Merry Christmas everyone..
 
I hope all of you have had an amazing Christmas and have put your feet up and relaxed over the festive period, you sure do deserve it.
 
Before I start lets begin with the boring old disclaimer that has to be done so that people don't get a cob on and think that i am showing off. If your one of those people , or just someone who doesn't like to read these types of posts then please click off the page and read one of my other posts :)
 

Really into my nail posts recently, don't know if you can tell?

This little gem i found whilst browsing the shelves of a TK Maxx in Manchester one October morning. I've never thought to look at the beauty shelves here, but I'm so glad i did.
I picked it up for a tiny £6.99 which is a bargain as it retails at £22 

Ive never tried any ciate nail polishes before so for £6.99 i thought this had to be put in my basket and come home to live with me :)

What a great collection, all of the colours really complement one another, and are really on trend this season.




First off how cute is this packaging, each window in this house is filled with a ciate mini polish


Hey Dolls,

Who doesnt love the kardashians? I for one am a big fan, I would love to live a day in the life of them all.

I absolutly love their make up looks, so when i seen they released a beauty line, i really wanted to see what it was all about.



I absolutly love this time of year, the berry lips, the big oversized jumpers, starbucks red cups, lush baths, festive pjs and just festive spirit.

This year im feeling more festive than ever, im ready to get the christmas tree up and start wrapping my presents.

Other than the obvious winter oxblood lips, im all about the nails to.This year Barry M's AW14 collection is fantastic, a mixture of berrys, greens, blues, and even mustard.
I recently won a competition on Barry M's Twitter Page where i won an amazing 30 nail polishes from their most recent collection.

First up is the 10 Gelly Nail colours i recieved, all super wearable and perfect for the season to be jolly.


L-R Chai,Cardamon, Mustard,Paprika,Cocoa,Chilli,Pomegranate, Watermelon, Blackberry,Plum




Okay okay okay okay... i gave into the hype, and boy am i glad i did.
This has been a cult product for many a beauty blogger, but i have a million and one foundations and didn't think i should buy another one until i got through the vast amount that i already have... That didn't last long.

L-R The Christmas Penguin, Dashing Santa, Hot Toddy Shower Gel, Snow Fairy Shower Gel, The Melting Snowman, Father Christmas bath bomb, Luxury Lush Pud, Christmas Eve

I don't know about you but im well and truly in the christmas spirit this year. Im trying to find an excuse to wear my christmas jumper but i have to keep telling myself that its just a little tiny bit too early (boo).
To make myself feel better and slowly get myself into feeling more christmassy without subjecting everyone else to it, i decided to take a little trip to lush and stock up on all of the christmas goodies they had in store.
This haul came from Lush Manchester and Lush Spa Liverpool both where absolutely incredible  with the service that i received.


Another fashion related post for you guys but this time instead of a wish list it is something that i have actually bought.
I love having a nosey at what other people have bought so with the colder months setting in here is a few bits and pieces that i have picked up for winter.

Autumn /winter is my favourite season.
I just absolutely love throwing as many layers on and being as snugly and warm as as I can be. 
I especially love that dark red, oxblood, burgandy colour in autumn. I love it on my lips, my nails and in my clothes. Tartan is another trend that comes back year after year that I just can't get enough of.

Tartan Mainly reminds me of my youth when I was going through my "goth" faze and everything I owned was either black, red, tartan and sometimes the odd baby pink.so for me tartan gives me that little grunge edge that I used to rock day in and day out and brings back loads of fabulous memories. 

I only picks up 4 items from new look, that created 3 outfits but I thought they where perfect to get my winter wardrobe started.
Such basic pieces that would help update last years offerings, that will go with most occasions.

I picked up 2 tunic dresses that I thought would go perfect with a pair of woolly tights, a snugly Coat and of course my tartan Scarf. I've just recently bought a pair of heeled boots too that would complete these outfits especially in the day. 



