Trend Alert: Candy Colours


Lipsy Lace Shoulder Dress

Feminine candy Colours are the latest trend for the upcoming Spring and summer lines. Personally I love it 1 Its flirty feminine and fun. I think I will need to jazz it up with accessories I don't like to look too girly. Need to be careful not to look like you have borrowed your outfit from your younger sister.

below are some of my favourite picks. unfortunately my wedding is in 9 weeks and i have no money to go shopping. I have to buy a red dress for my hen night and that is all I can stretch to. I think I will have a good rummage around my wardrobe see if I can recycle something for this trend. Hopefully get a blog post up on that over the weekend. Good excuse to finally clean out my drawers.

It is supposed to be amazing but I have never bothered to buy it because it has only ever been available from these TV shopping channels. I will definitely be giving it a go now. I have my wedding 9 weeks from today and I am hoping this is the miracle cure to my problem skin.

Have any of you guys tried it before ? Does it work ?

Dry n Shape: Sigma



The Sigma Dry' n Shape:  Anyone else seen or tried this ?

I don't k now about you guys but i HATE washing my make-up brushes. They take forever to dry and they are just never as good as new.
This new contraption from Sigma promises to quickly dry and shape your makeup brushes in three easy steps and in less than 6 hours.



STEP 1: Wash your brushes using a mild shampoo or brush cleanser.

STEP 2: Gently press the bristles to remove any excess water. Place the clean, damp brushes into the Dry’n Shape using the smallest band the brush will fit into. Make sure that all bristles are firmly compressed.

STEP 3: Wait 4 to 6 hours and your brushes will be completely dry and ready to use! In addition to being completely dry, the bristles will be reshaped to their original form.  Your brushes will be perfect for your makeup application!

Time for a treat

I've had a bit of good news and work and i am already looking for ways to treat myself. I would really like a new dress and perhaps for my MR to take me out for a nice meal and night out in it.

These are what i have my eye on at the moment...

            
Which is your favourite ? The Red Ruffled One shoulder dress would be perfect for Valentines day.

Boots 17 Cosmetics

I have been thinking about changing my foundation for the Bare minerals but my budget has been tight this month so i decided just to buy a cheap powder to get me through the month. I popped into my local Boots on my lunch break and was attracted to the cheap prices and current 3 for 2 promotion on the 17 cosmetics. Well if its 3 for 2 i may as well get a new mascara too ( My Last YSL Mascara was a disaster i will do a review on this asap, please do not waste your money on it) .


I decided to go for

It cost me about £11 for all three products with the 3 for 2 promotion and as an added bonus i had enough advantage points to cover it. BARGAIN !!

The foundation and powder are amazing. I am so glad I tried these. I have always been nervous about buying new foundation, often been sucked in by sales girls telling me to buy £40+ numbers that have never went on as well as this foundation. 

It goes on like a dream I use a Sigma Kabuki Brush  to whiz mines on in about 2 minutes. It blend so well and i only need a tiny amount. I put my foundation on at around 6.30am and it has been lasting flawlessly until i get home at around 7pm. Even when i was sweating a bit on Saturday i added another quick layer of powder at around 3pm and my face looked as good as new. I dare say the condition of my skin is better, less oily. My fiancĂ©e and work colleagues both noticed instantly asked if I had changed my foundation.  

I can not urge you enough to please try this foundation it is awesome.

 
The mascara isn't brilliant i would give that a miss. Makes my eyelashes look like they are about to snap off.

Ticket to Glossytown; Benefit Review



Benefit : Ticket to Glossytown 
This has to be one of the best lip-gloss sets i have ever owned. The 6 colours are all you could ever need ranging from deep berry and brown colours through to nudes and then bright pinks. 

The colour from right to left are :
  • Kiss You
  • So Frisk Me
  • Nudie -Tude
  • Life On The A List
  • Spiked Punch
  • Foxy Lady
Nudie-Tude a d Life on the A List are my favourites i have had one or the other on everyday since i got this. The lip glosses are really thick and lovely giving a great colour pay off without being sticky. They smell great, they taste great and look great. 

The set contains 6 X 3.0ml Lip glosses perfect for even the smallest bag or great for taking on holiday. 

The set can currently be purchased from ASOS for £19.50 a total bargin if you ask me i have paid this for one lipgloss, but this is a complete lip gloss wardrobe. 


Which is your favourite colour ?
