Hello!!! Hope you are all having a great break (if you're lucky enough to be off) and that you had a great Xmas.
I would like to say thank you to all my loyal followers and welcome to my new ones. I was super chuffed to see I am now over 1000!! Was such a shock as I haven't been blogging since Christmas. Yay!
So I'll get back to blogging real soon but I'm going to continue chilling over the next few days. Following which there will be reviews,...

So I finally took the plunge and signed up to the Feel Unique Beauty Box. This was my first box so I was excited to see what was in it, even though it felt like an age before it arrived in the post!
I think I would have been excited no matter what was in it but the good thing is there are actually things in this I will use and want to try. Goody!
As you can see, the items were as follows:-
TIGI Bed Head Candy Fixations Sugar Dust...
Happy Sunday lovelies!! Hope you're all well.
I've been mad busy with the lead up to Xmas and work. Crazzzzeeeeee time. Bet you're the same!
At least Xmas is nearly here though. I'm hoping that the snow keeps away. There's just been a little dusting here but a lot of ice. And it's very chilli. Which meant I had to purchase a new hat on Friday. It's from a little boutique in Southport and I LOVE it. It's such a lovely peacock blue!
What kind...

So next week is my Christmas party and it's been near impossible to find something to wear!!! All the dresses out there don't seem to suit my shape AT ALL.
Anyway, here's what I have chosen... What do you think?? It's a 3 course meal and then dancing at a hotel in Manchester. Hope it's in keeping with what everyone else seems to wear - its always hard to know with work dos!
Wearing it with black tights and shoe boots so it's a little less girlie...

So you will probably see from previous posts that I like to change my iPhone case every few months. I get a bit bored and I like things that suit my mood.
This time I made another purchase on eBay and my present case is just divine! It's the cutest thing ever!
I fell for it whilst searching for a rabbit one (which I am still getting) and just loved how kitsch it was!
I paid less than a fiver and it arrived in a week.
So how is it for use?...

Anyone else excited for Christmas!? I am super excited! Only a couple of weeks to go! Yay!
So to celebrate Christmas I have picked up some lovely treats for one lucky reader. Yes, that's right - it's giveaway time again!
I wanted to say a big thank you to you to all my new and good old loyal followers who regularly read my giddy ramblings. I love sharing my thoughts, loves and inspiration with you and long may it continue.

So recently I popped down to my (not so local) H&M in Manchester - primarily for a fur collar I had seen a couple of girlies sporting.
I got the fur collar, which incidentally I don't actually like on, and spotted this little beauty at the till point.
It was only £1.99 and given that my lips were near enough dropping off at this point I couldn't resist.
So I didn't.
This purchase I was a little more pleased with than the fur collar...

There's something about red lipstick for making a girl feel glam. I think it is to do with all the old movie stars think Marilyn Monroe/Sophia Loren and then the more recent beauties such as Dita Von Teese.
So naturally, I felt that my makeup collection was lacking a certain glam given that the all time classic red lip was not available. I stumbled across Barry M's Lip Paint in Pillar Box Red #121 last week and picked it up for the price of £4.49.
Here's...

Hi lovelies! As you all no doubt know, hair oil seems to be taking the beauty world by storm. I have used various oils since I first relaxed my hair back when I was 15 (lonnnnng time ago!), so I have been extremely happy to see them become more mainstream. So when I was lucky enough to be sent a Beauty Box from Boudoir Privé in September with this sample enclosed I was very excited.
As I was only able to pick it up...

Hi lovelies - hope your week is going well! I'm presently trying to type with super cold hands as I have just got in from work. It's so cold!
Anyway, some of you who follow me on twitter or instagram will have seen my recent post showing some shoes that I recently found in my wardrobe. I have had them for like 5 years and was so excited when I rediscovered them!
Quite a few of you also commented on how much you like my tattoos,...

Happy weekend lovelies! Hope you are all having a lovely time - I know a lot of you are at the Leeds bloggers meet up today so I hope that's fun!!
This is a bit of a random post really but I was feeling pretty positive because the suns out and it's a Saturday.
I am in a super mood today - hence the reason for the title above. I am so inspired I am thing of doing one of those 100 things posts... Not sure yet.
Anyway, not...

So no doubt like many of you ladies out there I have recently been pretty excited to actually feel enthusiastic about a Limited Edition Collection. The more recent ones really haven't done it for me so I was really pleased when this collection came out because it is just so pretty.
So I trotted off to MAC at the first opportunity I got and had my eye on a couple of pieces which I thought would be nice to get. Sadly (or happily for my bank account)...

So I decided to revisit this foundation. I had tried it in the past and decided that personally it didn't float my boat. (Previous post here)
It was worth trying again because my foundation applying technique has changed and I find that having moved to the cosmopolitan beauty blender my foundation is always smoother on application these days. Meaning it looks more flawless rather than cakey as it could previously.
So out it came and after wetting...

So I recently purchased the Yogi Hair Wand on Sarah's blog. I picked it up for a mere £20 which was a bargain given that they retail at £59.95.
I haven't had time to experiment with my hair until this weekend, so I was of course very keen to try them on Saturday.
So I washed, conditioned and dried and then wrapped my bushy locks around the barrel and voila - beautiful, bouncy and full waves!

Hey Everyone!
Hope you're having a happy Sunday!? I've been very productive today and popped a video on YouTube while searching for a home to buy in Manchester. Still not quite found the right place yet but here's hoping...
Anyway, I found out about Proto-col Baked Mineral Cosmetics this week and I'll be honest - I hadn't really come across them before. Once I had read the press releases though I was very intrigued and super...

So firstly, I feel like I totally missed a trick by not reviewing this before Halloween given the name of this concealer, but the good news is I have had plenty of time to test it and therefore you can rest assured I now have a good sense of how this concealer works.
Which by the way is well, in case you couldn't wait to get to the end of the post...
This concealer is much creamier than the Kick Ass Concealer I loved and reviewed last week here....

So to begin this review I would firstly like to say ta da!
Here is my hair after use of the Split Remedy Range. This is a near miracle - my hair won't tame for anyone at the moment and the fact that it is actually falling down rather than frizzing left, right and centre shows that this product works for me.
Apologies for the lack of face - I was makeup-less
So on to the formal review.
Most of you will now know that...

So I've had a few days off to have a bit of a time out with the boyfy. Fun fun times. I went off to York, which is stunning. We ate and we drank and we were merry!! We took a trip to the Viking Centre and acted like kids for a bit! I love times like that!
Although I didn't take any pictures of York itself, here are some of the pictures I took during my time off this week...
Got to love a bit of Marc Jacobs
Yay...

Before
After
So this week has been pretty high pressure so I was excited to go out to a party on Friday night with the boyf and friends. Getting ready was pretty rushed. Especially because I had to factor in washing my hair, which at the moment I can do nothing with.
I went out looking like the second picture. In a black dress rather than the pink fluffy dressing gown! I don't really know why the "before" picture...

So I happened upon the Soap & Glory Makeup Range in Boots the other day. Excited is an understatement! Has anyone else seen this? Were you excited too??
I have been waiting for this for what seems like ages and it did not disappoint. The range covers everything. Foundation, concealer, blush, bronzer, eyeshadow, mascara, lippies etc.
They have got it 100%right in my opinion.
Anyway, as I was tight on time (and cash) I decided to get something...
