Beauty bloggers have been on overdrive about Wei Young’s new upscale beauty collaboration with Space NK for some time, so I was excited to see the final product range called Wei Beauty, hit the shelves this month, which is sold exclusively at Space NK shops.

Trend Alert: Maxi Skirts

Do You Splurge on Designer Candles?
FabSugar UK and I both love a designer candle. Recently, she got especially excited over a pink Temperley London for Amnesty International candle, whilst I'm partial to Jo Malone's treasures (specifially the classic Pomegranite Noir, £38).

Fab Field Day: Westfield London Opens
This morning I was lucky enough to be one of the first people to check out the new supersize shopping mall in West London. Westfield London has taken over ten years of planning (and a credit crunch defying £1.7 billion) but it was finally unveiled to the public this morning as it was officially opened by London Mayor Boris Johnson.
A fashion show presenting looks available at the mall starring the gorgeous Erin O'Connor (modeling Marks & Spencer of course) followed the grand opening before Leona Lewis took to the stage.
Product Review: Neom Luxury Organic Candles
Over the holiday, I was shopping with a friend at a gorgeous smelling London boutique. It's funny to describe a store that way, but second to the great clothes and accessories was an overwhelming warm scent.

It's time to snap up some beauty discounts in preparation for the festive season. The Body Shop is one of my favourite beauty hangouts; the products smell gorgeous and the staff are so sweet!
