L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes & Shu Umera S Curler | Review

Hello my name is Lily and I have a mascara problem. I am forever telling my mum to go and buy my latest holy grail mascara, only for a few weeks later to hop on to another mascara bandwagon. Well Ladies and Gentlemen, I've now found my perfect eye combo for lashes that literally just go POW!

Easy Easter Cake | Fluffy Tails & Big Ears

Easter is one of my favourite times of year. Spring is upon us, Daffodils are sitting in every vase I own, chocolate is an acceptable food group and there are Bunnies adorning everything in shops (seriously I do NOT need any more novelty bunny things). 

I got the idea for this treat, combining my loves of chocolate, baking and bunnies, after speaking with my lovely friend Nancy who is also an avid baker. Essentially this is simply a chocolate sponge with a 'well' cut out in the middle for a chocolate cornflake nest and covered in Nutella buttercream.

Spring Make Up | Bronze Eyes & Red-Orange Lips

This season the makeup look of the moment is a bright and bold, orange-red toned lip, teamed with gold/bronze eyes. I'm not one to follow trends for the sake of trends, but if you remember my Lipstick Doughtnut Post, then you'll know how much I love the Hourglass Opaque Rouge in Riviera! With that in my stash it would be rude not to put down my eyeliner and take out my trusty Urban Decay Naked Palette for a bronze eye. I simply swept Half Baked all over the lid with my Mac 217 Brush and blended out. Running a little Darkhorse along the lash line, adding lashings of mascara and I was good to go!

I also took this opportunity to take my Tarte Blush in Tipsy out for a spin. Oh wow! Never has a blush applied so buttery and blended so well. Blushes normally last on me a max of 3hours but this one genuinely lasted until bed time!

Finally an ode to the Dior BB Cream. I remember when I hadn't ever thought my skin was good enough for a BB. Then my lovely friend & blogger Alice of Bright Town Girl wrote THIS post and it went straight on my birthday list. Now the sun is out and my skin is behaving (touch wood!) I dug it back out. Teamed with the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Diffused Light and this is a glowy, lightweight base that stays put.

Let me know what you think of this look and what trends you'll be trying out this Spring/Summer !

American Haul & Review | Sephora and Bath & Body Works

Now to me Sephora and Bath & Body Works are all I thought of when my Dad told me he had to go to America on business. Gone are the days of longing for Hershey's Cookies & Cream, thanks to watching and reading so many amazing American & Canadian Beauty 'gurus' (such a funny term but what else do you say?) I long to peruse the aisles of these two beauty meccas.

Now luckily for us Sephora now ships to the UK (sorry Dad when I gave you this giant list that wasn't the case!). However thanks to pesky shipping regulations, this means we still cannot get perfumes or nail polishes delivered. Hearing so much about Sephora's Formula X Polishes ($10.50) and the Fresh's Sugar Lychee Perfume ($22), I had to pop these on my list first. 

Just A Walk In The Park | Springtime Saturday

Sometimes the best days are unplanned. I've not been feeling myself the last few weeks and have been quite ill. Feeling slightly better, yesterday I attempted a boxcercise session and then proceeded to recover at home watching Spice World The Movie (totally still know all the dance moves!), baking a little something for an Easter post and watching the rabbits play in their castle. 

Review | Dove Dry Shampoo

What girl could live without dry shampoo? I mean seriously. When you have a fringe, dry shampoo becomes less of a 'Oh I'll just refresh my locks a little' and more 'Christ how has my forehead deposited THAT much oil into my fringe!'. TMI? Probably. But this long winded introduction is essentially to say how much I rely on Dry Shampoo and how many varieties I've tried. From the veteran that is Batiste to other drugstore hybrids, I've now found 'The One'. The Dove Dry Shampoo is as many bloggers have written before me, not laden down with starch like many others. It still gets rid of any oil in the hair, but it does not leave it feeling chalky and heavy. Not to mention, like the entire Dove range, it smells like a dream. In terms of styling uses, I find that it can really 'de-fluff' fresh hair and give it the elusive grit we're all told we want. Even FleurDeForce herself has likened it's styling properties to that of the Orbie Dry Texturising Spray.

At around £4.59 for 200ml it is slightly pricer than Batiste. But oh boy is it worth it.

Let me know if you've tried this & what you thought!
