Blistex Lemonade Blast: Heaven on Earth!!

Did you know that I am a little bit obsessed with lipbalms? You didn't well...shame on you! Ha, but seriously, I've been swearing by the Summer Fruits Eos Sphere Lip Balm for a few months now, and I absolutely love smelling it, using it and just plain looking at the packing. It smells and tastes divine, and is so adorable. I could rave about this product for a life time, but I've actually already done that, so I won't bore you for a second time ;)Well,...

Sunday Summary 28.08.2011

What I've Been Doing this WeekFinally getting my eyes tested. That was long overdueHelping to sort out my Aunt's houseRecovering from being ill - I hate being ill!Reading... Hunger by Michael Grant. Second of the "Gone" Series. It's taken me a fair while to read the second book in Michael Grant's Gone series, and whilst I did enjoy it, it wasn't quite as good as the first one. I think that the last quarter of the book just really seemed to drag,...

My New Glasses

I just wanted to do a very quick post to share with you my new glasses, which I don't actually have yet, but I'm weirdly excited about it.So, this is what they look like eeeeiiiiii Boots: Emma I think I'm most excited about my new sunglasses, purely because I've never had prescription sunglasses before, so it is going to be amazing to actually be able to see when the sun comes out :D Boots: Tuscany The sunglasses aren't really anything exciting,...

Dictionary: Acetone

Holy Cracker Jacks, I just realised that I haven't done a Dictionary post in just over a year (the last one is dated 23rd August 2010). Considering that when I initially started writing my blog, I was trying to unravel a lot of the jargon that surrounds the beauty industry, it's quite shameful that it's taken me so long to add to it, but without further ado, here is another entry, and I promise to try and add more when I find them :)For as long as...

The Queen of Quirky Hearts Nail Update

On Sunday I did a simple NOTD using some 17 Heart-Shaped Nail Stickers, that I'd been keen to try out, and I was really happy to see that a lot of you guys seemed to like them too. So, I decided to do a little bit of an update, which might sound weird, but you'll understand why in a second.I did my nails last Saturday, and blogged about them on the Sunday. On the Monday, I went home and after catching a bus, going to my boyfriends flat and walking...

NOTD: The Queen of Quirky Hearts

You might be able to guess this, but I'm not a particularly girly type of girl, so when I received some 17 Nail Art Stickers, as part of a recent Giveaway prize, I was keen not to use them with a pink polish. Not that I don't like pink polish, because despite not being very girly, I do still wear pink sometimes.Being terrible at general nail art, I've been keen to try simple alternatives, and as regular readers will know I have so far tried Konad...

Bag a Bargain

I love a good bargain me, and I can regularly be found scrounging around in the local charity shops, or even the not-so-local charity shops.Of course a lot of the stuff that you find is complete and utter tat that you can't imagine anyone would pay a single penny for, but in between all the Jeffrey Archer books, the creepy looking teddy bears and cosmetics that are probably circa the 1950s (seriously, I once found a product in a charity shop, by...

Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder

For a long time now, I've marvelled over other girls blogs who do Face of the Days (FOTD) or "looks" and watched with envy as they create these amazing looks, blending colours and just looking absolutely fabulous! Since I started blogging, almost a year and a half ago, I've done a lot of experimenting with eye make ups, and I've improved a great deal since those early days. But, one thing that I really regret not doing?Logging those experiments and...

Some Things are Not Meant to Be Used...

Disclaimer: This is NOT real!!! You remember when you were twelve years old, and you were finally allowed to go into town by yourself, without parental supervision? Well, I say "by yourself", but what I really mean is "with your friends". And your mum let you have some spending money, because otherwise, what was the point, and the first thing you did was raid where ever you knew you could get cheap make up. For me, it was either the market or Boyes,...

My Life in Make Up

So, I'm having a little bit of "bloggers block" and don't know what to blog about today, therefore, I've decided to  do a little tag that I spotted on EllyBellyBaybee. Some of you might find it interesting (woohoo!), but most will probably find it dull as dishwater, for which I can only apologise!1. How old were you when you started wearing makeup? Does this picture of Princess Tiammii (or however you spell it) wearing make up freak anyone...
