ELF BRUSH CLEANSER SPRAY

This is amazing for quick cleaning if you ddon't have time to properly wash your brushes and wait for them to dry.

I simply spritz onto the bristles once or twice then get some kitchen paper or an old tea towel and rub the bristles in circular motions so the colour comes off (foundation brushes OMG all the crap that comes off them is unbelievable!) They dry quite instantly so you can use them straight away again.

The ELF website describes it as; 'An anti-bacterial daily brush cleanser for quick cleaning in-between makeup applications. Disinfects brushes to provide a fresh and clean application every time. Helps to keep your brushes lasting longer for extended use.'

It has a fresh, clean scent to it... nothing too strong, i totally recommend this product to anybody.

£2.45 for 250ml from http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk/

TIP for sellers...

2012-01-26T09:55:00.000Z

I've sold a few bits on Ebay this week and i couldn't for my life find all my packaging and brown wrapping paper, so i spotted a few Primark brown paper bags and thought of a great way to wrap items i'm selling. Just turn the back inside out (cut open obviously) cut off the handles and wrap as normal :)

Just as good as normal wrapping paper...

Stuff im loving...

2012-01-25T20:22:00.001Z

Heres a few things i've recently been loving...

VO5 miracle concentrate & Treseme salon finish hairspray

Who hasnt raved about the VO5 product? it's amazing, seriously amazing for the small price tag! I can't stop running my fingers through my hair everytime i use it. Makes hair so soft and silky and helps it grow. I've used it quite alot and as you can see only abit of product has been used up so i can see this bottle lasting me till the end of summer most probably. I wanted to try the MoroccanOil but thought i'd try this as it was much cheaper and does pretty much the same thing. I recommend this to anyone!

This hairspray is the best i've ever used. It's amazing for curly hair, i wear my clip-in extensions for nights out and i always curl them, spritz on this hairspray and the curls last all night, any other hairspray wouldnt do this for my hair. Also the can is hugggeee 500ml, i've had this since November and still have tonnes of spray left in it.

10/10

Jimmy Choo perfume 40ml

O-M-G! That was exactly what i said when i first smelt this perfume when it was first released. It reminds me alot of Victor&Rolf flowerbomb but more light and wearable. It's so perfect, i can't really describe the smell because i'm not too good at describing the notes etc. but it's the perfect girly, classy perfume.

Just beautiful...

Montagne Jeunesse face maks.

I've been using these for years, mainly before a special occassion and just to have a nice pamper sesh.

I have tried nearly all of them and i love them all. The peel off one isnt so much my fave. i LOVE the chocolate one it smells divine. They are perfect little face masks for about £1 from Superdrug, Boots and supermarkets. I've been using them once a week as the winter weather has dried out my skin. I suggest everyone gets a few, cut open the sachet and use half the product whilst having a lovely hot bubble bath and once washed off... you will have gorgeous soft glowy skin :) then you can use the other half next time because theres so much product in the sachet.

BLOG SALE!!!

2012-01-23T23:28:00.002Z

I used to be such a MAC geek, i used to constantly collect and get at least 2 products from every single collection that came out. I'd even buy colours i wouldnt wear, just because they looked good from what i'd seen swatched on other people and looking back i can now see i've wasted far too much money on MAC. It's just makeup! I'll buy high-end makeup now and again only if i know it's good, if i'll wear it often and if its worth the money. I'd much rather buy makeup in more netural shades, colours don't do it for me no more... yes its nice to experiement and go wild... but who REALLY goes out in green eyeshadow and concealer coloured lipstick? Im 22 year old now and have better and much more important things to spend my money on so these items deserve to go to someone who will actually use them rather than collect dust in my bedroom. If you are interested in buying any items please leave a comment below with your paypal address and tell me your location.

Current nails: Dazzling purple

2012-01-23T02:50:00.001Z

The perfect blingy purple nails :)

What i used: Models own 3in1 basecoat and topcoat, primark purple nail polish, revlon facets of fuscia

Recent haul + update

2012-01-17T18:37:00.001Z

I've been so busy as i got myself a job over christmas and it was so hectic, but now i am back :) Heres a lil MAC haul, this is my fave ever powder and i think this is about my 6th repurchase. I had 6 empty MAC products so i took them to the counter and picked out my free lipstick, i took a while to pick the shade i wanted then i finally decided on 'Chatterbox' which is a beautiful girly pink. Im always wearing coral or peach lips so thought id buy a pretty pink shade and i am in love :) its so shiny too and makes the blue of my eyes just pop. Check out the swatch below... (it looks even better with a milky mink lipgloss on top)

It was time to upgrade my contract so i opted for the new Blackberry bold which is amazing, the camera is really good quality too and i got this cute cover for it off ebay for like £2.90 BARGAIN! It matches my bedroom :D

Im forever getting bored of the same nails so i paint or do nail art on them quite often. I did these for my birthday which was on new years eve. I used Barry M 3in1 base and topcoat, Barry M bright pink nail polish and added some pink jewels to the tip of one nail on each hand.

