Matalan Sale!

The amount i'm banging on about Matalan recently I should apply for a job in the marketing and advertising! 
But having popped in on a whim recently I spotted a LBD. 

I left without buying it and it was on my mind everyday, so I went back.. I'm so glad I did.

This beauty was £35 and is now down to £9! - the material is lovely with a thick feeling and a damn good lining inside. The capped sleeves are helpful to those of us who are exactly thrilled with their arms and the cut of this will help you fake an hour glass figure if you haven't got one. Perfect! 

I also love the fact you can style this up down and make it suit so many occasions, personally I've taken the necklace off to add my own, but you could add a belt, a scarf or just an amazing handbag.. *dreams of a mulberry*

I urge you to pick up this wardrobe must!
Quick!

ELF Sale.

As I've mentioned in a previous post, ELF Cosmetics are a bargain, quality make up brand so the thought they're having a sale.. are they giving the stuff away?! 

I thought I'd let you know what I've got my beady eye on!

First up is the little black festive book in glam holiday, this was £8.00 and is now £4.00 which works out 0.08p per eye shadow.. unbelievable! 
I think the colours in this palette are so versatile for day or night and any occasion. If you're a little wary of daring colours this is the one for you, just a hint here and there as you build your confidence. 


A tinted moisturizer - I can't believe the price of this! 75p! It's had really good reviews on the website and you could get one for winter and one for the summer at this price. Particularly good if you're trying to give your skin a little breather from heavy make up. 

And finally, something out of the sale but an amazing price 


How amazing is this colour? It's called fearless! and you're going to be looking it rocking this lipstick. It's £1.50 at full price, incredible. Also, I just love the packaging. 


All in all I've spent £6.25 - what a bargain.

ELF - you've certainly impressed me!

Candle love affair.

Hello Lovelies! 

Now most of us have a love affair with scented candles, I'm forever buying a pack and smelling my house out with my latest find. 

You'll also know I have a love of Jo Malone.. the two combined is heaven!

But no! I have not bought one of Jo Malone's candles, although they are a dream; the price puts me off completely and utterly. 

(matalan.co.uk)

Enter Matalan's answer to all my problems! Here is their large pomegranate and amber glass candle.. oh Wow!
It smells so much like my Jo Malone perfume I could cry as the price of this bad boy is (drum roll please?)
£10!

I can't stress how much you need to buy this the bluebell and peony or the orange flower and mandarin. I will for one be finding it hard to resist buying them all.

Real Techniques expert face brush.

Yello!

If you haven't heard of the real techniques brushes, where have you been? These are huge in the beauty world at the moment. 

(superdrug.com)


I was bought the expert face brush for my birthday and have literally forgotten my previous foundation brush. I absolutely love the way it glides my make up onto my face. They are a reasonable price, particularly if you pick up a pack. Keep an eye out for an offer in boots or superdrug! 

I'm on the look out to buy some more, I've heard so many good things about these, it's worth the investment.

I said I'd let you know!

Hello everyone!

A few posts ago I said I'd let you know about a few products I've been trying out recently, so first up is;


(JohnLewis.com)


The Laura Mercier bronzer (in the colour Dune Bronze.) This brand is fast becoming a hot favourite of mine, the packaging is a sophisticated purpley mauve number. It's a matte blend, that glides on and can easily add so much definition to your make up. I seriously love it. It's a handy size to fit in your handbag for a touch up on those cheek lines! 
This bronzer is on the slightly higher price level of £26 but it'll last you forever. 

I can't tell you how much I recommend sampling the Laura Mercier products, you'll definitely find something you love. 

I love you, Laura!

Lipsy - glam


Hello!

I love the handbag size perfume samples! And recently got one from Lipsy's range. They're such a good way of finding a new scent, saves money making sure you definitely like it! 

My new find is the Glam perfume from the lipsy range. 

(Boots.com)


What a nice bottle! I'd say this is an everyday perfume for me, it's a strong scent and quite floral. I definitely suggest you have a sniff! 

Particularly as boots have an offer of 30ml for £12 at the moment.

New year!

Happy new year to you! 

This year as with every year I'm making resolutions - that I hope to keep. I'm not going to list them all here but one I have decided is read more! 

I'm always feeling I need to for various reasons, relaxing, discussion, education and so on. 

I started nice and lightly with Debby Holt's 

Ex wife's survival guide, it's nice and light reading and I would very much recommend if this festive period has worn you out! 

I'm now on George Elliot's 1984!
