FILTHY GORGEOUS 'RADIANCE'

2012-04-28T17:29:00.001+01:00

I recently purchased a 3 bottles of Filthy Gorgeous nail polish, only problem is 2 of the bottles won't open. So could only swatch the Radiance.

Radiance is full blown glitter copper pink polish, that will cover your nail with glitter in one coat, I prefer a few coats. And I've applied OPI Rainbow Connection over the top.

Defiantly worth buying as their not that expensive either!

Index finger with just the FG Radiance, and other 2 nails with the Rainbow Connection on top.

LOLA'S CUPCAKES

2012-03-25T10:00:00.000+01:00

If you have a sweet tooth, and can't get enough of cupcakes and looked every where for the perfect taste. Well don't go any further I have tried tons of different ones and to this day I find that Lola's is at the top of the list in big capital letters.

The pink one is a plain vanilla, was so yummy, possibly the breast cancer one.

Red hearts, is the Valentines day one, blackbottom hearts, with cream cheese topping (delicious).

The multicoloured one is a plain vanilla again, for Guy Fawk's Day.

And the final one is a blackforest blackbottom with cream cheese topping(yummy).

SO HEAD DOWN TO HARRODS, SELFRIDGES&CO, AND BUY YOURSELF A LOLA'S CUPCAKE..... JUST STAY AWAY FROM THE TOPSHOP BRANCH ON TUESDAYS AND WE'RE ALL GOOD.

LULU'S TIME BOMB TAKE OFF THE YEARS CLEANSER

2012-02-14T07:32:00.000+00:00

Hey, not reviewed in a while and so recently I received a Carmine make-up box in the post and inside I found a Lulu's Time Bomb Cleanser (Full Size) and it contains a key ingredient used in microdermabrasion: MAGNESIUM OXIDE. Its such a nice creamy with small granules in it, defiantly soft on the skin.
Only just started to use it and find that my skin feels so soft and will keep on using it for a month or so, just to see whether, it gives me a more youthful glow. Will post more about it in a months time.

P.s. If anyone wants info I know a place that does good, cheap microdermabrasion current offer as I know of is £80 for 10 30min sessions, drop a message.

CRACKLE ME UP GOOD!

2012-01-23T10:21:00.002+00:00

This is an earlier swatch of my BarryM Black crackle, from when it first came out, I did it over Essie neon pink, and added a star on my thumb using Essie neon yellow, then finished with some random clear pink glitter tinted nail polish.

I found that with the crackle polish its better to do 2 coats and then let it dry as it gives it a more prominent look compared to the one coat, so with the bigger gaps you can see the under colour better too.

I ♥ NICKI MINAJ OPI

2012-01-19T23:52:00.000+00:00

The Nicki Minaj collection for OPI

Left to Right: Fly, Did It On 'Em, Metallic for Life, Pink Friday, Save Me and Super Bass Shatter.

I brought the set of four mini OPIs from Beautybay, as I wasn't too sure about the colours, but having tested them on my guinea-pig (my mummy) I fell in love with all 4.

Pink Friday with Metallic 4 Life.

Will add other swatches soon.

WELCOME 2012!!

2012-01-01T01:09:00.000+00:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

So after having such a exciting-ish 2011, I'm hoping that 2012 turns out to be better all round.

Less arguments more fun and hopefully tons of romance!!!

WIZARD OF OZ

2011-12-08T22:30:00.004+00:00

A little late on talking about the special edition wizard of oz shoes from Harrods, but better late than never...

I looked every where for a pair after but come on I don't think I'd ever pay £100 for them!!

So I scored the net for another pair similar to it...

However hot the ones above are, their not in my price range! BUT... to my delight I found a lovely pair from New Look!!! :>> Head Over Heels Glitter Court Shoe - Court Shoes - Womens | New Look

Only word to use!! WOW SEXY!!... Ok so two words, but at last my search for a pair of nice(sexy) red glitter shoes is over, I hope if the fit and feel good! Though as they as say if they don't hurt they just at worth it... Or something along the lines of that.