I also got a nice pedicure which was on offer at one of the salons in town. It was £15 for a deluxe pedicure which is normally £25 and i decided on a Creative nail design polish in the shade 'Sweet' my feet were so soft, a pedicure isnt normally something id spend my money on but it was christmas and i wanted to treat myself.

I am now a proud owner of a digital camera :) FINALLY! I paid for it myself and its the Sony cybershot DSC-W570 with 16.1 megapixels. Its really good, i always get Sony cybershots cameras as they are amazing quality for such little price. I will be updating alot more and also have a few blog sales so keep checking back :)

Review: neutrogena multi-defence moisturiser

2011-11-16T21:00:00.001Z

This is just a quick review on the moisturiser im currently using and i must say it's really good :) im impressed!
Neutrogena has launched a new "Multi-Defence" range which is made to protect skin from the five major daily aggressors: sun, heat, cold, pollution and wind.
It comes in a 50ml pump and looks very 'professional' the packaging is very clean and i guess it looks expensive. It also has spf25 which is a huge plus to protect your skin from the damaging sun.
You only need a tiny bit (one small pump will do) and blend it into your skin and neck with your finger tips and it soaks in instantly and isnt oily or too moisturising which is perfect for oily skins like myself
It's perfect as a makeup base too.
I paid £5.15 for this in Superdrug which is a total bargain for a decent moisturiser, i still use my Nivia cream for night time as it's very thick and my skin is perfect the next morning, but this is amazing for day-time i highly recommend it.

*UPDATE 20 january 2012*
Been using it everyday before i apply my foundation, its still really good and is a pretty good base for makeup as it soaks in really quickly and doesnt leave an oily residue but i dont think i will repurchase and i think the SIMPLE skincare range is the best ive tried (and obvz liz earle cleanse and polish) and also this brand is miles cheaper and has better packaging, i hate the pump action pakaging and the bottle isnt completely see-through so you can't exactly tell when you are running out. So overall i give this a 3/5

Foundation hype!!!

2011-11-12T00:35:00.000Z

This has to be the best foundation i have used upto now... i have been using and repurchasing Maybelline dream satin liquid for the past few year but i thought i'd give this a try as its a primer and foundation in one.

Ive been wearing it for the past week and even for work (9 hour shifts per day!) and it's got amazing lasting power and makes your skin look so perfect.

The tube it comes in is quite small but a little squirt of this stuff goes a long way so i can see this lasting a good few month :)

- spf 15

- comes with 'lightscramble luminospheres' which is meant to make your skin look amazing in photos

- cute packaging, very girly

- perfect for any skin type

The shade range is quite poor but i swatched the shade 'naked in the shade' on my hand in Boots and it looked like it would be perfect for when i wear my fake tan... and it is perfect! WOO!

I have oily skin (very oily may i add) but this foundation seems to control the oil somehow but still give a nice dewy glow, dont know how it works but its great!

I apply this with my MAC 187 stippling brush for that airbrush look, then add concealer under my eyes and on blemishes then set with MACs mineralize skinfinish natural powder and my skin looks amazing and even looks amazing at the end of my 9 hour shift at work which i thought would never happen to me as i have such oily skin but i guess it might be the primer thats built into it (dont forget to shake to activate!)

I paid about £11 for this in Boots and im deffo gunna buy more of the S&G products to try out, i totally recommend this foundation to anyone with any skin type, i just wish they had more shades thats the only bad thing i have to say about this product.

WISHLIST

2011-10-12T14:52:00.000+01:00

- Superior Foxylocks extensions £118. Love clip-ins at the mo and i've heard nothing but great comments and reviews about these extensions, the new superior version has a volumizing weft which is what i'm after.. i just love volume in the hair.

- Moroccanoil £12.95 for 25ml. Another product i've heard nothing but good things about. There is the large version which is expensive so i want to get the 25ml bottle just so i can try it out and then if i love it then i'll most likely repurchase the bigger bottle.

- Chanel Mat Lumiére foundation £33. I want to buy this to see what the big fus is about, i'm always looking for foundations to give me perfect skin and i'd love to see how it compares to my cheap and cheerful maybelline dream satin liquid foundation.

- Stila all day waterproof eyebrow colour £13.50. Im sick of using brow powder and when in a hot steamy nightclub it looks awful because it starts to run and dissapear from the brows so i need something 'waterproof' that will stay put and this sounds perfect.

- Too faced shadow insurance. Would like to see how this compared to Urban Decay primer potion.

- The Body Shop tea tree face mask £9. Seen a good review on this on another blog (cant remember which one oops!) and it sounds perfect for oily, spot-prone skin.

- HD brows £20. My local salon does the HD brows for £20 and i want them done before my birthday so i have perfect brows :)

- Sleek pout paints. I tried one of the pink shades on a few weeks ago as i was browsing the collection in superdrug, and it stayed on for ages, wasnt sticky and was so amazing and bright!!! I loved it so i will purchase one and maybe other shades.

