Monthly Favourites

Woah March has flown by I don't know if it is only me but seems like it was only the 1st March yesterday and now here we are coming into April already! Yay to the lighter nights now though as nothing worse than going out when it pitch black at like 7pm always nicer when lighter plus you know Spring and Summer are coming!! So as I won't be blogging from tomorrow till 10th April as going back down Kent to catch up with my family and friends I will do a couple of blogs today starting with some of my faves for March

 EcoTools make up Brushes- Now I only came across these when I was in London and thought would give them a try and OMG I love them, the bristles are so soft kind of like velvet I found myself sitting in the front room the other day just stroking it up and down my face like some div! But they apply the make up so well and are so easy to clean, I got the Deluxe conceler brush,Angled eyeliner brush and the eyeshadow one to start with.



Models Own - These are some of the new ones I blogged about and I have been wearing these ones the most i adore Champagne and Mystic Mauve, but for more summer look i love the Golden Peach, and you just can't go wrong with Purple Ash love them

 Rimmel London- Needed some new eyeshadows and seen lots of good reviews about Rimmel London so gave these two a go I got Precious Rose, and Smokey Quartz and love the smoky quartz for a nice shimmery finish to a smokey eye look will defo buy these again.

Garnier- Know i blogged about these recently so I wont waffle on too much but they just had to be in my March Faves and are a must have for any one who loves a good moisturiser and self tan one as well.

Books- I am such a book worm and love nothing more than a good read, Recently have bough sooo many books and then at the weekend I bought this The Last Letter From Your Lover by JoJo Moyes have never heard of her before, have you? But seems quite good! And then Sister I finished reading back in Feb but it is such a good book a MUST read I could not put it down, and other books i bought this month include 'Stolen,Forgotten'- both by Susan Lewis, oh and chasing dreams bu Susan Lewis,the woman he loved before by Dorothy Koomson, and Vanishing Act by Jodi Picoult.

What are your monthly faves for march? Any new products have tried out? Any good books you have read?

OOTD And Little Haul

So on friday I am going back down to kent ( where im from) to catch up with family and friends so can't wait have already booked a table at gorge seafood resturant for mothers day and got mum her presents yaay I love my Mum so much we have had our problems when I was a teenager but now really are such amazing friends and whilst shopping I found two amazing sheer blouses one is a peachy colour and then the other is a creamy/white one with short ruffled sleeves and the peachy one has long sleeves. Today I thought I would wear the creamy one to work and just chucked a pair of levi jeans on with it and got quite few compliments about it saying how nice it is.

Excuse the moody face and awful hair this was taken at 7am this morning and i am not a morning person lol.

After work I popped into Debenhams to pick up a new lipstick and after errming for ages I picked the beautiful Benefit 'Shy' and it is AMAZING the packaging is so bloody cute and the lipstick is so silky smooth and applys so easily and last wearing

Cute Little Card what came in the box with Lipstick

Benefit 'Shy'

And then i came home to dinner all cooked waiting for me thanks to Nathan and the gorgeus bunch of tulips as I love them and he always suprises me with lovely flowers such a lucky girl

And today I decided to go with Mystic Mauve for my Nails I love how shimmery this colour is I can't decide which i prefer this or champagne?

Do you own any Benefit lipsticks? Which are your faves? Been on any shopping sprees recently?

What are you doing for Mothers day?

TAG - MostReached For Beauty & Make up Items

Recently I have seen a lot of these tags on You Tube so thought I would do one on here and i tag anyone who wants to do it. Here are a few of my most reached for beauty and make up items


Skin and Hair Care

I absolutely LOVE Garnier products I swear by them I especially love the Summer Body Moisturising Lotion as builds up a nice even sun kissed glow to the skin, and have got the intensive 7 days and am already nearly through the whole bottle amazing stuff. Also the Garnier Anti-Crenes eye roller is incredible when my eyes are feeling tired and gritty i roll this underneath them and instantly makes my eyes look more awake. And then  everyone loves nice shiny hair hence why i love this Charles Worthington  salon finish gloss spray.

This Rimmel blush is so pretty and lovely gives a really nice flushed look to my cheeks,also has a nice sparkle to it and so easy to apply this is the second one i have bought and will defo go back for more.

