My apologies!

Hello Beauty Addicts!

Well that feels weird; no 'Happy Holidays' or 'Merry Christmas.' Yes, it's finally happened, the new year has hit and my first post of the year is going to be a big apology. I am aware that I am a part timer. It's a fact. I have a lot of new commitments that are just eating up time but there is another reason of the more technical nature that explains why I haven't posted since... wait for it... the 20th of December! LAST YEAR! As far as I'm concerned, that's appalling. So here's the deal. Google mail for some reason suddenly decided that oh, my email address doesn't exist and let's face it, how can you sign into a blogger account with an email address that doesn't exist, oh, yes, you can't. A little bit of a pickle. So here's a quick one to say that yes, I have a lot of catching up to do. (Thanks computer, the internet is supposed to be revolutionary.) In the meantime, a quick beauty tip to keep you going and let you know I'm not dead?

     Vasaline acts as a protectant barrier between your lips and the world. It's moisturising properties are actually about nil to meh. Try using a moisturising lip balm (Hint hint: Burts Bees are superb!) and applying Vasiline over the top to lock that moisture in.

Tah Tah!

Slightly Late... October Favourites.

Hey Beauty Addicts,

Halloween, bonfires, autumn... it's just all to much! I have no wish lists for September or October. Not a favourites in sight! I don't know what's going on but clearly all this busy season has gotten the best of me.

So here's some of the things I just can't get enough of, in October at least. I'm not going to do full reviews because let's face it, I've been rabbiting on about some of these products in posts (which I will link for you as always) for the past month.

I'll start my journey back in time to last month with, yes, again Soap & Glory Cheekmate. (Seven Shades of Autumn and The Beautiful Big Screen.) I won't even tell you how much I love this, because I'm sure you already know. If you don't, just go clickety click on those links in brackets there.


My next favourite of October is my Warehouse scarf. I got this beauty in the very last days of October, but my love for it is so strong that yes, it makes up for that lost time. 20% student discount at Warehouse going on at the moment, just so ya know. This scarf is a weave of cream, baby blue and pale pink wool with cute little tassells.

Whilst a still beauty related my next favourite isn't exactly an item but a website that I cannot tear myself away from. Fantasy Shopper is a style sharing website where you can shop real items in hundreds of stores right now and create outfits, mood boards, help other members find nice outfits and create your own outfits. It's a great way of trying pieces before you buy them and you can do just that, purchase them through the website with one click. I found out about the site from
the wonderful Makeup Savvy. Careful though, it's addictive! 


My last beauty favourite for October is the Herbal Essences Drama Clean shampoo and conditioner.
A clarifying shampoo but gentler this combo gets rid of excess oil and keeps hair naturally shiny without the grease all day.

What are you loving this month, or like me, last month?

Bye Addicts.
