My new years resolutions!

Hey guys,

I dont know why i didnt post this a week ago but its been hectic here over new year!.

I wanted to share my new years resolutions as ive enjoyed reading everyone elses, so i will get started.

1. Firstly about 99% of people have the same resolution (or there abouts) Is to loose weight!, I have put on so much weight this year it is almost unreal! I dont feel right in alot of my clothes right now and feel my health is starting to suffer!, also i put on weight on my face first, i have a big fat puffy face right now! :(. So the healthy eating and the workouts have begun ive got alot of weight to shift and im not planing on giving up and of my lovely goodies just cutting down so im working extra hard!.

2. Take care of my skin!, I have resonably good skin but i do not take good enough care of it!, Late at night i will just use a facial wipe to get my make-up off and slap some moisturiser on before i fall asleep!. I know i need to wash my face but after a very long day i just want to fall asleep, as a result i break out because i still have make up on my face. Not this year!, Im going to do my routine every evening, no matter how tierd i am!

3. Is to move house!, Which has already been taken care of! Ive been very pro active in looking for a house, ive found the perfect place and we are moving in at the end of the month, so i can really check this one of the list already!.

4. This last one isnt so much a Resolution because it is very much out of my control but its a big choice we have made in our life and there is no going back. Ive known for a while (most of my life acctually) that i wanted a family and 2012 IS the year it will happen for us!. If we do manage to get pregnant i will be starting a pregnancy blog.

That is if for my resolutions for 2012 i think they are achievable and im going to be working my hardest to make them all a reality.

Green Glittery NOTD - W7 Glittler polish

Hey guys!.

So christmas i over, We have eaten a years fill of Turkey and chocolate the tree will soon becoming down and we will be returning to normal life!. So ive tried to hand on to a little bit of that christmas feeling with my nail polish.

Im a great fan of the W7 nail polishes and they are cheap! (Around £1.99)

This color is number 73 Cosmic Green

And this is with ONE yet ONE coat!

This is a fantastic polish but as will all glitter polish it is a nightmare to get off but with a bit of elbow grease and some good cotton pads it will all come off without too much hasstle.

I have swatches of all the W7 glitters coming up soon!

Keep reading

Green Festive eye make-up tutorial

Hey guys!.

So im here with my first make-up tutorial type post! I hope you like this!.

This is what i created, this was inspired by Pixiwoo on youtube.

I only used 1 eye shadow to do this,

I patted it all over my lid so if formed a nice circular shape, I used a flat shadow brush to do that.

Then i took a large fluffy blending brush and blended away!

The green i used for this was in the 88 colour palette and it is the darkest green in the palette.

I then lined the lower lash line with the same green shadow using the flat shadow brush i used at the begining, then i used a smaller blending brush to blended that out.

I then softly lined my water line with a black khol pencil mine was from Avon.

I curled my lashes,

Then applied my mascara mine was the Nouveau Lashes Noir Mascara, which i got in the glossy box.

Then All i did was take a tiny bit of cream eye make up remover (i used Simple's) on a cotton bud and cleaned around the bottom of my eye.

Thats it!.

Super simple i can't wait to try this out with a deep purple color!

Thank you for reading!

How to make a shimmer lipstick matte

Hey Guys!

I dont know about you but i love the Matte velvet lip look for the festive season, but i don't want to go and buy a whole load of new lipsticks that im only going to use a few days of the year, also more matte lipsticks can be drying and especially now its cold we really don't need anything thats going to dry our lips out anymore.

So wouldnt it be great if you could make your favourite shimmer lipstick into a matte!, Well acctually you can!. I only heard this a few days ago and was amazed!. My lipstick lasted all day and didnt rub of while eating or drinking!

So here it is!

Yep HD powder ive only got ELF HD powder but any other would do!

Im not going to do lip swatches because im having a break out around my chin :( but i do have some hand swatches for you

These are both Collection 2000, the one on the left is Plum Perfection and the one on the right it Ruby Red. (These are only £2.99)

Here is the lipsticks straight out the tube

Just lightly pat a little bit of the HD powder over the top

and you will get .........

It lasted me all day and didnt dry out my lips!.

Let me know if you try it!

Revlon Nail polish .... For £1!

Hey guys,

I dont know how many people know about this or if im the last person on the band wagon!

I went into the pound shop (Pound Land) and spotted nail polishes! I couldnt help taking a look, to my amazment they were Revlon! They had a few colors too, I only got one because i had masses of shopping from other shops in my hands. I got Emerald City which is a Matte finish.

It was pretty hard to get good pictures of the color without natural lighting but i just couldnt wait to blog about this!

I think you would agree

£1 + Revlon = Bargin!!

NOTD, Deborah Lippmann Razzle Dazzle.

Hey Guys.

Just a quick NOTD post for you

I didnt realise how messy they looked untill i was trying to get a upclose picture of them. Also this is really hard to get a picture of what the polish acctually looks like!, this really doesnt do it justice!.

This is Deborah Lippmann Nail polish that came in Decembers Glossybox, I am really pleased with the color and it goes on well although i did put two coats on. It looks redder in person but i think you can just make out on the picture the defferent color glitters in there.

I must say though, im not astonished by this!, It is lovely and i adore the color but after using the W7 glitter polishes this one isnt as good as the W7 ones, you can get W7 polishes at budget beauty shops for around £1.99 if not even cheaper, Ive enjoyed this but i will not be paying £16.99 for one.

Thank you for reading and stay tuned for a review / swatches of the W7 polishes i mentioned above.

December Christmas Glossybox!

Hey Guys!

First off i want to just put a little in about Glossy Box customer service, My Glossy Box arrived looking like this.

Which was clearly due to the postal service and not to Glossy Box them selves, So i emailed them with the picture that is above and by the afternoon they had emailed my back with an apology and dispatched me out another box!. To tell you the truth i was just hoping for another nail polish but i was super pleased that they shipped me out a complete new box!. In my first box i got, Rituals Foaming shower gel, Cargo Lip Gloss, Nouveau noir Mascara, First Aid facial cleanser and the Deborah Lippmann, nail polish.

So two days later i got another box in the post! I was SUPER excited that it didnt have nail polish over everything!

Deborah Lippmann, Razzle Dazzle Nail polish!

I Love this color, its so christmasy this will be a part of my christmas day outfit, im not going to say much about this because im going to do a NOTD soon.

RRP: £16.00

Blink & Go - Eyeshadow and Blush Palette

I was exstatic to get this! It is so lovely, the packaging is awsome. This is a brand ive never heard of but im going to take a look at there range as they have offerd a 25% of code (Glossy4) www.blinkandgo.co.uk.

RRP: £14.99

These swatches were with out primer and with just one touch of the shadow.

The Blushes are lovely sheer colors but they are totally buildable.

Rituals - Foaming Shower Gel in Yogi Flow.

Ive never heard of Rituals before but i can say i love the smell & consept of this!, It has almost a shaving foam texture, it comes out like a gel and turns unto a foam! A little of this goes along way!.

RRP: £6.50

Cargo Cosmetics - Classic Lip Gloss.

This is a great Shade, subtle hint of pink shimmer and its not sticky!

RRP: £10

I don't have the last thing that came in my glossy box to show you (Bionova Eye Wrinkle Treatment) because my mother was with me when i opened the box and immediatly jumped at this, so i gave it to her as i really dont have much use for it .... Being 21 and all.
