Hi All!!!


Hope you are well! So Christmas is only three weeks away.. how exciting!!! My christmas shopping is going well but i will do a last minute xmas eve shopping trip due to lack of funds this month... booo!!! :(

Anyway, I just thought i'd share the outfit I will be wearing this year, as I have my boyfriends 21st birthday party the friday before xmas I needed a new outfit of course. So he bought me this, which is also a early xmas pressie.......

I ♥ it
I did originally want this one.....

But it was out of stock :(

Nevermind though eh! I can't wait for mine to arrive, im really loving bodycon inspired outfits atm! So tell me what is your xmas party outfit?

Aussie Hair Competition: My Entry!!!

Hi All!!


So as promised, here is my outfit entry in regards to the Aussie competition as mentioned here. I have chosen the Aussome Volume range and feel this outfit matches perfectly with the description of the range, that is mainly what i'm trying to achieve via the description of the range from their website.....

Click image to enlarge
The parachute style dress adds 'volume' to the outfit and as below, the waist belt and cleavage cut gives me an 'uplift' in the bust area and helps create the desired 'voluptuous' cleavage I was hoping for (he he!)...



And did you see what I did there?? All words hyphnated I noticed are used to best describe the effect of using the Aussome Volume range! And I cannot forget the colour scheme of the outfit, I had to get a bit of Tan in there..... when I think of Aussie, I think of Kangaroos hahaaa!! :o)

So there you have it, now it's yoour turn beauts!!! Remember I can pick a winner of my own, and if I get chosen by the lovelies at Aussie we both get prizes!! So far I have one entry..... gotta say I am disspointed I haven't had anymore :(

Hopeful i'll see some more before the deadline which is Monday 30th November??!! I'm unsure of the time but get posting ASAP!!! Hope you liked mine, and I look forward to seeing yours!

Aussie Hair Competition!

Hi All!

I have been approached by the lovely Lauren at Aussie HQ who has given me the opportunity to enter into a competition with Aussie! I was sent a biscuit tin, with a lush choccie inside (so lush i didn't even take time to look at the brand before eating it all up and throwing away the wrapper haha) and also my competition entry details. This is what my competition card stated:

"You love Aussie right?
Of course you do- you're great. But since we know you're really a clothes horse,
not a hair horse, we want to know what Aussie really means to you.
What's beyond the Mmmm, the Aaaaah?
What if Aussie were an outfit?
What would it look like? What would the care label say?"

So I am currently deciding on what outfit I feel best fits one of the categories Aussie Hair Products provide... oh wait I bet your wondering which category i've chosen? Well i've gone for the category of 'Aussome Volume'.
But guess what?!!!! You can be in with the chance of winning some goodies too!! :o)

I want you to post on your blogs an outfit idea, taking from what is written above and using an idea from one of the following Aussie Hair Care categories:
♥ Aussome Volume
♥ Miracle Moist
♥ Frizz Miracle
♥ Mega
♥ Colour Mate
♥ Luscious Long

Once you have your chosen outfit, post it on your blog and let me know via commenting this post and linking me to your blog post. Oh and as I was told by Lauren you can either create a outfit yourself from your wardrobe and take a pic, use items from online stores or you can design something. I will be choosing one lucky winner and if I win my category then my winner will also win some goodies too! (I think thats how it works ayways!!) Any questions feel free to ask!!


The deadline is Monday 30th November, I will hopefully be posting my outfit tomorrow or Thursday at some point so look out for that! To get any ideas just click here

My first blog sale.... coming soon!!



My first blog sale is coming very soon! I've been clearing out my room and found a few things that I just do not need or use anymore. I'm getting some items together that are new or used... but don't for one minute think i'll be selling any items that can be deemed as 'tatty' because I wouldn't even bother trying to sell items that cannot be used by someone else. (I do have some items that have been worn once or twice, but are in great condition!)

These items I am hoping to sell will be:
♥ Clothes
♥ Make-up
♥ Jewellery


I hope you'll look out for the sale within the next week :o)

My favourite nail polish of all time!

Hi All!!

I am currently wearing my favourite nail polish which is Barry M 'Shocking Pink'! I adore this shade so much, I am constantly wearing it :o)

I am also wearing false nails which are the Kiss 100 short square.
I'm a big fan of these false nails as the help preserve the rich colour that the Barry M polish provides. And also helps with the growth of my own nails. If I wear these false nails on top for about two weeks, my own nails have grown a fair bit.


Anyone else a fan of these false nails?

