A Trio of Treats

As I'm sure you have gathered my internet is finally working again, albeit very sporadically so whilst its on my side I thought I'd show you a a couple of bits I picked up when I went for a walk around Brighton. I was feeling in a spendy mood but I was just finding it difficult to part with my pennies. In the end I just picked up a few bits in Boots as L'Oreal was on 3 for 2. 

I've been using the L'Oreal True Match foundation for a couple of months which I've really been loving and whilst I don't usually buy the matching concealer when I saw it I thought I may as well see if it works just as well. I'm suffering with both under the skin and normal blemishes so I'm hoping it will work well at covering them up without looking dry and cakey. Watch this space.

Now I definitely do not need any more eye shadows, especially as not so long ago I spent a small fortune on starting a MAC palette but you know how it goes, you spy a colour and cant leave the shop without taking it with you. Which is exactly what happened when I saw the Colour Riche L'Ombre Pure in Quartz Fume. Its a gorgeous cool toned brown with a very slight coloured glitter running through it. I cant wait to use this to bring something extra to a smokey eye. 

Recently I've been on the hunt for the perfect liquid or gel eye liner so I can finally get the hang of winged liner! So far its not been a successful search but I'm hoping this Super Liner Black Lacquer will be the answer. Its good a small nib which I like but its also pretty sturdy which I find helps with control. I'll update you after I've put it through its paces. 

So that's the three treats I picked up recently, I'm hoping that the spending will stop there as I've just booked a surprise trip for Allan's 30th birthday and with Christmas just around the corner its going to be save, save, save. I see a spending ban on the horizon... 

What bits do you like from L'Oreal? 

Technology has failed me!

We have some technical issue up in here. Much to the dismay of myself and my sisters, our internet has died. Sky, as always are hoping to sort it within the next days but so far there's nada. So due to my lack of organisation (slaps on wrist) it will be a little quiet this week on Along Came Kelly! I will be back to normal next week I hope, but for the time being this is a lesson learnt...plan in advance! 

In the mean time please go and download Houzz if you haven't already! I am obsessed with looking at all the lovely houses on there! 

P.S This has post has been written on my phone so god knows how it will end up but please forgive me...and blame my internet instead! 

Daydreaming about Decor

I'd bet my last Babybel (yes I adore them!) that I'm not the only one that has gazed in wonder at Pinterest's Home Decor section, am I right or am I right? I'm not going to lie, home decor is not one of my strong points, I always have an idea of how I want things to look in my head but find it difficult to translate into real life. At the moment I'm quite thankful that I only have my bedroom to contend with as I still for the moment live at home with my parents. I'd love my bedroom to have a minimalistic vibe about it but I just love knick knacks too much, I've got decorative candles on every ledge, yes decorative - god forbid I was to light them. Whenever I'm out shopping and see something cute that would match my room I just have to pick it up without even giving it a thought as to where it would go or what I would do with it! 

When I do move out I would like to take a slow approach to decorating, as otherwise I'd be like a bull in a china shop and it would be total mish mash as there are so many different styles that I like! The plan is that I'll be moving in with my boyfriend who recently brought a flat which is currently a total blank canvas which definitely needs some girly home touches, I've already dabbled a little by buying Allan his first candle - which of course hasn't been lit yet ;)

I just love the white minimal look with adding a little dash of colour, especially in the bedroom above, purple is my favourite colour so this is definitely something I'd love to recreate! Owning a cute colour Smeg fridge is on my bucket list, and the way it fits into a white kitchen is just adorable. For now though I'll have to stick to daydreaming and pinning away to my hearts content! 

Dont forget to check out my Pinterest boards here, and leave

your link too - I love to waste spend hours

endlessly searching. 

Getting Into Autumn | MAC Hot Tahiti

The idea of summer is a lot more desirable than actual summer for me, I get so hot and unconformable, I never know what outfits are acceptable to wear and sleeping at night becomes near to impossible! I always have more of a smile when I see the leafs on the trees starting to turning colour and the days getting cooler. 

To help get into an autumnal mood (not that I need any encouragement) I've been loving wearing MAC Hot Tahiti, its the perfect transitional lip colour. Described by MAC a soft reddish coral, one that's great for those (including me) that are too scared for the really dark colours or just not ready for the full autumn/winter look. Although in the bullet it looks very dark it translates lighter on your lips. Its a glaze formula so not the most long lasting product available but its one that I've been reaching for a lot during the day, paired with a soft smokey eye. 

I picked up Hot Tahiti at IMATs back in June but its only been in the last couple of weeks I've been using it and I cant wait to wear it more often. It may be one that I you might overlook amongst all the other lovely colours at the MAC stand but its one I really think you should give a try at this time of year. 

What lipstick have you been loving at the moment?

Have you tried Hot Tahiti before?

101 Things in 1001 Days - Update

Its been 8 and a half months since I first wrote up my 101 things in 1001 days which if you didn't catch it you can read it here. I didn't think I'd chosen very difficult things to achieve as I want to make it more realistic to complete but true to Kelly form I haven't managed to tick off very many, a mere 11 to be precise! One of which I managed to complete this month. 

During my recent holiday to Greece I managed to tick one item off the list Read 12 books in 12 months. Thannks to it being the most relaxing holiday I've had in a long time I was able to read 7 books in 10 days! Yes by far my biggest achievement in my reading history! This smashed my target and I've managed 17 with 3 months left to go! 

In October I am going to make a conscious effort to tick things off and write about them as I go. One I'm really keen to complete is number 72 Complete something crafty once a month for 6 months. I think this will be really fun and I'd be able to show you guys what I got up to! 

Do you have a bucket list your working on at the moment? Is there anything you'd love 

to do in the next few months? Are there any crafty ideas you 

think I should try?