COLOUR BLOCK PLATFORM COURT SHOES!!

2011-12-08T22:23:00.001+00:00

Colour Block Platform Court Shoes - Court Shoes - Womens | New Look

Ordered these beautiful shoes and they just arrived, but the shameful thing is they kill too much, they defiantly don'y feel like the size they say they are. And I was so looking forward to working them on the dance floor too :(

BAILEYS CUPCAKE COMPETITION!!

2011-12-06T17:22:00.002+00:00

I can't express the joy of getting an email saying I've won cupcakes!!!!! :D (I think my mum's getting fed up of my little squeals of joy!!! :D :D :D ♥

Ok so these are the cupcakes, hate the coffee and mint ones, but loved all the others!! And some how I managed to get 2 boxes!!! So was more than happy to share with my not so dear siblings.

GRAZE

2011-12-06T14:31:00.001+00:00

*** Waited all day yesterday for my Monday Graze box to arrive, arrived this morning along with my Tuesday box and oh boy did they look yummy!!!!!!

*** ***

* Keen Bean: red skin peanuts, black beans, edamame beans, chilli broad beans.

It was nice not something I'd order often.

* Hot Mango Salsa: chilli jam and dry mango.

The chilli jam had a nice subtle chilli taste, that didn't over power the mango.

* Bakewell Tart: cherry infused sultanas, cranberries, almonds.

Though I'm not a big fan of almonds, Oh this was lovely. Nice and sweet.

* Honeycomb Flapjack: rustic rolled oats and honeycomb flapjack

Oh talk about heaven, it tasted healthy and naughty all in one go!

* Great Fire Dragon: roasted maize, chilli broad beans, jumbo chilli maize.

This to be honest is not my cup of tea, it has to much of a cornyness to it. It's like when you make microwave popcorn, and the un-popped kernels get cooked.

* Kalamata & Halkidiki Olives: sunflower&Xvirgin olive oil, kalamata & halkidiki olives with chilli, garlic and blackpepper.

These are such gorgeous olives, slightly firm not to hard and not them soggy squashed type. They totally remind me of these chilli olives my mother once got from Costco, with a tiny kick of chilli. Yummmy!!

* Tomato Dipinetti: tomato chutney, rosemary grissinetti.

Not a big fan of the tomato chutney, but the rosemary grissinetti, are so nice, with the right amount of rosemary, could eat them all!! (Had to save some for mum to taste, as I'm such a nice daughter)

* Sour Mango Tangtastic: blackcurrants, fair trade sour mango, cherry infused sultanas.

This one has to be one of my favourite! I keep wondering whether they would taste just as nice blend into a martini.

* Oh and not forgetting my lovely little snowman. (Provided by the people at Graze.com)

RAINBOW CONNECTION

2011-12-05T22:00:00.003+00:00

Ok so for ages I've been meaning to create a blog and I thought why not start it off with a short introduction about me. So I'm Reema, based in London. I'm currently studying cognitive science, love all make-up (not including foundation)!! I love macaroons, well to be honest I love all sweet stuff!! Reading books, music, movies etc typical stuff.

----- ----- ----- ----- -----

So a few months back, when I saw 'The Muppets' trailer, while watching 'Horrible Bosses', I just had to look up more info and I came across OPIs Muppet collection. And Muppets have been close to my heart since I was in diapers so understandable I had to buy a few of them. The 3 I got were Divine Swine, Fresh Frog of Bel Air and Rainbow Connection. My favourite is Rainbow Connection, its my favourite of all time too.

Left to Right: Divine Swine, Fresh Frog of Bel Air and Rainbow Connection.

Below is a swatch of Rainbow Connection, I used a clear base coat and about 3/4 layers of the RC. I found that the colour was so bright and shiny. Though I have found that after a while it does go a bit gloppy near the opening so best to clean it with a cotton bud dipped in nail varnish remover. I'll be adding the other colours in another post soon.

RAINBOW CONNECTION SWATCH.
