Forks and Brushes

In UK, I think Suqqu is most known for their cheek brush because it’s almost a staple in Lisa Eldridge videos! Closely behind are their Liquid Eyebrow pen and their moss green eyebrow powder . But no one really talks about their other makeup items nor their skincare… Recently I was in the market for a new foundation and feeling spendy, so I popped into Selfridges to try their Frame Fix Foundation Lightness SPF 30 , and it’s a whopping £58! (eeek..!)

Did you take advantage of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales? I did! Debenham had 10% off on all beauty on Black Friday sale but then House of Fraser had 15% off on beauty on Cyber Monday! It was the best discount that I have come across (Bobbi Brown never have discounts), the perfect chance to get the two Bobbi Brown brushes that I have been eyeing up forever! They are the Full Coverage Face brush and the Sheer Powder brush . I am obsessed with powder brushes as powder is a step that I never missed in my routine. Full Coverage Face brush has a short handle which will have better control in application and is great for travelling. I am really excited to use them and I shall report back with a more detail review. Bobbi Brown Full Coverage Face Brush - House of Fraser - £30 Bobbi Brown Sheer Powder Brush - House of Fraser - £30

This is the first ever F&B Xmas gift guide! I have planned three guides in this series: Gifts over £25, Gifts £25 or under, and Gift under £10/Stocking Fillers. Today, I start off with the Gifts over £25. I have only picked 5 gifts in this category, as I feel that under the current economical climate, let's be realistic - we are all trying to spend less if possible, but value for money, so for this over £25 guide, I am not going to go crazy here.

If you are a serious makeup addict like myself, you will have the experience this: you have been refraining from buying a product for some time, because: a) you have already owned similar products multiple times; or b) you have bought so much recently that you are trying to save money; or c) your beauty stash are so overflown into every corner of your room. However, after the same product popping up on different beauty blogs over and over again, you finally convince yourself that it is THE ONE PRODUCT that you NEED, RIGHT NOW! Today, I am going to share with you the products that I bought under the abovementioned scenario.

October is the Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And today 13th October is Secondary Breast Cancer Awareness Day . It is a day dedicated to spreading the word about the other side of breast caner, the incurable side. This shows how important it is for all of us to be aware of it, and don't feel embarrassed to talk about it with your GP if you have any concerns or worries. It is also very important that we support the good work that the Breast Cancer Research Foundation have been doing.
