Lifestyle: Mothers Day Gift Ideas

Ah Mothers Day, that day when we spoil and treat the true QUEENS in our lives.

  They can be a little hard to buy for sometimes, so I have put together a gift guide that may help - or offer some inspiration.

Beauty: The Eye - Shadow Palette Edit.

So am gonna put it out there, eyeshadow is probably my least favourite make-up product. I don't really buy any palettes, I don't feel I am that good at it. I do have a collection of palettes, as I am constantly trying to improve my application skills.

So I have whittled them down, and will be talking about the four I do use, love and would recommend. This edit is probably for the guys and gals who are just dipping their toes in the whole eye-shadow world, so if Lisa Eldridge & Charlotte Tilbury could look away now, well that would be great.

Food: Spinach and Carrot Tortilla

I eat porridge every day through the week for my breakfast, it's quick, low-fat and filling, and I can shovel it in whenever I get a break in work.

So at the weekend I really do love to try different recipes, and well these tasty tortillas are quick, tasty, easy and low-fat. 

Beauty: The 5 Minute Face!

So with the dark mornings STILL here, the longer in bed the better huh?

So " The 5 Minute Face " is necessary and much needed. These are the typical products I have been grabbing for when I need a quick dash out the door, but don't want to go scaring any humans in the process.

Beauty: Charlotte Tilbury - Love Liberty

I thought I would chat about my most favourite lipstick at the mo.

I have wore this most days since Christmas, and love everything about it. 

The packaging is exactly the same as the previous K.I.S.S.I.N.G  lipsticks. 

Beauty || Clarins Huile Santal Face Treatment Oil

I have been using a facial oil every other night for around a year now. The Clarins Huile Santal Face Treatment Oil is one I hadn't read or heard much about.

Now I tried the other more famous ones in the range. Lotus (oily/combination skin) and Blue Orchid (dehydrated skin).

What stood out for me with the Santal oil was EVERYTHING! It has a 100% plant formula and the essential oils are free from preservatives. You know when you read a description of a product and it seems like it was made especially for you?