For my eyes I'm pretty lucky in the sense got quite long eye lashes but can never have enough volume that's why I love volume flash so easy to apply,never ever clumps and really gives such good volume to your lashes it's the one mascara i always buy, and i love smoky eyes so this is one of my favorite eye shadows- Bourjois 'Gris Delicat' it a deep silver colour with a lot of glitter in it and it just so smooth and creasless i love it.
Then last month i got the Maybelline  Lasting drama eyeliner it's a little pot and comes with a brush and at first i thought it was going to be too dark but it just right and literally just glides across my upper eyelid love it.

These lipsticks l-r are Heartbreaker,Sweetie, Pink Blush and pink blush is my everyday lipstick at the min especially when it a nice sunny day i love it, and on a night out most recently I have been using sweetie which is a vibrant red which i used to be scared to wear but now i love it the sweetie one is the middle one on the swatches piccie.

OMG this foundation is incredible it is so light it doesn't make my skin feel clogged like some foundations have in the past and it the most perfect match for my skin tone. And then Nail polishsI am obsessed with Models Own but i thought this week try some new ones out so I got Rimmel Sky High which is an amazing colour for the spring/summer and Miss Mole from GOSH which reminds me of chocolate milkshake ha ha and i love them both the Miss Mole is going to be everyday colour and looks really elegant on such a nice shine to it. Both of them dry really quickly.

So there you have it there are my most reached for beauty and make up items. i TAG you all and if you do them leave a link in my comments box so i can see please.

Have  a fabulous weekend everyone.

Instead Of Judgemental Be Helpful

So today after work I was carrying a lot of stuff to my car and in our car park it backs on to a load of shops and there are sometimes a group of homeless people who take shelter I have never had any problem with them apart from tugging of my heart strings BUT i never give them money as they may spend it on alcohol etc but i always make sure i give them food instead I find it more helpful? Anyway I was stepping off the pavement and my foot kinda buckled underneath and before I know it i was falling arse over tits into a busy car park with cars coming and going then before I knew it this sweet homeless man had flown through the air and grabbed me to stop me from falling well i was so gratefuland couldn't thank him enough the next thing i know some young lad has come running down the road yelling at this guy ' oi you filthy tramp f**king get off her god knows what she will catch' he then said he was gonna phone the police as ASSUMED the homeless guy was attacking me it made me so MAD that just because someone is homeless he instantly thought he was mugging me.

After telling the lad what had happened and thankfully he apoligised to the homeless guy who I will name 'Frank'  I had a lovely chat with frank I won't go into details about what he told me as not my place but he told me why he was homeless and his circumstances and I must admit I did actually shed a tear or 20 i am such a cry baby and soft hearted person I always want to help everyone and I know I can't but still doesnt stop me from wanting to and i HATE people who walk round judging others i mean please SOD off who do they think they are walking around thinking they are better well they not end of the day does their sh*t smell of roses or soemthing?

Yes I know some people dont help themselves and put theirselves in situations where they will end up homeless and penniless but some people dont  decide to be homeless and can't help it sometimes things happen in their lives which they can not control it doesnt mean they are bad people just real bad luck and it hurts my heart that people can be so cruel and nasty I obviously know their are homeless people who have put theirselfs in that place and obviously that is down to them.

I just don't think it is right to judge people just becasue they are homeless, who are we to judge without knowing the situation? I defintly now will help homeless people more often anyway I can from working in soup kitchen on some saturdays etc .

What are your views?

☺ NOTD ~ Mint Chocolate

Wow I have not done a NOTD post in what feels like forever and my insomnia has kicked in so I thought I would do one of these, Recently I got GOSH Miss Mole and Miss Minty and I have to say i love love love them both the minty one is such a lovely summer colour i think and then the Mole is a chocolate brown and so nice and shiny and so easy to apply which for some1 like me who never has a steady hand is a god send

 Miss Minty I love that it is a nice cool blue/greeny colour

Was messing around earlier and used both Miss Minty and Miss Mole and straight away it just reminded me of Mint Choc Chip ☺ think they work well together

Miss Mole a nice shiny chocolate brown shade

What colour nail Varnishs are you liking at the min? Any one else suffer from insomina? Any tips on how to beat it be much appreciated!
