Clarins Water Purify One-Step Cleanser

You know those nights when you come back from a party or from clubbing and you just can't be bothered to wash away the makeup ? Yeah. Except that at the back of our minds we know that we can't not wash our face or next thing we know we're going to have spots all over our face. I have recently found this little treasure in my  "beauty closet" ( yeah it's just a room with toiletries. Ha!)

This One-Step Cleanser has Mint Essential Water in it which really refreshes your face. All you have to do is  get a little but of this water on some cotton wool and then separate it in two ( that's what I did to make most of the product.). You're going to want to wipe your face a few times with this to make sure you get all of the foundation off. I was a little skeptical the first time I used this because I didn't think it could really remove all of the makeup but this actually does the trick ! So impressed. It also leaves a very subtle scent on your skin which actually makes you want to sleep. But maybe that's just me. If you are the type to go out partying a lot and then sleep with your makeup on this might quite literally change your life. 

You can find this at Boots or Debenhams for £18.50 or at feelunique.com for £16.65

Think of this as an investment or even a life-saver ;) 

Eighteen

On the 5th of December I turned 18 ! I didn't celebrate on that week-end instead I went out with my parents and sister at Dean Street Townhouse and had a lovely brunch (the Townhouse burger was delish!). This Friday  I went out with the girlies ! First stop : Suka at Sanderson. What a lovely restaurant and hotel ! There's a great ambiance and if you want a night out with your girls this is the place to go.

TADA! So that's what we did for for my eighteenth :) It was so much fun and i'm so glad I got to spend it with my closest friends.

Outfit Of The Night

This is the outfit I wore on Friday night to celebrate my eighteenth ! Featured in this outfit are my Carvela Babies ! Sian commented on the post saying she was looking forward to seeing how I was going to style them so here it is ! :)

I'm the one in the middle. DUH 

Top : Urban Outfitters 

Skirt : Zara 

Heels : Carvela 

I know I could have done a better quality picture and maybe a picture on which you could see a little more of the outfit but I have an upcoming post with all of the pictures taken on that night so you will see more of the top. A quick description of it thought is that they have holes on the shoulders and the they are long-sleeved and I am in love with it ! 

Carvela Babies

In case you weren't aware I am a shoe-a-holic. Shoes + Sale = Laura goes Gaga. I got these babies at the Harrods Sale for £45 (they were £120 initially) BARGAIN. 

How gorgeous are they !? They're not so hard to walk in which is good news. They are great for summer and winter as well... I have only good things to say about these so yeah.

What do you think about these ? 

Last few hours of being a kid ! WOOP WOOP 

The Exchange

If you live in SW London then you probably will have hear of The Exchange in Putney. Situated on Putney Hight Street The Exchange has quite a few interesting shops you can pop in before (or after) grocery shopping. 

First stop was Neuhaus where I met with Polly. 

We had a tasty hot chocolate accompanied with some scrumptious chocolate. You can never go wrong with chocolate ! But these ones are particularly tasty :) 

Farrago is a nice little gift shop with lots of bits and bobs that can be useful for birthday presents. They also have a good range of candles which I love. 

Last but not least one of my favorite stores of The Exchange is Melvita. Holy Moly these guys have some hot stuff in there ! If you are into no paraben, organic products for your body then do chek this store out. I've tried their Apicosma range and loved it here's the review I wrote. 

These are only a few stores that you an find at The Exchange. There's also a good range of high-street stores like Office and River Island and of course a Waitrose ! 

I would always go to The Exchange when I lived not too far from it because of it's practicality ( easy access by bus) and also because even if I came to get some groceries I could still indulge in a bit of shopping because a girl can never have enough things to buy ! 

Sorry for this mega hiatus on the blog and I promise to be back in action with more posts coming right at you during this week-end and week.
