MAC Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in Staunchly Stylish

MAC Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in Staunchly Stylish (£15.00)

I have been meaning to pick up a MAC lip pencil for a while, but I wasn't sure what shade or formula I should get. After looking at swatches on various blogs, I settled on the Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in Staunchly Stylish. It's slightly more expensive than the standard MAC Lip Pencil, but it is meant to last longer on the lips etc. But was it worth the extra money?

Soups & Pesto with Tower Soup Maker

Soups are a big part of my diet and there is nothing better than a warming homemade soup on a cold day! Add a toasted garlic baguette or freshly baked bread and I am in heaven! That's why I couldn't say no to trying the Tower Soup Maker*. As a foodie, I simply couldn't wait to get cooking! 

Bobbi Brown Creamy Matte Lip Colour (NEW Nudes)

I am all about nude, matte lips at the moment and I have been loving the new shades of Bobbi Brown Creamy Matte Lip Colour* (£19.50 each). The new additions feature four dreamy nudes and I became slightly obsessed with one of them :) I mentioned it in my September Favourites and on my Instagram. It is LOVE!

New Limited Edition Nuxe Reve De Miel Lip Balms

To celebrate the 20th Birthday of the incredible Nuxe Reve De Miel Lip Balm*(£9.50), Nuxe released three limited edition designs with three different coloured lids: Pink, Yellow and Green.

Black Swan Halloween Makeup Look (AD)

When Fragrance Direct asked me to prepare a makeup look for their Halloween Lookbook, I couldn't wait to get creative. I was assigned the Black Swan look, which happens to be one of my favourite films ever :) Yay! Here is the final result. Yes, I realise that I look a little bit crazy :) I gave my husband a mini heart attack.

Illamasqua Multi Facet Palette in Semblance

Illamasqua's new Facets Collection launched today and it is absolutely stunning! I was kindly sent the Multi Facet Palette in Semblance* (£45.00) to try out and I am in love! 

Fitbug Orb Review

I like tracking my daily activities and workouts through various devices. I have a Fitbit Flex and a Polar FT4 watch and I reviewed both of  them on the blog in the past.  I am always on the lookout for new fitness gadgets though and the  Fitbug Orb* really caught my eye. It is everywhere at the moment and everyone seems to love it, but is it worth the hype?

September Favourites

I haven't been blogging daily lately (real life getting in the way, toddler tantrums etc), but I couldn't wait to share my September favourites with you! From gorgeous cream eyeshadows, to skincare recommendations for acne prone and dehydrated skin - there is something for everyone.

Antonia Burrell Pure Therapy Facial Oil Serum Giveaway

I am slightly obsessed with Antonia Burrell Pure Therapy Facial Oil Serum (15ml, £58.80), but I realise that it is quite an expensive skincare product and not everyone can afford it. I featured it in my August Favourites and I still feel the same way about it. It's simply amazing and every skin type will benefit from it. If you  fancy trying this luxury skincare product, make sure to fill in the giveaway widget below, as I am giving one away to one of my readers :)

Paco Rabanne Lady Million Eau My Gold! EDT

 Paco Rabanne Lady Million Eau My Gold! EDT* (50ml, £45.00)
Lady Million is one of my all time favourite scents and I am slightly obsessed with it, so I couldn't be more excited about the new Paco Rabanne fragrance - Eau My Gold! I know that some people hate the name, but I actually like it a lot :) It's fun right?

I HEART MAKEUP WOW STICKS

I love budget makeup brands, especially when it comes to lip products. The latest additions to my extensive collection are the I HEART MAKEUP Wow Sticks* (£2.99 each) and I am pretty impressed with them.

Autumn Vibes

Autumn (especially early Autumn) is my favourite season. I just love the crisp air, slightly chilly, but sunny days and cosy evenings under warm blankets. Add some hot chocolate and candles and I am one happy bunny :) I also love decorating the house with more Autumn appropriate flowers and ornaments and I wanted to show you some of my recent additions and arrangements.
