My Ultimate Holy Grail Product : Maxfactor Creme Puff

So I thought I would write a blog post on that one product that I will not go out the house without wearing, that I have been buying since i was 14 years old! (7 years!) and that I just LOVE so much!

Maxfactor Creme Puff!

This inst a fancy product its just a powder or could be used as a foundation if you want a really light coverage but i personally use this on top of my foundation to set the makeup and give me some more coverage and colour..
I get my shade in Medium Beige so it gives me a nice coloring and makes me look tanned and healthy.
I honestly cannot say enough good things about this product, i go through about 1 every 2 months and always re purchase before the old one runs out so I never have to go without!

This retails online for £5.99 witch I think is a great price for such a great product

Dear 16 Year Old Me..

I watched this video expecting a group of people on giving advice on there teenager self's "don't go out with that boy", "Stay in school and try harder.." But instead I watched a video that brought tears to my eyes!
I feel strongly that I should share this since i knew nothing about it and maybe someone reading this who hasn't seen it is now in the no...
I myself am a lover of sunbeds but after watching this and realizing that one sunbed could do this I won't go on them anymore.. (just double up on the spray tans)
share this and help others get more clued up

REVIEW : Dior show extase instant oversize volume mascara

When I got given the chance to try the Dior show extase instant oversize volume mascara for free I obviously jumped at it..
I have previously tried the Dior show mascara before and all thought I liked what it had done to the length of my lashes i felt as if my lashes need a lot more thickness and volume because if i'm not wearing fake lashes (hardly ever) I like my own lashes to look very tick full and long!
So when I heard about this product I thought the heavens had opened!
Not only does this mascara give the length but It really does give you a lot fuller lashes and the volume is great!

Not only is the packaging beautiful sleek and very expensive and rich looking but so is the brush.. It just feels so much elegant and nicer than a high street mascara wand.. Its so thick and really gets in to the eyelashes that are so times quite hard to reach..

This product retails for £23 and I would say if your looking to splurge on a mascara then defiantly get this mascara its soo worth it and will do wonders for your lashes!

MAC Rebel Lipstick Review

So recently I've been feeling to try something different from the usual bright pink lip that I usually rock, And I've seen a lot of hype around the MAC rebel lipstick. In the tube its a very dark vampy purple colour and swatched its a very dark pink/purple...

I think this would look nice with a simple eye, and maybe a bronze eye shadow or a simple winged eyeliner and then this lipstick as the bold look of the face..
So far I'm obsessed with this lipstick and have got so many compliments already!

Jewellery obsession : Gold Hoops / How To Style Gold Hoops

For the last year whenever I'm putting together a outfit the thing that always completes it is pair of big gold hoops.. this might just be something that i love but i don't care and I've taken a few pictures of my fave's to show..

 First Pair :
 From Primark about £3!
 I call these my "Pat butcher Earings", i LOVE them! They look really nice with any make up and wavy hair so they just blend in with the curls!

Second Pair :
I got these in a set of 5 for £1 from primark very plain and simple but again just sets of a outfit nicely and there not over the top so they really go with anything! a great staple and when you get 5 pairs for £1 there a really great investment!

Third Pair :
Again these were another find from primark and were about £2.50, these are SO chavtastic i LOVE them i love to wear these with poker dead straight hair really backcombed with a big quiff really statement and out there and i guess you either love them or hate them but i LOVE them!

Fourth Pair :
I found these in the Dorothy Perkins sale for about £3 i think and i just loved the size and simplicity of them, there very much like the second pair but a lot bigger and with a quilted detail towards the bottom of them. I wear these when i have a big bun on the top of my head so they are the statement piece but not to in your face i love these and they go with everything

Lady Gaga Fame Perfume Review

I am a HUGE lady gaga fan so obviously for Christmas i asked for the lady gaga fame perfume. I personally thought it was going to smell something like a Britney spears perfume.. (not that i don't LOVE the Britney perfumes) & was really pleasantly surprised i thought it was going to be really floral and quite a young scent but its more of a musky deep adult scent! As you can tell by how much I've used I am obsessed with it!

100% recommend  

Shoe Review : Jeffrey Campbell - Spiked Damsel

So i was casually looking through the January sales on some websites and came across something that I could not believe a pair of Jeffrey Campbell Damsels for £29!, of course though they were all sold out so i typed in my email address on soletrader.com and said email me these when they come back..
It was about 3 in the morning when I got the email saying they were back in stock and I screamed and obviously bought them straight away..

