New House of Fraser Store Opening at Rushden Lakes | Take a Look Inside!

I love shopping theres no doubt about it, but regular readers will know my struggle because my town is shocking when it comes to choices, theres only a few decent shops on the high street and nowhere to buy any high end makeup and as a beauty blogger this is a nightmare! You may have seen my post a few weeks ago about the new shopping centre Rushen Lakes opening (here) and my shopping prayers have been answered. Why? Because House of Fraser finally opened up their doors and this new store of theirs literally whisked me away to beauty heaven. Towards the end of last week I was kindly invited by the team at HoF to attend the opening of their new store, which got me so excited for a number of reasons - the main one being House of Fraser has to be my favourite department store. I've been to Rushden Lakes a few times and every time I've passed HoF I see the lighted up Mac and Urban Decay counters calling my name, so for me the countdown on the store opening was on. So on Thursday morning I took the 15 minute trip over there and had one of the best shopping experiences of my life; So amazing that I just have to share it with you all.

3INA Cosmetics Bestsellers | Longwear Lipstick, Highlighter & Cream Eyeshadow

I know I must sound like I broken record when I say this, but one of the BEST thing about being a beauty addict and blogger is discovering new brands and today I want to share with you some of the bestsellers from new brand on the block 3INA (pronounced mina). I first heard about 3INA from some of my fellow beauty girls, sharing their 3INA hauls over on their blogs and Instagram and as far as first impressions go, I was really impressed. I love the look of the sleek black packaging and all the makeup that I had seen looked really pretty. It wasn't long before I was browsing the 3INA website and I love they're branding, theres a real 'Girl Power' vibe there which is something I'm all about. Over the last few weeks I've been trying out three of 3INA's bestsellers and I thought I'd give you my first impressions of the products and a little mini review of the Longwear Lipstick*, Highlighter* and Cream Eyeshadow*.

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil & Other DHC Beauty Products | Full Review

Right now I feel like I'm onto a right winner with my skincare routine and trust me when I say this is a very rare thing for me. Usually I'm falling in and out of love with cleansers and moisturisers more often that I should and being a beauty blogger means I always want to try out new things, so its really difficult to get right. But right now I couldn't be more happier with my skin and I think its all down to the cleanser that I've been using. For the last month or so, I've been washing my face and taking all of my makeup off with the DHC Deep Cleansing Oil and its honestly one of the best things ever.

Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette | Full Review and Swatches

When it comes to talk and hype around makeup, Urban Decay are always up there with their new releases and recently the heat has been on quite literally as all the talk amongst us beauty bloggers has been about the new Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette*. I've been following Urban Decay on Twitter since I set up my account and when I saw them tweet about their new addition to their Naked range, I was so excited as this palette is beautiful in every single way and just knew that as soon as it was available to buy in the UK I had to have it in my collection.

New Marks & Spencer Opening at Rushden Lakes

One thing thats always made me feel very lucky as a blogger is being invited to events that I would never dream of going to or would pop up in everyday normal situations. I think every blogger out there gets that blogger buzz when you've been singled out to go somewhere and its one of the best feelings ever. Since having Archie I rarely get to go to such events now, mainly because most of them are in London and it's not so easy to get childcare last minute. So when Chloe contacted me on the behalf of Marks and Spencer asking if I would like to attend the opening of the new store in Rushden Lakes I was thrilled and of course I had to say yes. I've always like Marks & Spencer, especially their food halls, lets face it you can't beat a bit of M&S food and I'm always popping into my local one to top up my stash of Percy Pigs (they're my fave). I've always enjoyed shopping in there for Archie's baby clothes as well, as they have some adorable pieces.
