Forgive me father for I had sinned! Can you believe I haven’t posted a Boots haul all year? Backtracking over my past posts there has been a definite slip in full blown hauls this year as I’ve been on the biggest clearout, useup mission. My last Boots haul was now over a year a go.

I’m going to apologise now that from now on my set up for photos is bound to get weirder and weirder, whilst we’ve been packing few a few months now – I’d left a bunch of blog props out ready for photos and they’ve now been packed away too. I’ll have to be getting creative […]

When it comes to concealers, I basically have no loyalty. You know how some people find that one that knocks their socks off, they stick loyally to it. Whist I’ve found the odd concealer over the years that I’ve been fond of and repurchased, I’ve never found the one that’s impressed me so much that […]

I don’t know how or when but somehow at some point I stumbled across an indie nail polish maker on Facebook sometime last year, Danglefoot Polish.
