A few weeks ago I received an email from Boux Avenue about a VIP Ladies Night Event taking place in my nearest store.  Owned by entrepreneur Theo Paphitis (Dragon’s Den), I really do enjoy a trip to Boux Avenue!

With 20% discounts, prosecco, complimentary bra fittings, manicures & a goody bag, what was there to lose?!

The event was running from 4pm to 9pm so I headed straight there after work.

As a woman, there is nothing quite like shopping for new underwear & Boux Avenue wrap it so pretty that it’s worth the purchase just for that!

Their sleepwear & nightwear range is super cute & I love their Chemises & Cami Sets.  Perfect for a special occasion or just a Friday night around the house!

I love the layout of the store & the draw storage reminds me of how Victoria Secrets layout their underwear.

They also have some accessories such as candles, reed diffusers, slippers & compact mirrors to name just a few which would make perfect little gifts for Christmas!

After a lovely leisurely look around & after a glass of bubbles, I settled on a few things to take home with me!

After a stressful day at work, it was a lovely girlie evening!

Weekday Treat in Chanel

Posted in Lifestyle, Style by

Chanel-LogoSo, the other week, I was replacing my bronzer  (I swear by Soleil Tan De Chanel. I’ve been using it for over 5 years every, single, day!).

The lovely lady on the Chanel counter in my local Debenhams asked if I would like to come along for a complimentary eyes & lips makeover for the release of their Summer 2015 Mediterrantee Collection. What girl could say no?!

I obviously took them up on their offer & invited my two best friends along with me. I went along on a Tuesday evening after work to be greeted by a lovely Chanel makeup artist who then spent 30 minutes going through what colours I liked, what I would normally wear & what suited best based on my hair & eye colour.

I’m going on holiday next week (make sure you pop back for holiday photos!), so I said I would definitely be back to purchase some bits!

The following was used to create my look:

P151790

Chanel Lumiere D’ete Illuminating Powder (£46) – This powder is shaped as the iconic Chanel Camellia flower, which enhances a naturally golden complexion – making it a holiday must have! It’s Limited Edition so make sure you pick one up for Summer!

P137060

This amazing power was applied using the Chanel Pinceau Poudre N 1 Powder Brush – £44

P186907

Chanel Stylo Eyeshadow in Caroube (dark brown) – £23

P191210

Chanel Le Volume De Chanel Mascara in black – £25 (My friends thought I had applied fake lashes!).

P187901

Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long Lasting Eyeliner in brown – £19

P183910

Chanel Ecriture De Chanel Eyeliner Pen – £27

P173410

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Parfait – £24

The collection is so so so beautiful, with reds, pinks, corals and golds playing a major part. It just screams sunshine & holidays, which is what Summer is all about, right?!

Thank you to Debenhams at The Merry Hill Centre for their time! You can access the Chanel collection online at the Debenhams website here!

Enjoy the rest of your week! x x x
