Coral

I have a confession, I am in LOVE! Not with another human being...with a lipstick.
I've never been a lipstick kind of girl, im usually a lipgloss/vasaline/tinted lipbalm lover. However I saw the most beautiful colour lipstick in Boots and it really was love at first sight.

Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick £7.19 (Boots)

It is the colour that I have on in my profile picture for my blog. It is such a bright and vibrant colour- perfect for summer.

From now on I think that I will definetly no dismiss lipsticks as I used to as they last a lot longer than lipgloss and can really make a difference to your whole make up look!

Which Lipsticks do you think I should try next?

Dancing in the rain

Its July. It's pouring rain. What better way to cheer yourself up than go shopping?
Now I don't know about you but I love Wellies. So as they are practical for the weather we have right now and are sometimes quite stylish I thought that today's blog should be dedicated to Wellingtons!


Prices:  From top left: Hunter Original Brit Wellington (from Asos) £87, Joules Wellyprint Womans Wellies £36.95, Seasalt Daisy Print Tall Wellies £17.50.

Now for a Royal seal of Wellington Boot Approval look no further than the Duchess of Cambridge. We all know what Kate wears instantly becomes a sell out. Le Chameau Vierzonard £300 Wellies are the what the Duchess graces her feet with. Apparently due to Kate 'being seen' in these boots there has been a massive increase in sales (hardly a surprise).

Although Kate looks great in her expensive Wellies, I could not justify spending that much money on a pair of boots. I think I will just stick to my Hunters!



Would you spend £300 on Wellies?

classic No 7

I often get tired, puffy eyes and unfortunately suffer from dark circles.
So by luck I came across No7 Awakening Eye Gel. The Gel is Hypo-allergenic, Fragrance Free and perfect for sensitive skin.

  After a long 12 hour shift at work I love nothing more than having a nice hot bath and then applying the cooling Eye Gel to my eyes.


The product is like a serum and isn't greasy or sticky (which I hate), therefore you can pop it under your foundation in the mornings after a late night.










  To apply No7 Awakening Eye Gel you 'dot' it around the contours of your eyes and then gently pat it in. You only get 15mls in a tube but thankfully Boots No7 have made the end of the tube small so only small 'dots' of the product come out at a time.

I only came across this product as it was in a Boots offer around Mothers day; and as I was buying some products for my Mum, I thought i would treat myself in the process!




Do you like No7 or are there any other Eye Gels that you would recommend?

Vanilla Moon

treaclemoon is the most amazing bath and shower cream I have ever tried. First of all the smell is divine... you can pick from scents such as one ginger morning, the raspberry kiss and my personal favourite which is that vanilla moment! It's almost so good that I could eat it (but don't worry I won't)!

Then there is the packaging, like a lot of people I am a sucker for cute packaging. Each bottle of treaclemoon has a little story type thing on the front and the colour of the product inside is so bright, I would quite like the that vanilla moment colour in a nail polish!



Price wise treaclemoon is affordable at only £3.03 a pop and they last for ages. I think that the brand is quite similar to Philosophy but just a fraction of the price.

Another great thing about these lovely products is that they do not test on animals and are 100% suitable for use by vegetarians as they also do not contain any animal derived ingredients.
If all of that wasn't good enough treaclemoon also supports a great charity called Khandel Light which aims to helps disadvantaged children and families in the Khandel and the Villages that surround it in Rajasthan, India. Such a brilliant cause, visit www.treaclemoon.net to find out more.

Not only do treaclemoon do bath and shower gel, but also scrubs and body butters all with the divine smell, packaging and price.

As a little treat I will send a a 500ml bottle of 'that vanilla moment' by treaclemoon to the first person who comments on this post.

In the meantime if you haven't tried treaclemoon yet get yourself to Tesco or /www.treaclemoon.net to try some!

Wednesday in May

I thought that seeing as how this is my first blog post I would show you a few things that I am going to buy on payday- which is wierdly the 14th ... I know who gets paid the 14th of each month!

Okay so first of all I'm looking for a new dress. Something that I can wear during the day and maybe dress up a little on nights out! I think I have found it...



This picture is from Dorothy Perkins Blog. I love this outfit and could imagine wearing it to a summer wedding or Garden Party. Pretty Pink Bird Dress (£45), Cream Seedbead Plait Bracelet (£8.50) and Cream Split Platforms (£50.00). All are from Olivia Rubin at Dorothy Perkins.

I love it when designers collaborate with a high street store to make an affordable collection!

Now living in the middle of nowhere, I would 'stand out like a saw thumb' if I were to wear heels all day, everyday. Therefore, I like to dress casually. One of my favourite shops that sell nice but comfy clothes is Seasalt.

I really like this Knitted top. It will go really well with skinny jeans and pumps for a casual comfy look! The clothes that Seasalt sell are all really good quality and well made. This top is 100% Cotton.



I have the day off of work tommorow so I may go shopping. I'm looking for a new nail polish...something bright and summery. Unfortunatly I work in Healthcare so can only wear it on my toes/days off!

What are you going to buy on Payday?
