BEAUTY BITS AND BOBS

Hello lovelies, I know my blog seems very mumsy at the moment, babies over load! But I am trying to keep up to date with my beauty posts too and hopefully when I'm feeling a bit more confident I will post some fashion posts soon too. I went to Birmingham last week mainly to buy myself some new clothes but ended up kitting the boys out instead but I did get my hands on a couple of new beauty releases and some Topshop beauty bits! 

I have seen the Topshop Lip Ombre out for a bit and been very curious by it, I was tempted to pick them all up when I went in the store but perplex got my full attention so popped that in my basket, it has a gorgeous fuchsia pink with a peachy orange shade, I can't wait to have a play with that, then I picked up some invisibobbles as these are great for your hair and I loved the colour of them and of course couldn't leave without getting any of the five year celebration bits, the gold packaging is just stunning! I picked up the nail polish in shade adrenalin and the lipstick innocent, the lipstick is a perfect day to day wear shade and a good few hour wear out of it. 

After Topshop I then popped into boots, I was going to get the new Barry M blushes but wasn't blew away by them so left it, I am a massive fan of their nail polishes don't get me wrong but not so much a big fan of their make up so I was having a mooch and spotted these gorgeous new Bourjois polishes, I wasn't even aware of a new release but picked them up straight away! As it was 3 for 2 also it would of been rude not to indulge. They are about £7 and the formula is stunning, so opaque after just one application and fast drying, looking forward to seeing how long they last on the nails, it says long lasting online so I shall let you know. Then lastly one new release I did want to try out was the new Revlon ultra hd lipsticks, hibiscus caught my eye straight away and when I swatched it I fell in love immediately so had to get it, so glad I did it smells amazing, lasts a good long while and feels beautiful on the lips, will definitely need to invest in some more shades in the near future. 

Have you picked up any new releases lately or just been treating yourself to new make up?

MUMMY MONDAY | BOOK REVIEW #1

Dave's Breakfast Blast Off! 

Hello lovelies, I thought I would do something a little different on the Mummy Monday post today, so every Thursday I take Oscar to the library and he picks three new books every time we go. This book has been his absolute favourite from every time we have been. He laughed so much when we read this, I am going to have to purchase this book for him but I actually know it off by heart now word for word luckily. I think he only likes the last couple of pages anyway when Dave the cat lets off a big stinker from eating too many breakfasts aha.

It's basically about a big cat called Dave who wakes up one morning to an empty bowl so him and the animals in the garden come up with a plan to go to next doors house, they all help him over the fence and he pinches all next doors pets food. He ate far too much and let of a huge parp! Oscar shouts blast off now and makes a fart noise then laughs his head off through out the day bless him, what I liked about this book is the words are quite big so I touch the words as I say them and get Oscar to repeat me and sometimes I'll miss a word out so he can say it. It's very easy to read and Oscar thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm thinking of doing a book review on all the books he enjoys the most or maybe once a month pick one out to review, Oscar is two and a half by the way so the bigger the writing the better for him and it's easier to interact with him. We both had lots of fun reading this every night for a week amongst the other books so I really need to get this. 

I hope you all have a lovely bank holiday Monday planned, if your a parent blogger reading what do your toddlers like reading/ being read to the most?
