CK One Eye Shadows- Review and Swatches

CK One Eye Shadows* (£12.00 each)

I love eye shadows and they take up about 40% of my makeup storage, so I was very excited to give the CK One beauties a go. The packaging is unique, yet very simple and the colours are absolutely gorgeous! I was kindly sent a couple of shades to try out and I am very impressed.

Autumn Eye Shadow Palettes: Urban Decay, The Balm, Clarins, Barry M, MUA, Laura Mercier, Eye Of Horus

Autumn is probably my favourite 'makeup season' and as soon as the weather becomes a bit chilly, I find myself reaching for eye shadow palettes on a daily basis. They all deserve more love and I always  feel horrible about neglecting them (a tiny bit) in Spring/Summer. I went through my eye shadow stash and picked some gorgeous palettes with earthy, brown and golden shades. I love warm eyes in Autumn, especially with a touch of burgundy or green. 

The Repurchase: Origins Super Spot Remover Review

I very rarely repurchase skincare products, but a couple of gems made it to my 'repurchase list' and I simply can't live without them. I was asked to review the Origins Super Spot Remover by some of my readers, so I thought that starting a new series of posts, about some fab products I repurchased is a great idea.

Debenhams styling challenge: OOTD under £100

More mens fashion? Well, we were asked to take part in another great challenge and we couldn't say no. This time, the task was to style a full outfit under £100, taking advantage of Debenhams sales. 

Lancome Hydra Zen Gift Set Review

Lancôme used to be my go to brand when I first started using more expensive skincare and makeup and I still use some of their products regularly. My favourites include their Teint Miracle Foundation and Bi-Facil Make-up Remover. I was recently sent the Hydra Zen Gift Set* (£38.00) to try out and all the products left me quite impressed. I might become a Lancome addict again :)

Shades Of Green A/W Fashion Challenge

When I was asked to take part in 'How To wear A/W 2013' challenge, I couldn't say no. The five categories included: Shades of Green, Statement Outerwear ,Winter White, Grungey Plaid  and Classic Patterns. As you can see, I was assigned to the Shades Of Green category. I thought it was going to be easy, but I spent hours in high street shops, trying to put the £80 budget to good use and plan my three outfits.  I bought three main pieces and some accessories and my total came to £63. I am quite impressed actually. The idea was to make the new pieces work with what you already have in your wardrobe. Here is what I bought:

Recent Beauty Purchases: Bourjois, Nuxe, Nails Inc, Bumble and Bumble, Origins, Liz Earle

I am trying to be sensible with money, but I couldn't resist a couple of bargains. I also had to stock up on some essentials, like Bourjois Nail Polish Remover, Healthy Mix Foundation, Origins Super Spot Remover and Liz Earle Eyebright Lotion. I bought most of the products online, but I managed to pick up a couple of things from Boots and Superdrug as well.

Neom Perfect Night's Sleep Set Review: Tranquility Candle, Bath Foam and Room Mist

Getting a good night's sleep is very important to me and I cannot function properly, if I don't get a minimum of 8 hours. I try to go to bed around 23.00 and I am woken up by my 2 year old toddler between 8.00-9.00 in the morning. I know... I should feel lucky :) haha. I am extremely grateful for having such a good sleeper. One thing stopping me from drifting off to sleep is anxiety. To deal with it, I have been using Neom's Tranquility products with Lavender, known for it's sedative qualities.