I love this. I can't wait for an evening of drinks with the girls, all cosy with a glass of wine, by a big fire in my local pub.
It would look great dressed up or down. A pair of heels or chunky heeled boots. 


My favourite piece :) .. It's everything I love .. Tartan, deep red and a dress again another perfect outfit for shopping, lunching or an evening date night with that special someone. Just some woolly tights, a pair of flats or bulky ankle boots and your good to go.


My third outfit (purchased separately) is this amazing deep red co ord. I mean who doesn't love a co ord ?


It has pockets and a lovely scallop  detailing around the legs on the shorts.
This fits really well and I got a size bigger as I wanted it to fit a little looser around my legs (shorts are slim fit) 
This is my date night outfit, next time I go out with George i will be certain to put this on, just a plain black Cami and some black heels I have, paired with a cute black clutch bag.I think this would be a restaurant appropriate outfit. 
I would again wear this for a meal with the girls, or even a night on the town. 


This was priced at £24.99 for the cropped blazer and £17.99 for the shorts 

How would you dress these outfits? Let me know in the comments below I'm always open for some advice.

If you liked this post please let me know and then I can do more of them :)

Thanks for reading 
I hope you enjoy autumn/winter as much as I do

What a tongue twister this blog title is.





I have been wanting to include some fitness posts into my blog for some time now.




I'm very up and down when it comes to working out, about a year ago I was working out 5 times a week, running 4 times a week and really following my slimming world diet.. Then I became full time in my job and I know its no excuse but I just sort of gave up. I found that I was "too busy" to eat healthily and exercise so I never :(
This has made me gain weight and also become unhappy.


I knew i had to change something and give my body some tlc.


I've now realised that I have no excuses and that I can fit working out in my everyday lifestyle.
Admittedly its not in a gym but that doesn't bother me at all. Home workouts are where im at right now and boy i am enjoying it.

Exercise makes me feel so good, i feel like instead of moaning about my body im doing something about it. I love to see my body change and tone, its a sense of achievement.

I love to run (again im not very good but i still love it) I enjoy how it makes me feel. Sometimes running is the only time i get to myself and its the only thing that clears my head. I always used to run with music, but now not so much. I LOVE running with people and this is something im getting more and more into.

Now the colder months are coming in, ive decided i need to purchase some warmer clothes to get me off on the right foot, and also that will last me right thought and maybe into next winter.

I live in Britain and i find that its always cold so spending a small fortune on products will be worth it if i think about the cost per wear ( right? right? tell me im right ? I am convincing myself that its okay to spend )

I love buying workout clothes especially Nike ones , they just fit so well, flatter my shape and always last for as long as I need them too.
Im always so comfortable and confident in every piece that I buy, and that just makes me workout even harder.

So while i save up here is a little workout wish list that I am saving for:






Nike Pink Water Bottle £10


Reflective Running Tights (amazing) £90


Training Kit £25


Dry Fit Tail Wind Running Gloves £17


Nike Air Zoom Structure 18 Running Shoe £100


Nike Pro Hyperwarm Aura Fitted Full length Legging £55


Vapor Reflective Running Jacket £120


elite lightweight no show running socks £10


Dry Fit Knit Infinity Cover up £65


Nike Sports Watch GPS £149


Studio Wrap (For yoga times) £130


Dry Fit Knit Half Zip £80


Pro Rival Sports Bra £40


Pro Hyperwarm Leggings


Okay I got a little carried away but for now this is what I want , I just know this would be a great investment


What do you want to buy for your workout ?


If you liked this post let me know in the comments and I can do another one soon :)

Hello my loves,

What a long title ay ?

Well I absolutely love a good face mask. I'm constantly on the lookout for new ones and anything that has the word "Detox", "oily" and "Clay"  will forever catch my eye.

I've bought a few face masks over the past few months and have been trying this one out for a little while.

Every blogger and there dog has this face mask and to me that was the proof in the pudding. I was sick of everyone raving on this product and I hadn't tried it, I knew I had to give in and buy this beauty.

