Chocolate and makeup are two of my favourite things, so upon discovering Too Face had created an eyeshadow palette combining the two, I was more than a tad excited. I was lucky enough to receive this for my birthday a couple of weeks ago, and after only a few days in my possession, I’m in … Continue reading
When it comes to applying makeup, I’m incredibly lazy. I know, I know… the irony as I’m a beauty blogger and all, but, if there was a single product that could make me go from Chewbacca to Miranda Kerr in an instant, I’d be buying it by the bucketload- regardless of price.

On Saturday I was treated to a Bobbi Brown makeover at their Selfridges counter after having booked it a couple of weeks ago for a little bit of pampering and the chance to look decent on a Saturday afternoon (for once).
