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!
