I'm lusting after you :-)

Ha I thought that'd drag you in lol.

Hi beauties :-) I hope you're all ok.

I've been seeing a lot of these posts where people talk about the stuff they lusting after weather it be shoes, makeup, clothes, you know the list goes on.

So I got to thinking I'd do one. I'm lusting after so much right now and it's bad I need to stop because some of it isn't cheap. But anyhoodles, I'll show you the things I want, and list why I'm wanting them so badly. Then you can tell me what you're frothing at the mouth over :-)

Sleek Palette - I am obsessed with Sleek Makeup, it's one thing us brits do well. However, I've not been so bothered about the last couple of palettes. But I've seen a couple of up and coming palettes from google and peoples blogs and I am wanted them :-)

Dior Rose Diamond - I saw it in a YouTube video and I fell in love with it, so I went to have a look on the Debenhams I took one look at the price and closed the page, It's gorgeous but I really don't think I could live with spending £30 on one makeup related thing even if it is seriously gorgeous. But what the hell, I am allowed to lust over it aren't I?

MAC Vegas Volt - I will NOT  be lusting over his lovely anymore because I am buying it me and the lovely AllThingsRachy have sharing the love for it and I think even though it's orange I really need it.

The forever 21 shoes - I can't explain these, it's summer and I'm really into floral print right now.

MAC Concealer - I've been sleeping so bad recently and my under eye circles have been getting worse and worse, so I'm in need of something seriously good to get them sorted and I've heard a ton of hype about this concealer.

Wet N Wild Blue had me at hello - I've got the other two palettes and I over looked this one, but in a makeup tutorial I watched the lady used it and it looked sooo pretty so I'm going to have to try and get it from eBay.

OK so I forgot another lust which I can't get until June

GlossyBox Uk -This is what I want the most, £10 for all this stuff and it's highend too I've always wanted to try Nars :-)

So there we have my lusts. What are you wanting?

Have a great day :-)

Peace, love and cupcakes :-)

My Fav brushes

Hello gorgeous :-)

I hope wherever you are it's better weather for you than it is here in South Yorkshire. It's soo cold, windy and the sky is black with promises of very violent rain storms (I sound like a weather woman). I hope you all had a nice weekend, it seems to be Monday too soon for my liking.

Anyway enough of the chit chat.

I've been messing around with my gel liner recently, they seem to be the other thing I buy loads of. I like gel liner the best because you get to choose your favourite brush. I find it easier to apply with an angled brush than I do with with a liquid liner brush and all the other brushes you get with liners.

L to R - Ecotools, Mac 266 and Sonia Kashuk

I'm going to say outright, the Ecotools brush is by far my fav. It's a little bit more stiffer than the others, which makes for a precise line. Bare in mind guys, I'm still only a beginner with the winged eyeliner technique. I keep going upstairs just before I take a shower to keep practicing it and I feel like I'm getting better, or maybe I'm actually not and it's the brush I use. Hmm *sits and ponders for a while* ok maybe it's both lol. I was messing around on Friday night doing my wing and I sent a picture of it to Carah, because I trust her judgement and she told me it looked super nice and clean.

Please forgive the picture quality of my eye, the lighting in my room is horrible and it was already getting dark. But this is how nicely the brush works.

The 266 brush, I love this brush and yes it's hard for me to put another brush before it. But it's a little bit softer and even though I like the line I get from it I'd still prefer something that doesn't have as much give.

Last but very not least is my Sonia Kashuk brush. I really like this brush, the problem I have with it, however, after the first use and the first wash it sort of loses it's shape and you get strands of the brush that are just sticking out which isn't good. This brush is good for people who are starting out with makeup and need to be able to see what they're doing in the mirror, I love the idea of the bent top because you have so much freedom to be able to see in the mirror. I'm just not sure how many times I'll be able to use the brush.

I think we as girls spend so much money on the 'perfect tools' because when we do our makeup we want to look perfect otherwise what is the point? I mean I have proof that you don't need to spend £16 (I think that's how much it cost for the 266 brush) on a brush when you can go to the drugstore and test out four brushes for £16. I think I've found the one, I just ordered another one from eBay for my makeup bag.

