Christmas soon :)

On a more happy note, there's only 25 days until Christmas, now I'm not normally one to get that excited about Christmas, i enjoy the holiday itself, but not so much presents and etc. anymore. However this year I've been making a list of things i might like, (which I'll ask my boyfriend and parents for). And at the top of my list is indefinitely the sigma brush roll set, atm i just have a mish mash of miscellaneous brushes, so i want a nice professional looking set, so that's that. But then i honestly cannot think of anything else to add to it besides vouchers or money.

So far my sister's got me this cute taupey beige scarf, you know one of those thick knitted ones, i love it, it's so warm for winter! And she's also got me a MAC voucher which i will enjoy spending ;)

I was thinking about putting a MAC eye shadow palette on my list but i have no idea which one to choose, what do you guys think? Has anyone got any of the palettes? Here's pictures and information about the palettes I'm interested in...



So leave a comment below about which one you think, or any other ideas, speak to you all soon, bye x

:(

This is juts a quick post because as of late i haven't really made any posts what-so-ever and that's because not many people seem to be following me, so I'd be ever so grateful if any one spreads the word... :) but i will bear in mind that my blog had not been up very long at all.

But anyway I'm going to carry on posting one or two times a week, if any one has a request for anything then just comment below.

I'll talk to you guys soon, bye x

8 Most Worn Things

I've been on a bit of a blogging spree lately lol, this is my third in two days. Anyway, seeing as everyone is doing the 8 Most Worn Tag i thought I'd join in :)

1) most worn lipstick/ lip gloss - definitely my Clinique Delovely

2) most worn earrings - i have this little pack of different coloured studs that i change up every day, i think they were about £2 from good old primark and there are about 8 sets in a pack

3) most worn shirt - i don't really have one, but a new top I'm in love with lately is this pink striped shirt form topshop that i got on sale

4) most worn nail polish - i don't wear polish on my finger nails other than clear but on my toe nails I'm wearing OPI paint my moji toes red (i think)

5) most worn shoes - my new riding boots from Faith, I'm in love with them!!

6) most worn hair product - either Aussie heat protector or the Tara Smith shine spray

7) most worn perfume - as of late, Versace christal noir (great deep scent for a cosy winter)

8) most worn handbag/ purse - a purple quilted bag from Dorothy Perkins

So that's it, short and sweet, hope this gave you a few ideas of something new to try x

PRODUCT RAVE!

Hey guys, this is a bit different as it's not skin care but i couldn't wait to tell you... So for probably about a month now i have been using the Schwarzkopf Bonacure Hair Therapy Repair Rescue collection (that's a mouthful). This includes: shampoo, conditioner, repair treatment, split end serum, and smooth express. I'm not going to go into what they claim to do as you can google it and find out if you're interested, however I'm going to share with you my wonderful experience :)


So the main reason i purchased these was because of the transition of going from blond to brunette, and also the constant usage of my ghd's has pretty much ruined my hair. BUT and this is a big but, this hair care range has transformed my hair completely! When i heard about a split end prevent-er i laughed, i thought nothing could mend or prevent split ends but my god i was wrong. Just before i purchased the collection i had my hair cut and i have not needed it since and it has been over a month, i have no split ends, my hair feels so much stronger, and healthier, it's shinier and just all-round great. Lately i have had so many compliments on my hair it's unbelievable.

I will admit though, i have tried to use the beloved ghd's less, and i do use heat protection spray but other than that it's down to Schwarzkopf, so a massive thumbs up... Now, for repurchasing. I don't think i will repurchase the smooth express as it's just a convenience thing, all it is, is a concentrated conditioner for when you do not have time to use the treatment which i do have time for on a Sunday evening so, other than that i will be repurchasing everything time and time again.

If anyone else has used this please let me know, I'd love to hear how you got on :) Btw this is the eBay seller i bought all of the collection off, and they gave great service and an even better price: http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/The-Hair-and-Beauty-People__W0QQ_armrsZ1

Make up

Now you all know what i do to keep my skin clean and clear, i thought I'd share my favourite make up items to cover my horrid acne scars with you...

First up is my all time fave (drum roll)........
MAC Studio Fix Fluid! It gives medium coverage that's semi matte, so you don't look like you're wearing a mask yet it covers my scars pretty well. As of now i do not use a concealer, but when i need to i use the MAC Studio Stick concealer, which i now see has been discontinued lol...

My favourite mascara is MAC Plush Lash, but atm i have been trying the Max Factor False Lash Effect but I'm not convicted i still adore the Plush Lash!

On the lips, i love tinted lip balms but lately in a clinique gift set i got a Butter Shine Lipstick (i think that's what they're called) in Delovely and it's a gorgeous shade of my natural lip colour just slightly deeper, and it's so creamy and buttery, i will def be repurchasing this baby! Great for the winter months might i add as it keeps them so moisturised!
And that's it really, in summer i love bronzer but i don't wear it so much in winter so didn't think it was worth a mention :) hope this has helped someone somewhere x
