Happy Birthday

This post is a special HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my little sister Emily. She is my best friend. We don't see each other everyday anymore but we text each other all the time! I hope you have a great day and I'm looking forward for tea tonight.

I Heart It

Recently I've been loving looking through photos on We Heart It. I found this one and I think it's totally me. I wanted to share it with you. 

I think everyone should always wear your invisible crown. If you have ever seen the movie A little princess you will know that every girl is a princess. I also love this models hair. 

Do you have any quotes or pictures that inspire you?  

She said beauty October

I love getting a beauty box but this month was such a let down. I came extremely close to cancelling next months but thought I'd give it till December. 

Here's what I got. 

Cellnique advanced bio renewal masque, B.liv off with those heads, Herbacin wuta kamillie hand cream, Biao beauty rejuvenating night cream, Palmer's coco butter and a packet of Myvitamins. 

The only thing I can really tell you I am happy to see is the hand cream. The rest I'll try but I can't say I'm overjoyed. I really don't like the Coco butter it literately took me a few weeks to get rid of the bottle I bought I might give that away. 

When I first received my box the B.liv off with those heads had leaked all over. I had to clean up all the other packaging as it was all sticky. I email SSB about this and they sent me another B.liv sample out. Their customer service is fantastic. 

Did you get a she said beauty box? What did you think of this months?

Essie Cute as a button

I got this while on holiday this summer and it was my first Essie polish. I think this is my all time favourite. That is a very big statement to make as I'm a die hard OPI fan. I pick this up as I had left half of my holiday polish's on my bedside table at home. After the utter panic of thinking I had lost them all I decided to buy some more. I love everything about this polish, the bottle, the formula  the colour, the stay power and the brush. I've heard a few people on blogs have said how the formula of Essie polishes have changed. This is the new one as I have Essie Mint candy apple and it is no where near as good as this one. 

I had this on my nails for a whole 7 days and it didn't chip at all. I was so impressed. I used nail envy as a base and Essie shine on as a top coat.   

This was just after application. 

This was after 4 days application. I really think it is the best for long lasting. 

Have you used Essie before? What do you think? 

Moroccan Oil Treatment

If you asked me this time last year that my favourite hair treatment would be an oil I would probably of laughed at you and said no way. I really didn't like any idea of an oil at all. However this is amazing. My hair was in good condition when I started to use it but it is like red carpet hair now. Well maybe that's an exaggeration. But my hair really does feel so soft and smooth. 

When I bought this all those weeks ago I hadn't actually heard that much about it. My hairdresser told me it was good and you only need a tiny bit to work. That was about as much as I knew. I ordered the 25 ml bottle from look fantastic and I thought it was pretty expensive for hair care. At £12.85 it is worth every single 1285p. When it arrive it really was tiny though. I'm not sure what I was expecting for 25 ml but the box seemed really little. I love the colour and the glass bottle it sits really nice with my other products. 

Just a little taller than a Mac Lipstick. I apply this to damp hair after I've come out the shower I towel dry my hair and use my tangle tease and brush through. 

I use a tiny bit. It's really all you need to make your hair smooth. I noticed on the first application how much it made my hair silky soft. I wash my hair every other day. I used to use the oil every other day too however I've found the best way is using it every other hair wash. So every 4 days. 

Have you tried this? 

Night out on the town

On Friday night I headed up to Newcastle for a few drinks. I had pretty much thought all week about what to wear and thanks to Catrine at Unnakednails I decided on this outfit. 

Sorry for the concentration in my face here. 

I wore my trusty M&S shoes again. When I know I am going to be doing a lot of walking on a night out these are my shoes of choice. I actually have shorts on but I guess you can tell as i have my bag covering them. 

And here's my face. I have OPI my private jet on you can see my swatch here. My lips I had a mixture on of my Revlon just bitten in Crush Brguin and Mac Ladybug on top. 

Hope you had a good weekend too. Roll on the next one as I can feel this is going to be a long week at work. 

Feel good Fridays

On Friday I finished work like normal and had full intentions on going to M&S to get some food in for the weekend but Boots literally forced me into their shop I am holding them 100% reasonable for these goodies. 

When I pulled up at M&S I saw 3 for 2 in massive gold and red letters and thought well it wouldn't hurt to have a look. Well it did.  

The Garnier moisturiser is actually a repurchase. I used this while on holiday and my family ended up loving it too so it was all gone by the end of the holiday. It doesn't exactly last 7 days but it does make your skin feel silky smooth. 

Stay Matte Rimmel London. I picked this up in shade Silky beige. I've never really used any of Rimmels make up. I bought this instead of buying Macs mineral finish. Hopefully it'll do the job just as well. 

Collection 2000 concealer. Everyone in the blogging world raves about this. I don't actually need a new concealer but I really wanted to try it. I got this in medium.

L'oreal Super Liner in Black crystal. I haven't used a liquid liner in years and a few weekends ago when I was getting ready to go out I got an urge to put liner on my lids and my Mac gel liner has dried up. 

Revlon Just Bitten in Crush Brguin. I actually wanted the L'oreal lippy that Cheryl Cole wore on last weeks X Factor but of course it was sold out. This was a pretty similar shade. 

I picked up 2 Real Techniques brushes. I got the Setting brush (pink one) for my highlighter and the lash-brow groomer as this morning when I was getting ready I really couldn't of done with one. 

Have you used any of these products before?