About 4 days had past (after i paid for 1-2 day delivery - _ - ) and they shoes had arrived and I fell in love!

I got these in a UK size 6 and they are very true to size!
I walked around in these all day and then wore them out on a night out in London in the snow and raving all night and i can honestly say they are very easy to walk in and didn't really hurt!

I would defiantly recommended these to anyone!

The spikes are actually very sharp and come with extra spikes just in case some fall out.

A fun night out in Leicester square

So Tuesday night (or trashy Tuesdays as i like to call them) i went out to Leicester square with my friend, i always know i'm going to have an eventful night when going out in London. It started with meeting up in Clapham junction station and making our way to vauxhall, we decided to go sit down by the river thames, have a bottle of wine, a bottle of cava a 20 deck of mayfair fags and have a dance..

 After about an hour or so of this and when the wine ran out we decided to go to sainsburys buy 2 more bottles of wine and make our way to west end, of course two drunk girls and a bus is purely entertainment and after decorating the bus with "some people are gay get over it stickers" and doing 10 second downing's  whilst swinging round the poles we decided to get off at Trafalgar sqaure sit down drink some wine and perv on the fit builders..

After a few drinks i always get peckish so decided to go burger king, but somehow manged again flyering up the toilets then slipped and fell and was laying on my face on the middle of burger king toilets, classy i know.
we then ran away like giggling school girls after deciding we wanted McDonalds and satisfied our cravings... but of course there's always a drama and some how ended up in a massive fight with some girls in the toiltets once again classy i know, so we ran for our lives after causing a massive scene HAHA.

Already very drunk we decided to go hang down the alley by ZOO the club we was going to that night and finish the wine and have  a cheeky little "alley cat" photo shoot.. (once I've had a drink i think I'm London's next top model)

We then met two Italian men who had a massive bottle of vodka so we decided to make conversation.. (always make conversation if you see free vodka), turns out they were quite funny and nice to talk to we then all made it in to zoo bar, after 2 bottles of wine and countless glasses of straight vodka.. no idea how i was still standing.. Whilst in the club and dancing my heart off and loving life my friends starts to kiss the Italian man (pictured above) and i can't stop laughing until he grabs my face for a 3 way kiss, i was drunk and didn't care so eh agreeed haha, but to my luck i slipped and fell on the floor and was laying on my back on the middle of the dance floor, this then happened again 5 minuets later..

After running away from the crazy men (and running away with there pints) we ran down stairs to see what was going on, after a few jagerbombs and a few vodka red bulls the dramas start again, my friend was so drunk and lost her coat and went running round the whole club trying to track it down, although if i was in her possition i would of done the same thing, i would of being fuming if i lost one of my furs! thank god she found it and we carried on with the rest of the night.. dancing away, running away from wierdos and giving each other lapdances (drunken cringe memories) apparently after climbing the bar and passing out in the booth ZOO bar had enough of us and we was chucked out.. haha SHAME...

so we made our way to penthouse after being spotted by a promoter we met the week before on another drunken night out and he got us in free so though why not.. it was so crazy going up in the super fast lift up to the top floor the view was amazing and the club was alright..

After dancing here for a while we decided to try and get back into zoo ( fuck knows why) but obviously got turned down so thought fuck it McDonald's (again) and night bus.. After a 45 minuet treck home through south west London we finally made it home, got in our tracksuites, made a tea got some pasta and giggled about the nights stories..

I never do have a dull night when going out in London..

The best high street (drug store) PINK lipsticks..

I seem to have an obsession with buying and trying to find the best pink lipstick out there, I have a collection of all different brands from the high street (drug store) that i have collected over the last 2 years .
I have most likely every shade of pink out there but when i see a new lipstick i just have to get it..
So I've picked out my top 7 lipsticks from all different brands to show and tell you a bit about and ones that i would highly recommended ..

My first lipstick that I'm going to talk about is From BARRY M and is in shade ; 52

This colour is what i would call the most shocking lipstick of my collection its bright neon pink and adds such a nice pop of colour if you want to do a more toned down eye make up and you want to make a statement on your lips.
I love to wear this lipstick when I've done just a simple wing eye liner, some fake eyelashes then this lipstick..
This is sold in Boots and super drug for £4.49 and you can also find it on Ebay/ Amazon ..





My next lipstick is also from BARRY M and is in the shade 62.

