Nails of the day: 10/11/11

Hello my loves,

OK so today I decided to paint my nails, I was a tad bit bored and thought why not I ain't got nothing else to do. Its been a while since I painted my nails, but since they're (lowly) starting to grow back I thought I would give them a little paint.


The nail polishes of choice are:
  • Cyan Blue nail paint by Barry M
  • Strawberry speed dry+ nail polish by Avon

ps I am finally going to the Stratford Westfield tomorrow (I chose this Westfield 1. I've never been to the Stratford one and 2. its a lot closer to my house than the one in Shepherd's Bush). And as I have birthday money to spend I'm hoping I will pick up some stuff to blog about :)

"Fashion is now, style is forever!"

Hey chickadees,

OK so after like 3 weeks I am finally putting some swatches up of the FrontCover Style Queen Collection.

I only found out about this because my mum saw an advert in a newspaper (Metro I think) and when I saw that it was £17 instead of the original £35 I was like I MUST GET TO A BOOTS NOW! So on Saturday morning my mum went out and she brought me back the Collection. I don't know if this is still available, but if you happen to come across it then I would definitely pick it up.

So what does this collection come with?
  • A mirror
  • 7 domed baked eyeshadows
  • 6 Satin pressed eyeshadows
  • 6 Lip Glosses
  • Shadow line (a liquid you use to make an eyeshadow an eyeliner)
  • 2 cheek domes
  • 2 Iridescent pigments
  • Black mascara and mascara sealer
  • Around the mirror there are directions for the look on the cover
  • 6 make up brushes
  • Mini eyelash curler
  • Pencil sharpener

AVON C15 Haul

Hola,

So I'm finally blogging about Septembers Avon haul :)

I didn't get as much as I usually do from Avon, But lets get cracking...

You may have seen me tweet about this bag, cos I couldn't contain my excitement about it haha.

Its a Kylee bag , it is a gorgeous faux leather handbag. Its very spacious and I love the chain link straps.- £12.50

 
I got another Christian Lacroix perfume the fragrance is called Nuit (for her EDP 50ml) and it has a very musky full bodied scent (I hope you like my attempts at a description haha) - it came with a free watch which was purple but I gave it to my mum before I took a picture of it (doh!) - £14
Glazewear Sparkle Lip Gloss- Shimmering Amethyst
A gorgeous shimmery pink lip gloss, that is very pigmented. - £2.10
Color Trend Sweet Twist Lip Gloss - Berries and Cream
OMG! This stuff actually smells like candy, every time I smell it I want to eat it. The colour is another pink but its not shimmery and a bit more opaque than than Shimmering amethyst.- £3.50
AVON Supershock eyeliner - Shimmering Sapphire - 
This is a really nice gel liner. Its a little difficult to get on a soft brush that AVON provide you need a stiff-ish brush like the MAC 208. Its not overpowering when you put it on the eye and its very smooth and doesn't come out chunky or clumpy. - £2.80
Swatches of the lip glosses and gel liner. Bottom to top: Shimmering Amethyst, Berries and Cream and Shimmering Sapphire.
AVON SuperShock mascara - Black
This really lengthens my lashes and I love it. Only problem is that my lashes become a bit like "spider lashes" so when I apply I use a clean mascara wand and run through my lashes :) - £3.50
All Over Face Brush
This brush is so frickin soft. I use it to apply my face powder.- £3.50
Perfect Wear Make up Remover
This is an oil based make up remover. Its like the Clinique take the day off makeup remover for lids, lashes & lips, but a WHOLE lot cheaper.I got it on a deal for an INCREDIBLE - £1
Pencil Sharpener - pretty self explanatory haha
£1


Hope you all enjoyed this post :)

Long time no post

Hello my love bugs,

Right its been ages since I have blogged. But I have 2 very good reasons as to why haha. Firstly those of you who follow me on twitter would know that I've was in Egypt, so a week or so before I busy getting things ready packing etc. And then obviously I went on holiday lol.

The second reason is while I was away I caught a really bad stomach bug that brought along some other health issues with it that I'm not gonna go into. I'm only really starting to feel better now and its been like 10 days since it started.

So I have a things to post Avon stuff, frontcover stuff and also pics from my hols.My nail haul will have to take a hiatus cos I did mention on twitter that while waiting for the Gatwick flyer to turn up I broke off all my nails (out of  boredom)

Egypt is amazing (stomach bug and all haha), I suggest if anyone wants to go on holiday Egypt is defo the place to go :)

Also NEVER EVER fly with Easy Jet, they are the WORST people I have ever flown with (I flew with them when I went to Budapest as well). They maybe cheap but they certainly aren't cheerful. They're staff are so condescending and un-helpful. And the organisation of their speedy boarding was an utter joke, that was £115 down the drain.

Anywho, yeah so I shall be putting up some posts very soon so keep a look out.
