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.

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.
<3333
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.
