A Body Shop Haul

I feel like The Body Shop doesn't get half as much credit as it deserves. They do the most amazing skincare, and their shower goodies are to die for. They're even bringing it when it comes to makeup! Over the last few months I've picked up a few things so I thought I'd bunch them together into a haul. I was very kindly invited to The Body Shop Middlesbrough back in August to check out some of their latest ranges, and then I also attended a Body Shop At Home Party with my girl Ella! So here's what I picked up...

Autumn/Winter Yankee Candle Haul

It's no secret that I LOVE a Yankee Candle, well in fact, candles in general. My love of candles first started with Yankee Candle Wax Tarts, as I found it was the best way to sample scents without splurging £18+ on a large jar that I didn't even end up liking. This past year I'd got myself into a rut of buying large jars on sale and then not even enjyoing them and literally having to burn then in another room. #burnandavoid. So I decided to head over to eBay for a tart haul to sample the latest A/W scents.

A Fresh Start

The last time I posted was JULY, but to be honest, this year I just haven't felt it. I completely lost my love of blogging. My mojo was gone and I didn't know how to get that badboy back. I dunno if it's because my life has become super busy since I started my own business as a nail tech from home, or because George and Freddie take up ALL my spare time. Probably both.

I've been wanting to get back into it, but every time I sat down to write a post, I didn't know where to start. I felt as though I'd outgrown my old blog and it's name, and what I needed was a fresh start.  

Alas, It's KT was born. My business name is Beauty by KT (my initials), so I wanted my blog to run alongside that.

I'm still gonna be posting my usual beauty & lifestyle related codswallop, but I also wanted to include more important parts of my life, including our journey in Autism with our 5 year old son, George.

I'm hoping the blogging community is still as gorgeous and supportive as ever as I restart my journey.

MAC Velvet Teddy

Could this be MAC's most popular lipstick? I reckon it's up there! I finally got my hands on Velvet Teddy - don't ask me why it took me so long! I've always had this irrational fear of matte lipsticks, don't really know why, as one of my alltime faves is a matte (hello Rimmel Kate Moss 107). Anyway, I finally decided to treat myself and ohhhh was I pleased. Guys, it's bloody GORGEOUS. Literally the perfect brown nude.

The Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Dupe

Who doesn't love a good dupe? Well, I've found a bloody good one for you all today. Although I can't take full credit for this one, as I first saw it posted in the Facebook group 'Mrs Gloss & The Goss'. The big bunch of enablers, ha!
