Pink Haired Princess

Yes, you read it correctly, I managed to buy all this for £3! Impressive huh?  There's a few stockists I buy Clarins from, but I've placed a couple of orders direct with them. They always have really neat ' gifts with purchase ' and I like that you get to choose 3 free samples with every order (and there's a big choice). I've realised I'm one of those people that almost always goes onto buy the full-size version after trying a sample, so they're onto a good thing there! However, what you're really wanting to know is how it cost me £3. Well they have a loyalty rewards scheme and despite making the majority of my purchases elsewhere, I managed to quickly reach a £15 reward. It expires next month (I actually had willpower and didn't immediately spend it, FYI it lasts for 6 months), so I took the opportunity to buy something when they had their sale after Christmas. I've been light on funds lately, so it was a welcome treat. They had ...

I've been dropping hints in several posts and even released a similar image to the one above as a teaser back in November last year. However, it's finally here, my brand new beauty feature, titled "Too Pretty To Swatch" (not exactly catchy, but I'm all brainstormed out). How many times have you heard me say in a beauty haul post "it's too pretty to use", "I can't swatch it yet, it's too pretty", "I don't want to touch and ruin it"? A lot ! Probably 95% of my beauty posts contain at least one item that I'm too scared to use, because the palette/lipstick/whatever is too pretty and I know by sticking my finger in, it'll be ruined forever. Most of the time, they are costly too, so it's that battle of 'it's too expensive to ruin, but too expensive not to use'!  Just today I unearthed this 'little' lot of YSL limited editions. Ten whole palettes that have been kept untouched for years. I...

What a busy week it has been and an ace post to round off with, my new Irregular Choice unicorn heels! They arrived today and I wanted to take photos right away to share with you!  They are every bit as wonderful as I expected them to be. With every other statement heel release, I've been rather strict and stuck to the one style I wanted most (well Santa only came in one form). I really wanted Thundrella (gnomes) more than the Chuckles pair I got, but as mine were released first, I bought them for fear of Thundrella never coming out and me missing out altogether. I've more than worn my gnomes though and absolutely love the style and colour I got, so I'm happy I got that style in the end and am not too sad about the other pair. This release was unicorns though and I'm completely and totally obsessed with them as most of you know. Thankfully the styles were all being released on the same day, so I was able to choose from all seven at once. As I love unicorns so ...
