GOODBYE WINTER AND HELLO SPRING

Thursday, March 20, 2014 | Posted by



Today is the first day of spring! woo! and what better way to start it off then to introduce to you all my latest lipstick buys. Goodbye winter lipsticks you did me proud and hello to all my lovely vibrant spring/summer lipsticks. 




That picture makes me so giddy! eek! I love how vibrant, bright and colorful all my new lipsticks look. From bright pinks and oranges to soft corals and pinks, with a night out on the town red. I am very much ready for the spring/summer but as a beauty addict i know that many more will catch my eye! Beauty blogger problems, Bring it on!  
I also Had a very exciting moment today when i realized that with my Natwest credit card , every pound i spend gives me 1 point, well i had 8793 points and you can put them towards shopping vouchers,experience days,food and so much more! Well as a beauty addict i decided on getting the boots vouchers, i grabbed myself £40 worth! First word springs to mind is WOWIE! Now i can get loads of makeup, yay! 


So Firstly say hello to my lip balms.







Starting from the left

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in the beautiful shade Crush - I love how soft and smooth this makes my lips feel. A gorgeous scent of mint which awakens your senses. A dark but vibrant shiny color which with just one application leaves a nice flush of color but to intensify the color give just one more application, I like it to be extra dark so i do this. The color stays on your lips for hours and your lips feel lush! A brilliant retractable design and I love the packaging as its easy to identify when with all your other lipsticks



Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm in the vibrant night to day shade Whimsical- A perfect mix between a gloss and a balm and once again a fresh scent of mint, which i adore. Leaves my lips feeling extra soft and hydrated, great pigment of color leaving a high shine finish. It contains Shea, mango and coconut butters to moisturize the lips so that's a bonus. I love this color A medium dark frosty cool toned pink.


Mua Power Pout in a intense tint & balm in the get your attention shade Runaway-A 3 pound balm that is a great alternative to the Revlon colourburst balms at £7.99.Cracked lips say goodbye and hello moisturized lips with a soft color. It goes on light on the lips and it is honestly a lovely color. I am very happy with my purchase and i am looking forward to trying some of the other shades available.



No7 High Shine Lip Crayon in the sorry to say disappointing shade Tickle- A high shine balm definitely true to its word but the color its self is almost invisible, just a shimmer. I have used this though on top of a orange toned matte lipstick and its look lovely. So i will be putting this to use but just not in the way i hoped,sadly! 




So there it is My 4 new lip crayons :) 

What do you think ?

Which is your Favorite ?


Hope you liked the post and tomorrow i will be telling you what i think to these 4 lipsticks!



EEEEEK!!! :D

ELF-EYES LIPS FACE HAUL

Tuesday, March 11, 2014 | Posted by


How nice is it to actually wake up to the sun shining ? How can you not wake up and smile, it honestly makes such a difference to my day. I literally jump out of bed but this morning unfortunately for me I jumped straight on a plug! Ouch! There is 2 ways I could have handled this situation one cry like a baby and roll around on the floor and swear repeatedly at the plug and shout at the plug like it's a living thing, or I could look around make sure no one saw me ( im in my bedroom)then start to whistle while my eyes look at the ceiling and  brush my shoulder and swagger it out! I cried like a baby.

So I wanted to share with you today all the beautiful products what I bought from elf. I only recently found out about them and im always so excited when I find a new brand to try! I rushed on their website, I couldn't believe how cheap everything was and then I saw also that they had 50% off too, I was so giddy! The website is so easy to navigate around which makes it such a good shopping experience. I initially added all the items I liked to my checkout bag but my bag came up to 150 pound, I had to have a few words with myself and then I brought it down to 7 items which came up to 16.82! How good is that?  



The service I received by elf was great and I received the items so quick! I came home from a long day at work and my items had arrived, I was like a kid at Christmas!
I also needed advice on eyelashes and the elf twitter team responded pretty much straight away and helped me find the perfect pair, it was such a nice personal approach!

So I purchased the high-definition powder which i am so excited to try, i am just going to do a little research on what is the best way to apply this. Two blushes in the shades Candid Coral and Twinkle pink. An eyebrow kit and I purchased this in dark. I have used this twice now and I have to say i am so impressed, I was little unsure if to buy this as for 2 years I have used Browzings by benefit and it's always worked great for me, but as it was so cheap at just £3.95 compared to the benefit one which is around 23 pound, the price defiantly did win me over! This will now replace my Benefit Browzings,my bank account will be happy and my eyebrows will carry on to look amazing! Its a win win situation.Even more amazing then normal i must say, my eyebrows look loads thicker! I will defiantly be doing a more detailed review on this product.
I also purchased two Moisturizing lipsticks in shades Rosy-go-round and Coral Cutie! I haven't as yet tried but the colors look beautiful so I just hope they look as good on my lips. Fingers crossed! Last but not least I bought the 32pc Eyeshadow palette in the colors everyday, they are all such beautiful colors , sparkly ones and matte ones, it has such a good range of colors! The name everyday suits this palette as its got every color to suit any occasion.

Elf Moisturizing lipstick in Coral Cutie
Eyebrow Kit In Dark Brown

High Definition Powder

 I  am so excited  to try all my elf products and as soon as i have worn them at least a few times i will put a post up telling you what i think! :) 

 I Did use my elf 32pc Eyeshadow palette and my eyebrow kit on Sunday to achieve my Cheryl Cole inspired make up look!   Go have a look! :)  (Click on the purple highlighted writing)

 Hola Guys!

Today I have for you a Cheryl Cole inspired look. A  perfect nude lip which complements the bronzed copper eye shadow with a winged eyeliner perfectly. Followed by an always most defined eyebrows and a glow of pink on the cheeks. This look would be perfect for any special occasion










I teamed this make up look with the following clothes as the sun is shining and its made me super excited for summer! 


Trousers are from Primark


Top and necklace are both from River Island

If I was to go on a night out I would team this with some wedges and a statement clutch bag!
Perfect for those hot summer evenings.

An alternative look to put with the cropped trousers is this beautiful pastel blue jumper from Dorothy Perkins!
I have teamed this with a collared blouse underneath the jumper! I proper adore this look! Would look great with a skinny blue jean too!





What do you all think ?

Makeup Is not a tool meant to make an ugly thing beautiful,It is meant only to magnify the beauty that already exists.
