Item's I am currently in love with!

I fell in love with many of these items long ago but seriously, I need many of these in my life. Not only do they look jaw dropping-ly amazing, but just seriously, who would not want to own these items?

Rat baby screw you high heels - TooFast
Price: £49.99 
Buy from: http://www.bluebanana.com/product.php/1006444/22/rat-baby-screw-you-high-heels--black-#.U8byjPldXw8 

I fell in love with these babies around a year ago at my local blue banana. They look fantastic! Gorgeous design in the shoe itself but also an anti-cross as a heel? I NEED THESE IN MY LIFE! I very much doubt I would be able to walk in these without sustaining some serious injury to my ankles but in all honesty...it would be worth it!

Kiss of death vest dress
Brand: Disturbia Clothing
Price: (currently on sale) £17.95

This is just beautiful! I love the detailing on the top itself but also the contrast the red brings to the whole thing. I have fallen madly in love with this top and i will hopefully be buying this very soon (to add to my other disterbia top i own (which, I also fell in love with again earlier this week after re-discovering it).


Saba Wood with fine rosebud carving flesh plug
Price: From £11.99
Buy from:

How beautiful and femanine do these look? I adore these plugs not only for the shear quality of them but just look at the design and detail in the rose bud. Absolutally brilliant quality and defintsly will be owned by me as soon as possible. My ears are craving for something like this for sumertime.



MAC nail lacquer in soiree
Price: £10
Buy from: http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/shaded/170/641/Products/Nails/Nail-Lacquer/index.tmpl

I haven't painted my nails in such a long time as I used to bite them. Colours such as this one makes me glad I have chosen to grow them out. It looks like a really beautiful nude colour with gold runnding through it. It looks like a fantastic colour for summer as its a very nice warm shade but also it would look great during autumn when eerything has started to turn that soft yellow letting you know winter is coming.

Re-Touching My Turquoise

So I posted a picture of my newly dyed turquoise hair the other day (Last Thursday I think) and I decided to re-dye it using the product straight from the tub rather than mixing with conditioner. I did this yesterday afternoon (in a mad rush before having to go somewhere) and it's looking a million times better now.

It's definitely much darker but for me it's more green than blue which I was hoping for. I am only keeping this colour through-out summer though, as I am hopefully going a reddish brown for autumn time. 

I would also like to apologise over the lack of posts yesterday and today. I was out last night so I had a very busy day yesterday and today I'm recovering...slowly. I will also be rather busy tomorrow but I shall try and get some reviews posted tomorrow afternoon before I have to go out.

Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder Medium/Dark

What it claims: The ultra fine and soft texture of Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder makes it easy to apply to your face and decolletage. The result is a totally natural, healthy, bronzed glow. Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder , with flecks of gold and infused with a sweet chocolate fragrance, you will smell as gorgeous as you look!

Price: £7.99


My experience: I used this product after applying my foundation. I used my models own brush and used this product for contouring. It was very easy to get this product onto my brush unlike their blush which I reviewed. I found it very easy to build this product up as I am not very confident with using bronzer, but I found I can easily start of using a little bit and apply more if needed.




Pro's

  • Build-able
  • Smells really nice
  • Fells nice on the skin
  • Easy to use/apply
  • Great for people who are learning how to contour their face


Con's

  • A little pricey


Would I recommend: Yes. This is a fantastic product. Easily build-able and very easy to apply. It also smells like chocolate which is always a plus point in my view. If you want to have a more natural look, this bronzer is perfect for this, as well as being perfect for a more dramatic look. Absolutely fantastic and I will be buying this again in the future. I think the only downside to this product is the price. I have used another drug store bronzer before which was miss sporty and it was very much like this one but half the cost. I do prefer this one however, but think it would be better if it was more towards the £6-£7 range rather than a penny under £8.





Maybelline Fit Me Conseler

What it claims: Introducing our first gel concealer made with no waxes or fillers. It conceals without feeling heavy or looking cakey, skin appears brighter and awakened. It instantly conceals to help reduce appearance of skin imperfections. Coverage the way it was meant to be… even, natural and breathable.

  • It's make-up that doesn't mess with you.
  • No oils, no waxes, no nonsense
  • Natural coverage that leaves skin the way it was meant to be…fresh, breathing, natural
  • Exclusive translucent base and lightweight pigments allow skin's natural highs and lows to show through
  • Non-comedogenic, dermatologist-tested, ophthalmologist-tested, fragrance-free
Price: £5.99
My shade: 20

My experience: I apply this product after I have applied my foundation as it is much easier to blend it with my foundation already on my skin. It also helps find any blemishes my foundation has not managed to cover. I use this product also under my eyes. I apply this product using the wand and then pat out and blend with my fingers. I find it is very easy to blend out and does not leave that area lighter (or darker) than my actual foundation. I have also used this product on my bare face when I have been in a rush to hide any blemishes. It blends in very well with my skin tone and is not heavy at all on my skin.

