The best lipstick....EVER

I know that the title of this post is a very big statement especially as I am a major lover of mac lipsticks. But seriously. Sometimes when I'm at home alone I try this lipstick on just cos I love it SO much. Sad I know but it's true. I am of course talking about Mac Rebel. I saw this on quiet a few blogs and I thought I'm just going to have to try it. So one snowy cold morning in December I logged onto Debenhams website and to my delight they had 10% off. So I paid £12.60 and got free delivery. This is a bold move for me as usually I would never buy anything without swatching it. The delivery only took 2 days which I was really impressed with as it was free. It of course came in the standard mac packaging which of course I love and I couldn't wait to swatch it. As I was at work I did it on my hand and oh my god. I was shocked. At first I thought I am never actually going to wear this. However when I went home I tired it straight on my lips and I fell in love and I've never actually looked back. It's a beautiful dark plum. I wore it on my Christmas night out with my friends and it lasted all night. I did still apply it as that's just the kind of girl I am. Have you tried Rebel? How did you first find it? (Please excuse the photo of me. It was one of those. 'We took pictures last night?' moments when I saw it)

Top 12 beauty products of 2012

It feels like forever I haven't blogged. I've been so busy with work....house work and a social life that I feel like I've forgotten my secret love of blogging. Well I'm back and feel like I have a million things to tell you. 

I thought a good way to break it back in is my top 12 of 2012. It should of been top 10 but I just couldn't pick so I made a decisions to increase the number to 12. 

2012 what a year. I feel like I've blinked and I've missed it. It was my first full year in my house which I totally have loved. It still feels mad that I live here but I've got used to saying home is my new house and not my actual parents home. I went from being 21 to 22 and generally had an amazing time. 


On to my beauty products.... 






In no particular order, 

Clarasonic Mia  
HOW someone please tell me WHY I waited till September to put my hand in my pocket and buy this? It is my favourite part of my skincare routine and my skin doesn't feel clean unless I have used this. 

Urban Decay All nighter 
This literally keeps my make up stay put all day. I use it every day now and couldn't imagine my make up routine without it now. 

Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation (pebble) 
This is a rediscovery, whilst on holiday I had misplaced my MAC studio fix foundation and I ran to the shop on board the ship (I was on a cruise) and the lady recommended me this one I hadn't used it in a long time so thought why not. Then I found my MAC foundation in my bag. This is actually my second bottle and I just find this foundation makes my skin look healthy and natural. 

OPI Nail Envy 
This is so versatile. I use it as a base coat, a top coat and a nail treatment. My nails know when I haven't used it in a while. 

OPI My Private Jet
I 100% have Catrine from Unnaked Nails to thank for this one. This has been my 'go to' colour. If  I don't know what colour to paint my nails. This is what I go for. 

Garnier Body moisturiser 
All summer all autumn and all winter this has been amazing it has kept my skin so soft. 

OPI Hight intensity hand and nail cream 
Soft and silky and this is how it leaves my hands. 

L'oreal self tanning mist
The lazy girls tan is the best way to describe this. When I just can't be bothered to whip out the latex gloves (to apply my lotion tan) I just spray this all over my body and it really is the best lazy tan result no streaks and it's all even. 

MAC blusher Plum foolery 
This has been in my life for over 5 years. Yes that is the long relationship I have ever had with anything EVER. But it is my all time favourite colour. 

MAC pro sculpt in Pure Sculpture and Accentuate 
As you can see I've hit the pan and I haven't got a back up. I love sculpting my face and trying to look like Kim K but it never works. If anyone knows of anything similar please let me know I need to have something similar to this is my life. 

What are your favourites of last year?

Last Friday night

So last Friday I headed into town for a few drinks and a meal. Well the few drinks actually turned into me being out all night and having a horrendous hangover on Saturday. I thought I'd show you what I wore. Sorry for the funny faces. I went curly wurly with my hair and tried to keep my make up light as I really didn't have much intention of going out.

My top is river island and skirt is topshop. I hope you like my outfit.

Where have I been.

Hello everyone.

It feels like an age ago I last blogged so I thought I'd tell you where I've been....WORKING. The last 2 weeks I was on holiday cover and doing my own job as well I was working 7am till 8pm. Long long days. I had no time to do my usually lunch time blog surf either so I feel so behind on times. Always a few weeks ago I was involved in a car crash where my beloved BMW X5 was written off. Luckily everyone was ok. However I really hurt my arm resulting in my not being able to move it. I have a scar on it now but so relieved I walked away.

Hopefully now my job will settle back down and I'll have chance to get back to blogging. I have a October favourites to come. I know it's really late!

I'm looking forward to catching up on all you're posts in the next week.

I found this photo on We heart it on Saturday and it really reminds me of me and my little sister, Emily. Hope you like it.

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?
