Day 2 Review - St Ives scrubs!

Well this is a double review, since I use two scrubs and I love them both! So I put them both into Tuesday's review (yes I know its Wednesday, you will get two reviews today xD )

The first product I use religiously, is St Ives Apricot Scrub Blemish Fighting:

I love this scrub and have noticed a HUGE improvement in my skin and also in break outs!! Since using this, I have suffered less break outs and my skin seems softer and brighter, YAY.

Pros:
1. Anti-blemish formula works!
2. Made my skin brighter
3. Good quality scrub with big grainy bits (I prefer big grainy bits, some people don't!)
4. Can be used daily

Cons:
1. Can be too rough on your face if your skin is feeling senstive one day
2. Expensive (for me £4 is a lot to spend on a scrub!)

The second product is the normal St Ives Apricot Scrub:

I use this as a normal exfoliator every other day when I am at my Dads (I used a different one at my mums which will be todays review :P ) And I love it. I love the big grainy beads and that it really feels like I am getting a good exfoliating scrub! My skin feels less dull after a good scrub!

Pros:
1. Can be used regulary
2. Improves your skin
3. Good quality grainy bits!

Cons:
1. Once again, price!

Hope you enjoyed my quicky review for Tuesday!! <3

Bobbi Brown Long-wear Gel Eyeliner

This is a must must must have if you can afford it and love Bobby Brown! The second product I have tried and I love it, I cannot live with out and when I have too I get withdrawels and wish it was with me!!

The gel is thick but easy to apply and glides on smoothly, with strong black line. I usually only need two coats, as sometimes it smudges thinner slightly. This is the only eyeliner I use for flicks and details, sometimes I even use it on my lower waterline!! It does congeal slightly in the pot after some uses, but it is still easy to layer up the brush and get on my eyes! I cannot stress enough how much I love this product!!

It does exactly what it says on the tin, it is long-wearing, doesn't smudge for me or fade during the day (I have 9-5 days sometimes with make up being put on at half 7 and still there at 6pm when I get home!) It takes some rubbing to accidently take off (sometimes I get itchy eyes in the corners) but apart from that, it stays perfect.

Here is the webpage for it on the Bobbi Brown site - Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Liner

I advise this if you can afford it!!

I'm not dead!!

See!! Hello thar!! *waves*

Just been going through some stuff recently, I won't rant and rave about it on here!

I just spent a really nice week with my boyfriend, just staying in out of the cold and snuggling, watching movies!! I now love all three Blades, Waterworld, 9 and Zombieland! Burn After Reading was quite good as well, funny, but From Dusk till Dawn was appauling once they got to the bar >_< Like Tales from the Crypt, it looked like!

Another update is that I will be doing reviews on 7 items, starting today, my 7 fav items of February!! Its nearly ending, wow this year is going fast!

Since I didn't post it last week, here is a tiger look I did for Chinese New Year, RAWR!!





I was ill today, so no pictures off me today!! <3

February!

So it turns into February on Monday! Who has kept their NYR? Cause I sure havent! I haven't even start hehehe! Maybe I should try and start a new regime on Monday, like exercise and stuff XD

But I have been keeping with the dark colours thing. Now February is coming though, I can start adding colour to my look! Just subtle hints of it, like liner under my lower lashline and maybe a pale colour on my lids! I can't wait to get started, though I have been enjoying the smokey eyed black eyeliner look! My eyes look really defined when they are rimmed with black eyeliner!

And colours into clothes, hopefully it will get warmer as most of my colourful stuff is more spring summer! I can't wait to wear my summer dresses!! WHEEEEEE bring on the end of January!

Looks looks looks! (and cupcakes)

So I have been thinking (dangerous stuff!) and I have thought about creating a few signiture looks for myself, like things I will stick to over the years (adjusting it to my life style and age as time goes on of course!)

