My favourite tweet of the year so far has got to be “when we put the clocks back, didn’t realise we put them back to the Ice Age - baltic!”. I agree with this on a spiritual level. I’m flipping freezing. Between 8 cups of tea and evening, a blanket and a hot water bottle, I still seem to be struggling to be warm. I’ve also always struggled to get past the hoodie-leggings-boots winter-wear combo and dress ‘nicely’ in the colder weather. I’m on a quest to have more fashionable colder weather options and look more feminine and chic; less bulky vagrant. So here’s my latest Femme Luxe Finery haul, but this time it’s a winter edit.

PIXI BEAUTY SKINTREATS HAUL + FIRST IMPRESSIONS
It’s been many many many moons since I last ventured away from my holy-grail, much-loved, ride-or-die Liz Earle skincare, but I may just have found the range that can banish it to the back of the bathroom cupboard. I used to spend hundreds of pounds [yikes!] on skincare; I tried loads of different brands in all sorts of combinations until I settled on the Liz Earle collection because I love the botanicals, the vegan formula and the way it made my skin look and feel. But MOVE OVER hun, for I have just discovered the miracle that is Pixi Beauty Skintreats!
I only wandered in to Boots for a little something to cheer me up - maybe a body scrub or a bath bomb is really all I had in mind. My local Boots shop is nothing more than a corridor made up of two rows of shelves and a pharmacy, so I never expect to be dazzled by what I can find in there. I was just browsing the skincare section when noticed - right on the bottom shelf - a small selection of Pixi Beauty products with a proud ‘New In’ sticker on display.

A LITTLE PRIMARK HAUL
Ello ello ello! Nothing too exciting here; just a few bits that I picked up from Primark this week. I literally can’t walk past a Primark without nipping in, and this little haul is quite restrained for me. I’ve been known to spunk a hundred quid in 20 minutes - it’s a problem.

ANOTHER FEMME LUXE FINERY TRY ON HAUL*
This blog is starting to look suspiciously like a Femme Luxe Finery fan-account and I’m sorry if you’re finding this to be an overload of these try-on hail posts at the moment! The truth is, I’m having such a great time collaborating with these guys; I’m surprised at how much I like the clothing despite having my serious reservations about the ‘vibe’ of the website initially.
It’s really nice to receive these clothes, try them on and look GUUURRRD. I didn’t expect to - I thought I’d look like an absolute moron (all flat-chested 5ft2 of me) in these Kardashian-wannabe pieces. I like to be proven wrong. And although we’ve had a couple of hiccups with sizing and quality so far (see my previous posts for details!) I’m really loving what I’m trying from ‘gram-famous Femme Luxe Finery.
