A few random buys and a Little LUSH

Just a few random buys this week :
Winterish clothes from H & M

I have decided i like grey so 1 long sleeved t shirt, 1 thin jumper and 1 cape should do for now.


Then i managed to get 2 foundation samples.
Mac Pro longwear & Laura Mercier moisturising foundation.

 I have wanting to try these two for so long and will be reviewing soon. Well i say soon as my 2 year old has decided that he likes my mac sample and has hid it. The search is on, it could literally be anywhere ha.

Then i popped into lush as i fancied a bit of pampering so i purchased some gorgeous bath goodies:

 Think Pink bath ballistic, Cinders Bath ballistic, Mrs Whppy Bath ballistic & Creamy Candy Bubble bar. I have not tried any of these before but each and everyone smell amazing.

 This is how i store my bath goodies. I always kept them hidden away in drawers in sealed packets but recently decided to put them out displayed on a wooden chopping board. That way i can just grab whatever i 
 fancy and it pretties up the bathroom. I will get through this little lot in about 2 weeks so they are not sitting around for ages.
Whenever i walk into my bathroom i get a lovely whiff of sweet smelling products.
Other products here are Parma violet sugar scrub cubes, Lemon cake butter melts, Strawberry and vanilla bath bomb and blackcurrant and vanilla body butter bar.
I love to buy bath and body products from these two amazing sites Lady Mucks & Bare & Beautiful

Ooh and the Blackcurrant and vanilla body butter bar from lady mucks costs just £2.99 and it is utterly gorgeous,  the fragrance is delicate but delicious and it is so moisturising. If you are looking for a little pick me up treat then this is for you. Has to be in my top 5 bath & body products.

Do you buy your bath & body products from anywhere special?

2nd chance Sleek Saloon

Just a quickly to say that i have changed my opinion on Sleek Rose Gold. I have found that by simply using a different blusher brush and a different base that it now shows up beautifully and i adore the colour. SLEEK i take it all back xx

Transformulas LipVolume & Eyelifting Gel ( photo heavy )

Hi there ladies, a while back i told you i was testing out Transformulas LipVolume & Eyelifting gel. I feel like it's time to tell you my thoughts and see what you think?

 The LipVolume comes in a cute little box which opens up to reveal the product. The LipVolume comes with a wand like a classic lip gloss containing 10ml of potion.

 Th instructions are to apply 3 times a day for the 1st 30 days then once a day after that. You can also use the product over lipstick.

 My lips before product was applied above:

 My lips 5 Min's after product was applied above:
This stuff does work and you can feel the tingling on your lips for a good 15 Min's which is a lot longer than other lip plumpers which i have tried.
I have to admit that i have not been able to apply this 3 times a day for the simple reason that i kept forgetting (ooops) but i am pleased with the results when i do use it. I also like the fact that my own lips turn a lovely raspberry pink colour when i wear this on its own.
Available from Transformulas RRP £25,50

Have you girls tried any or many of the lip plumper's that are around? I wish i was blessed with naturally pouty lips but unfortunately I'm not so any helping hand without going under the knife has to be a positive thing. 

Next up i trialed the Eye lifting Gel.

 Again this came in the cute box packaging which opens up to reveal the same wand like applicator as the LipVolume. Containing 10ml of product. This little Eye lifting gel has been described as 'Eyelift in a tube'

 Now to be fair, i don't think that I'm the best model for a product like this just for the simple fact that although I'm 35 i don't have many lines around my eyes. ( Not bragging just being honest ) What i can say though is the product is very light it's non irritating to my sensitive skin.
My eyes feel really hydrated and uplifted after using this gel for a few weeks and the few lines i did have seem to have plumped up and have become a lot finer. Also there is less puffiness so all in all a great result.

My eye today after a few weeks of using twice a day.
Product claims that the revolutionary semi permanent treatment came from a fear of needles and has been designed to soften fine lines, reduce expression lines, diminish under eye puffiness, cool, calm, and add radiance to the eye area.
Available from Transformulas RRP £25.50

I believe in Angels.

Morning girls, brrrrr it's turned so cold here, i hate being cold. Luckily for me my other half got up early for work and made up the log fire in the lounge and popped the heating on so it was lovely and toasty when me & the kids surfaced.
All this cold weather has made me start to think about xmas. I haven't even started to get organised as I've been concentrating on getting bits and bobs for the house. My newest addition is a picture which i have had painted in the colours to fit in with my lounge. I adore it.

 The angel wings have lots of texture and glitter which is really hard to pick up on camera but it's really pretty.

Then i found these cushions which i think are cute and match perfectly. These were a bargain from ebay.

So from now until xmas i will be leaving the house and getting organised for xmas. I am thinking of getting a real tree this year and going for more traditional decorations. I don't really know where to start?

I remember as i child i loved to dress the xmas tree with my mum, i want my kids to have that same magical feeling with the twinkling fairy lights, snowmen, Santa's and tinsel.

Look how adorable this little Santa is. I am on a bit of a budget so will be scouring the shops and looking for ideas. Any blog recommendations for the festive period? What about you guys are you going traditional or modern?
