New Book in the post :)

Hey guys's

So recently while reading blogs, I came across a really cool site were you can get products for very cheap, or free but you have to pay for Post and Packaging. Sadly I can't remember who the blogger was to credit them:(. But anyways you can check it out here at Shop4online.co.uk

Now this site has everything from beauty products, book's, dvd's, house hold items etc. I had heard good reviews from the author Jane Fallon, so I thought I'd get a book. Plus It was free so all I had to pay was £2.70

Ok so, i cant really give a review on the book as i only got it today and so far I've only read the back lol, but it seems like a good read :). Has anyone read any of her books before?

 I look forward to reading it. And now that its getting warmer again in England, I'll hopefully be able to  read it in my garden out in the sun.

Or has anyone tried this website?
Shop4online.co.uk
If not i recommend it :), I mean who doesn't like a bargain? lol

Make ur own Lip tint/balm for Cheap

Hey Guys
Happy July :), I cant believe its july already this year is going so fast. or is it just me?

This year bold, colourful lip's are in fashion. Every colour is in, aslong as it makes a statement. Celebrities and models on the catwalks can be seen rocking colours such as Red, Nude, Pink, Purple and even Blue on their lips.

And as you all already know keeping up with what's 'In' can be pretty expensive. Especially if you want to get more than 1 look.

This gave me this idea to make a D.I.Y Lip colour, as I love to save money when I can, so after trolling youtube i came up with a recipe that I liked.

What you will need
Proteleom jelly or Vaseline
Bright coloured Eyeshadow
Vitamin E Oil (or any of your choice)
Lip balm tubes
Mixing bowl
Spoon
Something to scrape with

How to do it
Melt vaseline
Mix in oil of your choice (optional)
Pour mixture into lip balm pot
Scrap eyeshadow into melted vaseline
Mix well
Place in fridge to harden or leave it and it will solidify itself

NOTD: Designed by my friend :)

Hey guys,

So my friend came over my house today for a long awaited catch up session. While she was here I persuaded her into doing my nails :) (which is something she has no experience in lol).

She used my nail dotter, with a black art pen, a pink by HOT and a taupe and glitter nail varnish from Glam. Ans here are the results.
I love them, especially since she has never done nail designing before, I think they came out great :)

Hackney weekend

Hey

I've been super busy the last couple of day's i've had uni show's, job interviews and been catching up with friends. Which explains the lack of post :(. But i should be more regular now =D. 

     So last weekend I went to the Hackney Weekend show on the sunday.  It was AMAZING, I had so much fun even though I was ankle-high in mud and ended up throwing away my trainers :'(. There was so many acts, great food, and the weather was great most of the day. 

I didn't take many pics but here's a few from the day

And here's some of the acts performing (not the best quality) 

Did anyone else go, if so how did you find it?

I hope everyone had a great week

Brightening Face Primer by Benefits Review

Hey guys

So I recently got a sample of benefit's Brightening face primer free in my glamour magazine earlier  this month. I've been using it for the last two weeks as a base under my foundation and now feel its time for a review. 

So it say's you can "wear alone or under makeup for the look of bright, smooth skin." Which I feel is very true. I've been wearing it under either my Sleek liquid foundation or my Marykay foundation and it has done wonders. This has become a new must have in my makeup bag :)

Why I like it

• I have been getting compliments about my face glowing :) 
• It really does give my skin an even look, which means I can use less foundation.
• It also helps keep the foundation looking intact all day. 
• Its light, and leaves your skin feeling very smooth.
• And the best bit about it is that a little goes a long way. 

I will defiantly be purchasing this once my 7.5ml freebie is finished.

Afro Hair & Beaty Live 2012

Hey guys
So its been a great 4day weekend I've been having due to the queen's Jubilee, went to alot of street parties which gave me a reason to wear my Union Jack leggings :). I also went to the Afro Hair And beauty Live show, during this bank holiday. This was really good fun. I Learnt a few tricks, got some tips and a bag load of freebies :).

While I was there I got a free facial and a makeover by Mary Kay.

There facial was amazing. It Left my skin feeling very smooth and gave it a flawless look. They sort of teach you rather than just give you a facial which I thought was very helpful as it allows you to get the same results at home.
     They then did a foundation match and gave us a free makeover.
I really liked their products and wanted to buy everything, but as I'm not super rich :(, I brought there Foundation as it was the best match I've ever had.
      This is worth £16 but i got it for £14.40 as they was doing a 10% discount on that day.
       They have great products, i really recommend them, You can get more info on their products here


The olive oil stand was also doing a great offer, I got all these goodies worth over £25 for only £5. As I love a bargain I couldn't resiet :). As I don't use Gel or a relaxer, My mum gets a treat lol. But i'll be defiantly putting the rest to good use.

some free hair samples
I got during the day

Here is some highlights from the event, Including an amazing hair fashion show and some hair tutorials.
