I think Lena Dunham is a bit like marmite - some people love her and some hate her. Personally I can't get enough of her, and I'm currently reading her book 'Not That Kind of Girl' for the second time. If you've watched her TV show Girls - which I also love - then you'll understand when I say that this book is made up of personal essays, lists, emails and stories about what Lena's 'learned' so far. I have a post dedicated to this coming up so I won't say much more, but it's one of the best books I've read in a while. 

With the depths of winter comes my tight, dry skin that refuses to cooperate without the most moisturising routine possible. This has actually been sitting around gathering dust for a while, but luckily a few weeks ago I decided to reach for it again and I'm glad I've rediscovered this winter skin savour. 

Oh god is this beautiful - I was so surprised and excited to receive this amazing Charlotte Tilbury palette from my younger sister for Christmas. The colours are so me and compliment my blue eyes beautifully - I am in love with the terracotta colour and the lower left bronze shimmer colour is to die for. I'm already eyeing up another CT palette - the Vintage Vamp looks especially tempting!

  7. Hrmm.. I'm not sure. Because there isn't really a progressive story line I don't know if you'll like the end more. That's a shame - why didn't you like it? x

  11. Like I said, it's a love/hate situation, but if you like her book then you'll like Girls and vice versa. The palette is a dream x
