Barry M's lip paints

Hi guys. So I thought I'd give you guys another post. It'll probably be the last one I do today as I have quite a busy rest of the day. But I'll be online through-out to check comments and new posts from followers. 


So, when I was in Bristol recently, I went into Boots and thought I'd go to the 'Barry M' counter, which isn't usually the counter I'd go straight to. I'd usually go for something more like Natural Collection, Collection 2000, Miss Sporty, MUA, Rimmel and I like to have a look around the Benefit counter (not that I buy anything from there regularly). 
If you follow me, you'll know that I'm a HUGE sucker for any lip products; whether it's balms, sticks or glosses. And so I just had to try a Barry M lip "paint" in the brightest colour they do. I have no idea what it's called (leave a comment if you have a guess), but it was the brightest one, so I tried it.


This is what it turned out like:..

And that was it wiped off slightly, so you can only imagine how bright it was before. And I now realise why  they're called lip paints, it's because they're so hard to get off! I wouldn't recommend buying any lip "sticks" from them if you're like me and like stuff on your lips that you know you can get off easily and don't have to go through all the hassle!

"Moonlight Shimmer" @ Newlook

Hi guys. So I thought I'd tell you a little bit about a 4-set gift box I got as a Christmas present from a friend. So nearly a year down the line I decided to test it. 

♥Moonlight Shimmer Soap- I haven't actually used this product yet as I'm a little bit dubious with using soaps on my body which aren't from a specific brand (e.g. Imperial Leather, Dove). However, I've opened the packaging and it smells very scented and quite over-powering. It's texture is the one thing that puts me off of it though because its quite rocky and rough.   

♥Moonlight Shimmer Body Butter- This is one of the products I was fond of. It has a great deal of product in it and it has many uses in that one tub. The one thing I would say about this is that it's got quite a greasy consistency. [More info in 'August Favourites']

♥Moonlight Shimmer Shower Syrup- This is probably the product I liked the most out of all 4! I used it as a bath oil rather than a shower syrup(as it said) and I used the whole bottle within 2 weeks. It smells absoloutley amazing and from using only the smallest bit of it per bath, a lot of bubbles come out of it. It's quite a slimy consistency, but it's not as if you have to touch bath oils and so it was probably the perfect product!

♥Moonlight Shimmer Body Lotion- This is another product I have yet to use, but the smell of it is probably the best from all 4 and one thing I've noticed, not just about this product but all of them, is that they all have the most amazing packaging! 

So that's my review on Moonlight Shimmer products which were sold at Newlook. I'm not sure if you can still purchase them, as I did receive them last Christmas. But I think they were fairly cheap aswell, considering it came in a gorgeous make-up bag too!

Thanks for reading guys. Keep blogging!

Marina and the Diamonds -Burger Queen Tour: 25/10/10

Hello there loves! I hope you've all had an enjoyable start to the week? 
If you follow me on Twitter or you watch me blog closely, you'll know that on monday I was planning to go to a Marina and the Diamonds concert live in Bristol. And I went and it was amazing! It was in Anson Rooms in Bristol and it was on from 07:30pm until 10:30pm. It was the second proper concert I've been to and so it was very exciting as you can tell! I went with Marianne from over at 'My Life' (i'll add a link in the comment box). 

For the first 5-6 hours of the day we went shopping in Bristol town centre and purchased from shops including Zara, Topshop, HMV & Primark. Believe it or not, I'd never been to a 'Zara' before this little trip! The only things I got was 2 pin badges which I thought were so cute, to remind me of Bristol. The first one was sort of Jack Wills based and said "Stay Calm. Make a Tea" and the second one was a Hello Kitty one. We took loads of pictures so if you'd like to see some random Bristol pics then comment below and I'll be sure to put some up. 

When we got to Anson Rooms (via Taxi) the line was SO long it went down most of the road. I would say there was already a good 300 people in that line and more came. When we got in (surprisingly very fast), we were second from the front so we had a great view of what was going on (and great for any raging photographers like myself) there was a kind of front band to we play about 8 songs before Marina actually performed. They were the fabulous The Cock'n'Bull Kid!
They were actually very good and the lead singer had very powerful vocals. The band was also very good (especially the drums and keyboard).

