After a very very LONG break, I'm hopefully back to blogging. So much has changed in my life - my interests, my outlook, my boyfriend, so looking back on old (cringey) posts makes me want to delete them!

But I cant bring myself to destroy memories.

Picture heavy post alert.

Burts Bee's Lip Balm and LUSH Space Girl

2010-02-18T12:23:00.000-08:00

I recently purchased the Beeswax lip balm in the stick and the pot.

I like the stick verison more because it's easy to apply and store in your hand bag but I much prefer the tub because of the gorgeous minty taste/feeling/smell.

The Stick has the desinct honey aroma which many people don't like.

I like it and i find it moisturizes my lip a teeny bit more the pot.

The Minty feeling definately puts the pot in the lead.

I adore this lip balm.

Definate repurchase.

From Lush I bought the brand new Space Girl bath bomb.

I wasn't blown away with this product but I didn't feel like i had wasted my money.

The smell was AMAZING. Like blackcurrants.

The Glitter didn't stick to my body luckily but it did stick to my scalp. I wouldn't recommend submerging your hair with this bomb. Like others...

It left my hair greasey in the morning and with tiny bits of pink glitter.

I did smell very strong and my skin felt replenished.

Have you tried these products??

What's In My Bag?

2010-01-17T12:38:00.000-08:00

This is my TOPSHOP Real leather black holdall. It retails at £35 and it is a much loved christmas present from my Nan.

The flash on the photograph doesn't do this gorgeous bag justice.

It's very much matte black.

The brilliant electric blue lining looks stunning. The gold clasp at the front really makes this bag so pretty.

It also comes with a longer strap to clip to the sides for over the shoulder wear but I much prefer to hold it in the crook of my arm.

In My Bag :

1) an apple lip balm from paperchase. I apply this to my lips when they arent chapped as I don't feel that it really helps them greatly, but it just smells incredible.

2) Max Factor Silk gloss ( the name has worn off ) I love this gloss. It looks very natural but with just a hint of colour. Its not sticky and holds well.

3) Purple Parker Pen. My only complaint about this pen is that it's annoying blue and not purple.

4) Vaseline is my go to lip balm. I love this rose scented version as it really highlights your natural colour and protects your lips from the recent harsh weather.

5) Bright Floral mirror from octopus, this was a lovely birthday present from my friend Amy, It truely is the best mirror I've ever had.

6) Samsung Genio, My perfect little phone has the looks my a blackberry but fortnately not the price tag. I have it in canary yellow.

7) My dirty looking I-pod Touch (ew) I love you Toni.

8) Toni's USB stick so I don't lose it and mine is broken anyway.

9) Extra gum in Cool breeze

10) 1/4 of a packet of polo sugar free mints

11) Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Nail polish and strengthener .

BUY

THIS NOW!!

12) My house key complete with nectar card, tesco clubcard, teddy bear key charm, Sparkly handbag key chain and funky key!

13) My Well worn leopard print purse that toni found. I adore this purse.

Hope this doesn't bore you too much.

Hair Envy

2010-01-10T10:09:00.000-08:00

I am a firm believer that Emma Rigby's hair is the most amaizng hair on the planet.

It Looks UNBELIEVABLE all the time.

A much needed update!

2010-01-07T12:25:00.000-08:00

- Amazing New Year. so happy that Toni didn't have to work in the end even though he ended up paying for a ridiculously expensive taxi when he didn't need too. grrr.
- Amazing Christmas. I received many a great present including a cute little new phone, hair dryer, some decent straighteners.. not that I use them much, a goregous scarf a mini elf haul and much more.. The Best present by far was my ipod touch from the boyfriend. I love him very much.

I got high hopes for 2010.
I've started cleaning my face differently because I'm incredibly fed up with my shitty skin.

If It works I'll let you all know about it!

Things I'm Loving :
- The Snow but not when its launched at your face wiping your makeup off and slipping straight down your top.
- Taylor Swift very childish but she's an amazing singer.. I just which she's sing some mature songs..
- Having an Ipod again!
- Changing my room around, Its feels more lived in now.
- Above Suspicion on ITV1 tense or what!? sad it's over. ( Itv player for anyone whose missed it ) I recommend it.
- Beatles rock band! Enough said.

Things I'm hating :
- shitty skin
- After growing my nails and having them look pretty amazing( if I must say so myself) having them all snap off and starting again.. grrr
- School! I cant wait for 6th form
- NOT DRIVINGGGG
- A certain ex friend.

Christmas Present Funds!!

It's been a while since I've blogged but I've been incredibly busy with all types of coursework.

I'm really skint at the moment and I just cleared out my room and found a few items I didnt need anymore.

