When it comes to getting out of bed and helping me look like I’m one of the living, there are certain things I always rely on.
First is my @lumie.lights alarm clock. They’re not cheap but this has been a life saver for me. Granted, I’m not jumping out of bed, so excites to get to work but the gradual build in gentle light helps my body feel less attacked by that awful iPhone alarm and I’m often awake before it reaches full intensity!
The second is a cup of tea. I very rarely skip my morning cuppa. I wake up, make it and pop back into bed for 20 minutes just adjusted and preparing myself mentally for the day ahead. Plus look at memes of course.
The last thing is a good under eye brightener. I’ve been really loving the Flawless Eye Retouch from @transformulas to help me look fresh in the morning. Not too thick or matte, simply paint under the eye and blend. The light reflective particles instantly smooth and conceal to make my eyes look brighter but in a really natural way. I’m not about that heavy cakey makeup look and this is just amazing.
What’s your morning routine?

Today is tree day. We’re having a big cooked breakfast, opening our advent calendars and decorating our new house for our first Christmas which I’m very excited about. Then to finish, a big roast dinner. The perfect Sunday!!
Also big big shout out to @lifeofpingkan and @hyphyhip. I just love doing photoshoots with these two. I only have to mention an idea I have and they help me execute it and photograph it better than I even imagined it! 💋

Tonight I’m having a chilled one. Anyone else wake up and already look forward to getting home and doing nothing? It’s my absolute fave. Top choices are reading a book or I’m already on the fifth season of Bones and loving it!

I am a peachy nude girl through and through but there’s something about this @fentybeauty lipstick in Clapback that makes me feel kickass! It’s a rich navy blue and it’s the only non-conventional lip colour I’ve ever bought. Something about the shade and finish called to me the second I saw it! Never mind the Fenty Mattemoiselle lipsticks feel great on. Not a touch of dryness and the colour is beyond pigmented. 
Haven’t quite been daring enough to wear it outside yet though even though I’ve had it for a year though... whoops.
What’s the boldest lip colour you’ll wear?!
Instagram post 2167408175811453203_3273331858 Gifted| It’s the 1st of November and to me that means it’s the start of the festive season. Ok I’m not talking get the tree up and lights everywhere but little bits of fun and magic every day are a must for me this month. I’m talking mince pies, lots of chocolate, Greggs festive bakes 😋 and @pret Christmas sandwiches (I’m sooooo ready). Plus it’s time to get out the winter cosy pyjamas and relax in festive bubble baths. Which brings me on to one of my favourite bath products, the @lush Snow Fairy Bubble Wand! For starters it’s pink so it’s a win and I love how easy it is to swish round in the water creating swirls of sparkly pink bubbles, all with that classic Snow Fairy scent.

What are your plans for this evening? Party? Trick or Treating? Or hiding away?! I’ve got my pumpkin carved (on the instastory) and my buckets of sweets ready! This year I’ve got skittles and of course the classic haribo packs. I wanted mini smarties but couldn’t find them anywhere! I’m not a big fan of sugary sweets like Swizzels so always get something I would actually eat. After all, a fair few packets will need to be tested by me for research purposes! 
What’s your favourite Halloween sweet treat? Any you really hate? Parma Violets = blerghhhh 🎃🕸🍬👻🤡

Lip care, Lush bubble gum lip scrub, Lancome juicy shaker great-fruit, Rodial lip scrub

Luscious Lips

With matte lipsticks being a firm favourite of mine and with beauty brands launching a must have liquid lipstick every week, it is important to look after my lips to stop them becoming flaky and dry.

Here are my top 3 lip care products to help keep my lips in tip top condition.

For lip care on the go, I have been using Rodial lip scrub. This handy pen contains fine sugar crystals to gently exfoliate and leave lips smooth. It also has vitamin e and panthenol to moisturise and hydrate. When my lips are feeling a little dry, I grab this pen out of my handbag and apply. It isn’t the most industrious of scrubs, but definitely keeps my lips soft when I am out and about. Usually by lunchtime my lipstick is flagging and before I reapply, I use Rodial lip scrub, tissue off any excess product and my lips are fresh for new lipstick. It also smells of mangoes, absolutely divine!

Top of many beauty bloggers lists is the bubblegum lip scrub by Lush. I am not usually a big bubblegum flavour fan but this scrub is fantastic! This candy pink scrub is made with caster sugar to exfoliate and one of my favourite oils, Jojoba to soften. Since this scrub can be a bit messy to use, I rub it all over my lips before bed, to wake up with smooth lips, as long as I haven’t licked it off the second after application! If bubblegum isn’t for you, Lush also sell two other lip scrubs, popcorn (sugary buttery goodness) and mint julips (tingling sugar scrub with peppermint oil).

After all this scrubbing, I like to finish with Lancome Juicy Shaker . This little cocktail contains moisturising oil with juicy colour pigment. Just shake to mix and apply with the cushion soft applicator. If you are after a long lasting lip gloss then this is not the product for you, as it does need regular topping up throughout the day. However, for me this is the ultimate lip treat. It smells fantastic and even though it looks bright in the tube, these lip oils provide just enough pigment to leave a subtle pop of colour. I think Lancome have really outdone themselves with the juicy shaker, creating a fun but very practical product.
