Kim Kardashian!

Hey, Finally got round to uploading these photos. I have styled my hair with GHDs. I sectioned parts of my hair off then curled it all. I took the GHD's and curled my hair away from my face. I used Aussie, take the heat, leave in spray. As my heat protection.

After I had curled all my hair I put my head forward and then brushed my hair roughly from the back and sprayed my hair all over with the L'OREAL Paris, Elnett, hair spray. I sprayed my hair whilst my head was upside down and then when I put my head back I sprayed again all over and under my layers. It then creates these loose big voluminous curls. My hair holds this style quite well but I know everyone will have different hair types. So maybe a different hold in spray is required. Perhaps a wax based spray.

Once the look is complete I then used TONI & GUY Finishing shine spray. Which smells nice and fresh and creates a nice shine on the top of the hair.

Foundation- CHANEL Tient Innocence. Beige 40. Can use any full coverage foundation. (Tient Innocence is not full coverage I just slapped some more on!)

Concealer- Topshops, conceal in LIGHT. ( review- It is a bit cakey but if set with a powder then it's ok. Good base for eye shadows.)

Bronzer- MAC, Mineralize skin finish natural, Medium Deep. 

Highlighter- MAC, Hush Frost. Applied on the top of my cheeks to highlight. Also at the top of my eye on the arch. 

Eyebrows- REVLON, ColorStay 12 hour eye shadow in 02 Coffee Bean. I used the darkest shadow to shade in my eye brows. As Kim has quite full eye brows but mine are quite thin and short. I also lengthened them slightly using this eye shadow. 

Eyes- Again I used the 02 Coffee Bean light colours all over the lid then to contour I used Bobbi Brown's Velvet Plum, Metallic eye shadow. 

Mascara- Bobbi Brown's Lengthen and waterproof. This is a tubular mascara that when comes off comes off in tubes like the Clinique High Impact Mascara. 

Eye Liner- Bobbi Brown's gel eye liner. In Black Inc. 

Lips- MAC Hue Listick. Then Clnique lipgloss and L'oreal Glam shine reflection.

I think to set this look off if i was going for a night out I would wear some big eye lashes! I really like my shuemura eye lashes. They are a natural look with black and brown lashes and double layered.

Hope you enjoyed this look!

Eczema Sufferers? Tried LOADS of creams??? LUSH!!

Hey, 


Sorry I was meant to post my Kim Kardashian make-up photos but have not had a chance to do it this week as I have been working every day.

I was just looking on various websites for some of the Lush products that have been discontinued. I then came across this cream on e-bay. I have tried Lush's Dream Cream on my hand in the shop and it felt and smelt really good. I then read further down the page of this seller that it can possibly improve eczema. 

Working in a health care environment I know how difficult it is for people suffering from eczema, my sisters and my nephew have eczema and it can be awful. So I thought I would share this just in case it can help people or just to give it a go.

I get occasional eczema depending on the weather and my asthma. Especially when the doctors are giving you a million and one creams to try. 

If you want to try this I think it would be better to test on a small amount of skin and see how it goes throughout the day. However this cream seems to have worked for some people. But I think it it probably best to try on skin that isn't broken just in case some people are allergic to it. Have a go in the shop!

Have already e-mailed my sisters to let them know! So thought I would tell others! If it has worked for you or anyone else let me know! Or any bad effects/allergic reactions.


Hope everyone's having a good day!

Make-up Ideas

Hey,

So I was thinking of more things to do other than spend all my money on buying clothes and make-up. I think I might start to do certain looks. Now back in Octoberish 2010 I saw an advert on tv for 'The Kardashians', the clip was of Kim Kardashian screaming because her brother or the dog or whatever threw water over her whilst she was sunbathing.....I was like omg what the hell is this?! and my flat mate was like ...yknow the Kardashians....I was like no never heard of them...who are these annoying people? My flat mate then told me about the OJ Simpson case and how the father was his friend and a lawyer etc. I was like OK and now these girls are famous...He was like yeah pretty much. So anyway I never watched their reality tv show(s) because they looked AWFUL (however part of me knew if I watched one I would immediately want to watch them all), low and behold....I gave in to all that advertising and now have jumped on the I HEART the Kardashians band wagon....god help me.

However I do really like Kim's make-up in fact all the girls make-up they all look so flawless. So I was thinking of creating a Kim Kardashian look.

Also her hair and some fake eye lashes! I might give this a go tomorrow but I need to find some pictures first.

I will hopefully upload some tomorrow!

Hope everyone's alright
I am off to bed now,
Night dolls ;)

Review: No7 Limited Edition, Sunset Metallic Eye Shadow Palette.

I have just taken these pictures and I applied this Eye Shadow at about 1pm today and have not touched it! And its still on. I think it is definitely worth the money or if you manage to get the £5 off No7 then it is definitely worth the money at £8 with a voucher. 

It was very easy to apply and I have used all the colours on my eyes in the picture. 

The only thing is, you have to be really careful when applying the dark shade as some of it fell on to the top of my cheek when I applied it and didn't realise until in the changing rooms lol. 

The whole make-up look although some of my bronzer or in fact most of it has come off. And no lipstick on....oh well. 

And of course my new scarf :)

Shopping (Again) at ZARA + M&S!

Hello, Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

I went into Manchester city centre today to look for a smart/casual jacket. I went into M&S where my sister got hers from and I had a look and I couldn't find ANY!!! Not sure why, maybe because they were having a sale on. Just as I was about to walk out I walked past some clothes rails then I came across this lovely cream Jacket ( I was aiming for a pale grey colour) so I picked that up along with another. I tried them on and I bought the one that was just randomly out on the rail. I love these smart/casual jackets as they dress up any outfit.

