And finally...after ditching the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish (unfortunately, it did absolutely nothing for my oily/dry combination skin), I've since moved onto this cleanser by the brand Eve Taylor.
I stumbled across the brand after having a facial recently - and its super gentle cleanser has quickly become a staple skin care product for me. It's made my skin silky soft and so far I've not had to endure any nasty break outs. It also produces little lather when wet, which I believe is a sign that few harsh chemicals have gone into it? I thoroughly recommend it if you're looking for a new cleanser.

Usually, my daily moisturiser is this cheap, cheerful but equally effective one from Clean and Clear. But when this fancy schmancy one (pictured below) dropped through my letterbox from the Burt's Bees PR team, I was intrigued.
A night cream, this moisturiser for sensitive skin is fragrance-free and full of lovely ingredients. I'm looking forward to giving it a proper go.

I've replaced my Bourjois Rose d'or blusher (stunning colour by the way) for this slightly scary looking one by Sleek in the shade 'Pixie Pink'. Don't be put off by the colour in the pan; when used with a light hand this gives a lovely rosy pink flush to the cheeks. Tres impressed.

Listening to....
CSS! The band is due to play my hometown of Lancaster at the city's library (yep, a library - you did read that right) and I'm ridiculously excited. They play the evening before we go to see The Drums in Manchester on their UK tour. Two bands well worth checking out, if you haven't already.
Also worth a listen this week: Kate Jackson's (formerly of the band The Long Blondes) new solo stuff (currently available to download online for free). Go and have a look if you get a minute.
Watching...
That 1930s classic, Top Hat - played out on stage at Manchester's The Lowry last week. Me and my Mum bobbed along to the show (starring Strictly Come Dancing's Tom Chamberlain and former Hollyoaks' actress Summer Strallen) on Thursday - and absolutely loved every minute of it.
Based on the film of the same name (featuring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers), the show was captivating from start to finish. Featuring tap dancing, great comedy and some top notch acting; (seriously, you wouldn't believe an actress so good came out of Hollyoaks!) it was no wonder the show attracted a sell-out crowd.
Enjoying a three-week run, the show has now finished; but make sure you have a look at this YouTube clip below. I challenge you to watch it without tapping your toes ; )
Anyone who's in Manchester should definitely check out the Lowry's website to see what's coming up. I've got my eye on its Christmas production of Scrooge!
Looking forward to....
...a visit from some old university chums in a couple of weeks' time. As a result of their impending arrival, I'm madly trying to get my flat organised so it's looking suitably spic and span. I have a job on my hands...
