Late night early morning online shopping + Being Brokeish or tight? :/

hiyaa <3

just wanted to give you all a quick update.

(by golly its 3:15 am?!)

basically i havent brought myself much that pampers myself recently so i decided. yep im gonna do it. 

GASP!

buy myself stuff.

seems rediculous cause i buy, and review stuff and make haul posts.

but in all honesty i rarely buy myself stuff.

im super tight and it makes me think i am really broke sometimes when im not.

(i must have been an jew in my previous life. oo burn)

so ive got to pull my tights up and start buying stuff regularly, in order to fight the battle of tightness

i mean, i need new clothes badly too!

(dispite most clothes in shops atm are shit- soz for my french)

i think i worry too much about money, incase something bad was to happen.

my boyfriend is 'going' to get me a ps3 slim this year, and its gonna be a boyfriend finance. so im gonna be paying him back in intervals cause i still want to know that i have money there without taking a huge chunk out and being like, noice one! haha. bless him though, he understands.

so i just brought

MAX FACTOR LIPSTICK IN SKINNY DIP 020.

(creamy nudey pink for olive/tan/med tones) woop! excited about this. i have no 'apparent nudes'

what i mean by that is the nudes that look like nudes. cause i have nudes that look like lipglosses, and more of a mlbb which is not always the point of a nude isit ladies :]

& Another pair of cultured pearl earrings , i have akoya but guess what, they have decided to hide themselves..... sometimes when i lose things i love i go into a Bill O Reilly freak out mode

I'm quite tired now, but

Your boss will hear more from me soon.

Same Lipstick, Different Packaging Same obsession! No7 Lipstick + swatch, KANYE WEST SPEAKS! + RANT

(: Long time no see, jk lol

my second post today i hope you all arent too mad with me, but i had too much to say!

I'm basically going to be reviewing 

NO7 Moisture Drench Lipstick 

In Shade -20 Starshell with SPF 15.

I'm going to start to review this with a boots description

"

No7 Moisture Drench Lipstick now has a new and improved formula that nourishes your lips, making it our most moisturising lipstick. It keeps them smooth, soft and full with colour.

• Hypo-allergenic
• Fragrance free
• SPF 15 "

i think my favourite lipstick deserves a little novel, please bare with me + read on <3

How my Obsession Started

I brought one of these last year spring time for a neutral type colour that will suit my olive skin.

it arrived days later in the post and i tore that packaging like nobodies business sat down and swatched the colour on the back of my hand, didnt amaze me, but it looked nice.

I then smothered it on my lips and noticed how dry my lips were before

so it took a day or two before i decided to scrub my lips with a toothbrush and homemade scrub (will show u how to make one in the future on my blog) and then took to the mirror with lipstick in hand to apply onto my newly babysoft but sore looking lips, i again smothered it on and noticed the colour was a lot different than the day before, it was more nude. but maybe it was just because my lips were awful looking the days before.

from then on i started using it practically every other day of the week and a lot on the weekends.

i got the lipstick very cheap from a wholesaler that buys from boots.

so i decided i'm going to get more, so i got another.

i still have the first lipstick and its not even empty yet so it shows you just how long these last.

i then brought another that i proceeded to give to my mum who also loved the lipstick who nearly stole another of these from me. so i decided to buy her another colour for her bd so i could coax her onto it so she didnt steal mine. (although i brought her one lol strange woman).

i got her shade 'chic' but i could be completely wrong as it was a while ago.

she wears that shade all the time, its almost as if no7 has taken over her life.

so recently i found the lipstick again because it had hidden itself from me 

(probably cause it knew i was gonna use it all)

and then decided i needed a new lot because i hate using half gone lipsticks on ones i love

brought it again from another cheap wholesaler.

and when it arrived i noticed the packaging was different.

checked on the website and indeed they changed their formula which seemed why the packaging also changed.

