It’s funny – for all the planning in the world, on my actual wedding day I wasn’t half as anal about my make up I thought I would be. Don’t get me wrong – I packed things I knew I liked to use, and didn’t overwhelm myself with tons of choices so that I […]

I got married! A few wedding photos
A few weeks ago I made an honest man of Mr C after 7 and a half years together. We had originally decided to get married last December and toyed around with different dates. We always knew we’d get married one day, but with so many things going on it’s always a challenge to coordinate […]
Monday Giveaway: Win Transformulas Eye Lifting Gel!
Happy Monday! If there is such thing?! I have another one of those killer weeks up ahead unfortunately; we have an ill kitty who needs hand feeding (with a syringe) at the moment which means we can’t be out and about too much, I am holding the fort at work this week with various people […]
The Olympic Ceremony Look designed by Max Factor
I can’t believe time passes so quickly and that the Olympics will start tonight! I will try to watch the opening ceremony (it depends on what happens with sick kitty) and the games in general – I do enjoy diving, gymnastics and sometimes swimming! Anyway, this really pretty look was created by make up artist […]
Kitty on my mind…
My big fat white fluffy kitty cat has been unwell recently; it only started about 12 days ago and two vet visits later she’s going in for an ultrascan today. Some days she seems completely weak and lethargic, other days she’s more alert. Unfortunately there was a wait getting her in to see the sonographer […]
Speed Reviews Round 1: Visee Mineral Cheeks Baby Finish, Canmake Eye Nuance in Brilliant Garden Reviews
Roll up, roll up – time is of the essence so here is my first speed review post with a mixture of bits and pieces I’ve tried out over the last few months but just don’t have the time (or the words?) to do a full review on! First up – Visee’s Limited Edition Mineral […]
Hair Cut Advice: From long to medium! Mid length hair style choices…
I’ve totally decided that it’s time to cut down my long hair to a more manageable mid length hair style – my hair grows so fast but it’s also really damaged (even though I haven’t dyed it since January) the damage from previous numerous treatments is still there. So I think I am ready to […]
Clarins 3 Dot Liner – Haven’t we seen you somewhere before!? Oh yes, in Asia
I was gazing at Twitter, sort of in a daydreaming kind of way when I skim read my timeline at work when I noticed several bloggers talking about a ‘3 dot eyeliner’ by Clarins (due to be released in September 2012). 3 Dot Liner? I was intrigued I must admit as a huge lover of […]
The Suqqu Gankin Face Massage at Selfridges Exchange Square!
One treatment I have been meaning to try forever but haven’t had a chance to is the Suqqu Gankin face massage. The massage is supposed to be quite hard – to the point where some have told me it can be uncomfortable especially around the jaw but then after – boom! You look brighter, tighter […]
A little hello from me…
Hello Readers! I got back from my Honeymoon on Sunday and we’ve not had a second to breathe really, what with going back to work straight away and having so many odds and ends to sort out so I still have lots to do. To make things worse, Yuki Kitty is not feeling too good […]
I Love Lash by Teresa Smith – Lash Extension Treatment Review!
Regular readers will know that I have tried various lash extension treatments in the past so I am bit of a veteran at this kind of thing! My overall pros and cons can be seen here and I would say that the finish you get completely depends on the skill of your lash tech. For me, […]
Waterless Cleansing: Bioderma Crealine Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution Cleanser Review
I mentioned before that life got really really really hectic this year, and there was a period when I was moving too (not so long ago) that I was literally living out of a suitcase…well, out of a Primark shopping bag with minimal beauty products. In this time, my skin actually – amazingly – settled […]
Mini Haul: Top Shop Make Up, Sisters of the New Moon, Nail Polish and Cream Blush!
I never really shopped much in Top Shop but the last few weeks I’ve found them really useful for comfy clothes and bought some of my holiday essentials from there. I also have a new admiration for the make up! I do quite like it, especially their polishes (I am currently wearing a Essie polish […]
Honeymoon!
Hallo lovelies, Last week me & Mr C got married and this week we are on our honeymoon – hello sun AND for the first time this year, a proper good rest! As I am writing this, I am last minute packing (where are my clean underpants!!!)…as we didn’t get married in our home town […]
E45 Body Moisturisers: Nourish & Restore, Silky Radiance, Touchably Smooth Review
Everyone has heard of good old E45 cream, the plain super moisturising thick cream for all kinds of sensitive skin; I have many a time complained about a skin ailment only to be told ‘Have you tried E45 for that?’. Anyway, the E45 range is actually quite large and there are shampoos and body lotions […]
The Body Shop launches a All in One BB Cream!
Another day, another brand launches a BB cream… I don’t know why I feel kinda hopeful about this one. The Body Shop’s All in One BB Cream contains ‘pigment filled capsules that burst when applied to the skin’. It comes in 3 tones, light, medium and dark, and is supposed to provide 24 hour hydration […]
Clarins Gift With Purchase July 2012 at House of Fraser!
Just a quick note to say I picked up some bits and pieces from the Clarins counter in Kendals, House of Fraser yesterday and got some really good gift with purchase goodies! I wanted to get the Lash Fix anyway (which is a clear gel and makes a mascara extra waterproof), and ended up also […]
Wedding Countdown: What Beauty Routine do you have pre-wedding?
It’s not long now until my wedding day and I’ve suddenly realised that I have been spending all my time organising others and of course formalising arrangements and haven’t really thought about myself (I am picking up my adjusted wedding dress TWO days before the day so it better fit!). Then I suddenly realised; […]