When Marina eventually came on she was talking to us (obviously as a whole room) and she just sounded so genuine and such a great person! She performed about 12 of her best songs including my favourites; "I am not a robot" and "Obsessions". She had 4 costume changes, all of which were absoloutly stunning! Overall I defiantly would see her live again and we both acted like such screaming girls when she came on!
The best part had to be the little shop outside selling merchandise though (what can I say? I'm a sucker for a cute shop) and I managed to nab a 5 side poster which cost me £5. And just as we were waiting outside for my Dad to pick us up, a body-guard came by and told us she was signing down the road. So we were the first to get ours signed. Right now, it's hanging to my bedroom wall. Overall, AMAZING NIGHT!


Don't believe me?

Lip Products I'm loving

Hi girls!

So, this is a post I've been meaning to do for such a long time! It's on my favourite lip products (well, not so much favourites. But the ones I use the most).

The first lip product is a lipstick (the only lipstick in this post). It's from Avon and I think it was around the price of £8. It's in the shade 'Frozen Rose', which is like a pinky-red with a slight sparkle in it. From the picture on the right, you can tell that I have used quite a lot of it since getting it. It's staying power isn't very good; it rubs off quite easily. The colour looks quite frightening in the tube, but it's actually so pretty on your lips if you wear it properly.

Next in my favourites is a lipgloss from the Estée Lauder collection. It's in the shade 'nude' which is very bright on your lips, but at the same time a very pale colour! It's the sort of product that even if it's the only thing you wear (make-up wise) it'll still make you look like you have more on. I think it's probably my favourite lipgloss at the moment from all of them (even the ones that I didn't include in this post).

I actually use this as a lipstick, but it's in actual fact a foundation stick in 'Linen'. I really love this because at the moment I'm into nude kind of lip colourings, and so I use this as either a lipstick which kind of gives this pale look but makes you look kind of refreshed at the same time. It's from the 'True Skin' collection and I don't actually know where you can buy that, so if you know please comment below?

Next is a lip conditioner from the 'Liiv Botanicals' collection. You can only get liiv botanicals from Avon. I think I got it very cheap actually! It was either £1.50 or £2. When on, it has a kind of flavour..maybe toffee, or refreshers? For those of you who don't know, refreshers are a really yummy sweet. The one down-side to this product is that it's quite sticky and doesn't last as long if you have a tendency of licking off the lipgloss as you wear it, like me.

The final things in my favourites are my collection of lipbalms. All of a sudden (over the last couple of months), I've become a bit of a lipbalm junkie! The 3 I've included are;

   -♥Coconut and Lime lipbalm; £1 bodycare.

   -♥Jelly Belly lipblam Watermelon; £2.50 cargo.

   -♥Mango and Papaya lipbalm; £1 bodycare.

I can say that all of these products are amazing buys! And defiantly worth the money you pay for them. I would highly recommend them to any of you that have access to the shops in the UK.

So, thanks guys. That was my newest post. Unfortunatly, I won't be posting any new blogs for a while because in two days, I start school again and won't have much time to do any new ones seeing as I'll have homework and revision to do, and also just getting used to being in a new year.  But be sure to comment-and I will try my hardest to reply to you whenever I can♥!

Top Body Bits(feat. Hand Creams/Cleansers)!

                                       Hey again guys!
Okay, so today I thought I'd show you 3 of my top hand-cream's. If this interests you or you'd like to know more about a certain cream featured, just comment.

[Left to Right-:  Liiv Botanicals Rejuvenating Cleanser, 'You Soft Touch' hand lotion, Jergens Cocoa Butter Body Moisturiser]

Firstly, 'Liiv Botanicals' rejuvenating cleanser. I got this from the 'Avon' Catolouge about 6 months ago and to be honest with you, I haven't really used this at all. I don't really like the actual formula; it's quite oily and if you already have quite oily skin it makes you look just greasy. This can be used on hands and on areas of your face. There's quite a lot in the bottle, but if you use it once a day- it does go very quickly! But for the price, it's probably quite a good amount. But I still wouldn't highly recommend this unless you have very dry skin.