PS CAN I JUST SAY, NEVER BUY FROM BOOTS WEBSITE IF LOOKING AT THEIR SHADE CHART, IT IS STUPID AND NONE OF THE COLOURS LOOK LIKE ONES YOU WILL RECIEVE. JUST A WARNING I DONT WANT ANYBODY TO BUY AND GET A PINK LIPSTICK WHEN THEY ORDERED A BROWN. (whoever did the colour chart is a massive retard)

Here's a picture of the lipstick on my lips, it looks more pink here but i can assure you its more nudey peach. you'll love it

between the two on the lips they both feel and look the same.

so let's get down to business with the pros and cons

Pros:

the shade is almost a MLBB shade.

i would say it was almost a nude but a peachy one.

its a shade that would look gorgeous on all skin tones!

has no scent or smell to it thank heavens :)

Can be cheap if brought elsewhere

one of the best lipsticks you'll have in your collection

very moisturising soft & gorgeous.

SPF 15 is better than none at all

Luxurous lipstick that lasts a long time.

CONS:

PRICE if brought from boots directly it will set you back £10.00 while this isnt breaking the bank its too much for my tiny brain to conjile therefore i leave a lot of expensive brands away unless they are immediately affecting me i.e facial cream,wash & foriegn brands. 

have some ££ at the ready if you use lipstick up fast!

COLOUR CHART ON BOOTS.COM IS ABSOLUTELY ATTROCIOUS KILL IT WITH FIRE    

  you will need to find swatches and reviews on peoples blogs to find out the real colours & shiz

its easy to make mistakes with a moist lipstick especially if you get a deep colour.

i love this lipstick and will time and time again purchase it before i find a better one.

I also love Loreal colour juice lipstick in PERSONALI TEA. but its discontinued and im having to find weird measures in securing these babies. so i cant say its my all time favourite like no7 has been.

you should def try it out! especially if you can find it cheaper elsewhere.

5 hearts

Perfect & goes with anything.

Just questions for you <3

have you tried any no7 products? if so what ones? do you find boots website reliable? cause i dont -.-

Also a little rant.

Today i got slightly annoyed with my hair colour, im trying to fight my natural tone of red in my hair (No im not a redhead at all, ive just got naturally warmer hair so by counteracting it with ash it eventually comes back) its super annoying and i really want to dye my hair dark again but the last time i done that was ages ago and my hair went horribly dry and stuff ewww.

so anyway what really irked me is the fact while searching for hair colours that would suit olive and tanned skin

. i came across very punchy individuals that decided.

NO YOU CANNOT HAVE ANY COLOUR HAIR THAN DARK BROWN & BLACK.

Cause your mediteranian or olive, or tanned.

wtf? its almost like its racism but about hair colour, i dont get it.

Nobody would have the audacity to meet lady gaga, beyonce, jennifer lopez, & gwen steffani and tell them all to change their wigs? so why do people think they have the right to tell you what you can and cant have as a colour on your hair.

im very boring with my hair colour, and have been roughly between 4 shades for the last 3 years and i think its time i do something new.

you can tell someone you think a colour would look better on them than another ofc thats honesty

but telling someone NO YOU CANT CAUSE YOU ARE OLIVE IS PURE RUDE

my moral of the story is

You can have whatever hair colour you want to have, if its for fashion or you think it brings out your features.

stop looking for other peoples opinions like i did. i really think it sucks people behave in that way.

& EXPRESSING yourself is one thing that is always suppressed. and i think this world would become a better place to live in if we all did our own thing.

hope you have enjoyed this post.

i'll be back in no time with another review ladies. follow, favourite or keep checking back

Here i am! HAUL + A CHEAP/FREE NATURAL WAY TO SAY GOODBYE SPLIT ENDS

Hellooooo everybody <3

I've decided to make another post cause' i havent made one in quite a while and felt like im negelecting the blog.

I'm trying not too, ive just had trouble deciding what to post next because i have a lot to show & tell ;D

What i have today, is a few posts in a day, sorry if you feel like i am spamming your following list.

I'm very bad at organising myself. so 2 or 3 posts today on my blog

however, in this post, im gonna share with you the goodies i have brought in the last week.

i was trailing around work on saturday and i decided to pick up a hair,nails,skin suppliment. as im runing out of hair care nutrients by life plan

seeing as it was on half price and i get a staff discount too. so bargain.

cant say where i work for obvious reasons because i dont want to promote it.

but if you look closely in the picture you'll see where i got them from.

