Trust me, this picture – the idea was better than the execution. Who the hell uses a ball pool as a background!? Anyways – the weekend is prime testing time as far as I am concerned. The fact is most products need time if they are to be tested properly so I try and crack things open when I have the time to relax a bit more as Mr C can watch Baby H for […]
My oh my. I have had quite a busy year, I didn’t think I could top last year in terms of getting married, having a baby and moving house, but 2013 hasn’t exactly been peaceful. With that in mind, I have been on the more unhealthy side of late – I swear I am not always stuffing my face with McDonalds, but when I’m tired and the stress is on…I guess it’s just one of […]
It’s speed review time! Here are a few products I have been trying out these last few months and my thoughts on them (I couldn’t think of a more interesting way to put that…) Bumble & Bumble Surf Range I love a bit of Bumble & Bumble and love the fact you can now buy it at selected Boots stores. Their famous Surf Spray now has two siblings, a foam wash shampoo and a cream […]
I am not a big buyer of Solo or Single Eyeshadows, because I dislike the fuss of having to find all the colours you want, opening lots of different separate compacts…I like one palette with all the colours I could possibly need. However – it was a long day – we were on a trip and because of a motorway accident, a 3 hour trip took 7, so I ended up taking advantage of […]
I have recently been doing a foundation audit and the amount of bases I have is RIDICULOUS. But I can’t help it…whilst I definitely have some loves (and they are nearly always the pricey ones) I don’t have one Holy Grail foundation that I prize over others because my skin changes, the season changes, my needs change. On this basis, I think it’s totally fair that these three Estee Lauder foundations have entered my life: […]
Now that Baby H has hit seven months, I have really found some stand out organic skincare products that I like to use on him; these products are gentle enough for his dry and sensitive skin, are reasonable priced and are organic or at least omit any nasty or potentially allergenic ingredients. I will share more thoughts on baby skincare on my new mummy / parenting blog very soon! It is called Dragon Baby in […]
I am crazy for neutral toned eyeshadow palettes at the moment; I love having all the colours I need in one place in easy to wear tones. The brand recently released 3 quad palettes. The palette comes in 3 colourfast, Brown Gold for blue eyes, Blue/Grey for brown eyes and Plum for green eyes. I decided to go for Plum, just because the colours appealed to me the most and it’s different to other […]
Ever end up buying two of something and not realising until it’s too late?! Well this is what happened to me and this Kevin Beautymaker compact – I bought one then got another in the post (blog sale ahoy!). Apart from this annoyance and my obvious lack of memory, this little palette from Kevin Beautymaker is quite handy. It contains half of his Aqua Eye under eye concealer and half of his yellow Colour […]
