NEW! Benefit Porefessional License To Blot

There is a new addition to the Benefit Porefessional family - License To Blot*, an instant oil-blotting stick. I am a big fan of the Porefessional primer, so I couldn't wait to give this new interesting product a go. How does it work?

My everyday makeup routine (video).

I wasn't sure if I should add my first ever 'get ready with me' video, but hey... I have been meaning to do it for over 2 years now, so I am not going to wait any longer. No, it's not a chatty tutorial, but I am anxious putting it out there anyway. This look is my 'everyday face' at the moment, so I though it would be fun to film it. 

Roger & Gallet Fleur de Figuier EDP

I must admit - the new Roger & Gallet Fleur de Figuier EDP* arrived in style. One of the nicest deliveries I have ever received, complete with yummy macaroons, a personalised champagne flute, a scented candle and a mini bottle of bubbly. So thoughtful!

How To Relax After A Busy Day At Work

If you find you come home from work feeling worried and stressed, you’re not alone. However work stress isn’t just an inconvenience, it can also leave you with short and long term health conditions if you don’t deal with it properly. So many people are experiencing stress related conditions such as high-blood pressure, anxiety and digestive problems. In this article we take a look at some top tips for helping you to relax after a busy day at work and make your stress more manageable.


My simple hair styling routine + new tools

I don't use heat on my hair too often, but when I do, I always opt for soft curls. My hair is naturally poker straight and I am not a fan of that look, so I add some movement to it once a week. I don't know why, but it makes me feel much more feminine and confident. 

Dior Tie Dye Collection

When I first saw the images of Dior's Tie Dye Collection, I couldn't stop staring at the beautiful blushers. I am sure I wasn't the only one, haha :) They are stunning! The collection also features beautiful lipsticks, nails polishes, khol pens, an eyeshadow palette and more, to help you create a perfect Summer look.

Illamasqua To Be Alive Collection

Blue is quite a tricky colour when it comes to makeup, but... the two pieces I received from Illamasqua's To Be Alive Collection couldn't be easier to pull off - a gorgeous opalescent blue nail polish and a clear lipgloss with a bit of shimmer. Gorgeous!

Pur Minerals Pout Pens


 I really like lip stains and I remember a time when the only thing I wore on my lips was Benetint, I went through so many bottles of that stuff! I also stained many tops with it, so a tint in a pen/marker format, like the Pur Minerals Pout Pen* (£14.00) is a godsend! I was kindly sent two shades to try out and I am in love!

Pregnancy update: 26 weeks

I wasn't going to write an update for this week, but I had a midwife appointment and an unplanned scan, so there is a lot to talk about and I like rambling about my pregnancy, haha :)  It's a long one, so grab a cuppa.

Bourjois La Laque Nail Polishes

Don't you love a good nail polish? The 'one coat wonder' type that dries pretty quickly and lasts well on the nails? Well... The new Bourjois La Laque Nail Varnishes* (£6.49) offer exactly that and they come in really cool packaging too. Like all Bourjois products, these are also very affordable and often on offer in Boots and Superdrug. Amazing!

Burberry Kisses Lipstick

I am pretty sure that everyone and their mother managed to get their hands on a free sample of the stunning Burberry Kisses Lip Colour back in March/April. It was possibly the best twitter campaign ever. I opted for a beautiful nude shade called Nude Pink (05) and I am in love!
