This week im loving... #1

Soap and Glory Hand Food / Kate Moss for Rimmel, Matte in 107 / Taylor Swift - Wonderstruck / Hello Kitty Travel Cup

Hey beauties..

This is the start of a new weekly feature where I will be showing you a few bits I'm loving that week; the majority of these will be beauty products but I will add in a few fashion and lifestyle items, basically anything I've got a lot of love for at that moment!
I know a lot of the items from this week are spread all over the blogging world but I thought I'd throw in my opinion too.

An item I'd heard a lot about but not got round to trying until last week is Soap and Glory's Hand Food - I bought this in the travel size as I like to keep hand creams in my bag for use throughout the day. This has been great the last couple of days in the freezing cold weather, its smells lovely and is super moisturising = win!

Next up is the very popular Kate Moss Matte lipstick in shade 107 - this is a gorgeous deep berry red colour, it glides onto the lips, lasts really well and suits all skin tones. I'm really loving this dark lips trend, I find it compliments my pale winter skin perfectly and is extremely wearable.

Now I'm not usually one for celeb perfumes but this is a true beauty! It smells as the name sounds - amazingly sweet and super girly. The three main scents that stand out to me are vanilla, raspberry and musk. This has been cheering me up no end on horrible wintery mornings.

A friend bought me this last week, I love getting little gifts that you can see a lot of thought has gone into - this is another one to cheer me up on winter mornings, taking my own tea into classes really brightens up my day :) Thanks Bethany!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend :)

Hey Beauties...

Here's a few photos from the last month or so, I've been saving up enough to do a worthwhile post... It's been a pretty busy couple of weeks what with the new school term starting and juggling work with mine and Molly's very hectic schedules.

In other news season 2 of C4's Fresh Meat started on Tuesday! I absolutely love this programme especially Vod.. So funny, I want to live in the Fresh Meat house. Sadly I've always missed out on a lot of the uni shenanigans (perhaps because I use the word shenanigans?) as I've never lived in halls or anywhere nearby :( Anyhow.. Its a great programme and if you haven't already seen it then defo 4OD it when you get a chance!

Ive got all weekend off work, no assignments due in - A weekend of pure relaxation which I fully plan to take advantage of :) Starting with a bath bomb, a few candles, PJ's and a film. Tomorrow I'm going to hit the shops with my Mum and finish off with a bit of DIY Sunday!

Have you got any plans this weekend??



Love Sian xoxo

FOTD and L.A Colors Precious Plum Review

Hey Beauties...

Just a quick face of the day while I wait for my boyfriend to pick me up (crummy Friday night London traffic permitting). Please excuse my ridiculously bushy brows, I'm trying to leave it as long as possible before I go for my first threading session! Saying that I have found the look of these slowly growing on me, (growing on me, geddit!? Ha.) Keira Knightly style! Oh and my hair is wet hence the super unflattering do!

Anyway... This look is inspired by a lipstick I picked up this week at Beauty Base (full haul post to come) I'd been thinking of investing in a dark wine red colour but wasn't very sure if it would suit me. Seeing as this only cost a super cheap 99p I had nothing to lose! I'm still not sure if it suits me or not, opinions welcome? The formula of the lipstick is smooth and doesn't feel at all drying, it hasn't shown up any dry parts of my lips but this could be down to the layer of Carmex i smothered on first. However I don't like the packaging at all!! Very cheap looking!

I decided to keep the rest of my face pretty simple and allow my lips to do the talking :) I've used Revlon ColorStay Foundation in Light Beige and No7 Loose Light Powder in Fair for my base, lashings of No7 Lash Adapt AND L'oreal Volume Million Lashes Extra Black (I like big volume on my lashes) and filled in my brows with MUA Eyebrow Pencil in Blond.

Have an amazing weekend Beauties :)

Love Sian xoxo