My mum is a lover of anything from sanctuary spa and every Christmas and birthday my sister and I will treat her to a big box of goodies that she can divulge in.
Although she has been using this brand for years, it isn't  a brand that I have ever been interested in.. until I discovered the world of beauty blogging (about 3 years ago).
Now I am finally writing a blog of my own I knew I had to see what the hype was all about

I was interested but this is the first purchase that I have bought for myself from this range.


I bought this palette in a recent haul, I'm so glad I picked it up. It  has been my go to face palette everyday since I bought it. 
It goes well with every makeup look that i create and i use it both day and night 

It consists of a bronzer , a blush and a highlight. All of which are perfectly sized for what you use more of. So you get more bronzer than you would of the highlighter as it covers more of your face.The same goes for the blush it's smaller than the bronzer as you normally use less of it. 



It's just perfect that it's everything I need in one place and stops me overloading my makeup bag on the go with 3 products when I just need the one.






I'm usually really into a heavy contour but I've been loving this bronzer to just bronze up the face naturally. It's a medium satin finish.I have applied it on my temples , under my cheekbones and underneath my chin area to just define my face and give me a nice healthy glow that's not to in your face. 


The blush is just lovely, so creamy, so pigmented.Its a dusty rose colour with a hint of shimmer.
 A little really goes a long way with this product.
It just sits perfectly on the apples of my cheeks,Giving me a nice natural blush that really complements my skin tone. 

The highlight is just amazing. I sweep this over my cheekbones to well you guessed it... Highlight them. 
It really compliments the blush as its a soft pink champagne shimmer.
Again it's so creamy and pigmented . It gives me a glow from within without it being a glitter ball on my face.


Overall I'm really impressed with this and may have to purchase the other shades that it comes in. 
It lasts all day on my face too and at the moment my face is a combination of oily and dry and it doesn't cling to these areas, or come off with the oilyness in places.
I bought mine from the debenhams urban decay counter in Liverpool one but is available all over the Internet .
This retails at £22 but I've seen it on look fantastic for £17.

Have you guys tried any more from this range?
link me your reviews :)

WOW,

Thats all i can say about this product
Move over my trusty HD brows, you have now been replaced by this amazing brow powder

It is now my holy grail product and a product now loved by my nearest and dearest too after seeing my brows and also how much love i have given this product.




I had seen a few bbloggers on my twitter feed posting about this brand and product and i must say their brows looked amazing after using the product (Yes Sarah from and beauty or something, im talking about you)
I admit i was jealous and also getting rather bored of my brows, when i too got the chance to review this amazing brow powder i was jumping for joy.


Hey hey hey,

I know its been a while since my last post. Honestly my life has just been so busy. I haven't had a moment to think, let alone blog.

Less off that and let me introduce you to my newest member of the eyeshadow brush team.



Nanshy recently launched a set of 12 professional makeup brushes for the Face, Eyes and lips. It features very soft Vegan and Cruelty-Free synthetic bristles and for the first time the brushes come in two different coloured easy- to- hold handles.
Onyx black and pearlescent white.

I don't know about you but i am all about the nude lip right now, I'm completely embracing it and going for a heavier eye look.
Its so easy to wear and goes with most makeup looks and outfits. You don't have to put as much effort into a nude lip either if you don't want to, just a quick sweep of gloss or you can line your lips, pair it with a lipstick and add some shine with your favourite lip gloss.

The products i have been reaching for my favourite nude lip looks are :


Lipsticks
MAC frost lipstick -angel
MAC Glaze Lipstick - hue
Illamasqua glamore lipstick - rose pout
MAC Cremesheen lipstick - Creme Cup
Maybelline Coloursensational lipstick - 710 Sultry Sand
Maybelline Coloursensational lipstick -725 Tantalizing Taupe
Loreal Lextraordinaire Liquid Lipstick - 601 Nude Ballet (omg amazing, plus i heard it was Kim Kardashian's night time lip choice so i had to buy it)



Lip Liner
There has only been one choice for this category, i have absolutely been loving this, I'm really into the Kylie Jenner over drawn lip trend at the moment and this lip liner is giving me everything i need to recreate this look.

