Beauty, Bargains and Beyond

I have a confession to make, I am rubbish at applying makeup even though I have tons of it.  WTF.  I nearly always go for a natural look when I wear makeup but that is because if I did anything more obvious I would probably end up looking like a clown.  That does not stop me buying more make up as it is just an addiction, I love all the pretty packaging and lovely colours. Anyway recently I have been attending beauty events in the likes of Debenhams, Harvey Nichols etc some of which are to watch demos of make up being applied such as a beauty event at Debenhams where brands such as  Urban Decay did a make over and more recently at a Harvey Nichols Fenty Beauty  masterclass event where one of the Fenty Beauty UK Ambassadors did a demo which showcased Fenty Beauty products and showed how easy they were to apply.  Yes it is a way to encourage sales and yes I did buy some items, but what I took from each event is that you don't have to go overboard with y...

I recently took advantage of a 15% discount at Harvey Nichols and picked up some Charlotte Tilbury products that have been on my wishlist for a while. Here's what I purchased: The Rock N Kohl Iconic Liquid Eye Pencil Eye Cheat For Bigger Brighter Eyes - I'm always looking for products to enhance my eyes, so can wait to try this as the formula is so soft (this was £19 before the discount). Lip Magic Rejuvenating Smoothing Propolis Balm - I always have really dry lips no matter how many times I apply lip balm.  This was expensive, but I thought it was worth a try (this was £25 before the discount).

I posted about the Harvey Nichols Goody Bag Offer  here .  I took advantage of the offer as I wanted to buy a present for my sister and I also wanted to pick up some Charlotte Tilbury makeup (I will show you what I bought in a separate post).  I just thought I would show you a quick pic of the actual goodies that I received from this offer.  I should say that I did not receive the goody bag when my order was delivered, so I did have to email Harvey Nichols to find out why I had not received it with my order.  They were really quick to respond and I did receive the goody bag 2 days later. There are some great brands included in the goody bag, so I can't wait to try them all out. Leighlee

Just a quick heads up that Harvey Nichols is giving away a free goody bag packed full of beauty products worth £230 when you spend £150 on beauty. You can find the full details of the offer here. This is a great opportunity to finish your Christmas shopping.  Enjoy. Leighlee