- NARS bronzer in either casino or laguna. I've heard laguna is very popular but i know when i wear my false tan or use the sunbed and i go dark it might not show on my skin so i may have to test the shades out at a nars counter just so i don't purchase something online that is too light/too dark and i've wasted alot of money on it.

- New MAC brushes. Would love to expand my brush collection and i love MAC ones, im forever using my 187 brush it has been a life saver, but i would like more of their eye brushes and face brushes.

WHAT I HAVE BEEN UPTO...

2011-10-05T22:13:00.000+01:00

I've been decorating my bedroom the past week and got rid of tonnes of stuff. I got rid of quite alot of old clothes and loads of junk which doesnt get used and i just cant describe the feeling.. its like a breath of fresh air when you get rid of old crap ready for a new room and im so proud of it!

Im one of these people who find it hard to part with stuff and clothes thinkin 'oh i'll deffo wear it one day so i'll keep it' or 'hmm that COULD come in useful so i'll keep that' but now i have learnt that it's better to get rid of old stuff so that you can make way for nice new stuff

Below is a pic of my decorated bedroom, i wanted it to be very wild and bright, i spend alot of time in my bedroom so i want to be in a nice environment that looks pretty.

So i went for a zebra and purple theme which im in love with!!! I also got a new dresser to store all my makeup and perfumes etc. its black and white to go with the zebra wallpaper but its quite low but once i have put up shelves and got everything in place it will look great! All i need now is some new curtains, shelves and a lamp... gunna get a black carpet put down after christmas so it will look amazing :D

Once everything is in place i will take more pictures, hopefully getting a camera soon so lot's of blog posts to come...

MAC Impassioned lipstick

2011-09-22T03:28:00.002+01:00

I have repurchased this twice now, its such an amazing colour which is so unique yet can look good on any skin tone.

I'd describe is as a bright-neonish watermelon pink which goes on really smooth and has a nice sheen but not too shiny.

I sometimes apply Barry M pink lipgloss over the top for ultra sexy hot pink shiny lips.

It's very opaque so one layer is enough and lasts for hours!

It makes my teeth look perfetly white.

Im wearing it in the picture above when i did a photoshoot in spain in 2010 and it looked amazing on professional photos.

Looks amazing with a tan and will look amazing on pale beauties too.

Once i run low on the tube i have now i will deffo repurchase :)

Ins & Outs and a review

2011-09-21T20:23:00.000+01:00

INS
- Declutter and clean out. The past few days i have got rid of so many clothes that i dont wear, so much junk and loads of rubbish i don't need. My room looks so much better and i feel better for it myself. Gunna get my bedroom decorated and the colour scheme will be purple and i will have a feature wall which will be zebra print wall paper for that sexy edge. You dont realise how much junk you actually own till you take the time to sort everything out.

- MAC service... everytime i go to MAC in Newcastle (fenwicks) the girls working are ALWAYS friendly and very helpful and seem so happy to work there, i would be happy to work there too! But i know alot of people complain about the customer service they've witnessed at some stores/counters but im glad to say i haven't got a bad thing to say about the Newcastle MAC counters, must be true when they say everyones much friendlier up north...

- Primark. Ok i know primarni was one of my 'outs' not long ago but i went to Newcastle last week with my mam and she must of spent nearly £200 on me in that store itself! Yes the prices are going up but the quality is getting better, nicer fabrics, wider range of choice, nicer going out dresses etc. I bought a pair of nude, patent leather platform courts for £18 and French Connection are selling the EXACT same pair for over £100. Primark will always be one of my fave shops no matter what.

- Big Brother. This year im very interested in it, mainly because it's full of people the same age as me and full of hotties. Louise is beautiful but lacks personality, Jay seems very genuine i think he has a good chance of winning to be honest and omg Heaven is so bloody annoying. I like Faye out of all the girls she just seems so sweet i'd like to see her be the winner as well as Jay.

OUTS
- Facebook. Has anybody else got so pissed off about all the changes lately? This one is even worse i just don't understand why they need to change it so much and it doesn't seem to get 'better' just more annoying.. grrrr at you facebook!!!!

- Being skint. Just plain awful :( Seeing all these gorgeous clothes and shoes etc in shops and makeup companies bringing out their autumn/winter products when having no job is just teasing me... desperate for a job.

