Where Have I Been???

Thursday, June 23, 2011

Hellooo

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 :)

Up We Go.... 5200Ft!

Saturday, April 09, 2011

Hellooo,

Thursday Craig and I were treated to a Virgin Hot Air Balloon Flight which was absolutely amazing! I hate fair ground rides, flying in planes and wasn't sure if i was going to like heights or not but i LOVED it!

It was the most amazing experience and to be sharing it with the most amazing boyfriend in the world was just great!

The pilot briefed us before take off and said that we should get to between 2000-4000ft and we got to 5200ft which is a mile straight up! It was such a lush evening as well as we flew about half 6 till half 7 and it was sooo sunny!

Could'nt have wished for better weather.

It was a bit nerve-racking at first as we both weren't sure what to expect from it and We all got allocated jobs to help the launch of the balloon.

Craig got the job of making sure the cold inflation was done correctly by stearing a huge fan and i got the job of a ballast with the other women lol haha weighting down the basket as it was on its side ready to lift up and everyone else jumps in. I was very scared as i was lying on the floor in the basket with my back to the balloon's hot and cold inflation process and the noise was loud and close to my head lol.

It was sooo much fun though!

Once we'd got up in the air the views were amazing and Ive got loads of awesome photos to share with you!

The landing was so much fun as well as it landed on a hill in a random field and banged down 3 times and dragged along the floor before coming to a stand still which was fun :)

Ill also post pictures of the skid marks in the grass from our landing x

I defo recommend going on a hot air balloon ride if you get the chance as its brilliant and such a life experience! So glad we've done it now , and I can safely say I'm not at all scared of heights hehe x

Thanks for reading!

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara review...

Saturday, October 09, 2010

helloo again , I recieved this mascara from my lovely bf craig as part of my birthday presents and i asked for this mascara as i heard lots of good reviews and comments about this product and wanted to see what all the hype was about for myself.

I LOVE this product , the hype is all because its AMAZING! If your looking for instant thickness, fullness, mega length and curl then this is the mascara for you! its every girls dream as far as mascaras are concerned. I also received the Falsies by maybeline off my dad and that mascara is amazing for fullness and volume but not as good as the Accelerator for length and also looks less naturally fabulous than the Lash Accelerator. I cant say enough about this product as its truly awesome! will defo re purchase when this one runs out. The mascara states ...

The advanced ultra-lengthening formulainstantly makes lashes appear up to 80% longer.

Overtime, the unique Grow-Lash Complex strengthens, nourishes and renews lashes to promote natural lash growth for up to 117% longer looking lashes after 30 days.

And it definitely does what it says on the tube as it defo makes the lashes appear up to 80% longer as one stroke of the wand and I actually said ' OH WOW!' Out loud to myself in my hall way in the mirror haha. I ran straight up stairs its Craig getting ready to go out and just stared at him and he said straight away despite the staring haha he noticed straight away they look naturally longer and not clumpy and think as some mascaras I have tried before. I cant vouch for the Grow-Lash complex yet as its only been a week since my bday but is will defo keep you updated in the next month or so on how it lives up to what it states x

Hope you enjoyed this post, have you tried this mascara yet, how do you like it?

Thanks for reading!

MAC

OOTD: Rose Skull Top!

Tuesday, August 31, 2010

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 !

Thanks for reading ,
