The Oxo Tower Restaurant

Happy Monday!  I hope you've all had a nice start to a new week?

A different kind of post from me for this week, but if you caught me over on Instagram on Friday you will know that my friend and I visited the Oxo Tower Restaurant for my friends birthday.  

It's somewhere I have always wanted to go, and when my friend said she'd like to try it too we booked our table a few months ago.  

I loved it so much that I thought I would share the experience with you just in case you also fancy visiting. 

Matalan Homeware

You must love interiors and homeware as much as me?? It's EVERYWHERE at the moment, from Supermarkets offering an immense range of affordable homewares, to River Island launching their own homeware range this month!  There's something for every budget, and every style.

I recently had the chance to visit my nearest HUGE Matalan store, and I was completely taken a back by just how much Matalan has upped their interiors game.  I purchased £70 worth of stuff, so it must of been good!  I have listed below the top items that I have my eye on... let me know what you think?

Where have I been?

Where have I been?!

I took a few months break from blogging.  Not because I was bored of you guys, but simply because I had lost my blogging mojo.

I started putting my energy into things that weren’t worth my time – which was mainly internet dating!!
I tried it, and I failed and so far this year (and one date later) I can honestly say I AM DONE with it.

ASOS and Klarna

I absolutely love ASOS!  

I have been following ‘As seen on screen’ since they launched their website in 1999.

It’s a one stop shop for all kinds of brands, and I am thankful that this mecca for fashion is going from strength to strength

I don’t usually rave about a website much unless I adore it, and this is why I just had to write about ASOS and their new partner Klarna.  

Gatineau Skincare

Well what can I say other than - if you haven't heard or tried of Gatineau skincare before then you are totally missing out.

I first came across the Gatineau brand through the mother-ship QVC some years ago - as you know I have maturing, dry skin that has some fine lines, so I need all the help I can get!

Gatineau combines natural ingredients with cutting-edge biotechnology to create an advanced range of skincare. Rooted in beauty therapy, their salon quality products have been developed alongside a range of beauty treatments and are used by skincare professionals worldwide. Specializing in anti-ageing, their products provide highly visible results for a younger looking you!

I decided to opt for a mask to hydrate my tired skin, and a body lotion to get my skin Summer ready. 

Benefit BAD Gal Bang Volumising Mascara

Bit late to the party on this post - but I just had to write a review on the BAD Gal Lash Mascara from Benefit.

Benefit are the top of the market when it comes to mascaras.  I've tried all of them, so when a new one was released I couldn't wait to try it!

The Best Liquid Highlighter From ebay!

If you didn't know, I LOVE me a highlighter!

I am a massive fan of Becca Cosmetics, and I have used tons of items from the brand - but it's expensive and sometimes you just need an alternative on a cheaper scale.  

That's where ebay came in!  I opted for a liquid highlighter in a pipette form in the shade A1 - a Opal coloured bronze shade that is extemely easy to blend, I just had to tell you all about it.

Professional Beauty

Are you free this Sunday?? Do you love beauty products and enjoy meeting brands - and like free tickets, then Professional Beauty is for you!

I have been for the past few years, as a blogger and also a normal visitor.  

There are quite a few bargains to be had - and I always come away with some goodies that are much cheaper than the RRP.

Housed at the ExCeL London from Sunday 25th February to Monday 26th February Professional Beauty is fantastic for those who own professional salons nationwide, and people like me that like a bargain, and enjoy interacting with like minded people.

DHC Astaxanthin Collagen all-in-one Gel

Have you heard of the brand DHC before?  

A Japanese manufacturer dealing with cosmetics and health food since 1972.

Their beauty products are innovative, and unique! 

Known as "Your Japanese Beauty Expert" DHC always go above and beyond with innovation. 

Skin Republic Collagen Infusion Sheet Mask

I love a good sheet mask.  It's my Sunday self care pamper - and I am so pleased that they were invented!

I was lucky enough to be sent a fab new Collagen Infusion sheet mask from Skin Republic, it helps with anti ageing, is Dermatologist tested, and it's just a joy to use.

You can see me looking like a right nutter in the photos below - have you tried sheet masks before??

A Belated Happy New Year!

A very happy (rather belated New Year) from me! 

Sorry I haven't been around much in 2017, working full time, being ill and not wanting to spend so much time on the computer will do that to you.

I don't make New Years resolutions, instead I make aims / or goals for the year ahead - and here are mine... plus a little catch up really.