Halloween 2009!!

Hi all!!


Hope you all had a wicked weekend using Halloween as an excuse to get completely smashed and dress up?? Cause I did!!! I didn't go as a Sailor in the end... I was very gutted but I couldn't afford to buy my outfit in the end, I left it too late. So I dressed up as Catwoman.. not very original but I felt very sexy and enjoyed 'meowing' and purring all night! Here's a few photo's from my night.....



Kinky Catwoman


A pic with a fellow feline had to be done :o)

Group pic!

Me and the fella, Blade
What did you dress up as?

Review: L'oreal Voluminous Mascara

Hi All!!



Product:
L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara

It's purpose:
♥ This special formula mascara is designed to make your lashes look visibly thicker, longer and yet still natural looking. It's suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers and can be easily removed with normal eye make-up remover. Just stroke it on and marvel at the way the brush fibres coat each eyelash fully and effortlessly without clumping or flaking of mascara.
♥ Up to four times more volume, without clumping
♥ The extra-volume brush deposits just the right amount of mascara for an even application that resists clumping and flaking
♥ Enriched with Ceramide-R and Panthenol, Voluminous will protect and condition your lashes, leaving them supple and soft to the touch


My Thoughts:
I have found a new masacara that I love with a passion and it is the above! I have been wanting to try this mascara out for a while after seeing a few reviews on it. I am one of those girls that likes big, thick lashes and sometimes even slightly clumpy. The thickness of the brush is perfect, it's not too big such as the Benefit Bad Gal Lash and not too thin as are some of the newer Rimmel mascaras.

In comparision to my favourite mascara's Bourjois Clubbing Mascara and Benefit Bad Gal Lash; it sits in well with them and gives me the desired look I want. I like how it is versatile and allows me to use only a little for a daytime look or pack on a serious amount for a night time/dramatic look. I will definately be purchasing this again :o)


I wanna apologise for the crappyness of my camera, you may have noticed I haven't a clue how to achieve the clarity some of you girlies are a whiz at doing so i'm very sorry!! Here is a close up of my lashes:

Look at the length of those babies:

If your like me and love thick lashes rather then thin delicate lashes, this is def a mascara you should try out! *Thumbs up*

Hi All!!!


So it was one of our friends, Mitch's 21st birthday on the weekend and his girlfriend threw a surprise birthday party for him which was brill as well as going uptown afterwards. This was the reason why I couldn't attend the Aussie Pamper Evening event in Birmingham, which I hope whoever went to it (???) enjoyed it?!

Anyways I just thought i'd share my outfit of the night with you all, you may recognise the crop top from a recent post about my last haul fix whilst I Christmas shop? Well in all honesty I broke that ban and bought not one, but two clutches from River Island in the mid-winter sale which started instore today.... i'm sorry but who can resist? SERIOUSLY!! Hehehe!

Top: Vero Moda
Leggings: Hypnotic
Heels: Bertie

Jacket: Dolce and Gabbanna

I must resist......

Hi All!!


As of today I have officially given myself a ban or should I say a low budget on what I can purchase for myself.... but only until I have finished all of my christmas shopping! You may have guessed that I have a bit of a shopping addiction, so this ban/budget is not easy for me at all!!!!

So my last bit of haulage for the moment is a Vero Moda crop top which I found in the sale at ASOS for just £10!!! I don't own a crop top yet, I know i'm severly behind on this trend, so when I saw this one which is different to what I have seen around; I had to buy it!






If you see a post from yours truly titled 'HAUL' please slap my wrists for me :o)

Review: No7 Nail Varnish

Hi All!




Product:
No7 Speed Dry Nail Polish 'Siren'

My Thoughts:
I'm going to get straight to the point on this one; I am not impressed with this brand of nail polish at all! As a range I have always found No7 to be pretty good as I use quite a few of their products, however the nail polishes are a complete let down! This particular nail polish is not the first No7 I have used, in all I own about four of them and each one does not last. The build up of colour only takes about two coats which is good, but after drying it is very easy to chip.

Here is some photo evidence of why I would not advice anyone to buy this product...


After one day


After two days




So there you have it, I will not be buying another No7 nail polish no matter how cheap I can buy them with No7 vouchers and work discount and I wouldn't advise you to buy this either! I have spoken with the No7 consultant at my Boots store and they find the polish to be the let down of No7 as a brand... it's a shame, they should take a page out of Barry M's books :o)

Has anyone else experienced the same with this brand?