The pills are the long kind that i hate, and the smell and taste of them are very sugary, and leaves a taste in your mouth that u may not be able to bare, i nearly threw up at work after taking them. washing it down with 'skinny cola' didnt exactly help either lol.

but hey ho! it's my hair so im taking these for as long as i can suffice.

i also brought on the far right, 'japanese magical eyebrow set' from ebay uk which came with free eyelashes. and 5 eyebrow stencils, all which i found to be way too 'thin' for me too use, and i came to the conculsion that my eyebrows suit me the way they are. so yeah :') im still contemplating using them and im going to wear the lashes out sometime.

i also brought clear complexion tablets for my KP i dont have acne so im wondering if it will help at all.

i got these on clearance from my local 24 hour supermarket.

lets see if they work i'll keep u updated ;D

I also got dr organics tea tree oil facial wash, which is about £6.10 i think but i got staff discount so it cost me less. so far it seems to be drying my spots and shrinking them but that could be the effect of either one of the items im using, although the facial wash hasnt broken me out or anything bad and lathers really well so spot on!

I now want to show you a neat treatment i have been using on and off for the past few months.

the natural or free recipe for your hair,

and the main ingredient you ask???

DRUM ROLLLLLL

COCOCOCOCONUT OIIILLLL

You can probably find it in your kitchen if you use it for cooking,

IF not you can do what i did and stumble across a spice shop and buy one.

Set me back £2.49 which is hardly breaking the bank and for 500mls you are getting more value for your money than buying a cheap crappy 'deep treatment' from the shops which has CEMENT in it. (yes actual cement) although they will give it a more appealing name in the ingredients list

Yes girls coconut oil, you've probably heard of using it before on hair, 

but to get a really good result dont buy the clear kind.

always buy the white kind which hasnt been fractionated or processed to make it clear.

Coconut oil is brilliant for all types of things, for your skin, your hair your bones, your bodily functions, your health, for food and even helps ibs sufferers.

So how what does it look like and why does it help?

So, this coconut oil is white and is hard in a pot.

The best kind to get is coconut oil that slowly melts on body heat.

So if i take some of this out, and place into my hands the heat from my hands will slowly melt the oil.

not dramatically, but easy enough to spread.

on contact coconut oil will melt and spread on your skin and hair clearly if its already melted before you place it on .

it helps by moisturizing with its high protein and fatty acid content

and how to make this lovely coconut oil into an oil is as follows.

Take a Table spoon or desert spoon and scoop out 1, 2, or 3 spoonfulls and place into a bowl or glass pitcher

once you have done that, you can decide weither to add another emolient, such as organic shea butter or mango butter (if you have it) to make it extra special.

for myself i leave it with just coconut oil

Now add a chosen oil to the mix, such as Extra Virgin olive oil,  Organic Avacado oil  I have used extra virgin olive oil (or if your feeling experimental soy sauce, which has high amino acid content but smells lol). ive measured the ammount to put in with a cap. although you can put it in straight from the bottle.

now all you need to do is, mix the contents together in your bowl or pitcher, (dont worry it doesnt have to be melted to be mixed) just make sure, you mix it and then you can decide weither you want to use straight from the bowl or to melt it using a cap full or shot glass of boiling water (depending on how much oil you've used).

I chose to use my fingers to melt the mixture, and then apply to my hair

that way you know that you are not losing any of the nutrients or fatty chain of acid.

and will result in smoothe silky hair.

This of course is an easy tutorial, but some people can make the mistake of using coconut oil on dry hair which is not good as it will cause build up if used too much, unless your hair is super damaged and you are expecting to wash it soon i dont recomend.  Only put this on towel dried, semi wet (from hot water) hair, as hot water opens the cuticles, so by letting the coconut oil in you are getting more of a better result.

leave on for as long as you like, i recomend 30 minutes but if your struck for time or only using a little ammount try just 10 minutes with your hair wrapped under a towel and using a hairdryer to warm the folicles.

also dont forget to store your coconut oil in a Dark dry place, such as a kitchen  dont use the bathroom, your coconut oil will go stale quick like my old batch OOPS ;D

FORGET ARGAN OIL AND OTHER BAND WAGONS (AND THE COMPANIES THAT GO ALONG WITH IT TO RIP YOU OFF), GO FOR SOMETHING CHEAP NATURAL AND HAS BEEN USED FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS ON SKIN AND HAIR!

please dont use this if your alergic to coconut oil although rare, just like anything. do a test on your wrist or back of neck, if you have had reactions previously to coconut.

