Couple of lovely things...


Hey peepers, I'm sorry its been so long I honestly have been up to my eyeballs with so much personal stuff, no excuses ... I'm not going to waste time about explaining my disappearance and just get on with the post ... So finally the sun has come out again over here in the West Midlands > Bingo, I say! 
My boyfriend suprised me with a couple of new goodies today and I have finally got the chance to share with you guys.



I've been craving for a pair of Ray-Bans, real ones of course and I was more tempted after a friend showed me a very awesome website with some great deals and cut prices of extreme goods... secretsales.. So anyway the craving grew bigger when this friend of mine picked some up at the Selfridge's in Birmingham I tried some on and I knew I wanted the frames in a matte black with a thin rim just like the ones below.

I had spotted these (sunglasses worn) bad boys on ASOS when I was unsure of them but would have liked them for T and E (trial and error) as they were inexpensive for a pair of sunglasses that were black and thin rim. Now having them and looking at them I am not 100% on the shape compared to the Ray-bans. I would love to invest in either of these as a treat as they are pricing between £70 and £100 brand new online.

Thank you Mesh for my lovely sunglasses although they seem a big big they're still great and I love them <3 nbsp="" p="">

M.A.C pro conceal and correct palette in Medium

I have been after this product ever since I heard about it but I wasn't going to get it till my current concealer ran out (M.A.C studio finish concealer in NW35). I have so much trouble when it comes to dark eyes, I have been through quite a few concealers and correctors from brands such as Yves Saint Laurent to collection 2000, both high end and drugstore products. I find that the M.A.C concealer is too dark for my skin like a dark orange that doesn't blend well, it does the job to some extent but not a 100% satisfaction. I shall put up a post of a full review on the conceal and correct palette once I have experimented with it.

Hope you are all well
and
enjoying or have enjoyed some sun !

Summers Strappy Sandals

Strappy sandals this springs big thing
*I know I'm a bit late with the sandals* :( *sorry lovelies thought I'd still share my thoughts anyway :) * 

Hi dolls, I was only aware of these when I saw them on a YouTube video and I was hooked at the way they give you such a slimming look especially on the legs even being paired with jeans. Having looked into them more I found that they pair well with most items of clothing such as, jeggings, jeans, skirts, dresses and the list goes on. The strappy sandals have a way of also making any outfit and any feet look feminine and ever so dainty. There is a wide range of strappy sandals some of which may have a single strap, others with two or a block heel rather than a thin heel. The barely strappy sandals is another way to show off some of the great spring nail colours being worn this season. Also with some of the strappy sandals out there are giving it that uniqueness with the two tone colours that mix and match perfectly or just the ones that give it that pop of colour. 

Like I said there's a great range of strappy sandals but for me the basic black is a personal must have. Although I would like to play around with New Looks online exclusive limited colour block ankle strap sandals.

Mum Tulip: I was wrong

*I just wanted to put it out there that now I'm thinking at the fact that these lush wands were 'Mothers Day editions' and they were for me but only because my mother isn't a fan of bubble baths as much as me, so I did get my mother flowers one thing she does love haha just had to get that out there* :) 

Mum Tulip

So can someone give me a smack on the hand... 
AMAZING Lush Mum Tulip Bath Wand 


You know what it must have been the rush of excitement because to be honest even though I did not run the wand under the tap I did however, swirl in the bath tub like the lady had shown me in the store... but again it does say on the website to run it under the tap a few seconds. I was so amazed that I was actually trying to force my mum into having a bubble bath. It was also because of the fact that I did find a few reviews  on these wands that had also said similar things to what I first thought about the wands. So all in all, there amazing!! I'm sorry if I gave anyone the wrong impression but hey it was the truth and to be fair I didn't give up on them haha. 

Next bubble bath I will use the Madame Butterfly as I just wanted to truly enjoy and experience the Mum Tulip Wand. 

So many bubbles, so much colour, an overwhelming smell and still that great soft silky feel on my skin (lasted like 30-45 minutes)

Only downfall was the fact that I can't see myself getting more than 5 uses out of the wand because the wand shown in the picture has been used two times (but the second time I used it I think I got carried away with the excitement of the fact that the wand worked like magic so I kept and kept swirling it around and under the tap :O

Happiness is taking a long, hot bubble bath ...

