I recently picked up this Tom Ford lipstick in Cherry Lush during my personal shopping experience at Heathrow T5 Airport and thanks to the great prices, I saved around £7 on the £37 RRP

The Botanist, Newcastle

The Botanist, Newcastle

Last night, Mr T and I went along to the official launch of The Botanist but just before Christmas I paid a visit to The Botanist for a girly lunch and it was a sheer delight.

Taking up residence in the old Monument Mall food court, the space has been transformed in to a botanical garden (get it?) of wonder and amazement. As you enter the bar you are greeted by a huge tree filling the existing glass atrium, ringed by the well stocked bar. Dining is placed towards the front of the building with views out over Greys Monument and the surrounding shopping streets.

Garnier Micellar Extra Gentle Cleansing Wipes

 

 

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Wipes

I know the beauty world is divided when it comes to facial wipes.

I have a foot in both camps. They will never replace a good, thorough cleanse but I believe they have their time and place.

Following on from the micellar explosion, Garnier have rolled out a micellar impregnated wipe. Super soft and gentle on the skin, the wipes make light work of even the thickest long-wear make up.

I have been testing them out to remove the bulk of my make up before I do a full cleanse and my skin has been feeling cleaner and clearer.

 

Currently stocked only in Tesco, they are on offer <£1.50 for 25 wipes so it is well worth checking out.

White Monk Tea Room – Blanchland

White Monk Tea Room – Blanchland

Last weekend, we visited our favourite little country village, Blanchland for an afternoon tea at the renowned White Monk tea room.

Situated in the rolling countryside not far from Derwent Reservoir, Blanchland is a picture perfect village which is popular with walkers, bikers and people just passing through on a day out. Previously situated in what could be called a scout hut, the White Monk tea room now reside in an impressive central village location ensuring you pass it whichever way you hail from.
