My week in outfits...

Cannot believe I haven't blogged all week! I've hardly even been on blogger to see what you've all been up to which has been annoying. Basically I've been so busy, worked every day then just had plans every night, nothing particularly exciting just dinner with the girls, drinks with friends, then I went out with work on Friday, recovered yesterday then went out with the girls last night! Busy week! Anyway I've tried to save a bit of money so not bought much, however I did manage a quick Topshop spree on Thursday to finally get my american flag denim shorts, which I actually wore Friday night and last night! Great purchase!

This was a work outfit on one of the cooler days at the end of the week, just a simple oversized shirt from Primark over leggings. I also wore my hair extensions straight which I almost NEVER do. And from this picture you can see why!

This was for a catchup with one of my best friends who came back from Maga, we just went the pub and it had been such a beaut day so I wore my dark denim high waisted shorts from Miss Selfridge with a baggy rose pink Primark tshirt. 

Now I do love this outfit, just not on me. It's one of those skirts that you want to be able to wear, but that looks hideous actually on me. The skirt was from primark and I wore it with my coral New Look wedges and just a plain black vest. Like I said...loved the outfit, just not on me! I was in look with my makeup on this, very plain but with one of my Sleek Pout Paints in Milkshake!

Easily my favourite outfit of the week! I went for a drink on Wednesday in town, and went for my Primark skinny pale blue jeans (SO TIGHT!) with my Office boat shoes and coral Urban Outfitters handbag. I can't wait to wear these jeans again!

This is pretty standard for me, denim shorts, tights, checked shirt and trainers. This was just for dinner with the girls, and this t-shirt was about a year old and I'd never worn it. So I ended up cutting the neck and sleeves out and made it a vest. The design is amazing, two skulls kissing surrounded by flowers and other random things. 

This one is pretty similar to the last one, I went to the zoo today with a friend so just threw on my old faithful New Look high waisted shorts with converse and checked shirt, plus the sunglasses of course!!

Lovely toilet picture here! Sorry about that! These are my new Topshop shorts, they horrendously short but absolutely worth it! I wore them with just a plain black Primark body, my Office shoes and urban outfitters bag. Lush outfit, I love it!

So that's it really, I also got a load of new Model's Own nail varnishes so hopefully have lots of nice nail of the day's coming up. I found an amazing nail combination this week, I'll definitely be wearing this all the time now.

Just a really barbie pink from H&M, with Pink Fizz from models own over the top. SO girlie and glittery, can't go wrong!

Anyway hopefully I'll get back onto blogging again this week, I've got the Witch face primer to review for you, such an amazing product, and I promise you'll get my top 10 lip product post!

Another haul....

Hello lovelies!! How BEAUT is the weather today?! Me and Mum took ourselves over to Nuneaton today to do a bit of shopping, and I was fully not expecting to get anything (Nuneaton isn't exactly the best for shopping!) But I did pretty well in the last of the sales! My main excitement is due to these babies...

I wasn't even aware these were out yet!? And I certainly didn't think this Superdrug even stocked Sleek but  they do and they had quite a good selection. Anyway I snapped up four of these to start off my collection....I got (l-r) 160 Pinkini, 158 Rosette, 162 Milkshake (these swatches don't do this justice, its incredible!) and 161 Minx. I'm so pleased with these, I think I may have skipped out of Superdrug....

Anyway the rest of my haul is here....it's a bit all over the place but I kind of just picked the odd thing up in random shops.....

Also, I have to show you my new toy...

They're the Andrew Barton wave makers, and they are amazing. I was so bored of either having straight or curly hair, and I fancied a bit of a change. I did a before and after pic for you, but the before pic is APPALLING!! Sorry, I got halfway through my hair and realised I'd not done one that I had to snap one, and then realised I'd left the macro setting on!! But it gives you a rough idea...

It looks better with the outfit of the day so you can see the whole look....

(Sorry about getting the oven in there....my usual photographer was absent so I had to get my mum to do it and she couldn't be bothered to put her glasses on!)

Top and Skirt: H&M

Sandals: Primark

Necklace: New Look

Bracelets and rings: Mainly Foverer 21, H&M

Has anyone else picked up these Pout Paints yet?

July favourites....

Here comes my favourite time of the month! I've done a video for you this month, as last month I was feeling really rubbish and under the weather and only posted a couple of crappy pictures and hardly had any favourites! This month though I could have gone on and on and on! My main thing this month is hand and nail care, I've really trying to look after and grow my own nails, and with that has come a whole load of new additions to my nail varnish collection!!

Anyway here's the video so take a look....lots of lovely things that I can't get enough of!

Dove Intensive Repair...

Not one to meddle too much in the washing stages of hair preening (I’m a shampoo once, conditioner on the ends, rinse, dry kind of girl) I wasn’t too bothered about this little Dove bottle when I got it free with my asos order AGES ago. Last night, however, I was bored and in need of some hair loving, so decided to give it a try. It’s the new intense repair conditioning mask from Dove, and let me tell you it’s a miracle in a bottle. 

