One minute your IN, the next you're OUT!!

Hey Girls!

So I still can't find my camera lead! AHH! Where is it!? I NEED to find it like asap!

Anyway here's my recent In's and Out's. Enjoy!

IN'S
  • Lush Porridge Soap- I finally got to go to Lush when I went to town the other day! I LOVE THIS SOAP! I was planning on buying "Honey I washed the Kids" but I was so disappointed with it :( I was expecting the smell to be more intense I think, it just didnt smell great. Maybe I was just overwhelmed with the other smells happening in the shop!
  • MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural-I promised myself that I wouldnt buy anything in MAC until I received my MAC Pro Card when I start college but I just couldnt help myself. Ive been wanting to try the Mineralize skinfinish for a while and it was so worth buying. It really sets my foundation and gives me a flawless finish! A definite Must-Have!
  • Gossip Girl- Best Show ever! It helps all the guys are super HOT! Ive had a lot of free time lately so decided to catch up on some episodes! I was half way through Season 2 when I was doing my exams in May and with being so busy I stopped watching it. But I've caught up now and can't wait to watch Season 3! Heard its not doing too well in the US tho :(

OUT'S
  • 15th October-Its taking so long for that date to come around. The day my Fashion, Theatre and Media Makeup Course starts! I have NOTHING to do until then coz i only work weekends! I just cant wait to get a routine back in my life!
  • X-Factor-I love this show, I do, BUT I am not really liking the people that have been put through! In particular, the guy with the afro, Jamie Archer i think it is, and the bi-sexual teacher Daryl something. Cheesy and all they do is cry!!
  • Camera Lead-Its seriously just vanished! I know its somewhere in the house, I just do not know where! I am literally guna spend ALL DAY tomorrow looking for it! Such an effort!

I love reading other blogger's IN'S and OUT'S so I like doing my own! :) xx

1) "Dior Addict" By Christian Dior

A feminine, audacious fragrance that mixes dazzling floral and woody tones, including pink berries.










3) "Euphoria" By Calvin Klein
A fun, enticing scent for woman. Blends pomegranate with lotus blossom, black orchid, amber and cream.











4) "212 Sexy" By Carolina Herrera
Very seductive blend of tangerine and rose
pepper mixed with floral petals and hints of
cotton candy.

Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah

Just a Random post.
I am REALLY pissed off.
I took loadsa photos for Haul Posts this past week.
I cannot for the life of me, find my camera lead for the laptop!
I remember putting it into the bottom drawer.
It has since VANISHED!
Hence the delay on the Haul posts if anybody cares :)
Also I am counting down the days til the 15th October......
Could it go ANY slower :( BOREDOM!

BY THE WAY.........


Has anyone seen or heard of this show?? "Blush:The search for the next great makeup artist" I was flicking around on Sky Digital, came across a channel called REALLY and this show was on! And of course, with my luck, it was the second last episode! Cant believe it! This is totally MY KINDA SHOW! I've been trying to find episodes online but to no avail :(
But the episode I did watch was SO GOOD! The contestants had to recreate makeup looks made famous by the Hollywood Icons such as Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. It was fascinating watching them make up the models and put their own modern twist into it.

Thanks for reading :) xx

I usually walk past the shop or if I do go in, its literally for a bout 2 minutes and them I'm outty! But recently I've been watching more and more youtube videos and reading more and more blogs all LUSH related and have decided its time for my first ever Lush purchase!! I don't know when this is going to be, I suppose next time I'm in the Lush shop in town! :) So If anyone has any recommendations of what you think my first Lush product should be, I'd LOVE to hear them!

Here are some Lush Products I likey the sound of:







Ma Bar Bubble Bar
Porridge Soap
Honey I Washed The Kids Soap


Any opinions?? xx

Review - NO.7 Mattifying Makeup Base


  • Retails for 14.99 EURO in Boots which isn't too bad compared to some of the prices out there!
  • It's a lovely pearly white colour. The packaging is a decent size considering only a small amount of product is needed.
  • On the back of the tube, it says it can be worn alone or under your foundation however I would not suggest wearing it on its own.
  • Its mattifies the skin the second it is applied. When I first got it, I had no makeup on and decided to try it out on its own which was not a very pleasant experience for my skin :( It's very hard to blend into the skin (which apparently you arent supposed to do??) and leaves the skin feeling rough.
  • SO.....I ALWAYS apply a layer of moisturiser first, leave it a few seconds to soak into the skin and then quickly blend the primer over it!
  • I find foundation goes on so smoothly on top of it with absolutely no shine. It truely does give that matte effect. I use little or no powder as the foundation looks already set.
  • I would highly recommend this product. It is the first primer i've ever used and am interested in any other primers out there if anyone could suggest a few good ones??

Hope this post was helpful! COMMENT :) xxx
