Pixi Fairy Dust Favourites in Metallic Warmth

Eye shadows have been my jam for a very long time, I think they were my first makeup love and my palettes are getting way out of hand. The reason I love them so much is because the possibilities are endless and you can create so many different looks with the flick of a brush. Matte shadows are my firm favourite but what do you think I thought of Pixi's Fairy Dust Favourites?

Five Things that have Made me Smile this Valentine's

Valentine's Day, traditionally Saint Valentine's Day has been celebrated for centuries, known as the day of love we usually spend the day gifting cards, heart-shaped chocolates and roses. I've had a relatively lovely day considering most of it has been spent at work and I'm yet to see my one true love, so I thought I'd share five things that have made me smile today.

February Birchbox with Papier

It's time for another beauty box review and this time it's all about my old buds over at Birchbox. This month, they have teamed up with British stationary faves Papier giving us two beautifully designed boxes, each filled with lots of beauty treats. The theme this month is Express Yourself and I couldn't think of a theme more perfect for the beginning of the year.

The Runway Edition by Look Fantastic

This is only my second Look Fantastic Beauty Box but I can already see that they'll be stacking up soon enough even if two of this months products weren't my fave. I reviewed January's Beauty Revolutions Box a couple of weeks ago and this months box focuses on Runway Beauty just in time for fashion week to commence. The February box comes in a sleek purple shade with gold writing, with a copy of Elle magazine, the beauty box magazine and a collection of products to try out.

Inside my Caudalie Skin Wardrobe

I've been a seldom user of Caudalie over the years. I've used test samples and liked what I've tried in the past but as there isn't really anywhere in Southampton to readily buy the products, I haven't picked any up. I'm not a big online shopper when it comes to skincare as I like to go in and talk to a therapist or skincare specialist and find the right products for my skin.

Bill's Restaurant Southampton

The minute I saw that Bill's Restaurants would be opening in West Quay's new watermark development I kept going on and on at Arran, saying we had to go eat there again. We've been to the Salisbury branch a couple of times but it's not the most convenient location for us so we never got to go as much as we would've liked. After having to run some very last minute Christmas errands on Christmas Eve, we found ourselves having a late brunch of pancakes in Bill's, then the same a week later for my Birthday and a handful of times since. It's safe to say we're huge fans.

The Commitments at Mayflower Theatre

I'm a huge fan of the film, The Commitments so when I saw the musical would be coming to the Mayflower Theatre, I had to get tickets. The stage musical is based on the 1991 film by Alan Parker based on the story of Jimmy Rabbitte, a young working-class music fan, who shapes an unlikely bunch of amateur musicians and friends into an amazing live act, the finest soul band Dublin has ever produced. If you haven't seen the film, I really urge you to do so as it is just incredible. I'd also be really surprised if you didn't recognise some of the songs in it.

In My Mailbox

So you guys are really liking my In My Mailbox series so I'm going to keep it going for a while. I really love watching unboxings on Snapchat and Youtube and seeing as I don't have a channel, I'm giving you a blog post instead. I do unbox all my parcels on Snapchat (Alicea89) so make sure you're following me there too. This isn't me showing off, I want this to be more like a quick and nosy post so please do let me know your thoughts in the comments. I've received everything in this post the last couple of weeks so stay put and grab a cuppa...
