Benefit splurge for the holidays

Most of you have probably had your summer holiday by now, but mine is just around the corner, and I for one cant wait! All that sun, delicious food, fun, frolics and plenty of time to kick back and relax. I've been doing the odd bit of holiday shopping and found myself having a bit of a splurge on some Benefit treats, some of the things I've been wanting to try for a while. A lot of you have probably already got these in your make up bags and tried and tested them all and are not on the slightest bit interested in what I think but I just wanted to share my haul. 

Skinade || Better skin from within

Skinade* is all over social media right now and when I was offered a 30 day trial* I jumped at the chance. Skinade is a drink developed by UK scientists to help boost your body's natural production of collagen and hyaluronic acid. 

Skinade claims to help us achieve better skin from within by taking their liquid supplement on a daily basis.

Another MAC lipstick || Brave

I thought it was about time I got myself another MAC lipstick. Woah, my collection is growing, I now have two!

Lilysilk Silk pillowcase || no more sleep wrinkles

We all want to keep wrinkles at bay for as long as possible right? Although bit late for mine, they''re definitely a permanent fixture on my face :( I often give myself a fright when I look the mirror of a morning to find my face all crumpled up after a night of tossing and turning and shoving my head into a cotton pillow case, well not literally inside the pillow case, because obviously I'd suffocate but you get my drift. I can't be the only one to wake with puffy eyes, wiry bed hair with a life of its own and deep set tram lines around the eyes that take all bloody day to disappear. Can I? I'm a real attractive sight in the morning you know. 

Lush Leicester || Blogger sneak peek

Are you prepared for a Lush overload? Of course you are. We're all Lush lovers, right? If you're not there's something terribly wrong with your brain! Although I'm still fairly new to Lush if I'm honest. Anyway, last Thursday I was invited along to our local Lush store with a bunch of lovely bloggers to have a sneak peek at some of their new products. I'd not met any of the other local bloggers before and I know they're a fairly young bunch, so wasn't sure I'd 'fit' in, but there was no way I was going to miss this opportunity.

Meatcure launch & review || Leicester

Meatcure opened its second restaurant in Leicester last week, their first being in Market Harborough, and Mr C and I were invited along to the launch night and to sample yet more delicious food. I hear what you're saying "do we really need another burger joint in the city?" but burgers will never go out of fashion and there's always room for one more especially when it's a local company doing good, not just another chain.