- Pale skin. Urgh i scrubbed off my false tan a few days ago and i look terrible! Don't know if any of you are the same but i just feel ugly and plain/boring being so white. Having a nice tan makes me look abit slimmer too and healthier, can also get away with less makeup so im gunna st moriz myself up tonight :D

BOOHOO

Now i know most of you lovely ladies will know about the website Boohoo which sells fashionable clothes at a very affordable price. Well i received my very first item from them today, i'm going to a wedding end of October and we all have to wear black or white and when i saw this dress on the website i just had to beg my mother to buy me it...
It's called the 'Cassie border contrast hem skater dress' and is available in 7 colours and comes with the skinny belt.
It was only £20 and it's black AND white which is great because i don't fancy wearing just black as i'll look like i've been to a funeral and just white well... if im wearing fake tan it won't be white for very long so this was perfecto :D
I wasn't expecting too much as it's so cheap and obviously it's the first time i've ordered from that website so i was expecting it to arrive and it wouldn't fit properly and the fabric would feel cheap and thin but im VERY impressed.
The fabric is quite thick and the style is very flattering. There was a few complaints about the belt being rubbish (reviews on the website) but I can honestly say i'm fine with the belt.
I can't wait to order some other items from Boohoo and i rate it 10/10. Delivery is very fast too.
Theres not one bad thing i can say about this dress and the service from the website.

TELL ME YOUR 5 MINUTE ROUTINE: Well i'll apply moisturizer on my face and neck, let it set and apply a primer then a little bit of liquid foundation, dust over some powder on top to set it, shade in eyebrows using a mac eyeshadow and slanted brush, apply mascara, blush or bronzer and finish with vaseline on lips. Then for my hair i'll either pin it up in a messy bun or keep it down and naturally curly depending where i need to go.
AGE I GOT INTERESTED IN MAKEUP: I started wearing proper makeup at about 14-15

Nails of the day

2011-09-14T02:37:00.000+01:00

I used 'Kiss' false nails (you get about 200 in a set) and i used Elegant Touch pink nail glue (strong as hell!) as the kiss one is rubbish and makes your nails come off the day after..i then painted each nail with Barry M Bright Pink which is a gorgeous barbie pink colour. Then i applied some crystals on one nail on each hand and i got them in a set from the pound shop which is an absolute bargain :) then went over each nail with a clear nail polish for extra shine

Products i cant live without...

2011-08-04T23:35:00.000+01:00

Sorry but there's no pictures included in this post!
We all have those 'go to' products that we cant live without and MUST repurchase once it's ran out... well heres a few of my faves:

MAC skinfinish natural MSF in medium dark - This has to be the most amazing powder i have ever used and i have repurchased about 8 times (i have almost ran out so will need to repurchase another!) i use this with my MAC 183 flat top kabuki brush which was limited edition a couple year back and it works perfect. What makes this powder to different to others? well it's mineralized so it's baked which i think makes it look more natural and airbrushed on your skin. This colour is perfect when i have a tan (sunbed or fake tan) over the top of my usual liquid foundation and even on photos it looks so fresh and amazing. I totally recommend this to any girl it's got very high coverage too which is always a plus.

Maybelline dream satin liquid foundation in sun beige - I have been using this foundation about 2 year now and i've never used anything else. It's high coverage but doesn't look too cakey if applied with a brush like the MAC 187 (gives a nice airbrush look when buffed in using this brush)
I have used many high-end foundations and also drugstore brands and this one wins them all, i have probably used about 12 bottles of this since i discovered how great it was :P well worth the price (sometimes Boots or Superdrug have offers where it's a few quid cheaper) the original price is around £8.99 which is really good.

NIVEA creme - This product must get raved about soo much, it truely is an amazing moisturizer. It's so creamy and feels luxurious on the skin. You can use it for your face and body which is good for travelling so you don't need to overload on tonnes of different products. I think the best time to use this is before you go to bed (or when you're just around the house) put a thick scoop onto your skin and massage it in, it's like a face mask! Then a few hours later or when you wake up...your skin will have this perfect healthy glow and it will feel so soft and moisturized. Rumour has it that this creme has the same ingredients as the famous (And expensive) creme de la mer which costs an absolute fortune.

MAC blusher in sunbasque - this can be used as a blush (for those who have a tan) or a shimmery bronzer. This is perfect for the summer when the sunlight hits your face because you get this perfect bronzy glow on your cheeks which looks so pretty. I need to repurchase this as i don't have much left. A must have product for every girl in my opinion.

RIMMEL colour show off lipstick in 140 kiss me - This has been purchased twice because it's such an amazing colour. It's a beautiful bright coral/red which is so bright and 'out there' it also looks perfect with a tan. This is one of them bright lipsticks you can wear day-time aswell as evening.

Eyelure false lashes 145 - These are my fave lashes for nights out (also sometimes during day when i want to add some glamour to my eyes) They are so long but not too thick. I have used the new 'double' ones but these always win as they can be used for sexy dramtic smokey eyes or bare-natural eyes.

ST MORITZ false tan - this is a thousand times better than st tropez, similar formula but the price is AMAZING! It also doesn't really smell too bad and it lasts roughly 5-6 days. I use the mousse formula which i find really great and easy to apply with a mitt, i wanna try the lotion next (see how it compares to xen tan!) The aerosol spray is quite good too but requires abit more time to apply. I don't apply it on my hands and feet, instead i use a gradual tan moisturizer on those areas so it looks more natural and blend the moisturizer upto where i stopped applying the st moritz (great tip for you self tanners out there!)

