My sleeping pattern is all over the place these days. I think you can tell I have not had a lot of sleep in this post. I am thinking of investing in YSL Touche Eclat Radiant Touch, but wasn't sure if it was worth the money? Have you tried it or have any other recommendations for my giant bags? 

prime time

I hate how my make up runs off my face, pretty much as soon as I leave the house. I've heard a lot about primers, but I've not used one until now. I got this from my nan for Christmas (bless her!) and I love it so much I thought I'd share it with you.

I moisturise first and use one pump which I find covers my whole face. It leaves my face soft, smooth and even. I use a powder foundation (liquid foundation make my face shiny!) and I find the primer holds it really well - and for much longer then usual.

I'm trying to expand my make up collection and I am pleased that I have added this amazing item.

bareMinerals Prime Time Foundation Primer - £19 and worth every penny.

gap travel

Everyone spends their money on different things. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you may of noticed that I love to visit different places and travel as much as I can. Faye put me in touch with Gap Travel and I was asked to write 100 words about different places I have visited. I am very excited to say that the pieces I wrote about Australia and Holland were put in :)

This feels like a massive step in the right direction and I hope I get to do a lot more in the furute. A great start to 2012 :D

feeling festive #8 - new years eve

2011 has been a strange year. I've learnt a lot, lost some friends but gained many more. I've learnt that a friend can be anywhere in the world but still be there when you need them.

I'd like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to every one who reads my blog. I don't think I say it enough, but I really appreciate every comment and view I get.

This year I have been able to meet some of you at the blogger meets I have organised. Event planning is something I hope to get in to when I grow up (haha!) and it has been great to combine my two loves - blogging and event planning. It would be great to meet even more of you at the next one I organise :) I'd like to say thank you to Law for helping organise the second blogger meet of the year!

[blogger meet one and two.]

My family has been there a lot for me this year and it seemed fitting to spend the night with my mum and dad. It was a great night and a lovely way to see in the new year!

I hope you've all had a brilliant night and that 2012 is everything you wish for.

The fireworks in London actually bought a tear to my eye! A bloody amazing display! I am feeling very optimistic for 2012 - good things are going to happen!
