The Only Way Is Keeping Busy

Once again missing LFW, which I'm a tad gutted about but I'm not that down and out about it. Instead I have been busy with my kids, finally spending time with Corbie again (my 2 yr old) and sniffing the hell out of Logan that newborn freshness ....

Kid's grow up so quick, so I'm not going to worry about other things I need to embrace this time with them. Logan is a month old now and a little lump, his too cute and Corbie is finally excepting him more. It's really nice seeing him kiss Logan on the head, I hope as they grow up they will be close. Awww LFW ... It's been great seeing others bloggers enjoying it and peoples tweets etc, I think I will be at the next one. Everyone seems a bit flat about it this year, which I can understand there is so much going on that it's hard to believe anyone has any money to buy high fashion. 

I have been really good beauty buying wise, I saved vouchers from Christmas and my birthday so not been spending heaps. I'm actually thinking of setting myself on a ban for March (I will post more about it on the 1st March, maybe you could join me). I think being home more has made me realise, that I really have a mega truck load of well.. EVERYTHING! 

I really want to go clothing shopping and that, but I have to clear out things first. I said ages ago I would, but I lie! I have to this time, not for me but for my kids I don't want to be one of those people who's found died after a month under a pile of stuff. So I need to change my ways now, before I'm that old lady on the news buried under a pile of Elle magazines and a heap of Primark stuff. So as I can't do loads of outfit posts at the moment, I will keep updating my Youtube and found other things to post about. I have some great outfits I'm craving to show you, I will have to try and get some on the weekend.

Mini Beauty Haul

Tesco had some deals on a lot of their beauty and body products, so I snapped them up we seem to go through shower wash etc like crazy maybe my boyfriend Barry is eating it who knows. I know Asda do the N-Spa ( Makeup Savvy Fee has written all about them here), well Tesco do treacle moon, both have that philosophy look and actual have a nice smell like the philosophy products too without the huge price tag. I love these three bath and shower gels, I have had them before and I was lucky enough to scoop these up for £1.99 each!

Lemonade Days - This is great first thing in the morning, it's a refreshing wash and great for making you feel clean and fresh. If your a gym bunny I would say this would be great, as after a sweaty workout it would leave you feeling fresh.

Ginger Morning - I actual prefer at night, it's got a warm cosy smell and I usual use it when in need of relaxing and if I have had a long busy day.

Raspberry Kiss - This has such an amazing smell, very fruity and girly I use this one the most and I would say it would be great just before a night out or date. Barry liked this smell on me, as it's really sweet and girly.

They leave your skin soft and don't dry it out, with a lot of supermarket body wash they tend to leave my skin a little parched. Tesco have changed the deal now, so they are back to £2.99 which to me is still great. I also got the pomegranate secret, which I have not tried yet but it smells amazing. They also have a range called ' Along Came Betty' which has a Soap & Glory feel to it, again it's a bit cheaper I adore the retro look packaging so I picked up Clean around the clock body wash £2.99. They also do scrubs, a body butter and a mitt I really like this range it's not as good as Soap and Glory I have to say (I'm a huge S&G fan), but it's still nice. So yeah I won't need any body wash any time soon!

Lastly was the Vaseline Lips tin, a huge tin with four of the Vaseline lip balms in Rosy lip, aloe vera, original and cocoa butter. I think it was the huge tin that sold it to me, it's so cool and I saw them ages ago on someones blog but couldn't get one anywhere. Plus I love just keeping them in my different bags, knowing that I always have some balm on me. In winter my lips are a nightmare so it's a must have, out of the four I adore the rosy lip the most. I paid £6 for this, than noticed it went down to £4! Anyway like I said I was happy to just get one, I'm using the tin to store other bits in.

Not sure if they just bring these out for Christmas, but I love them if I see them I'm going to buy same for friends as I think they are so cool. Who doesn't like feeling like the borrows with a giant tin, don't know if you remember that show but I loved it!

One Haul Too Many

Hello my lovely followers sorry I have not posted lately, my mother was taken in to hospital and I have been trying to sort out everything and run around after little one. Hello to new followers, I need to catch up with blogs and that, so please bare with me. So this is one of my hauls from Sept/Oct I have a lot, I have been bad and buying stuff ....it has taken my mind off things to be honest.


Plus stocking up on winter makeup and skin care is a must. So I will go through everything and I will be doing reviews too, as I went to Lush and got a heap of stuff and on Twitter I was lucky enough to win the Eyeko/Clippy competition (worth £80). So I will post pictures and review the products, outfits will be hard to post, as my mother took my photos :(
Anyway ..................

So I got Lush Eau Rose Water toner, as it sprays on and is really refreshing. As the heating is sucking every drop of moisture, out of my skin the rose water is great for dry skin and is great if you are sensitive. I also like to spray it into my scalp, because you it is re-leaving plus smells amazing. They have three to chose from so check them out.


I also got Clean and clear dual action moisturiser, as I have had spot's pretty much all the time. It's crap because I', almost in my thirty's and getting spots is meant to be a teenage thing ! So I hate the smell of this, but it is great for shrinking pimps and not drying out your face like a cornflake. I apply during the day as I think at night you need a thick cream, this is light and you can easily apply makeup over it. Aloe vera gel, which as anyone knows who is into skin products natural healing. This is a gel, so I smooth a thin layer on to my skin every other night and give my face a wash in the morning as it rolls off (not good under makeup).

 My mother got me the mirror which has a hologram front so cute. I also got this Primark snake ring and these three nail varnishes, I love the red ones, one is call baked cherry and it is the best red ever. If you want to know the names just let me know, I will be doing a review with nail photos too.I got some much needed foundation, I am in love with Rimmel as it does the best shade of ivory. It actual matches my skin ! Lasting finish is the best one and stay matt I usual wear on a night out, because it's matte it's great for stay put makeup in clubs etc ....

This was some of the Lush haul, again I will do a product review for everything I got. I worked for Lush for four years so I can tell you a lot, but they do have some new stuff that I had not tried. I would say get the new snow fairy lip balm, it smells just like the shower gel (for those who have never tried the shower gel, its like candy bubblegum smelling). So yeah I will post the review soon.

All items from : H&M

I went to H&M and got a heap of stuff, I just love my Betty Boo brush which only cost a mere £1:99. I got some nail varnishes, one in a chocolate colour (very hot right now)and the other is a hello kitty glitter purple. I also am addicted to my £1:99 lip balm that comes in this cute flower case, they have different colours to chose from. I got the Hello Kitty makeup palette which was crap, the glitter is just on the top and it does not stay on the eyes for long. I hope the hello kitty nail varnish is better, I will let you know if it is poo. 


I also got this funky ring and this ring necklace, I love this necklace as it go's with everything. I have no worn the ring yet, as I forgot I had it (I have a heap of rings). I needed a new makeup bag, as my makeup stash is covering every surface of the house. Makeup in the oven is never good, so this is perfect it is really big, I love the design and it has pockets inside ....for £3:99 you can't go wrong.

 Flats: Topshop

Lastly here are my fab Topshop shoes, they come in grey or black I went for the black. I love the mesh fabric and the flower at the front, they feel very chanel and they cost £20 ...I have not taken they off my feet I did have to get the next size up as their flats come up a bit tight. So try them on !
