I have yet to figure out the uploading logic on this bloody blog, so the pictures are all the wrong way round. Also, the pictures aren't great because despite vowing not to, i continually take my photos late at night under poor lighting. Anyway..off we go...This is a review of the Rimmel Coral In Gold Lipstick, number 210, and the Rimmel Exaggerate Lipliner in Diva Red, number o24. Tho photo below was meant to be the great finale - me using both products together, but there you go. So the above pic is the lipstick and the below pic is me wearing the Red Diva lipliner with the Coral in Gold lipstick over the top.
I think it's come out really nice actually, i hardly ever wear red lips, but i think the colours work well together.
And who can resist giving the boyfriend a great big smacker on the cheek when sporting such a vibrant lip?
This is the Red Diva lipliner on it's own. It's a very creamy formula, with a nice slanted tip, so you don't get that really severe hard lipliner edge. This stuff will NOT budge, it's very long lasting, but it feels a bit cakey when on the lips. However i do really like it and reccomend it.

One of my fave lipliners is Rimmel Eastend Snob (i used to hate rimmel lipliners, they were sooo hard they looked awful) but these are great. Eastend Snob is a beautiful nude dusky pink, which looks great with Mac Hue over the top.

I will do a quick post on the Coral In Gold lipstick on it's own, and will also do a post on the Eastend Snob lipliner.

Hope you guys enjoyed this back to front blog
Until next time

About me!!

Ok, so i stole this little questionnaire type thingy from one of my followers (yes, i have 11 now, woo hoo!!)
Here goes

What is your current fashion obsession?
Oooh that would have to be my big black baggy Harem pants from Boohoo.com, my gorgeous black maxi dress from Forever 21 and a pair of wedges which i am desperate to order, from Overstock.com

What is your current makeup obsession?
Weirdly enough i don't really have one at the moment. I usually go through stages of total obsession with certain things, like finding the best way to do my eyebrows (still have not discovered one) or searching for the perfect nude lipstick. I think most recently is was a concealer obsession. However yesterday i did buy Revlon Photoready foundation, which i am LOVING

What are you wearing today?
Oh goodness, today i am v. scruffy cos i'm just at home with the kids. I have on my Victoria's Secret PINK jogging bottoms (in black), a black bandaeu top from Bay, and my nike air force ones!! However, i have done my make up!!!

Hair?
Was all over the place, but decided to put it up in a high pony tail. As usual, it started giving me a headache, so now it's down and all over the place again.

Do you nap a lot?
oh yes, i would nap all day if i could. Whenever there is a break in my day, i will nap!



What would you like to learn to do?
i would love to be fluent in another language, preferably something really difficult like Russian or Cantonese, purely so i could impress people. I would also love to learn street dance.


Whats for dinner today?
well today we are having Quiches with new potatoes and perhaps some broccoli if i can be bothered to get to sainsburys


What is your favourite kind of weather?
I love sunny days because they automatically make you feel happy. But autumn, when the air is just turning chilly and all the leaves are red and orange and the sky is turquoise blue. But i also love a really good thunder storm with torrential rain

What is the last thing you just bought?
I went into town on saturday and bought quite a few bits
Some button uggs in black, for when it gets chillier (fake ones, you trust, only £5.00)
A Flashdance tshirt from Primark
A Minnie Mouse Tshirt , and two necklaces, some knicky knacky noodles, some converse type trainers for my big daughter and a pink dress for my little daughter all from Primark
Revlon Photoready foundation, Loreal million lashes mascara, Revlon lipstick (nude attidude), some bronzer by collection 2000 and a fake tanning mitt, all from Superdrug
and......3 bottles of Hawaiin Tropic fake tan from Poundland
and......a checked shirt from H&M mens department


What are your essential items when travelling?
makeup, purse, keys, dummies for the littlest girl and a change of clothes for her incase she wets herself, oh and my phone.

Whats your style?
i change my style daily i think because i am a gemini and i would hate to be tied down to one style. Sometimes its tracksuit bottoms and high tops with a vest top, some days its a maxi dress with wedges, some days it's harem pants and flip flops, or it could be leggings and my fave cowboy boots - i love all clothes but i guess the main thing for me when getting dressed is comfort and not having the fear of breaking my neck in crazy high heels when running after the kids (shame, cos i would wear wedges a hell of a lot more if i could)

Whats your most challenging goal right now?
probably trying to stay awake throughout the day, i am always soooo tired :-(

If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would you like it to be?
wow, this is tough, because i am inclined to say where i am already - it's a great area and i'm close ish ti family, but i would also like one on miami beach or maybe australia

Favourite vacation spot
believe it or not, i have never been abroad :-(

Name the things you can not live without?
well firstly it would be my kids, , family etc, but possesion wise, probably my phone, laptop and car

What would you like to have in your hands right now?
a great big massive humungous wad of money

What would you like to get rid of?
my baby belly :-(((((

What are you most excited for?
ordering my tan wedges!!!


