Marilyn xo

As you all most probably know, MAC have released a Marilyn Monroe collection, and I decided to buy a few items. They had some lovely red lipsticks but I'm not really a red lipstick wearer, so I went for Pure Zen, dazzleglass in Phiff and beauty powder Forever Marilyn. I also got the Nicki Minaj lipglass as I LUURRVVV the colour!

The beauty powder is really pretty. I will be using this as a highlighter.

 

I absolutely adore Phiff, it is so pretty! I think I will be wearing this most days, it really is beautiful, just like all the other dazzleglasses :)

Zen is a sheer natural pinky colour, and it's really smooth on the lips. I wouldn't recommend if you are a fan of bold colours, but a good one to have in your collection!

I think the Nicki Minaj lipglass is amazing, the pink colour is beautiful and it's not too sticky, and it lasts!

I am literally obsessed with Primark so I decided to buy lots of shoes, the trainer wedges are amazing, I could wear them everyday! I'm loving the dresses and the coats at the moment!

 

On the same day I met this little fella Bebe, and now I'm REALLY eager to get a pug!!

 I also bought Mary Berry's Baking Bible as I am obsessed with the Great British Bake off, so I will be baking mad soon! Had to get The Perks of Being a Wallflower, I really want to see the film but people have told me to read the book first. Welcome to Biscuit Land is a diary written by Touretteshero Jessica Thom. I read extracts from it in a review and I fell in love with her! She is so funny. At times I felt awful for her, but she is a really good spirit! A must read :)

 Has anyone tried any of Mary Berry's baking recipes? Has anyone got anything from the Marilyn Monroe collection?

Favourites

Hiyaa. I wanted to do a post about my favourite products and would love to hear about yours too!

First of all I want to show off my new No 7 nail polish which I mentioned in my last post, the colour is gorgeous!!

Anyyywaaays… Let’s start with MAC.

I love the Strobe Cream, I usually just chuck it on when I’m feeling lazy and can’t really be bothered to put on my face and it just lights my face up (just a touch). Yes it doesn’t smell too great as I’ve seen other people mention but it’s bearable. Lipsticks now and I just adore the Viva Glam Lady Gaga lipsticks, I have the nude one and the bright pink one and as we all know, MAC lipsticks are delightful. They are so creamy and smell gorgeous! My next MAC purchase will be Vegas Volt as I just love the colour.

ELF Cosmetics are wonderfully cheap and I love all of their products. I have the Glitter Gloss in ‘Golden Glitz’ and I bloody love glitter! I usually wear it when I’m having a natural face day, with brown/gold eyeshadows. The 2 in 1 Conditioning Gloss in ‘Fanatic is a gorgeous coral/gold colour and it’s not too sticky and lasts! It’s my favourite lip gloss.  The Pout Perfecter is good over a pink lipstick or just natural lips for a bit of extra sparkle. My FAVOURITE product is the Conditioning Lip Balm in Natural, and it lasts and is a beautiful nude colour, I recommend any of these to anyone J I’m sure the next thing is a Natural Radiance Blusher but I can’t find it on the website, but it’s a shimmery pinky/blue colour and I use it for when I’m going for dinner or a date, it’s very girly and I use the Professional Bronzing blush to put it on, fantastic!

Now to the nail polish… the glittery OPI Nicole one I picked up in Westfields in Shepherds Bush and I love it so much, I will deffo repurchase! It is mega glittery. Butter London polishes are just so adorable, I own No More Waity Katie and All Hail The Queen. The bottles are so cute and the colours are just lovely. I really want to get Knackered and Tart With A Heart.

Sooo… it’s your turn to tell me your favourite products!!

Just a quick one.. I’m thinking of dying my hair and picked up this colour.. Thoughts please before I go ahead!!

Have a good day :-)

I love No7

 I've been splurging a bit recently but we girls are allowed to once in a while..

So payday came around and I headed straight to Primark, where I got some clothes for work and found these nail polishes for £2 and they are actually really nice.

I've recently started loving No7 products, and I got these to try as my skin has been a nightmare recently!! I have to say the Beautiful Skin Hydration Mask feels absolutely amazing!

I also popped into Boots to try the foundation match service, and it literally takes a picture of your skin and matches it with the closest colour of foundation. Mine was 'Soft Rose'and the foundation itself is lovely. I got a few other bits aswell, I just love that Barry M nail polish, and I find the Soap & Glory lipsticks smell gorgeous. The No7 bits were 3 for 2 so I got some Pore Refining Serum and my first No7 nail polish in a hot pink colour.

 I also picked up this Fred Perry top from the lovely Lucy who was having a blog sale and would just like to say thankyou again and it fits perfectly!

Can anyone recommend anymore No7 products?

Benefit 'Prrrowl'

I saw a review of this and I fell in love with it instantly. Threw myself on ebay and purchased one for myself. Love it!!

'Walk on the wild side with sparkling peacock-blue lashes & shimmering "look at me" lips. So fierce!

The mascara is beautiful. It's blue and sparkly, I tried catching it on my iphone but you can't see it that well. It would go really well with blue eyes. The lipgloss is a lovely baby pink colour with specks of blue glitter. It's smooth and doesn't feel sticky.

If you are a Benefit fan, be sure to pick one of these up!!

'Lingerie Shopping'

Just a little post today :)

Yesterday I had to go into town to pick up some new trainers, just for walking home from work in. I found these cute pink and white Lonsdale trainers for £17.99 from Sports Direct. I would have splashed more but i'm already in my overdraft after my holiday oops!

I popped into Boots to buy some moisturiser and saw this little lipgloss 'Lingerie Shopping' by Miss Sporty for £1.99, its really shimmery and looks good on the lips, especially when you have a tan! It smells and tastes yummy.

"Gorgeous glossy & candy lips, with up to 5 hours shine. Yummy fragrance for ultra kissable lips"

Mary Kay 'Pink Luster'

One of my best friends mum got a goody bag from the Cannes Film Festival to take home with her which included a mascara and lipgloss (Pink Luster) by Mary Kay. She wasn't too bothered about the make up so she gave it to me (my friends a guy). I have to say I'm totally in love with it! It's a lovely shade of pink, really shimmery (but not too much) and it lasts! Leaves tinted lips aswell :)

"With its sheer coverage, Mary Kay® NouriShine Plus™ Lip Gloss lets you get out of your comfort zone. Go out on a limb and try new shades. You may be pleasantly surprised with the results"