Next is, 'You Soft Touch- Hand Lotion' which is from Dirty Works. This is defiantly a treat to pamper yourself with! When on it gives you silkily soft hands.
It's made with Cocoa Butter and Jojoba Oil, which as many of you may know is a really lovely mix when together. Your hands feel so silky when it's fully rubbed in and they don't feel at all greasy!

Finally, 'Jergens Naturals' Cocoa Butter. It's actually quite a new formula out. It's a body moisturiser, but I mainly use it on my hands. One of the main ingredients has a trace of Vitamin E which is also very good for your skin!

It deeply conditions and doubles your skin's natural radiance. I love this product!

Thanks for Reading, and remember to comment!

What Am I Wearing Today?

Hi guys.
So today, I thought I'd start a blog called 'What am I wearing today?' which is where I tell you what I'm wearing/where it's from ect. So, I'm going to stop rambelling on and just get on with it.

Okay, so on my top-I've just got on a top from River Island, and it's just like a vest-top really. And it's plain grey. It was about £12 I think, and it's a size 14 because I'm usually a 10-12 but I find that River Island's clothes 'tend to be a quite small. So, I get the bigger size.

Then on top of that, I have a long sweater which is my Mum's. And it's actually probably long enough to be a short dress. It goes just above the knee and it's a beigy washed-out kind of colour. It make's me look a bit like a Hobo but oh well, I love it.

Then on the bottom, I have black leggings on which are a age 13 so really not my size but they fit surprisingly. I got them a funny way actually. At the Wilderness we borrowed each other's clothes and so I think these are Ginnie's and I took home 2 of my other friend's top's aswell which were far too small anyway and so I gave those back to her, but I've kept these for some reason.. So yeah, thanks Ginnie! And I looked at the label and it says: 'Limited Edition' which is a Mark's and Spencer's make.

For make-up I didn't really bother putting any on, so just a sleek of 'Estée Lauder' lipgloss in nude.

And I always have these pieces of jewellery on that I have on now;

Pearls with gold bird on, pandora-style bracelet, friendship string with beads and shells from Italy, beads from year5, blue beads from italy, leather studded cuffs and golden locket with red rose on the front.

Teen Choice Awards 2010: Katy Perry's Out-Fit Changes!

I don't know how many of you guys were watching or reading about the 'Teen Choice Awards' in California this week, but Katy Perry was picked to host it. And she done the most amazing job! She tried so hard, and even had 6 out-fit changes through the whole ceremony, which she chose to do herself. 

Also joining her on the stage was a number of guest star co-hosts, including the Glee Cast and so she decided to take on the role of a number of High School out-fit's. 

First of all, she took to the stage as a hippie, then a cheerleader, then a gothic number. 

Then she came on to the stage dressed as a Prom Queen; complete with tiara and sash. Best of all though was her Geek approach that came with big specs and an even bigger pair of braces. This was also a hit with the likes of  vampire, Robert Pattinson. And to finish the night, the final out-fit she chose was a strapless dress!

Festival Fever! (Top 10)

Hi guys. So, I thought I'd do a Summer 2010 Festival Fashion post. So, I've been reading a lot of magazines and watching "T4 on the beach" on t.v recently and I've come up with some 'Festival Fashion' must-have's.  So I'm just going to tell you what they are and why I picked them. [Warning: This might be a long post]

1) Feathers: Okay, so I picked feathers because I don't literally mean you have to wear them, but you can get jackets and stuff which have feather detail on the pockets and neck-line and stuff and so I think that looks really cool. And it kind of also gives a bit of edge to your "festival fashion". 

2)Dry Shampoo: Now, I wouldn't usually use dry shampoo ever, and I'm not really one for going to festivals either, but if I were to go to a festival, like one where you stay in a tent over night or something, I probably would use dry shampoo because there isn't a shower, and it isn't the best look if you go out with greasy hair! And believe it or not, it actually does look like it's the works of proper shampoo!