It looks really shiny on here but it isn't really.

The jacket is from the Indigo collection at M&S and is made out of Pure linen. It was £39.50.

After I decided I wanted to go to Zara.....bad idea for my poor purse :(

I have seen a lot of these tops on other peoples blogs and channels and I really do like them but I just didnt think how much I would. I picked up this white shirt...

Tried it on.....

And fell in LOVE!

So Expensive I thought, £39.99 and 100% silk....but I love it! Trust me, the messiest person in the world to choose, not only a white shirt but that has to be dry cleaned too!! Ah well.

Then I tried on some really comfy pink trousers. I have always wanted some bright pink trousers but was never brave enough. I tried them on and they looked great but were about £30 so I decided to have a look and see if there were any more in the store. I found some other pink cropped trousers at £19.99 and preferred them to the previous pair. 

They have a zip at the side, the only problem is there isn't anything to stop it from going back down again like a button. But when I tried them on, the zip didnt feel like it was going to come undone so that was okay. 

Putting the Silk top together with the cropped jeans...(Above)

Then I bought this scarf which was £19.99 I think. I love the colours and the print on it. It is 100% Cotton too. Also from ZARA.

All together.

Looks better in real life. I strongly suggest people go to Zara they have a great range of spring and summer clothes. Lots of florals and bright colours!

Soap and Glory!! and No 7 Limited Edition Eye Palette all from Boots! ( 3 for 2!)

Hello everyone! 

I was meant to post earlier today as I have had a day off work but I have been so tired all day that I have just been trying to sleep. I kinda got distracted by shopping though...

So I have heard so much about Soap and Glory hand cream, people love it and it is a must must! Sooo I went to Boots and they were having a 3 for 2 Sale on. I have never tried any of the the Soap and Glory products so was quite excited to see what they had to offer. They have EVERYTHING it was quite hard to decide what I wanted especially because I was still very tired lol.

I bought the HAND FOOD, GLOW LOTION, and The SCRUB OF YOUR LIFE, Loving the names there!!

HAND FOOD was £4.85.

 I have tried it and it smells really nice. On the front of the tube it says: non-greasy hydrating hand butter with shea butter, macadamia oil & marshmallow. I think you can really smell the Shea butter and macadamia oil....then the sweet smell of the marshmallow. Yumyum! However it reminds me of a smell I have smelt before....not sure what it is but it is familiar. 

GLOW LOTION, £5.11

I am so excited about trying this product. I think it will be perfect for a night out and for under my foundation. And then as it says on the bottle, you can use it on your neck and shoulders as a shimmery glow. I have already tested it on my arm and on my face and the shimmer is really subtle so you should only see it where the light hits. I love this product already! Also the smell is amazing it smells like a Lush shampoo bar so it is like a perfume as well! Winner all round for me :)

It comes in this box.

It has this small label on the tube

THE SCRUB OF YOUR LIFE, £6.64.

On the tube it says: the ultimate super-smoothing body buffer. Basically it says to wet skin then turn off the shower and scrub until satisfied then wash off. It also warns not to scrub into irritated areas of the skin. But that is just common sense anyway. I have not used this yet but I am looking forward to using it tomorrow. I have smelt this and it again smells soooo good!!! I will have to write again tomorrow to tell you what it smells like after showering.

No 7 SUNSET METALLIC EYE PALETTE £13.

After buying all three Soap and Glory products I was given a £5 No7 voucher so decided to look at the stall in Boots. The eye palette immediately caught my eye and so I decided to swatch some on my hand and fell in love with the colours. I also really liked the packaging for summer. Kind of Hawaiian Beach tropics look on the outside of the packaging. The palette comes with a mirror and four colours. 

The first one on the top left is the Dark kaki Green colour that is very pigmented and looks really good for creating a smoky eye. When I swatched this colour on my hand you really don't need much at all and blends easily.

 Top right is the gold/yellow shimmery colour could possibly use for highlighting too.

 Bottom right is a shimmery green colour that would look amazing to blend in with the darker kaki colour. 

Then the last is the bronze shimmer, that again can be used to highlight. 

Cannot wait to use this either! Will be putting up the picture of when I use this soon!

 Sorry it is really blurry I could not take a better picture...let me know if you want more details on this product.

Messy Room in the back there!

Thankyou for looking!!

Hope you have a great day tomorrow

Update on my bedroom.

Good Morning Everyone!

Just thought I should let you know that I have bought two rolls of the Oriental Garden Wallpaper in Linen. They will be going on just one wall. The rest will be in a creamy white.I will not be overseeing this as my parents are decorating my room whilst I am still working in Manchester.

I did choose that carpet that I put up in my pictures as a square sample. That was from a small place where I live. I will give more details when I actually know.

I have also found a perfect dressing table after looking at loads that were quite over priced as some where like £800 and had a sale that was reducing them to like £400. So I eventually found one on e-bay for £120 I think but they have a shop in Blackburn so I think my parents are going there to pick it up and hopefully I will get the stool to match. 

I couldn't put up a picture on here for some reason so as soon as I next go home I will be putting up a picture of this. Quite excited about it all now!

It has all come together so quickly my Mum phoned the other day to tell me they have stripped all the walls! Very exciting. 

Right I have to go now, Gym then into work! Hope everyone is having a good day!
