Another way to shop

Image
You can now shop at Matalan online, yay! They have a selection of clothing from their Et Vous, Soon and Rogers & Rogers collections. If you need to return an item, you can either post it back or return to a store. My pick has to be this gorgeous purple prom dress, £35. It's beautiful and just what I need for the party season. If only they'd get their shoes on the site too, I'd never have to go out of my way to visit the store! www.matalanonline.co.uk

MAC Hello Kitty Confirmed

Image
The beauty world is abuzz with the news that MAC are collaborating with Hello Kitty. It's a partnership that has long been talked about and I know a lot of ladies that can't wait to get their hands on everything! The release scheduled for February/March time is a much anticipated slot, with the 2008 Fafi and 2007 Barbie collections being huge. From what I've seen and heard the range is split into an affordable line (Hello Kitty Colour Collection) and more exclusive, high-end (Hello Kitty Kouture). The Colour Collection (available everywhere) includes, six lipsticks with names like Fashion Mews and Strayin’, six lipglass shades and two tinted lip conditioners. Two quad eyeshadow palettes in Lucky Tom and Too Dolly, two shades of pigment and two Reflects Glitter stockkeeping units one blue, one pink (?). Four Glitter Eye Liners, two shades of Beauty Powder, three shades of nail polish, a black mascara and false lashes. There is also petite and medium makeup bags While the Kit...

Scale new heights for L.A.M.B.

Image
I keep telling myself that the day will come when I own a pair of L.A.M.B. shoes. I fall in love with at least a couple of pairs every season and drool over them until ASOS get around to reducing them in their sale. This is when I try to persuade myself that the new price of £100+ isn't really that much money considering they have already been reduced by that much. During this battle between my bank and my heart, my size is usually sold out and the decision out of my hands. Then the next week ASOS start stocking a whole new collection for me to repeat the process. So when I saw these lush new booties on the site , I was more determined than ever to let my heart win the battle. Each pair cost £289, so I'll definitely need a drastic reduction before I can justify spending on them. I think I (just by a tiny bit) prefer the peep toe version with scale-like frills all over. The suede pairs feature a smaller version of the scales down the front, concealed platform and contrast stit...

Lancome Blues

The beautiful new Lancome colour collection is out now. It's based around deep blue, silver and red. I adore the Diva Magic Powder £28, it looks so sparkly in the promo image (above), so I'll definitely be checking that out in real life. There is a new 4 eyeshadow Color Focus Palette £30.50 in Blue Enigma as well as 2 new single Color Design eyeshadows (above) £12 in 510 Holly Blue (deep denim blue) or 509 Silver Forever (light simmery grey). Juicy Tubes have been revamped as 'Juicy Black' £13.50 in shades 52 Sparkling Ava (shimmering silver) or 50 Red Gilda (holiday red). I've heard there are also 2 new shades of Color Fever lipstick, although there are no details of that on the Lancome site. As well as this, the rare Le Magnetique nail polish £15 (that magnetically creates a star pattern on the nail after application) has been produced in a gorgeous shimmering dark blue 02 Blue Enigma, a must-have. The collection should be available now at counters nationwide. Un...

Wilbur & Gussie Charlie Clutch

Image
Look at these cute Wilbur & Gussie 'Charlie' bags from Koodos . I love the simple shape adorned with a brooch fastening, plus they come in an array of colours and prints (pink polka dot is my fave), so you could have a different one for every day of the week. You are saving £35 of the rrp of £130, so they are £95 each, plus there is an extra 10% off all handbags on the site just now (automaticlly deducted at checkout).
