Skincare Review | Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

When it comes to skincare, I have always been a Nivea girl but recently I've been on the hunt for the one holy grail product that ticks all the boxes. I started experimenting with a combination of the Aveeno daily moisturising lotion and the Aveeno body wash - big mistake. These products did nothing for my dry and sensitive skin, my skin was constantly irritated and it didn't feel moisturised. After ranting about how let down I was my mum suggested I try the Elizabeth Arden 8hr Cream Intensive Moisturising Body Treatment (that’s a mouthful). For the most part it does what it says on the box: This moisturizing treatment saturates your skin with the hydration it craves to reverse dryness and flaking. Leaves your skin soft, smooth and hydrated for up to eight hours. 

What I Wore | Airplane Edition

Cardigan | Jersey Top | Tote Bag | Jeans | Flats

I can't explain how good it feels to be posting on my blog again,there's nothing more therapeutic than hitting that publish button. I am currently on my much needed Easter holiday, so my posts will be much more consistent. I thought sharing what I wore on my eight hour flight here would be a good way to ease back into blogging.

Drugstore Beauty Supplies

Superdrug Eyelash Curlers (buy here)/Real Techniques Core Collection (buy here)/ Boots Sponge-Wedges (buy here)/ Cosmopolitan Beauty Blender (buy here)

I recently stepped into Boots with the aim of replacing a few items (disposable sponges, new tube of lipstick and so on) and came out with more shopping bags than I bargained for. I frequently get carried away in there, trying out new products, oohing and aahing at all the the shiny things, taking a whiff of perfume samples; I take my sweet time. Anyway, I thought I would share with you guys, some of my staple drugstore beauty supplies/tools you might want to check out when next you're in Boots, Superdrug or any other drugstore near you.

   Shirley Eniang of Shirley's Wardrobe 

   I love everything about Shirley's style, it's simple and effortlessly chic. 

          Ashley Madekwe of Ring My Bell

  I first fell in love with her in Revenge without knowing she had a blog, once I discovered her blog, she became an instant favourite. Ashley has one of  those blog's where you immediately click on whatever she posts and then somehow proceed to spend hours scrolling through the entire thing.

Leftovers in Brixton Village

After some vicious elbowing, I have finally managed to grab a stool in Federation Coffee. I am in heaven right now with my Flat White and chocolate cheesecake brownie but this post isn't about my addiction to brownies and good coffee (more on that later). This post is all about a pocket sized shop called Leftovers which happens to be a one stop shop for antique fashions and exquisite vintage finds. Think pre-fifties clothing, lace, unbelievable intricacy, victorian frocks, woollen jumpers and as though that wasn't good enough, fair prices.
