Update

Again, my posts haven't been up to scratch, and I'm sorry for anyone who has missed me (Don't all comment at once :P) BUT I haven't been here to do any posts as I've had quite a social weekend: I was out Friday night at a social club where local bands were playing, out all night Saturday and got hammered, which I regret because I rang a few people up and talked poop to them. They probably now think I'm a stupid drunk who they should stay away from *hangs head in shame*.
So then I went in town the following morning to exchange my Republic skirt for a hoody, my friend and I then had a KFC meal as we were still hangover. It was also not a good idea to go on an escalator moving down; it took a few minutes for me to choose what step to step on: like you would do when you were a child haa.
Thennnnnn, after a whole day of pointlessness in town, we met up with everyone to go see Valentines Day. Basically it was created by Americans trying to copy Love Actually but they failed miserably. It wasn't reaaaaaaal bad, just boring. It wasn't engaging and I found myself looking around the cinema and checking the time on my phone, praying it was nearly over. Good news is though, we didn't go to 'Vue' where everyone goes and the prices are extremely pricey. We went to 'Reel', a cheap cinema where not many people go. Yes, the seats aren't as comfy, but the food is cheap! I got large popcorn and a large drink for £4 :)
We were then at the bus stop when I realised I didn't have my purse (I gave to my friend as she had a bag but it must of fallen out) I then ran back to the cinema as the very last bus of the night was to arrive in 10 minutes, to find that they had just closed up! So I had to ring up in the morning and go collect it.
Oooh and I have a load of coursework to be done but I should be able to make a few posts :)
Phewwww! I've just rambled for Britain but if you've made it this far, then thank you for reading! You can have a long distance air hug :)

N.Y.C Cosmetics

Hello Ladies! I was kindly sent a few products by Superdrug to review for you:

Metro Quartet Eyeshadow in South Street Seaport.

I love the packaging and think the double ended brush is cute and convenient. The clear sheet across the eye-shadows shows you where to put the colour which is helpful... But 3/4 of the eye-shadows are not as highly pigmented as I would of liked them to be. On the other hand, the darkest contour colour is very pigmented so on a whole, this product is a hit and miss.

Sparkle Eye Dust in Pink Champagne.

The packaging for this product is also cute but I do not like the brush as the bristles are all messed up. This gives a subtle shimmer which can be used in the day; as the colours are not bold or can be used to add some sparkle to a night time look.

Liquid Liner in Jet Black.

I really like this; dries in a reasonable time, lasts all day and has a small, thin brush. First of all I thought I would have no control over the brush as it would be flimsy but application was easy. This is really good for making those flicks perfect.

Lip Sliders Tinted Lip Balm in Sugar Baby.

I wasn't expecting much from this product as when I first swatched, it felt sticky and tacky. This gives your lips a rosy tint which looks really nice and it isn't as tacky as I thought. It doesn't slide on like a gloss but this increases the staying power as it isn't going to be accidentally wiped off your lips. All in all, a good product :)

Color Wheel Mosaic Powder in Pink Cheek Glow.

I have already written a full review on this product which can be found here.

Lush Avobath Ballistic

£2.90

What Lush say: For liveliness and softer skin. If you're the sort who lounges in bed, Avobath is what you need to get you moving in the morning. It's an amazingly refreshing Ballistic with lemongrass to stimulate sleepy brains, freshly mashed avocado and olive oil to moisturize your skin. If you absolutely have to leave your bed, get up and Avobath.

What I say: First of all, the smell = mmmmmm! This smells of gentle citrusy yummyness - good description, I know ;)

When you pop this in, you end up with a lime green bath which, for me, is another highlight. We all love bathing in different coloured water, it makes bath time more fun! So, I was laying there, sniffing up the lemony aroma and I could feel how soft it was making my skin. This also has subtle shimmer particles. Don't worry, it doesn't leave you looking like a glitter ball as the particles are extremely fine. The result is soft, radiant looking skin.

Would I re-purchase? Definitely!

Ebay Haul

I ordered some belly bars on Sunday and they arrived today! (Tuesday). Also, this little lot cost me just 10 pounds and when you spend 10 pounds or over, you are entitled for free delivery :). If you do not spend this amount, delivery is still only 1 pound.

10 pearlescent belly bars £2.75. I had most of these colours already but I love them so much I thought I'd get every one.

Vintage flower belly bar £2.99. I didn't like the butterfly so I took it off and now just have the blue drop and pink pearl which looks a lot better.

Pink & purple coloured pearl drop belly bars £1.49 each.

Zip belly bar £1.75.

Republic Haul

I've just placed an order with Republic which shall arrive next week :). Republic is probably my favourite clothes store to buy from now and is the first store I look at when needing (wanting) some clothes. They are also my favourite store to buy dresses from as they are gorgeous! I already have a few and I am going to purchase another one for a wedding I have coming up. The dresses are around £20-£40 which I think is quite good. I did used to think their prices were quite expensive but that was when all my clothes came from

Primark, and compared to Primark, all stores are expensive. I still don't think its cheap, but I'd rather have 1 memorable top than 10 plain boring tops which no-one will notice.

My order this time consists of basic clothing:

T-shirt £14.99

Denim mini skirt £19.99 or 2 for £30

Hoody £19.99 or 2 for £30

Light blue vest £5.99

Navy vest £5.99

...

Sorry for no posts this week, I have been busy with my coursework and then on Wednesday, the puppy chewed a computer wire and the computer didn't work. My dad was in London till late Thursday night so we had to wait till then to get a new one. I now have a new computer so posts will be running as normal!

Hope you've all had a good week :)

L'Oreal Casting Crème Gloss in 550 Mahogany

This is just a quick post with my thoughts on the dye. I really want to show you pictures but no camera in the house is working, not even the webcam!

So, when mixed in the bottle, it was a gorgeous shimmery violet. Application etc... was fine and now my hair is unbelievably soft - this is one reason why I am starting to love dying my hair. And the colour? A deep brown with warm red tones running through it. I really like it :) Although, I am tempted to go redder...

I don't want to get carried away with dying my hair though because a few months ago I said I would never do it. 2 semi-permanent and 2 permanent dyes later... hehe.

I will try whatever I can to get photos today :)

Does the colour look like the colour on the box? Pretty close, yes! Remembering that everyone's shade will be slightly different depending on your hair colour and how long you leave the dye on.

UPDATE: I've just seen my hair in the sun and it is gorgeous! Shimmering red tones everywhere. I said before there were red-ish tones, but in the sun they are a lot more vibrant :)
