Also, hello to my new subscribers! I can't believe I've hit the 60 followers mark! Thanks :)

Today I have another review for you, as I promised to let you all know my thoughts on Garnier's BB cream! The one I own is the original one, as I know they recently brought out a BB cream specifically targeted at oily/combination skin for the same price. The product's full name is 'Miracle Skin Perfector Daily All-In-One Blemish Balm Cream', which is a bit of a mouthful so I will just refer to it as BB cream! I have it in the shade 'light/clair' but it also comes in a medium shade.

I have a bit of a collective haul for you today, as I went shopping with my best friends last weekend and I also bought two make-up bits this week. I'll try and keep it short and sweet! I bought things from New Look, Miss Selfridge and Superdrug...

The two images above show the front (top) and back (bottom) of the other top I bought from New Look in the 2 for £6 offer. It's a mint green thin jersey oversized t-shirt with an open back, which looks great with leggings. Again, I wear a cami under this as I don't want my back on full show!

The leggings in the above image are perhaps my most exciting purchase. I've been eyeing up the American Apparel Shiny Nylon Tricot Leggings for ages but was skeptical about paying £30 for a pair of leggings. I saw these in Miss Selfridge for a mere £14 and they are almost identical to the black American Apparel ones! The only difference is that they are perhaps very slightly less shiny, but I think I like them better for this. They are so flattering and have become one of my favourite clothing items! You can buy them online here.

Finally, I bought a few things from Superdrug. I have wanted a BB cream for ages and after trawling through countless reviews online, I settled on the original Garnier BB Cream in 'Light'. I won't go into too much detail about it now as I think I will write an in depth review of it on here. However, I can tell you that I love it already! It is currently on offer in Superdrug for £7.49 and it is usually £9.99, so get out and buy it if you have been waiting for it to reduce in price!

Also from Superdrug is the Barry M Lipgloss in 'Coral'. This is another thing raved about in the blogging world and I had to try it, as when I smelt it I felt in complete love with it. It smells really strongly of fruit salad sweets to me and is a gorgeous colour that goes on quite sheer. It isn't sticky either which is great! This was just over £4, though I can't remember it exactly and I can't find it online.

Anyway, there you have it! Have you bought anything exciting recently? :)

"Beautifying Oil is pure beauty in a bottle. Made with a lightweight blend of nut oils including Community Fair Trade marula oil, it gives instant hydration and a shimmering finish. This one has an exotic mango scent.

I promised I would photo a few of the looks I try out with my new 'Heaven and Earth' palette from MUA (£4 from Superdrug!), so here is my first look!

To show you how to create this look yourselves, I have included a photo of the palette so I can refer to them easily for you.

Step 1: I firstly primed my eyelids using Urban Decay's original Primer Potion, but any primer will do. I also applied a second base all over my lids, but this is completely optional- I just find it makes the eyeshadow last a bit longer. I used Elf's Color Stick in 'Golden Peach' for this.

Step 2: From the MUA palette I then took the shade fourth from the left on the top row and applied this all over my lids. For this I used a brush from 17 that I got in a set so I don't know its name! However it was just a generic lid brush.

Step 3: I then took the top left colour and applied a little bit to my tear ducts using a small concealer brush from 17.

Step 4: Using the same brush as step 2, I took the shade on the bottom row second from the right and applied this in a 'v' shape on the outer half of my eyelids. I blended this for quite a while using a QVS blending brush.

Step 5: I then used the same blending brush as step 4 and took the shade second from right on the top row, applying it into the crease of my eyelids. I blended this out for quite a while until the edges looks light and feathery and the colours seemed to all merge together.

Step 6: I then lined my upper lash line using Rimmel's waterproof gel liner in black.

Step 7: To complete the look, I used a 17 mascara that came in a set a while ago that doesn't have a name. I only applied this to my top lashes to achieve the effect in the photo.

