Its the little things...
I got this sweet gift from my lovely little sister at the weekend, how cute is the little bird?! (the box is super pretty to! Very Cath Kidston!) Im still trying to figure out where to hang it. It was a thank you gift, which I wasn't expecting at all...surprise gifts are always the best :)
Hope all you lovelies are having a great week & enjoyed making pancakes! Me and the boy completely forgot it was pancake day, so we've decided to make some tomorrow instead...I'm thinking pancakes with nutella and banana umm :) On another random note, I can't believe Valentines Day has come rolling round again! I really need to get my ass into gear and get the boy a card and gift! lol!

YSL Shocking! ...
YSL Shocking Mascara £19.55 feelunique.com (on sale)
I'm a sucker for the YSL packaging! Gold, sleek and so damn pretty! I picked this little beaut up a while ago and realised that I haven't stopped using it since.
Iv had this product for a while but I never thought to review it as I'm still searching for "the one" for me when it comes to mascara. It wasn't until I realised that I had pretty much used it up and was thinking of repurchasing it that I knew I had to review it!

The brush doesn't look much in the picture, but it coats the lashes like a dream! It doesn't clump together, it holds a curl in my lashes and doesn't give me the dreaded panda eyes! Its not a waterproof mascara but stays on the lashes all day and doesn't slide off and end up half way down my face like other non waterproof mascaras.
When it comes to mascaras, I do prefer high end as I find that I need to use more product to get the look I want. I'd highly recommend giving this a go, I'm defo going to repurchase - I think this may be the first repurchase of a mascara iv used!
Hope all you beauts are having a great weekend! ...For once I'm looking forward to Monday - I have the day off :)

Topshop - Head Over Heels...
| Topshop Blush in Head Over Heels £6.00 |
After swatching the various blushes my local Topshop had to offer, I decided on 'Head Over Heels' (I just love the names that topshop have for all their beauty products!). Its a lovely coral colour, I know it looks quite bright in the picture but once blended into the skin, is a lovely muted pinky coral colour.
This is a lightweight cream to powder blush that melts into the skin giving a natural luminous and radiant finish. Applied onto the apples of your cheeks, its perfect for that rosy glow.
To me, its unscented and for someone with sensitive skin, it hasn't broken me out yet - winner! I'm defo going to be checking out more of the Topshop makeup line! Iv already got my eye on a few more things!

Origins: Out Of Trouble Mask...
Origins Out Of Trouble 10 Minute Mask - £20.00
I suffer with combination skin - normal skin, I have an oily t-zone and normal to dry cheeks. The past month or so, my t-zone has gone into over drive and iv had some breakouts on my forehead and chin *sad face*! I needed some help!I was scouring the blogesphere to see what remedies I could find and the word on the street was that Origins was THE go-to skin care brand! I do have quite sensitive skin also, so I needed to find a brand that was gentle.
After scouring the Origins website, I came across this ...I also came across a few other things, but I will leave them for another post!...lets just say im glad I hit the purchase button!
It looks almost creamy but it has that clay mask texture, if you know what I mean! lol its got a sort of chalky feeling about it. I t applies easily and the great thing about this is you leave it on for 10 minutes and it actually drys in 10 minutes, none of that waiting around, is it dry, is it not dry nonsense! after 10 minutes I wipe this off with a muslin cloth and warm water.
After this mask, I really noticed a difference in the areas that I applied it to! They were no longer an oily mess and its really helped my break outs, my skin feels fresher, slightly toned and it helped dry out any blemishes I had.
I would totally recommend this product! I only apply this to my t-zone, I wouldn't recommend this if you had dry skin as I think this would dry it out even more, this is defo one for more oily skin types. I use this once ever 2 or 3 weeks and I defo notice an improvement after iv used it! In case you were wondering, it does have a fragrance to it, it has a herbaly tea tree type of smell, I kinda like it tho so it doesn't bother me! You also get 100ml of product, I know Origins can be quite expensive, so in my opinion, I think the £20 price tag isn't actually that bad!
If you can, I defo recommend picking up a sample of this stuff to try out!
Hope all you lovelies had a great Monday!
