I picked up this very lovely Nail Polish by L.A. Colours on my recent shopping trip to Westfield. The store is called Beauty Base, and they had a variety of beauty items, from fragrances to makeup at very very affordable prices! There was a whole array of nail colours on the stands, and if I had my way I would have bought all of them…they were only 99p! YES 99p!  I managed to nab a few other colours that I will be showing you in the next few Nail Posts! 🙂 Color Craze, Gold, L.A. Colours. (£0.99) The brush is… Read More »

I was kindly approached by Junk Jewels, a small jewellery company based outside of London, asking if I was interested in reviewing their brand. I popped on over to their website, and having liked what I saw, I agreed to do so. I was sent Two Lovely pieces… A Gold Plaited Pendant Necklace, with the words “J’etaime” Inscribed on the inside… …and a Dove heart charm bracelet. Gold Plaited Pendant Necklace – £10.00 Dove heart charm bracelet – £8.00 They are both so pretty and girly, wouldn’t you agree? 🙂 I was very impressed with the Service, not only where… Read More »

On Friday Afternoon, My friend Steph and I Strutted our way down to Earl’s Court for what is known as the “Ultimate Girls Day Out” …The Clothes Show, London! It was a fun day of Clothes, shoes and makeup, followed by The Style Awards, hosted by The George Lamb. We got to rub shoulders with a few celebs (Teehee) and watch the lovely Paloma Faith, YouTube Sensation Esmee Denters and new group Wanted perform! It was awesome! An amazing fashion show was put on, which incorporated some dance, and had pieces inspired by different parts of the world, and eras! It was soo… Read More »

Baked To Last.

PHOTO DIARY
June 26 2010

I had the joy of attending this event along with a few other bloggers yesterday.  It was held in the Penthouse Suite of The very Posh Westbury Hotel, in Mayfair, London.  The setting was just divine.  The suite overlooked a lovely terrace, and there was a table set up with drinks, appetisers and cupcakes (…we got to decorate our own! ^.^).  There was a little talk about the new products coming to stands (Hair Care, Vitamin C and Baked-To-Last ranges), and a demonstration using some pieces from the new Baked-To-Last collection by make-up artist Chase Aston. A representative from the ECPAT UK charity came… Read More »

“Summer makeup must be breathable and not heavy.” I remember reading this somewhere, perhaps on another blog, a tweet or a magazine, can’t quite remember, but it stuck with me! I actually agree, summer makeup should be breathable! As the weather has become increasingly hotter over the past few days, i’ve just found it a lot easier to go with little or no makeup! A swipe of eyeliner, a tad of mascara and Carmex for my lips has been my routine!  I’m still on the hunt and testing out a few products, to come up with a good summer makeup routine,… Read More »

…and blue. 🙂 I’m sporting Sleek’s True Colour Lipstick in Fuchsia.  I just love this lipstick. The moisturising texture, beautiful pink shade and the way it looks on. My cheeks were adorned with a hint of Plum Foolery by MAC, and to add a bit of character to my wing, I swept a bit of a blue glitter eye liner on it (Sleek’s Carribean). Fuchsia Lippy – £3.69 Blue Glitter Liner – £3.69Plum Foolery Blush – £16.50 I didn’t feel like braving the cold bare chested today, so I wore a scarf …my blue Arabic scarf that I purchased on Oxford Street… Read More »

What better way to treat myself after a gruelling Two hours and Ten minutes of Pure Mathematics eh? I had my Algebra Exam today …One word. Dreadful. It was pretty tough, and I found it a lot more challenging than the other exams that i’ve had so far!  I’m just hoping that I did okay, but I know I’m going to have to work my butt off to do very well in the exams I have left…just to balance things! Anyhoozles, to cheer myself up, I went into town for some frappuccino and a spot of retail therapy! I initially just wanted… Read More »