One thing I was thinking about was make up. For this winter, I have been wearing mainly the same sort of make up, maybe a bit more colourful one day, but the same most days! Its been a black and white look, a bit like this:



But more suited for day time! Just glittery white eyeshadow with some shading and black eyeliner. This got me thinking that this is a perfectly acceptable look for harsh (black eyeliner) winter (white=frost or snow) days! So what about a look per season? Well the above would be my winter look! Along with darker clothes (most of my winter clothes are dark anyways hur hur hur) with a splash of colour in just one peice (today it was my shoes, bright turquoise converse!) We are talking like this:



For spring we are looking at brighter colours! I don't do pastels as much, I probably have some, but I love anything colourful in Spring!! Make up would reflect this, with brighter colours, first starting with a touch of colour as Feb goes into March, then, throw out the black eyeliner for a while and just use colour! Stuff like this:



And clothes would be bright as well, I have a lot of bright stuff so I can enjoy the spring! I am the kinda crazy person who squeals with glee when the flowers bloom!



Something like this! Very springy, the same kinda thing I will be look forward too!

Now with summer, its too hot for a lot of make up (i know I will be giving my foundation a rest and sticking with just the powder!) and a lot of clothes! So for summer I want to try for a neutral look, feminine but pale shades, creams, beiges, things like that! Make up will be natural with maybe a slight tint to the lips via tinted lip balms



Heres my idea for clothes styles. I need to buy some neutral clothes as I don't think I actually have anything nude! Ah well any excuse for shopping!



Here we see some from the catwalks, which means I might actually be following fashion, for once!

Other things that would attribute to me would be trying to keep the same perfume prehaps? I am not decided on that one yet!
For Autumn, I am thinking bring back some colour, but bronzes and yellows and warm reds, the colour of Autumn!



And the same for outfits, transition from the nudes of summer to more warmer (both in colour and literally!) clothes. Not so much the dark clothes of winter but muted colours of spring!

Anyways it was a fun day!! I love my family so I enjoyed hanging out with them. And the food is always good! NYR start tommorrow though so bubye junk food *cries and flails* But it was fun pigging out on pizza slices and cheese and crisps and profiteroles!! Yummy yummy!! We just sit or stand around and talk to each other (how many families do that nowadays?)while the kids played around us! My two little cousins Benny and Bannor are so cute! Bannor decided my dress was a good place for a tent! They are only three XD



Sunday was boring so I decided to attack my room! I was meant to be doing homework, but I had pictures to work on and a room to tidy and ironing and washing T_T I need to start getting up early *sigh* Here is my room at the end of the day, still looks kinda messy cause of my washing drying but the bed is tidy and made with fresh sheets (I like doing it every Sunday fresh sheets fresh PJs!)

New Years!

HAPPY NEW YEARS BLOGGER!! One of my resolutions is to update this more!! So heres a New Year blog with some pictures from last night and today!

Unlike most people my age (21) I much prefer a quieter night with my family, playing family games, eating finger food and watching the tv count down. Boring I know :P

So heres the outfit I was wearing last night. The dress I bought from a shop in Hull, England and the jacket was from New Look. My shoes were from Marks and Spencers!





For my make up I just put on some gold eyeshadow and added a line of gold sparkle above the upper lash line


What a lovely picture 8D

Here was a photo of the people I was with when the clock striked 00:00



I love a good family doo instead of going out clubbing I have always been a family girl!!

And on to the day itself! I forced myself out of bed at 12 since I feel real tired at the moment and its a struggle to get up (going to sleep at 3am doesn't help either). I decided to try and work on some of my New Years resolutions, ie get out into the fresh air every day and eating better and looking after myself. I got up, had a bath (exfoliatioooon) and moisturised before getting dressed and putting on my make up! I just wore a comfy outfit of black jeans, floral blouse over a green vest top and silver shoes. I was going to go out straight away but my boyfriend came online and I decided to stay in until 'Sharks Tale' finished (I love films like that coming on round the Holiday period). I finally forced myself out at 3:15pm and wanted to go to Superdrugs but it was shut grrrrr! Instead I decided to skulk over to Peacocks and have a browse in the sales. I found two tops and some gloves to buy and also shoes and tights that weren't on sale. I washed the tops before I took a pic so they arn't photographic right now but I took a pic of the shoes and gloves! After a lovely meal of home made stew by my dad, I went home and have spent the rest of the evening watching tv and tidying my room! Interesting yes? I was watching Charlie and the chocolate factory, Doctor Who, The Italian Job and the Big Fat Quiz of the Year. Currently watching Gordon Ramsey right now as I type this!
Well, I had a pretty calm New Years Day, how about you? HAPPY NEW DECADE PEOPLE!





Most of my resolutions I am going to start Monday. Theres nothing better than starting a new life on a Monday!
