Kaushal made me do it!

October 27 2010

(Sleek Makeup Haul.) I popped into Superdrug yesterday with the intention of picking up Majestic, a True Colour Lipstick by Sleek, after spotting it on Kaushal’s Blog! I instantly fell in love with the colour and thought, why not!  I was nearly thrown off when I didn’t find any more on the shelves…So I kindly asked a shop assistant to have a look for it for me. She opened up the storage drawer and I was soo happy when she handed me the last one they had in stock! In the drawer, two items I’d never seen before stared up… Read More »

I spent yesterday with my sister Kezia and her Friend Reniece. They came up to visit Notts, and we shopped and toured the city, and later enjoyed a lovely lunch at Nando’s. It was so much fun, Kezia cracked pointless jokes as usual and it was just awesome to be in her company again. I wore a pair of peg leg trousers and a striped top, paired it with some brown brogues and whipped out my Parka, the one that’s been sitting in my wardrobe, just waiting for the perfect day…I accesorised with a few rings and bracelets and wore… Read More »

The M·A·C Venomous Villains Collection…Swatches.

BEAUTY, SHOPPING
October 12 2010

Sinister  Sinister is a lustre lipstick from the Evil Queen Collection. It applies on quite sheer and I think it’s better used with a lip liner and a gloss on top, rather than on it’s own, however it is a lovely shade and seeing as plum lips are trending, it’ll be great for some of us that don’t want to go all out with a deeper plum! Zoom Fast Black Lash I LOVE this Mascara! Here I applied two coats.Easy application, doesn’t clump, and makes my lashes look a bit more volumised. I also really like the formula, it’s not… Read More »

If you don’t already know, I’m a huge fan of The Saturdays, love their music and fashion taste and I’m constantly getting inspired by them! The other night, their reality TV series 24/7 aired, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching them get up to mischief, exciting travels and the like!  My outfit today was inspired by the outfit Vanessa wore in their new video Higher. I’ve done a similar post like this in the past, and quite a few of you liked it, so yay for another one! 😀 [Source.] Vanessa’s the one pictured on the far left! She’s sporting a… Read More »

(Mini MAC Haul.)  There are a few things that have been sitting pretty on my wishlist for a while now, and I used the opportunity while picking up the shadows I had hit the pan on (Carbon & Amber Lights), to finally purchase some of them.

I picked up Blacktrack (Fluidline), Smolder (Eye Kohl), the brushes 266 and 214, oh and a 4 pan pro pallette to keep in my makeup bag! Just thought I’d… Read More »