What's your favourite eyeliner brush or any brush?

My MAC lipsticks

Hi lovelies.

I hope everyone is enjoying the sun :-)

Today as my title states, I'm going to share my MAC lipsticks, I don't have a ton of them so I thought this would be an easy post to write. I have "Back to MAC'd" for most of them. I still have a couple I'd like to buy like Vegas volt I am in LUST for that lipstick :-)

I'm not putting them in any particular order, but, Russian Red is my favourite so that's going first!!

L to R - Russian Red, Creme Cup, Lady Danger, Chatter Box, Angel, Craving and Viva Glam Cyndi.

I love all of these colours, that's why I don't have many because they're either to colour and clash with rosey cheeks, or too nude and just make me look dead. Russian Red makes me so happy, you know as a woman you spend FOREVER searching for that gorgeous shade of red that you want to have for the rest of your life and you will keep repurchasing? well I love it that much that I want to buy a back up. It's just perfect, when I tried it on it made my teeth look whiter, my lips look that 'perfect' shade of red, must stop or I honestly will keep going on about it, lol if I could marry this lipstick I actually would :-S. Haha.

Enough about RR and on to the others, I was really shocked when I had bought the others because I thought 'Joy they'll not suit you, you'll look like a dark haired version of Barbie' but I was shocked and happy that that they actually do. They're all just really nice colours that I guess I could find dupes for if I tried but when I take my empty stuff back to mac, whats the point in trying to find a dupe when I can have the real thing?!?

I got MAC impassioned when I back to mac'd a few months ago but I had to sell it because it just did not go with my skin tone, however, if I was going to Reflex (an 80s club) and dressed up as an 80's bird this would have been the perfect lipstick for me. I also bought a lipstick from the MAC collection, I forget what it was called but the lipstick was just a weird shade and that made me look dead.

So dolls what are you favourites? feel free to share so I'll know for next time I'm flush I can buy some :-)

Tattoos and Piercings

Hello all you lovely people, so long time and no post so I thought instead of doing a makeup related post, I'd talk about my tattoos and piercings and I'm hoping you gorgeous  bunch can share your tattoos and piercings. I'm just going to jump right into it :-)

The first piercings I got when I was a little child (I think about 5?? hmm it was that long ago I don't really remember, I just remember them being there for as long as I can remember lol try saying that twice) they were just my lobe. I don't really remember if they hurt because it was that long ago. I keep the first ones empty most of the time so I can wear dangly ones on special occasions :-)

Then I got the next two done, the gun they used did stun me but it was a huge amount of pain.

I have the top of my ear pierced too, but I haven't worn an earring in there for at least 5 years, I just got bored with it and it heeled.I made the huge mistake of having this pierced and going to alton towers and I smacked my head on a ride :'( NOT good

 

When I was 16 I wanted my belly button pierced but my mother was having NONE of it, my dad didn't mind but she wouldn't allow me. But when I was 17 my boyfriend at the time took me to the market to get it done for my birthday treat, I backed out a few times but then one day I just thought I need to get it done and stop being a wuss so I did.

The picture is what it looked like when I had it pierced, I don't get it out very often, I don't like showing skin so I'm thinking of taking it out.

The pain wasn't too bad, I'd say 3 out of 5, it was after that was horrible I couldn't sit down properly for a week but after it was fine, it heeled nicely and I loved it. 

In 2005, I saw someone with their tongue pierced and it looked so cool so after careful consideration I went back to the market but she wouldn't pierce it for me because I have short tongue and a bit of a lisp, I guess I was kind of glad because I was nervous. However, I'm the kind of person who once want something I don't stop thinking about it until I've got it done. I embarked on a tattoo studio hunt who would pierce it and they did it for me.

I'm not going to lie, yes it hurt it's your tongue but it didn't hurt that much, I lisped a little bit more but that wasn't a problem. I was told not drink alcohol, erm I was a 19 year old student on a Friday night and you were not stopping me drinking lol. I even had a cheeky snog just to make sure everything was working and the guy loved it lol

I got my newest two a couple of weeks ago, I'd been wanting something my tongue piercing but just was very unsure on what I wanted.