Pro's
  • Pricing is really good
  • Really easy to use
  • Great coverage
  • Very light on skin
  • Covers any blemishes
  • Great consistency
  • Easy to blend


Would I recommend: YES! It's a fantastic concealer. It works really well with the skin. It's light weight, great at covering any blemishes and easy to blend out under the eyes. The pricing I feel is spot on and the shade match with the foundation and powder is really well matched. Great product overall and I can't find any faults with it at all.






Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher

What is claims: The baked texture transforms when applied to the skin into an ultra-fine pressed powder, which is easy to apply and blends impeccably. One stroke of the brush reveals the irresistible aroma of the rose scented powder.

Price: £7.99


My shade: 34 (rose d'or)




My experience: I used this product after putting on my foundation (maybelline fit me foundation) and my concealer. I applied this product with my models own make up brush which I also use for contouring. I found it very VERY hard to get any of this product on the brush. No matter how hard I tried, it just refused to budge. I found the product itself rather rock solid so I used the top of my brush handle to scrape a little of this product (to loosen it so I could actually get something on my brush. I found this product very light and did not look nice what so ever. You have to build up this product for it to make any impact.

Pro's

  • Smells really nice
  • Handy case with mirror inside the lid


Con's

  • Hard to apply
  • Hard to get any product onto a make-up brush
  • Colour far too light


Would I recommend: No. This product is terrible. Although it smells really nice, its very hard to get any of this product onto a make up brush without having to physically scrape it. It does smell rather nice - just like the bronzer, but it is definitely not one I will be buying again. The mirror inside the product case is handy but again, this does not make it worth £7.99.

Next tattoo?

I thought I would share a quick post which is about my next tattoo. I am currently designing this to be placed on a space on my left thigh. It's a tattoo for my mother and I've wanted to get one done for her for a while now. (Before anyone asks, my mother is still with us, it's just a celebration piece of how much she means to me).This is a work in progress but I am happy with how it's coming alone. It's a long way off being finished though.


Sorry yet again for the lovely finger nails...I really need to paint them!

Luxury plugs for your ears?!

DISCLAIMER: These were sent to me to review by this company. However, the views and opinions written in this blog are mine and mine alone. 

I received two sets of plugs from their luxury range. They come with a little pouch to store the plugs in with the luxury range logo on, which is very handy for storing them in and keeping them safe and out of sunlight which they recommend you do on the website. Both of these sets were sent to me in the size 10mm (0g). The products use the highest quality organic materials.


One of these sets are the sono wood with crushed turquoise inlay flesh plug. These look incredible. The colours compliment each other and they feel really good quality. These feel really light and it feels like I have nothing in my ears because of how light they are. I have worn metal plugs before as well as silicone and usually switching between silicone and another plug made of different material, I usually notice the shift in weight, but with these I don't. They are extremely easy to put in and comfy to wear. I've had mine in for a few hours so far and there has been no irritation or soreness from these at all. They fit perfectly as well inside my ear, not lose nor tight at all. These are priced from 7.99 for a single plug starting as small as 4mm.

the other set is buffalo horn with mop inlay flesh plug. These have mother of pearl on them and they look, yet again, beautiful. The contrast of the colour between the black and the glistening pearl is fantastic and a great design. These are also really comfy and easy to put in, and yet again, fit perfectly. They feel really good quality like the other pair and I am completely in love with these ones as well. These also start at £7.99 for a single plug and start as small as 4mm.






Pro's

  • Light weight
  • Fantastic quality
  • Easy to put in
  • Amazing design
  • Come with a pouch to store them


Con's

  • Price


My overall opinion & would I recommend: I adore these products. Lightweight, comfortable easy to put in, sizing is perfect and the range this company offers in their luxury range is phenomenal. They have several plugs which have very intricate carvings which I am in awe of. They were posted to me yesterday and arrived today so the delivery is very quick as they are sent 1st class in the UK. They are hand made as well which is a great thing, and it also ensures each plug is perfect. The only downside is the cost, but because of how fantastic this product is, I definitely think it's worth it. It's nice to see a company creating products to bring some luxury to stretched ears using different wood, gemstones and designs. I can not explain how much I love these products and I am already thinking about purchasing some myself in the near future.



I would like to say a big thank you to stretch it body jewellery for sending me these plugs. They are just incredible! Anyone with stretched ears I definitely recommend you go and try these out asap!