Hope this works for you & please give it a try if your hair is in desperate need for a deep treatment.

my hair grew last year after i used coconut oil on my hair and no heated tools for 6 days, it grew dramatically couldnt believe it really, but its stiffening my belief in that it does do what its supposed to do.

i brought this new batch so im using it after every hair wash :)

lots of love may continue today with an extra post, i dont want to annoy anybody tho

IM BACK! Mini Review: Must Have Holiday Items + more

Hi all! hope your all having a great day,
as you may know, im back from holiday now, on the last days it was raining -.-
but thats life, i had a break nothing more nothing less.
Im greatful for it, but it would have been so much better somewhere like Hawaii or something.
Anyways, I'm gonna show you all 5 of my must haves, and 5 'just for fun items' i took with me.

-Must haves-

1. Tea Tree Soap 2% (Vegetable based + natural) from my workplace,
I suffer with what im led to believe is Keratosis pilaris, which i have on my face which is the more rare type
i only noticed my skin changing feb time, when my mother was diagnosed with a skin condition she couldnt remember the name of.
and a month or two after i got the same thing, on my face like hers, it's not acne. although some people may assume KP is acne
KP comes from an excessive form of keratin in the skin (basically the building blocks to good hair, skin and nails).
It's heredatry, so yay to my future kids lol!
It doesnt go away, and im using a Tea tree soap and exfoliating every 2 or 3 days (because im aware of over doing it).
Exfoliating has seen an improvement in my mums face.
and also sort of dying down mine. although they are still there more spread out tho.

I throughly recomend this to anyone whos face is blemmishy or suffers with KP.
This is a natural, cheap soap which has more Tea tree in it than any other soap on the market.
so more power to us :D

also i took Barry M nail paint in Coral! which is a gorgeous poppy colour which suits olive, tanned, and deep skins so well.
Im olive (my mother is a dutch blood italian and all kinds of things mix lol) so i'm olive, although not like the actual fruit :')
it really looks stunning, its very cheap too!

Also i took Calypso Deep Tan bronzing oil which has SPF 30+
I NEVER EVER EVER use spf under 30 unless its winter ect, because no matter how cloudy or frosty it is, theres uva rays.
so imagine when its actually real hot weather, you need more protection!
:D i love this oil because its light, not streaky, gives u a beautiful glow then a tan.
and is very buildable. and cost me only £4! bargain

the next product i took was STILA oil free sheer colour tinted moisturizer which is supposodly has spf 30
but the product itself doesnt have the logo on the front
but its meant to be a different packaging.
It's a great tinted colour, the shade i got was medium because theres no stila counter anywhere near me. so i had to buy online
and medium light is a very universal colour for me,
because its not too light, and its not dark,
its just a 'pale light tan' and blends into my complexion very well.
has never broken me out and provides me with the best 'natural look' i could ever hope for.

last but not least out of my musts i brang My hair care nutrients by life plan.
why? well my hairs in bad condition and has split ends almost everywhere you see.
i very rarely hot style my hair now unless i have to.
and i am doing a treatment every 3 weeks and washing my hair less (as water damages the cuticle)
i am also using a splitender by talavera which is working well.
these tablets, have lots of nutrients inside.
such as biotin which is a common ingredient in most hair suppliments
and others.
Ive seen a growth in my hair but that could be down to absolute anything.
I stopped taking sea kelp suppliments from work.
because these have enough iodine in it to protect my thyroid in case of another biohazard event regarding japan's disaster.

Other Fun items:

In my other pic, i brought with me my
Nude heel platforms

Parissa Wax strips which are super super nice! best strips ive ever used

NO7 starry eyes a beautiful gift i got for my bday last year,
i use the gold colour a lot! its so pretty!

My Green Opium looking Shisha or (Shesha, sheesha, hookah) whatever people call it ;D
i'm slowly getting addicted to smoking non tabbacco soex the charcoal really calms down my breathing and i usually sleep well that night i smoke.

and my insence sticks, i brought the stubby versions with me but they're the same brand and scent.
the smells gorgeous and my mother loves it!

i hope you have all enjoyed this post
I have a request from you!
a question whats the 5 favourite things you like to take with you on holiday?

