The New Year's Eve Lip Edit

With just one more day of 2015 left and party plans for NYE very much being made, I thought I'd share my top lipstick picks for seeing in the New Year in style, whatever your party plans may be.

The Sales Edit

If you saw my sale tips post the other day, you will have seen that I'd reverted to online sale shopping following a hectic Boxing Day spent at Lakeside. I have to admit there are some great online bargains to be had, not just beauty related but some great fashion bargains too and here's my pick of some of the great deals I've seen.

Sale Tips

In retrospect I maybe should have spent yesterday lounging around in my pjs, watching Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr Fox while I nursed my food baby, but instead I piled into the car with my family and headed down to Lakeside for a spot of Boxing Day sale shopping. I'm not going to lie, it was manic and when it all got a bit too busy we retreated home; I think I'll do the rest of my sale shopping online. For those of you braving those busy high streets and shopping centres, I thought I'd share my top sales tips to hopefully make the sales a little less stressful and more about bagging your perfect bargain. 

Merry Christmas!

I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful Christmas however you may be celebrating and to say a huge thank you to everyone who reads and visits my blog, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest and thank you for all the kind and lovely comments you've left me. Your support means so much to me and I'm very thankful for all the amazing blog related experiences I've had and the people I've had a chance to meet or interact with along the way!

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas with family, friends and all loved ones!

Lots of love

Last Minute Christmas Gift Guide

No matter how organised I am with my Christmas shopping and this year I did quite a bit in November which for me is pretty organised, I always find there are a fair few things that need to be bought still in December. With Christmas less than a week away and this being the last weekend before Christmas, I thought I'd share my top present picks to help with any last minute gifts.

Review: Bobbi Brown Full Coverage Face & Touch Up Brush

The Bobbi Brown Full Coverage Face & Touch Up Brush was released in November and has been an instant success! This double ended brush combines the Full Coverage Face brush with the Full Coverage Touch Up Brush and it's the perfect brush for all your foundation and concealer application needs.

OM Yoga Zen Productivity

I know at this time of year a lot of us are hurtling around at a 100mph with long to do lists to complete as Christmas is just around the corner and there are a number of things that need to be tied up before the Christmas break or before the end of the year. I know that is very much the case for me, as I seem to have a crazy long to do list. Sometimes I just don't know where to start or I try to tackle too much at once and then feel frustrated that I'm not crossing off as much as I'd like from my mammoth list. I came across the Zen Productivity article in the December issue of OM Yoga on my daily commute and it has really helped me tackle that overwhelming feeling of a never ending task list!  

House of Fraser Christmas Inspiration

A little while ago I was invited along to the House of Fraser Christmas preview, which this year is shaking things up a bit with their 'Your Christmas, Your Rules' campaign. At the time Christmas did feel a little far off and wasn't fully on my radar yet, but now I can't believe it's less than two weeks away! By now, I'm sure most of you are on track with all your Christmas shopping. I've done most of mine but I must admit I'm a little stuck for inspiration for a couple of people and I know there are many of you in a similar boat to me. So to help us all out, I thought I would share a little Christmas inspiration.......

Mini Lush Haul

Last week I merrily headed down to the huge Lush store on London's Oxford Street for the first time. I was a girl on a mission, in search of The Melting Snowman; my favourite from the Lush Christmas range for the last two years. 

Handmade Beauty Advent Calendar

It's no secret that I've been seriously lusting over beauty advent calendars this year, the Charlotte Tilbury & Liberty ones especially grabbing my attention! Believe me I was very, very tempted to cave & get one but I just couldn't quite justify the spend & then I had an idea......why not make my very own beauty advent calendar?.........and well here it is!....
