REVIEW: AVON "NOT SO NEUTRAL" PALETTE

Ever since I was a lot younger I have been flicking through the Avon catalogue. Mum would always have one and I'd be obsessed with going through all the perfume pages and rubbing my wrists on the pages. And mum used to let me buy a face mask every so often from it and I probably thought I was the bees knees.

I still love having a look through the Avon when mum brings it home (her friend at work is a rep!). They have really great products and really affordable too. Their eyeshadow primer is my absolute favourite. I think it's £7 when it's full price but it always seems to have some kind of discount - I think mine was £4!

The other month I was dawn to the 8-in-1 Eyeshadow Palette in "Not So Neutral". It was £8 for 8 eyeshadows - bargain! - and the most perfect colours for me.

Avon can be a little off putting as you can only go off online or in a catalogue. You can't swatch so you have to hope for the best really. But I am in love with this palette..! Read on for the lowdown!

FOTD: PURE RED LIPS

I wore this makeup to my sister's birthday meal last week. I was going to upload in the week but then I got poorly and I ended up going out yesterday so today will do, I'm sure!

I recently bought one of the new L'Oréal red lipsticks and I'm absolutely loving it so here it is in action..!

CURRENT EVERYDAY AM + PM SKINCARE ROUTINE

I've mentioned a few times in previous posts over the last month or so that I would give you a little update on my skincare routine.
I've done a big Sunday Night Routine post at the start of the year (though it's a little outdated now..) but this is what I do to my skin on an every day basis.

You may or may not be able to tell that I enjoy products from The Body Shop... Because I've definitely never mentioned it before... Ahem.

Their products are just really good and affordable and do their job. (They aren't paying me to say that but if they need a new cheerleader, then I am available...)

UNSUNG HEROES: BENEFIT'S POREFESSIONAL

Time for another of my Unsung Hero products. You can see the others from so far in this series by clicking here.

Today's installment can hardly actually be called "unsung" especially in the beauty world, but I have never really sang my praises for it. So, enter The POREfessional...

HOLIDAY IN KALITHEA, RHODES

So, Summer is officially over for me. It had started getting cooler hear the last few weeks but I knew I was heading over to Greek island, Rhodes at the end of September so until that was over, it was still summer!

LONDON FASHION WEEK: S/S15

Yep. It's that time already. Time for another season of Fashion Weeks across the globe to showcase the forthcoming season's new trends. I love what London have to offer. The designers just have something about them that the other fashion capitals just don't.

Having said that, I wasn't overly excited for kick off day this season like I usually am. Maybe as I'm struggling a lot to find clothes I actually like these days and I'm getting more into beauty? Who knows. I've never actually been to LFW. I just have to stick to the live stream over my laptop but one day I'd love to say I've actually been to a show.

ANYWAY...

Here's a look at my favourite collections from over the week...

BIRCHBOX: SEPTEMBER 2014

I've been subscribed to Birchbox for about half a year or so and one month I think I'll unsubscribe because it's been a bit disappointing but then I get a really good box the next month and feel I should hold off another month just in case...

September's offering landed on the doorstep a few days ago and its contents are bloody brilliant.

THE BODY SHOP "NAILS + ARGAN" EVENT

Last weekend I was invited to my local The Body Shop for an event to celebrate the launch of their new Argan Oil range, as well as the brand new addition to the Colour Crush collection, the nail polish collection.
