BURKATRON

it's been a while since I've popped up a currently lovin' so here's the latest instalment of a few items that are currently floating my boat! 1. thrifted straw bag: I love a good rummage through my local vintage & second hand shops! I picked up this little straw bag for £2  and I love it! 2. illamasqua androgen cream pigment* this is a wonder product!! a beautiful cream pigment that I use mostly on my cheeks (but can be used on eyes and lips too if it takes your fancy) a warm coral pink androgen is a shade that suits most skin types and gives a lovely glow.. if you're after a combination make up this is a great investment and has become a firm favourite of mine! 3. topshop nail polish in spilled milk: my love affair with white nails continues and this is my latest buy! the formula of this colour is surprisingly good needing 2 coats for coverage; I've found it doesn't chip too easily either! white polishes can be a little hit and miss so if you've b...

I've been trying out a few new beauty buys in the last fortnight as well as a couple of random purchases I couldn't resist! here's my fave bits & pieces this week: 1. topshop white martie t bar geek shoes : I feel in love with these shoes in seconds! I was really torn as I loved the red version but I thought white would be perfect to wear with frilly socks for ultimate grandma geek points! 2. lush sweetie pie shower gel & sugar scrub: I was sold on the shower gel at first sniff, smelling like the inside of a sweet shop with an added bonus of glitter throughout, yum! the sugar scrub was a impulse buy as I love a good exfoliate and I saw the ingredients were celulite banishing hurrah.. bye bye lumpy bits, hello baby soft scrubbed skin! 3. topshop powder room lip crayon:  I picked this up in the hope it would be a good handbag essential. I love the matt colour but scrubbed lips are a must before application as it's slightly drying and I'm prone to chapped lip...

hey guys! here's the latest installment of currently lovin' (with it's usual collection of completely random things!) I've been buying little bits and bobs lately in the misguided attempt to not overspend this month. yep this backfired as I just ended up spending a small fortune in paperchase instead! (note to self I do NOT need any more notebooks) I shall attempt to reign in my growing stationary addiction but in the meantime here's some of my most loved things this week: 1. palmers cocoa butter body scrub : my mum purchased this little beauty and I 'borrowed' it a few days ago... holy lord this is the best smelling creation ever! close your eyes, it's like scrubbing with chocolate mousse (weird but good!) it's not the grainiest scrub but it smells so damn good I don't care! 2. enamel floral mug, urban outfitters sale:  I tend to top up on accessories and cute little trinkets when the UO sale lands. this little mug caught my eye a few months ago...

I've rounded up a some bits and bobs I've been a fan of this week! as you can see it's a rather random assortment (forgive me!) but I don't have time to post about them all and I think they're worthy of a thumbs up! 1. primark socks : I've been buying topshop frilly socks for a few months now (too cute to resist) I just discovered that primark are selling pairs for £1.50! I'm so fickle I switched my frilly sock allegiance immediately, sorry topshop! 2. barry m gelly polishes and confetti nail effects : I've purchased a few gelly polishes over the last two months and I'm really impressed with them. I find them a little slow to dry but the opacity is really good and some only need one generous coat for good coverage! the confetti effects in dolly mixture are adorable I LOVE it! it isn't like a glitter polish it's more like having tiny feathers on your fingertips, big fan! 3. paperchase stickers : I added another batch to my collection this wee...

I really enjoyed writing my last currently lovin' post! I have some new little bits that wouldn't usually make it into a post so I decided to make it a regular feature! so here's my latest crushes: 1.  river island light wash denim skirt:  I walked past river island three times in the last week every time this skirt caught my eye.. on walk by number four I gave in, introduced myself and we made our way to the till. it's my ideal summer basic, light comfortable and versatile. 2.  cath kidston button factory:  a present from my absolutely gorgeous best friend (she knows cath kidston is the way to my heart!) a box of fun with all the ingredients to create your own fabric coated buttons! including their iconic floral fabric and instructions on how to get started (its really easy!) I'm going to be busy making buttons for all my cushions thanks to this super cute kit! 3. topshop nail polishes : I've pulled out two neglected colours from my collection this week. milks...
