Solent Fort Review!

Hello My Lovelies

Last week my sister and I visited No Man's Fort after booking tickets a couple of months ago on Groupon, in the past we had held off visiting as the prices were a just a little too steep but this deal seemed too good to miss.
Living on the Isle of Wight we see the forts regularly from the beaches and had read lots of articles about how well renovated they were and so we were super excited for our visit.

We took the boat over to Gunwharf Quay and checked in and then grabbed ourselves a little bit of breakfast at Carluccio's, before long it was time to board the boat out to the fort. We stopped off first at Spitbank Fort and then continued on for another twenty minutes for our destination.

On arrival at No Man's Fort we were welcomed by staff and invited to have a glass of champagne, we then were able to walk around the fort. My sister and I headed straight away to the rooftop and were taken aback by the 360 degree views, with Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight just a stones throw away. We also took a wander up to the top of the lighthouse which again gave spectacular views across the Solent.

At 2:00pm we popped down stairs for lunch which was a cold buffet, lots of scrummy foods were on offer and bottled water to wash it down. Later in the afternoon tea and coffee were available with my favourite teabags from Teapigs!

For the last few hours we took a full walk around the Fort, the layout and decoration of the room were all superbly kitted out and made me want to come back for a over night stay ASAP. With the likes of Phillip Schofield loving the Forts and regularly staying its hard to no agree with him.

If you ever have the opportunity to visit either Spitbank or No Man's Fort then I would urge you to book.

Till next time,

Superdrug Surprise Parcel!

Hello My Lovelies

Last weekend the lovely people at Superdrug surprised some of it's beauty card holders with a special little box of goodies. It arrived through my post box last Saturday and was an utter shock as I wasn't expecting from them. 

The box was super heavy and once I ripped my way in I realised why! Full of lovely products including a mini Superdrug Solait SPF 30, trial sizes from Nivea & L'Oreal. Oh but that wasn't all...

A Nivea beach ball perfect for my many days on the beach here on my Isle and finally...

A Bondi Sands self tanning mitt and a full sized Urban Fudge Miracle Ends which smells amazing and I can't wait to try!


Thanks Superdrug!


Did you receive this gift through the post? Was it a surprise for you too, let me know in the comments!


Till next time,

Superdrug Vitamin E Spray On Moisturiser

Hello My Lovelies

I almost feel bad writing this post as it's now a discontinued product but I wanted to let you know how fab it is and then if your lucky enough to see one of the last ones in stock then to grab it!

It's the Superdrug Vitamin E spray on all over body lotion. Having never used a spray can of moisturiser before I grabbed this when it was on offer at £2.20, at the time I thought maybe I should buy two but decided that it would still be there next time-how foolish was I.
After using this super light, non greasy moisturiser for a week I decided to go back in store and get another but there wasn't any, I then tried on the Superdrug website and there wasn't any. I finally decided to tweet Superdrug and that's when they said it had been discontinued!! I hate moisturising, so I'm really disappointed that now I've found a moisturiser I like and it's been axed!!


I'm now tempted to try the Vaseline version....Do you have any recommendations? If you see any of these left in your store I urge you to pick one up.


Till next time,
                  Tori.

Feeling Spendy Haul!

Hello My Lovelies

And...in the words of Amelia Liana I've been feeling spendy which is never a good thing for my bank card, whoops! How ever I do love all of the items I've bought and hope you do too....

First up is the Chanel Joues Contraste blush in the colour Rose
Glacier a soft pink with gold flecks running throughout, the gold isn't too strong so doesn't glitter on the cheeks- just a  very subtle colour. I also picked up Mac lipliner in the colour Soar, which I think will look fab come autumn.  

Now this particular scarf was on my latest wish list & when Very Exclusive had a discount day with free delivery I didn't hesitate. I have longed for an Alexander McQueen scarf for years, I jus have a feeling this won't be my last!


Have you bought anything from your wish lists recently, let me know in the comments.


Till next time,
                   Tori.

Empties Number 8!

Hello My Lovelies

Welcome to another empties post, here's what I've been using the most of in my stash!

I've never tried the Original Source body washes before so when I saw this on offer and the scent smelt great I dropped one in my basket. CB12 mouthwash is a repurchase and the only mouth wash that I will use, I picked up it for £1 which is a bargain as its usually £5! Finally another repurchase from Collection and my holy grail drug store concealer. I've tried to buy this again recently and it seems to be sold out every where, the search continues!

Next up face wipes.... No7 are a repurchase which I again bought when there was a voucher to be used in Boots ( are you noticing that I love a good bargain?) and the Burt's Bees wipes that were bought for my birthday and were my product of the month!

Finally three, yes three cans of dry shampoo...I'm not usually a fan of dry shampoo but sometimes I'll use it every day and before you know it you've used up three cans. I'm absolutely loving the Colab cans and will definitely be buying some different scents to try especially when they are on offer in Superdrug.

What have you been using lots of recently, let me know in the comments!

Till next time,
                      Tori.
