Pick 'n' Mix

 001. I had to work again tonight, and to tell the truth I am absolutely knackered now but I plan to recover tomorrow by having a duvet day! It is actually recommended that you have a duvet day every now n again, a day to forget all your stresses and just chill. It allows you to clear your head and then when you get back to school or work you can concentrate better. I'll let you know whether it works or not on Friday! 
002. Everyone always says that they get dry skin at the beginning of the winters months, and normally I don't suffer that badly. But the last couple of day my skin has gone berserk! if anyone has any products for super dry skin that they would recommend I would be very grateful...there's only so much concealer you can put on until you look ridiculous! 
003. The jumper is my newest item to add to my wardrobe. I brought it the other day and my mum was nice enough to take me. The nails I had at the beginning of the week, both Barry M nail paints as you all should know, I'm a big fan of Barry M! 


I think its time to get some beauty sleep, until tomorrow you lovely ladies!

Welcome to 2012!

Hello Lovelies,
001. Now I know most of my post begin with 'Sorry it's been such a long time, I've had so much school work do to' bah bah bah. I do admit I have had a lot of work to do but for the last month of so I have had no motivation to do anything and I mean anything. All of the Christmas holidays I spend shopping or sleeping. I experience the worst sleeping pattern I have ever had before this Christmas. I was literately going to sleep at 4am sleeping all day and then getting up at like 4-5pm. It was absolutely terrible and the hardest part it getting into a normal sleeping pattern ready for going back to school! But I'm getting there! I also didn't manage to catch up with any of my school work because of the major lack of motivation but apparently neither did anyone else, when you walk in that first day back and everyone is asking each other whether they got pieces of work completed and everyone is saying no, So that wasn't as bigger problem as I original thought it would be.
002. I have been shopping in the sales, but personally I wasn't overly impressed. Although saying that I have found some brilliant bargains, but I always find the sales better a couple of days after starting. 

Next year's Christmas Pj's £9! £9 From La Senza!!  Original £30 what a bargains. I'm sure many of you know that La Senza isn't doing financially well (Sorry I am a business student) so if you like their stuff go because they have an amazing sale. I really hope it doesn't have to close :( And a cheeky peek at my bra which is also La Senza for £5. 

 

Clear mascara (for eyebrows as seen on Beautycrush) Blusher shade 5 & 6 - MUA,  lipstick in Apple blossom - Natural collection, Pow Wow Lip scrub - Lush. Oh my gosh I was over the moon when I saw this on sale, I have wanted to try one of Lush's lip scrub since I first saw them in the store but though £4.95 was a bit steep but this was half price so though I would give it a go! I was hoping to get more things from Lush such as the Gingerbread house but particularly everything had sold out in my local Lush store. 

Blusher shade 5 - MUA

Blusher shade 6 - MUA 

Bracelet - £2 Topshop

Heels & Wedges - New Look each £12 (The heels i wore on NYE) 

Now the boots, an absolute bargains at only £5 - H&M 

Tanning mousse - St Moriz, Make-up remover & Day face cream - Garnier (2 for £5) 

003. Finally I know its a bit late but I hope everything had a lovely Christmas and a nuts New years. I Wish everyone luck with their new year resolutions and all the best for the new year :) 

Lots of love

Cold as Ice

Rimmel - Peppermint 

Barry M - Silver Glitter 140 (Limited Edition Effects) 

As the temperature has dropped and snow is on it's way, I decided to paint my nails in a way to present ice! Sounds kinda cheesy...but I like them! 

I've almost finished my Christmas shopping, just got to get something for my mum but we both waiting for Thursday as its pay day so we going to go shopping then as she still needs to get me something. However I still need to sort out my outfit for Christmas day as well as Boxing day, I want a Christmas jumper for boxing day and a lace dress from H&M for Christmas day but haven't be able to get my hands on them yet. 

I also need to sort out my outfits for New Years eve, I'm having to work but then I'm heading to a casino royale themed 18th/new year's party so it's all evening gowns and cocktail dresses, then I'm off to another party for the countdown. I personally think sequins have been bigger than ever this year so really want to get my hands on something glittery for the second party. Also been looking at shoes and I'm finding it rather hard to decide between heels from New Look or wedges from eBay so please comments which you prefer because I need to order them asap! 

Lots of Love     x 

Piggy went to market.

Alright Barry!

Barry M - croc effect 

Relvon - gold coin 

This is the new Barry M effect nail paint which I prefer this one from the other original effects Barry M brought out a couple of months ago. It actually works and creates this brilliant unique croc effect. I love it!
I personally haven't seen in it the shops near me but keep your eye out!

Little Boots

Tuesday Evening I went to Boots to re-purchase my foundation as I ran out at the weekend but when I got to boots they had an offer on Revlon products. So if you spent £15 or more on any Revlon products you got a free gift worth £25, Brilliant! I also had a coupon for 17 products, if I brought any 17 product I got a free concealer, so I brought my cousin a nail vanish and got a free concealer worth £4.99. 

 Colorstay foundation 150 buff, (I also brought another product which is a Christmas present for my friend whom reads my blog) 17 nail vanish in purple jewel, natural collection nail vanish in antique coral (both Christmas presents for my cousin) 17 hide & chic eye brightening concealer in light rose. 

 Free Revlon gift box

 Three products came with the free gift - nail vanish in 146 gold coin, Grow luscious mascara in blackest black & lipgloss in 170 coral 

I'm really happy with all the product although I sometime find the mascara smudges but may give it a couple more days until I make my full judgement. but I still can't believe what I can't home with when I was only heading out to get foundation! 

I'm hopefully going to be doing some OOTD's this week as I'm borrowing my brother's camera for a couple of days so they will be in better quality, if I find a good setup! 

Lots of love     x 

On Wednesday I was lucky enough to go to the Clothes Show Live in Birmingham! And like every year it was amazing! It was the last day so super busy however I did manage to come home with some money which is unusual as I did find some great bargains. I personally think the best deals are on all the make-up when you buy a £10 gift bag which ends up being worth £55 What a deal! The catwalk was super! all based on a night in a mall, when the mannequins come alive which also included BB from Dirty Sexy Things. As well as George Lamb (aka Mr Hottie) some people from Hollyoaks and others. If you have never been to The Clothes Show Live before I would recommend it, it is a great day out, I'm not sure how busy it is the other day as i always go on the Wednesday which is pretty busy. I might try and go to the London one next year...we'll have to see!
