NEW CID I-POUNT LIPSTICK IN FUCHSIA

2012-02-20T23:53:00.000Z

Of course when you find a great mascara that you need to share with the world, a lippie needs to go with it.

~~About a million~~ about a year or two ago, I received some products from Yagolicious, in particular a lipstick, that I fell head over heels for, but I was afraid to use it as I didnt want to be lusting over the empty. But I found a dupe its this! New CID i-pout in Fuchsia 1309. Glides on nicely, and very pigmented!

The two greatest features are the fact it lights up, and there's a mirror, I'm starting to have a fascination for products with extra bits on it. It has blue undertones, so I wont look like im auditioning to be a clown! Therese also flecks of shimmer in it too :)

CALMING SATURDAY WITH NEOM CANDLES

2012-02-18T11:01:00.000Z

I always like to stay calm and be positive, with the help of candles it actually helps you have a better weekend I find anyways! This Neom Candle helps me do just that! I love Neom candles, and this is one of my favourite candles. Its the perfect candle for indulging and smells like orange blossoms, without the citrus-y scent, however it has a feminine touch!

It's great for lightening you mood, and your room too.

Great whilst meditation or reading a book.

Sometimes I dream of waking in a luxury pad in France somewhere, for now it will be a dream.

GUERLAIN NOIR G MASCARA REVIEW

2012-02-17T10:00:00.000Z

When I heard Guerlain was releasing a new mascara, I was really excited. I'm a real mascara junkie, with barely there lashes. Not the greatest combination.

Not to mention, I am the worst when I comes to applying lashes, so whilst others are sporting gorgeous fuller lashes, I'm the girl in the corner admiring your application.

BUT FEAR NOT...

When my lashes laid eyes on this mascara the first thing that I had to study where the bristles, and check whether or not the would coat my lashes with some luxury goodness.

Now I'm not sure if its the mirror, but this mascara weighs a ton, as in you could probably use it to tone up your arms!! *blank stare* ok maybe a slight exaggeration there, but it is pretty weighty for a mascara.

Nonetheless it has found itself to become my new favourite mascara.

The bristles are amazing, as they are really short and space-y (if thats a word) meaning that they can get to the root of the lashes in no time. I also love that its as black as night, and a few coats gives me the false lash effect.

Evry noe and again, I get scared of mascaras like this as I feel that they will give panda eyes (the horribly smudged mascara look, but this to no avail! FAB!!!! The wand is made from fibres too.

On two occasions my sister (pro at lash application) asked on numerous occasions if I was wearing lashes, and for a while she didnt believe me. The great thing about this mascara is that its refillable so, you not repurchasing a new mirrored mascara everytime, your just replacing the liquid contents.

two coats on top and bottom lashes, they are all real, no fake lashes used.

PROS

great for small lashes
lengthening
volumizing
mirror included with mascara
not clumpy
carbon black formulation
tiny mascara wand
refillable wand applicator
the list of pros can fill up an encyclopedia seriously!

CONS

pricey
weighs a ton

FASHION THE MUSIC - URBANEARS

2012-01-08T11:27:00.000Z

Sunday Morning I love to have a little lie in before Church and listen to a few songs, and also when I'm getting ready, I'm normally blasting the music! but when I leave I don't always have that same blasting music on my travels.

At times, when on my London travels sometimes my music can be so loud that people next to me can hear the music, or I get those strange looks from people!

I've now found a way to have a party in public, and no one else can hear it, and stay fashionable too! PROBLEM SOLVED! URBAN EARS

These trendy Urbanears are from Stockholm that attain a unusual, colourful headphones and impeccable sound that is quite impressive!Once you plonk these on your ears, you start to wonder what you use before this. This style is called the Plattan and I'd describe it as retro, but I like considering I'm quite classic, I do likey. I went with the Cerise colour to add colour to any outfit I wear, However it does come in a plethora of colours

This are like my go to headphones, I'm pretty much wearing them all the time! Every now and again my sister steals them from me! When she does, I'm pretty sure it effects my blood stream when she does so!

You want to know why I love it so much:

They are compatible with any music player with 3.5 mm of wire.
The cord is fabric, so its less likely to become a ball of wires with its copper wires on show
You can plug in another pair of headphones into the headphones for added sharing
It's a microphone and remote in one
Compatible works with my iPhone, iPod, and Blackberry
Best of all I can have a party in ear ears whilst boring commuters read the daily newspaper in peace

Happy New Year!!!!

I'm so happy its 2012, I feel like life begins now lol (post university life). I spent the evening in church (doesnt feel right anywhere else). Before heading over to a house party to a beautiful house over in Essex! Had a lot of fun, although some of the music was way older than me.

Next headed to an apartment in Central London, which we arrived at rather late (4AM). Saw a few faces I havent seen in ages which is always fun, with bombs of laughter.

Went to a friends chillaxing session in East London, in which my body signed out. Got home at 10:30 this morning, and had the best sleep ever.

As I went to many places, a few tweeks to my makeup and outfit was need!
