FOTD - 5th June

Here's a very quick face of the day - it's been a while! Today is the second day of this Jubilee bank holiday thing and as the husband is working I'm super dooper bored. I probably won't see another soul all day so thought I'd stick some piccies of my make up up here and show you lovely lot. Face - Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation and Concealer, Benefit Hoola on cheekbones Eyes - From the Sleek Bohemian Palette - dark brown on the lash line and socket, black on lashline - Black Avon eyeliner on waterline and Bourjois Volumizer Mascara on top and bottom lashes Lips - nothing!

Simple as that! This is fairly typical of my every day make up and I really like each one of these products and would repurchase every one of them. Hope any of you celebrating enjoy the rest of the bank holiday!

Cushion crush - part two

Oooh quick post from my iphone so hopefully this works! Following on from this post  my striped eBay cushion covers have arrived and are now on the spare bed so I thought I'd share a few pictures...

I know it won't be to everyone's tastes but I like the combination of the colours and the patterns.  Just a couple more accessories, some fab art work and a light fitting and that'll be the room done!

Cushion Crush - Posh Pigeon

It's probably a sure sign that I'm turning into a old woman but since I started "doing up" my spare room/dressing room I've been hunting high and low for nice cushions to go on the bed to give it a bit of a lift.  I want to incorporate the whites, greys and navies I'm bringing into the room while still giving a bit of a nod to cream as well, my carpet and walls are cream and I don't have many spendy beans spare at the minute so it will be staying that way for the foreseeable!

I've always been a bit scared of patterns but Pinterest has encouraged be to be a bit braver with having some clashes going on so I thought cushions were a good place to start.

Here is my wish list for cushions.

• 3 cushions
• to have cream, white, navy and grey
• 2 smaller matching
• 1 larger quirky "feature cushion" 
• £50 maximum budget for all 3 (who knew cushions were so expensive eh?!)

I have friends coming to stay in a couple of weeks so yesterday I bit the bullet and decided to get some cushions ordered.  Two striped cushions from eBay (not arrived yet but cost £9.48 in total for 2 including delivery) and this gorgeous "Posh Pigeon" cushion by Sixes and Sevens which I bought from Urban Cuckoo (I think I might have bought the last one from here but I think it is available elsewhere online).

First off I wasn't going to post about this until possibly I had the room finished but I thought I should as I was very impressed by how fast the delivery was from Urban Cuckoo.  I ordered it at lunchtime yesterday and it arrived with me this morning.  It cost £37.55 including £3.95 delivery. And the cushion is the cutest thing I've seen all week!

So 3 cushions, including a bit of a splurge on the "feature" pigeon = £47.03.  Now I just hope the eBay ones are OK and they all look good together.  Eeeek.  I'm starting to think I'm not brave enough to pull off having a mixture of colours and patterns.  To be continued...
