Lancome Treats!
This was yet another fall collection that I was stupidly excited about. I had asked the lovely lady that works on the Lancome counter in Boots when they were expecting it and I was straight down on Saturday for a peek at the goodies. I adore the combination of gold...
Things I’ve been loving this month…
The end of August already? Where is the year going? I honestly feel as if I only unpacked my summer sandals last week and yet I'm writing this while wearing a snuggly pair of tan boots. August bank jollyday and it feels decidedly autumnal outside. Oh well. Here are...
Chanel Goodies
I have been so excited about this collection! I kept wandering past the Chanel counter in my local Debenhams because I really didn't want to miss out on swatching everything as soon as it was released! In the end I purchased the Murano quad and Gondola nail polish. I...
My Birthday Make-up and Outfit
This post is a little late (my birthday was two weeks ago)! I had to wait for my sister to send me the pics she took as I stupidly forgot to take my camera out with us. She only managed to take a few in the restaurant while we were having our meal so unfortunately...

Make-up and Beauty Monday Poll
I'm too tired to write a proper post tonight, despite having a million things I want to blog about. I sat my first university exam today and I'm exhausted. One more to go and I'll be finished. I can't wait. The stress is horrible and I'd much rather be at home playing...

Going Up...It's the weekend and my in-laws (or sin-laws as I lovingly call them... my boyfriend is yet to make an honest woman of me) are coming to stay. They've not seen baby boy since the day he was born. They're in for a shock as he's mahoooosive! He was 9lb at...

The wrong side of 25!
It's my birthday today! I've had an amazing weekend of celebrating and have been spoiled rotten by my wonderful friends and family. My mum babysat on Saturday night and a crowd of us went out for an Italian meal. I had so much fun getting dressed up. It was my first...

Going up...Liquid Foundation, specifically Chanel ProLumiere. I hadn't worn anything but my compact or mineral foundation since my son was born as I worried applying a liquid would take too long. However, I've been using a small squirt of this, applying it with my...