Got a crush on Lush  
Right to left: Madame Butterfly and Mum Tulip

Whilst visiting my boyfriend at University I decided to go Lush shopping with him because I knew he'd enjoy that as its not as repetitive as clothe's shopping. Bare in mind it was my first time and to be honest with you it wasn't great because I'm one of those people that don't like being bombarded with staff hovering and asking and talking to you whilst you try to enjoy shopping. As much as they are only trying to be nice I know but I just like to shop in peace and if I need help I never hesitate to ask... So anyway the whole time we was in there they literally did not stop talking to us which ruined the first time experience a little but maybe it was because we was like the only customers in there at the time and it was near to closing. I knew I definitely wanted to pick up a wand after missing out on the Christmas Magic wand bubble bar so their new limited editions were the mothers day 'The Mum', 'Mum Tulip' and 'Madame Butterfly' wands. The lady even demonstrated them and I wasn't going to say no but I wasn't keen on the 'Mum' wand so I also wanted to pick up a bath bomb which I couldn't choose between the 'Creamy Candy' and 'Mmmelting Marshmallow Moment' bubbles bar's.

Flush that Lush




It was only till I got home and tried them out that I have never been so disappointed. Honestly I don't know whether it was just me (I think it was me) and the fact that I swished it around in the bath once the water had stopped running but it did absolutely nothing in terms of colour, smell or foam although there was ONE highlight of the whole experience...the rose oils. I could feel the oils on my skin soaking in which was lovely.  

It was odd to think that the overpowering smell you get just it being inside the packaging just didn't come through in the water. I was so gutted after waiting such a long time to buy Lush products and then to wait even longer to bring them home from my boyfriends place. 

After swirling in Mum Tulip as well it did show somewhat colour and a sense of fragrance but it still didn't look like the demonstration shown at the shop. I think the Mmmelting Marshmallow Moment was ruined because I just crumbled it in the bath to save myself having a disappointing bubble bath which just got worse as that didn't work either. (I should have known better as its been said and shown that you should run in directly under the tap whilst running your bath so I won't repurchase the same one but I will get the Creamy Candy Bar this time and hopefully do it right and my bath will be full of lushness! 


"Simply turn on your bath taps and swish it around in the water for a few seconds – or until you’ve got enough bubbles in your tub. Then pop it on the side to use another time - these look particularly nice in a vase on the side. It goes rock hard until you’re ready to use it again – how many baths will you get out of it? Here’s the important part – before you get in, make sure you have a watering can or jug to hand. Then once you’ve finished wallowing in the lovely waters, you can dip your jug into the bath, scoop up some of that nutrient filled water and water all your plants around the house and garden (just remember to put a dressing gown on first if you go outside!)"  Lush.co.uk

Sleek Contour: Brow Kit and Face Form reviews

Hey guys so I'm still on the hunt and desperately looking for an all time favourite eyebrow product. I've never found an eyebrow product that I have loved so much but after watching some videos on YouTube it gave me the push to go and purchase the Sleek Brow Kit (in Dark). So at the moment I'm just sticking to my Avon eyebrow glimmerstick definer. 

I also bought the Sleek Face Form in Medium. I've always used the Sleek Contour Kit, however whenever I seem to go and buy the product it's usually out of stock or the shops never have it in medium when I go. Therefore I was desperate and needed to buy the face form which didn't make much difference considering they just added a bronzer to it and the colours of the highlighter and contour was exactly the same as the Sleek Contour Kit although the only difference was the problem in the price....... 


Erm hello £9.99... really, well its damn right good my other half has his NUS discount card, buzzing haha. 


Onto the reviews...The brow kit for me isn't worth the hype its just personal use and opinion, I'd rather stick with the use of an eyebrow pencil, because I find the texture in the Sleek kit very hard to apply and set on my eyebrows even with the additional powder to set it with. For me it just looks clumpy and very tacky.  I have used it a few times when I've had more time to do my make up but then regretted it because it just does not look natural what so ever! Eek :( 

The face form on the other hand is (for me) brilliant because it does the job perfectly and I the Contour kit lasted me forever. But for a drug store product it doesn't seem to last all day even with my primer or M.A.C Fix+  but I've repurchased it and I still would. Its mainly the consistency of the highlighter that bugs me because I like to have a glow to my face even on a natural basis because I was using the M.A.C Cream Colour Base in Hush (Frost) but I only like to use this when I'm dolling my self up a bit more than my everyday look. So for an everyday product the face form works wonders but not an all day lasting product and still expensive for drug store.

Would love to trial and error some highlighters... IDEAS PLEASE? 

Hope your all well

Enjoy The Easter Holidays