Batiste dry shampoo - been using this since it came out in shops, amazing for those days you feel your hair is abit on the greasy side but don't have time to wash it. Every girl needs a bottle of this somewhere round the house for those emergencies! (Great for camping and short breaks too)

Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner - I am currently using MACs fluidline but i find the Bobbi Brown one applies more smoothly and lasts abit longer.

So there you have it... my top products i cannot live without.
I don't have a fave mascara because i always wear fake lashes so i just buy cheap mascaras and i have so many lipsticks and glosses that i love but that Rimmel one has been my fave one for this summer.

Ins & Outs...

2011-07-22T11:47:00.000+01:00

INS
- False toe nails. These are so quick and easy to use and make your feet/toes look amazing within a few minutes. They look so natural aswell as if you just stepped out of a spa, i've had plenty of compliments on them and been wearing them on and off for over a year now. They last a couple weeks +

- Garnier Intensive 7 days Nourishing Lotion. I got the 250ml bottle in Softening Cocoa butter which smells divine. My skin is so soft from it, i apply it when i've stepped out of the bath/shower after i've towel dried and it feels amazing. Would deffo reccomend this!

- Jogging. Been going for jogs this week with my ipod, got a really good selection of music to keep me motivated to run... i just wanna get fit!!!

- Tanning. Ok so i know its bad, but i love tanning! I look/feel ugly and messy when im pale and also feel like i look 'fatter' for some reason? But tanning relaxes me, i buy block bookings at my local tanning studio and i use various lotions (bronzing, tingle etc.) I just find it better than false tan, dont get me wrong i love false tan (st moritz oh yeh!!) but tanning in a bed is so more natural looking, doesnt smell, doesnt get all over your bed sheets (ew) and doesn't fade in an awful way.

OUTS

- Takeaways/Fast Food. I haven't had a takeaway for about 2 weeks now and i feel so much better for it. Mcdonalds is just disgusting anyway and doesn't fill you up so thats totally out of the window. The only fast food i like is Subway, you can make it as healthy or unhealthy as you want.

- Fizzy drinks. I remember a few year ago i'd NEVER drink a fizzy drink. The thought of drinking sugar made me feel sick, i stuck with water or fruit juice. I wish i had that motivation now like i did back then, but im slowly getting there :)

- Summer is almost over. Yep the shops are getting in their autumn range and it's almost getting towards the winter months. I love summer, just like anybody else. Getting a nice tan, going for days out in the nice sunshine, eating ice cream/ice lollies, going to the beach, wearing cute summer clothes. Winter is boring :( especially when it SNOWS!!! and you can't drive anywhere urghh

By the way i have been having problems with commenting on some peoples blogs, the ones where they 'pop-up' have been ok but the others it keeps taking me back to the homepage to log-in then when i do it still doesn't let me comment :S anybody help me?

Time to get fit and focus...

2011-07-15T16:46:00.001+01:00

Recently i've piled on a few pounds because i've been over-eating alot and doing less exercise.
It totally showed a few days ago when i tried on some trousers and they were tight as a motherf*cker and showed all my lumps and bumps... it totally made me on a downer when i had to take them off and put something baggier on :( it's time to get fit and lose some weight, tone up and just be overall happy with myself again.
When i was 15 i started doing workout DVDS about 3-4 times per week and eating smaller portions of food (i still ate crap but just less of it) and i lost so much weight everyone was shocked... i even bagged myself a boyfriend who i was with for over a year, i felt so much healthier and more confident.
Now its just slowly going back on and im not happy!!!!! I dont feel confident enough wearing pretty clothes anymore, i can't wear tight skimpy dresses to go out in coz i have flabby horrible arms and fat legs and a belly that can look like im pregnant when im bloated (so not a good look)
I dont feel happy or anything, just constantly on a downer from it all so starting from tomorrow morning i'm gunna cut out all the crap (allow myself the odd treat) and eat smaller portions and most of all... get back into fitness!
I have about 6 workout DVDS which are all really good but i just never have the time to do them or feel lazy, they do help lots aswell. The Natalie Cassidy one is my fave as it's easy to follow, the music is decent and she really motivates you to keep going which is a bonus.
I'm gunna start going for runs with my friend starting off a couple time a week working my way up to about 5 times per week hoping to burn all the fat off me and tone up.
I've got dumbells which are really handy to blast off the fat on my arms and also helps burn cals so i'll be doing them alot more.

Pole Dancing - i work as a dancer in a stripclub and you have to dance on the pole at least once per night. Pole exercise is probably one of the best as it tones your whole body and gives you strength (Especially upper body)

I don't like getting judged for the job i do because if you;ve never tried it or been to a strip club you have no idea what it's really like and you would be surprised at how many 'normal' girls do it for a living. I love the pole but i can't do many tricks as i don't have upper body strength but i love dancing around it and feeling sexy, it also makes you sweat because it's still a workout just dancing around it for 3-4 minutes (one song length) but i would love to go to a class sometime soon and learn new moves and gain upper body strength.

