Review: No.7 Essential Moisture Day Cream

Hi girls, I hope you've all had a fab weekend!

I really REALLY wanted to go to IMATS yesterday, but I was far too ill :[

I hope those of you who went had a lovely time and show us what you bought!

I've been using this moisturiser off and on for the past 6 months so I thought it was about time I wrote a review on it.


I bought this on a whim, I had a spare No.7 voucher and needed a new everyday moisturiser.

It says on the tub it's intended for normal/skin but I have combination/oily skin and have not experienced any problems with using it.



The cream itself is a light pink shade with little or no fragrance.

I use this cream most mornings and evenings after cleansing and I love it. It leaves my skin non greasy and very very soft. It's been a godsend in the winter, cold weather plays havoc with my skin.

It's hard to show on pictures but it leaves an almost luminous glow to the skin, I tried to show this on the above picture and failed miserably!

This is by no means a miracle cream but I think it's very good for the price, especially if you purchase it with a No.7 voucher and I would certainly recommend it!

Available at Boots, normal price £9.00 or £4.00 with a no.7 voucher.

What do you use your No.7 vouchers on?

An update on the love of my life!

I'm full of the flu today so I didn't want to scare you all with a FOTD or something equally as hideous!

Instead I thought I'd show you someone much cuter than myself, the love of my life, my gorgeous nephew!

I did a post about him around 7 weeks ago now just after he was born, he was a poorly little fella and we were all waiting with baited breath to see if he would be ok. Well, he's made an amazing recovery and came home yesterday!

He's still very little and has to take alot of medication but other than that he is a normal healthy little boy!

Now for the cute bit, the pictures, the bit you're all waiting for!


He's made me SUPER broody!!! Tut!

Hope you all have a fab Saturday, I'm spending mine on the sofa surrounded by tissues drinking lots of tea and watching movies!

New Make Up Organisation... LOVE!

Hi dolls!

I couldn't resist showing you all a bargain I picked up today, I've been excited since lunch time when I picked it up...


This is my new make up organiser!

I picked this gorgeous organiser up in W H Smith for £9.99!

I saw it in there a couple of weeks ago and fell in love with it but didn't want to pay £19.99 for it, I was in there today posting a letter & saw it had been reduced to £9.99, I HAD to grab it, they only had 2 left!

I love the cupcake design, they have matches accessories so I might have to grab those too.


As you can see there is a total of 6 drawers ranging in size, perfect for keeping different types of products in!

I had a look online at the W H Smith website but I couldn't find this & I think it's the last of the sale stock so if you wanted to grab one I would recommend checking out your local branch.

I will do an updated make up storage post when I've filled it with my stuff.

What do you keep your make up in?

Review: Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub

Hey dolls, Monday is nearly over, yay!

I had a hectic day at work today and all I wanted to do when I got home was curl up with a cup of tea and watch the soaps, roll on summer I say!

Anyway... to the point of the post...

I'd never tried a lip scrub before this but I saw it mentioned on a few blogs and wanted to give it a try.

It's the Lush Lip Scrub in Bubblegum.

It's simply a sugar exfoliator and it comes in 3 flavours: Bubblegum, Mint Julips & Sweet Lips.

Here is what the product looks like:


As you can see it's in a really cute glass jar & the bubblegum flavour is bright pink, gorgeous!

The only way to describe this product is to say it's exactly like sugar in texture.

I can't vouch for the other flavours but the bubblegum flavour tastes YUMMY! I can't resist licking my lips after using it, tut tut!


I use this product every morning before applying lip balm and it leaves my lips feeling lovely and smooth.

I've had my jar for 3 months now & I've barely made a dent in the jar, so I can imagine it lasting for ages!

I paid £3.50 for my 25g jar, I'm afraid I can't check the current selling price because the lush site is currently down but I can't imagine it being much different.

I'd love to try the other flavours, have you tried any of them?

NOTD: China Glaze - Seduce Me

Hi girls, I hope you've all had a fab weekend!

I know I've been a bad blogger of late and I apologise! But I do have lots of exciting posts planned this week so keep your eyes peeled! :)

When I did my latest nail polish haul a few people asked to see Seduce Me... so I thought I'd show you all!

China Glaze - Seduce Me

As you can see it's a gorgeous raspberry shade, if you're scared of red nails this is a lovely transition colour.

The application was nice, opaque in 2 coats, I do however find China Glaze brushes a little small.

I wore this shade last week and it lasted 3 days without chipping, I only removed it because I wanted a change.

I can't wait for Spring so I can start wearing brighter nail polish again, what are your favourite spring polishes?
