Love Letter: Covert Accessories

Lucky duck that I am, I received an iPad mini for my birthday this past January. I was supremely excited not just because of my love for all things Apple in general, but it also meant that I could buy a snazzy case for it because I'm a massive accessories junkie.I like the challenge of finding perfect accessories due to being frugal and picky about both design and function. 

After several lunch hours devoted to the search, I finally came across Covert Accessories. Not only were they stylish and came in several different designs, but they were actually functional. And wouldn't break my bank.

Look at how gorgeous these are!

I couldn't resit their Calvary iPad Mini case because of it's versatility, stylish looks and wonderful price. I've used it on long train journeys to watch films and enjoyed the integrated stand feature, and haven't thought twice about throwing it in my crammed and messy bag daily because I know it will protect my iPad. Plus the wooly texture of the case with the leather accents are plain old gorgeous. My husband is even jealous of my case. 

A love letter to....By Terry.

Dear By Terry,

I try not to get too terribly girly on this blog, but this is the most sincerest of love letters. Every morning your beautiful Cover Expert in 01 Fair Beige transforms my skin. Gone are pale, dull and discolored patches as it gently smooths away the flaws in my skin, leaving behind an even, all-around glow. On a serious level, this is the most must-have makeup I have ever used in the 10 years since I first purchased foundation. It leaves you with an radiant and natural skin tone that looks healthy and well moisturized (but never oily!). I really couldn't live without it.

I know this foundation really worked when I travelled by train from London to Leeds (a two hour and twenty minute draining journey) to see my now-husband on the first day I used the foundation. In his car in the dark of the train station car park he looked at my face and went "Wow, your face looks beautiful! What have you done differently?"  It's actually gag worthy, I couldn't even make this up. 

By Terry makes fantastic products. Every one I have tried I have been so supremely happy with I could burst, and I just want to spread the word. They are a bit more expensive than the average Clinique, running from £42 for the above mentioned foundation, but so well worth it and a bottle of foundation usually lasts me 5-8 months. 

Another By Terry product I covet is the Touch Expert Advanced. It was the first product I ever ventured trying from the company, and has had a permanent home in my bag ever since I first began using it in November of 2011. I've tried similar products before that woo you with promises of erasing under eye circles and vanishing shadows, and those simply don't come close to the results you get with the VIP Touch Expert Advanced. 

Thank you so much By Terry, for your fabulous products that make a girl look and feel wonderful.