Some celebs bodies that i love:

Kim Kardashian: she has toned up so much the past couple of year and looks amazing!!! I love how she still has her curves but is very toned and can look good in anything, thats what i wanna be like, her stomach is amazing and i would love her boobs haha

JLO: i don't really need to explain why i love her body because everybody knows how sexy she is, and for a woman in her 40s she looks incredible. Such a huge inspiration.

Jessica Burciaga: she has to be one of my fave models ever, i have admired her for a good few years now she has the most perfect body ever.. curvy yet toned and perfectly toned arms. I can see why she was in Playboy and in Jamie Foxx's fall for your type video, if i could have anyones body in the world it would be Jessicas. Wouldn't mind her tan either

Some inspirational pictures

Does anybody have any tips they;d like to share? have you weight recently? do you recommend any workout DVD's?

2 day trip to York

2011-07-15T10:35:00.000+01:00

So i went away on Monday 11th July for a couple of days to York. Somewhere away from home but just over an hour drive away.

I've been to York before but only for a day out but this time my mam decided to stay in a B&B which was lovely and very close to everything.

The shops in York are lovely and you also have your basics such as River Island, topshop, miss selfridge, H&M, zara, New look etc. aswell as a couple of department stores to buy your high end makeup (Fenwicks and Browns)

We went to a beautiful restaurant called Lucia to drink cocktails, i had a strawberry daiquiri and my mother went for the pina colada. The food on the menu was very reasonably priced and looked amazing so next time we go to York we are deffo eating there. We had a bad experience at an Italian restaurant called 'Bella' it looked lovely inside but the prices where so expensive and the food was awful... never again!

Everyone in York seems to dress alot different from the people in my area... people dress very casual, minimal makeup, basically dressing for comfort. I find this boring to be honest, i think every girl should dress up a little bit, slap on some makeup (doesnt have to be alot) and have gorgeous accessories. I just think it's nice when people look at what you're wearing and see other peoples different styles... i find casual boring to look at.

I'm currently looking for an Acrylic nail course and want to have my own business going. As you already know, i absolutly love doing nail art and if i can start doing acrylics and run my own lil business, i can do lot's of pretty naill art and hopefully earn a good living for myself.

Some pretty pictures...

Currently Loving:

2011-07-08T06:16:00.000+01:00

Moschino vintage belt. As seen on many celebs (including Kim K)

Need to learn how to save money... this is about £200!

Ins & Outs...

2011-07-07T21:32:00.000+01:00

INS

- Twitter. Totally become obsessed with twitter, i joined over a year ago but just recently got into it and i can now see why people find it addictive. Stalking celebs just got easier

- Weather. How hot has it been recently? i went to Magaluf in Spain end of May and its been hotter in England!!! It's too hot to sleep at night but i just love the heat during the day and catching a nice tan.

- Michael Kors watches. I've been wanting one of these bad boys for so long they are quite expensive but they look so classy and can make any outfit look 'complete' especially loving the gold ones.

- Thierry Muglar Alien perfume. The nicest smelling perfume i've ever smelt (upto now) ... it's my absolute fave and it's so strong yet so feminine and just lingers on for hours...

OUTS

- Primarni. Don't get me wrong i do adore that shop but recently the prices have been getting higher and their jewellery/accessories have become more 'tacky' looking. I also hate going in when it's so busy and theres screaming kids everywhere and people pushing and shoving.

- Celebs and diets. Sick to death of seeing in magazines how so and so has lost weight or why this celeb has been starving herself. im simply not effing interested!!!! If you wanna lose weight why not exercise more and eat more healthy? nobody wants to starve themselves and nobody wants to look like a skeleton just coz half the celebs do. So not reem.

- Hair extensions. I recently had hair extensions put in before my holiday (micro clip rings to be precise) i spent nearly £200 on getting them done and they've totally ruined my fucking perfect hair!!!! I wish i didn't get them, i already have perfect long, healthy hair but just wanted abit more thickness and volume and extra length but my natural hair is ruined and gone all awful, i've pulled half of them out and left with a few bald patches, gunna have to invest in some clip-ins when the rest of them come out. Seriously, don't get micro-rings they fuck up your hair, no matter how 'good' everyone says they are they clearly have no understanding of healthy hair!

WISHLIST

2011-07-01T05:35:00.002+01:00

Just a few things im wanting at the moment; Topshop teal/grey dress £42, D&G watch sale £177, Boutique leopard dress £49, River Island feather earrings £12.99, River Island leopard platforms £55, Moschino vintage belt £prive varies, Vivienne Westwood bag £215, Juicy Couture baby blue tracksuit £180, Kendra Wilkinson autobiography £amazon

Helloooo...

