Models Own Makeup

I am a bit late to the party (I feel like I start most of my reviews this way, haha), but hey... Models Own do makeup! I love their nail polishes and they were one of the first brands I fell in love with back when I started blogging, so it's nice to see them expanding their makeup collection and branching out into a new territory. I think they had a few makeup bits on offer already, but the new selection is huge!

Too Faced La Creme Lipsticks

I don't own many Too Faced products, but I have always been intrigued by the brand and the two products I have tried are amazing - the Better Than Sex Mascara (review) and one of the La Creme lipsticks in Juicy Watermelon (review). When I was kindly sent the latest shades from the range, I was like a kid with new toys :) Couldn't wait to swatch them all and play around with the colours. The La Creme Color Drenched Lipsticks*(£18.00) are simply stunning inside and out and I am obsessed with the formula!

Lancome Grandiose Bendable Liner Review

I am one of those people who is faithful to one liner and keeps repurchasing it. I try a lot of new formats and formulas, but I always stick to my one and only Bourjois Liner Pinceau in Black. It has been my Holy Grail for the past 7 years and I don't think it will ever change. There aren't many liners that even compare to my favourite, but the new Lancome Grandiose*(£23.00) is now officially my second choice and I adore it!

Current skincare favourites

My skin has been a real pain lately, with lots of hormonal breakouts and those horrible little bumps right under the surface. I am pretty sure that it has something to do with the amount of cake I've had recently for mine and Mia's birthday. Anyway... I am currently sticking to a simple regime and these are my favourite products to help me soothe my skin, get rid of the scarring and prevent future breakouts.

New Benefit Brows

When it comes to brows, Benefit products have always been the most popular, along with their brow bars. The full range was recently revamped, with many new additions as well and an extended selection of shades, which is always a bonus. I have four of the products to show you today, so let's get started.

Mia's Big Girl Cot (Little Green Sheep Mattress & Mattress Protector Review)

When Mia grew out of her Snuzpod (insert sad face), I decided to get her a new cot bed as the mattress in the travel cot I used for Zachary had to be replaced anyway. I opted for the simple Ikea Gulliver Cot, as you can convert it to a toddler bed easily and I liked the white wood. 

Classic Black Wrap Dress

Can we take a moment to acknowledge that our British Summer is officially over? Was that hot week back in May supposed to be it? I am wearing black tights, cardigans and ankle boots in July! Yep... We couldn't even take the photos yesterday after I got ready, as it was raining ALL DAY!  Are you wearing Autumn outfits too?

Moomooi by Feelunique

I adore pretty things, so when this gorgeous bundle arrived at my doorstep, I fell in love immediately. Feelunique collaborated with a talented illustrator Meredith Wing to create this dreamy 'Moomooi' collection and you can now buy it from feelunique.com. The prices are very affordable and all of the pieces are hard to resist.

Urban Decay Vice Lipsticks

I am sure you've heard about Urban Decay launching a whopping 100 shades of VICE lipstick*(£15.00), right? Now that's what I call a good selection of colours and finishes. I have 5 of the lippies to show you today and they are simply stunning!

Ted Baker Layally Bag and my thoughts on designer pieces. Worth the splurge?

I featured my gorgeous Ted Baker Layally Bag in many outfit posts, but I wanted to review it separately and share my thoughts on designer bags and if I am happy with my purchase or if I regret it 2 years later. 

Mamas & Papas Zoom Travel System Review

A good travel system is essential when you have a baby and I was hoping to use Zachary's one for Mia, but it got damaged when our garage roof started leaking. As I left all baby purchases till last minute, we ended up with no travel system for Mia when she arrived 5 weeks early. We eventually got the Doona to get out and about, but for proper outings, we opted for the Mamas & Papas Zoom Travel System*.

Breastfeeding Stories: Marissa & Iver

As promised, I am continuing the 'breastfeeding cafe' I hosted with Medela with a series of breastfeeding stories from other mums, as I thought it would be a good idea to share some boobie love on the blog regularly. Today, Marissa (who is a lovely mum I chat to on instagram) is sharing her breastfeeding story with her little boy Iver.
