A love affair - Ted Baker

Deepest apologies to all of you for not blogging in the longest time.. this is the joy of exams *sobs uncontrollably* 

I'm still in the midst of the dreaded things so I'll post when I can and then hopefully more regularly in the summer. 

For now I bring you the latest love in my life. This is something I've admired from afar for a longg time but I just couldn't bring myself to buy it. I couldn't justify the £40 it cost for something so small....yet oh so beautiful. Of course when it was bought for me as a birthday gift I couldn't feel guilty! 

I've been after a Ted Baker make-up bag for a long time. I adored the bright floral neon prints and patent appearance; in the end I opted for something more classic and luxurious looking.

so wait with bated breath no longer, here it is in all its glory.. 

 It's called the 'Galene' bag and is actually branded as a wash bag, but for me its' the perfect size and material to use as a make-up bag. The lighting here makes it look very white, it's more cream with rose gold hardware.

 It's on the Ted Baker site - Here!

The detailing is really quite nice and although the cream lining is not going to stay cream for long, the bag is beautiful. Or at least I think so anyway! 

This is without doubt going to be long and beautiful love affair.

Much Love,

Bargain Beauty

 My newest obsession. For all you ladies who, like me, have a major sweet tooth and love nothing more than digging into a decadent dessert - your time has arrived.

I first heard about these beauties through missglamourazzi on YouTube. She raved and raved about them and I couldn't help but be a bit cynical: "All that over a lip balm? really?"

But right now I eat my words.

I cannot even begin to convey to you how AMAZING these are. Every time I whap out one of these little tins of deliciousness I get that little bit happier, they are sumptuously sweet.

The formula is creamy and wonderfully moisturizing. I would note however that strangely the Caramel Cream seems to be the most moisturizing. 

I don't even know how to begin describing the different scents, they're just beautiful. They even taste great.. I know. And priced at £2.25 a tin at boots I just couldn't say no. 

They were also on a 3 for 2 offer when I got mine so I got one free! wooohoo! The only version I didn't buy was the plain ole' original, who wants to be boring right?

Here's a LINK

I think i'd have to say the Caramel Cream is my ultimate favourite. But I love them all and change them up depending on my mood. If you haven't smelt these you're seriously missing out, pop down to boots and take a whiff; you won't regret it. 

Any of you tried out these new balms? Do you love them as much as me? 

Much love,
