I received the foundation through the product review club. The packaging is very nice and to me makes the foundation look expensive. The pump is very handy as you can control how much you get from the bottle. I have quite pale skin so i chose ivory, when i first put it on i thought it was too pale but it blended in well and now i think my previous foundation was too dark for me!! With the Marcelle foundation there was no streaky marks and left a powdery finish to my skin.
Was also impressed by the staying factor it. Usually by the time i take my make up off at the end of the day there isn't much to take off, but with the Marcelle foundation it stays on long and so makes me look better for longer!! Would defo buy this again.

I did not really like this product. Thankfully I do not really need help with filling in lines but the thought of plumping lips had me quite excited! But once i had tried the creams i felt that neither of them worked. I did get a tingly feeling after applyiny the lip plumper but it was not a good tingly feeling and started to worry that i might be allergic, thankfully not. Also donèt know if the cold weather had a part to play but my lips were more chapped than usual. All in all i would not recommend this to anyone not worth the money. -

I bought these boots as a birthday present to myself. They are a bit on the expensive side but in my eyes i think they are worth it. I don't mind paying that little bit extra for something that i know will last a very long time. Plus they are made in Scotland and that is were i'm originally from so that was an extra bonus!!
I bought these as my winter boots as i will be doing quite a bit of walking in the snow to and from bus stops!! Have only gotten to wear them in the rain so far and they are great, very comfortable and i also bought the wellie sock so my feet are kept warm. Will let you know how i get on in the winter tho! Love the colour of them too adds a splash of colour on a grey day.
Not very sexy but comfortable and practical for day to day living.

My friend and I went for a massage here. It was spa week so it was only $50 for the treatment. My appointment was for 50 mins, 30 for the body massage and 20 for the head/neck/shoulder massage. We were shown to a room where we both could get changed into our robes and lock up our possessions. After we changed we weren't exactly sure where to go. The woman that showed us were to go said we could stay in the room but then two other women came in and it got a bit cramped!! So we had to go sit outside with other fully clothed people and i started to feel a little self conscious in my robe. We had filled in a form just before our appointment and it wasn't till after when i was talking to my friend that her masseuse had told her we were given the wrong form!
My massage was lovely tho, very relaxing. Wasn't too keen on the head massage, it hurt quite a bit and couldn't fully relax. My friend loved her head massage so i guess it just depends on what your used to. She said it might even help people that get bad headaches/migraines.
Was relaxed at the end of my appointment and my masseuse asked me if she could get me anything to drink, i said no and she left the room. Then wasn't quite sure what to do, when i have gone to other places they have told me to take my time and get ready when i felt up to it but she said nothing, so I just relaxed. A few minutes later she knocked on the door asking if i was ok and i guessed that i should get up and get ready!!
All in all it was a good experience for the price, felt very relaxed/sleepy after but if I went back I would ask for my friends massuse as she seemed to know what she was doing.

I just love this lotion!! I have quite dry skin on my legs ( i know you wanted to know that about me!!) even in the summer. I have tried quite a few different lotions and at one time my favorite was the Body Shop's body butter but money got tight and i had to find an alternative. This is an excellent body butter, it makes my skin soft and it lasts the whole day. -

Was on a walk with a little boy I look after and saw a pair of rubber boots with a fur lining in the window, which I have been looking for as an alternative to a pair of big, bulky winter boots. We went inside for a quick look and was amazed at how many things i wanted to buy!! Casual day wear (which is my fav!) and items that could be for day or night. I love clothes that are soft to touch and they seemed to have alot of soft clothing. They also have a ton of jeans. The service was great considering I had a 16 month boy with me who wanted to touch everything!! They let him play with a little stool while i tried to browse. Will definetly go back when i am on my own to try on the boots and some other things.
They don't have a website but follow the link above and that will give you a phone number, map and opening hours.
