London fashion week!

I am obsessed with fashion week, twice a year I turn into a crazy person constantly streaming shows. Sometimes on two devices when I can't choose or there's a clash. So when I was invited to Fashion Monitors style lounge I had to go! 

They did a fantastic job of organising the whole thing, I fell in love with the Mayfair hotel.

I luckily got to have my hair done by the most wonderful stylist Nicole from the Notting Hill Headmasters salon, I have never slept so carefully in my life. And the hairs still in place, I had to redo a few curls but all in all I'm still wondering around like a lost princess 

I also got to talk to the wonderful Louise Connor who created me a little eye flick to match this amazing hair do 

I was going to attempt to recreate it, but I think ill leave it to the professionals I only end up a smudgey mess. 

Gazelli also made an appearance, offering beauty treatments such as hand massages, I've never seen people look so relaxed! 

House of holland nail wraps, SuperDry and Mallzee where also there, if you don't know mallzee it's a fantastic shopping app much like a huge wish list from all your brands, all your brand apps into one! Huge space saver. 

An amazing event all round!!

Stay Matte Mousse - Rimmel

I can't live without foundation, its such a part of my routine, and it helps me feel normal. We put so much trust in a product to enhance ourselves, to enable us to feel ready to face the day, so why not research it? 

Rimmel Stay Matte Mousse Foundation is a lightweight creamy foundation that gives excellent coverage and has excellent staying power. I haven't been a fan of mousse like foundations in the past because the texture just doesn't feel right to me, (unless im eating it) My skin can also be oily in places one minute and dry the next so the Matte element did make me wary. Pleasantly surprised this foundation is quite hydrating.

Swatch for Ivory 100.

Rimmel is an excellent on budget brand which delivers its promises. Excellent value, only a small range of colours available, but they cover the basics.

Vichy Idealia Life Serum

Designed for over stressed, skin exposed to pollution and built to counteract an unbalanced diet. If ever there was a reason to have a cheeky slice of cake it's this stuff. Ive always believed in what you put in shows on the outside and whilst I advocate a balanced lifestyle, sometimes, over indulgence is something we all keep as a little guilty pleasure so its about time someone created something to counteract the bad days! 

This Serum is cream like in texture when you first put it on but once you start to rub it in it glides like a serum and soaks in leaving skin feeling nourishing, has a happy scent and isn't to over powering.

Once rubbed in it leaves a dewy glow and during the summer can be worn alone without foundation. Although it doesn't even out skin tone, if you're happy going foundation-less this will leave you fresh faced all day. 

Used twice a day for a few weeks i can see the benefits, and if it helps me feel a little less guilty when i indulge at the weekends, then that's a huge plus. With the festive season just around the corner we all need this on our beauty shelves.

Usually £29.50 in boots, but at the moment its £22.12! (Price correct of 11.9.13)

The New Night Time Find!

Night Creams are SO Important. As we sleep our skin repairs (or tries to) any damage done during the day. I picked this up the other day, I love its nourishing feel, I can feel the antioxidants soak into my skin and get to work on making my skin have that morning glow! 

Although it may seem thick to begin with, it soaks in nicely and leaves skin feeling nourished, healthy and is the ultimate bed time skin treat.

With added Anti-Ageing benefits, this one is definitely a keeper!

Night Night!
