I'm actually quite excited about Christmas...despite my last post...!
I've pretty much told anyone that has asked 'I want make up for Christmas...’YAY we'll see who'll come up with the goods ;) haha
Don't get me wrong...I know it’s better to give than receive...ahem
I think I've pretty much got the bulk of my shopping out of the way now too.
I'm generally just a lot happier now...
We had quite a few assignments due in at college that are now over so I feel better!
I'm doing a Performing Arts course...in case anyone is interested. We have are Shakespeare performances next week so once that’s over I can finally start to relax.

So yeah...I haven’t been doing a lot of shopping for myself recently...but then I never tend to document my ‘hauls’ anyway! I’m not sure why that is...?
I’ll do a ‘haul’ blog at Christmas I think...!
I don’t like the word ‘haul’...

I’ve been thinking about getting my hair cut recently too...I’ve got no Idea what to do with it though...I think I’ll wait until I’ve lost more weight...
Anyway
Tangent


Well.
GOODBYE FELLOWS

I'm slowly turning into a scrooge! I used to love Christmas...but it just seems to be getting more stressful every year. People wanting random presents...that are impossible to find! So...today I was walking around for about 4 hours looking for things to buy people for Christmas...I came away with one present. I’ve actually managed to buy quite a lot of presents online this evening...but knowing our postal service... they won’t arrive in time for the festivities GREAT

I know this has nothing to do with make up...I fancied a rant.

Im sorry this blog is rubbish.

just thought i'd jump on it and attempt to make my own lipgloss.
admitedly its not the first time i've tried this...but its the first time ive actually like the result!

Products used:
MAC pigment - melon
nivea caregloss
Urban Decay lube in a tube - NYC



here are some pictures of the results!





so if you have any of these products knocking around i really reconmend doing this its a really nice lipgloss!

err just a general update really...i just signed in on twitter after not going on for about 6months...i had to reset my password because i'd forgotten it! ha oops

BYEX

so I recently purchased the remington shine therapy straightner...
amazon.co.uk for £34.99!!! cheeeaap!

and just thought i'd do a little before and after! :)

BEFORE






and AFTER











I love it. I will give a full review on this straightner after i've given it a bit of a road test for a week or so :))

x

just a few pictures of the look i mentioned a blog ago!
:)

hello, its been a while, but in all honesty i just dont know what to write about. im not sure exactly what people want to read... :) if anyone has anything/suggestions they want me to talk etc about please comment!


so I got payed recently, but i just couldn't find it in me to have my usualy splurge on make up like i usually come pay day. im not sure why, i love make up and its a big passion of mine but just recently i ust haven't really been spending alot of money on it, or i got to make a purchase and at the last minute change my mind. maybe its my subconscious telling me to save my money and buy my family and friends decent present this year for christmas! hmm

look of the week. i cant get a picture on here right now but ill post it in another blog. the look consists of a few urban decay shadows (roach and scandal) and mac's beauty marked.
I apply roach all over the lid and in the crease and blend it out. the i apply scandal(usually with my finger) just to the middle of the lid and blend it into the roach. on the outer corners and outer crease i apply beauty marked(mac) and guess what...blend! the just a thin line of liquid liner to to outer lash line and mascara. you can bring some of th beauty marked down into you lower lash line/waterline too but sometimes i just leave that
it creates and really nice plumy smokey look, and is relativly easy to do! i know it would be alot easier if you could see it! but ill try and get a few decent pictures u
up soon!

also something else while im here...i have a really bad habbit of biting my nails, its something i've done practically all my life, and its something i've wanted to stop doing practically all my life too! hahaha anyway back to the point. ive come to the point now where im jsut sick of looking down and seeing really short stumpy nails. I see all this nail varnish in stunning colours but have to nails to wear it on so im going to try and stop biting my nails for one last time! Im using sally hansen nailgrowth miracle to try and stimulate the growth a bit... and its working ok so far. its only been a few days, and i can go about a week, and the just bite them all off again. so if anyone has and good tips on how to stop me biting my nails i would be very grateful! ill keep you posted on any progress i make... :S


anyway ... what an essay!

thanks for reading!

I finally got my cherry culture! it took about three weeks. heres what I got!

(this isnt very interesting)

so today I thought I would talk to you about my skin care. its nothing flash, but so far these are the only products that actualy work for me.
I use the Neutrogena Visibly Clear range and i buy it from superdrug, each item costs around 4-5 pounds.
anyway
I have tried quite a few brands from simple to clean and clear things like that, infact pretty much anything you can find in boots. My skin has never been particularly bad in terms of acne or anything, but i do have combination skin so finding somehting that would help all areas of my face has been difficult. anything with oil in just makes my skin break out and annoyingly anything without oil in drys out my skin! so anyway, i decided to give this range ago, it was on offer in superdrug and i was out of my other stuff so i bought some! two months down the line and im loving it. my skin is much clearer and smoother. i use the 2in1 mask, oil free make up remover, triple action lotion and the oil free moisturiser. and im so far very impressed! the products dont cost very much and they are often on offer (2 for £5 in superdrug) and they actually work! they have a really nice smell to them too!
I would reconmend this range to anyone with combination skin and is prone to break outs. :)

hello.
I have tried so many mascaras, that i kind of came to expect every new one i tried to be right for me, it seemed that everyone i tried had something 'wrong' with it. i think i've only ever had two that i would actually buy again. the first one would be loreal telescopic. i loved this mascara. it seperated my lashes, made them longer and gave just the right amount of fullness. i thought that i had found my perfect mascara. untill i bought estee lauders more than mascara. its amazing. it was like the telescopic only about ten times better. it doesnt dry out your lashes or make them really stiff, like i found with so many other mascaras and i dont think you could ever apply too much, it just doesnt clump!

I have tried to make this blog on a few occasions now I don’t know what it is but every time I try something has gone wrong!

Anyway, I’ve basically been trying to write a review on the Urban Decay book of shadows...all I can really say is that it is fabulous and I love it! I implore everybody to get your hands on one. They retail for £25, I got mine from boots but you can get them from other places I’m sure. Now, I was a bit reluctant to part with that amount of money at first, I’m only a student who works at a co-op my budget is hardly massive, however, I saw it and knew that I had to have it. Not only because of the alluring packaging but because it’s the palette that offers the most colours of any of the UD palettes. And when you can spend the same amount on a palette with half the amount of shadows I thought why not!

The quality of the shadow is consistent, they all blend beautifully, and the pigmentation is great. There really is nothing to complain about in my opinion!

this is a review for the collection 2000 dazzle me! collection. I currently have 8 of them! ^ as you can see!
admitedly I was a little sceptical, I hadnt tried any of their products before so didnt really know what to expect, in terms of quality and pigmentation etc. but being the little spendthrift I am I went ahead and added them to my basket!
I first purchased Enchanted (shimmery brown) and Sugar Plum (soft pink with gold reflects)
pleasently supprised by the pigmentation and blendability (is that even a word? haha) i went ahead and bought some more! and...over time...some more! lol
so basically this is where we are today! a small collection of some really nice loose pigments! they come in a good range of colours! and for£2.99 the quality is very good!
they are very soft and blend well. the only problem i have really encountered is the amout of fall out! this is probably more to do with how i apply them then the actual product though! ha
here are a few more pictures!

well, hello!
this is going to be a blog about MAKE-UP!