This shade is quite similar to my last shade except this colour is a bit more bubblegum pink and is lighter. Because this shade is also very vibrant i do mostly wear it with a toned down eye look because it is so bold, but like the last lipstick its such a nice pop of colour to any girly look.
The Barry M paints are quite a drying lipstick so i would suggest putting a couple layers of lip balm on before you add to lipstick to ensure it doesn't dry as easily..
This also retails for £4.49 in Super drug / Boots / Ebay / Amazon..




The next lipstick I'm going to talk about is from Rimmel London and is in the shade Indulgence 004..

I came across this lipstick when at a market stall, they had lots of lipsticks for £2 so i couldn't help picking up a few! This is from the Lasting finish collection from Rimmel London and is in the shade indulgence 004. This lipstick is amazing, not only is it a lovely shade of pink and amazing quality.. it also smells like sweets!
I would call this shade a dark pink but it also has a hint of coral in there two.
personally i think this would look amazing on all skin tones an i can't say enough good things about it and i would high recommended it..
I've looked online and they are sold in boots for £4.99



The next lipstick is From LAVAL and is in shade 262 ICED PINK..

I had just been paid so was late night browsing on amazon and of course was looking at lipsticks and i came across this colour and just thought it was such a lovely colour, I had never heard of the brand before LAVAL but that didn't stop me i love to try new products..
This colour is a lot calmer and more easy to wear than the other colours I've mentioned so far..
This goes on quite shear so if your wearing a bold smokey eye then this would be nice for just a little colour but if you add a few more layers it will build up into a darker colour..
I found this on Amazon for £2.82 and free delivery!

Up next is L'OREAL Intense in Crazy Fuchsia 370

I also found this lipstick on the same market stall and i bought it for £2!
I can't find how much it retails for but i imagine its over the £5 mark..
This colour is also darker pink and is quite similar to the Rimmel Lipstick, the packaging is lovely, the quality is amazing and the colour is beautiful!
i would definitely recommended this lipstick!






The next lipstick is Also from L'OREAL and is the Rouge Caresse Lipstick in Shade 7 Cheeky Magenta

I can't say enough good things about this lipstick!.. It was also another market find so was £2! but retails in boots for £7.99!
This is such a girly bubblegum pink Nicki Minaj type lipstick the packaging is one again lovely and looks expensive, and the product its self is so moisturizing it honestly feels like your putting on a lip balm when applying. The colour pay off is quite sheer but after a few coats its easily to build upon..





Up next is a lipstick from NYC and is in the shade 405 BLUE ROSE

So i was eying up the MAC girl about town lipstick for a while and i wanted to see if there was a dupe out there and i came across this!
Costing only £1.49 in super drug i really couldn't say no and had to give it ago and oh my gosh i LOVE it!
The pigment is amazing and all you need is one coat, the colour pay off is amazing and i think it stays quite well! the packaging isn't amazing but for the price it cost you really can't complain!
This is probably the darkest shade in my collection and i love it, it also has some blue undertones it in so that makes your teeth look whiter!
I would high recommend this.

And last but not least.. is Revlon in 008 CANDY PINK

This is my lightest shade in my collection and i love it!
It was also a market find so was only £2.. I couldn't find it online but I've found it on eBay for £4.29..
This is the ultimate barbie pink girly pink lipstick colour it is lovely! The packaging is lovely and has a Chanel look with the quilting effect.. and the colour pay off is lovely when first applied you get a quite sheer look but once again if you add to it you can make it more vibrant !




Thank you for reading and i would defiantly recommended going to your local market to find make up products you can find them a lot cheaper!

Diet Update xo

So last week on the 24th i had enough and just decided to hardcore diet haha.. cause realistically i used to eat sooo much shit..
So from that day i decided to cut it out.. now all i eat is brekfast.. a chicken salad for lunch and just a healthy dinner.. no more snacks, or my beloved coke haha.

Not just eating healthy i also go for a about a mile walk every day just to help and also do some really cringe dancing round my room for about an hour a day haha..
I was going to use diet tablets to help.. but i don't think there healthy and not a long term solution..
I would recommend keeping a food diary since you can keep up on your progress, I have mine in a word document and update it everyday with what i drink and eat and what exercise i do..

After doing this for a week i have lost 3 pounds.. I started as 10 stone 13 pounds and I'm now 10 stone 10 pounds :)
I'm actually really pleased because its a good start and I'm going to update this everyweek..

xoxo
