A Hallway Re-Vamp //

LIFESTYLE

The little space under our stairs had been bugging me for ageees ~ the succulent I'd planted had died, I'd taken a print out of it's frame so that I could use the white border for something else and it had become a bit of a dumping ground for keys // coins // bit's of paper... basically it needed a re-vamp quick time. The only thing holding it somewhat together was my Swoon Editions cupboard, which I'm still so happy with!

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream // 13 Sydney

BEAUTY

I went into my local Boots the other day and guess what? They've only gone and got a massive NYX counter!!! Eeeeee exciting times! It was super busy and the counter was ridiculously crowdedddd but I managed to get a good look at the matte lip creams and chose myself something a little out of my comfort zone...

Lips + Boys // Tom Ford Michael Lipstick

BEAUTY

When I heard that Tom Ford was releasing a collection of 50 miniature lipsticks all named after the various men who have influenced his life, I could almost hear my purse crying. Throw in the words "limited early release" and voila purchase made! In all fairness, I am proud of myself for only choosing one, although it was a long and tough decision (ha! seriously though it was). Eventually I went for Michael - a vibrant warm pink-coral, with a slight frosty finish and a subtle shimmer running through.

Pop of Pink // Chanel Powder Blush Ultra Rose

BEAUTY

I've been meaning to write about this blush for a ridiculously long time... I actually purchased this way back when my boyfriend took me to Paris in February. I got this in the Flagship Chanel store on Rue Cambon, after I'd been eyeing it up for ages. Im not sure if its available in the UK so when I saw it in person I swiftly parted with my money!

A Hint of Colour // By Terry Baume de Rose Nutri-Couleur

BEAUTY

I've always had the original cult favourite By Terry Baume de Rose on my wish list, but at £35.00 for 10g I never quite managed to part with my money. This being said, By Terry has released six new lip balms, each with a subtle tint of colour; which unfortunately for my bank balance has caused me to finally part with my money…

Spring Cheeks // Clinique Berry Pop

BEAUTY

Ok, I won't lie, the pretty packaging of this blush definitely influenced this purchase. The intricate flower design is so beautiful, I almost couldn't bear to put my brush to it. Luckily this is a relatively hard powder blush, so although it does look as if it could be a cream at first glance; I hardly made a dent in the design upon first use.

Soft Skin // Soap & Glory - The Righteous Butter

BEAUTY

I was given this body butter as a Christmas present from my boyfriends mom, but only recently started using it. I'll start off by saying I love the packaging! It's so cute and retro, plus it's pink - who doesn't love a bit of pink?