2011-07-01T04:40:00.001+01:00

Well im back on blogspot and i can honestly say i've missed this sh*t!
Past few weeks i have been checking up on my fave blogs and also a few new faves have been added to my list and i just got totally jealous of everyones blogs and all the cool things they post about and the prettiness of it all etc. so i decided to make a comeback and this time i will stick to it...
For those of you who don't know anything about me, well where do i start? My name is Becky (everybody called me Becky Boo.. dont ask) im currently 21 years old and i live in the UK, the North-East of England to be precise. Im totally addicted to makeup, shopping, everything girly, glamorous, trying out beauty products, making an effort with my appearance and keeping up with the latest trends.
Obsessed with celebs such as the Kardashian sisters, Jennifer Lopez, Nicki Minaj, Katie Price and a few others... My fave colours have to be pink (obviously), blue, purple and coral.
Im an only child and i love it... no sharing anything... no coming second best.... and i get spoilt!
Totally love music, could not live without it... always listening to some sort of music whether its R&B, hiphop or sometimes even dance when im in the mood. Got an unreal selection of tunes on my ipod and love making my own CD's for my car.
Recently been doing lots of my own nail art and buying lots of pretty polishes, i've always loved art since being so young and i love making my nails pretty and unique and getting compliments on them.. nobody ever beleives me i do them myself but i guess thats a compliment!
Fashion: yes i love it...as much as the next girl. Love buying new clothes and going in a store and looking at all the gorgeous clothes, i hate it when i have no money and have to window shop but that doesn't stop me from trying stuff on and imagining it being mine or trying killer heels on and wishing they were in my wardrobe. I love to follow trends but i also love being comfy when chilling out at home or just popping to the shops, just throw on something casual like a juicy tracksuit (amazing invention) or some leggings and a colourful top. Handbags and shoes are my weakness, one day i will own lots of designer handbags and amazing shoes but right now i can only dream...
What i want to be when i grow up... well im already pretty much grown up but not really in a secure job right now. My dream job is to be a celebrity makeup artist, my absolute dream! I know im capable of it, i have good skills, i get asked by my friends to do their makeup now and again and love how i bring out their 'best features' rather than just slapping a pile of crap on their faces... i love blending different eyeshadows together, creating lots of definition, making eyebrows stand out and making skin flawless. I love seeing girls with a smile on their face when they see what abit of blending and using the right tools etc. can do. I just want to see people happy and make them feel better/more confident. Only problem is, i wanna do a makeup course down London but its so bloody expensive i need to meet a sugardaddy or something... and dont even ask why i cant save up, cause i dont even know what the word 'save' means!
So anyways... this blog will be mainly about beauty and fashion, the odd rambling on about stuff in my life, plenty of reviews and pretty pictures.

I hope you all enjoy reading my blog and become a follower, i promise to update as often as possible and keep it reem

Get yer FIX+ out!

2009-07-26T13:43:00.001+01:00

I'm sure most of you who buy MAC will probably own a bottle or two of FIX+

I just wanna show how you can turn it into your very own 'mixing medium' without going to MAC PRO.
Just grab any eyeshadow brush, spray the FIX+ onto it so that it's damp then dip your brush into any pigment you want to use and apply..
The Outcome? vibrant, long lasting and easier to work with when applying. You can see a HUGE difference in the pic above.

Recent Haul: July

2009-07-24T15:40:00.000+01:00

I've done quite a few posts earlier today and i thought i'd do another one showing you guys my haul of this month. I've bought most stuff for my holiday, stuff from duty free in the airport and just random stuff from when i've had cash left over from my holiday. I popped into town about an hour ago and i was gunna buy the GOSH darling until i swatched it... it's exactly like MACs limited edition 3N lipstick which i already have so that can wait for now. Don't get me wrong it IS a very pretty nude colour with a hint of pink undertone but i saw something that caught my eye which is a Barry M lip paint in 147 (it doesn't have a specific shade name just a number) it's a very pretty pink/coral and it's matte.. i want to check out more of the lip paints they had a nice colour range. I was also going to get the Revlon matte eyeshadow which i posted about earlier but i couldn't be bothered to drive all the way to Boots just for a shadow so i may get that next time.

So heres my haul of July:

False Lashes: Cheryl & Nicola Eyelure lashes, these are absolutly amazing, abit on the expensive side (about £5 per box) but Boots currently have a deal on where you buy 1 get 1 half price which is quite good. My fave ones are the ones by Cheryl.. they are very thick and wing out at the ends which give you a sort of 'exotic' look which is so pretty. Today i bought the NYC lashes i've always bought the NYC glamour lashes they are just soo good, fab quality and only £1.99.. the natural (far right) also look nice and thick so i got them too for the same price.

This is my YSL Rouge Volupté silky sensual radiant lipstick in 13 Peach Passion, i've heard so many great things about these lipsticks so i decided to buy one at duty free in the airport on the way to Greece. I love coral lips so Peach Passion was a must have for my collection, now let me tell you.. i've NEVER had a lipstick thats glided on so perfect in my entire life, it's total perfection and for the price so it should be. The colour is very flattering, it's moisturizing, i love the way it glides on so softly and the packaging is so luxurious. I paid about £18 for this and i would deffo save up to get more shades, i suggest you head to your nearest YSL counter and check out these babies. (Im wearing this lipstick in most of my holiday photos)

Nail Polish:

1. Rimmel 030 Double Decker Red - just a basic glossy red.

2. Rimmel 193 Black Cherries - i've posted about this previously but it's just a dark gothic red-based purple shade, perfect for autumn.

