The New Beauty Additions

This month like many others I've done a little splurging on beauty products and have a few new additions to welcome into the crowd. From some new spring cheek products to a heavy duty SPF and even a perfume I vowed never to purchase, here's what's made it into my shopping basket.

The New Healthy Mix

I'm pretty sure I could count on less than one hand the amount of lower end 'drugstore' foundations that I actually get along with. I'm no snob when it comes to make up but premium brands are always the ones I turn to with confidence for a flawless base.

This Week #44

01. Costa and Doughnuts for Breakfast | 02. If it were bookshops vs. beauty halls I'm pretty sure books would win every time | 03. A mini BB Surf Spray, adorable! | 04. Some seriously holographic heels in Next | 05. Daisy Cupcakes from

The Spring Edit: Nails

After nearly a week of consecutive sun (touch wood) I think we can safely say Spring has arrived! The beauty wardrobe deserves a seasonal revamp and the first port of call for me is always nails. Ten little fragments of colour that give noting but hope for warmer weather. The big dilemma however is pastels or brights? I've picked five of my favourites in each category that will definitely be adorning my nails over the coming weeks.

The Lip Crayon Roundup

The Lip Crayon seems to be the height of popularity at the moment with brands bringing them out left right and center. From the glossy to the matte, well pigmented to sheer formulas there seems to be one to suit every preference and in the absolute sea of these lip products I've picked out three of my favourites.

Top 5 Lip Balms


Benefit Dr Feelgood Silky Lip Balm, Carmex Moisture Plus in Peach, Figs & Rouge Coco Vanilla, Lush Whipstick, Blistex Relief Cream

01. I still can't believe this is being discontinued! Probably my favourite of them all, this lip balm is moisturising but not greasy and has a lovely glossy sheen. It came in a little set called Lipscription with a lip scrub which is brilliant too. Luckily there's so much in this tube I doubt I'll ever run out, but I'll still have to start using it sparingly.

02. I used to use the original Carmex all the time but couldn't put up with the horrible taste and smell any more. These sitcks are quite new but they give the same amazing moisture along with a subtel tint of colour. This one is quite pinky even though its supposed to be peach but its the perfect your-lips-but-better colour.

03. Already featured in my January Favourites, this Fig's & Rouge balm is like Vaseline without the greasyness. Smells amazing too and comes in a huge range of different flavours.

04. I've gotten so into Lush at the moment it's becoming a little obsessive. This is mainly thanks to Charlene's brilliant little series on all their best products, one of which was the Whipstick. It's a gorgeous balm with real Belgium chocolate in it! This one's great for making your lips unbelivably smooth and leaving barely any residue on them.

05. The one and only, Blistex Reliefe cream. Smells and tastes horrible and leaves a white cast on your lips that will make you look like you're freezing but it really is the best thing for really dry, chapped lips. I wear this overnight and it does wonders!