I'd be incredibly thankful if you'd have a look as most of my items start at 99p or lower.

So White Bath Bomb - Lush

2009-11-09T13:03:00.000-08:00

This Bath bomb was fairly cheap at about £1.75 from my favorite shop of all time LUSH :)

The lovely lady from lush ( I must get her name ) who know recolonizes me told me that this is the only bomb to have bath melt pieces in to create bubbles!

I popped the bomb into my warm bath water as instructed and the lovely fizzing noise started as It bobbed around happily in my bath. I let it 'melt' then took in out when it was the size of a golf ball ( this bomb is one of the christmas editions so it's smallish anyway ) I wanted to use it a second time.

The water smelt instantly like apples and relaxed me alot.... but other than that I wasn't thrilled.. The pieces of bar were barely visible. BUT I did get out of the bath smelling fresh,clean and feeling relaxed after scary maths GCSE revision.

Over all I wouldn't buy this again.. but I'm still happy with my purchase :)

Love you Lush!

Nails Inc and Daddy O - Lush

2009-11-05T11:10:00.000-08:00

I recently bought Elizabeth St by Nails Inc which retails at £10.50 but I got it free with Glamour Featuring the beautiful Leighton Meester on the cover.
You can get them in 4 different colours including, black, red and a darker red.
I love this colour! I have annoying short nails and I hate them! My boyfriend does like false nails so I have to do with out. But this colour makes my nails appear a lot longer and healthier. I love anything nude *sniggers* so this glossy polish is perfect for me. It looks professional and neat.
edit.
I've been wearing this for a week now and It hasn't chipped once. I do lots of art and textiles work which would normally cause general wear and tear on my nail varnish.. This has stayed perfect! I also pick at my fingers and push the cuticles back - bad I know.. but this hasn't damaged it either!!

I haven't tried daddy o yet, I got a sample when I visited there store.
It's recommended for blondes or grey hair and smells like violets!
I'll do a review for you guys when I've tried it.

Lush Marilyn Hair Treatment Review + Soap and Glory Flake Away plus exfoliation Mit Review

2009-11-01T09:49:00.000-08:00

(Mouthful of a title!)

The Lush Site says:

Chamomile, lemon and saffron brighten blonde hair. Use it regularly and get fairer hair. Linseed mucilage results in softer tresses and fresh, organic lemon juice adds a ton of shine. If you always wanted to be a "natural" blonde, here's how to go about it.

I've already got natural bright blonde hair but this seems an excellent way to maintain it!

I used my half of sample size, the ladies in lush say to use half a normal size tub for long hair but my hair is very thin so that much product would of made my hair greasey.

I left it on my hair for 20 minutes.

Whlist I was waiting for the magic to happen I shaved and exfoliated my legs, ( Don't get confused - the pink tub is S&G and the smaller white one is the sample of Marilyn) I used soap and glory's Flake Away It looks quite horrible buts smells amazing. It contains Shea Butter,Sugar,and Peach Seeds (yummy!) I'm lucky enough to have two pots of this lovely stuff :)

I applied the product to my damp legs and then began to massage the scrub into my skin in circular motions, Introducing the Exfoliation Mit!

It's very large and very pink *sniggers*, all over the surface are raised 'dots' which help to flake away the dead skin on my legs! So smooth and they smell amazing.

I love these products I would describe them a HG products!

Back onto Marilyn! I then rinsed out the product and towel dried.

I blow dried my hair normally with a tunnel brush and velcro
rollers.

These two pictures show the glossiness of my hair after wards!
I adore this product, my hair is manageable and silky!

4 Stars!!
Are you thinking of buying this product?

Like my Dressing Gown? :)

Lush BIG Shampoo Review + mini haul

2009-10-31T06:52:00.000-07:00

I've read many Reviews about this product all good!

I decided to ask the lovely lush ladies for a sample before I bought it, The Pot was very small and I didn't think there would be nearly enough to properly shampoo my long hair,
In the end I used less than half of this tiny pot and had so much lather it was unbelievable! The Chunky 'salt like' grains massaged my scalp and a powerful fresh scent was left!
Absolutely beautiful!

I blow dryed my hair as I normally would in order to give a fair review.
The results were spectacular My hair was left smelling amazing, HUGE, and fluffy ( the good way) Totally made my hair feel luxurious!
I adore this product and will definitely be purchasing it again!

Mini Haul...

My mum bought me more birthday presents but I think I'll save those till the 18;)
I bought a beautiful coral pink nail polish called Highland Mist for N07! I love the colour and after just one coat left a glossy smooth surface.

Then I picked up Vaseline with rose and almond oil, fantastic texture and consistancy that leaves you enough colour on your lips and enough moisture. Smells Great!
