Saturday Summary

I've never done one of these summary posts before, but I was drawing a blank over what to blog about today, so I decided to do a quick one for you guys :)Photograph by Hugo BurnandThe photo above pretty much sums up what the majority of this past week has been all about. On one hand, I am very glad that the Royal Wedding has happened, as I was started to get tired of the media hype and all the press releases for some of the most ridiculous wedding-related...

**CLOSED** A Right Royal Giveaway (minus the Royal)

Hey guys,You might remember that following from my Ji ji Kiki Giveaway, to celebrate my blog's first birthday, I promised you another one! Well, things didn't quite go to plan.Basically, the box of products arrived on the Friday that I went to see Sucker Punch, at the Cinema. So, inevitably I missed it, and I kept forgetting to arrange for it to be redelivered. By this point, my Blog Birthday had arrived, and I still didn't have these products (slight...

I don't want big boobs!!

You might remember, earlier this month, in my April Hottie and the Nottie feature, I had a good old moan about the fact that I have problems fitting into larger sized clothes, because my boobs just aren't big enough to fill them out.So, imagine my interest, when this leaflet drops out of a well-known beauty magazine (sorry for the bad quality, the lighting was absolutely terrible!)Photo of Leaflet taken by MeNoting that I have never heard of Pepperberry,...

Your Mission...should you choose to accept it!

As the title suggests, I am on a mission and I need you guys to help me (pretty please). But, I guess I should tell you the story first :PSo, Saturday lunch time, I'm happily watching Spirited Away, on the telly, tum te tum, tum, tum, with the boyfriend (I love Spirited Away by the way. If you haven't seen it, you really have to!), when all of a sudden the power goes off. Telly, PC, boiler, lighting, EVERYTHING. And to make matters worse, ten minutes...

Clinique Even Better Make Up SPF15

A couple of months ago, I received a free sample of Clinique's Even Better Make up SPF15, in an issue of Psychologies Magazine. I've had sachets of this stuff before, but from past experience they never seem to be the right shade for my skin, so I typically don't bother. However, during a tidy-up this afternoon, I came across the sachet and since it was a "neutral" shade, I decided to give it a try to see what it was like.Image from GoogleClinique...

Eyebrows, Eyebrows, Wherefore Art Thou Eyebrows

I hit puberty relatively young, when I was about ten or eleven. Of all my friends, I was only the second to get my period. That I could handle. The growing of boobs and having to wear a bra, wasn't so much fun, but shaving was something that I was a late bloomer doing.When I was about twelve/thirteen, I'd asked my mum if I could have a razor, to which she responded, something along the lines of:"What do you need a razor for? You don't have anything...

The Freebie Conundrum

A topic that seems to rear it's ugly head, every so often, especially amongst the broad elite of beauty bloggers, is that of Freebies.A few months ago, a young woman decided to take it upon herself to attack Urban Decay, on their Facebook page. Urban Decay had asked who people thought were the best UK-based beauty bloggers, which drew in the usual Lauren Luke and Oxford Jasmine replies.This young woman's argument was basically that Urban Decay was...

Urban Decay Super-Sexy Rollergirl Palette

I really hate promoting products straight from a press release, but this one, I just felt that I had to. Recently, I've been in two minds about Urban Decays newest products, for example, I seem to be the only person alive, that didn't think much of the Naked Palette, but then again, that was more to do with browns making me look like I have black eyes, and the fact that I'm not really a fan of neutral colours. But, anyway, when I received the email...

Rimmel Glam'Eyes Liquid Eyeliner

I have been meaning to review this eyeliner for absolutely ages, and after my ELF Cream Eyeliner review, over the weekend, I though that today would be a good day to get this review done.Rimmel Eyeliner and Me: Until I discovered the wonders of Urban Decay, I used to swear by Rimmel's pencil eyeliners, and they were the only brand that I would wear.Therefore, it might actually surprise you, to know that I've never actually tried a Rimmel Liquid eyeliner....

Glasses: Express Yourself with Optical Express and Vue Cinemas

I first started glasses when I was thirteen. They were these huge purple things, that I am very glad that I don't have any photographic evidence of. At the time, I only wore them at School, to read the blackboard, but as time has gone by, I've had to wear them all the time, and I've grown to really love wearing them. Throughout my life, I've been told not to wear them, because I look "silly" and it's been suggested that I wear contact lenses. So,...

Guest Blog: Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor

A couple of months ago, I asked the boyfriend if he wanted to review the new Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor for my blog, which he kindly agreed to do (perhaps due to the fact that I was also offering to buy it for him. I think that he thought this to be a very fair compromise). Two months, and plenty of use later, here is that review for your viewing pleasure:I decided to buy the ProGlide razor after seeing the advertisement, which is unlike me as...

ELF Cream Eyeliner

I realised the other day, that I haven't done a product review in absolutely ages, which I shall dutifully slap myself on the wrist for, because my list of products waiting to be reviewed is probably a lot longer than the list I have in my side bar, which I should probably update at some point!But, anyway, I bought the ELF Cream Eyeliner back in February, and here it is:Why I bought this product: After lip balm, eyeliner is my number two favourite...

Breaking Down the Barriers of Salons

Hi guys,Just a really quick and snappy blog today.I treated my mum to her first manicure today, as a surprise Mothers Day present, and she absolutely loved it, which I'm really chuffed about, because I was really worried that she wouldn't like it, but yay! I think I enjoyed the experience more than she did. As you know, I don't have very long nails, so I've never really seen the point in having my nails done, but it was interesting to see how it's...
