New Purchases!

Hello there chums!

I am currently writing this blog post from my holiday apartment in Paris. I don't own it or anything, just hiring :) But anyway, one thing I look forward to whenever I find myself in France is a good old trip to Sephora. 

To some readers this may seem odd but I've actually only ever been in Sephora twice, including today, because they don't have it in England (I know, Shocker!) which means that whenever I do get to enter this blissful little haven I get very over excited!! I also end up spending a lot of money.. Whoops!

So this is the stuff I bought. From left to right, top to bottom: 

Sephora Rounded Crease Brush '13'

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eye Pencil 'Deep End'

Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream '20'

Sephora Lip Pencil 'Cute Caramel'

Sephora Shadow Brush '25'

Sephora Sparkling Metallic Eyeshadow 'Outrageous Metallic Black'

Sephora Long Lasting Eyeshadow 'Sunday Brunch'

Sephora Long Lasting Eyeshadow 'Disco Fever'

So here are the swatches, I love all these colours and didn't really have any others like these. If anyone wants reviews on any of these products then just leave me a comment saying which ones. As yet I haven't had a chance to try all of these products but I'll be sure to report back when I have!

Guess who's back..?

My exams are over!! YEYEYEYEYEY!! *happy dances*. Which means I now have a whole sumer filled with nothing but blog posts and YouTube videos!

So on to the point! I recently received a late birthday gift joint from my Granny and my Aunty which was lots of M.A.C goodies…

  From left to right: 'Nightmoth' lip pencil, 'Brave' lipstick, eyeshadows: 'Humid', 'Jest', 'Vex' and 'Brule'.

Aside from Humid and Jest these were all things I'd asked for but forgotten about. Humid is such a lovely rich green, it's a frost so it has a beautiful shimmer picking up all different shades of green and gold in the light. Jest is also a frost. A salmony pink with a silver iridescent sparkle. Vex is another frost, but the most interesting one to me. As you can see in this picture it looks like a grey at first glimpse, but when you see it in deferent lights it also has levels of lilac and green. the colour is so complex yet so flattering to wear! Next on the list is Brave. the only way i can some this one up is it's a pink 'your lips but better' shade, and instantly became my new favourite for a daytime look!

Lastly is this lip pencil in Nightmoth. The colour I originally asked for was Current but as this particular MAC store didn't stock it they were assured this was the closest thing to it. its a very deep purple, perfect for a big statement lip at a party or event!

Do you have any of these products? What do you think of them?

Sorry for being rubbish!

So about a week ago I posted my first '30 Day Snap' post. Now the idea of this is that everyday you post a picture of something you did/that happened that day.

But really I couldn't have picked a worse time for that sort of a challenge! I'm right in the middle of my final exams in my last year of school (A-Levels or Finals if you're American) and I am majorly stressing about this! Plus there's the whole uni thing and exams aren't exactly easy for me which isn't a massive help..

Not that I'm making excuses other than the truth.. So yeah lovelies, sorry for starting something I couldn't finish (Gosh it sounds like I'm breaking up with you…which I'm not…I promise).

Love you loads!

30 Day Snap #1

Hello friends :)

So this is one band waggon that I am a little late in jumping on, but I only just found out what all this daily snap malarkey was about! But now I know I'm fully on board.. So here it is!

This snap is just a silly one to start today but this is my breakfast this morning! Now let me explain…
So personally I don't like milk. I hate the smell and the taste and even the texture which I know is quite odd! But because of this distaste I have eaten my cereal dry with no milk for the last 11/12 years. I recently went on a summer health kick looking for that bikinis body that all girls want for the beach holidays and bought this All Bran cereal. After trying it I decided it might taste better with a bit of milk…So today I tested my theory. For the most part I was right but I hate the way milk makes your cereal soggy,, it really grosses me out and even discussing it now is making me feel sick!

Sorry for the long winded story but I felt like I should explain the context of this odd post! Also,, I am aware that you can't actually see any milk in the above picture because the bowl is white and I only put a tiny amount in,, so I also took a proof picture ;)..

Here you can just about see the tiny dribble of milk on my cereal,, I really couldn't stand to put anymore in!

Do you think it's totally strange that I don't eat cereal with milk on it?? And are you a fan of the 30 Day Snap??

Face Mask Friday #2

Hello lovely readers!

So since its exam season the stress levels are running high! So the reason that I wanted to do a Face Mask Friday was the exact same reason that I kept forgetting to do one! But everyone loves a good face mask, don't we? So last week (because I'm running a bit behind) my sister went to a Lush party and brought home a face mask she made, deciding to get involved in the FMF festivities! With it being chocolate flavoured it does vaguely resemble excrement but we're thinking happy thoughts…

So yeah like I said… it looks great! (I'm a very sarcastic person…do forgive me!) So this contains various things like chocolate obviously, cocoa butter, talcum powder, a sugar paste all among other things that I don't know because I wasn't there, sorry! And then my sister lovingly topped it with chocolate chips for decoration. So cute and lovely!

So unlike the Montagne Jeunesse face masks which everyone knows and loves, this mask was a bit more lumpy and the consistency was a lot thicker. You also can't feel it deeply penetrating the pores of your face like you can some of the Montagne Jeunesse masks. I am told that this mask is very good for spots but I am so far unconvinced from one use.

So you can see here the texture is not as smooth as some store bought face masks. But despite all the ways which it differs from common face masks, it was still very relaxing to have on and a nice thing to do with my little sister! I also think that making your own face mask is such a cute idea from Lush and I encourage everyone to pop to a store and try any and all of their products!

Much Love xoxo

A Fantastic Little Service..

Hey beauties :)!

So I was recently referred to a website when was tweeting with Nic from Pixiwoo. She recommended me the Anastasia Beverley Hills Brow Wiz pencil (which I now own and love) and said you could get it at Professional Online Makeup (www.pomltd.com). 

So I made an order at POM on a Wednesday. It said my things would be dispatched on Friday, estimated delivery on Monday. On Thursday I got an email saying that my package had been dispatched and then it arrived on Saturday. This is fantastic service! I didn't know if they just weren't busy at that time or what but I couldn't have been happier!

When it arrived the envelope was wrapped in bubble wrap as one would expect from such a parcel (went a bit posh there!). The items inside were put into a little plastic bag with a POM sticker with a little bit of ribbon attached like a rosette. A nice touch. It also came with a very sweet professional looking business card saying 'With compliments'. So cute!

So here are all the things I bought from POM. Two new Real Techniques brushes, and the Anastasia Brow Wiz, along with the little business card. I am thrilled with the service I have received from POM and will certainly be using this website again! Their range of brands is so extensive and I really do recommend anyone who reads this to go and check out their website (linked above). And I hope you all end up loving the site as much as I do!

Thank you POM!!