(: comments appreciated.

much love

Calvin Klein Delicious Pout Flavoured Lipgloss Review Swatch on Lips + Update !

Hi Guys :D 

Just going to give you a short little review on
Calvin Kleins Delicious Pout Lipgloss in Colour Fiesta 403?
I'm actually rushing this a little as im packing for my holiday and
i want a really devine sleep tonight cause we'll be on the road in a few hours.
Anyway back to the review :D
I'm going to start with a sumarized product description from the internet
all i could find online was this

"Delicious Pout adds a transparent, weightless shine with a hint of flavor that is so sparkly, so shiny and so utterly gorgeous.

This delicious gloss, enriched with a subtle flavour is formulated with vitamins E and C.

Dermatologist tested "

And heres my SLR taken photo of my ck lipgloss

I do hand on heart believe this formula is a good one for damaged and dry lips as vitamin e helps to soothe and moisturize.
I work around vitamins so it's a really good formula coming from somebody who knows
But.....
Just like most other glosses it has unsavory ingredients that appear on the back.
that doesnt bother me too much, but if your paying extra for a quality brand such as CK.
(which is a quality brand, i'll explain later why i think so with the foundation).
you'd expect to see less chemicals in it? no? maybe its just me :'(.

I wear this lipgloss sometimes like at work :)!, but i prefer to layer it over a nude for a glossy effect.
The shade Fiesta Is pictured as a bright corally fuschiaish colour.
and theres flecks of gold and glitter in the gloss itself (suitable for warm toned skins :) ) which you can see through the tube.

Sounds so amazing right?! :D
But... sorry guys, i swatched it on the back of my hand and suprise! the gloss has little to any pigment in it.
no point at all to swatch to anybody as you will not be able to see anything otherthan a slight gloss and minimal gold shimmer.
So the colour expectation completely goes out the window.
Not a problem at all if you was expecting something sheer.
as it really is sheer, more like a MLBB (my lips but better) what you could expect from any clear gloss with flecks in it

Now for the consistanty,
the consistantcy of the gloss is a medium-thick almost jelly type sticky application,
The tube can confuse you into thinking its a twisty, but its not you have to pull it,
And application of the product is tricky as you will need a brush or something to get a less Jello Look to your lips.
I hate that look, but if you like it im sure its not a problem at all :).

and last but not least,
The flavouring side of the lipgloss.
Well, what can i say i dont eat my glosses lol?
but the 'flavour' is a bland chemicaly organic smelling one.
Mine smells a bit like watermelon but if you get some on your teeth by accident.
(ive done this several times cause of the tube shape).
You will notice that its a bittery chemical taste D; and you wont like the scent or much of the texture again



Heres a picture of me wearing it on my lips, its so sheer it wasnt worth a hand shot. 

So i'm going to End with my main end point review.

Good points:
Vitamins C + E to protect your lips from free radicals and also helps with moisturizing your lips much longer than conventional 'jello' like glosses.
A BIG 12ML (0.4fl) WORTH OF PRODUCT! which is enough to send you ladies drooling as many lipglosses contain as little as 2-5ml these days.
Scent not too overpowering and certainly isnt the icky floral type scented type.
Can be cheap so low on $$££
Very suitable for teenagers, the workplace and formal events.

Neutral points:
Flavoured, as some people hate it and some people love it.
Melon Scent.

and now for the not so good points:
Not a good colour pay off at all, very sheer which is disapointing if you brought for the colour in the tube
Can be expensive depending on if CK is not on offer in your country.
Normal medium type sticky formula which can irritate people like me with longer hair
Overal
I'd say its a quality product with many good ingredients that some brands do not contain
and is worth the money i paid for it.
not going to buy again seeing as theres little to any colour pay off, and i'd rather try my luck elsewhere.
So i'll Give this product

 3 out of 5 hearts, Rather good but not lovely

have you tried this gloss? do you recomend another brand?? :D

love to hear from you <3 x

PS: might be a while till my next post as i said im holidaying, i will get straight back down to business once im back though! i'll be back next weekend <33 keeped locked in for more of my posts.

All you need to know right now is that im obsessed with products and physical things you can hold, which means just about anything can enter my house at any given time and i end up seriously broke from it :D
