Brussels // day trip

After a two hour drive we arrived in Brussels in Belgium, a place well known as the capital of Europe. It was a lovely sunny day and not too cold so perfect for just walking around and taking in the sights. As it was the first time I'd been to a belgian city, I didn't have a specific plan of what I wanted to see or do except for going to the hard rock cafe which I'm a huge fan of but that's something for another post.

Urban Decay Smoked Palette

When it comes to smoky eyes, look no further than the Smoked palette from Urban Decay. It is by far the best selection of eye shadows that I have ever used to create a sultry smoky look. The palette consists of 10 colours that are velvety and highly pigmented. 

Festive sparkly eye look

Yes the festive season is upon us and this usually means that there are more parties to go to and it's when you meet up with people you don't seem to see during the rest of year for drinks or dinner.

Christmas Wishlist 2014

Holidays are coming, holidays are coming... and of course by this I mean CHRISTMAS! 

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr

I absolutely love the colours offered in this range from Maybelline and found it difficult to choose only a couple to try but I opted for these gorgeous shades in blue and pink (20- Turquoise Forever & 65- Pink Gold). 

So Susan eye shadow palette review

This eye shadow palette was a pleasant surprise for me when I received it in the Pretty Box from Oct which I reviewed here. It was a surprise because the last two products that I got from this brand were disappointing to say the least, but this palette is lovely.

Inside my make up bag

My make up collection has grown to a decent size but I don't tend to carry much with me when I go about my daily business unless I'm planning to go out after work or something like that. I used to carry more with me but recently I streamlined it down to only a few things.

Make up storage

My make up collection has grown exponentially over the past year and because of this, I have had to find storage solutions that will not only make it all tidy but also accessible so that I can rotate what I'm using easily. So here's are a few of the things I use to store my make up

Pimp your plimsolls

Recently my daughters gym plimsolls have gone missing at school. They have eventually shown up but it has meant that for many gym lessons she has had to do without them. So my husband and I decided to pimp her new plimsolls so that they could not easily be placed in someone else's bag by mistake. We're so happy with how they turned out that I just had to share.

Beauty Box Oct'14

As my second beauty box subscription I opted for this one as I liked the look of what the previous months had contained and I must say that I wasn't disappointed. I got this along with the Pretty Box this month which you can find my post about here.

Pretty Box Oct'14

I've had this box for a couple of weeks now but only just managed to get round to posting about it. This is my second box from the Pretty Box subscription service and I am considerably happier with this one than I was with last months which I posted about here.
