In the post...

Today I received some orders from overseas. I was pretty excited to hear the postman knock this morning, and I couldn't wait to rip open my packages. The first was my makeup palette from Sigma.

I chose the Flare palette.

It was much bigger and heavier than I thought, but is full of gorgeous colours and I have been playing around with looks all day.

The quality of the brushes is up to the usual Sigma standard, which I was expecting, but is not always the case with other brands. I would be happy to take this kit on my travels as several looks could be created from it.

The other thing I bought is a second Focco bag. This is basically a copy cat of the Alexander Wang bag, but this time in black. I got this from eBay and used this seller.

I ♥ Focco

Look what I got in the post yesterday!

After spying Laura's post on the white faux Wang Rocco bag, I did a little google and fell in love with the gray original. This led to me purchasing this number from eBay.

After ordering it I was tempted by the black, and thought I had made a mistake, as the eBay pictures make the gray look a little tacky. One look inside the envelope and I knew I was wrong. It is a perfect wear with anything colour, It is neutral, but not a harsh boring grey as it has a hint of lilac.

I also love the lining, a classic brown, with cream detailing.

It looks a bit funny when you first take it out the bag, but it hangs lovely when it's filled with all the junk everyday essentials we carry around.

I adore this bag, and I want one in every colour!

Which is your favourite?

I joined a gym!

Today was my first session at the gym I recently joined. Now, I have never really been into sort and exercise, but I really want to get healthy this year. When a new gym opened right by me, I jumped at a chance to join up, and you know what, I loved it! I will try and keep this updated with my progress so I can monitor it and keep going.

The numbers:
Today I weigh 9st6, and have a BMI of 25.7. I'm only 5ft tall so I need to keep my weight down. Ideally below 9st to keep me happy. I did 30 mins of cardio exercise (10mins treadmill, 10mins bike, 10mins cross trainer) and I felt brilliant after it. Going back tomorrow to see if I can remember how to use all the machines.

While I have been waiting for the gym induction I have been going swimming. I am also going to start the Get Running couch to 5K program via the app I downloaded an age ago. Would love to be able to run some sort of decent distance as I never have before.

If you feel good on the inside, you look good on the outside.

ASOS: watching the sales!

I was browsing the ASOS sale last week and I had a strange need to purchase a watch, or 4! Here they are, my current obsession seems to be watches and jewellery. Hopefully this means more accessory purchases, and less clothing purchases as I really need to sort out my wardrobe situation!

I love the contrast between gold and silver on this watch. 

Seem a little obsessed with boyfriend watches.

I also want this in gold

I got the rose gold watch with the black face as well

 And this heart ring

I'm loving ASOS recently since I bout the years free next day delivery for £14.99!

What are you current obsessions?

P20 = -/+

After returning from my holiday with a distinct lack of tan, and trying to justify this to a work colleague (burn to easy, apply sun cream about 50 times a day), she mentioned me trying P20. I had never heard the name, but once she described the product, I think I have heard of it.

The idea of this product is basically, you apply it everywhere and it is supposed to last for 10 hours. This particular formulation is equivalent to spf20, however i know an spf10 version also exists. The reason this product is supposed to work so well is that it blocks 90% of the UVB rays (the ones that cause the burn).They also claim it is still 90% effective after water exposure, as it is extremely water resistant. It sounds a very interesting product, and there seems to be many a positive review floating around. 

My question is would you trust a suncream that you could apply once and leave all day? The idea is promising, no messy reapplications sounds like heaven. But, do I dare trust it?

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
