Kylie Cosmetics: Posie K Gloss

I've had a couple of purchases from Kylie Cosmetics recently much to the dismay of my bank account! One of my orders I've had a bit of a mare with and it's taken ages to get delivered! Not been a happy bunny and usps tracking is so slow!

Anyway one of the two orders that has arrived is my Posie K gloss.

I'm not much of a gloss girl often preferring the Matte Lip but as I love the colour of Posie K so much I figured I had to give it a go.

Lifestyle: My First Attempt at Dairy Free Pesto

As I am trying to eat less dairy in my diet I decided to to attempt cooking some dairy free versions of foods that I love that contain milk products. I am a huge fan of pesto especially on pasta so I thought I would see if the dairy free version was just as good! This would be my first attempt at cooking Dairy Free Pesto and at cooking pesto in general.

So its not as blended as it could be (lets blame the blender for that) and at first I thought I had added far too much garlic and that it was going to be a disaster! Thankfully it turned out really well and went nicely with the courgetti (courgettes as spaghetti surprisingly nice!) I had for my tea.

There's a Dupe For That..

I have been doing a lot of dupe tweets lately after all who doesn't love a good dupe!? Similar products to the high end brands but at a third of the cost! I have decided to share with you via blog post some of the dupes I own.

Mini Book Haul

Working in a library where I can borrow books for free means that it's not often that I find myself buying books these days. The other day I treated myself to a couple of titles that I have had my eye on for a while so I thought I would share these with you.

Wallflowers - Eliza Robertson £8.99

'A small boy and his grandmother set sail for China in the mud of her back yard; a supermarket car park becomes a graveyard of strewn blueberries; migratory birds fly over a marshland ringing with the sound of wooden spoons on kitchen pots; and the breaking of a silence between two roommates leads to disquieting revelations.
