MERCY. ME. It has been too long since I've posted! Weekly posts are on my hefty New Year's Resolution list I promise you! So as a premature start to the new year, here's a little video about the overwhelming joy of being made a Violent Lips Lip Ambassador and a supermarket sweep of cheap beauty buys to keep you looking just swell on a post-Christmas budget.

last night ASOS saved my life!

It's been TOO long, but I'll get straight down to it!

ASOS is having the most UH-MAZING sale right now and if you don't take a look you're a fool, a fool I say!! (A little strong, but it is an absolutely incredible sale!)

I'll keep this brief as I do have two more, much better posts coming soon, but I just wanted to share two of the fantastic little finds I scooped to prove to you how good it is!

Cheap Monday Very Stretch Skinny Jeans - £31! (RRP: £45)

I was going to hold out until next month to buy a pair of classic blue jeans, bite the bullet and possibly invest in some Levi's ID jeans, when lo and behold, in the ASOS sale I find a pair of perfect indigo beauties in the one denim brand that I know fits me like a glove. For all those curvy girls out there with more cushion for pushin' but smaller on the waist and lower legs, Cheap Monday has served me so well that they are now the only jeans I buy (and I have 3 pairs!!). They may not be as purse friendly as your average pair from Primani, but they will make you look and feel like your pins have just stepped off the runway - parfait!

Jonathan Aston Mock Suspender Tights - £7! (RRP: £10)

Now some people may be screaming '£7 for a pair of tights?!' but I will say this: much like my Cheap Monday jeans, my other leggy love are my Henry Holland suspender tights, in which I feel like a woman (/high class escort - c'mon, we've all seen Secret Diary of A Call Girl and thought about the money/killer wardrobe) but bless them, I think they need a little rest from their faithful service, and dear Jonathan has provided a gorgeous alternative. They also come in S/M/L so none of this One Size trauma for the more curvaceous!

I WILL get round to my other two posts, one is a charity shop haul and one is a make-up review so watch this space and in the meantime get a little ASOS sale in your life!

frugal fashion from Groupon!

Groupon offers The Bible for less for 48 hours only!

Okay so enough with the blasphemy, I'm not talking about the actual Bible, I am of course talking about my fashion bible Vogue, amongst other Condé Nast glossies like Tatler, Vanity Fair and GQ for all those metrosexual males out there.

£19.99 for 12 issues!

Until midnight Friday 3rd June, Groupon is offering a year's subscription to a Condé Nast magazine, 12 issues for just £19.99! This is a fantastic deal as usually Condé Nast subscriptions cost a minimum of around £40 even with internal offers (I was lucky enough to receive mine as a birthday present from my beautiful best girls this year!). Perfect as a gift or as a treat to yourself for end of exams, 


Also until midnight on Friday 3rd June, London based make-up brand Eyeko are offering £20 worth of their Tokyo inspired make-up for £8! 

£20 worth for only £8!

Inspired by the playful, colourful elements of young Japanese fashion trends, Eyeko has already been featured in Cosmopolitan, Elle and Marie Claire amongst other publications. They offer a range of adorably packaged cosmetics created on the principles of cute colours and natural ingredients. In particular their range of Fat Balms have caught my eye:

Toffee Fat Balm - £6.50!

The Fat Balms are a multi-purpose product which can be used for lips and cheeks, free from lanolin (which can affect sensitive skins) and also provides SPF 15! They've had great reviews on blogs as well as in the magazines and for only £6.50 for a 2-in-1 product they're a beauty bargain! The Toffee Fat Balm looks to be perfect for Summer, ideal for wear with a smokey eye, dewy skin and a healthy tan for that post-beach chic!

If anyone takes advantage of the Eyeko offer, let me know what you think!
