Life: I'm Going To The U.S.A!

Hi lovelies,

Earlier this year I applied to do a cultural exchange placement as a Summer Camp Counselor in the U.S.A, as some of you may already know.

After lots of planning and preparation (and a little bit of worrying) I have some exciting news! At the end of last week I was lucky enough to be obtain a placement at an amazing Summer camp. I fly out to the USA tomorrow and I'm returning to the UK in late August. Things will be quiet on my blog whilst I'm away, but please stick with me as I'm sure I'll have some exciting posts to share when I'm back home.

Lots of love,

Beauty: My Perfect Pamper Night

After a long day at work there's nothing I love to take a little bit of time to treat myself to a relaxing pamper night, so when the lovely people at Victoria Plumb invited me to share my pamper night routine I jumped at the chance.  

Here's a few elements that help to make my perfect pamper night:

A Hot Bath/Shower - If I fancy a mid-week pamper night I'll opt for a hot shower, however at the end of the week I tend prefer to have a long soak in a hot bath. For me, the bath is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a busy day.To make my baths extra indulgent I like to add a LUSH bubble bar or bath bomb to my bath (I'm still using up the products I bought in the LUSH boxing day sale.)

A Face Mask -Whilst I'm relaxing in the bath I like to apply a face mask. My current favourite is Origins Out Of Trouble which is perfect for my problem skin. 

Review: Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation

It's been a while since I last tried a drugstore foundation, I usually stick with my beloved Estee Lauder Double Wear Light foundation. Unfortunately my last tube ran out and I wasn't able to repurchase so instead I decided to try the Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation.

Now in no way am I trying to say that the Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation is a dupe for Estee Lauder Double Wear - it's not - but I think it's a good product in its own right.

Now I don't like to start a review with a negative but the Bourjois 123 Perfect foundation is currently only available in around 5 shades. Being the honest person that I am I don't think the shade range is varied enough (Bourjois please can you add more shades to the range?) 

Anyway, the shade I went for is 'Light Beige' which can be a teeny tiny little bit too dark for me when I've not faked tanned, but that's not too much of a problem as recently I have been fake tanning quite regularly.
