December Favourites


I am a bit late again with my monthly favourites, but there are many products I have been loving and I wanted to share them with you, so let's get started :)

Convenient Ways to Add Value to your Property

Do you feel as though your property isn’t quite as valuable as it could be? If so then now is the time for you to do something about that. By taking action now, you can make sure that your home stays profitable, for when you decide to sell.

NEW! theBalm Cindy-Lou Manizer aka the "Con-tour" artist


OMG! Did you know that theBalm released another stunning highlighter? Cindy-Lou Manizer is now available to buy in America and it should be arriving in the UK at the end of January and I couldn't be more excited! I adore their Mary-Lou & Betty-Lou Manizers and the only missing shade was a pink toned beauty! 

Ebay bargains: colourful watches


I totally forgot to blog about these last year, but better late than never :) If you are looking for cheap ways to accessorize your outfit, you can't really go wrong with a cool watch :) I got mine from Hong Kong and waited 2-3 weeks for delivery, but I noticed that UK sellers started selling them at the same price recently, which is under £3.00!!! Bargain!

Staying fit is a great way to ensure good health and well-being. However, as far as fitness is concerned, working out doesn’t mean you have to always be at the gym. You can also perform a lot of exercises from the comfort of your home. Whether you want to boost your endurance, build muscles, increase strength, or lose weight, at-home workouts can provide great benefits. Gone are the days when gyms were the only places to get a good quality full-body exercise. Once you are ready to put in the effort, an at-home workout can deliver benefits like those outlined below.


MAC 217 dupes - comparison


After hearing many good things about the MAC 217 brush, I finally ordered it. You can read my full review of 217 here, but today I would like to introduce you to some more affordable dupes of the brush, ranging from 99p to £10.50. Some of them are incredible and very similar to the amazing 217, some are simply ok and one is a bit disappointing. Is the MAC 217 THE BEST? I will give you a spoiler. YES!

New Real Techniques Brushes

As a huge Real Techniques fan, I am very excited for their 2014 launches. When I say, that their brushes are the best I have ever tried - I really mean it. They are super soft, cruelty free and... affordable! The quality is outstanding and they do not shed a single hair! Amazing! The new launches include a Retractable Kabuki Brush, a  Retractable Bronzer Brush, a Retractable Lip Brush and a Silicone Liner Brush. They are already available in America and will be launching in UK at the end of January.

Changing my unrealistic expectations + some FITspiration :)



Every January, some of us make resolutions to eat healthy, start exercising and get fit in general. Healthy eating is something I am passionate about and I started exercising regularly last year, but... I wouldn't consider myself fit. If I had to run a couple of miles today, I would probably cry, because I never run during the colder months...  I would love to be able to run a marathon one day and it is definitely something I will consider in the future, but at the moment, I just want to be as fit and as healthy as possible. 

MAC Coppering Eye Makeup Look


I wore this look on Christmas Day and New Years Eve and I absolutely love it. It is super simple and you only need two eyeshadows to create it - MAC Coppering and Nylon. If you have similar shades from other brands- you can use them instead. I would definitely recommend picking up Coppering though, because it is simply stunning. Nylon is just a highlight colour and you can swap it for any light beige :)

Your health is not something that you should be ignoring. It’s easier to bury your head in the sand rather than deal with any potential problems that you might be facing, but this is not a productive way to take care of yourself, is it? Nope, you need to be looking at your health and thinking about what you can actually do to make it better! Down below, we’re going to be taking a look at some of the ways that you can take back the reins when it comes to your health, so keep reading if you’re interested in learning more. 

By Terry Or De Rose Baume Precieux


Please feel free to correct me, if I am wrong but... I think I am about to review the most expensive lip balm in the world. The limited edition By Terry Or De Rose Baume Precieux retails at £46.00, but I managed to get my mitts on this gorgeous little pot with a 50% discount in the Space NK sale :) The most important question - Is it worth the hefty price tag?

What I got for Christmas & Sale Purchases :)


I love reading 'What I got for Christmas' posts, so I decided to show you what I got from Santa too :) I am probably the worst person to buy for, because I own far too many beauty products and people don't want to risk getting me something I already have, but.. this year I asked for non-beauty stuff from family and money from my husband. I know... A bit sad, but I wanted a lot of beauty bits from the sales, so it was the best idea. So... Here is what I got for Christmas 2013.
