Here are a few products I have added to my eBay Wishlist this month and will be purchasing for my birthday soon!
Thanks for reading!

I recently discovered this company called QVS which sell cosmetic & nail accessories and also bath & body grooming products. I have seen and used a few of their products before as they sell them in ASDA and I was drawn to their products as their packaging looked so professional and clean and as the products id used where for grooming such as nails and eyebrows, the clean fresh appeal of the products was just what I was after.
I Have been such a bad blogger recently :( I have been so busy finishing my uni work as it was my final major project and i have literally had no free time this past month!
I have decided not to start the BA fashion course next year as i am going to take a year out and venture into the big world with my own little project and hopefully it wont just be a year out it will be a productive and successful year meaning i don't have to return to uni at all :) That's what i'm planning on doing anyway ^_^ x
Here is a little post anyway just to let you know what i have been doing and planning on doing and also a FOTD as i have changed my foundation from Revlon colour stay which i love! and regretfully couldn't afford to re purchase as i was a little low on money last month due to my uni fashion materials so I have had to change to a foundation that was a little cheaper. I am now using the Rimmel 25 hour lasting finish foundation which i think is OK for the time being as its a little too slidey on my combination to oily skin but it is nice coverage. I dont think it lasts 5 hours let alone 25 hours on my skin but i do like how it looks on my skin for about 3 hours and it smells really fresh!
The headband , Earrings and Necklace are all presents from my lovely best friend Katie for doing well in my uni fashion show ^_^ she is such a good friend! And i love the necklace especially as its got an Eiffel Tower on it which is Craig and my favorite place! ♥
Let me know what you think of the Rimmel 25 hr foundation?
Hope your all well and looking forwards to summer :)

Hey! Today im going to be doing a review of the Girls Aloud False Eyelashes by Sarah Harding. My best friend gave me these lashes to try out for my tutorials and i love them. They are really long, full and fab for glam eyes tutorials or going out eye make up looks. They arent at all everyday eyelashes as they are too full for my everyday looks but they are really easy to use and look great! These eye lashes are great if you are looking to wear falsies on a night out or to an event with a dark smokey eye or a shimmery sultry look. These lashes are around £5 from boots!
Here are a few photos of me having a play around with them and recreating the Sarah Harding look on myself .Ive photoshop edited a few of them to brighten my hair but havent at all edited the eyes so you can see exactly how they looked on me ! :) x
Hope you like the look! Let me know if you have tryed these lashes or any of the Girls Aloud lashes and how you got on with them ?
Thanks for reading,

Outfit-
Here is my outfit of the day casual :) its my new asda rose skull print tee and i love it its soo
cumfy and looks really nice on with my jeans and my linens :) x And ive paired this outfit up with my hot pink earings from primarni to match my top and my black flops from primarni also .
Makeup-
My make up is simply my everyday make up, for my foundation ive used my al time fav foundation Revlon colour stay in the shade buff. Then ive used rimmels bronzing pressed powder to set my foundation and to give me a sun kissed glow. Ive also used rimmels quad blusher and applied it to the apples of my cheacks using my mac 187 brush to give me a blushed look not a cakey look to my blushes. And then for the eyes ive used nothing but mascara which was no7 extravigant lashes which is great once you have gotten used to using the square brush as it is quite hard to use without getting it all over your skin. But this mascara is sooo good if your looking for length and volume without clumps and if you have long lashes anyway and you have curled them pre mascara then you will love this mascara its amazing! My lashes look false literally i love it lol !
My birthdays just around the corner so many more clothes and make up hauls to come cant wait to show you all and ive also now just got my HD camera working with some editing software so ill be uploading loads more tutorials to my utube and my blog for you all to see :) cant wait !

