Hello there my foundation hunting sisters!!
So, like most of you, I am constantly on the look-out for a truly fabulous foundation that will take away all my skin worries. Over the years I have tried sooooooo many. Most of which I have been unhappy with.
With there being a lot of movement towards mineral makeup I have been giving some of the products out there a try.
Obviously there are LOADS out there, but I stumbled across the Perfecting Minerals...
Ok so I don't want to spend ages reviewing this product, so this should be a quick post.This product was an impulse buy when Boots were giving us £5 off No7 and Ruby and Millie products.The plan was that it would give a nice "flush" to the cheeks and could perhaps be used as a base colour or maybe built up if I wanted it to be a bit deeper.I was wrong. What a total waste of my money. It retails at £12.50 (day light robbery) so I paid £7.50. Still expensive if a product doesn't work...Basically, I use this and all it does is create a layer of grease...

Hey peeps!!Some of you may be familiar with this product as it has been around forever, is cheap and can be bought from most chemists. But for those of you who are not, it looks like this...Although the one I use has a pink stipe along the bottom as it is the milder formula for sensitive skin.As you can see, you get a spatula, two tubs and you also get a mixing board which isn't pictured here.The instructions say to mix 1/4 tsp of the powder with...
Hey there lovelies.
So I wanted to do a review for you on a cream eyeshadow I recently purchased at Superdrug.
The brand is ME ME ME and their product is the Colourama Cream Eye Shadows in shades Liquid Bronze, Chiffon Rose and Azure Blue. They retail for £5.50 each ordinarily but I picked them up for £3.99 each last Friday on offer.
I did try to find a website for this brand to link for you and also so you could see what the product...

Quick! Get yourself to Morries (aka Morrisons) for half price suncream before 6 June 2010.You know you are just going to spend a fortune when it comes to going away otherwise!!!It was only the other day I was saying how expensive it is to save yourself from skin damage. I think it's ridiculous what we have to pay really, and I am lucky because I don't really need it. Well I don't burn is what I mean to say, but obv still want to be protected...Here is the link so that you know what I am talking about.Giddy P...

Soooooo my lovely ladies... Just thought I would give you another post on some more of my NYC purchases!!I had heard a lot about Forever 21 prior to heading to NYC and had seen their website through a site related to Soho in NYC. So it was one of the stores I was sure I would be heading to before I went.Sooooo I searched the address and looked it up once me and the boyfy walked into Soho. OMG when I first walked in it was BEDLAM I mean Primark mid...

So today I picked up 17 Last Fix Nail Polish from Boots in shade "Sherbet Lemon". It looked stunning in the bottle and well, I simply love sherbet lemons!!
I was pretty excited to try this too as it was a pastelly yellow and given I seem to be obsessed with pastel anything at the moment (yes I am talking eyes, lips, nails, clothes!) I thought it would be very pretty.
Now I am not so sure, but I think that is down to the polish more than the...

Ok, so this was weird - in a good way. There seemed to be quite a few of these in Soho, but in particular 2 opposite each other!! Hmmmm, that's a new one. Ah well I went into both.My first trip wasn't super successful, which was harsh because it was sooooo busy and the boyfy had to wait outside the fitting rooms (well he went outside) for 50 minutes! All for me to buy this one top!! But as I kept saying at the time, it's not like it is around the...
So one of my beauty purchases yesterday was this...I had intended to purchase the eye gel they do because I do really like that, however I left it in NYC so I had been using Boots cheapy eye cream only (which incidentally is good, but I get puffy eyes because they are so darn sensitive so the eye gel really helps).Anyway, firstly I picked up the eye gel which was on offer and had like a £1 off or something in Boots. But next to it there was the "You...

Firstly, just let me say this:-I freaking loved this shop. As much as I would love to be fashionable, really I am a basic tee's and jeans kinda girl. So this place was amazing to me. Graphic tee's for $10!!! Loads of teeny casual shorts, hoodies, flip flops, skinnies (I mean jeans not people). And the big billboard in front of it!!! Yes I know, I am easily pleased, but the city I live in isn't much of a city so forgive me.Anyhooooow!! I didn't go...

Giddy Princess here once again...
Just a quick post to show you my new nail colour. Love love love. It's Barry M (I know I know, what a surprise I hear you say!! But they were two for a £5er!!) and its in shade #304 "mint green".
Tried to do a NOTD when I put it on on Sat night, but it wouldn't show up properly on my camera. However I stumbled across this beauty of a pic and thought this would demonstrate it in it's true glory. Even...

Hello ladies,
it's been a while, but I am now back from my little trip to NYC. DEPRESSION!
Anyway, I would have loved to have posted to you from there, but unfortunately I was just too busy sightseeing, cocktail drinking and shopping!! So didn't want to do a half hearted post just for sake of it...
Sooooooooooo I am still somewhat jet lagged, but I am out for a girlie's b'day tonight so it should help me party to all hours hehe!!...

Hey again...
I just wanted to show some love to a new lipstick I have recently tried alongside one I use all the time.
Like many of you out there, I have recently found the new MUA range at Superdrug and pretty much went wild and bought every product haha!! One I have been wearing all weekend though is a pretty lipstick in shade 2. Its a stunning deep purpley pink which can be seen here ...
Alone, it can be a teeny bit too dry for me,...
Ooooooo so I love love love this nail varnish. Seriously. Divine!
It is precisely what I wanted it to be. As I have found with most BarryM nail paint's it needs two coats, but after that you are good. The colour for me is just how you see it in the bottle and even without a top coat it has lasted a couple of days. Very impressive considering these products are such a bargain!!!
Here's a quick swatch pic of it on...
How much do you LOVE...

Soooo, it's been like 10 hours I've been getting used to my new hair and I'm really not sure :( I'm thinking too short and the fringe just isn't right.Plus I've come home tonight and found that some of the layers have kinda pouffed out at the sides. I wouldn't mind but it takes ages to grow back :( Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow, thinking of dying it though now also but the colours always seem to look black on me. Need to find a nice warmer dark browny type shade. Maybe then I'll feel a bit happier with it... ~*Giddy princess*~From iPhone...
