Current Favourites :)

Hi Ladies,

So I think I have pretty much missed the boat for September favourites! So here are some of the lovely things I am reaching for at the moment, and a very recent purchase which I am in love with already! :)


1 - St Moriz tanning mist - I purchased this a couple of weeks ago after using the St Moriz tanning mousse for a while and I like this spray version just as much as the original (if not a tiny bit more!) Its quick and easy to apply, and gives a lovely sunkissed colour - thumbs up all round!

2 - Sheer Blonde Gleam Creme - This product never leaves my handbag, and I have used it regulary since I was about fifteen so I thought it was about time I showed it some love! It refreshes the ends of my hair when they start to feel dry and tames fly aways without leaving it greasy, this is one of my favourite hair products.

3 - NYC creme blush in plaza pink - I picked this up on my holidays this summer and I'm so glad I did! its adds a lovely peachy pink glow to the cheeks and is really easy to apply - just twist it up, pop a little on and blend with your fingers - easy peasy! :)

4 - NYX lipstick in Paris - This has been the lippie I have been reaching for most recently on nights out, its a fabulous bright pink with great staying power.

5 - MAC eyeshadow in Naked Lunch - I love this eyeshadow, so much so that I only have the tiniest bit left! it's a really subtle champagne pink with just the right amount of shimmer. I would definitely say this is my most used eye shadow, it looks great teamed with pretty much anything.

6 - MAC eyeshadow in Corduroy - Another favourite eyeshadow, corduroy is a matt brown which I use in the outer corner to add a little extra definition although it might look a little boring in the pan, this is really well pigmented and easy to build upon - I love it!

7 - Kinder eggs - who doesn't love kinder eggs! They always cheer me up (especially right now when I'm completely full of cold!)

and finally, my new hair straightners which are right at the top of my favourites list! After months of being straightner-less, and then a few attempts at cheaper brands (which were no match for my ridiculously thick hair!) I finally decided to spend some pennies on a new set of GHD's.



This is the limited edition pink patterned IV styler for breakthrough breast cancer. I love the detail on them, and they came with a lovely heat resistant mat and case which I think will be great for travelling! Unlike my older GHD's these have the new sleep function, where they turn themselves off after 30 minutes of not being used and they also seem to heat up much quicker :)

Hope you're having a great week!

My NYX Round Lippies! :)

Hi Ladies,

I just thought I'd give you an overview of my NYX round lippies, I do have a couple more but I couldn't find them (they're probably lurking in the bottom of various handbags - sorry! I'll add them in when I come across them!). I think the NYX round lipsticks are great value for money, they have a fantastic colour selection and the formulation of the lipsticks is lovely - good pigmentation, glide on easily and not drying at all. I ordered most of mine online, as sadly you can't get many NYX products here in the uk *sob!* so shipping does bump up the price a little bit, but I still think they're worth it! :)


They are from left to right - Paris, Sierra, Snow White, Earth Angel, Thalia and Castle

My top three are definitely Paris, Snow White and Castle. Paris is a gorgeous barbie pink, perfect for the summer it has a really lovely glossy finish. Colour wise I would say it is pretty close to MAC's Pink Nouveau. Snow white is a true red - Slightly blue toned it looks amazing on nights out for a really striking look and Castle is a lilac/pink with a lovely shimmery finish - really pretty and unlike anything else in my collection.


and thats everything! I hope this was helpful and you're all enjoying this gorgeous weather :)

Speak Soon!

Ebay treat - A NYX eyeshadow trio!

Hi ladies! I can't believe its sunday night already! Where did the weekend go?! This week I ordered myself a NYX eyeshadow trio from ebay as I wanted to get a few autumn coloured eyeshadows, It came yesterday and I am really pleased with it! I think it cost me around £6.50 with postage so not too pricey at all! Here is is pictured below, the shadows from left to right are frosted flake, slate and iced mocha.


I'm really impressed with these shadows and have worn them all weekend! iced mocha is great for the outer corner during the daytime, its dark enough to provide definition but has a lovely bronze/gold shimmer to it which doesn't make it overpowering. Slate is great for the crease and frosted flake is a gorgeous icey pink/cream with the slightest violet undertones. All eyeshadows are shimmer ones, they're quite similar to a few I've seen in the sleek palletes and of the same kindof quality, overall I'm very impressed :-)
Has anyone else tried any nyx products? I wish they were more widely available in the UK!
I have a couple more posts I'm hoping to do before I go to bed or tomorrow evening, one is a product rave the other is an blog award from the lovely Lucy at http://lucyxann.blogspot.com/ which I'm so chuffed to recieve!
Speak to you all soon!
