Trek America

Gosh, so that whole blogging thing went out the window pretty quickly! Last week just went crazy and I just completely ran out of time. So, Im actually in America right now as Im typing this - currently on a Trek America tour around some of the West Coast for a 10 days!  We just left Vegas, which was insane and awesome. I've never experienced anything like it and my head is really paying for it now! I have an insane hangover which is NOT the one and we're going back for two days at the end of the trip. I'll be blogging about my trip when I get back but make sure you follow me on Instagram or over on my Snapchat (llymlrs) for daily snaps and videos live from the scene@ Like me On Facebook - Follow me on Twitter - Follow on Bloglovin' ...

Matte Me Up

BARRY M MATTE ME UP in SHADE 1* Right off the bat I thought I would hate this product. I dunno for some reason it gave me bad vibes. I think the packaging looks cheap and Im just not overly keen on it. But as they always say don't judge something by the way it looks! The Barry M Matte Me Up Lipstick in the shade 1 is an awesome peachy pink lip crayon of dreams. A little bit like my favourite lip shade (Illamasqua Androgen) it's a dreamy peach with a matte finish. The lip crayon winds up to reveal more product, although I actually broke mine with some over zealous twisting! Like most matte lips it's goes on a little bit patchy if you dont prep the skin with a good ol' lip scrub but it doesnt look or feel dry once applied. As a peachy pink champion this has quickly become my go-to lip...

FFG Travels: Palihouse, Santa Monica

So here's the thing. When it comes to Santa Monica, I sometimes feel as if a part of me was always meant to come and settle here. It's a spectacular place with the ocean on its front porch, beautiful store fronts all around, scrumptious restaurants serving delicious dishes from breakfast to dinner and a "scene" like no other. It is, in short, my favourite part of Los Angeles. In fact, it is so close to my heart that I'm often willing to leave my bestie in Silver Lake and check into a hotel to enjoy the beauty of this heaven on earth every time I visit. This time around I tried a new location on for size and checked into the Palihouse Santa Monica. Where do I start when it comes to the Palihouse Santa Monica? I suppose the place to start is to say it was a total surprise. I had heard it was...

With a little love, and some tenderness...

Alright ladies, here's a special little number for your summer wardrobe. Regular old flip-flops are so yesterday. Why shouldn't you have a little fun with your footwear, even if they are simply a step above shower shoes. After all, isn't it always the case that there isn't enough Love in this world? Oh yeah, I just went there. I'm not saying Love flip flips are the answer to all your prayers, or that they'll cuddle you on a cold and rainy late night. But, they will make a fierce style statement and bring smiles to the faces of all that you cross. Isn't that enough?  // JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.
