Project Clear Skin Starts With Clarins!!

Hi Ladies!!

I have had enough of my problem skin and so have decided to completely change my skin care. As I work on a make up counter, I decided to seek advice from the counter next to me which was Clarins. I've never used anything from Clarins before but was very impressed with everything id heard about them as well as the lovely ladies who work on the counter having amazing skin!!


I came away with this little lot and so far im very impressed. I will do more in depth reviews when I have used the products for a longer amount of time but even the cleanser feels so luxurious, I love it.
I purchased the cleanser, toner, face wash, moisruriser and eye cream.
All of the above (apart from the eye cream) are for combination/oily skin which is great for me. The eye cream is for all skin types for the first signs of aging. I decided to start using it as I am 26 now and feel that I should really start to look after my skin.

At the moment in Debenhams, if you spend over £30 on Clarins products (one to be skincare) you can pick 3 travel-plus size products out of 10 for free!!


I chose the exfoliating cleanser, body lotion and the multi-active day cream to try to see if I need to start using anti aging stuff yet.
These are all really good sized products to get for free and id really recommend having a look if you use Clarins as there's loads of different products to choose from!!


I've only been using these for a couple of days but they all feel amazing on my skin and im keeping my fingers crossed for some fab results!!

Do you use Clarins skin care?! Which products do you recommend?!

New Years Resolutions - Blog More!!


Happy New Year Beautiful Girlies!!

I cant believe that its 2012 already, where did last year go?! Last year ended with me getting a new job but becoming single and I found that both of these things stopped me from blogging :-(

However, new year, new start so thought i'd start off by updating you all with a few pics from December. It was a very busy month for me, as well as working in retail (which was chaos), it was my Dads 60th Birthday, my 26th Birthday (eeeekk, im so old) as well as Christmas and New Year. Phew.

So here's just a few pics as a quickn update and normal (consistant) blogging will resume from today!!

Me looking very happy at something (Think I was a bit tipsy)

Me and my Brother obviously looking at the wrong camera!!

Posh place in Edinburgh that we went to eat in for my Dads Birthday, it was very Christmasy :-)

Im off now to decide on my New Year Resolutions, have you made any?! If so i'd like to know what they are :-)

Project Clear Skin

Hi Girlies!!

As you all know now, im currently going through a break up and its taking its toll on my skin, BIG TIME!!

Im not sure if its the stress of having to move out of my ex's and back in to my parents or just all the upset but my skin has never looked so bad, not even when I was a teenager.

So I thought I would share the few products that have become my little life savers.


I decided to try the Vichy Normaderm moisturiser as id seen it on a few other blogs and had heard great reviews on it. It claims to have a hydra-peeling effect technology that can give you healthy looking and luminous skin in 7 days. It reduces the look of imperfections, gives a matte finish and offers 24hr hydration.
It states on the box that its great for clogged pores, shine, imperfections and irregular texture and I can say it has been amazing on my oily skin!!
My skin is shine free all day and it doesnt feel greasy either which is a bonus.

Estee Lauder Double Wear, need I say more?! Holy Grail foundation!!

My new little discovery is Urban Decay's Surreal Skin Mineral Make up.


When I started working for Urban Decay, I was very intrigued by this as its a mineral make up that offers a full coverage.
After buying it and using it, I can say it does just that!! I apply this over my Double Wear as a finishing powder although you can use it on its own too.
It gives amazing coverage and a gorgeous flawless finish. The powder comes through the little sponge attached and you just pat it on your skin. I love this product and would recommend it to everyone!!


With all of my make up on, my skin doesnt look too bad but trust me, when I take it all off, I look like an acne covered teenager and its really getting me down. :-(

What do you recommend for spotty, oily, acne prone skin?!

Sometimes It Lasts In Love, But Sometimes It Hurts Instead

Hi Ladies,

I thought id take the time to update all of my lovely blogger friends on why ive been absent on the blog scene for such a long time.

I have recently split up with my boyfriend of 2 years and it was his decision.

Im sure most of you have experienced this at some point in your life but its been the first time that I have been "dumped" and ive not really known what to do with myself.

I know in the long run that it was probably the best thing for us as we just didnt work together and were always arguing but its still really hard when you love someone.

Its been quite a stressful time as just before we split up, I had the chance to change the company that I work for and was really happy about that even though it meant more interviews and a stressful time.
I got the job though so its not all been bad and im sooo happy in my new job and love, love, love it so far!!

My new job is working for:


I love going to work and be able to share my passion for Urban Decay products and wearing false lashes on a daily basis has bought out a whole new me!!

With my new job and trying to deal with a break up, I kind of lost interest in blogging as I didnt want to bore you all to tears but I have been keeping up to date on reading all of your blogs and a lot of them have taken my mind off things and helped to cheer me up!!

Hopefully now i'll be back to blogging properly :-)


Still smiling!!

How have you dealt with a break up before?!

Twycross Zoo

Hi Girlies!!

Today me and the bf went to Twycross Zoo. I love it there as there's just so many monkeys as well as other animals to look at.
The main reason I wanted to go was that they now have some baby snow leopard cubs and I really wanted to see them while they are still small.

We also saw some baby meerkats, a baby orangutan and loads of guinea pigs (which I love!!)

I just thought I would share some photos with you all as its a little bit different from my usual posts, Enjoy!!










I got bought my own little snow leopard cub :-)

Has anyone been to Twycross before?! Hope you all had a lovely day in the sun!!

Maybelline The Colossal Cat Eye's Mascara

Hi Ladies!!

I recently picked up one of Maybelline's newest addition to their mascara range, which is of course their The Colossal Cat Eye's Mascara.
I was intrigued to try it as I do actually like a lot of Maybelline's mascaras and was interested to see how this one was any different.


I really like the brush of this mascara, its curved but not too big, so its great for catching every lash.


I found this mascara great for lengthening and defining my lashes but it didnt really do much for adding volume or creating curl which is something that I am always looking for!!


Also, it didnt really add any great length to the outer few lashes as it kind of claims to do but I wasn't expecting it to really. I dont think any mascara could actually help with that.

I really like this mascara and i've been wearing it everyday at work without it smudging or flaking.

Its available now priced at £7.99 but currently its £2 off in Superdrug!!


Have you tried this yet?! What did you think of it?!
