Tesco Everyday Value Facial Wipes


I bought these completely by accident. I was doing my usual online food shop and added these, thinking they were tissues. In my defence, they were listed as facial tissues! They were less than 50p so I wasn't too upset.

Eylure Katy Perry Lashes: Review


I love how false lashes look when properly applied, they can really enhance a strong eye look. These were buy one get one free in Superdrug so I treated myself. I really don't wear them very often because of my love hate relationship with them; sometimes they go on a dream and other times I end up poking myself in the eye and ruining all my make up. I am a fan of the 'cool kitty' lashes for a night out and I thought I'd try 'oh, honey!' lashes for a demure look.
They come with pretty good Eylure glue (which smells horrific) and full instructions for application if you're not sure how to go about getting them on your eyelids.
They are reusable, provided you don't smush them completely out of shape when you take them off- which is great because I don't really want to throw something that costs 5.00 out after just one use.

do you wear false lashes? Love or hate??

Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer



I always look terrible in winter, my skin goes a funny sallow yellow and I get massive under eye bags. The last few months have been particularly stressful for me so I've not been getting much sleep. After a particularly tiring day at work I went and treated myself to this, the Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Beige. I was tired of customers looking at me like I was a zombie, clearly the concealer i'd smeared on that morning wasn't very effective.

CND Scentsations Review


I found these babies in TKMaxx for 3.00, online they were about 16.99 at Christmas time. CND is the genius brand behind the good shellac, that doesn't chip and grow out funky.

Soap&Glory Heel Genius Foot Cream


I treated myself to this before Christmas but havn't gotten around to using it much. During the winter months, i'm not too bothered about how my feet are, beyond the usual painted nails. As spring approaches I'm more concerned about my feet, I want them to look half way decent in sandals and moisturising them properly is the first step (sorry). 
This cream smells good and soaks in nice and quick, I wouldn't quite say its better than a pedicure but it's great if you're giving yourself one at home.
have you tried this?
xoxo  Kirsty

January 2013 Empties



I know I've not done an empties post in FORever, but that's because I've had no empties. I've spent the last month trying to use up all the half empty things in my bathroom.
