Ole Henriksen Truth To Go Wipes

I am totally against using wipes as a 'cleansing method', but I always have a packet of good quality face wipes in my stash and my favourite ones are the Ole Henriksen Truth To Go Wipes. Actually... they are the only wipes I have been using since last April/May, when I discovered them in a WIMH Ole Henriksen Discovery Kit. 

Urban Decay Electric Palette - review and swatches

Urban Decay Electric Palette* (£38.00)

I am a self-confessed Urban Decay addict and I consider their eye shadows THE BEST on the market. I am pretty sure that everyone who knows their formula will definitely agree with me. Their new Electric Palette was designed with colour addicts in mind, containing 10 insanely bright pressed pigments, with 8 of them being totally new and 2 featured in previous limited edition palettes. There is a nice selection of matte and shimmers, all super pigmented and and with a velvety texture.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush - Mood Exposure

I couldn't resist ordering another stunning Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush (£28.00) and I settled on Mood Exposure this time. I am still obsessed with Radiant Magenta, but I wanted something for days when I don't have too much time to do my makeup and need a multi-tasking cheek colour.

Big Green Smile stock some of my favourite natural brands and they kindly offered my readers a chance to win some vouchers to spend on their website.

Quick Noodle Soup Recipe

Hi everyone. I hope you are having a lovely, relaxed Sunday :) As promised, here is the recipe for my favourite noodle soup I mentioned on Instagram a couple of times. I can't take all the credit for it though, because it was originally  my husbands creation. He made it for me when I was ill a couple of months ago and I have been making it at least twice a week since then, adding my own twist to it and trying different flavours. It is really quick to make (takes about 20 minutes), filling and relatively healthy, depending on the ingredients you use.

Beauty wishlist / online basket

I am trying to use up as many products as I can before buying new ones, but my current feelunique basket is full of skincare/body care and hair care items and I am really tempted to click 'proceed to checkout' right now :) I actually need a new exfoliating toner and emergency face wipes, so I will have to place a cheeky order this weekend anyway, but I am not sure if my budget allows me to buy all of the product mentioned in this post :)

Love Me Beauty Box - March 2014

This month's  Love Me Beauty Box* (£10.00 + £2.95 P&P) features a really nice selection of product, including many brands I haven't tried before and some I already know from previous beauty boxes. There is makeup, skin care, body care and even a sample of toothpaste and pretty falsies! Six products in total and all of them quite exciting.

Fitbit Flex Review. Is it worth the price tag?

I am obsessed with my Polar FT4 Fitness Watch and it was the best investment ever, so I was very excited to try the Fitbit Flex* when I received it as a gift recently. It is a little device designed to track steps, distance, and calories burned and help you achieve your daily goals. Sounds good right? I got the pink version, which retails at £79.99 at the moment, but... is it worth the price tag?

Mother's Day Gift Ideas +discount for Debenhams Flowers

Mother's Day is one of the most special days of the year and since I became a mum myself, I can fully understand how much effort, tears and love goes into motherhood. It is a special bond, one words simply cannot describe! In 2014, we will be celebrating Mother's Day on the 30th of March, which is very soon and if you are stuck for ideas and need some inspiration, here are some of my top picks.

'Pink Diamond' Steamcream and 20% off code for my readers

 STEAMCREAM 'Pink Diamond'* £12.95

With it's stunning selection of tin designs and a unique formula, STEAMCREAM is one of the most popular moisturisers on the market. It is also very affordable and makes a wonderful gift. I got my first tin last year and I can't recommend it enough. 

Healthy, vegan banana & coconut ice cream recipe

I shared a picture of this delicious dessert on my instagram and many of you were surprised with how easy it was to make. Ice-cream  ready in 5 minutes, made with only two ingredients? Yep! It couldn't be more simple to make. All you need to prepare it are frozen bananas, desiccated coconut and a food processor.  Healthy, clean (whatever you want to call it) and... absolutely delicious!
