NEW Bourjois Rouge Edition 12 Hour Lipsticks

I love Bourjois - I really, really do! Their bases and concealers are regular repurchases for me and the lip products are some of my all time favourite formulas and colours. The new 12 Hour Lipsticks* wowed me as well and I can't get enough of the nude shades. There is also a shade revival of Pamplemousse, back by popular demand.

There has been a lot of hype surrounding the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara* (£19.00), so when a small sample of it arrived in the post, I applied it to my lashes immediately! Is it worth the hype?

Fashion Monday #4 / Leopard Print Trainers

I am all about comfort and I am also all about leopard print, haha... That's why I treated myself to a pair of Leopard Print Trainers (£17.00) from Asos. They were originally £28.00, but I spotted them on sale and I couldn't resist. 

Toni & Guy Extreme Volume Rollers

Toni & Guy Extreme Volume Rollers*(£60.00) 

I don't style my hair too often, but I love the way my hair looks, when I use heated rollers. They add volume, create big glam curls and are super easy to use. I own the Enrapture rollers already and I adore them, but I was excited to try an alternative.

Chanel Deauville Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick

Chanel Deauville Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick* (£26.00)

I don't own many Chanel products, but I do love the formula of Rouge Coco Shine Lipsticks and I wish I had more of them in my stash. They are simply divine! The latest addition to my collection is shade 67 - Deauville*- a perfect everyday shade for those who don't like bold or bright lips and prefer more neutral options.

Guest Post: Favourite MAC lipsticks / Tasha Meline

Hi there! My name is Tasha and I write for www.tashameline.com. Today I will be guest posting on Sandra’s lovely blog about my top six MAC lipsticks. A very big thank you to Sandra for asking me to guest post whilst she is away! 

Before trying MAC lipsticks I wasn’t a huge lip product lover and could often be found with only lip balm on but once I had bought my first MAC lipstick, I couldn’t stop wearing them. I've only been collecting MAC lipsticks for the last five to six months but in that time they really have become my favourite so here are my top six out of my collection.