This is only a sample size, and you could probably get 2/3 washes with this depending on how much you use. I only popped a small amount through my ends beause I’m a devil for only washing my hair intermittently thoroughout the week and I hate it getting greasy too much. It tells you to wash your hair with Dove shampoo (sorry, I used V05) then pop it in your hair for a minute, before rinsing. I actually left it on for a bit longer than that as the ends of my hair are a bit of a mess, but I didn’t have to wait around because as soon as I put it on, I wacked my hair in a top knot and continued exfoliating/shaving legs/ washing face etc etc. The added benefit of this was the steam in the shower (I like it HOT) made the treatment mask extra effective!. I rinsed it out after about 3 or 4 minutes with as icy cold water as I could manage (bbrrrrrr!!!) and it made my hair feel amazing! So soft and it smelt amazing (typical Dove smell that doesn’t linger or offend anyone) and I will most definiutly be buying a full size bottle of this. Thanks ASOS, you delivered me a hair-miricle!!

Everyday hair tutorial....

Hey lovelies....I've been promising this for a while and it's taken me about two months to get around to uploading, this is actually from when I was videoing on photobooth on my mac so I apologise it's not as great quality as some of my newer ones, and apologies for having to keep getting up to plug/unplug things! Back when I was a bit more amateur...although I still am lets be fair!

I didn't show the extension I used in the video because I didn't have a packet of them, but as soon as I bought my new one's I took a picture for you....

Anyway...here it is. Any questions just comment here or on my youtube channel :)

Tears dry on their own....

OK yes I know that's quite a depressing title but it's just a little tribute to the amazingly talented Amy Winehouse, from my fave song of hers. Such a shame :(

Anyway enough of that, hello lovelies :) Hope you've all had an amazing weekend, I had a fab night out last night with a couple of the girls, but I'm paying for it now, I'm SO tired and I couldn't even manage to finish my Nando's earlier! Must be bad! I got a couple of shots before we went out, and had a little play on photobooth (standard pre-night out activity so it would seem!) .....

ME: Top: H&M

Jeans: Primark

Jewellery: Mainly Dorothy Perkins

I am in love with these jeans, even though it did take a few lunges and trips up and down the stairs to loosen them up because they were practically sprayed on!

I popped into Leicester with the parents today, I didn't need/want anything except a free meal from them but I did pick up a couple of bits in H&M.....

Just some standard jewellery, nothing too amazing, but I am really into these sort of bracelets at the moment. Their only downfall is taking them off at half three in the morning after a night out where I thought it would be a good idea to pile them on....yes this was the exact scenario from half three this morning, I think I must have given up halfway through because I woke up wearing most of them this morning. Also, a quick snap of my OOTD from today, could NOT be bothered so it was my standard outfit of checked shirt, denim shorts, tights and trainers.

Shirt: Forever 21

Black vest: Primark

Trainers: Nike vintage blazers at Office

Twice baked....

I woke up to a lovely surprise this morning, my Body Shop parcel came, which was brilliant considering it only got dispatched yesterday! So first of, YAY for The Body Shop!

Secondly, YAY for their amazing makeup which, until I spent a good ten minutes discussing the merits of a shimmer versus a matt bronzer with the lady in my local store on Thursday, I'd never really been bothered about before. Whilst it's true that I am what could only be described as addicted to their all in one face base (I've been using this for forever and a day!) I only ever walk in, grab it and walk out again. I kind of just wandered into The Body Shop out of boredom on my lunch break and discovered their Baked To Last Range which is just stunning! I didn't actually get any there and then, and instead came home and popped on their website to see if they happened to have any offers on. And let me tell you, oh yes they did!! If you spent over £40, you got £20 off your order, and free delivery on orders over £20, which I had a feeling wouldn't be a problem. This is what I got....

They had two bronzers, this one was the lighter of the two and was actually a lot lighter than I'd ever buy. I think it would be OK as a bit of an extra colour over my face when I have a tan, a bit like a powder, or even a bronzing highlighter. I'd definitely pick up the darker bronzer next time I'm in The Body Shop, it's not too shimmery to be used all over the face, and the colour stays all day! This one was in Warm Glow. 

I'm not very experimental (as you may know) when it comes to eyeshadows, but they had some gorgeous colours in their baked eyeshadows. They have two tones to them, a dark and a light. They are SO pigmented, I haven't actually tried this yet but they look like they'll go on amazingly! This one was in  Moonstone, but I also liked the look of Copper and Starlight. 

This was easily my favourite buy, their baked blusher in Petal. Again like the eyeshadow it has two colours to it, but swirling a big brush across the two of these gives a lovely colour. The pale colour on the right makes a great highlighter, I wore the pink as a blusher with a sweep of the highlighter today and it has stayed put all day, it's such a beautiful pinky colour that really matches my skin tone. 

The last think I bought was one of their cult products, their shimmer cube palettes. Not much needs to be said about these, gorgeous colours, really pigmented, and work well alone or together to create a smokey eye. 

Has anyone else tried anything from the Baked range from The Body Shop? Do you recommend any other colours/shades?
