The Perfume Course at The Cotswold Perfumery for people who like…Fragrances!

The-Cotswold-Perfumery-.jpg

Tweet A few weeks ago I was supposed to attend a Perfumery lesson at The Cotswold Pefumery.  I was really looking forward to it; I’m no perfume connoisseur but I do love a bit of DIY – unfortunately Mr C’s car broke (who needs a clutch anyway?) so we couldn’t make the 4 hour drive. Nevertheless, I thought I’d show you The Cotswold Perfumery! Such a pretty building! The perfumery courses are run by John Stephen, who takes you through the {Read More}

The Queen applies lipstick!

The-queen-applying-lipstick.jpg

Tweet This is totally random, but I couldn’t help but be tickled by this photograph of HRH The Queen applying lipstick at the Highland Games in Scotland. I really like The Queen, she is my favourite Royal – and clearly she is a fan of bright pink lipstick and can apply without looking in a mirror! I have no idea what lipstick that is though – it’s tiny – reminds me of a Besame. It goes to show that everyone {Read More}

Unrelated beauty rant: The Manchester Metrolink Tram Service are possibly the worst public transport service, EVER

Metrolink-manchester-shit.jpg

Tweet Look away if you don’t like reading random rants about random stuff.  Because today I am talking about dreaded public transport. Oh yes. No matter where you are in the world, I am sure you have your brushes with overpriced, under performing public transport. For me it’s a tram system called the Metrolink. Public Transport out of London generally sucks.  Oh Londoners, I know you want to say the Tube smells, and it’s busy, and this line and that {Read More}

Skingenesis Manchester Salon Review and Rant! Rant! Rant!

Cat-therapist.jpg

Tweet I’ve had to wait all week to post this due to my hosting problems, so let’s just say my initial ire has faded somewhat. So accept my mellowed out version of what was a pretty crap-tastic experience at Skingenesis salon last Thursday.  Aren’t they lucky!? So the story begins with how damn hard it was to get an appointment with Skingenesis when using a Wahanda voucher – eventually I did get a slot for after work, midweek. Officially my {Read More}

Vivienne Westwood doesn’t like Kate Middleton’s Felt Tip-esque Eyeliner, What do you think?

Kate-Middleton-Eyeliner-Black-Too-much-1.jpg

Tweet When Kate Middleton because the Duchess of Cambridge, it was widely reported that the Bride did her own make up for the day, after taking some make up lessons. I am actually all for this – unless someone stupendous ends up doing my bridal make up, I’d much rather do it myself rather than pay for an average job. There was one thing people picked up on when it came to Kate Middleton’s bridal make up – her dark {Read More}

Online Shopping Dilemma: Is it ‘NEW’ or not?! Shopping with Vooboodoo

confused-cat-.jpg

Tweet So before I start ranting again, I thought I’d ask you dear readers, what you think about a problem I’m having with an item I purchased recently. I purchased a facial toner/lotion, the Japanese liquid type from someone I have bought from before – Vooboodoo on eBay, the same person who runs Facial-shop.com.  They tend to sell sample and tester products – they’re new but they may come marked as ‘tester’ or ‘sample’ but the listings usually say. Now {Read More}

Tweet Thanks Emma. Chocolates from here. Crap. Does that make it non-wordless? I guess I’m no good at being wordless.

Frugal Friday: What are you reading?

How-to-make-a-million-17-day-diet-revolutionary-road.jpg

Tweet It’s time for another Frugal Friday and this time…let’s talk about other things to do other than: A. Buy make up B. Think about buying make up, and C. Writing up lists of make up to buy. Reading! I love reading although I don’t have much time for it anymore. I have a massive book collection – gathered from my childhood, University days and current interests.  I don’t see books as a luxury purchase at all! I can’t seem {Read More}
