Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette

Image
This eyeshadow palette has featured heavily on my Instagram feed since I bought it at the beginning of the month... and there's a really good reason why......it's fantastic .  I didn't go into this purchase lightly either.  It was something I had been looking at for ages, reading and watching online reviews and making sure that if I was to succumb to the hype, it was going to be worth it.  And I can honestly say it really is.  This is the third of the Too Faced Chocolate-themed palettes.  If you don't know the interest surrounding this palette, it isn't just the fact that they have such great colours, there is also the fact the eyeshadows smell like chocolate! Yep....chocolate!  I expected the scent to hit me as soon as I opened the lid, it doesn't (which I actually like as it isn't overpowering)... but once you pop your brush onto a shadow....oh my life.... it is just soooo good!  Cocoa powder is known for its anti-oxidant qualities and its ability as a m

Review: My Little Box - August 2016

It only feels like yesterday that I was writing my first blog review on the My Little "Coconut" Box from July.  Usually time seems to go in slow motion and I count the days until the next box but as I've been away on holiday, it has speeded up the process and my delivery was waiting for me when I got home!  Just what I needed to see after a two day journey home from the South of France!

The first thing on top of the beautifully packaged bundle is a card with the words "In Girlsquad We Trust" on one side and on the other are a few paragraphs about girls supporting each other, how we work so well together and how the creators and founders of My Little Box came together to share their dream.

Summer holiday season is here again!! For me, this always means lists upon lists need to be started, shopping needs to be commenced and most importantly, the task of trying to fit my entire make up collection into one teeny, tiny little pouch begins! Every year I wish somone had finally gotten round to inventing a Mary Poppins-esque cosmetics bag where I can just chuck everything into and off I go! But no! At the time of writing this I'm pretty sure that hasn't happened (yet) so over the past few months I've been trying really hard to scale down my holiday make-up must-haves.  If you've read my last blog post (if not and you would like to, you can click here ) you'll know that I had a little bit of a weight issue last year with my make-up bag and although this year we are travelling by car and not plane, I know Mr Shopaholic_kh is watching me with eagle eyes making sure I don't make the same mistakes again! The one thing I've done differently this year i