Rimmel London exaggerate lip liner - 018 addiction















Lip Gloss
Barry M lip gloss - No name but smells like toffee
Revlon Colour Burst - 042 Bellini
Tanya Burr Lip gloss - Champagne Toast



Whats your favourite nude lip product?

Any more that you would recommend i add to my collection?

Well hello there,

This is my first ever beauty haul on my blog, and i have been so excited spending my money and crossing items off my beauty wish list, which i had collaborated together thanks to you guys always recommending products that i just have to have.
I'm quite nosey and i love reading everyone else's beauty hauls so if your anything like me then please  keep reading.


Well hello there my lovely readers,

This is a very exciting post indeed for me , not only was i given the most amazing opportunity to review the magnitone lucid but I've also been given the opportunity to give one away for one of you lucky readers to win. So keep reading until the end to enter to this amazing giveaway.


If you follow me on twitter you will have seen me tweeting every night about how amazing my Magnitone lucid is, how much I've enjoyed using it and how fabulous my face is looking since using it.

Although i was sent this to review it hasn't made any impact on my thoughts of the product and I'm hoping the person to wins the giveaway will see exactly why I'm so obsessed with this product.



The Magnitone Lucid is a easy-to-use complexion-boosting tool that no beauty - conscious traveller should leave home with out. It promises softer, brighter, clearer skin in just 7 days where you can see the difference.

Ive been using this for 7 days now and my skin is a shadow of its former self, its more radiant , my skin has cleared up, its more plump, my pores have reduced , my blackheads have faded, my skin is so so so soft I'm forever stroking it. I'm kicking myself that i haven't tried this earlier.


In my box i received 
  • Magnitone Lucid 2 Mode Brush
  • Active Clean brush head with SprayGuard™ bristles
  • Magnetic clink travel charger (3-pin UK plug + 2-pin EU plug)
  • Instructions
  • 12 month warranty card
I however haven't been travelling this week, I've just been using this as part of my usual skincare routine, i take my makeup off with it and prep my skin for the day ahead.
I will be taking this on holiday with me when i go in august as it is just so handy, its quite small and light, it also comes with a detachable wireless travel charger, this is great because you only have to charge it once for 12 hours and the charge lasts for approx 2 weeks. .Its also water proof so great for in the shower, it also comes with an international charger so if it does run out i won't have to be searching high and low for a international plug (we all know we pack a lot of travel plugs but when we come to use them, can we find them? NO!) i can just plug it in. 
If your travelling this summer or in fact ever i would honestly recommend to take this with you and it will completely change the way you cleanse your skin forever



The colour i was sent was 'plush pink' which just is Alexandra Elizabeth all over. I'm a proper girly girl and love everything pink, it just makes it that more fun and luxurious when I'm cleansing. Not only does it come in pink but also 3 more colours to match your summer look, how cute right?
How perfect are the colours? So summery

The one thing i love about the Magnitone Lucid is that it works with my regular cleanser, for the morning i have been using the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish hot cloth cleanser and for the evening for a deeper clean I've been using Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser just to make sure all of my makeup is off.
It has 2 settings deep clean and sensitive which you can change at the click of a button. I'm quite lucky and don't have sensitive skin so I've been using deep clean since day one but it recommends to use the sensitive setting for the first 5 days and then go onto the deep clean.
It has a timer also which i love, i use it for 20 seconds on my forehead and down my nose, after this is pauses and i use 10 seconds on each cheek and then the last 20 seconds over my chin area. It buffed away any dry patches that i have and really deep cleanses into my pores. Also with active electromagnetic technology It has 10,000 pulsed oscillations per minute to really give an effective clean and exfoliation.




