Hi Loves
what is it about a face mask that makes you feel as though you are treating yourself to something special? It's probably the "me" time, even though you are probably buzzing around doing chores while it's on!  That 10-15 minutes is a mini treat that we all deserve.

B. Is For Beautiful from Superdrug, which you have seen me talk about before has added to it's fabulous Cruelty Free, Vegan collection in the form of 4 amazing masks that treat your skin whatever it's needs are, and the fact that they come in these little single use pods as well as a full sized jar, means you can multi-mask to your hearts content, treating different areas of the face with different needs.  It also allows you try out the masks before committing to a full size.



B. Detoxed Clay Face Mask 

Suitable for all skin types, the combination of clay and charcoal really does draw out blocked pores and reduce excess sebum,  apply for 10-15 minutes allow the mask to do it's work, you will actually feel it pulling as it dries, rinse off with warm water. Your skin is left feeling super clean.



B. Purified Clay Face Mask

Suitable for all skin types. The natural Kaolin clay in this mask has a deeply purifying quality to clean out pores, while Eucalyptus extract purifies, leaving the skin mattified and shine free. 10-15 minutes on face and neck, rinse with warm water and you are good to go, I would use this one before getting ready for a night out to ensure I was shine free.





B. Glowing Clay Face Mask

Suitable for all skin types. This Gorgeous pink formula brightens, refines and softens the skin, the inclusion of finely ground Apricot granules gently polish the skin removing dead and dry skin cells which leave the skin look dull. 10-15 minutes on face and neck, try and relax if you can!  rinse off with warm water, you will notice a brighter more lively looking skin tone.


B. Hydrated Leave On Face Mask


Suitable for all skin types. This is really self explanatory, you leave it on.  I leave mine on sometimes while I am pottering around doing housework, but for deep serious hydration I sleep in this mask and rinse it off in the morning, it's super hydrating and will leave you with soft nourished skin. Contains Squalane & Babassu Oil.

These little 10ml Pods are a great way of having your weekly mask to hand, although I have to confess to masking 3-4 times a week!  The full size Jars currently have £3.00 off at

The WoolRoom Sheepskin Rug

Hi Loves
As you all know I am a huge fan of the WoolRoom products, I sleep on a WoolRoom bed  and use WoolRoom Bedding which I love. These led me onto the accessories section of the website which hosts a sumptuous collection of pure wool throws, blankets, nursery items and home accessories for the cosiest rooms ever, and with the knowledge that pure wool is allergy free you know you are safe from any dust mites or nasties.





I am now the proud and happy owner of the worlds most luxurious sheepskin rug ever!  My rug is so gorgeous that I can''t actually bring myself to walk on it, which I know is daft, however it looks fabulous draped across one of the chairs in the lounge and is heavenly to snuggle up on with a book. 


I am now tempted by some cushions to throw on the sofa opposite my chair rug! The only problem being id that the room will be so flipping cosy I will never want to leave the house  and I will become known as the sheepskin hermit!

Vist the WoolRoom Here and see for yourself. 

How could you possibly resist?

SUPERDRUG NEW Vitamin C Detox Skincare

Hi Loves
With the threatened weather warnings we are having at the moment,  I am pleased to bring a bit of sunshine into your daily skincare routine courtesy of our friends at Superdrug.com. Often things appear in the post that have me thinking "here we go, another novelty"  and I have to be honest and  say I raised an eyebrow at Jam face mask! However, I have been seriously keen to try out this new range and the higher end skincare brands seem to have gone Vitamin C crazy and once again Superdrug are there with an affordable alternative. Which I have to say often as not perform as well as, if not better than some!

This NEW range of skincare is  the Vitamin C Detox  Skincare Range. which comprises of

• Vitamin C Refreshing Facial Cleanser
• Vitamin C Revitalising Jam Mask
• Vitamin C Nourishing Gel Moisturiser
• Vitamin C Eye Cream
• Vitamin C Booster

The first thing that hits you is the wake up citrus fragrance of this cleanser, applied to damp skin it's a real multi-tasker not only does it cleanse it gently exfoliates with the Orange peel, Goji Berry and Kakadu Plum extracts. It leaves your skin feeling super fresh and clean without any redness or tight feeling.  I used this as a stand alone cleanser in the morning, which was a fab wake up boost, and as a second cleanse in the evening after first using Superdrug Hot Cloth Cleanser, which as you can see from this blog post I first tried in June 2015.
Kakadu Plum - Has the highest concentration of Vitamin C of any food on the planet.
Goji Berry - Known to induce calm and wellbeing.

