things I'm currently lusting after...


I'm always always always lusting after many things, here are the top five at the moment...

MeMeMe Cheek-E Blusher in Peach-E, £4.99
I have heard goooood things about this cream blush and it looks like a lovely summery peachy pink for my holiday in Mallorca in a few days time, just gotta go out and buy it first...

You Rebel Lite tinted moisturiser - Benefit, £21.50.
I had this applied during a make over and instantly fell in love.
Sadly I'm not sure I can splash out for it. Christmas methinks?


models own powder blush in warm glow - Boots, £5.
Do you really need another peach coloured blusher? I hear you say.
Well the answer is: Don't be silly, of course! ;)
Gosh lipstick in Darling - Boots, £6.
love, love, love it ♥ nuff said.

Long, voluminous hair, priceless.
I have, since I can remember, wanted long hair. But being the idiot I am, I keep going to the hairdressers and getting it cut short, something just takes over me when I walk in a salon. But I am determined to grow mine now. And I will have hair like Cheryl Cole by the end of 2011. I will.

Hope you enjoyed this post :)

haul: Boots & Superdrug

hey beautiful people :)
I went shopping today with a couple of mates and went absolutely crazy :) I got loads!
I had a 'free makeup lesson' at the Benefit counter in Boots and had a makeover - which was so fun :) I would really recommend booking one, they're free and the products really are gorgeous, I couldn't buy this (as it was too expensive), but the girl used 'You Rebel Lite - tinted moisturiser' on me and it was amazing - I am definitely lusting after that ;)
So yeah, let's get on with the haul...


all the products :)

Stuff from 17 at Boots.
At my makeup lesson at Benefit the girl gave me a really pretty purple eye - so since I can't really afford Benefit I went to 17 and tried to recreate the look for less money ;)
-x2 eyeshadows in Regal (the navy blue) and Punky Purple - £3.49 each
At the moment they have an offer where if you spend more than £6 you get a free Bronzing Summer Glow kit which includes -
-1x Mirror Shine lipstick in Sugar Daddy
-2x Eyeshadows in Ivory Coast and Statuesque
-1x Instant glow bronzing powder in medium
-1x Bronzing brush & 1x eye applicator
I never really use these free gift things but I thought this was quite generous for only spending 6 pounds - a nice thing to have in the draw :)

-beautyuk eye shadow and eye liner collection 1
This is their new palette and looks quite cool, I was going for bright colours and this looked perfect :) - £3.99

I had two of the £5 off vounchers for No.7 and Ruby and Mille cosmetics so went to look :)
I have always liked the look of their eyebrow pencils and needed a base for eyeshadow so these two things were perfect :D
I bought
-Beautiful brows pencil in 10 brown/black - RRP £7.25, I paid £2.25 :)
-Stay Perfect Smoothing and Brightening eye base - RRP £7.50, I paid £2.50 :)
Stuff from 2true at Superdrug.
They always have a 3 things for £5 offer here so I got
-True Colour Blusher in Shade No. 3 (I plan to use this as a bronzer)
-Eyeshadow Dazzler in No. 9 (you can't really see this - it's a lovely bright, royal-type blue)
-Gloss-wear Lipstick in Shade 7

Stuff from Natural Collection at Boots.
I have a lot of neutral eyeshadows and not many pinks so I went for these to be different :)
They also always have a 3 products for £5 offer
-Duo Eyeshadow in Frost Shimmer/Aqua Shimmer
-x2 Single Eyeshadows in Candy Floss (the brighter one) and Soft Pink
AAAH I'm so excited about this ♥ it's absolutely gorgeous!
When I had my makeover the girl used this on me and I instantly fell in love with it :) the colour is so so pretty and ahh, it's just fab ;D
-Coralista Blush - £23.50
Luckily, I didn't have to fork out the money for this - I had a £25 boots card for my birthday so I could get this and I'm so glad I did! CAN'T WAIT TO USE IT ♥

well, that's the end of this haul.
I'm going to Primark tomorrow with my Mum and I will just tell you what I plan to buy so I don't have to do another haul :) I will be getting the foundation/concealer brush and the Kabuki brush so I might do a review of them soon!
But that's all for now :D
Hope you enjoy this post and happy thursday!

lotsa love xoxo

the dream team ♥


hello beautiful bloggers :)

I just wanted to show you some of my fave beauty products at the moment and let you know why I love them so much and give them a score out of ten :)


they are:


Benefit lipgloss in 'who are you wearing?' This was given to me by a friend for a birthday present and I loved it as soon as I started using it! First of all, I love the colour - it's a really pretty, purple-y fuchsia with a hint of sparkly pink which is great for putting over your fave pink lipstick for extra shine or it's great on it's own. It also smells amazing which is a plus! And the applicator wand is a nice shape and easy to use :) This product retails at £14 - not cheap, but a good investment if you want lovely lips :D

Overall a great lip gloss and I would purchase again!

8/10

Collection 2000 Hot Looks nail polish in 'button moon'. Well, I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! This was given to me by a very good friend of mine and it is amazing! The colour is gorgeous and looks so lovely for summer and when worn with gold rings looks especially nice. The application is really smooth and it dries very fast and lasts for a good amount of time without chipping. If you wear one coat you get a lovely pale sky blue and then as you build coats a more bright aqua blue is created - and both are nice :) Overall, this is definitely my fave of the faves :D

This product retails at £1.79, an incredible bargain!

9.5/10



Barry M Lip Paint in '101 - Marshmallow'.I bought this product on a whim when shopping with some friends and was wondering whether I should have got it when I got home - but now, I am SO glad I did! The colour is really pretty, especially if you are partial to a pale lip and has a lovely pink sheen to it. The texture is really smooth and creamy so it's nice to apply, but I did find that sometimes it became slightly 'bitty' on my lips so you need a good lip balm underneath. It lasts well but you do need to keep applying throughout the day to keep the colour vibrant. Looks lovely with the Benefit lip gloss mentioned earlier! :) Overall a nice lipstick and a colour worth getting.

This product retails £4.25 - very reasonable for lipstick nowadays :D

7.5/10

Marks and Spencer's Blusher Brush. I really like this! I got it for my birthday and thought, since it was from marks and spencer, that it wouldn't be very good quality but I was definitely wrong! The brush is so soft and is lovely for blusher and pressed powder as well and gives a really clean and flawless finish :) I've used more professional brushes, like MAC one's before, and they're pretty much the same as this but the different is, this is much cheaper! Lovely product :)

This product retails at £7.50 and there are lots more brushes in the range :)

8/10

So that's it! My faves and I really would recommend all of them :)
Thanks for reading.

love xoxo