After i have used this i have noticed that all of my skincare just absorbers amazingly into my skin and my makeup just looks flawless and it creates an amazing base.
Ive been able to have no makeup days which is usually a no no for me, my confidence has just gone through the roof.


The first time i used it i went down stairs and my family all said "wow" i told them to feel it and they where totally taken aback with how amazing my skin felt, a few days later in work one of the girls said i looked more youthful and more radiant and asked what i had been using, once i told her what it was she went online straight away to order herself one.
I also asked my boyfriend to try it too sharing is caring  right? , he loved it, he was abit sceptical at first but once he had used it he was pretty impressed.

This is a great product and has completely changed the way that i now cleanse my face, I'm so glad i was given the opportunity, I've wanted to try a cleansing face brush for a long while but didn't know if it would break me out and they are pretty expensive, the great thing about this is that its only £69.99  (Currently on offer for £49.99 absolute bargain from look fantastic) and I'm now contemplating buying the Magnitone Pulsar for an all over body experience.


Now you have your chance to win one of these amazing brushes. Just enter with  rafflecopter below:

Okay im going to say it, i think this might be my most favourite primer.

I know this is a dupe for Benefit Porefessional, but i didn't really like it, couldn't understand the hype and didn't think it made any difference to my pores.

With this only being £12.50 and after reading reviews of other bloggers who didn't like porefessional but bought this and loved it, i was intrigued and in my basket it went. I find that every time i go to boots i end up buying everything else except the product i went in for  :( but this time it was a good thing.





I am also completely converted to this primer, as i have oily skin i need all the help i can get to keep my makeup to stay put, and don't even go there with my pores, but this primer just makes my makeup look flawless, it stays put all day and my pores have sort of completely vanished.
The difference it makes to my skin and makeup application 

After my skincare routine i put this all over my face, you only need a little and your face is covered.Its a soft velvety feel which is luxurious. plus it is also completely colourless which is always a bonus



If your wanting to try benefit professional i would give this a go first as its only £12.50 

You can buy this from Boots or From boots online

Hi, I’m Catherine from Counter Pretty. Alexandra was lovely enough to let me do a guest post which is going to be a bit of a rant I’m afraid! But it’s something that we both agree on and I hope and think most of you agree with it as well!







I have been looking for something that will help with the scars left over from spots, and one of my lovely followers on twitter recommended that I try this.

I picked this up a few months back to see if it really could brighten up my skin and remove the hyper pigmentation that old spots have left behind.


Over night serum with 4% glycolic acid. A highly effective overnight serum with powerful glycolic acid to improve skin texture and smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

PoreAway visibility reduces the appearance of pores for a more refined and even looking complexion.
4% glycolic acid smoothes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
PoreAway minimises the appearance of enlarged pores.
Aloe Vera soothes and calms


Well hello there,

You may or may not know but i do love a good old bath, nothing can bit a bit of Tub time.I love them way more than showers and every once in a while i like to have a pamper evening, one of my main steps is to tie up my hair and have a nice relaxing hot bubble bath. It just de-stresses me and I can sit there quite the thing for a good 30 minutes just floating away taking in all of the smells around me and letting my mind just be free.

Hello my beautiful readers.

As you may or may not know , I am currently addicted to all things Garnier at the moment.
Everything I have tried has been amazing and im really really loving their products, Especially their body products.

Ive seen these skin perfecting oils doing their rounds on everyones blogs and I've been dying to try them for quite a while now.

I wouldn't say I suffer with cellulite but i do defiantly have some over my body,  it doesn't bother me too much but when i seen this oil i thought i would give it ago, especially with my holiday looming in august i want to get my body beach ready.

Hello again,

This is a new type of post for my blog, its my first haul post, usually I post reviews, but i thought i would post this so that if anybody else is still late on the bandwagon like me and don't know if they want to try the Revlon Colour Burst Balms they can see what ones I've bought and see the swatches and then have a little look for themselves. Lets me honest there is quite a few cheaper dupes of these already in the drugstore for as little as £1, you have to think to your self is it worth paying the £7.99.

