FF CLXXXI

Katie is putting her own spin on Inktober and I might join in too! 

Christmas at Lush Basingstoke

The best time of year is when Lush release their winter collection, am I right? For the third year, I was invited to a Lush store to celebrate the launch but this time, it was one of my closest stores- Basingstoke. 

Review // Bobbi Brown Eye Definer Brush

I've had my favourite ever eyeliner for almost a year now and still haven't found the perfect brush to apply it. I've tried NARS and Laura Mercier but found nothing suitable to get those cat eye flicks. In the end, I popped instore and asked the staff what the best brush would be, figuring it's better to use a brush that's been designed with this specific product in mind. She showed me a selection but recommended the Eye Definer Brush for my particular needs. 

I've got a new camera so bear with me while I figure out how to use it!

Summer TBR Revisited

I never learn! Even after my summer 2015 goal of 13 books was too ambitious, I still thought it was perfectly feasible to read 15 books this year. Yeah, that didn't happen. I did do much better than last year though and finished 11 of them, which is four more than I managed last time!

OOTD // Simply Be Stripes & Denim

I am into black and white right now like you wouldn't believe. My last outfit post was monochrome and now here I am wearing more black and white. Recently, I realised that autumn is on the way and I haven't got any suitable clothes. Why is it that you buy clothes all year round and then each season somehow have nothing weather appropriate? As if they could sense my predicament, Simply Be came to my rescue with this striped jumper and oversized denim jacket.

Review // Jeffree Star Rose Matter Liquid Lipstick

My wonderful ghoulfriend Sally surprised me with a tube of Jeffree Star's Rose Matter Liquid Lipstick and it was the most fantastic gift! I'd heard great things about his lipsticks (of course, I've also heard lots of not-so-great things about him as a person but for the purposes of this review, I'll focus on the product) so I was super excited to try out my very own tube! 

October Wishlist

Are you bored of blogs banging on about autumn yet? Hopefully not because I've got a snuggly autumnal wishlist coming right up! I'm feeling really excited about this autumn in a way I haven't before (possibly because it's not heralding the back-to-work misery!) and I'm celebrating in the best way I know... buying stuff!
