Hello and welcome back,

Some of you may or may not known that a couple of weeks ago i started the slimfast challenge. Since then ive been tweeting like crazy (If you don't follow me on twitter i can be found here ) I also done a blog post on my initial thoughts and why i was doing it.

So the challenge was 2 weeks of following their simple 3-2-1 diet plan. 3 Snacks , 2 Shakes and 1 600 kcal meal

Hey guys,

So I just had to update you on the event that i went to today. Yet again MAC have brought out another new line that is just amazing.

Its very much based on 60's glam and that extravagant eyeliner. It has a very pastel look, which I just adore.

Last week i went in and picked up a few pieces from the line because I love anything pastel and it just all looked so pretty.

I received an email from a lovely lady from the Beauty Bazaar in Liverpool asking me if I would like to come down and attend the event.

This included a explore of the new MAC is beauty line, a makeover and a manicure. All while i sipped some cocktails and ate some cute little cakes.

The first floor of Beauty Bazaar had been transformed into the ultimate MAC salon experience. Complete with hair demos and nail artists.

The décor was to die for, all pink everything with a whole load of big hair and rollers (Totally into both of these)

I learnt so much about not just the line but also many other Mac Products. It really gave me a chance to ask all the questions I had about products but also to try them out and see how i liked them.

Emma, the lady who had invited me told me that i would be in good hands and she wasn't wrong, i was first introduced to the miracle makeup artist Jemma who works in Liverpool's Beauty Bazaar MAC Counter, who then escorted me to the first floor and sat me down in this amazing chair... May i add that i NEED this chair in my life.. How cute is it please?

All ready to sit back and immerse myself in the world of MAC is beauty

How cute is my little cakes?

Jenna then sat me down and went though what sort of look i would like to try, she gave me a introduction to the MAC is beauty line and then proceeded to get to work on my face.

Can i just say she has such good makeup artistry skills and completely transformed my face. She knows everything about MAC and also about application too. I learnt a lot an its also made me really excited to experiment more with my makeup that i wear now.

If your ever in Liverpool defiantly pop into Beauty Bazaar and check out all the counters its a Beauty Bloggers heaven

I love the little fizzy drink cans are used for rollers in her hair.. very Gaga

I honestly felt like a star getting my nails and makeup done, it was nice to get them done for once because i always do my own, they have a little tabloid that was made for the line and its quite funny so if your near a MAC store then pop in and pick one up.

This was the finished look..

Products used :

Prolongwear Waterproof foundation in NW20

Studio Finish concealer in NW20

Mineralize Skinfinish in Medium Dark

Alpha Girl blush

Global glow M.S.F

Delineated/ Spiked brow pencil (Amazing)

On the eyelid she used Ivy Fluidline and undercurrant

Lay in law paint pot / Unitempted on the crease

Smoulder Khol Pencil and Pearlglide pencil on my waterline

Lashes she first prepped them with Prep and Prime lash and then Haute and Naughty Too Black mascara

I absolutely love this look, its really out of my comfort zone especially as im usually such a Matte skin and neutral eye type of gal.

The green really makes my eye colour pop.

Jennas eyeliner application is on FLEEK, she just blended away telling me step by step of the products she was using and why she was using them. She showed me each brush that she was using and at the end asked me if i had any questions, but throughout the makeover i was picking her brain over applications and shades, i also got her to show me how to contour because i wanted to scrub up on my technique and she did :).. All in all i was in Jennas Capable hands for about 1hr and a half which was just brilliant.

How perfect is the colour Frencb Chipped for summer?

Thanks very much for reading, and this event is on until sunday the 14th June so head on down and book your appointment.

So Urban Decay are bringing out another eyeshadow palette for their Naked line.

As soon as I seen this press release I got somewhat excited. I have all the Naked Palettes and use them all just as much as each other, I am a sucker for a neautral shadow.

I'm also a huge fan of the smokey eye, day and night ....

Let me introduce you to the Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette.

Now I probably don't need another neutral palette but I defiantly will be purchasing when it launches here in the UK.

I think it has really dark grunge types of shades and I know you could go from day to night with this palette.

what's your thoughts?

Will you be buying it?

Thanks for reading

Well hello lovelies,

Bit of a different post today but something I am extremely excited about..

When slim fast tweeted about the opportunity for bloggers to join the challenge I had to sign up,
Im in a constant struggle with my weight, My weight has really been getting me down for quite a while now, I lost 4 stone and was so happy.. I thought that because I was at my lowest weight and felt so happy I could let my old eating habits creep back in which has resulted in me gaining 3 1/2 stone of the 4 that I lost. This really gets to me and makes me so sad, Its one of those where no matter what you wear you feel disgusting in it. I started back on a healthy eating plan about a month ago and have lost 7lbs up to now but the clothes still have abit of a tight waistband.

