A Feel Unique Haul - why not?!


Seasons change and I get my usual compulsion to sign on to Feel Unique and see what great deals I can unearth.  I've used this website for quite a while now and always enjoy shopping from the comfort of my sofa. So today I thought I would share my recent haul as a way to help justify the splurge!

 Face:
I treated myself to my tried and tested Maybelline-New-York-Eraser-Eye-Concealer, but thought I'd try mixing it up with the  Rimmel-Wake-Me-Up-Concealer this time.  I purchased the shade "True Ivory" and have to say it is a little orange for my pale untanned skin, however it blends well and layers nicely under my favourite Maybelline. I also bought a few lip products from NYX Cosmetics in the hope it would encourage me to wear more colour on my lips (I tend to just throw on some lip balm and hope for the best to be honest). I chose 2 butter glosses and one matte liquid lipstick (nyx/lips) and whilst I like the products I do not reach for them every day so probably not worth the cost for someone like me. Lastly for make up I was looking for a clear brow gel, but instead thought I'd give Maybelline-New-York-Brow-Drama-Sculpting-Brow-Mascara a go instead.  It is very like a mascara, so I have to watch out for the odd brown clump of product, but overall it is doing its job ok. I will return to a clear gel next though as is less hassle (I am gifted with full bushy eyebrows so don't have to do much else to them). Finally I treated myself to my all time favourite face mask the Origins-Drink-Up-Intensive-Overnight-Mask-to-Quench-Skins-Thirst.  I have oily/combination skin and find the day after I use this mask my skin is plumper, softer and generally feels in much better health.

Nails:
Time for a new spring/summer colour and I decided to go for something slightly out of my comfort zone and went with the Nails-inc-Coconut-Bright in the shade SoHo Gardens.  I love this colour (especially on my toes), it's so bright and smacks of summer.  The product is great too as goes on really smoothly with good coverage. I also purchased some Bourjois-Instant-Dry-Nail-Drops as I'm forever ruining my nails being so impatient for them to dry.  These have been fantastic - they dry the nail varnish really quickly and mean I can get on with my life not literally sit watching nail paint dry!

OK I'm stopping now as I can feel myself being drawn back to the website!

 Have you ever tried any of these products?  Would you buy them again?

Meet My Lucy

Sometimes the struggle of balancing a blog with "normal life" gets the better of us.  Motivation is there but physical energy is low.  I'm having one of those weeks.  I have all these ideas I want to share, but my mind is scattered to a million different places.  I fear I would not do them justice. So instead I decided to share with you one of the loves of my life...my fur baby Lucy: She is a 4 year old English Springer Spaniel and very cheeky. Things she loves most in the world are tennis balls, chewing and rolling in things we wish she would not. As a puppy she was a handful, but she has grown up to be the softest, most gentle dog in the world.   Even our friends who "hate dogs" find themselves falling for her doe eyes and cuddly manner. No matter how bad my day, coming home to her excited wiggly bum always brightens my mood.   I'd be lost without her now. Thank you to my Dad for taking these fantastic action

At the moment I am trying my hardest to re-establish my daily & weekly routines. Luckily these are routines I'd pretty much cracked before I recently  fell ill , so I am optimistic I will get back in the swing from now. Being forced to take a break from the routines has actually been an opportunity to start afresh and rethink a few things. Why have an evening routine? Well for me it helps set me up for the next day with the right attitude, gets stuff out of my head before bedtime so I sleep better and helps keep the next day a little less stressful. My Current Evening Routine: wash dishes and clean up kitchen counters sweep kitchen floor check menu plan and take out of freezer as required/slow cooker prep. pick out and layout clothes for the next day general house pick up, take stuff back upstairs, put away dry laundry, etc. update my planner and check next day plans put dishes away get ready for bed and relax You'll notice I concentrate main

July Goals 2016

Image
Given my poor performance in June I have decided to only go for two goals this month. July should be a month of BBQs and beer gardens but in typical UK style the weather is interfering with that plan.  So instead I'm going to use this month as an opportunity to deep clean the house. Yes the whole house. "No way" I hear you cry but there are two motivational factors for me that guarantee I will do it... 1) I have a week off work and will be spending Monday to Friday mostly on my own, as boyfriend is working, so may as well apply myself usefully. 2) I have my too oldest friends coming to stay for the weekend soon.  I cannot let them witness the dog hairs rolling around the floors! So I'm feeling quite optimistic about achieving that one. I've been debating my second goal quite a lot. Swinging from a blog based one to a lifestyle one. The winner is...blog based. Since my May Goals , I have managed to consistently blog twice a week, except for one