This is the eye make up look that im wearing on the pictures of my new hair colour :) i used...
Face- Revlon colour stay foundaion, Rimmel face bronzer, Rimmel blusher quad.
Eyes- the dark brown eye shadow from my newly discovered eye pallet, (pictures above)
Asda George eye liner cream pencil, smudged out useing my MAC 219SE, maybelline the colossal volume express mascara which is great as its got a huge brush with a smaller tip so it gets to the smaller lashes aswell :)
Lips- no products just the foundation from when i applied my face makeup.
Top photo is edited in photoshop but my hair un-edited, its the true colour.
Hope you like this look, ill do a tutorial on the Hair colour box models make up later today.

Today I've done a coral summer make-up look. I wore this look out to a BBQ on the weekend and i loved how summery and pretty it is, its not too over powering for a casual BBQ either its just perfect for an outside summer day/night event.
I found this eyeshadow pallet at my dads house last week ,in my old make up draw and as it was missing the lid to it so i don't know what make it is and i cannot remember for the life of me what make it as and when i bought it , I'm thinking it may be Avon but I'm really not sure :S but the colours are so lush and very smooth on the skin.
Above is a picture of the pallet (lidless) and the swatches. No names sorry as i don't know what it is :(
I used the natural collection corrector eye cream to prime my eye as a base for the eye shadows.
I also used a pencil liner from ASDA George, which is really creamy and smooth so its easy to apply. I would love to say its a mac lipstick i used but its not, its a Boots natural collection moisture shine lipstick in shade rose petal which is a very light pinky coral which i love! its so smooth and looks so nice on my lips which are very dark so it takes a lot to lift my natural lip colour and this does it very well. It costs around £2 and is great coverage and lasting finish is great also.
The blusher colour i used is actually the same eyeshadow as i used on my eyes , it is subtle on the checks and ties the whole look in together perfectly.
The mascara used is no7 extravagant lashes which I've reviewed before on one of my very first blogs. Love the length it gives me and fullness but don't really like the brush as its a strange square shape :S so ... but it looks great!

Think that's all about the products used.. o yeah and the brushes used were MAC.
Thanks for Reading and i hope you enjoyed my tutorial! x

I went on a little makeup updating shopping spree bout 2 weeks ago and got myself a new foundation, mascara, bronzer, Maybelline Mineral foundation, exfoliating scrub and with my mascara i got a free No7 eye pallet.
I was really pleased with this free pallet as its really good quality and came with a double ended eye brush (one end for blending). The foundation i bought was the Revlon Colour stay foundation in Nude for normal to oily skin.
The foundation is great, lovely coverage and isn't greasy at all because its for normal to oily skin, when i was sampling the foundations though i must say i tried the one for dry skin and it was really oily and the oil pored out before the foundation did which i didn't like as it was all greasy over my hands urghh!!.
The mineral foundation i bought because i wasn't sure what it would be like as u hadn't ever used minerals before. It comes with a kabuki brush which compared to kabuki brushed Ive felt before was quite ruff on my skin. I'm not too sure about this product yet as i think the coverage is good but i cant really tell as it takes me several applications to get the coverage i like. So I'm not sure if that is what your supposed to do or what but it doesn't seem to cover unless Ive been applying it for 10 Min's. So i wouldn't really recommend this foundation unless like have been doing i apply my liquid foundation first then go over it with the mineral powder to set it a bit. Doing this achieves a Matt finish and stays on all day.
The bronzer works lovely over the top of both of my foundations, its a Rimmel compact powder bronzer. It gives me a really nice healthy glow and because I'm sooo pail really lifts my completion.
The exfoliating scrub is the Boots own range and it was £1.39 (bargain) . It is great leaves my skin feeling sooo smooth also i get really dry patches around my nose and nostrils and when i apply my makeup it doesn't look very good around my nose as it exaggerates the dry patches and looks awful. So you can image how happy i was to have all my dry patches gone and my makeup looking really smooth and fresh all over my face.
The mascara on another level is amazing . IT makes my lashes look really healthy and long, or should i say Extravagant lol :D , At first i wasn't too keen on the brush because its a square plastic brush, But once i had gathered how to apply it correctly on my bottom lashes without making a mess it looked really pretty and opened my eyes up loads.
Ive posted pictures above of each product, hope u enjoyed reading :)
