Steal my Style

Here's my accessories & shoes what I wore during my trip to New York, I was so upset because I'd prepared my 5 outfits, not bothering to try them on - on the day I wanted to wear my gorgeous LBD it didn't fit me :[ so I ended up wearing my Maxi dress twice.

RIP to my LBD.

New York haul

Hey dolls,

Hope you're all fabulous and enjoying the last of the weekend.

Just thought I'd do a blog on some items I purchased in New York, I had such an AMAZING time so much so I'm looking in to moving out there (any hints and tips on how to do so then please share)!!

This money has been saved up over time and I throughly enjoyed window shopping on 5th Avenue and hip hopping over to Times Square to see all of the twinkling adverts.

I definitely left my heart in New York City...



From L-R: I <3 New York photo album, MAC NW20 Studio Fix Fluid & pump, Duo Adhesive, iPod Touch, YSL Rouge Volupte no7 in Pink Lingerie l/s, MAC Please Me l/s, Ring from Forever 21, Juicy Couture original 100ml/3.4oz and of course Cover Girl Lash Blast mascara.


This gorgeous top I bought from Forever 21 in Times Square for $19.80 (good value, right). I'm going to pair it with some skinny jeans and peep toe heels.

Now, last but not least; this little beauty I just had to have. The necklace has a Poodle, an Apricot Rose and the Eiffel Tower along with a pearl on it - the reason this is so special to me is I lost my baby poodle in January who was just like a real life baby to me. She was the cutest thing. Also, she was unique because she was an Apricot poodle and they're not too common, so to see something Apricot along with a cutsey poodle it just had to be mine.


This was also from Forever 21, it cost $5.80

Hope you enjoyed my little haul girlies

In the mood for nude??

Hello poppets...

Just thought I'd do a post on my 3 fave go to nude lipsticks. Now, I have the biggest complex ever about my lips - they're so thin, and deflated so apologies in advance for the grotesque pouting pics!

L-R: Gosh Darling, MAC Close to Real, MAC Myth

L-R: Myth, C2R, Darling

Gosh Darling

MAC Close to Real (lustre finish)

MAC Myth (satin finish)

My favourite of the three is Close to Real which I think has sadly been discontinued (correct me if I'm wrong), coming in at a close 2nd is MAC's Myth... if only the two merged and had a baby it'd be the PERFECT nude! I wish Close to Real was a satin finish as they have a much creamier texture whereas lustres are a bit too opaque for my liking.

Happy pouting

Muah

Tasty treat...



Hey dolls,

Hope you're all having a fabulous Bank Holiday. Just thought I'd do a little post on this yummy shower gel I found recently whilst perusing the toiletries section in ASDA.

ASDA Essential Care Moisturising Honey & Vanilla Shower Gel

275ml/£1

I'm a total sucker for cute packaging along with anything vanilla fragranced BUT this completely surprised me when I used it in the shower as it smelt like a Terry's chocolate orange!!

Now that's what I call a tasty treat.

Aussie Awesomeness

Hey there beauts,

As promised, here's my review on some fabulous Aussie products I purchased recently.

My local Boots had an offer on: 2 for £6, so I decided upon the Frizz Miracle shampoo and conditioner along with the Miracle Hair Insurance leave in conditioner... really I should have taken advantage of the 2 for £6 offer and bought another item but nevermind!!

I chose the 'Frizz Miracle' range in the hope it would tame my mane; I have naturally curly hair, plenty of it but it's very fine and quite weak. Usually by 10.30am after a long walk to work come rain or shine I have big kinks *boo*

This really was time to put these products to the test...

Bottom: shampoo
Top: conditoner

As soon as I popped the top off these gems I fell in love with the scent, it's scrumptious! The Frizz Miracle range contains Australian Blue Gum Leaves from the Australian Eucalyptus tree (Blue gum eucalyptus oil is steam-distilled from the leaves and bark of the tree) which leaves hair feeling inredibly soft and silky and smelling fabulously fresh. I could still smell the scent the next day which was a definite plus :)

I use the leave in conditioner after shampooing and conditioning my hair, it's become my little shield. Miracle Hair Insurance is my new fave hair product and promises to protect your hair from everyday wear and tear.

My hair is now a lot smoother, virtually kink-free all day and gradually becoming stronger. I've noticed less hair falling out too when I brush my hair so these products DO exactly what they say on the tin.

If you have any more Aussie delights that you would recommend, please let me know

Nailene goodies

Hey guys,

Hope you're all winding down from the weekend and having a relaxing Sunday evening.

Just thought I'd give you a bit of an update on my latest obsession... Nailene falsies!!

As I was off for a family soiree to celebrate my recent birthday I decided to hotfoot it down to Boots to preen my nails before hand.

Here's a peek at the goodies I picked up:

Nailene So Natural falsies in 71000 and Nailene Super Glue 77056

So... for under £10 I now have the perfect manicure!

Although I have read lots of reviews on the internet about the Nailene Super Glue not having the lasting power it states, I beg to differ (this is my 2nd bottle). I've truly put my nails to the test this weekend from doing household chores to fiddly tasks like the car boot - not a single nail has budged out of place! The only down side for me is the bubbles that have appeared under my nails which I think is a result of using too little glue?!

I'm really pleased with the outcome - they only took around 10 minutes to apply and DON'T damage the natural nail like Acrylic nails and Gel nails do.

The false nail market has become so popular in the last few years that there are literally hundreds of designs, lengths and shapes to choose from. I'm thrilled that people with 'petite' fingers like myself are now being catered for and are able to purchase nails that fit without having to file them down to size.

As I'm going to be heading to New York in a couple of weeks I'm definitely going to be on the lookout for more Nailene goodies especially the 7123o's as tried and tested by the lovely Milly - they look perfect for doing nail art designs. If you've seen them available in the UK please let me know where.

Thanks for reading
