I'm Back...




Got back from my holiday yesterday, had a brilliant time, the usual relaxing by the pool and a little exploring! We stayed in San Antonio Bay, and visited Formentera. The weather was gorgeous, and the food was delicious! So sad to be back, but I came home to a pile of packages, and a few purchases to make, so haul post very soon.
Where's your favourite holiday destination?

Love, K x

Kindle: Book A Week Challenge!

After my recent purchase of a Kindle (for my holiday next week), I have been inspired by Kelly, to read a book a week.
I also picked up this purple cover cheap from eBay

Last weeks book was The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, by Stephanie Meyer. I loved this book, although it took me a while to get involved with the story, once I was sucked in by Bree I absolutely loved it. I wont say too much in case you are still to read it, but for a Twilight fan it is a must, but try to let go of any preconceptions based on your love for the Cullens. Bree is a brilliant character.

For those of you wondering what I think about the Kindle, as soon as I ordered it I regretted it, I decided I should have just waited and got the iPad 2 I had been lusting after. However, once the Kindle arrived, I was completely sold  on it. It is absolutely perfect, and I love the e-ink screen! I would recomend a Kindle to anyone, although I probably will still get my iPad.

The next book on my list is Water For Elephants, by Sara Gruen, notice a pattern here?

It's here...

10 days later, my Cleanse and polishing tool from sigma has arrived...
So far I am pretty impressed, with everything from the quality of the changeable heads, to the ease of use. Just pop the batteries in (2xAA) and your away!
The device has 2 speed settings, and also comes with three different brush heads, with more to come hopefully!
Having used it for just 3 days I am loving how soft my skin is feeling, and cant wait to see improvements in texture. The only thing that is worrying me so far is when I do the cheekbone areas, I can see the delicate skin in the eye area moving.

Also picked up Glamour, to get my Benefit freebies today

Sigma purchase...


I have been eagerly awaiting the launch of the Cleansing and Polishing tool from Sigma since Simone announced it on twitter. Today was the release date, and I have been hanging around the Sigma site waiting to order it all day.
See how cute it looks!

I have wanted to try the Clarisonic for a long time, but put it off as soon as I heard about this product, and am so glad I did too at $39 it is such a bargain.
 Can't wait to test it out when it arrives.

Will you be ordering this?

Classic NOTD

Here is a classic NOTD, that has been shown probably too many times, but it's one that you just can't resist taking a photo of.
China Glaze, For Audrey


This colour does not get enough use in my collection. I think it looks great on shorter nails, and with a tan. Its the perfect blend of bright and pastel. It's colours like this that make me love painting my nails.

NOTD: Freebie Lovin'

Here are my current nails: Candy Orange, by Nails inc, free with this months InStyle magazine!

I love my freebies, can never resist. Guess that's why I bought 3 copies of the magazine this month:

Electric Teal is probably my favourite though

It's a gorgeous petrol colour.

None of these colours are really unique, but they are different to ones I already own, so that's OK by me.

To be honest, I never buy Nails inc polish as I don't think they warrant the £11 price tag, but for the price of a magazine (or a couple of bottles of coke) I think they are pretty good.

Any excuse for new nail polish