SUPERDRUG NEW Vitamin C Detox Skincare Revitalising Jam Face Mask

Superdrug Vitamin C Revitalising Jam Face Mask 75ml

THIS  I was dubious about, honestly I thought it was some kind of novelty item, I mean who puts Jam on their face on purpose?  But for you my gorgeous reader- I did.
And I am glad I did, it's bloody amazing!  Let me start by saying that if you have an aversion to sticky, and I know some people do, then this is not for you.  It really is like Jam, you damp your face, smear on your jam, leave for 10-15 minutes while your jam warms up ( you may actually feel this) then rinse off.  The Orange peel, Goji Berry extract and sugar literally whip off any dead skin leaving you soft and glowing, while the Kakadu Plum extract infuses you with Vitamin C.
I LOVE this, my skin was left feeling and looking soft and alive, and I am so glad my first impressions were wrong, I will be Jammin for a long time to come I think.

SUPERDRUG NEW Vitamin C Detox Skincare Nourishing Gel Moisturiser

Superdrug Vitamin C Nourishing Gel Moisturiser 75ml

Now!  this is where you really get the full citrus blast, the fragrance on this gel is out of this world.  A light gel/lotion type formula, disappears into your skin as though it is refuelling a desperate thirst. What I was particularly impressed with was that I held the moisture all day, at no point did my skin feel dry or tight, It was comfortable with no greasy residue, in fact it leaves you with mattified skin ready for foundation with no primer. win win.

There are a few reasons I am crazy for these products, firstly I am addicted to anything with a citrus smell, I totally love a bargain, the jars are 75ml rather than the standard 50ml. The Products work!

Vegan and Vegetarian Friendly
Cruelty Free
Recyclable packaging.

Hiya Darlins
I am continuing with my love of PUR Cosmetics by trialling the impressive range of Lip Liner shades. It's a funny thing how years ago Lip Liner was seldom used, or when it was you had the definite contrast of a light lipstick with a darker liner, nowadays Lip Liners are as much part of our daily make up routine as mascara, and I for one couldn't imagine making up without one, I think no matter what your age every ones lips benefit from a little definition and these PUR On Point Lip Liners cover every angle.

I recently wrote about the PUR Quick Pro Lip Kit which I loved and found to be incredible value.

These Lip Liners are infused with plumping peptide with gives the outline of the lips a fuller plumper look, prevents feathering of lipstick and gives you the perfect definition and guideline which is especially helpful if you are using dark shades that need a more precision application.  I have actually used these pencils as lipsticks as the formula is both moisturising and non drying. the lid of the twist up pencil has a handy hidden sharpener, these apply easily and are long lasting, the beauty of PUR Cosmetics is that you know only the best paraben free ingredients are being applied to your face, which have never been tested on animals, and are suitable for vegans.

• Paraben Free
• Vegan
• Cruelty Free
• Gluten Free
• Suitable for any skin type

Hi Loves
Yesterday as you will know if you follow me on Instagram, saw me adding yet another Ikea storage cupboard to the office. It got me thinking at how those images could have had me looking perfectly  organised and in control. Nothing could be further from the the truth, I fly through life by the seat of my pants, and I honestly cannot fathom why.

I have days where I get up before the birds, go into the office at home and work like a mad woman, leaving exhausted but feeling smug, I then proceed to tell everyone how good I have been and how good it felt, stating that this is now my new routine and I am going to be on top of things LOL. Only to be found the following day doing housework, cooking up some random recipe, pottering around, spending an easy 2 hours on the phone to one of my blogging buddies and generally wasting the day.  I go to bed, regretting wasting yet another day and thinking tomorrow I will get organised. I really would like a shrink to analyse my confused brain to tell me why I fight with routine so much. Maybe, having bought up my children and being self employed for the large part of my life had me chained to so much routine that at this old age I am rebelling against it? I envy those who are in control, although my mind says, ah that's boring I would actually quite like to be boring and have some flipping routine.  Him indoors, gets up before dawn, walks the dog at the same time, leaves the house at the same time, returns at the same time. In fact you could time his actions, where, I on the other hand fight routine every step of the way.  Is it just me?  am I odd? when life would be so much better with structure, why do I let it fly out of the window?  I wish I knew the answer.

Maybe this is something that only self employed people suffer with?  when you work you don't have choices, but now I have choices why are they the wrong ones? OR ARE THEY?  maybe I should just accept that this is me, this is now my normal. The postman should not expect to see me dressed and made up in the mornings, and my fridge should not expect to be cleaned on a certain day, maybe I should just go with the flow and let life just do it's thing?  all this would be great if I were not a control freak, which is totally contradictory to how my life runs now.

