Top 5 favourite Lipsticks

Waddup!

I feel like i've not done anything like this before and now that i'm at home bored watching re-run after re-run of Big Bang Theory i thought i may as well give it a bash! No harm no foul right? I think that's the right use of the phrase, maybe not...don't care! Before i start i will point out that with lipstick i feel like you should "go hard or go home" so if you're looking for the perfect nude colour, I'm afraid this isn't the blog for you. I'm always always partial to a bold lip and if i'm feeling like baring all then i reach for the lip balm/lip gloss over a nude lipstick every time.
So without further ado here are my top 5 lipsticks.

1) Rimmel Kate Moss In the shade 22

I feel like this is the perfect red colour, it's the show stopping sort of red you hear people go on about! I personally think Rimmel is the best drugstore beauty brand for lipstick just because of the range they have as well but the texture to these lipsticks are amazing and they are long lasting as well which is great! I use this most often for nights out because i feel like it adds a bit of "zing" to any make-up look.

2) Maybelline Colour Sensational in the shade 912 Electric Orange 

Now i do love this range that maybelline brought out mainly for the colours they produce within it! They have some fab colours that are so completely out there that i couldn't help myself but this colour (and another one from this range) managed to make my top 5! They tend not to last too long on the lips however so i do find myself topping up quite a lot, especially if i wear them to the pub etc because i'm drinking and it just goes everywhere but this colour is a personal favourite of mine.

3) Avon in Matte Crimson 

now i have a lorra lorra love for this entire product! This is the only lipstick in this range i have ever bought so i can't speak for the entire range but i can speak solely for this colour! If i had to recommend any of these products, just one, to any lipstick lover this would be that product! I can't do it justice in words but the consistency, the colour and the wear are all done to perfection! This lipstick is the one i'm finding the most use for this time of year because of it's autumnal berry like colour, the only thing i will say however is the name? I wouldn't put this colour anywhere near the crimson category and i would push it more towards the purple.

4) Maybelline Colour Sensational in the shade 910 Shocking Coral

Again, i said pretty much all i had to say about this brand above so if you don't remember just have re-read and then report back. This colour is pretty much the brightest pink i've ever come across in lipstick form so ordinarily i had to have it! I haven't been wearing this much recently because it has "summer colour" written all over it (not actually written on it) but in summer this was pretty much my staple piece for nights out and i also got compliments when i wore it in the day as well

 

5) Avon Ultra Colour Lip Crayon in carefree coral 

This has actually been a very recent purchase and i know not exactly a lipstick blah blah blah but it's made the cut non the less! My favourite thing about this product is how easy it is to wear, i find myself reaching for this in the day time opposed to the night and i have worn this to uni for the past week. It slides on and it stays on for a while, i also find that it smudges very beautifully so what i tend to do is pop it on then blend it across my lips for a more subtle effect! LOVE.

There you have it my dears my top 5 favourite lipsticks for the time being! Thanks for reading

Is this real ?

Yesterday my world was shook! 

I recieved a phonecall that I wish I never had to answer! My friend had died! I'm not going into detail about how or who or why because I don't think that is my right to tell anyone but I can tell you that the world is not as safe for me anymore, not as safe and certainly not as Bright! 

I'm doing this blog post to tell people that what you do in your life matters! I realised that this persons death affected so many people, people I'm close to and people I've never even met and during this tragedy I couldn't help but feel slightly proud of her! I was proud that she has affected this many peoples life's in such positive way in such a short time! 

People are using her Facebook wall for different reasons, to stay connected to her, a way to grieve or even just to forget about it all! Me ? I wrote on it. I wasn't sure I ever could but I was reading everyone's heartfelt and amazing messages To her and it comforted me, it made me feel less alone and if leaving one message to her, a short but beautiful message makes another person, even just one person feel less alone! Then it's worth it 

If this has taught me anything, it taught me that everything you do! Everything you say and the way treat people, it all matters! Don't forget that.

Life Saver

Hi bloglings

So i have a major love hate relationship with nail varnish! Anyone that knows me knows i'm too impatient to wait for my nail varnish to dry fully so at least 3 of my nails are always smudged and i'm not sure what i do but i must dig in my sleep or something because it chips within the first 24 hours without fail! 

It's not that i dislike doing my nails, in fact i love doing my nails but the waiting, ergh! so someone recommended seche vete (that's most likely not how you spell it) but for £8.99 i was wondering was it really worth it ? i voted against buying it because my bank balance just wouldn't accept that at the time. On payday i went back and as i was buying it, the woman in boots said "have you tried the Sally Hansen Insta Dri"! 

These words have been a lifesaver! 

