Products I couldn't live without

Hello ladies!!!
This blog post is about products I can not live without and which I reach for nearly everyday.
I really rate these products to all off you!

1. This is REVLON COLOR STAY foundation, which I use in shade 220 Natural beige/combination oily skin. Retails for around £11 and can get it in any drug store.
The reason I love this product is because it gives me fantastic coverage, and will last all day.
Also my skin is Oily and most foundation will give me a shine throughout the day, but this doesn't do that. It gives me a great finish without the shine.
2. This is LOREAL PARIS VOLUME SHOCKING mascara, I have used this product for years and I always go back to it. It is the best Mascara I have ever used, it gives fantastic length to my lashes, and also volume. It retails at £9.99 and can get it in any drugstore.
This mascara would make an impact to anyone lashes and I feel this is one of the best beauty products I have ever used.
The only down side is, I go through at least one a month, it doesn't last very long and also dries up very quick. But I am not to bothered about that as it is such an amazing mascara.

3. This is MINERALIZE SKINFINISH NATURAL by mac, I use shade medium plus, This is a great powder to add more colour to all over your face, also keeps oily skin matt and makes foundation last longer. This retails for around £20 and It is a great products, and last for ages and I use it every single day, works well with my revlon foundation.

4. This is COLOUR CRAFTED lip stick by MAC. This is the best colour lipstick EVER, I love it soooooo much and I am so gutted it is limited edition. It is sold out everywhere I go, I wish I had got back ups. When you first look at the colour you think is just your usual baby milky pink, but when you get it on your lips. It is the perfect nude pink for the lip and goes with nearly every look. and will suit every skin tone. If you can get your hands on this, GET IT!! Retails for around £10.

5. Last but not least is BOI ING industrial strength concealer by benefit, I use in shade 02. This concealer will cover up everything, dark circles, redness, spots. And when you use it on spots it doesn't make them worse either. I love this concealer and use it everyday and also for touch ups throughout the day. Retails at £15.50.

Alex Curran - WAG

Ok girls....I know we moan and slag off WAGS, but i perosonally think fair play to them.

I mean who wouldn't want to be married to a footballer, have loads of money and not have to do a "proper days work", and be able to buy whatever you want.

I really like Alex Curran, I really like her style, and find she always looks lovely. I am so in love with her hair as well.
Here are some Photos below:

REVLON REVIEW

A couple of weeks ago Revlon got in touch with me asking if i would review some of there products and i agreed to it of course! and i was very excited and flattered they had got in touch with me. They sent me 4 packs of fake nails and 6 packs of fake eyelashes.

I was so impressed with the packaging (sorry the photos aren't the best) it looked smart and high end, you wouldn't think it was a drug store brand.

I asked a girl I work with to test some products out for me and let me know how she got on with them, as she loves her fake eyelashes and nails :)

we put a set of the fake eyelashes on first, they looked so lovely, really natural couldn't tell they were fake. Jess also said they felt really light compared to other lashes and that she couldn't feel she had them on.

We put the lashes on at 9am and she still was wearing them at 5.30pm and also on her night out that night. So the glue that came with the lashes was really good and lasted very well.

There are a few pictures below off the lashes on, without any mascara on.

The next thing to try was the fake nails, and to be honest in the past I have never been a great fan of fake nails you can stick on yourself. But I have to say I was very impressed with these nails, they are easy to apply and looked really good on.

We put the nails on at the start of the day and going to see how many days they last for.

People were also asking Jess if she had her nails done at a salon, so it was positive feed back straight away.

I will let you know how long the nails lasted for, I also posted another set of nails to a friend and she is going to trail them for me.

I like to see other people's input on the items.

I have also worn the fake eyelashes myself and have to admit i love them, they stayed on so well and gave such a great look ( i didn't have a camera with me, so couldn't take a photo).

