Kurt Geiger Dolls Event In Manchester

Next week on Wednesday 28th November I will be heading up north to attend the Kurt Geiger Dolls Event in Manchester. Personally I love Kurt Geiger and have many times fallen head over heels with their shoes, lusting and dreaming over many pairs. That's why I'm extremely excited to attend the event to have a browse, mingle and join in with the fun.

The event is for anyone and you can pop into the store have a bubbly, some yummy canapes and enjoy 25% off. Not only that, you can get your hair styled and be transformed into a Kurt Geiger Doll by having a illustration, pretty fabulous eh? 

Diptyque Sapin Dore Christmas Candle

*Diptyque Paris Mini Sapin Dore Christmas Candle £25

The other day I was invited to the Bond Street Diptyque boutique to have a little explore. Being obsessed with all things festive I was particularly keen to browse their new christmas candles, which by the way are gorgeous and have made their way onto my Christmas list. The store itself is a delight to shop around, compact but everything is displayed beautifully and looks very inviting with their window displays.

Graduation Treat: Prada Saffiano

Prada Saffiano Purse

Next week I have my official graduation after finishing my degree and achieving a 2:1 (woohoo!) As a result of this my mum has kindly treated me to something extra special...

Bedside Beauty

L'Oocitane Hand Cream £18.50, L'Oocitane Foot Cream £18.50, 

*Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream £18.00, *Weleda Skin Food £8.95

Whilst relaxing in bed (my favourite place ever) taking part in my favourite activities like watching trashy tv, writing posts or browsing YouTube I like to have a selection of products on hand to cater to my beauty needs.

Dressing Table Tour/Make-up & Skincare Collection

I have a nice little video here for you that I thought you nosey lot may enjoy. Some of you have probably seen it if you're subscribed to my YouTube channel... However, I do warn you, it's quite a long one so you may want to light your favourite candle, relax and grab a cuppa!

  

Clinique High Impact Extreme Volume Mascara

*Clinique High Impact Extreme Volume Mascara £17.00, you can buy it here.

The most recent mascara I have on the go is the latest offering from Clinique, the High Impact Extreme Volume Mascara. I'm usually a fan of the high street selection such as No7 Fanomenal mascara, which you can see a post here. But, this one might have just converted me...

Room Tour Video

The other day I uploaded my Room Tour for my newly decorated bedroom. I thought I would share it with you guys so I hope you enjoy being nosey! I would love to hear any thoughts or ideas on things you may think I need to complete it. So please do share, and don't forget to subscribe!

  

Urban Decay LE 2012 Build Your Own Palette

*Urban Decay Build Your Own Palette in Melt

Whenever I think of eyeshadows, Urban Decay comes to mind. A fun, bright, edgy brand that offers a huge range of super pigmented, great quality eyeshadows at fantastic value. Earlier this year they released their 'Build Your Own Palettes' - which allows you to buy a funky designed empty pan to build, switch up and collect your favourite UD shadows to your hearts content.

The Daily Face #1

 

*Jemma Kidd Light as Air, *Elizabeth Arden Good Morning Retexturizing Primer, Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzer, *Clinique High Impact Extreme Volume Mascara, *Bourjois Intuitive Liner, *HD Brows Palette, Benefits Erase Paste, By Terry Touche Veloutee

These are the kind of products I wear if I want my make-up to last all day and still look put together, it's probably the collection of products that I use the most - perfect for long days in London.

Taking Care of My Nails...

*Neal's Yard Bee Lovely Hand Cream, Leighton Denny Crystal Nail File, *Leighton Denny

 Touch and Go Cuticle Pen, *Seche Vite Recondition

Just recently I've given my nails a little break. Swapping rich autumn shades for a natural glossy look, and harsh varnish remover for nourishing oils! I've pulled together the products that I've really enjoyed using to help get my nails back in good condition. Say bye to staines, flakes and dryness and hello to healthy nails!

October Jolie Box

I know this is a bit late but I was quite impressed with the October Jolie Box so I thought I would share it with you...

Balance Me Balancing Face Moisturiser - This apparently is one of their best selling products, I've tried their eye cream before and was actually really impressed! Considering its price and the fact you can pick up Balance Me products from Waitrose meaning its easily accessible. This is definitely a brand you want to be looking into if you're on a budget yet want effective results.

The Edit: Concealers

*Perricone MD No Concealer Concealer, Benefit Erase Paste, By Terry Touche Veloutee

I've been through quite a few concealers in my time, being someone who suffers with dark circles they are an absolute essential. They have to be high coverage, none cakey, long lasting and none drying! Not expecting much eh? I have got together my three favourite products for hiding those circles to share with you.