3)Straw Hats: Straw Hat's are making their way back in this summer. I chose them for this post because they are really cool and their not too big and they kind of go with any out-fit, and I think they especially look good with festival-wear. 

4)Pumps: Long live pumps! I love them, they go with virtually anything, and they're just so cool. You can get different colours, patterns and designs. There's some that I've got my eye on at the moment and they're navy and white stripe and they are £19.99 from Republic. Loving them!

5)Sunglasses: To me, the number 1 rule for Festivals if to always take shades because usually if it's a festival -it's nice weather.. And if it's nice weather, it's sure to be sunny and so they are really the best alternative to getting damaged eyes. Plus, they look really cool aswell. And you can also get them quite cheap from a number of different places. 

6)Denim Jacket: I love denim jackets! And this summer, denim is really making a come-back. It looks so effortlessly cool with anything you wear, and I think it looks particually nice with over-sized sunglasses and a dress-tights combo!

7)Stars and Stripes Hot-Pants:  These shorts are the coolest! From the design to the way the denim frays out at the bottom. If any of you haven't seen what they look like, then you're missing out! If you'd like me to put a link in with this post, please do comment me and ask. You can also get them from TopShop for £32. 

8)Wellies: As many of you will know, most festivals are known for there being loads of mud, and hardly any grass. So I suggest to EVERYONE that you take wellies. Their so comfy and also protect you from the mud and getting any other shoe's ruined and some of them also come in some pretty cool designs. 

9)Bum-bag: At festivals, there's always a lot of things I want to get from there, and take with me e.g. money, iPod, phone. And so the best option is to invest in a bum-bag which you wear like a bag but by your front and it's super-safe and actually can make an outfit look pretty cool. 

10)Jump-suit: I would highly recommend taking a jump-suit with you aswell because they're really 'in' this summer and I think they look really nice with your wellies, sunnies and a simple cardigan. And you can also get some of them quite cheap.

'Outspoken' by Fergie: Review

Hi again. 

I thought I'd do a blog on a sample perfume I received from Avon a couple of months ago. So yeah, I've been meaning to do this one for quite a while now. 

I'm not very good at explaining smells and so I'm going to do what I think of it as when I smell it and also the proper description of it. So here it goes.. 

My Description:It's quite a deep fragrance which to me means that  it's quite strong but it's a really lovely smell and it's not like light and floral like most of the scents I like are. I wear perfume the most for school and when I'm going out anywhere and I don't really wear it at home as much. I do use quite a lot though and so it's kind of nice because where it's so strong I only need to do a few sprays whereas if it was something lighter but I still liked it I'd have to use more of it. I don't think I've ever bought a perfume because of the celebrity behind it but I kind of did for this one because I wanted to see if it was what everyone said it would be because she's a singer not someone that would make a perfume.. and so I tried it and I really like it. I think it's about £8 and I think it's only sold from Avon catalogue but I might be wrong.. 

Avon's Description:"We wouldn't have expected Fergie to do anything like this but the smell is astounding! It's deep and sensual and more intense than a lot of new perfumes coming out recently. The advantages of this product are that it's an original blend of fragrances, it's a reasonable cost, it lingers lovely on your skin and also the packaging and the bottle are really nice. 


So yeah, that's the news on Fergie's new fragrance. So if you want to try it out I'll pop a link below. Thanks for reading guys!

Toy Watches!

http://www.aphrodite1994.com/accessories-5/watches-34/toywatch-watch-light-blue-small-fluo-23515.htm?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=ppc&utm_term=23515&utm_campaign=froogle



Hey there!
At the moment I'm really loving Toy Watches. The one I have linked above is in Light Blue (which is personally my favourite colours when used on these watches). 


You can get them from different places (e.g. Argos) and their often cheaper. 


I like these watches because I think they look good with anything and it was like as soon as I saw them, I knew I wanted one. They are also featured on many beauty reviews on Youtube including 'FleurDeForce's'. And so I think you should defiantly check these out. 


Yeah, so I really like these watches and I'll probably be purchasing one soon. 
Thanks for reading Bloglings.
