Date Night At Home

Finding time for date night as a parent who doesn't really have any childcare available to them is hard! We manage to go out for a meal once every 2/3 months, but that's it. That's why I was super excited about the idea of  the Get Date Night box, which allows you to have quality time together in the comfort of your own home! All you need is some free time and the rest is in the box! Yay!

Mia's Cute Frugi Outfit

I  almost forgot about this cute little outfit we were kindly sent as a thank you for being guest bloggers on Frugi's blog (read our post about healthy snacks for kids here). How adorable does Mia look in pink and blue? I am in love! All these items are actually on sale right now, just in case you want to treat your little one to some beautiful organic cotton pieces.

Mia is wearing the Little Lola Dress in a lovely pink colour, with white stripes, a beautiful pony applique on the front and a bow at the top. The elasticated neckline makes it super easy to put on/take off which is ideal when you're dealing with a crazy little munchkin like Mia :) PS.She's wearing size 12-18 months right now.

 To go with the dress and cardi, we picked the Little Norah Tights in a turquoise colour with white polka dots and a pop of pink on the toes and heels. Soo, sooo pretty!

The Happy Day Cardigan is made with the softest organic cotton and the quality is outstanding! We've washed it many times already and it still looks brand new! It is perfect for the transitional period between Summer and Autumn and adds a gorgeous pop of colour to any outfit. We love it!

 Just look at that cheeky little face and her cute teeth! Oh, I love her sooo, sooo much, even when she's being a diva, haha :)

 Pulling more silly faces. My little ray of sunshine! She makes me laugh 24/7!

If you've never ordered from Frugi before, make sure to check out their sale here to see for yourself how well made and beautiful their clothes are. We can't recommend their lovely products enough!

My current go to makeup look.

Since Zachary started school I have been wearing makeup Monday to Friday, as I just can't face new people without some slap on! Maybe I will relax more in a few months, but at the moment, I ain't going nowhere without winged liner, haha :) This look has been my go to lately and here's what I used to create it.

Models Own Makeup

I am a bit late to the party (I feel like I start most of my reviews this way, haha), but hey... Models Own do makeup! I love their nail polishes and they were one of the first brands I fell in love with back when I started blogging, so it's nice to see them expanding their makeup collection and branching out into a new territory. I think they had a few makeup bits on offer already, but the new selection is huge!

Too Faced La Creme Lipsticks

I don't own many Too Faced products, but I have always been intrigued by the brand and the two products I have tried are amazing - the Better Than Sex Mascara (review) and one of the La Creme lipsticks in Juicy Watermelon (review). When I was kindly sent the latest shades from the range, I was like a kid with new toys :) Couldn't wait to swatch them all and play around with the colours. The La Creme Color Drenched Lipsticks*(£18.00) are simply stunning inside and out and I am obsessed with the formula!

Lancome Grandiose Bendable Liner Review

I am one of those people who is faithful to one liner and keeps repurchasing it. I try a lot of new formats and formulas, but I always stick to my one and only Bourjois Liner Pinceau in Black. It has been my Holy Grail for the past 7 years and I don't think it will ever change. There aren't many liners that even compare to my favourite, but the new Lancome Grandiose*(£23.00) is now officially my second choice and I adore it!

Current skincare favourites

My skin has been a real pain lately, with lots of hormonal breakouts and those horrible little bumps right under the surface. I am pretty sure that it has something to do with the amount of cake I've had recently for mine and Mia's birthday. Anyway... I am currently sticking to a simple regime and these are my favourite products to help me soothe my skin, get rid of the scarring and prevent future breakouts.

New Benefit Brows

When it comes to brows, Benefit products have always been the most popular, along with their brow bars. The full range was recently revamped, with many new additions as well and an extended selection of shades, which is always a bonus. I have four of the products to show you today, so let's get started.
