WHAT'S IN MY HANDBAG?

MoneySupermarket are offering bloggers the chance to win a Mulberry Bayswater handbag simply by sharing the contents of your handbag and the value of the items inside via a blog post. SO here's a peek inside my 'everyday' bag.... 

Louis Vuitton Speedy: £510

I don't tend to carry too much in my handbag (or at least i don't think i do!) so it's actually quite scary to think of how much it all adds up too. obviously the handbag itself is what bumps the cost up, aswell as my phone, but i hadn't really thought about the fact that essentially we're all walking targets to thieves! writing this post has really got me thinking about insurance and also being a bit more aware of the value of my belongings!

If you've taken part in the challenge, please share your blog link in the comment box - i'd love to see what you have in your handbags!

SOLEIL TAN DE CHANEL BRONZER REVIEW

This post is somewhat of an obituary, as i'm sad to announce that my all-time favourite bronzer has been discontinued. i couldn't quite believe it when i headed to westfield to buy a replacement and the girl at the chanel counter told me they no longer stocked it! luckily i managed to buy the very last one that they had so thought i would do a short write up in its honour! 

i love bronzer, it's the one product in my make-up bag that i can't live without and this is my ultimate favourite!   I buy Soleil Tan de Chanel Moisturizing Bronzing Power in #64 Desert Bronze. it's a really nice warm shade that leaves a lovely natural radiance to my complexion without being too orange. It also leaves a slight shimmer on your skin which gives a nice glow and highlights the cheek bones. i often find other bronzers to go a bit 'claggy' on my skin and leave dark orange/brown patches but this is really moisturising and sweeps over the skin flawlessly. 

i'm extremely sad to hear that it's been stopped (i have no idea why!), so would love to hear about any other bronzers people can recommend! Let me know your favourite so  i can find a replacement!