You know what?  I have no clue why I have written this post, maybe I started out thinking I could justify being unorganised with my time. But no, I have just been left feeling guilty again, thinking I need to get into the office and continue filling the Ikea storage!  Hey Ho -  I guess as they say "all the saints are in heaven" 

How do you cope with being on top of things? any hints would be gratefully received, failing that

Every new season I look forward to the new releases from GOSH Copenhagen, I truly think this brand needs a huge amount of attention, they are innovative quality products at a really good price.

I do have a few things to share with you from this years SS18 range which I will be featuring, but a couple of pieces instantly jumped out at me.  Firstly the new shades in




Gosh Lip Oil
 I wrote about these when Gosh first released them in 2016. Once again they surpass brands at 4 x the price and as always these are totally on trend, this time in holographic shades, there are three in the collection, show here are 007 Crystal Star and 006 Flower Essence. Interestingly these are the same price as 2016, bet not many brands could claim to be so competitive in the price range!


Gosh Fake It! Lash Primer

This primer not only adds thickness and length to your lashes it separates and conditions at the same time thanks to the addition of Hyaluronic acid.
My lashes are blonde/clear so I don't usually notice too much if I use a primer, but this one is grey! I instantly saw a dramatic difference in the length and fullness of the lashes, can be used under any mascara. I tested it with ........





Gosh Turn Me On Vibrating Mascara

I was desperate to try this as I remembered many years ago another vibrating mascara being on the market, I can't for the life of me remember who made it, but I do remember it flinging black spots all over the eye and under eye area, it was a disaster!  Things have come a long way, and I tested this out with trepidation. To my delight the buzzing wand is fabulous, it was almost like having the mascara applied for you, the sensation is a little strange at first, and to be fair I did think it would be just a novelty item, but it worked! each lash was coated perfectly both top and bottom, I think a delicate hand is definitely needed as I got a bit over confident with the second eye and blobbed. Overall I really like this, one thing is for sure, it definitely saves time!

 is currently available, the release date on the new SS18 collection is February 2018 so the items will filter through and become available this month.


The combination of Gosh Fake It and Gosh Turn Me On resulted in pretty good looking lashes, longer, fuller but more than anything separated with no clumps.

NUDESTIX Lip & Cheek Colour

Have you heard the buzz about Nudestix?

If not let me give you the quick SP.  Former M.A.C product developer and Co Founder of of Cover FX.  Jenny Frankel took a break from her career to spend more time with her daughters while they were growing up. Watching her beautiful girls and their natural style make up habits was the inspiration behind Nudestix. A range of make up pencils that allow you to *Go Nude But Better*  

Photo Courtesy of Infuenster.com

Jenny comments
“It doesn’t matter if someone’s come out with the latest blue—they don’t do colour. I noticed that they spent quite a bit more time sleeping in or checking Instagram than putting on their makeup. If it took more than three to five minutes, they weren’t doing it,” says Frankel, 43. “Their idea of beauty was much more about lifestyle—very easy lifestyle. Taylor rarely brushes her hair, and that’s OK. It’s about the messy vibes and the wraparound scarf… it’s the whole look. They don’t do precision.”

NUDESTIX Lip & Cheek Colour

This range of "Stix" is bang on trend and perfect for those who don't want to carry around a luggage sized make up bag.  Jenny is the company founder, while Taylor and Ally sit alongside Mum as co-founders in this trio of what can only be described as natural beauties.

I need to say here that while these sticks are current and trendy, don't be fooled into thinking they are "Youth exclusive"  as you know I am an old bird, and some days you really don't want or need a full face, however we all need a little help, and the Lip & Cheek Pencils are simply perfect for a flush of colour, on lips and cheeks. 

The range is vast,  from correcting pencils to eye sticks, foundation and mascara. I honestly think once you start down this route it could become habit forming. The entire range can be seen at

I tried Lip & Cheek Pencil in it comes with it's own tin and sharpener, which to be honest is all you need to carry in your bag should you need a quick touch up.  the creamy formula blends well and has a good lasting power on the lips,  Also the beauty of these is there is no need for a separate lip liner. A couple of stripes blended on to your cheeks and you are good to go.  My Nan used to attack me this way with her lippie if she considered me looking a little peaky when I was young!  ha ha  

I predict this is a brand to watch in 2018.  Check out Here
