Have I mentioned before that I have unruly hair?
Oh I have...well guess what I'm saying it again and thanks to Glasgow currently establishing itself as the new windy city I need all the help I can get just to drag a brush through my hair let alone style it. Like all with troublesome tresses I do have a few products at hand that I favour.

The onslaught on brow products shows no sign of slowing down and with Tarte Cosmetics now hitting the UK via QVC we now have access to another brow mousse. I'm slowly getting used to ditching the brow pencil in favour of a paint on formula and do you know what the end result is much more natural - colour choice permitting of course.

Believe it or not Neal's Yard Remedies Wild Rose Beauty Balm is now 10 years old and to celebrate hitting such milestone the brand have created a 10th Anniversary Edition of their best selling multi-purpose balm.
Neal's Yard Remedies teamed up with British artist, Alice Shields, to create the beautiful exclusive floral limited edition packaging. The concept is that the sweet floral illustrations reflect the brand’s herbal heritage as well as being a nod to the ingredients found inside the balm.

As you may be aware Tarte is now available within the UK via QVC. No not everything made the cut but my guess is that this is the brand's way of testing the water and if all goes well I can imagine that sooner rather than later the entire line up will be readily available. I imagine most of us will be excited about the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blushes so that is where I will start...

This little pot of pigmented wonder has sat on my dresser since December and basically spent up until now figuring out the best way to put it to use. Yes Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer is a fickle being but once you master how to make the product work best for you there really is no going back.

Are you on the look out for the perfect pink nude lip liner?
A shade that will compliment just about any nude or pink lipstick, a formula that glides on and what's more give the impression of fuller lips?
Of course you are, well I have found it in Rimmel Exaggerate Full Colour Lip Liner in Eastend Snob.
Oh and did I mention it only costs £3.99. Yes really!

Hold on to your hats because Clarins have only went and re-invented how we will view self tanning forever.
I kid you not Clarins Self Tanning Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster is a game changer and has been created for one of the areas I find most difficult to tan - the face.Like most my skin has been looking a little pasty thanks to the lack of sunshine here in Britian so when Clarins Self Tanning Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster landed on my lap I set to work that night trying it out. Here we are two weeks later and it has become a staple product on my night stand - I just can't get enough of the glowy goodness!

Last night there was a twitter chat about how to blog about all things beauty on a budget and how doable it really is. Well as someone who has now blogged primarily about beauty for three years, I felt today was the perfect excuse to share a few tips and tricks for when you have no money or perhaps no desire to purchase beauty products as there really is more to this community than a new shiny lipstick (as nice as it may be).

A tomato scented candle? Really?
Yes really and it is so much more that and far more wonderful than you could initially imagine.
I know I'm not alone in saying that if something is a little less conventional in scent or design when it comes to beauty products sooner or later I'm going to have to try it. Much like a cat curiosity nearly always gets the better of me. Life is too short not to be inquisitive which leads me to Jo Malone's Just Like Sunday Green Tomato Leaf Candle...

Are you on the look out for well made yet affordable brushes?
I'm one of those people that don't purchase brushes all that often as I firmly believe you shouldn't have to.
If you buy good quality brushes, take good care of them there is no reason to constantly repurchase - well unless you are building your collection etc.

I'm fickle when it comes to eye creams - I prefer a cream over a gel in most instances, it has to be moisturising but not overly so, it has to help with dark circles and preferably offer some sort of anti-ageing aspect. I don't ask for much do I? Well if you are pretty demanding when it comes to eye cream you may just want to try out Nuxe Anti-Fatigue Moisturising Eye Cream - I swear by it.

Today I was lucky enough to be introduced to the new Carolina Herrera 212 Surf edition Eau de Toilettes over breakfast and knew that as soon as I got home I had to share my thoughts on the female version. You know a fragrance is a must have when you spend the entire bus journey home sniffing yourself with gusto. Yes I am that guy and unashamedly so!

You don't need me to tell you that the weather has been less than wonderful lately, I know those south of the border have enjoyed a few sun soaked days but up here in the north it is chilly, windy and frankly not all that pleasing. Luckily I have been sent a trio of new fragrances from Flamingo Candles to help chase away the Winter blues (surely it is Spring now?) and turn my home into a fresh, fruity scented haven.

This morning two new products from The Body Shop arrived on my doorstep and I did the unthinkable, I dragged my sorry behind to the gym at 8am (yes really) with the promise that when I returned for my post work out shower I would use the two products in the shower. I hate exercise it is no secret but today I was slightly and I say slightly more motivated as I couldn't wait to treat myself with the new Body Shop Early Harvest Raspberry Collection.

If like myself there is certain mornings ( a.k.a every morning)that you really would rather spend an extra ten glorious minutes in bed than preening yourself then I have a few cheat products you may wish to invest in.
Go on hit that snooze button one more time baby (yes I'm loosely referencing Britney Spears).

I'm really trying to resist temptation and not purchase both of the new MAC pre-made neutral palettes given that they are £65 each and the last thing I need is more neutral eyeshadow but oh man are they pretty. Real pretty. It's only a matter of a time before I cave but until then let me share another MAC pre-made palette - MAC Pink Freeze which is slightly dinkier given it is a quad and a whole lot more affordable.

Mothers day is only a few weeks away so you may be on the look out for a nice gift for your mother, grandmother or any special lady in your life. I can't help but feel any woman of Scottish ancestry would be more than happy to receive a few of the new soaps from The Scottish Fine Soaps Company. You of course don't have to be Scottish to enjoy the luxury soaps but I think we all enjoy something that reminds us of home?