Hellloooo

I know its been ages since I last blogged, I completely lost my blogging motivation and couldn't think of anything to write about.
Not being able to motivate myself to blog really frustrated me as its something that I love to do, even if I'm not the most amazing at spelling and can make grammatical mistakes. I love just sitting at my laptop writing away about the thing i love most BEAUTY...So sorry for being super distant recently and for still staying subscribed even though i have been off the radar. 

Anyway less about me and more onto the products that I'm going to review.
Whilst I was lacking in blogging motivation my skin certainly hasn't been missing out.
I was sent this skincare kit to review from Ark Skincare* a few months back and at the end of April, right after my previous blog post i finally had the time to review these products for a good few weeks. This was a blessing, as being a beauty blogger i love to swap and change my skincare about to find what i do and don't like and as you seen from my previous post its something that I'm currently getting into more and more. With this being said all this swapping and changing isn't doing my skin any good.
I have ended up with a very sore spotty chin and dry patches, so i decided enough is enough and tried these products without incorporating any other products into my regime.



Hello my fabulous readers,

I'm not a body moisturiser person, I hate how it sits on the skin and I'm always greasy for hours, plus I can never be bothered applying it either before bed or in the morning so it is sadly a step I miss out in my skincare regime.i only full body moisturise every now and then, and sort of you it as a pamper night treat 

When I seen this in my local boots I thought ile give it ago and add it to my mass amounts of soap and glory body creams and see if it sits well with me.






Hello again my beautiful readers,
You may or may not know that i am at the beginners stage of being obsessed with skincare, its something i know little about and is something I'm experimenting with.


Hello my beautiful readers,

I was sent this by Sheer Cover to review, i had to wear these products for 7 days straight and see if i could be converted to wearing mineral makeup.
i couldn't use any other products to create my look, other than products I wasn't sent such as eyebrow power and eye shadows, so this was super exciting.

I was so excited by this challenge as I have quite oily skin so i thought mineral makeup would let my skin breath and help my spots out a little.

Here's what I received in my kit -

I received Perfect shade mineral foundation, Conceal and brighten trio, sun-kissed bronzing minerals, lengthening mascara and lash extending fibres.and as a bonus i received sheer cover studio makeup brushes
Hey guys



Now that is a long title.
Ever since I tried the glam glow facemask  my facemask obsession had grown.

We all know I suffer with breakouts and this week it's at it's peak.
My chin is over loaded with painful spots that not even my boi-ing concealer will cover :(.
So I decided I needed to invest in some new skincare products because quite clearly my current skincare isn't working, and effaclar duo just seems to burn my spots and create new infected looking ones instead of helping my skin. If you want a full review just comment below :)



I've seen a few bloggers talk about the Una Brennan range and wanted to really try it out myself.
I've heard the range has skincare that could help with my spotty skin.

I seen this on the shelf at my local boots and read the back of the product.
"Clear your skin of dirt, excessive oils and toxins which lead to breakouts with this pore purifying clay mask. it contains salicylic acid, proven to help unclog congested skin and oil- absorbing Dead Sea mud rich in magnesium, calcium,potassium and iron for the perfect facial detox at home.
Avocado oil rich in vitamins A, D and E with acacia honey futher help skin rebalance itself to reveal a clearer , refreshed looking complexion.

After reading that , I was sure this was the product to banish my spots and give me that in house spa and pamper night all Sundays are made of.

I cleansed my skin and placed this all over my face and neck. 

I love the smell of this, the bottle says leave on for 5 mins but I kept it on for 20mins as I found the smell luxurious and I was waiting for the mask to completly dry which it doesn't in the 5 minute time scale they say.
It reminds me of going for a full body massage, it's that smell that they have in the massage room. 

