YSL Summer Look 2013

YSL Collections are always pretty darn special - and the offering this Summer is no exception. Influenced by Marrakesh it's one filled with rich golds and browns, with a pop of jewel toned colours and the packaging - gorgeous! Would you expect anything less?!

This post is actually a composite of a selection of products from YSL - the new Summer collection, the Babydoll Collection (with the focus being the Baby Doll Mascara that I reviewed here) plus the staples of the YSL brand - touche eclat, the foundation plus the cult classic under eye brightener - seen below in the pretty limited edition packaging for 2013.

Detox Body Scrub: Fig+Yarrow

How do you like your coffee? Me - I like it to smells like a fresh Starbucks (or better) but instead of taking the mandatory instagram snap and sipping from a white cup is safely esconsed in a chunky glass jar until being scooped out and rubbed all over!

Life recently...

It's been a fair while since I did one of these 'week in the life of' type posts, but felt like popping one up today as a little update on what I've been doing recently, and why posting may have been a little less regular than usual! But I am back, post-hols, feeling refreshed and bursting with blog post ideas! Now just need to make it out of my PJs and bring the ideas to life...!

BAFTA Style Suite Pampering

Eek, this is a little late as was meant to go live on the day of the BAFTA awards when I was away on holiday...best laid plans eh!? Well before I went away I was lucky enough to be invited to spend an evening at the Corinthia Hotel where I was preened and pampered and red carpet prepped by MAC, Mark Hill and St Tropez - and I wanted to share a few pics of the experience!

The perfect bag for bloggers on the go??

I have a bit of a weakness for handbags, and not just any handbags but I have a major weakness for Mulberry handbags. There's just something about them that I love - and always will. But my latest handbag love isn't Mulberry at all - but an Italian brand called L.Credi which I discovered after spotting the grey bag on the T.K.Maxx website. It looked like a good 'sensible' bag, smart, structured a nice neutral colour...ticking all the right 'sensible' boxes...but it took sensible to a new level...
