Tutti Rouge has got girls with big boobs covered at a bargain price
I have on many occasions despaired at the quality of bras for bigger busted ladies, being one myself I head over to Bravissimo and then department stores….never M&S where my flatter chested buddies can buy lots of lingerie sets for such good prices.
I’m a GG/H and I need support. Bras that lift and shape while not costing a fortune has been my eternal hunt. As I was on my eternal quest to find a bra that makes my boobs look perkier and less saggy, I found Tutti Rouge in a Twitter search. They were looking for people to try out their bras so I thought that sounds like me.
They have a massive, pretty range of fuller bust bras at very good prices – normally I would pay £35 – £40 and these are …

Review: salon quality gel nails for a fraction of the price and at home
Gel nail manicures cost me between £10 and £34, with the £10 ones lasting barely a week typically, so I wanted a solution to having beautiful nails without paying the high cost. I have tried “gel” varnishes, “gel” top coats and frankly they don’t look anywhere as good as proper gel cured under a LED lamp. So what’s a girl to do? …spend close to £300 a year on nails or find another solution? decided to find another way and think I have found it with Polish to Gel Transformer Starter Kit from SensatioNail.

My visit to the Primark megastore in Birmingham
The world’s biggest Primark store is definitely worth a visit. We went in the first few days and it was packed, apart from the men’s department, so if you need some space, head down there.
The 160,000 square foot mega store spread over five floors opened its doors on 11 April 2019. It’s huge, fun and cheap.
I was really impressed by the Game of Thrones, Harry Potter and Disney sections….they even have a Primark Cafe with Disney.
Primark began as a single store in Dublin in June 1969 and you can’t find one in every town.
There’s even a beauty studio called Duck & Dry where shoppers can have their make-up and nails done, their eyelashes extended and their eyebrows plucked – Primark beauty price list below.
There are even a personal shopping service, …