3. Barry M 291 Cobalt Blue - the name says it all just a gorgeous bright cobalt blue shade, it's very nautical and summery, fab to brighten your nails without being too much.

4. Collection 2000 Hot looks 33 Button Moon - a pastel mint green colour, i can't wait to wear this shade!

5. Collection 2000 Hot looks 35 Dynasty - saw this the other day and kept picking it up but i put it back and got the 2 Rimmel ones, i then saw Lollipop26 blog about it so i went into Superdrug today and there was an offer 2 for £2.99. It's a very cute lilac colour and i can't wait to wear this shade either.

6. Barry M 296 Coral - you know me and my corals, i LOVE the colour sooo much and when i saw this i just HAD to have it, there was also another offer on at Superdrug.. any 2 nail paints for £4.99 which is why i got this shade and the Cobalt blue. This is such a bright neon coral though, very hot for summer.

Perfume: I got both of these Duty Free, Stella McCartney and JLO Sunkissed glow. I've wanted Stella for about a year now, everytime i go to a perfume store i need to smell it and spray it all over myself.. it's a very strong scent, i'd probably wear this for more special occasions and for a night time and the JLO one is very summery and fruity i'd wear this during the day or hot summer nights.

Hair Products: With me being abroad in Greece, the sun totally dried out my hair so i thought i'd invest in some new hair products.
I'm all about volume at the moment and i LOVE big hair, so i saw these new Tresemmé products on offer in Boots.
1. Tresemmé 24 hour body Sculpting Spray Gel - this gives my hair volume and also keeps it in place for hours, it's been really good upto now so i may repurchase when i run out.
2. Tresemmé 24 hour body Root Boosting Spray - I hate having flat roots or just totally flat hair all together so i got this too which lifts your roots and gives the top of your hair some 'body' it's best to be used on towel dried hair then blowdry it with a round brush.
3. L'oréal Elvive re-nutrition replenishing masque - this has totally helped my dry hair become healthy and nourished again. It's specifically for dry or dried out hair and has royal jelly in it which is known to give plenty of hydration, and trust me this stuff really works, my hair hasn't been dry since i've used this stuff and i've only used it once, i want to check out the rest of the range.

Skin Products: I needed new foundation as i ran out of my Maybelline dream satin liquid so i bought another one - it's my fave drugstore foundation and it covers perfectly but is still very natural looking.
2. Estee Lauder double wear light - i used the original formula last year which i also got from duty free and i thought it was amazing but the glass bottle/packaging was a nightmare so i opted for the light version this time which is in a squeezy tube and it's exactly the same product it covers perfect, lasts hours, doesn't rub off in the heat and the shade range is great too!
3. Heard soooo much about this fake tan, St Moriz which i heard from Lollipop26 and on other beauty blogs, i then spotted it in Home Bargains a few weeks ago for £2.99 so picked it up. I won't be trying it for a long time as i have a nice natural tan going on but i think i may pick up a few more bottles because i'm always really pasty in the winter time and this will come in handy. I used to wear St Tropez but that costs a bomb! like £20-£30 a bottle for the mousse version and this is meant to be so much better, looking forward to trying it.
4. Bioré pore perfect shine control moisturiser - i've used this before and loved it, it smells so fresh kinda like cucumber and melon and it feels so light. It controls oil very well too and is a great makeup base.

Makeup: Needed some basic makeup items so i picked up these...
1. Natural Collection juicy lips gloss in Fondant - this reminds me of MACs underage lipglass which is a pink/beige creamy nude so i picked this up as it was about £2 and i actually like it.
2. Collection 2000 fast stroke liquid eyeliner - heard good stuff about this liner for years and it's super cheap so i thought i'd try it out as my Bobbi Brown gel liner has almost ran out. It's not bad but i'm deffo gunna go back to my gel liners as they are easier to work with.
3. Rimmel professional eyebrow pencil in 002 Hazel - this was the lightest shade they had, im sure they have a lighter one but i was desperate for a brow pencil but the shade isn't too bad with my blonde hair. I also like the lil brush on the lid which softens the lines out for a natural look.
4. Natural Collection lipliner in Almond - i needed a natural lipliner shade and this was very cheap so i picked it up and i absolutly love it, the perfect nude lipliner.
5. Barry M lip paint in 147 - as previously, a gorgeous pink/coral matte shade.

...and heres a swatch (sorry about the pic quality, it's from my phone)

I also bought a Rimmel lipstick the other day in 'Coral in Gold' which is a stunning shade of coral with a gold iridescence, it really brings out my blue eyes too.
