Hello new beauty friend! Another palette for my collection. Yes, I already have a full drawer dedicated to palettes and it's almost full but there's always room for another. Especially a do-it-all palette. Palettes that have essential light and dark eye shadows, completion powders to contour and highlight plus a pop of colour of possible. 


There's nothing I love more than do-it-all palettes but is it possible for a perfect palette that has everything? Well the new Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look In A Palette is pretty close!

The Perfect Palette? Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look In A Palette


With the sun very slowly making it’s way out, it’s time to start thinking about summer beauty essentials and bringing out the products which get pushed to the back of cabinet over winter - the most obvious of which begins with a B…and ends with RONZER. 

Yes yes, clever you for guessing, I’m talking about that ultimate shimmery hit of tan which indicates lots of time spent outdoors, doing something extravagantly healthy like volleyball or hiking in the country, or, if you’re less actively-inclined (like me), your tan is obviously gained by stylishly lazing on a nearby coast.




I actually tan quite evenly and easily – the only ever time I had sunburn, I genuinely thought that I’d just suffered an allergic reaction to something!! I kid you not.

Therefore, I’ve only really used matt bronzers before - y'know, for contouring and adding a bit of brahhn and colour to my otherwise uninteresting skin. However, the last winter has really been, what I like to call, an epiphany of glow! I’ve gone from a matte-finish fanatic to a dewy skin seeker. AND, if that wasn’t enough of a change – my promotion last year also means that I can finally treat myself to the occasional high end beauty product! Nice one.




With me so far? Cheap, matte bronzers 2013, fancy, glowy bronzers 2014! I feel like a beautiful bronzed butterfly emerging from the ashes. But what’s the product that I’ve gone for this time?




It’s only the infamous Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick (complete with mini Bobbi Brown Face Blender Brush) HIYA. 

And the good news is.... I'M GIVING ONE AWAY TOO!

MIZSPA GIVEAWAY! Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick

Today it's a cosmetic brand which I'd heard of but not yet tried. Lord & Berry. Doesn't it sound so regal?

Like the responsible blogger I'm trying to be, I did my research, checked out the goods. When I heard Lord & Berry was primarily a fashion-based cosmetics house producing a range of on-trend colours, I was dubious. Cynical almost. HMMMMM. I sometimes find that fashion-based brands focus on the colours and textures but skimp on the quality.

So how did Lord & Berry do?


This week I've been trying the Scuba Waterproof Mascara and the Couture Kohl Kajal Eye pencil.



Again, dubious Zoe Dubs raises her eyebrows. HMMMMM. I've never been a fan of waterproof mascara. Namely because all the ones I've tried have been a poor version of their non waterproof sisters - either too oily, too thin coverage or with a funny smell? Woweee I sound like a right grumpus.
