Gas hobs are timeless and add a lovely rustic feel to your kitchen. They also heat a lot faster than electric ones, so there are practical reasons to keep them! One of the key problems with a gas hob is figuring out how to clean it. From removing the racks, to trying to get rid of as much grime as possible. 

Makeup Look: MAC Expensive Pink, Club and Nylon

I am still obsessed with my MAC palette and I try to create a nice variety of looks, instead of going for the same brown smoky eye every single day :) Obviously, there is nothing wrong with that,  but I simply want to get a lot of use out of all the individual eye shadows I picked for my palette. My favourite look so far must be the combination of Expensive Pink with Club and Nylon. I must admit, I wore it more than once, because it really suits my eye colour.

Sigma Warm Neutrals Palette - Enlight Collection

Sigma Warm Neutrals Eye Shadow Palette* (£29.95)

I was lucky to receive this beautiful Sigma palette, before the official launch date and I must admit- I am really impressed with it! The Warm Neutrals palette is part of Sigma's new Enlight Collection and it will launch on the 9th of December in the UK. The collection also includes makeup brushes, lip glosses, cream eye shadow bases, blushers and eyeliners and it will be available from Beauty Chamber.

Fabulous Gifts between £15 and £30.

It's time for the second part of my Christmas Gift Guide, featuring presents in the £15-£30 category. There is something for everyone, including makeup, skincare, bodycare and aromatherapy. 

Stocking Fillers and Gift Sets under £15

I am happy to report, that I have done most of my Christmas shopping already, but I know that many of you are still looking for stocking fillers and gift sets. This week, I will be sharing three gift guides, featuring a selection of items in three different price categories. I am starting with £15 and under :) 

Fashion World Shapewear Challenge

I was recently asked by Fashion World , if I would like to take part in their 'Shapewear Challenge' and as someone who needs a little bit a lot of help with smoothing their body shape, I couldn't say no :) I must admit - if shapewear didn't exist, I wouldn't even consider wearing a bodycon dress, because I am very body/self conscious and I don't like my tummy area. Anyway... 

Monochrome Manicure with Leighton Denny

Leighton Denny Exclusive Monochrome Offer* £14.00

This little set is an absolute bargain, especially for those who are looking for the perfect white nail polish or simply want to try the monochrome trend. For only £14.00 you get two full size Leighton Denny nail polishes - Pure Creation and Maneater - saving £8.00 in total. Pretty good deal in my opinion. The duo is my first experience with Leighton Denny  nail polishes and I must admit - I am really impressed. 

Christmas with Bath & Unwind

Beauty gift sets are always my favourite presents and I can't imagine Christmas without buying them for my family or receiving a selection of beauty goodies myself. I was kindly sent a couple of beautiful sets from Bath & Unwind recently and I must admit- it felt like Christmas and I might have squealed when I opened the box :)

My favourite Autumn/Winter Blushers

I usually wear subtle colours on my cheeks, but my blusher collection includes many strong colours too and there is no better time to wear them than A/W. The only reason why I normally avoid darker colours is because I tend to overdo my blush and end up looking like a clown :) haha. It is easily fixed though. I have three favourites at the moment, all absolutely gorgeous and nicely pigmented.

The Urban Retreat Beautique Gift With Purchase

I do love a good Gift With Purchase Offer and I must admit - they simply keep getting better. If you are still looking for Christmas gifts (or want to treat yourself) and want to get the best deal, taking advantage of GWP events is the best idea. The Urban Retreat Beautique is launching their offer tomorrow (29th of November) and if you spend £150 online, you will receive over £110 worth of luxury treats, from skincare and haircare to high end makeup. The Urban Retreat Gift With Purchase contains:
