The 2012 Designer Pudsey Collection

The 2012 Designer Pudsey Collection

I think Katie Grand's (Love magazine editor) idea of having designers club together to create a collection of Pudsey bears to be auctioned off to charity is amazing. Not only is it interesting to see all their unique twists on the iconic, originally yellow bear, but every single penny goes straight to Children in Need, supporting great causes improving the welfare of disadvantaged children and young people in the United Kingdom.

I definitely have a few favourites from the collection. Firstly, I think the Mulberry bear, complete with a miniature Mulberry over the shoulder bag, is adorable! The bear itself is rather understated, with just a tan suede effect all over and dark brown facial features, which echoes the minimalistic yet stylish nature of Mulberry bags and purses themselves. I also love the Vivienne Westwood bear, with the signature use of all colours making up the Union Jack and the silly expression on the face of the bear. I think the most stylish of all the bears has to be Victoria Beckham's pale pink creation complete with her signature on the sole of the foot.

It'll be interesting to see how much these bears are sold for on the 15th November!

Skincare Routine

Image
Starting with the morning, as I tend to not wear foundation in the daytime, but need other products such as my concealer to blend onto my skin nicely, I make sure I always use a moisturiser with an SPF of at least 30, regardless of the time of year. This is important when using the Alpha H Liquid Gold, as the active ingredients make skin much more sensitive to any rays and more likely to contract sunburn. The moisturiser I opt for is Elizabeth Arden's Flawless Future Moisture Cream which I find very lightweight and soothing on the skin. Throughout the day if my lips feel dry I apply the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant to them, as learnt from Gabbie Lindley from VelvetGh0st, which makes lips feel moisturised and have a nice sheen to them. If I'm heading out in the evening and want to wear a drying, matte lipstick I will feel like they are primed and smooth enough to do so. I sometimes pop this on my brows too to keep them in place as my friend Georgi...

REVIEW! Mane N Tail The Original Shampoo and Conditioner

Image
  As I tend to rave to everyone and their dog about this line of haircare I thought I would compile my thoughts in a blog post (after two years of no posting – oops!).  I first heard about Mane N Tail from Cosmetics Charlotte on YouTube (Now called CharlottesChance). I immediately ordered the “original” shampoo and conditioner from Amazon to see the results for myself.   From the first wash I was hooked; my hair has never felt so soft and manageable; my unruly curly hair became much easier to style, whether I left it to dry naturally or used a hairdryer. I try to make sure that I don’t use them more than once a week as I am worried that my hair will get used to them and I often take breaks between repurchasing them as I know once I use it in my hair again, I will feel the effects more intensely. The added benefit is definitely the hair growth – if you’re in the market for a product to do this them make sure you purchase a set as I have tried many products cl...

Dear Santa… Pixi Glow Tonic 250ml £18 http://www.marksandspencer.com/glow-tonic-250ml/p/p22424632?&pdpredirect Who doesn’t need an extra glow in this awful weather? I have heard raving reviews about this cult product but for some reason I’ve never picked a bottle up, although they handily stock the Pixi range in Marks and Spencer in the UK. They also sell a cute giftable 100ml for £10 in their Christmas range. (If you’re quick and spend over £35 you may also be eligible to get their advent calendar for £35 too! So total spend is £70 to pick one up, and they are worth over £200) Kate Spade One in a Million “J” Necklace £50 http://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/kate-spade-new-york-one-in-a-million-j-12ct-gold-plated-pendant_133-3003424-WBRU7652/ I love this dainty necklace from Kate Spade and its personal touch of having an initial in the middle as this will look lovely with lower cut necklines on tops and dresses, and if you want to go all High School Musical ...
