My bedroom wish list...

I have had my bedroom furniture for a few years now, and am getting the itch to replace it! I already have a black Malm bed from Ikea, and a black ottoman, which I don't really want to get rid of, so at first I thought of getting black furniture to match. However, our bedroom isn't the largest, and too much black can make a space seem a lot smaller, SO I have decided to embrace the monochrome theme by mixing some black and white furniture.

Winter Trends: The Camel Coat

A/W fashion has been having some great moments in 2014/15 but I think my absolute favourite trend is the camel coat revival. A coat that is glamorous, elegant and yet warm and practical - the camel coat wheedled it's way into my heart and is here to stay. 

High Coverage Heroes - Revlon Colorstay and Vichy Dermablend

After having the flu over the Christmas period (joyous), my skin was terrible. Whenever I am ill, my skin seems to reflect what's happening on the inside, and I tend to get blemishes everywhere, along with dull and tired looking skin. Because of this, whilst I am waiting for the blemishes to clear up, I tend to use a higher coverage foundation than I normally would. Usually I favour lighter coverage, perhaps with some concealer in places where I really need it, but when my face is not looking it's best, that just isn't going to cut it.

Kylie Jenner's (In)Famous Pout

So I know this is probably jumping on the bandwagon, and as with all things in life, I am probably a little late, but...consider this a hop skip and a leap right onto that wagon! I have been a bit of a closet (or should that be Kloset?!) Kardashian fan for a little while now....they are my guilty pleasure. I know, but I just can't help it! And, as well as the original Kim, Kourtney and, my personal fave, Khloe (the SASS! <3), I have been loving the Kendall/Kylie Jenner duo of late...

Lipstick Queen - crowning glory!

As I have mentioned here before in my MUA Lip Lacquer post, I am a lip product junkie. I have a huge container on my dressing table which is overflowing with lip products. It's a problem. But still, a couple more can't hurt, right?! Right. So, every year, my group of friends and I do Secret Santa - as there are 8 of us, it's a good way of keeping the cost of Christmas down and still giving (and receiving!) a really nice gift. This year my lovely Secret Santa - you know who you are, you beaut! - hit the nail on the head, and I was super excited when I opened this lovely lip trio from Lipstick Queen. I had heard and seen a little of this brand before, but getting these prompted me to do a little research.

Real Techniques - Bold Metals Collection

Hello everybody, and welcome to 2015! I hope you have had an absolutely cracking Christmas and New Year. I have had a few days away from the internet to spend time with my family and friends, but now I am back, and I wanted to post today because something exciting has been happening whilst I have been stuffing my face full of turkey, chocolate and amaretto over Christmas!

Festive Make Up Ideas

Christmas is coming - and with it comes the onslaught of Christmas Parties! Work drinks, office parties, family get-togethers and nights out with friends...the festivities are endless! So I thought I would throw together a little something to try and help with the make up side of things. 

It's Haul Time!

Visits to Superdrug and Boots always seem to end up with me picking up an item or two, or at least walking out with my hands covered in swatches of things! Last week I picked up a few things and thought I would do a quick post about them.

MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquers

Ok I admit it - I have a bit of a thing for lip products...I just can't help it!  I think that changing your lip colour up is an easy way to keep your makeup looks from becoming too samey and boring. Plus it's a great way of looking polished when you don't have much time to spend on blending eyeshadows for that flawless smoky eye - you can just throw on a lip colour and you're good to go!

I have far too many lip products, but can never resist a shiny new one. Or in this case, a not so shiny one! I really like a matt lip - I think they are a fresh and modern take on bright colours, and make it easier (well, less scary!) to wear bright colours during the day. 

Home is where the heart is...

A bit of a change from the normal makeup posts today - but I picked up a few things for the house and thought I would share, in case any of you are interested! Personally, I love a good nosy around home stores at the weekend, planning out my dream home and maybe occasionally picking up a couple of pieces here and there, and I enjoy seeing what other people have in their homes - it gives me some inspiration!
