Where Have You Been?

Hey Everyone.

Sorry it's been so long yet again I've been super busy, so just a little update for you all.

So recently I've been for an interview at a ladies gym. They asked me to come back for a second interview on Thursday just gone. Unfortunately this time i wasn't successful but that didn't bother me because there are plenty of other gyms out there which i will be having an interview for within the next couple of weeks.
I haven't been to the gym at all this week so i'm currently feeling a bit 'eurgh' at the minute. this is all due to the pain I've been having in my heel.
It turns out that my Plantar Fascia in my foot is inflamed which is causing me terrible pain, so for the next couple of days i'm going to be sitting around and taking inflammatory tablets which means no gym or shopping for me and as for work, well i'm just going to have to hobble around the shop floor and try to deal with the pain.
Finally our family kitchen has been ripped out and ready for the new one to be fitted so i feel like i have been eating a load of rubbish because we don't have the use of a cooker or hob which is torture.

Anyway i hope you liked this little update and i will get back to posting as soon as i'm better

NOTD - Turkish Sea

Hey Everyone.
Hope you're all well.
Here's my nail of the day post.
I'm currently loving the colour blue and found this beautiful colour in my collection by technic called Turkish Sea. On top of the colour i added the Rimmel Matte Finish which i'm sure you will all have heard about. Incase you haven't heard about it, it's a topcote that removes the shine from your polish and leaves is with an amazing matte finish. It's a recomended buy which retails for about £4.98.

Current Favorites

Hey everyone!
So I'v recently been so busy with work and college but i thought that seen as how i have a free day today i would show you guys what i've recently been loving.



 These nail varnishes i have been wearing none stop!
They both pull an outfit together great and i've had a lot of compliments from people asking about them.

The first is from the Rimmel "I love fruities" collection and its in the shade 053-Apricote Punch and retails from £2.49. I can't even explain how beautiful this colour is you need to buy it.

The second colour is from Avon. You can purchase this online or from your local Avon Representative. This colour is in the shade 26641-Sequined Turqoise and retails for £5. The colour is a beautiful metalic blue which is a true nail varnish that will stand out.



 This face mask from The Body Shop i can't stress enough about. It glides onto your skin very smoothly and leaves your skin feeling refreshed. However if you have sensitive skin i would not recomend this product as i find that once the face mask is applied it slowly starts to heat which could irritate some people.
For a face mask the product is quite pricey retailing for £8 at The Body Shop however i will keep repurchasing this product as i found that my skin cleared up really fast


 
 These two products are a must have! There both very light on your skin, don't irritate your skin and leave your skin feeling refreshed.
The Kind to Skin Soothing facial Toner is a product that i have been purchasing for around about a year and a half. I find that it keeps my skin clear and doesn't break me out. I use it every morning and night before i go to bed. I usually find that when i use toners my skin breaks out, and this is the perfect on for me as it contains no perfume and no colour and instead contains, Pro-Vitamin B5, Chamomile, Witch Hazel and Allantoin which leaves your skin clarified. The toneer retails for £1.29
Secondly the Kind to Skin Replenishing Mosturiser is another item that i have re-purchased over the years. Again is is a very light texture and is not too heavy on the skin. It does not break my skin out, has no perfume or colour like the toner and contains Pro-Vitamin B5,  Glycerin, Bisabolol and Allantoin to leave your skin reeling soft. The moisturiser retails for £1.49

I've also been loving the ANewGenetics Treatment Concentrate Serum from Avon. the product retails for £17 and you get 30ml. I have been using this about 2-3 times a week instead of my Simple Kind to Skin Replenishing Mosturiser just to boost the collagen in my skin. It is a light formula and is not hars on the skin. I think it's a great product and i will be repurchasing.



Oh my goodness! where do i start whith this product?
I have always suffered from chapped lips and there is nothing worse than when your ready to go out and you can't apply your lipstick smoothly because your lips are chapped.
My sister got me this Mango and Papaya Lip Balm as a christmas present last year, and i have to say that it is one of the best lip balms i have uses. Within 3 days my lips were completly smooth and i could finally apply my lipstick without it looking bumpy!


I always like to treat my hair and give it a good deep conditioning. I've found that Aussie 3 Minute Miricle Reconstruction Deep Conditioning has been working really well for me. Theres alot i could say about this product but all i will say is IT WORKS! SMELLS GORGEOUS! YOU NEED TO BUY IT! ITS ONLY 99P






So I've recently rediscovered my two NEXT eye shaddow pallets.
Forget about the NAKED and NAKED 2 pallet if your looking for a cheap allternative and dont want to spend the ridiculous prices then get yourself to NEXT. These pallets are only £5 and there so pigmented and look great when applied.
First Pallet - Cashmere
Second Pallet - Define

My final favourite is a song by the amazing Ben Howard called The Wolves. You must listen to this song he has the most amazing voice ever. I can't wait till i get to see him live!

Essential Jewelry

Hey Everyone!
So every girls loves to own and go shopping for jewelry and if we could we would buy the whole shop.
Well instead of going out and buying every piece of jewelry you see why not stick to the statements that will pull an outfit together?
I didnt start to get into jewelry untill about two years back. I knew it was there to be worn but the majority of the time i just forgot to put it on.
I now tend to stick to the statements that i think will pull an outfit together so i dont have to rummage through heaps of jewelry so here are some pictures of a few bits and bobs which i think will make an outfit come together.
