We’ve all been there. You roll out of bed, rub the sleep from your eyes and climb into your smartest work leggings. With no meetings in your diary you might brush your teeth and/or hair but as far as personal grooming goes, that’s going to be it today…Until your manager/friend/parent etc calls and says the…

The Empties
Do you know, I think this might actually be my first empties post? I was inspired to do one after this by my blogger pal A Life of Style. Anyway, firstly I’ve noticed that this is quite Clarins heavy. I apologize for that but these products are ones that I used to the very end….