So, there you have it! What do you think? Also, this is my first tutorial so I would love any feedback you might have for me! :)

As the title suggests, I finally jumped on the blogging bandwagon and invested in MUA's eyeshadow palette in 'Heaven and Earth'. For anybody left out there who hasn't heard of it, this palette costs £4 from Superdrug and contains 12 neutral shades including gorgeous browns, creams and bronzes.

Above is a shot I took of swatches of each shade, the swatches appear in the same order as the shades do in the palette. As you can see, the colours are so strong and all of them have a slight shimmer to them. This brings me onto my only negative point about the palette- there are no matte shades. This doesn't bother me too much as they aren't glittery at all and so I can wear them happily as an everyday look, but I know some people prefer matte shades for their neutral looks.

So, there you have it! My opinion on one of the most popular palettes of the blogging world. It is amazing value for money and I would recommend this again and again; for £4 you can't afford not to!

2. Scottie Dog Tank Top- I am in love with anything that has cats or dogs on, so this was bound to be a big hit with me. Isn't it cute!? Very appropriate for this year too, with the recent jubilee!

3. Mystic Horse Crop Top- This mixes gorgeous pastel colours with an animal- pattern emerging perhaps!?

This is my first wishlist post and I chose to keep it short and sweet as there are literally hundreds of things I would like from Topshop at the moment. I have a current love of pastel colours and so they will probably feature heavily in any future lists! If you want to buy any of these things I have linked them above as you can see. What do you think? :)

Something a bit different today! I have tried out my nail art pen for the first time. This was really simple to do and I think I'm quite pleased with it for a first attempt, although I messed up very slightly on my other hand! The products I used were Sally Hanson Hard as Nails, Hard as Wraps in 'Royal Red Creme' and Models' Own WAH! Nail art pen in black. What do you think?

Quite a fun post to write today. I am going to show you some of my go to nail polishes at the moment and colours I'll be wearing over Summer, if the weather ever stays sunny!

Barry M Nail Paint- Left to right, 'Tangerine', 'Cyan Blue', 'Mint Green', 'Block Orange' and 'Flamingo Pink'.  Barry M takes up the majority of my nail polish collection, I just love the formula and the range of colours is second to none. For summer I think orange in particular is a perfect colour, as it is just lovely, bright and happy! Mint green is a colour that is really on trend at the moment, so it is definitely going to be one of my Summer staples. All of the colours in the above image are simple block colours, except for 'Tangerine', which is an orange with gorgeous yellow/orange shimmer.


Rimmel 60 Seconds Nail Polish- Left to right, 'Pulsating' and 'Green With Envy'. I mentioned these in my last post, my £1 bargain haul from Pound world (link here). They are both almost dual-chromed colours, the first is a gleaming hot pink that has blueish undertones and the second is a green that looks different under every light. I love them both as they dry so quick and are perfect Summer colours.


Models' Own Beetlejuice- Shade 'Indian Ocean'. This is a dual-chrome colour that has hints of baby blue, pearl and pink. It looks amazing on, see my nail of the day post in which I wore this here.

Sally Hanson Hard as Nails, Hard As Wraps- Shade 'Royal Red Creme'. This is a gorgeous staple red colour from my collection, but to me it is different from most reds. When dried, it gives the look of gel nails I feel and it goes amazingly well with a matte top coat. I also mentioned this in my previous £1 make-up post.

Ciate Paint Pot- Shade 'Purple Sherbet'. This is my favourite nail polish at the moment, the colour is gorgeous and speaks for itself- look at this link to see it for yourself!

Well, that's it for my Summer nail polish staples, I hope you enjoyed reading! Let me know your Summer favourites in the comments, I'd love to hear them!

Firstly, I have to declare how much of an idiot I am because I have lost my camera charger! This is heartbreaking as the photos I take for blog posts are going to be a bit rubbish until I buy a replacement or miraculously find it. So, I apologise if the photos in the next few days aren't up to a good standard, I hope you'll bear with me!

