A special day for a special couple

Today I have had a permanent smile of my face.  The obvious reason is the royal wedding.  I'm so proud to be British today of all days!!  I love weddings but today was soooooooooo magical to watch.

Could they look anymore happier?????

Catherine Middleton officially became a Princess today and it was an amazing sight.  Who could not be happy for them?  A beautiful moment was when Catherine reaches the altar with her father Michael and William says 'you look beautiful'.  Who could not say a big Awwwwww to that?

One sad thing though, is that William's Mother Diana wasn't there to witness this splendid event.  I'm sure she was looking down from some heavenly cloud :-)  I swear it was her keeping the rain at bay.

A small detail I have to mention, that DRESS!!!! O-M-G!!!!! I thought my wedding dress was beautiful, but Catherine looked like the most beautiful thing on the face of the planet!!! 10 out of 10 to the dress designer Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen.  She deserves a huge HUGEEEE pat on the back for that!!!

I hope you had a beautiful day!!!  I'm watching the BBC wedding highlights, even though I saw the wedding live this morning.  But I don't care...I can't get enough!

Shadow Collection: Urban Decay

Before I even discovered who MAC were, I was a massive Urban Decay eye shadow fan.  I collected their shadows with a passion, then I bumped into MAC and kind of ditched Urban for MAC.  The shame!!!  I'd forgotten how fabulous they were until I dusted them off recently.  I thought I give you a quick glimpse of what I have...

Top row: Eldorado, Blunt, Polyester Bride, Shot Gun Asphyxia

Middle Row: Acid Rain, Sin, Maui Wowie, Last Call, *empty, need to depot S&M to put in there*

Bottom Row: Vert, Baked, Twice Baked, Crash, Stripped

They used to be all in their individual pots, but when I read somewhere that they fitted into a MAC palette I decided to depot to save on the space.

If you want swatches or any of these let me know, and I'll do another post.

I'll have to say my favourite's are Sin, Baked, Gun Shot and Last Call.  The latter two work really well together...I'm considering showing you guys a make up / eye shadow look.

Some of these I 'think' have been discontinued :-( but if you check out online you might be able to still pick them up :)

Lush Easter Goodies

Last week I was on a bit of a downer as I thought I’d lost my engagement ring. I sometimes take it off especially when it’s slightly warmer as my little chubby fingers swell up.  Long story short turns out my cheeky monkey of a kitten knocked it off my bed side table under the bed. Tut tut.

Any way when it was missing or stolen ( I was convinced it was)  in the time, as a cheer me up my hubby picked me up some Lush goodies.

I’ve liked lush since for ever.  I remember going to Convent Garden on our teenage ‘trips’ into London and sniffing all the bath bombs.  I always thought it was over priced however.  So I found it a little off putting....shame.  Might be about to change my thinking though.

With Easter just gone Lush came out with some seriously cute Easter theme products..... see Lush website here for full selection.

My hubby picked this duo to cheer me up....and so it did!

 How cute!?!

Fluffy Egg Ballistic with the additional Bunny Knot Wrap

Smells like the Snow Fairy shower gel  bubblegum and bananas.  Looks so cute you don't want to unwrap it.

Lush website even shows you how to create your Bunny... see here.

Mums Avobath Ballistic

This was limited edition for mothers day.  Though I am not a mother yet my hubby picked it up for me.  Contains mashed up avocados and a lemongrass scent.

I’m normally a shower girl but I may have to start relaxing with Lush goodies more frequently.

Are you a Lush fan???  I might have to go to Lush and pick up some goodies!!!
