This weekend I found myself in the the beauty lover's heaven that is Sephora, and on the Champs-Élysées in Paris no less - cue angels singing. I've always been incredibly jealous of those lucky enough to have a store in your own backyard - all the best brands in one black and white stripy space, and lets not forget the adorable minis on offer. Believe it or not though despite spending over an hour in there (much to Darren's disapproval) I only picked up one thing for myself!

I Went to Sephora and Only Bought One Thing


This weekend I found myself in the the beauty lover's heaven that is Sephora, and on the Champs-Élysées in Paris no less - cue angels singing. I've always been incredibly jealous of those lucky enough to have a store in your own backyard - all the best brands in one black and white stripy space, and lets not forget the adorable minis on offer. Believe it or not though despite spending over an hour in there (much to Darren's disapproval) I only picked up one thing for myself!

It's pretty much a guarantee that I'll be making a big splurge in Boots around this time of year. The Sun comes out, blossoms are on the trees and drugstore brands start dropping their Spring releases which never fail to catch my eye. Cue a haul! This one comes with a bit of twist as I throw just about everything I bought straight onto my face and share my first impressions with you, including a new foundation love, a mascara that I was less than impressed with and a few interesting dupes for some higher end favourites!

Bonjour from Paris! On Friday morning - at 4am no less (snore!), we were up and heading to the airport for a weekend of fun at Disney! I think early flight times are definitely the way to go for plane-phobes like myself as I spent most of the hour long journey more concerned with going back to sleep than the fact that I was a thousand feet up in the air.

There's something incredibly satisfying about finding budget dupes for some of the most coveted high end products out there, especially when they come in at less than half the price of the originals with little difference in formula, colour and packaging. This week I've picked out some of my favourite drugstore alternatives that in most cases match up almost identically with their luxury counterparts and a few that I actually prefer!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you've already found yourself in a full fledged chocolate induced coma on the sofa, but if not I've got a super easy recipe thats guaranteed to get you there! Usually I'd stick to a healthier kind of treat (see my post on some good-for-you alternatives here) but as we find ourselves quite literally surrounded by chocolate, what better time to indulge than now!

Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me! Four years ago this week I opened my laptop, created a blogger account and proceeded to spend the next eight hours (in which I should have been sleeping) creating I Covet Thee. I kid you not - Darren left me on the sofa, went to bed and woke up to find me in the exact same position frantically typing away, trying to wade my way through the daunting world of HTML.

I Covet Thee Turns Four!


Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me! Four years ago this week I opened my laptop, created a blogger account and proceeded to spend the next eight hours (in which I should have been sleeping) creating I Covet Thee. I kid you not - Darren left me on the sofa, went to bed and woke up to find me in the exact same position frantically typing away, trying to wade my way through the daunting world of HTML.

So this post is almost a week overdue (although I was convince I'd already written it.. where is my mind!?) but I thought I'd update you all anyway as what better way to spend a rather gloomy Wednesday afternoon (Spring, see you soon?) than catching up on a new monthly favourites video! March's picks are another short and sweet bunch, but a good lot nonetheless. Some new skincare additions have finally trickled their way into my regular routine and a I'm having a moment with all things light, sheer and dewy in the make up department!
