Bmx Bandit

As you girlies probably already know I am a bit poorly at the moment. Had to visit the doctor today, who said it could progress to Bronchitis (not good!).

So my lovely friend popped to boots, and got me a cheering up present.

Collection 2000 Nail Polish in Bmx Bandit, a purply/ blue hue, I adore it!

I'm happier now :)

Update

Hello ladies,

This weekend has been a bit non stop, which has resulted in me getting the most hideous of colds. So at this current moment in time, my nose is so so blocked.
Sunday was interesting, I went to a dog show..........I know I am a sad sad person, but hey I enjoyed myself lol.....I sadly think its where I picked up my cold. My puppy dylan got so excited at the views of the other dogs. Here is a quick picture of my little guy:



Friday night I ventured out with my bestmate...........I hear myself cheer. We just went to our local pubs and nightclub. Nothing overly special! Heres some pictures

One of My close friends Richard...silly face




Dan is leaving me to go to OZ :(

Aaron, Myself and Nadiya <3>

To finish of last night I was strolling round Tesco (It's a supermarket in the UK) I was looking at the cosmetics section where I found an uber cheap brand called Wet and Wild. I picked my an eyeshadow duo for £1.98!




As you can see for £1.98 this eyeshadow duo is uber cheap and uber pigmented! A review for this little beauty will be coming soon :)

Splendids and Bads V.3

Hello again!

I thought I would do another post for today, as I have some free time on my hands :)

Splendids
  • Uni - In the near coming future this could indeed be under the bad heading but for now I am happy as I have been reunited with all my pals!
  • Gosh Darling - My fail safe, I still adore it!
  • Kickboxing - Ah my new love, I can't lift my hands over my head, but hey! its toning!!
  • Long Cardigans - hello autumn, hello cardigans! They hide a multitude of sins!!

Bads

  • Arrogance - Ok arrogance in anyone is bad! But in men its way bad, I experienced this yesterday with a guy I was kind of seeing a month ago, lets just say he has not been in my good books!
  • Weird Weather - I wish the weather would make its mind up on what it wants to do, Rain or Sun.........please decide, I plan my outfits around you!!
  • Bitchy Cliques! - Ok so there are some girls whom myself and a couple of my friends were close with. The summer seems to have changed them, as they were totally ignorant and bitchy with us at university. Boo You biatches!

Rant now over, I shall talk later

Haul 003 pt 2

Hi welcome back!
Yes I have more to my haul and indeed I think I may have gone a little over board! But never mind about that!

So next on the agenda is this lovely product from the body shop!


Its a Blush trio in Cool Dusk, which cost me around £12.50. Here is what I managed to get from the website about the product!

With moisturising, skin softening organic cupuassu butter made from the seeds of the Amazon native cupuassu fruit. Contains Community Trade moisturising marula and sesame seed oil.

So its a blusher which also inturns moisturises!? Wow this must be worth it!

Say hello to Maybelline's Colour Sensational Lipstick in Ambre Rose (No. 112)





Its a gorgeous shimmery pink, which glides on the lips with such ease, and is neither too drying or too slick!

So thats my Haul!

Haul 003

Hello!
Gosh today was my first day back to university after an extremely long summer. I will warn you now that this is going to be quite a picture heavy post as my friend has returned my camera :)


After my lecture on "How to care for the patient in an Intensive/Critical Care setting" had finished I decided to go treat myself in the town where my University is placed (Ha not letting on to where that is as it is extremely dull!)

Mac was my first stop, the girls on my local mac counter are gorgeous and so happy to help, and of course always full of gossip on the comings and goings of the town and university. I originally wanted the Notoriety palette but to my dismay, they had sold out earlier in the day. Darn! So I decided to go for a single eye shadow: Retrospeck.





I have wanted some different shades of lipsticks for while now, I wanted to experiment and try and get away from all my nude shades, such as my Gosh Darling and Barry M 101 (Which is uber drying!!).







So I bought a lipstick from boots own brand 17 in the colour, its from the shine on collection and is in the colour Heather Pink.




This product is cheap it cost me no more than £3, and is uber pigmented!!
Check out what else is in my haul in part 2, I went a little over board!

China Glaze Review

Hi again :)

I know this has been a review which is probably long awaited, for that I apologize. I purchased China Glaze Polish in Mediterranean Charm.

I am afraid to say this post will have no pictures, as I have left my camera at my friends!

I have had a bad relationship in the past with China Glaze, I bought Tempest which is a purple shimmer shade.........hoping it would be an opaque application, I was disappointed to discover it was very sheer.

I bought Mediterranean Charm in Sally's for about £5 for a 10ml bottle. It is a Red/Pink shade.

On application I was thrilled to notice the opaque coverage this product delivered! 2 coats of course is standard with a clear top coat to seal the deal.

I decided to test the longevity of the product on my toes, and I am extremely thrilled to reveal it has been chip resistant for up to 7 days :)

Now to deliver a con on this product, and this is the brush size! The brush is very thin which for me (I'm not an expert at applying nail polish.......I am a tad messy) a bit difficult.

But I never let this get me down, as I absolutely love this product and the colour, and it looks fantastic with a tan!!

Price: 4/5 Barry M Nail Paints are better value for money, but still a good price at about £5.

Packaging: 5/5 The outside packaging is good you can see the product and the cap is designed for maximum comfort when applying.

Product: 4/5 I do love this product, and will probably repurchase, it is just the brush that let it down in my eyes sadly.

Update

Hi girlies,

Its already the middle of the weekend, which im quite happy about! I know your probably thinking, are you joking...........but this weekend has been very dull!

I go back to University on Monday, and I have not prepared at all. So tomorrow I will have to buy some stationary.

To celebrate making it to our 3rd year of university my friend Nicki and I went out on Thursday for some drinks..........random unplanned nights certainly are the best!

I picked up some new products from The Body Shop which I will review in due course!

There will be a China Glaze review shortly too! So tell me, how are your weekends going?
