REVIEW: L'Oreal True Match Foundation.

I have been on the hunt for a lightweight foundation for ages so I was over the moon when I found the L'Oreal True Match, my Mum gave me this as it didn't suit her skin tone. I haven't used L'Oreal make-up before, but I am really pleased with this product.

I lost the lid, sorry. 

Family Fun Day in Memory of Lee Wilson.

Hi everyone,

If you read my blog post from the start of this month you will know that it is World Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, also that there is a fundraising event taking place in support of this and in memory of Lee Wilson a much loved Midland comedian, Dad, Grandad and Great Grandad.

If you did read my blog post about this cause then you will know the fundraising event details already, but just incase you've forgotten or for those of you who haven't read the previous post, here are all of the details again.

Christmas Gift Guide: UNDER £15 STOCKING FILLERS.

Welcome to the third and final my Christmas Gift Guide, here are a few gifts that are under £15 and ideal for stocking fillers. 

The first thing that came to mind when I thought of stocking fillers was fluffy socks, every girl I know just loves chilling out with a mug of chocolate and trashy mags whilst wearing a pair of Primark's finest fluffy socks! You can get loads of cute colours and designs from Primark for £2 - such a bargain! But I saw these from New Look for £5.99, how cute are these though? At the end of Christmas Day, after you've taken your heels off, these would be perfect to slip on and put your feet up with your tin of Quality Streets or After Eights. 

Something for the men now but staying on the cosy theme. Not many men will admit it but they love getting the handy stuff for Christmas like pants, socks, jumpers and scarves. So here is a super cosy and chunky snood from ASOS for £15. I chose a snood over a scarf because I have seen so many men wear scarves totally wrong and what should look so trendy just looks ridiculous, a snood is so much easier to put on and wear.

Christmas Gift Guide: HIM

Welcome to part 2 of my Christmas Gift Guides, here are a few gift ideas for the guys in your life, whether it's your Boyfriend or Husband, Brother, Son, Dad or Uncle.

Firstly, for the men in your life that love to pamper themselves this Soap and Glory All-Out Phwoar bath and body gift set is perfect, obviously I have never used the men's stuff before but I absolutely adore the women's products. I really like their packaging, it's got a 1950's look to it and the names of their products are a clever play on words. This men's gift set includes; Soap'er Man Hair & Body Wash, Eau Man Body Spray, Eau Man Eau de Toilette, A Man's Got to Dew Facial Moisturiser Balm, A Shave to Love Shave Gel, Billy Wildhair Hair Sculpting Putty & Duck Soap on a Rope. You can buy this for £25 from the Soap & Glory's online store or from Boots.

Christmas Gift Guide: HER

It's quite obvious now that Christmas is creeping up on us fast, the shops are stocking Quality Streets, the German Markets have started and John Lewis and Coca Cola have released their Christmas adverts.  

With 5 weeks until Christmas Day, when better to do a few Christmas Gift Guide blog posts? Now is the answer, before we run out of time to buy pressies! As you can tell from the title my first gift guide is for 'her', just a few ideas to help you decide what to buy for the lovely ladies in your life, whether it's your Girlfriend, Wife, Mum, Sister, Nan or Aunty.

World Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month.

November is  Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month and November 13th is World Pancreatic Cancer Day.

I am attending an event near me in support of pancreatic cancer to raise both awareness and funds for the charity. I went to school with Ellie Martin, who is hosting this fundraising event with her siblings after they lost their Grandad to pancreatic cancer. Here is a little message from Ellie and some information about the event. 

"We are organising a fun filled few hours, with lots of beautiful unique stalls, of which profits will be going to Pancreatic Cancer UK. Please join us to raise awareness and of course, money; in memory of our Grandad and so many others that were taken too soon or are fighting to kick Pancreatic Cancer where it hurts!

BE SMART. BE AWARE.

Please, if you are unable to attend, contact us for details on how you can contribute towards the donations.

October Favourites.

I think that it is safe to say that we are well and truly into Autumn, the trees are covering the ground with their golden litter of leaves and the nights are getting darker earlier. These are some products that I have loved using throughout October along with a little bit about why they are my favourites!