I'm writing today about some recent bargains I have found in Pound World and the 99p Store. As I'm sure you already know, everything at Pound World costs £1 and everything at 99p Store is 99p! I have spent loads of time in them both recently as I've discovered they have some of the most amazing deals on make-up and nail polish I have ever seen, and so I've been having a good rummage through the make-up section of every Pound World and 99p Store I have come across. I am going to tell you the things I have bought quite briefly, as I have a few more in depth reviews on some of the products to come soon so watch this space!

A 3-Pack of Sally Hanson Products- This was one of the first things I bought from Pound World. For just £1 I got all three of the products above in a little clear bag. So technically I paid 33.333p (etc!) for each of them which is amazing value. I have only since seen Sally Hanson products in Pound World for £1 for one product, so do let me know if anybody else spots another bargain 3-pack! The products I got were a 'Natural Beauty' lipstick in shade 'Pink Blossom' that I have already reviewed here, a 'Hard as Nails, Hard as Wraps' red nail polish and a pink 'Lacquer Shine' lipgloss.

Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluptuous- Again they only had this in brown, but it is still brilliant. I don't think you can get this in ordinary drug stores anymore as I haven't been able to find it, correct me if I am wrong! This was £1 from Pound Land and it's a great mascara, very dramatic!

I am going to be doing reviews of one or two more of these products so watch this space, let me know if you want a review on anything specific or even just more details or swatches :)

The colour I used on my nails today is 'All Mighty' by Sinful Colors. I love this, it is a shimmery teal-blue. Again, this is another colour that I feel looks nicer on than it does in the pot. I have my Models' Own 3-in-1 base and topcoat on too to protect it from chipping.

They come in a few different colours, but the only others that they had in the Nottingham Outlet store were the pink canvas and white and nude coloured leather-esque material. I saw mint green ones online but it said on the website that they are no longer available which is a shame, but I love the pink ones! I might never take them off!

I know I am a little bit late for this, but I've been waiting for a good time to take a picture as the camera I am using at the moment isn't excellent! Anyway, here it is!

What do you think? :)

As I posted last week, I've been on holiday to Scotland and got back home at the weekend. I bought a few things whilst I was there as is tradition when on holiday! We went to both Stirling and Glasgow, which were amazing for shopping. I especially loved Glasgow, the centre is gorgeous and full of quirky shops and the usual high street shops. Anyway, here's what I bought!

17 Hide and Chic Concealer- I actually got this product for free at Boots with a voucher I printed from the Boots Advantage card machine which entitled me to get this product free with any other 17 purchase. It costs £4.99 to buy usually so I got a great deal! It is what I believe to be 17's answer to Touche Eclat, with a twist-top that dispenses the product onto a brush at the base for application. I really like this, it is marketed at people wanting to hide tired eyes and I think it does the job perfectly. I have been using Soap and Glory's 'Kiss Ass Concealer' recently and I completely love it, but I feel the 17 concealer does as good a job for half the price.

I am back from my holiday and have a backlog of posts to upload, so there might be a few going up in a short space of time, sorry haha! This first post is a quick review of the Sally Hanson Natural Beauty line Lipstick. Before seeing this in the shop, I thought that Sally Hanson was purely a nail care/polish company so I was intrigued and eager to try other products. I technically got this for 33.3p from Pound Land! It came in a clear packet with a lip gloss, a nail polish and this lipstick, all Sally Hanson and the three only cost me £1, which is unbelievable value.

There were different combinations of Sally Hanson products to choose from in these 3 packs, but I chose a packet that came with a pink lipstick as I was still on the hunt for a wearable everyday lipstick. I'm pleased to say I have found it!

The image above shows how the lipstick looks on me after 2 coats. I have looked at the Sally Hanson Natural Beauty website (www.sallyhansonnaturalbeauty.com) and I can't find this product on there so I am guessing it has discontinued, but they sold it in 2 different Pound Worlds that I have visited in the last 2 weeks so if you are interested, I would get to one quick- it may take some rummaging through the shelves but for £1 you get 3 fantastic products which is amazing! They did sell the lipstick in various other colours too again in a 3 pack bundle with other Sally Hanson products. (I may write another post on the Lip Gloss and Nail Polish possibly- I don't know if that would interest anyone?).
