Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Colour in Pink Buff









A perfect 'Your lips but better' lipstick. 

This lipstick was a a naughty impulse buy from the amazing 'Cosmetic Company' Store. If your not familiar with the store get down to year nearest Designer Outlet shopping centre ASAP. 'The Cosmetic Company' house is a discount store full of products from a selection of high end make up and skin care brands such as Mac, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Ojon and Origins. It is the Beauty Bloggers holy grail. The products usually available are end of line products or shades that don't sell particularly well, which is great for girls with pale skin tones like me!

Having a lipstick addiction I instantly gravitated towards them. I my regular readers will know I love Bobbi Brown, their make up just suits my skin type and are perfect matches for my skin tone. 
I just saw the lipstick and thought 'yes' I needed it, no swatching necessary. 

'Creamy Lip Colour' is 100% correct, it is the most luxurious feeling lipstick I have ever tried, so nourishing and soft in a lovely natural peachy pink colour with a gorgeous sheen. It is so natural looking you don't need a mirror to apply it which is perfect for the day time and is a fantastic colour for when your going for a natural but polished look.

Have you tried the Creamy Lip Colours from Bobbi Brown? Will you be running down to your closest Cosmetic Company Store?

How I Store My Make Up







 I was so excited when I came across these drawer dividers in Home Bargains. I had been searching all kinds of stores from B&Q to Muji for something that was adjustable and that I could put together myself. 

For £2.99 for 3 strips of dividers which you can snap to the length you want and little slits so that they lock together, they are an amazing deal. 

The main drawer in my dressing table had all my make up thrown in, so organising it all made me very excited indeed!  The end result now looks like this, every thing now has a place and when sections are full there is a one in, one out policy to help me control my spending. 

I recently brought some more dividers to separate my underwear inspired by Mrs. Thrifty's post and was then thinking about doing it for my jewellery, this may become an organisation obsession!!

I love reading make up storage posts, so I hope you enjoy how i've stored mine, if you have one please link it below in the comments I would love to see.

Good Things Five Minute Facial Face Mask


I discovered Good Things completely by accident, a few months back when I needed pack of face wipes to take on a trip and they were on a deal and I liked that they smell all fruity. Now I'm a convert when repurchasing some wipes to take to Mexico boots had one of their oh so terribly irresistible offers on to buy any two Good Things products for £6. Out of all the products I decided to try out the 'Five Minute Facial Face Mask' The only face masks I have ever tried are the Superdrug own brand ones, which are nice but in those annoying little sachets, so I thought it would be nice to have one at home I could use weekly rather then just the off treat.

 With super fruit extracts Avocado and Goji Berry and all their products being free from nasties such as parabens, sodium laureth sulphate and animal ingredients I like that their products are made from 'Just good things'

My favourite thing is that the mask smells so nice, I am always tempted to eat a little it smells so good! I usually slap it on after I have taken my make up off and before a shower. After it goes hard (When you can hardly move your face, my favourite bit) I then pop in the shower and wash it off with a muslin cloth. Before bed I then lather on some of my evening moisturiser and by the morning my skin looks much more brighter and clearer.

The old sciencey bit says that the mask contains green clay and kaolin to draw out impurities, avocado oil to moisturise, goji berry extract to soothe and willow bark extract for radiance. I can defiantly tell a difference once I've used the mask, I try to use it every week or when my skin needs a pick me up.

At £5.99 its certainly worth the money. I love that its made from loads of natural ingredients and any nastiness is left out, it smells gorge and its a nice little 5 minute treat to add to the evening skincare routine.

Have you tried any Good Things products? Do you think you will give the 'Five Minute Mask' a try?

Miles Kane








Back at the start of february my boyfriend and I were lucky enough to get tickets for a very intimate Miles Kane gig. He played in one of my local music venues Central Station as a warm up gig for the NME Awards tour he is currently on (well im guessing thats why) He played a few new tracks from his  yet to be released new album (which I can't wait to get my hands on) and most of his first album including some of my favourite tracks 'Come closer' and 'Rearrange'. It's so much fun to see an artist you love in such close proximity in a room full of other fans.

I was a big Rascals fan back in the day and completely wore out my Last of the Shadow Puppets album (Age of the Understatement is still in my top ten most played) I just think the Miles kane Mod-esque genre is right up my street.

I have seen Miles play before at Leeds Fest, T in the Park and Benicassim. If he is at a festival you are going to this summer I cannot recommend you see him more, its the perfect music for dancing with your mates with a cider in hand, you just feed off his enthusiasm on stage and the whole crowd has a good time.

If you haven't brought his 'Colour of the Trap' album I would highly recommend it specially if you are into Indie/Rock & Roll like me.

Are you a Miles Kane fan? Do you have his album or intend to buy it? Are you planning on going to any of his gigs or see him at any festivals?