This is the best thing i have bought! It does the exact same job and the seche vete but for £3 cheaper! All you have to do is apply 2 coats of your favourite nail varnish (it doesn't have to be your favourite, but you'll love it even more if it is) then apply a coat of the Insta Dri and like 30 seconds later your nails are dry to touch and won't chip! After 2 days i applied another coat to the unchipped nail varnish and a week later it is still in perfect condition! 

So Thankyou Sally you have made doing my nails a whole lot more fun!

Bunny Rabbit

Howdy team

so as some of you may be aware i work part-time in a pet shop! It's a pretty large chain of pet shops and i must say it does have some perks. However don't think i just sit and play with cuddly little animals all day no no no! you have to take into consideration the cleaning, constant bites and stupid things people say to me.

Customer : Is This hedgehog food
Me: Yes, yes it is
Customer: Made from real hedgehogs ?
Me: hahaa no, good one.
Customer: I don't want it then *walks out of the shop*

True story (insert picture of Barney)

so yes downsides aside it's pretty kick ass and recently i adopted a bunny rabbit!!!
She is called Betty and she is a down right standard babe! She is brown coloured and one ear up one ear down...stereotypical rabbit to say the least but she's my stereotypical ball of fur and i love her to bits so back off all you bunny haters.

I do have pictures of her but yet again i'm in the library so i havent got my phone lead and i should be doing work but no no instead i'm blogging my life stories. Best get back to it

Aug-September Favourites

Hola kiddies

guess what? I have finally sat down and flushed out all the excess bullshit in the library (yes the library, my WIFI is not connected so i'm doing this for you mucky lot) and....i have decided to do my favourites blog! I'm not sure when my last favourites was or why it takes me so long to do these so it's more of a favourites since my last favourites blog rather than a monthly favourites! Does that make sense? I don't know. Fuck it!

Ok...Where to start....

Make-up wise i've been using the same products quite a bit recently simply because i have spent all my money on room supplies and such fourth so i haven't really had a lot of spare cash to spend on products however i've had my eye on a few things so i'm guessing after payday ill put up a blog of what i bought and what i thought of the things i bought (poet, didn't know it) saying that i LOVE my new Bourjous Paris Delice de Soleil Bronzing Powder. I meantioned this is a previous blog "New Purchases" and can honestly say this was my favourite product i bought that day. I use this bronzer every day and every night out without fail, its perfect for contouring my cheek bones and it gives me a bit of a bronzed glow without it turning too orange or too powdery either. I have used it everyday since i got it and i haven't even touched the bottom yet so i would 100% reccomend this product to everyone and the mirror is just insanly useful for train journies and even in lectures. For £8.99 it's a complete bargain and just go out and buy it and see. It does come with a brush however i tend not to use the brush as i don't rave about the shape of it but it's a perfect bronzer in my opinion and the smell is just mm mm mm.



Another thing i love using at the moment is the Dior facial cleanser...now i understand that this product isn't in anyones price range and students are probably reading this going "hell no" or skipping this part as soon as they read the word Dior but it is an absolute god send! I got it on my travels, i actually hadn't starting traveling yet and picked it up at Paris Airport thinking it would be nice for on the plane and it has become a sort of holy grail skin care product if you will. The packaging is beautiful and the smell is divine too! I can't exactly remember the price of this and i bought in Euros to but it was rather expensive i will say that! It's a creamy texture and it does actually leave a lot of excess which is the only negative thing i have to mention. I use one pump every time and i then wipe the excess of with a cotton pad. I'm half way through the bottle and using it daily so for 4 months that's a pretty good going.



The body product i have been loving this month is the Garnier Body Tonic Firming Nourishing Milk (bit of a mouth full i'll admit)! Since my tan is fading and i'm doing everything possible in my power to prevent or slow this process down at least i have been moisturising the hell out of my skin and when my previous one ran out i picked this up. It has green tea extracts and caffeine blended into it in order to make your skin firmer and regain some elasticity...as i'm not 100 i'm not having issues with saggy skin but it did make my skin feel and look better after about a week of using this. The thing i really really like about this product is that is absorbs so fast and you don't have any of the wet slippery feeling you get afterwards with some other products, this basically just sinks into the skin straight away.




Finally a lip balm...of course! Burts Bees! I got these in America and they are divine. I tried pretty much all the lip balms from Burt's bees and they all do the same job in a terrific way and the other day i was walking around Holland and Barrats and found a whole section of Burt's Bees i didn't even know existed in the UK so i topped up and bought a few more there. They are nourishing and some have subtle colouring however they only really last on your lips for about 10-15 maximum before you feel like you need to top up but they do leave your lips feeling extra soft.



They are all my beauty/body favourite...not that many i know but give a kid a break i've been busy what with catching up with old friends to saying bye to those going to uni/going to uni myself.
I promise from now on i'll be firing blogs out like it's my fucking job

peace and love home birds
