NET A PORTER HAUL!!

Net A Porter is one of those websites, that I always get drawn too, but never really hauled from. I have spent countless hours going thru the beauty section and drooling over all the candy over there!

I was waiting for the perfect excuse to spend some moolah there, and finally got it when my husband and I decided we were going to take a mini one week vacation to the South of France.

I convinced myself that I really needed travel skincare products to use, and travel beach friendly makeup. So, I went on a clicking frenzy and bought myself the Eve Lom travel Skincare kit, and the Golden Goddess Charlotte Tilbury kit. I then decided that I needed a cream eyeshadow to go with my Charlotte Tilbury kit, and so behold I picked up the cream shadow in Mona Lisa.




But wait, I needed something for my flight to Nice! So, I clicked some more and picked up the Anya Hindmarch travel toiletries pouch. 




I haven't tried the products yet as I am saving them for my trip, but hope you enjoyed the pictures and let me know in the comments if you've ever convinced yourself you need to buy candy that you don't really need.

Subscribe if you would like to read my review on these products!

Gucci Face - Luxe Finishing Powder First Look!

Ok, are you ready to see the most unbelievably chic piece of beauty product around!



That's right how gorgeous is she!!! Ok, so I am totally obsessed with the packaging of Gucci Beauty products! The gold and the black with the G makes me feel so luxe when i use it and when i remove it from my purse for touch-ups. I think I've even gotten some stares of awe from others around me (or i could be dreaming it).



I'm in the shade 50, and I've been using it at home with my Bobbi Brown powder brush. The texture of the powder feels soooo velvety and smooth!! This compact also comes with a small half moon brush to use on the go.



I'm going to test it out for a month and will let you know what my thoughts are after using it. Subscribe via email, so that you get updated every time I post up a new post.

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation - My 2 cents on it


For daily wear i've been using the Chanel Aqua lumiere foundation for about a year, and I was getting bored of it. I love trying new things especially makeup products, and I have tried several times to put a mental buy ban on myself.I failed again! I went out to the mall, walked passed Bobbi Brown's boutique and the next thing I knew I left the store with a new powder brush, eyebrow mascara and the Skin Foundation!

I bought the shade #3, which is the beige color. According to the Bobbi Brown website this foundation is "A truly modern foundation that offers invisible, weightless coverage that looks like skin, not makeup."  This foundation is recommended for normal to oily skin as it is quite light weighted.

My first impressions of this foundation is that the texture is more on the runny side as you can see above in the picture. But, it does pack a punch! The coverage is light and really does feel like my skin, which is perfect for work and normal everyday use. I will say this though, I would not recommend this foundation for that fun night out on a Saturday or that dinner date you have with that hottie on a Friday night.

Would I buy this again? Yeap! I definitely would but I think #3 is a bit too light for me, so I may just get #3.5 which is warm beige next time.

Welcome to All The Dames Things

I wanted to start of this blog with a short hello.

I started my social media journey through Instagram where I shared all my favourite things, new purchases, and glimpse's of my life.

I love beautiful things in fashion especially shoes and bags. I have collected quite a collection of them over the years and I can never seem to have enough.

I started this blog to allow me to showcase more of my love for all the beautiful things i come across everyday, which can get difficult to showcase on Twitter and Instagram.

I hope you enjoy reading my blog and do follow me on Twitter (@allthedamething) and Instagram (@allthedamesthings).

Lots of Heart,
