A new year always inspires me to try new things and these are the latest beauty products I have been loving. I'm always happy to see Benefit giving away freebies with magazines (this is how I fell in love with Benetint) and this month you can get a sample of their new mascara Roller Lash before it hits stores in March, when you pick up a copy of Elle UK. I've been all about pale nails lately and Essie Tea & Crumpets has been on repeat for the past few weeks, I love the subtle shimmer to it. 

Santa was good to me this year and left some new fragrances for me to wear in my stocking. I have been layering the Jo Malone Nutmeg & Ginger with some of my more summery scents to make them more wintry and the Burberry Body has been my go to on cold days, it smells so warming. 

I am always trying to use products that are good for my skin so I am excited to try the OSEA line which is vegan and free from all those nasty toxins, you wouldn't eat those nasties so why would you want to put them on your skin either?!

Working on getting this year organised with my Design Love Planner.

A sneak peek at something coming to the blog soon. Cards from SS Print Shop.

I'm kinda in shock that we are almost a week into February already. This January went by quicker than any other month I can remember, I didn't get half the things done I planned too and I feel super disorganised right now. Luckily my Design Love Planner is on hand and I plan on getting things back in order soon!

I am so excited for the weekend to be here! The sun has actually been out most of this week and I hope it's going to stay around the next few days! My Dad is celebrating a big birthday tomorrow too, so we will be celebrating with him and making him some special cupcakes too! I hope everyone else enjoys their weekend as much as I plan too!

I love Benefit products and these miniatures are perfect for travelling.

Healthy delicious snacks at work this week. 

A quick dinner from the Breakfast section of one of Gwyneth Paltrow's books! 

The sun came out so of course that calls for ice cream.

I can't get enough of Strawberries right now.

Happy Friday everyone! I am so excited for this weekend! I'm off to Westfield Stratford City tomorrow for a day of shopping with my Godmother and my sister is going to meet us there too! It's a good thing I've had a huge closet clean out, I'm hoping to make a few new purchases for fall!

Busy painting some sale finds from earlier in the year

The finished necklace will be on the blog soon!

Free Benefit Treats With InStyle

In case you haven't already heard with the November issue of InStyle UK you get a free tint from Benefit. There are 3 to choose from, Benetint, Cha Cha Tint or Sunbeam. The samples are 4ml each so they are worth between £5-£8. The magazine retails for £3.80 so it's worth buying just for the freebie, and if you have a Tesco nearby then you can pick the November issue for only £2.50, making it even more of a steal!

I have never tried these tints so I went with Benetint, but I am tempted to go back and get another copy.

And if you take this page to a Benefit counter before November 1st you can get a free sample of the Bad Gal Lash mascara.

Has anyone else tried any of the Benefit tints? Which ones do you love?
