Easter Beauty Swap

Not so long ago Chloe contacted me and asked if I’d like to take part in an Easter beauty swap that she was running. Of course I said yes, agreed to the budget of £10 and was paired with the lovely Beki. We exchanged a few emails about the products we liked and disliked as well as pottering around each others blogs to get an idea of what the other blogger would like. Then a few weeks ago I received an exciting package in the post full of lots of lovely bits and bobs that Beki had very generously picked out for me.

 

The first things she sent me were the Montagne Jeunesse face masks which are perfect for oily skin; I’ve already used both of them! Beki also gave me the Sinful Colour’s nail polish in Island coral, a Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick and the Rimmel Stay Blushed in 004 which are ideal for spring. Next, I received the Collection Work the Colour Nude eye palette and Rimmel Scandaleyes pencil in Bluffing. Both of these look really pretty blended together to create a subtle smoky eye.

 

 

Beki put so much thought into this box so I’d just like to thank her again!

Fairylights.

There's nothing (well there are a few things) I like more than curling up with a book, hot chocolate (yes, I know it's April) and my cat. In these lazy evenings I also like to light a scented candle (feeling like a real blogger here) and flick on the fairy lights. The ones pictured above are from Primark Home and just add a little somethin' somethin' to my room. 

I'm in the midst of sorting out my dressing table at the moment and some little flower lights will look pretty hanging around the mirror, especially in the evenings. Also, when I was little I used to have some fairy lights around the headboard of my bed which I switched on when my dad read me Harry Potter, so they always remind me of that.

The Best of March

Hello, me again! Today I thought I'd share some of my favourite beauty products and random musings from the month of March. This month I seem to have rediscovered some old faves in terms of beauty products and have fallen in love with a TV show or two...

 

The Bourjois Colour Boosts were a big hit last summer with blogger after blogger talking about them, and although there have been many new releases since then, these two in Peach on the Beach and Red Sunrise (currently reduced on The Hut) are perfect for Spring. Another old favourite of mine is the Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara which is perfect for a 'no makeup' makeup look.

 

The Topshop Cream Blush in Flush is an everyday staple of mine and it's glowy finish is perfect for Spring. I like to use the Real Techniques Stippling Brush to apply this so that I don't look like I've just been for a run! Another Real Techniques favourite of mine is the Buffing Brush which works like a dream with liquid foundation.

 

Moving on to some random favourites, it's Mini Egg season which delights me no end! Sherlock will be mentioned is as many blog posts as possible (that is deemed sane) and although I've talked about it quite a few times this year I thought another little mention couldn't do any harm. I've also been watching the Vampire Diaries for the past few months and have one thing to say to you all. Damon Salvatore.

 

What bits and bobs have you been loving this March?
