Not Just For Babies

Could it be that a 'Wonder Product' has been staring us in the face for so long that we haven't even noticed?

Ladies, I'm talking about Johnson's Baby Lotion.

'What!?!?' I hear you cry...

When I run out of a product I tend to turn to this, and it really is a jack of all trades.

I have used this product to moisturise my face. If I don't have my usual moisturiser to hand this works great. It smells really nice and we know it's gentle (that's where the baby bit comes in). Okay, it leaves me slightly shiny, but if used at bed time this is no problem at all. Your bed doesn't judge.
Not only my face, I've used this as a body lotion, hand cream and foot cream. It's great to soak into your toes, put some socks on and let the magic happen. It leaves your feet soft and smelling lovely.

Also, I have used this product as a make up remover. A little squirt on the back of some cotton wool or a cloth, and this removes every last trace. Even mascara, I kid you not. It does a kinda 2 in 1 job, cleans and moisturises as the same time. Who can ask for more than that.

It's something that we all have lying around the house somewhere. I wonder if any of you use this products for it's universal uses??

Lusting after Lustering

Meet my new love.

MAC's Lustering

Sometimes red lipstick can scare me, but not this baby. She makes me feel all fuzzy inside.

It's actually quite a pinky red and as it's a lustre finish it gives a lovely sheen to the lips. It's also really moisturising.

It's a perfect day to night colour, as you can see and is now one of my firm favourites.

Have you tried MAC's Lustering?

Life's Just Rosey

After watching MakeUpGeekTV's YT video on 'How to get rosebud nails' I was super inspired to try my hand at it. I've mentioned before I am not great at nail art but it didn't look too difficult. The only problem is that I don't have any coloured nail art pens, so I had to use some old make up brushes to create the design...

Anyways, here's my effort...

Not perfect...but super pretty :)

I ♥ Sephora

So as I mentioned in my last post, on my recent trip to Krakow I got to lose my Sephora virginity! It was a special moment that I shall look back on fondly....

Enough of that, lets get to the good stuff! What did I get??

All my purchases were Sephora's own brand, since I haven't had the opportunity to try it before and because it was 3 for 2! HA.

Here's my treasure...

First thing I got was this eyeshadow palette in No.13 Pin up show. There were loads of different colours to choose from, but I went for this since I don't really have any pinks, and I really love the sparkly pink/burgundy colour. 

The colours are really versatile and look lovely either on their own or blended in to create a sexy smoky eye. This cost me 75 PLN which equates to roughly £18.

Next, I got this lipstick in the colour 02 Glamour. It's a really gorgeous light pink, and it has a really nice glossy sheen. It's swatched here on the left. It cost 39 PLN or roughly £10, and this was my first freebie :)

The colour on the right is the 3rd item I got, is this lip gloss in the shade The Red Shiny.

What I love most about this is it can be worn as a sheer light red gloss or it can be built up to a very opaque true red which is not at all sticky. This cost me 45 PLN, which is roughly around £11.

The next day I returned to Sephora again (much to the delight of the boy...not!) and picked up 3 nail polishes. They cost 19 PLN each, around £4.50 and I got one of them for free. Score.

I'm A Rich Girl - A dense sparkly gold

Jealous - Pretty pinky coral

Teeny Bikini - A beautiful minty green.

My favourite of the 3 is Teeny Bikini. It applies like a dream and looked lovely after 2 coats.

What are your Sephora must haves?

Dzien Dobry (That's hello FYI)

Sorry no post for almost a week, I've not long returned from a little break in Krakow, Poland. It was my first time visiting Poland, and it was actually my gift to my boyfriend for his 30th Birthday. I was unsure what to expect as I hadn't heard much about the place, and there is a belief that it is always cold there - which it isn't.

We arrived on Sunday to 25 degree heat at 11am. Beautiful. After freshening up we got the tram from our hotel to the city centre. The first amazing sight we saw in Krakow is Wavel Castle.

We also did a guided tour of Auschwitz which was one of the saddest days, but the day I learnt the most. IT really does sicken me to think about what happened, and seeing it all on that day was very overwhelming, but if you visit this part of the world, it's definitely something you should experience.

On the last day we did a city tour, which was really interesting. It was a long day however, 6 and a half hours walking so I was knackered at the end, but worth it. We went round some beautiful and very significant buildings, churches and synagogues.

Every hour there is a man who stands at the top of this church tower and plays the bugle out to the people on the street below and it is very lovely.

Here are a few other pictures from our time away...

Excitingly, I also got to make my first EVER trip to Sephora!! I'll post my loot very soon!!

Have any of you guys been to Krakow? What do you think?