I have a holiday booked for July with my other half and a whole load of friends and family (55 to be exact) Every year we book it and every year I promise to be a size 12 or at my goal weight of 9stone (totally unrealistic) Every year I pull out last years clothes and realise that none of them fit and have to go and buy a whole new summer wardrobe.
It seriously has to stop. So yeah... I signed up in hope that it will give me the kick start and weight loss that I want. I think once I see that I can do it then even after the 2 week challenge I wont give up.
The plan seems really easy to follow and requires hardly any effort from myself just a little old bit of willpower (Which ive seriously got right now)

Today I received a HUGE Parcel from Slimfast full of goodies for a challenge that they have set up. Its a two week challenge where you follow a really simple 3-2-1 plan. So that's 3 100 kcal Snacks, 2 meal replacement shakes and 1 meal that's of 600 Kcals (800 for men).
Slim fast have sent me everything that I could ever want to kick start this weight loss plan. I came home to a package with a tub of powder to add with milk for a delicious shake, a few on the go shakes, quite a lot of meal replacement bars which I think will be handy for in the morning when im dashing out the door for work or on the go, and a whole load of their own savoury and sweet 100kcal snacks.

Some of the flavours I received in the shakes that im quite excited to try are:
Mocha
Summer Strawberry
Bannana
Chocolate

The meal replacement bars sound delicious too with the choice of Summer Berry, Chocolate Crunch and Chocolate Peanut. Like i said before these may be so handy for my breakfast and lunch, plus they are handy for in your bag too if you are out and about and you don't want to pull out a bottle of slim fast shake from your bag, you can be discrete about your weight loss too :)

So as well as having two meal replacements a day you can also have 3 100kcal snacks as I said before, they have sent me a selection of chocolate bars that sound so yummy.. Chocolate delight, Chocolate nutty nougat to name a few or you could pick from a load of savoury options such as Cheddar Flavour bites, BBQ flavour tortillas and sour cream and chives pretzels.
Im thinking of having my 600kcal meal for my tea, and if you sign up on the website there is a whole load of delicious recipes

I think im going to be using these snacks mid morning or as a sort of after tea desert
Im sitting here at the moment so excited to start . (A Thursday , oooooh im breaking all the diet rules here hahah). I cant wait to see the results and i will be updating you guys at the end with my results and let you know how all the bars, shakes and snacks tasted, then if your like me stuck in a rut or for whatever reason want to loose weight then you can see my results and go out and get your own products and do the plan too. I wonder how hungry im going to be and if i will be temped to eat more but im going to stop myself from doing that and see the plan out fully and properly.

If you want to follow my Slim Fast Challenge journey then you can follow me on Twitter and Instagram , and if you want to see how others are getting on then just follow the hashtag #SlimFastChallenge Ive loved checking everyones posts and seeing a little community come together.

Right Im off and hopefully on my next slim fast challenge update you will see a little less of me ;) (Get it )

Thanks for reading .. Wish me good luck

Welcome back babes,

Summer is fast approaching , the weather is warming up and its time to get them legs out and keep them out of the hibernation we had them in over the winter months. I'm lucky enough to be this year going away on holiday for 2 weeks in the summer, so part of my summer holiday prep is a regular exfoliation and moisturise.

Even when im not going away I try my hardest to exfoliate once a week as im addicted to false tanning, and as any good fake tanner knows... Exfoliation is key.

Exfolation is one of those things that I find quite boring but I know my body loves me for it..
So when Jealous Body Scrub got in contact with me to review their coffee scrub. I leaped at the chance.Ive been dying to try a coffee scrub for some time. Not only does it benefit your body but its also quite good fun and a must for any coffee fanatic.

Hello My lovelies,

I've recently made a little bit of a splurge on some skincare items that I've been eyeing up for some time.

One of the items is this beautiful cleansing balm from elemis. I've never once tried anything from elemis and couldn't wait to give this a try.

I've only had this in my stash for nearly a week and I knew after the first use I had to update you guys on just how amazing it is.

So you could really class this post as a first impressions but I just had to get my laptop out and give you guys the lowdown.

Hello my lovelies,

This week where I live (Liverpool) the sun has been shining, the weather is warmer and with that brings a change, not only to skincare, clothing and makeup but also to my nails.

Its time to take off the oxblood, dark nail varnishes I've been obsessing over and change for a much more brighter colour palette and really introduce spring into my life.

Here are my top 5 spring nail colour picks..

Plus all of these nail colours are from the drugstore and 4 of them are less than £4.
