My Review:

I've always had issues with dark undereye circles, especially first thing in the morning so i was happy when Natalie offered to send me the New Garnier Eye Roll On. I put mine on first thing in the morning when i can see the dark circles have appeared. The roll on applies and covers brilliantly, i'm fairly fair but the "Medium" is perfect for my skin tone and covers it flawlessly. It lasts throughout the day, keeping the bags/shadows perfectly concealed and gives that instant refreshed feeling. It's became my new handbag essential and something which i will continue using, it's even replaced my normal eye concealer.

Rating: 9/10

Available from: Boots

Price: £9.99

Weekly Round Up.....

In's:

* I had a smear test at my doctors a few weeks back and i received a letter a few days ago stating that i needed to go the hospital to see a specialist as they had found abnormal cells. My appointment as already came through for 3 weeks time so hopefully all will be sorted and fingers crossed everything will be okay. It just goes to show how important smear tests are, so any of you ladies out there who are due a smear test, please don't put it off and make sure you attend your appointment. It's best to be safe than sorry.

* I have a day booked off work next week to go shopping with my friend, woop can't wait. Hoping to get those items from my "wish" list; a new charm for my Sweetie Bracelet, a few MAC products, Jeans, Dress, DVD..... and so on ;).

* Had a nice Valentines day :).

* I've had a new TV/Dvd for my bedroom, love it.

* Going out tonight for meal/cinema :).

Out:

* Stupid, bitchy, immature people. I find the best way is to ignore, ignore and more ignore, i don't waste my time anymore on insignificant people.

* Being ill :(, i ALWAYS seem to catch everything going, i'm recovering from another cold yet again, boo.

Beauty Quiz

1) Who's beauty style do you admire? I like the natural look without appearing as though you've tried too hard; Kate Hudson, Jennifer Aniston and Cheryl Cole always look fab.

2) What one item is your essential make-up item? I'd say Mascara, definitely something which i wear every day. At the moment i'm using Maxfactor Lash Extension Mascara.

3) What is your most essential hair styling tool? GHD's most definitely, love,love,love them.

4) How long does it take you to put your make-up on in the morning? A few minutes max, i only wear Mascara for work. For nights out i obviously spend a little more time.

5) What's your skincare routine? At the moment i'm using Clinique Facial Wash followed by Clinique Clariying Lotion. If i need a moisturiser as i have sensitive skin i use Aqueous cream. For my body i alternate between The Bodyshop Body Butters (Coconut is a fave) and Soap and Glory Body Butters.

6) How often do you get your hair done? My natural hair colour is dark blonde but i have lighter blonde highlights put in every 6 weeks or so. I also have a trim/cut at the same time.

7) Plucking/Threading or Waxing? Definitely threading, i like the finished result and find it gives my eyebrows a much better shape. Inbetween appointments i use my Tweezermans to pluck out any stray little hairs.

8) Favourite Fragrances? Princess: Vera Wang, Coco Chanel: Chanel, Ghost Original, Ultraviolet: Paco Rabanne, Hugo Boss Deep Red.

9) Favourite Cosmetics Brand? At the moment i'm liking Urban Decay. Love the MAC Brushes too.

10) What is your favourite drug store brand make-up? Maybelline

Just thought i'd do a quick post with a few of the items which i bought yesterday:

Large Grey-ish Coloured Bag from Warehouse:



Nude/Lace Tops from New Look, so pretty on:



Clinique Clarifying Lotion (I bought the Clinique Face wash last week and loved it), Soap & Glory Heel Genius, Barry M "Pink Flamingo" Nail Polish:



Patent Black Pumps and a Printed pair from Primark:



I alo bought Socks, Underwear and Jeggings.

Hope my readers are all having a lovely Valentines Day xx

British Fashion as lost one of the best.



RIP Alexander Mcqueen xx

I bought a new facial wash today:



I chose Clinique as i've heard good reviews of their skin care range and my lower end brands just wasn't cutting it. My sister bought the same too. I've used it for the first time this evening and so far so good. The liquid was gentle to the skin, felt great and gave my skin a thorough clean which left it feeling soft and refreshed.

I got mine from Boots and paid £13.

Also:

Grey Pointelle Cardigan from Miss Selfridge, i love this, much better irl:



Taupe Strappy Dress from ASOS, will wear this when it starts getting warmer, plus will be great for holidays too:



I've also bought some basics, long sleeved jersey tops, vest, camis and leggings, both from ASOS and H&M, great for basics!!

Hello everyone, hope you've all enjoyed your weekend :). I've lost my blogging mojo at the mo hence my lack of posts, but i'm sure i'll get back into the swing of things very soon!! For now i'll leave you with a quick summary of my in's and out's:

In's:

* Hopefully booking a few trips abroad in the next few weeks or so

* Had a fab night out last night and best of all no hangover this morning, result

* Love my new Iphone!!

* I've done a couple of days overtime these past few weeks so should receive a nice little extra sum in my end of month pay

* Ordered a few bits today online

* I've been more organised with my finances since new year and haven't been spending as much on those unnecessary buys. I've got a planner too which as helped keep me more on top of things; appointments, lists, finances etc. It's called the Life Book and it's from Organised Mum (don't worry non-parents, you don't have to be a mummy to use this one) one of the best i've used!!

* Drinking more water!!!

Out's:

* Rude people, grow up and learn some manners....

I've recently had the new Iphone 3GS 16gb:



I love it!!! At first i was a bit unsure of it being touchscreen but it's so easy to get use to, much, much better than a standard phone. If you're thinking of getting one then i would definitely recommend.

Also i've tried the mascara which i posted about below, will be writing a review shortly.

Hope you all have a nice weekend xx

MaxFactor Lash Extension Effect Mascara

MaxFactor Lash Extension Effect Mascara



I normally use the MaxFactor False Lash Effect Mascara, although popping into Boots this afternoon to replace it I noticed the new MaxFactor Lash Extension Mascara. Both retail at the same price of £10.99 although at the moment Boots are doing a promotion in which you get £3 off the newly released Lash Extension, I paid £7.99 for the Mascara.

I love the False Lash Effect Mascara and have found it to be one of my best Mascara’s to date, trust me i’ve tried lots from the higher end of the market down to the more less expensive brands so I hope this new one is even better than my previous, we shall see……

Keep your eyes peeled as I’ll write a review once fully tested.
