New from Crownbrush

I mentioned Crownbrush makeup on the blog in the past and I am obsessed with their Liquid Rose Gold Highlighter. They also do an amazing foundation! I was kindly sent some of their new makeup releases to try out and I wanted to share a quick post to let you see what's available. I even managed to take some photos of me wearing the products. Yay :)

Pregnancy is a scary time!

I wasn't planning to write this post, but after experiencing something super scary today, I just had to share my experience. I mentioned in my last update, that when I went for a walk to the shop with Zachary, I experienced really bad back pain and started getting contractions... Well... today was a totally different story and I have been in tears all day.

Benefit Do The Hoola Kit

Benefit makeup sets are absolutely adorable and their new Do The Hoola Kit* is ideal for those who love a bronzed complexion, long lashes and juicy lips. Packed with 5 amazing products, including an new liquid Hoola bronzer, the kit is available exclusively from QVC and you can get it for only £23.16. Bargain!

Pregnancy Update: 19-23 weeks

I am 23 weeks pregnant today and my bump is huge :) Which is great, as there is no confusion anymore. Still fat, but definitely visibly pregnant. I love having a round, firm bump and I love the way it looks in tight tops. We just came back from Poland and I am exhausted. Flying with a toddler while pregnant is hard work. He was well behaved on the plane, but the waiting and queues were a bit stressful. We met our beautiful niece and Zachary fell in love with her. He kept touching her little hands and kissing her face. Soooo cute!

Fashion: Carvela Laurel Leopard Print Flats

I have a slight obsession with leopard print and the only shoes I currently wear are pumps, so these Carvela Laurel Leopard Print Flats* (House Of Fraser) were the perfect pair for me. The colour is totally different than anything I already own so they add a nice touch to plain outfits (I mostly wear black and grey).

Pregnancy update: It's a girl!

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know that when we went for our 20 weeks scan, we found ot the gender of our baby and... we are having a little girl. I am soooo excited! I have always wanted a boy and a girl, so I couldn't be happier with the news. Zachary will be an awesome big brother :)

My Little Dream Box (April)

I wasn't 100% happy with last months edition of My Little Box, so I had high hopes for this months offering - My Little Dream Box. The theme sounded right up my street and once I had a look inside, I was absolutely delighted with the contents! YAY!

Jo Malone Vanilla & Anise Cologne

Jo Malone Vanilla & Anise Cologne* (£82.00) is possibly the most expensive fragrance in my collection. Yes, it definitely is. It is my first Jo Malone cologne and I wasn't sure what to get, but my vanilla obsession made me pick Vanilla & Anise :)

What's In My Makeup Bag

I haven't done a 'What's in my makeup bag' post in ages, so here is an updated one. I wanted to show you exactly what was in the bag, so I photographed all the contents after a day out, without planning anything or adding/removing products. It's the real deal :) 

Spring Wishlist

I love a good wishlist, so I thought I will put together a selection of items I have my eye on :) There is always something I want.... let's be honest :) I actually have a couple of excuses now, as my baby bump is growing fast, I need a hospital bag and some new comfy flats for Spring.

Current skincare favourites

Skincare is very personal and what works for me might not be ideal for you, but I like sharing my favourites sometimes. I have been trying to stick to the same products for a while and my skin seems to be happy with this little routine, so I thought I will let you know what I have been using.

Chocolate chip cookies and cream no-bake cake recipe

Baking is not my forte, but I enjoy occasional sweet treats, especially if they don't require actual baking, haha. My recent creation is this dreamy chocolate chip cookies and cream fridge cake and it is the most simple cake I have ever made. Seriously, it takes about 15 minutes to make.
