Getting Ready with Rimmel

Image
Magnif'eyes Eye contouring Palette* I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this palette, the eyeshadows are great to work with, and easy to blend. I also love the range of colours, it is nice that you can create a gorgeous gold/bronzey looks but also mix the look up with some deep purple tones! I am definitely a fan. Its also a god send that Rimmel have mixed matte and shimmers in this palette. Its turns the palette into a completely versatile one, instead of ones just for party looks. ScandalEyes Bold Liquid Liner* I love that this liner has a balled tip, to give a bold fierce look. Granted creating the tapered flick was slightly more tricky with the balled tip, but I found going lightly and starting from the outer eye cleared this problem up almost immediately. I found ball tip didn't drag along the eye lid, which is helps enable a smoother finish to the look. Volume Colourist Mascara* I can remember when I worked in boots and ladies went wild for this mas

Lush Boxing Day Sale

Ah, the day twitter exploded with rude tweets to Lush, other people being rude to the haters, other people telling others that they were essentially losers for sitting in an online queue to get some half price bath bombs. Well I was that loser. Although I didn't spend my boxing day bashing Lush's twitter page. In fairness it really isn't an issue being in an online queue.... because, er hello, its virtual so you can carry your phone round with you all day and still be apart of the queue. So whilst I was a loser in a queue I was actually having a rather productive day. But anyway enough with the politics, lets talk Bathbombs! I'm not entirely sure how long I actually queued for but once I got in, I rushed round the site like a crazy lady. By the time I got through to the website there were 22 products left (although some products where already sold out from the 22 listed) Shoot for the stars I used this earlier in the festive season and whilst it wasn'

New Year, New Self Improvement Project

I'm not massive on the 'New Year, New Me' shit that goes around on my Facebook. But this year I feel like I've fallen in to that a category a little. But looking at the whole 'New Year, New Me' thing, I do stand by the fact that you can't simply be a new you, because you are you. I like to think of new years as a 'New year, new self improvement project'. I want to actually do things this year and achieve something, I mean we all say that we are going to join a gym and then become a super fit person, but who actually does this? However this year, I want to make life easier and less stressful. Firstly I really need to finish reading my book on hygge, cuz I like the idea of having a Hygge lifestyle. From what I have read so far from ' The Little Book Of Hygge'  by Meik Wiking I kind of feel that I already have it half down thanks to my mum and her ability to light a room in a hygge-ish way. I haven't finished the book yet but I love t

What I got for Christmas

Image
Hello everyone! Im back after a few weeks break, which I kind of enjoyed... but now Im currently blogging from my new desk which I love. So what did I get for christmas is the important question. I haven't photographed all of my presents as a kettle on my blog is hardly genre fitting is it?! ha. A few of my favourites, were my Calligraphy kit, my 1kg of Lush's Snow Fairy, my new soft boxes which is probably the most amazing present ever... HELLO photo taking at like 8pm. I got a few really thoughtful presents, such as the Harry Potter Blu-rays after moaning to my boyfriend that Now TV had removed the potter series. Even though Tristan said that he is beginning to hate Harry Potter he still got them for me. I got a gorgeous coat from Topshop (pictured above), having wanted it for months Tristan ended up going up and down the east south coast to each Topshop looking for it, and eventually ended up with at least 2 coats having ordered off line as