If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go?I would take the kids to a beautiful secluded beach with crystal waters and a delicious picnic, and they could run and play and swim and be happy


I tag anyone to do this!!!

L'Oreal Million Lashes mascara review

Ok, this blog is just driving me NUTS today. The pictures uploaded in the wrong order 3 times and now my font is blue and underlined grrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Anyway, this is a review of the L'Oreal Million Lashes mascara. I bought it from Superdrug yesterday for about £10.00, cant remember the exact price. Well the above photo is me with no mascara on at all
This is with one coat of the mascara
And this is after two coats.
In my opinion, this mascara is great. I haven't had enough time to properly play around with it yet, but going by this application, i am VERY happy!
It didn't clump, or stick my lashes together and i know i could apply another coat without fear of spider lashes.
It wasn't too wet either, which tends to be a big problem with new mascaras.
As you can see from the first photo, i have really rubbish short lashes, so i'm pretty chuffed with this!
Until next time

Garnier Pure Active Exfo Brusher review

Thought i'd do a quick review on the Garnier Pure Active Exfo brusher.
I bought this a week ago from Tescos for about £7.49, which i think is quite pricey for a face wash.


I have been using this every day, twice a day, and i haven't really seen much reduction in the marks, however i have noticed that my skin is definately a lot clearer and as the brush is like an exfoliater, my skin hasn't been as dry.

I like the scrubby brush thing because it feels like it really gives a good deep clean without being too harsh. You definately don't get that face-stretched-shiny-over-bones feeling, just a really nice, clean, soft feeling.
However, a big minus side for me on this product is that the brush is attatched to the bottle. You have to twist the top 180 degrees in order to 'open' the bottle and then tip it up to deliver the face wash onto the scrub.
But the wash is really quite runny and you end up squeezing it on the floor, then angling it only slightly so it runs onto the brush - basically it's quite fiddly and runny.
I then tried tipping my head back and squeezing it onto my face and scrubbing it in quickly, but like i said, it's so runny it tends to seep into your eyes and mouth - maybe this is just me, but i have found this quite annoying and for £7.50, you would expect the design to be a bit more user friendly.
All in all, i don't think i would re-purchase, due to two things
1) the awkward application
2) the money


But all in all, it's a great face wash, and i will definately be keeping up with it til the bottle is gone!

Until next time

A night out

I really hardly ever go out, but last night i popped out for a couple of hours to see my brothers band play. This is what i wore
My black skull dress from New Look (£10.00, reduced from £25.00 - bargain!)
Black tights
Silver skull ring £1.99 from Oxfam
New platform black ankle boots with buckles £0.99 Ebay!!
I am posing outside my house (that's my bedroom window lit up in the background!) This is me posing in my (messy) hallway. I have my extensions in too.
The nail polish i have on is Rimmel Celebrity Bash

On my eyes i have used a selection of colours from my 88 warm palette.

I have used Conceal It stick from Benefit and Max Factor Second Skin foundation

The bronzer is Rimmel, but i've had it so long all the writing has rubbed off

Mascara is Maybelline Great Lash

Maybelline liquid eyeliner

Rimmel black eyeliner

On my lips is used Rimmel East End Snob - which i absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! the only thing is, it's quite soft and is one of those wind up pencils so i don't think it will last long. It's a beautiful dusky pink colour. I sometimes top it with MAC Hue, but i find when you put lipstick on top of lipliner it doesn't stay on as long, so i just used the Rimmel and that stuff stayed on all night!!!

My brother was, as always, fantastic!!
So that's all folks!

Until next time xoxo

Shoe Lust!!

Oh i am sooooo in LOVE!!! these are the Kara wedges from Carvela and are £120.
They have them in white and orange too (orange? no thanks). I would find it hard to choose between this lovely nude colour or the white, but would probably go with the nude.
I love them so much...the best wedges are always super expensive :-(
I shall have to start saving.....
