Hi all!!!!I wanted to share with you a nail polish remover I recently bought from asda.It cost around £1 and it works wonders.Here's a quick photo diary of it in use:-Amazing. It literally takes one pad to remove ALL my nail polish. So it's going to last ages! And also, it has a slightly oily texture, meaning like unlike normal remover, it doesn't leave my nails dry yet still allows me to apply new nail varnish without any problems.Result. Its...

Hey all!! Hope your week is going well.
I'm not really able to post properly this week because I'm on a training course at a new job. But I thought I'd do a quickie post showing you what I wore last night at our meal out.

Tops - h&m
Jacket - new look
Jeans - new look
Boots - boutique in Manchester
Handbag - next
Thanks for looking! I'm...

Anyone else like me and always rushing!?
These pictures are from a couple of days ago when I literally had 15 minutes to put my makeup on and get ready. I hate rushing so whilst it is manageable, I hate getting ready in this amount of time.
However, the result was kind of fresh and very very natural. It's only when I see my other makeup looks that people have referred to as natural that I realise how bare-faced this practically is.
Somehow...

Remember when I said I was being a geek the other night and taking pictures with the products I have been loving and using this past week. Well here is the proof... Costal Scents 88 Warm PaletteLoving it because... It has the perfect range of everyday colours for me. There are matte shades as well as shimmers, so I can wear to the office without feeling like I have no eyemakeup on, whilst avoiding too much shimmerCostal Scents Blush 10 Palette.Loving...

Those of you who have been following me from the early days may recall I did a post on hair lightening, reviewing Jolene Creme Bleach.I use this for the dark hairs on my face and have found it better than trying to find a suitable removal method.Following this review, quite a few girls recommended the Boots version advising it was cheaper and didn't sting unlike the Jolene version.So of course I gave it a try. It comes with what you can see below...

So this evening I have been a bit of a geek and took pics with a couple of the new products I have tried within the last week. This being one of them.
I was lucky enough to be sent the waterless foam and dry shampoo to try for review purposes last week and being used to dry shampoos already, I was itching to give the new waterless foam concept a go.
The product is for dry, frizz prone hair. Which mine is. I just put lots of serum on it to...

Hey there everyone.
Hope your Wednesday is going well. I am SUPER busy this week as I start a new job in a few days and I have LOADS of pre-reading and tests to do, eeeeeeek!!
Anyway, it's always nice to have a break so I thought where better to relax than infront of my Laptop reading a couple of blog posts and quickly posting one myself.
So from the title you will have guessed it's another one of my foundation reviews. This time is a Revlon Foundation....

One of my beautiful friends got married this weekend. It was such a stunning stunning day. I had the best time ever, the sun came out so the wedding was outside in a bandstand, the food was amazing and she looked beautiful. It was perfect.
With it being a summer wedding I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to wear a more "weddingy" colour (i.e. a colour I wouldn't normally wear).
Here was the result...
Please excuse the child-like...

I have been planning to do this review for at least a month, but I wanted to have used the product properly and provide pictures, but it's worth the wait I promise!
Now I'll be honest - I've never really understood the whole gradual tanners thing. To me if you want a tan get a self tan - not a moisturiser that gives you a hint of orange and makes you smell like curried biscuits!
However, the lovely people at Xen Tan sent this product to me to...

Yesterday's makeup look..
I wanted a really natural look yesterday as I wasn't really doing too much, but I wanted to look nice for the boyfy when he got back from working in the morning. So despite the jogging bottoms I still applied my makeup hehe.
I used:-
Bare Minerals foundation, mineral veil, warmth and well rested.
Laura Mercier Concealer
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat
MAC Viva Glam Gaga with Estee Lauder Vanilla Truffle over the top

Finally, I have got around to doing this post...Quite a few of you lovely followers requested that I do a post on my weight loss, following my post in which revealed that I had recently lost 30 lbs. Basically I put on 30lbs whilst studying 3 years undergrad and then working full time whilst doing postgrad for 2 years following this.Rather than go into an essay like post about this I thought that I would basically outline what I did, how long it...

I purchased Grazia this week and as I was flicking through I found a sample of TRESemme's colour protection shampoo and conditioner inside.
I didn't have high hopes for the products, only because I don't tend to steer away from Redken shampoo and conditioner because I have been left disappointed in the past. Also, because my hair is Afro-Caribbean it has a tendency to snap and get really dry which means I need to really look after it.
As I coloured...

Morning ladies!I know this is a slightly unusual post, but like a lot of you I am sure, I struggle with finding a well fitting bra.So today I googled a few queries I had in relation to why my bra behaves in certain ways!!! In doing so I stumbled across a fabulous section on Bravissimo's website that I just had to share with you.Basically there is a section on their website called the perfect fit. It's really really good. Gives you great information...

Last week, after reading a couple of posts on Primark's autumn 2010 collection I was ready to don some ski boots and take a trip to the mountains!There was a real wintery feel about it with the chunky knits and fur collars. I'm all about wrapping up in winter so I love it when fashion allows for stylish warmth.Anyway, as a result I planned a winter trip to Center Parcs (I can't really afford skiing at this stage) and had a look at what the high street...
