£12 Chloe Faye Dupe

I always carry a big bag with me, but I needed something smaller to take with me when I am out and about, so I had a little browse on ebay and I found this small Chloe Faye dupe for £12! I was worried it might be a complete waste of money, but it is absolutely gorgeous and I love it! After all, I just can't afford to fork out £930 on the real Chloe Faye at the moment, which is stunning by the way!

Charlotte Tilbury event & makeup masterclass.

Last week I attended a pretty special event - a makeup masterclass with the one and only... Charlotte Tilbury! Yep! The queen of makeup herself, showed us how to create her 'Dreamy Look' and we were sat in front of big mirrors, armed with all the products to follow the live lesson. AMAZING!

Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics Palette Review and Swatches

Whenever Urban Decay release a new eye shadow palette, I know it will be a good one. Their formula is my favourite and I love the brand with all my heart! The new Naked Ultimate Basics Palette*(£38.50) is one of the best UD releases since the original Naked palette came out and I am very pleased to have it in my collection. It's packed with stunning matte colours and perfect for everyday use.

Afternoon Tea with Liz Earle

Guess what my lovelies? I went to my first ever event! Yep... After saying no to events for over 4 years, I finally kicked my anxiety's butt and got over my fear of meeting new people and being socially awkward. I just couldn't say no to afternoon tea with Liz Earle, as her skincare products have a special place in my heart! It was such a lovely event and I was worried for no reason, because everyone was lovely and I am now feeling more comfortable going to any future blogger events.

Giorgio Armani Lip Magnet Liquid Lipsticks

I became obsessed with matte lipsticks (just like everyone else, I know...) and I very rarely wear anything else these days. Liquid formulas are my favoruite type and the new Giorgio Armani Lip Magnets*(£27.00) are the ultimate liquid lipstick dream! I am not exaggerating- they are the best liquid lipsticks I have ever tried and I fell in love with them at first application.

Primark Velvet Matte Lipstick Crayons

More Primark beauty bargains? Yes, please! I picked up some more of the Velvet Matte Lipstick Crayons and I love them sooo much. They are not the most incredible, luxe lip products out there, but for £2, with a nice formula and a matte finish, I am pretty impressed!

Perfect base with bareMinerals

I have been wearing a lot of makeup lately, so I am trying to make sure I have some light coverage/natural days too, just to give my skin a bit of a break. I have been using some fab bareMinerals products to cleanse and moisturise and their Complexion Rescue and Invisible Light Duo to even out my skintone and add a glow to my face.

Piccolo Organic Baby Food.

When it comes to baby food, I make most of it myself, from scratch. BLW or purees, I prefer to know what goes into it and avoid anything with preservatives, added sugars or artificial sweeteners. I do buy organic  food pouches occasionally, as Mia loves them and our new favourites are by Piccolo, an awesome brand we discovered recently.

Cosatto Hug Isofix Daisy Dot Car Seat with 5 Point Plus Anti-Escape System

There comes a time in your baby's life, when they are not so little anymore and they start growing out of their cot, pram and car seat. We have used a Doona for the past 14 months and as amazing as it was, it has to be put away for the next baby and Mia recently got an upgrade to a big girl seat. She was soooo excited during her first front facing ride! We opted for the Cosatto Hug Isofix Daisy Dot Car Seat*(£280.00) with 5 Point Plus Anti-Escape System and we absolutely love it!

Home Sweet Home

I have been a bad blogger... Yep... I said it. I actually can't believe it, but I have only been blogging once or twice a week. And you know what? I am not even feeling guilty about it. I am sooo busy with regular mum stuff these days, breastfeeding, school run, healing my back, getting in shape and enjoying life, that blogging took a back seat. I am more relaxed and I have been doing bits and bobs to make the house feel more cosy. It's so nice to just write this, because I am feeling like it, not because I have a deadline. Here are some lovely decor bits I purchased recently that I just adore, including some great bargains you might love!

Primark Liquid Lipsticks

I really wanted to try some metallic liquid lipsticks, so when I found some in Primark at £2.00 each, I couldn't resist. I picked up a gold, a sparkly burgundy and also a matte brown. 

BABY: Frugi A/W Reversible Dress

Can we just take a moment to discuss how hard it is to take photos of toddlers? Gone are the days, when Mia was happily posing for photos, lying down on a blanket, giggling and smiling. She is now a little tornado, so getting a photo of her in focus is practically impossible. I tried my best though :) Mia is wearing one of the new A/W pieces from Frugi and we absolutely love it!