If anyone wants anymore info on these products, please just leav a comment and i'll get back to you.

thanks for reading guys :D

BYE BYE Benefit

As some of you know (if you follow me on twitter and watch my YT video's) today was my last day at benefit cosmetics!

I was kind of sad to leave, but also in a way happy to starting something new and fresh.

I love all the girls i work with and i really had the best store manager in the world. (you may be wondering why i was leaving LOL)

And they got me some cute little gifts and they really showed they cared because everything they got me, i had shown them in shops etc that i liked them and wanted to get them when i got paid and i open them up and they had got them for me.

They said i still have a main present to come, which is so nice of them. (at my leaving party)

so the first picture, the flip flops are from accessorize and they are £12 (they are super cute)

2nd picture, flip flops from peacocks £10 and the necklace also from peacocks (not sure how much it cost). also i included both the goodbye cards i got.

I'll miss the girls so much, but excited about my new jobs :D

Nail Art

Today I needed serious cheering up (if you follow me on twitter you will know why) so i went along to the nail shop and got my nails done all pretty!

I know fake nails are really bad for your natural nails, but i am hooked on fake nails (been getting them done for over 2 years now, none stop).

She did a great job, and i love the nail art she did.

picture above...let me know what you think :D

BOYFRIEND LOVING

I just wanted to give a shout out to my lovely boyfriend Tshekedi (above a picture of us together), some of you will know my boyfriend is in the army and is serving in afghanistan at the moment for 7months, i miss him greatly and today he has been away for 5months.

I wanted to just let people know how amazing he is and brave for being in the army and serving in a war. I really wanted to just share with you my love for him and what a fantastic job he is doing.

I don't think people in the army get enough cerdit and just what they have to do for us and our country, they are putting there lifes on the line.

I miss him more and more each day and love him so much.

He will be home very soon, which I am so happy and excited about.

I love you tshekedi xxxx

does anyone have any family or friends in the army?

please check out the webiste help for hero's they do an amazing job!

MY NEW BAG

Hey everyone

I was rushing to work today and i had to stop as this amazing bag caught my eye, went into the shop to have a closer look. I had to get it!

Its PINK of course, with gold detail on it and also a crown charm hanging off the bag (which kind of reminds me of juicy couture., which is a brand i love).

This Bag has my name all over it and i am super pleased with it :) :)

It was £25 which isn't bad.

It was from a little shop in a town near me, can't remember the name off it which is so unhelpful.

Let me know what you think off my bag? i know it won't be to everyones taste but for myself i LOVE it!!! xxxx

ASCOT 18th june 2009

I wore an outfit which didn't break the bank balance, and felt really good in the outfit until my shoes started to hurt me LOL.
I didn't win anything, in fact I lost money. but it was all part of the fun.
Had drinks and giggles with my girlfriends.

If you love dressing up then I would recommend going to ascot to anyone.

VICTORIA JACKSON make up

Today I was offered a deal to be honest I couldn't walk away from, which was Victoria Jackson make up, which is a famous make up artist based in American and now has brought out her own make up range.
I got a survival kit (which contains: mini eyeliner and lip liner, mini black waterproof mascara, two blushers, 5 lip gloss colours, 10 eyeshadow colours) I loved how it was packaged and you could put into your handbag and carry around all those different products.
Also I got 3 full sized lip glosses, and the colours are lovely, they stay on well and have a great shimmer to them, and are non sticky (which is a must for me).
Last but not least I got colour collection in peach (really lovely colours for the summer) included was 4 eye shadows (in different shades of browns) 2 blush (peach colour and plum colour, really impressed with the pigment), 4 lip gloss colours.
I got all this for ONLY £20!!!
Is this too good to be true? or was I just in for luck, this is what I am still trying to decided. So far I am impressed with the products, and will enjoy trying them out. If they don't turn out to be amazing, there won't be too much lost (only £20).
Please let me know, if you have any products by this brand and let me know how you get on with them. Also let me know if you think I have been stuck in to a good sales person.
Check out my You tube channel, which had a video about the products I got today.
