I'd be lying if I said I have been a FANTASTIC blogger.
At the start of the year, I was insisting on blogging nearly every day. There was always a Weekly Wants post; always a Freebies of the Week post; that was just the minimum.
Then I eased off a little. I could hardly lust for beautiful dresses when my life was in tatters.
Then I went through my first break up...there was a blogging series about that....

Body Shop Deep Sleep Dreamy Pillow and Body Mist
Trust me, getting to sleep is not a problem for me. I'd put sleeping on my CV if I could.
The only thing is the quality of sleep that I get.
Sometimes I wake up in the night but the problem is
that I dream a lot. It's like my sleep is just not deep enough?
However I bought this from The Body Shop a few months ago and it has honestly...

A Christmas Party OOTD
Just thought I'd quickly share my Christmas Party outfit with you all!
Last night I went to the Crowne Plaza hotel with my friends from work, up here in Reading. I had such an amazing night; I wish it could have gone on for longer!
I'm wearing a brown Ted Baker dress from many years ago. My bag is from River Island and my...

Mollichaff Alfalfa Light
You know how I like to review things that I win?
Here's a slightly different one for you all. It might not apply to Beauty Bloggers but I'd like to think that it fits in with Lifestyle Bloggers?
I am very lucky to own a horse and believe me when I say that being a horse owner is a lifestyle! Unfortunately being at university means that...

FOTD: Favourite Autumn Lipsticks
Sat at my desk, staring out the window, looking past the Construction Contracts book on my desk, it occurred to me how Autumn is most definitely here now and it must be acceptable for me to use one my favourite lipstick in the daytime now?!
I have kept my face pretty simple today as I was running late for my lecture. The products I used...

An apology
Hi everyone,
Sorry for not posting much recently. I have moved back to Reading to go to university and I have suddenly gained this massive case of writers block. Whether it is the homesickness or how I have SO much stuff to do, I do not know but it's just not happening for some reason.
Anyway, I hope all you lovelies are keeping well and behaving!
Hope to be back and speaking to you all soon,
Love Ashleigh...

Kiko Haul
Hey everyone!
A slightly lazier post from me today I'm afraid, time seems to have left me since I got to university!
My Mum and her partner went to Italy to a wedding and returned with a lovely bag of Kiko goodies for me! Here's my haul video, hope you like it!
Let me know in the comments if there's anything you would like to see a full review on!
I should have drove all night,

Body Shop Born Lippy
Here we have an EXCELLENT freebie.
You know how VoucherCodes have been giving away Body Shop hand creams? Well the last offer was these Born Lippy lip balms.
After finding myself spending an obscene amount of money, (check out my haul video below?!) I traded in my voucher and picked out a lip balm from what was left. I decided on strawberry....

Poundland Finds: Derma V10 Cocoa Butter Lotion
Honestly, I don't know what possessed me to buy this.
Was it the sweet yet slightly bitter scent? The fact that I was running low on moisturiser? The fact that it was a pound?
Yes, possibly all of the above. However I am glad I bought this. It melts into your skin, ideal for just before bed moisturising sessions.
Okay, there are plenty...

Before I announce the winner, can I please just say how amazing it was to hear all the things everybody has achieved recently?
The lovely Tiffany got a job which is fab! Congrats girlie! Chelsea also got a job, at Boots! The Beauty Blogger's dream!

August Empties
Oh my, I have been busy this month!
Facial Skincare
I've been trying out some old sachets of Avon skincare products recently. I'm not overly fussed by the Anew Reversalist Day and Night creams, however the Renewal Serum is pretty good. The Rejuvenate Flash Facial is becoming a firm favourite, it's just a shame that it has been...

50 Follower Giveaway!
What a milestone! For some it is nothing, but it's amazing to think that so many people have subscribed to MY little blog!
My mini celebration should be for everyone of course so I figured a giveaway would be fun!
Not only that, since I started buying a few bits for the giveaway, my followers increased to 61...crazy!
Recently I also faced...

No.7 Triple Protection Tinted Moisturiser
Clearly squeezed every last drop out!
I'm not normally one for a tinted moisturiser. They normally kinda fail on me. Blotchy, patchy or make me turn into an orange, shiny person.
However I really liked this. It came free with one of those little goody bags that No7 do with two purchases. I was a little disappointed that it came in...

L'Occitane Honey Hand Cream
A fab freebie, just a shame that L'Occitane send SO much post after. Ugh.
However, for the occasional promotional leaflet, I can forgive L'Occitane. I would never have picked up the honey hand cream otherwise.
I used to love honey as a kid, but nowadays, the smell makes me gag. Gross.
This handcream smells ever so slightly...

Accidental Boots haul
Lets talk about the economic crisis and how inflation is affecting everything...
Okay, let's just leave it at how prices are going up for make up and it's rather depressing.
I have been ever faithful to my lovely Bobbi Brown foundations and powders for years. However, checking on the website, I saw that the foundation is now £30 for 30ml...

Me time
Words are currently failing me.
Night shifts, with a lack of sleep have sent my body into a state of confusion.
To at least soothe my poor sore body, here are the products that I am treating myself with today.
Paul Mitchell Shampoo Two - My favourite shampoo. It deeps cleans and yes, I do use it every day. I NEED TO! ;)
Paul...

Hickstead August 2013
I love a tradition.
My family doesn't really have any. I guess it's because you never know what is round the corner.
However my Mum and I always use the free tickets for Hickstead which come with Local Rider every July and August. For years now we have done this and we love it.
When we first started going, we watched a fair bit of the...

De-clutter, storage and playing with pretty make up.
Oh I do love a de-clutter.
Finding forgotten products, forgotten memories, forgotten...stuff!
Seeing as I am leaving for uni in about 5 weeks, I figured now would be a good time to think of some new make up storage. I pondered the classic #bblogger clear acrylic storage, but it just doesn't suit me and my needs. However, my big hessian...

No regrets.
I'm not one of those people who tweets or posts a status after something happens, which should be kept private. You know the ones, when people reply with, "what's up?" and what comes back is something along the lines of "nothing" or "PM me." Like, really?
I'm not one of those people who blogs about something with deep hatred either.
A few months ago I blogged about my break up and how I was dealing with it. In that time, I realised...

Kleenex Shine Absorbing Sheets
Sometimes, when I take my water breaks at work, I look in the mirror Wthink...
"Jeez. I am the queen of sweat and oil. Disgusting."
Obviously, working in a stock room or on a very busy sales floor in the Summer can do that to you. It can't be helped.
Then you have that, "oh crap, my make-up!" moment. The slow-mo of your powder and eye...

Ginvera Exfoliating Marvel Gel
It takes a lot for a skincare product to impress me.
My oily/combination, acne prone, sensitive skin is very selective about what can be used on my face, at certain points in the month.
Some products I can use for weeks, then I have to stop using it and find an alternative. It's a nightmare.
I am rarely able to exfoliate as it can break...

My Ultimate Summer Driving Playlist
I have been contemplating my music tastes recently and considering writing a post about it, but after seeing that Money Supermarket were interested in what music us bloggers were into, I just had to crack on with it!
Whilst I am writing this, I am currently discussing music with my friend Josh. I'm flicking through my iTunes, sending...

Etat Pur Salicylic Acid 300
My main skin concern is my oily, acne prone skin.
Let's face it, I am 21. I should be over it by now. Yet, it is still lurking around. Whether it is stress, time of the month, illness or whatever, I will always have it.
Due to my shame of it, I wear make-up to work every day. On the occasions that I have popped in and not worn any, I get;
"You...