I googled piercings and saw these two piercings and decided I wanted them (the top one is called the Rook and the other one is called Tragus) These did hurt, I'd say that on a scale of 1-5 they were definitely a four. I had them done at the same time so I think that's what made the pain worse, he was very good and hurried like I asked of him. For the next couple of days they were sore and I couldn't sleep on that side but it soon settled and it's fine now. I love them

Now onto my tattoos :-)

I got these three stars shortly after my dad died, the blue star was for him, the pink one was for me (Obviously) and the orange one was for Scott.

They have faded quite a bit which I am very unhappy with. But I guess I still like them.

I was searching for tattoos to get on my other wrist because I'd become hooked and these two hearts, I was so in love with Scott at that point and I thought it would be nice to get these. I envisaged they meant our hearts entwined forever and nothing could break us up.

I'm bored with this one now, the black has faded and it bugs me. I got it then on a spur of the moment and I wish I'd really though it through now.

These two tattoos did hurt a little bit because well they're on my wrist close to veins, I was scared the needles would pop but it was fine. The pain for them both was about 2.5 out of 5

My advice is if you want a piercing or a tattoo, go onto YouTube and watch videos on them. I know not everyone is the same, what might hurt me might not hurt you and same for me. If you want it that badly though, why not go ahead with it? You'll never know if hurts or not if you don't try it.

I have a couple of tattoos and piercings that I want next so thought maybe I'd show them and you could your ideas with me :-)

Do you lovely people have any tattoo and piercings ideas you want to share?

I hope you enjoy my post :-)

Healthy eating, with Graze.com

So a few months ago I found a fantastic company called graze they send great and healthy snacks in boxes through the post. They offer some great choices for a great price, these boxes are awesome because you can have sent anywhere. You can get them sent to work if you’re an office these are perfect because I (and I’m sure lots of you are guilty of it) snack, I get pretty bored and hungry and find myself reaching for chocolates or biccies. People seem to take loads of yummy foods into offices and it’s bad because I’m sat there for 7 hours a day snacking, I do drink A LOT of water so in some respects I balance the junk with healthy (This is what I tell myself anyway) lol.

I like graze because the staff are very helpful, I’d sent them a question and within 10 minutes they came back to me and because they thought I was complaining they offered me a 20% discount. They are chatty and really nice I cannot recommend them enough.

The things I love about graze:

You can try things you never thought you would for £2.99 inc postage and package, you get a good balance of things. You can have olives, Yes I realise olives aren’t so good for you but it’s part of a balanced diet so indulge a little. You can have nuts, dried fruit crackers. It’s endless.

I like that you go onto the site and say what you like and what you don’t then they don’t send them.

This is a like as well as a dislike, you don’t choose what you get which is good sometimes because when you get your email telling you to ‘rate or slate’ the box it’s a surprise which is nice.

I like the packaging, everything they use is recycled.

I like the fact that you get quite a lot of the product in each individual punet.

I’m happy that they send you well balanced products that will fill you up.

(Excuse this picture, My camera broke so I took it with my iPhone and the iPhone camera is a big old pile of rubbish) 

With every box you receive you they send you a personalised card with your name on it and they give you information about the box you have received, which tells you the fat content how many calories are in each product etc. It’s such a nice touch that they send these cards, on the card they also send you a code so you can pass it onto friends and they can try a free box. You aren’t tied to it, you could try the free one and close your account, so you don’t have a set amount of boxes you can get. 

If you are interested in trying one my code is:

MM26L8G3, all you do is put this code into the checkout and you can get a free box and your next box will be half price. The site is http://www.graze.com/

I can go on for hours about the things I like so lets move onto the The things I don’t like

The only major drawback (to some this a put off) you don’t choose what you get, You can’t say I’ll have a punet of olives, a punet of cashew nuts etc they choose it for you.

This is my only dislike, as you can see the good points outweigh the bad. I honestly cannot give them enough hype. I will continue to use these for as long as they’re in business they’re just that good.

I hope you like this short review and I hope you try them out because you honestly do not know what you’re missing.

Happy weekend
