Honeymania Range The Body Shop

October 5, 2013

After seeing this pop up and becoming ever more envious when beauty bloggers from around the UK were posting pictures of their new hoard, I couldn’t wait any longer and had to grab the Shower Gel, Body Butter and Body Scrub. Being a bit of  Body Shop fanatic, I wasn’t overly worried about the products being great, but I was in two minds about what the fragrance would be like – after all – honey is a bit of a strange…

The Body Shop Vitamin E Skincare Range Part 2

October 5, 2013

Here is Part 2 of my Vitamin E blog. From left to right: Moisture Cream, Illuminating Moisture Cream, Intense Moisture Cream, Nourishing Night Cream Moisture Cream: This was the first Vitamin E moisturiser I bought. It’s light weight, gives enough hydration to last the day and is wonderful for mixing with foundations. I absolutely loved the texture of this and how my skin felt when I used it for the first time, I blame my Vitamin E devotion on this…

I listened to Carcass’ new album, and I liked it – how elitism should work

October 3, 2013

In my eyes, there are two types of elitists when it comes to metal. First up there’s the ones who, no matter how much jazz they listen to, will always f*****g love metal. They would -die- for metal, and are the truest of the true. They understand the concept of wearing a different band hoodie to the t-shirt they’re wearing and would never wear the t-shirt of the band they are going to see. They are open to new bands…

Almost-free bargain eye-shadow storage

October 1, 2013

  I’m feeling very pleased with myself right now. I’ve spent a fortune on pots and drawers and organizers and dressing tables and all sorts of things to try and keep my large make-up collection easy to navigate, but one thing always seems to be all over the place and that is my single eye-shadows. I have three drawers worth of theses and sadly they are mostly neglected in favour of palettes as they are a mess! The answer to…

Primark “Rock Chic” Accessory Haul!

September 30, 2013

I’d actually only planned on popping in to pick up some £5 fake uggs to laze about in, but I couldn’t help a tiny little look at the other bargains on offer! Although I frown in despair when I see a fashionista sporting a bullet belt or a trvegrym band shirt that they’ve never heard of, I do love being able to pick up “alternative” accessories at high street prices! Okay so I only really wanted the black and silver…

Facemask Friday – Superfruits Exfoliating Mask

September 27, 2013

  We all love a multi-tasker right? Well this facemask is something I’ve never come across before, but when you think about it it just makes perfect sense! The mask contains ground up strawberry seeds so as you apply it you have a built in exfoliator! The scent of this alone is worth raving on about, a mix of strawberry, blueberry, cranberry and raspberry that doesn’t feel synthetic and isn’t too overpowering once it’s on your face. It dried in…

O.P.I Tiny Treats

September 26, 2013

It took me a while to get into O.P.I. As a lover of a bargain I always thought the RRP of £13.95 for a single polish was a bit much, but after dipping my toe(nails!) into the range I’ve now found myself a bit of an addict and the polishes worth every penny! My latest purchase was this adorable Tiny Treats set containing mini 3.75ml ChipSkip, Nail Envy Natural Nail Strengthener and RapiDry Top Coat, a 30ml Expert Touch Lacquer Remover and…

A mini haul and some unsuccessful shopping!

September 23, 2013

I had to pop to my local shopping mall today to pick up a birthday card and present for my sister and though I’m trying to save money (and thus stop buying lots of make-up!) I promised myself one treat. I headed straight for Sally and peered helplessly at the O.P.I stand till a clerk came to ask if I needed help. Seems this was due on today’s delivery but she “wouldn’t know till she had sorted it all, so…
