Yes, it's that time.  The time when I start to look online for inspiration for summer clothing.  I don't know why, as I am skint and should be saving.  Plus I can't buy any more clothes until I get back down in weight so it's naughty of me really! But it is sooo tempting.  I thought I would share my favourites with you anyway so you could feel tempted too... Let me know which you like best too - I love a bit of online window...
The term "FOTD" is used loosely here. The purpose of this post is to demonstrate how some products really can make your skin look fabulous. My hair is scraped back and unstraightened. I have no eye makeup on and haven't even coloured in the eyebrows. So for me this is really really bare faced. I would never let people normally see me like this! However, sometimes it's good to come clean and show you things like how straight my eyelashes really...

Like with foundation, when it comes to moisturiser I am constantly on the look out for something better.  So when I was in Tesco last week I couldn't resist giving this a try when it was reduced from £7 to £4.67. The cream is said to have anti ageing properties with SPF 10 and is said to be good for all skin types. You can wear it alone or under foundation.  I personally opt for the latter. You can see that there is an almost...

Just stumbled across these pictures of the L'oreal Studio Secrets Lip Glow from last year which I had intended to review for my blog.  Does anyone actually use these?  I remember really wanting the Clarins version in 2010 and never getting around to purchasing it and this seemed like another option in 2011. I'll be honest with you.  I never ever use this.  Do any of you? I purchased it because I wanted to try it and...

Just before Christmas I purchased some new MAC lipsticks for all the parties etc.  I asked for a creamy muted red shade and don't believe that I came away with that colour I had in mind but my description obviously wasn't that great.  And despite that, I did like these colours when I gave them a quick swatch with the MUA. The top colour, Cosmo, I like. I think it is a good colour for mixing and will look nice for lots of different occasions....
Yay! My beauty box arrived in the post yesterday. Had chance to do a quick scan before bed last night and here's what's included. This month is totally about skin care in some ways it's not as exciting as some of the items I've seen before. I like a good mix and don't necessarily feel this is that, but I'm still keen to try everything out and for that reason it's probably a more useful box for me! I'm most excited to try the Phyto conditioner...

The search for that perfect foundation, which suits your skin perfectly, is a tough one.  Most of us will never truly reach the point where we believe we have found the true holy grail foundation. Don't get me wrong.  There are times when you feel you may be close, but the promise of something better on the market will usually get in the way. Which leads me on to today's topic.  Another foundation review for your consideration.  ...

I don't know about you but this time of year tends to come with a feeling of guilt, sometimes motivation and usually realisation. For me I'm particularly feeling the latter. Motivation and guilt not so much, but realisation yes. I'm 25, heavier, unfit and stuck in a rut of bad eating habits. I blame my job with the hours and commute and general lifestyle. Fluttering from one place to the next and often just going home to sleep. So I've decided...

Hey ladies, It's almost bed time for me and I haven't quite got back into the routine of work so I need to get my sleep. Despite desperately wanting to do other things.  Why is it that inspiration always occurs late at night!?  Happens to me all the time. Anyway, I went a bit candle mad today so I am off to sleep to the scent of berry tea lights.  Ikea specials for £1 something!  True bargain. I'll leave you with the image...

Hey lovelies!! How are you?  Hope you are side-stepping the depression that often ensues with this time of year! As many of you will know - it has been ages since I have done a FOTD post.  I used to do them quite a lot and really enjoy them, but these days I never have the time (poor me!).  So I thought I would try and get back into the swing of things with a simple natural FOTD picture to start 2012. I don't know about you but...
