Recently I have done the following:

Been to see the new James Bond Film Spectre.  WOW! I am not a huge James Bond fan, (although I have probably watched all the recent ones from Pierce Brosnan onwards), but Spectra was brilliant, really entertaining and the 2.5 hour movie just flew by.  I hope this isn't Daniel Craigs last movie as Bond, but if it is then it's a great one to end on.  I loved the references to characters that have appeared in previous James Bond movies that Daniel Craig has been in.   
                   
Found a new favourite tipple.  I was invited to the Blind Pig Cider event at The Maven Bar in Leeds and I have to say although the flavours are unusual, they are very, very nice and I would definitely buy them in the future, My favourite flavour was Bourbon & Blueberry, but the Whisky, Honey & Apple and Rum & Poached Pear tasted great too. 

 Used my Tastecard and visited Pizza Express to take advantage of the 50% off food offer.  The Christmas menu is now available and I can really recommend the Smoked Salmon Rillette, the Spiced Lamb Romana Pizza and the Salted Caramel Profiteroles. There are usually some great deals available to join Tastecard or just to try it out for a few months, so do search the internet for the most up-to-date offers.

 Planned to see The Breakfast Club on the big screen during the Leeds International Film Festival.  This was to celebrate The Breakfast Clubs 30th anniversary.  As it's one of my all time favourite films I couldn't miss this screening.  Sadly it was not to be.  Even though I dragged myself out of bed to make the screening at 9am on a very wet and cold Saturday, there were technical difficulties with the screening and as I can't lip read then not being able to hear the actors speaking was a bit of a problem.  Oh well at least it was a free screening. EDIT: The screening has now been rescheduled, so I can't wait to see this classic 80's movie on the big screen.

 Gone to the gym for the first time since going on holiday.  It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but I am really going to have to up my game if I want to shape up in time for the Christmas parties.

 Started making sure that I carry tote bags with me as shops are now charging 5p per carrier bag.  There's a great tote bag by Julien MacDonald for Tickled Pink that is available at Asda for only £2.50.  I wrote a post about it here.
What have you been up to lately?

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-
Image
I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it made for a better base for my foundation. It also seemed to be more hydrating. I have defini...
