Today I’m excited to have a guest post written by the lovely Bex from Futures, who I’ve met through blogging and has become someone I can call a friend. Bex has an amazing blog so please check it out!
Hello! I’m Bex & I blog over at Futures. I happen to love this lady Lisa a lot – and I mean a lot. She is one of my best blogging friends and I am so happy that she has let me invade her space to talk to you all today! I’m here, sans makeup and dodgy pictures of me ahoy, to review the gorgeous Avon Smitten Red lipstick I got free with this months issue of Marie Claire magazine. I’ve already read and recycled the magazine – which I broke my spending ban for, oops – and had been putting off trying the lipstick for ages, just because it was red.

I don’t know about you but I find myself amongst those hordes of women who think that red lipsticks just don’t suit them. Are you the same? If pushed, I will always opt for a pink or coral tone rather than straying into the path of danger with a bright red. However, I decided to bite the bullet and finally tried it – and was I wowed? I was.
I have always been a fan of Avon lipsticks, having grown up with a mother and grandmother who bought from the catalogue every time they received it! Unfortunately though, I don’t seem to have many in my collection, something I am adamant to change! The casing is super sleek and quite gorgeous – it is different to other lipsticks in my collection and would be easy to find in my handbag. I love that the Avon logo is imprinted into the lipstick too – those little touches really do make a difference.
Yes, you get a picture of me, makeup free with stupid hair, just to show you what this lipstick looks like on. I know I’m not smiling but I looked like a psycho every time I even tried to grin for the camera so a nonchalant expression will have to do. I really do like this colour on me, its quite bright but I actually think it suits me and I do think that I will be using it a lot when it comes to nights out. It is quite creamy and moisturising upon application and didn’t alter once applied. My lips felt incredibly soft and smooth with this on and wear time was roughly 4 hours – not bad for a decent red! It stayed on whilst eating and drinking although did start to slip not long after.
If you are looking for a decent red to add to your collection, look no further – I am truly smitten.

I’ve recently become bit of an Origins convert. Since trying out a few of their products I’ve become hooked and can’t wait to get my hands on more. You may have noticed in my latest haul post that I picked up GinZing on bit of a whim. Well I’ve now had a chance to try it…
It’s now the time of year to start thinking about Christmas presents! Christmas shopping is probably one of my favourite things to do, but trying to work out what to buy everyone can be a huge faff sometimes! This year Vaseline have some lovely Christmas gifts available. The Vaseline Rosy Lip Pouch Gift Pack contains a Vaseline…
Once upon a time I became obsessed with beauty samples. I remember when I was around 15 I discovered you could order perfume samples on the Internet. I then spent months ordering sample after sample after sample. 6 years later I’m still obsessed with samples. If I see a freebie in a magazine, I’m there,…
On Saturday 16th June I headed down to London for the fourth The Only Way Is Blogging event. I’ve never been to any kind of blogging event or met up with any other bloggers before, so I was rather nervous about the whole thing. I’ve put off going to previous TOWIB events in the past because of…

Why?!) 15:09 – Arrive at the SU Spar…
I think that dry shampoo is a complete life savior, who ever invited it should be awarded in my opinion. The idea that you can be lazy and not wash your hair and put a couple of sprays of product in and your hair feels clean, genius concept. A favourite dry shampoo of mine is Batiste,…