I love how this feels on then skin.its a really nice tingly sensation which indicates to me that it's working well an doing it's job on my skin.

So I sat and soaked in the bath with this on my face and after 20 mins I rinced my face clean and then patted it dry.

My skin felt super soft and felt thoroughly cleansed.
Already my aching chin felt a lot less swollen and the spots on my jawline had dramatically reduced in size.
It doesn't feel drying on the skin at all but the skin does feel pert and more together again especially after a long working week.

I felt slightly detoxed if that makes any sence. 

I would defiantly recommend this product especially if your looking for a good mask but don't want to spend a fortune.

This mask I bought from boots and cost me £5.99 (currently on offer usually £8.99) 
I would pick it up on your next boots trip and see for yourself.
So inexpensive yet so impressive 

What do you think? 
Any skin clearing masks you would reccomend?

Hello again dolls,

This post has really excited me, for the only reason that i absolutely love this product.

I don't think this post can do it any justice and i would say to go to your local mac counter and swatch this baby.




Hello lovlies,

Everyone knows just how much i love MACs Rebel lipstick , so when i seen that they had a matching lip glass i knew i had to pick it up.

I know its spring and dark lip colours are not as favoured anymore, but for a night out and date night with my other half, this really is my go to lip colour.



Hello Dolls,

I was kindly sent this by Zoe from Face Value Beauty Blog to sample.

She had received the full collection of colours and offered to send me one to sample for myself, as a side note Zoe never charged me for this product, she sent me it out the goodness of her heart and made no money whatsoever by sending this product to me.
Isn't it lovely when bloggers are friendly to each other :)

I have always used the Burt's Bees lip balms as they just sort out any dry lips that I may have so i was super excited when she asked me if I would like one sending out.


Anyway, the colour that Zoe had sent me was summer twilight which is a plumy red colour with flecks of gold Shimmer in it..





I absolutely adore this colour, its defiantly very me !!

I love the packaging with its honeycomb detailing on the lid and the fact that this product is 100% natural is always a win.
Its a very sheer lip gloss so it would look fabulous both on its own and also over another lip colour to give it some shine.
It smells like MAC lipstick and is very nourishing to the lips.

For a lip gloss i would say the longevity of the product is quite good.

It hasn't launched yet but when it does it will retail for about £8.99

I am defiantly going to purchase a few more shades when they are released, I love a lip gloss especially one that has many good ingredients like Burt's Bees.

Thanks again Zoe for sending me this product and I'm looking forward to reading your review of the colours you received.

You can follow Zoe on twitter too she can be found here and make sure you check out her blog too

Well hello again lovelies,
Ive just tried the Glam Glow super Mud Clearing Treatment and I just knew I had to share my findings with you.

I received this sample from an event I have just been to and couldn't wait to try it. Glam Glow is something that I've been dying to try ever since Fleur De Force  mentioned it in quite a few of her videos.

If you don't know what Glam Glow is then here is what the glam glow website says:
Hello beauties,

I recently picked up this MAC paint pot in the colour Bare Study along side another one which I will feature soon, and I'm in love





I had never tried a paint pot before nor a cream eyeshadow but I'm a total convert.
Mac has yet again won my heart.
I love how it applies to the lid and under the eyebrow bone for a beautiful highlight. As you can see it's a goldy champagney colour that is just perfect for highlight.
I love how pigmented it is and also how long it stays on for. Litterally all night and doesn't budge. 

I can see myself getting pretty obsessed with these.

£15 from the MAC website

Have you tried a mac paintpot before?
What's your favourite colour?
What would you recommend me to buy for my next purchase :) 


Thanks for reading

Hello beauties,

Have you been reading my bargain beauty week posts this week? what do you think?

So if you have read yesterdays post, you will have seen that I done a mini primark beauty haul, and among that haul was a lipstick, and here it is.

My primark only had the one colour otherwise i would have bought more.
I love this product, I'm a real girly girl and anything pink excited me, especially when its pink glitter.
