Lip Venom


I really can't explain how much I love this product. I purchased it a little while ago from ASOS, and fell in love with it straight away. It's a lovely product, the scent of the lip gloss is cinnamon and it also add's a gorgeous sparkle to your lips. It look's even more gorgeous over the top of a bright colour lipstick too.

The only downside I have found with this product is you don't get much of it at all, a lousy 3.5ml, which for £15 is just a little shocking. Though saying that, I love this product that much no doubt I will be re-purchasing it as soon as I have ran out. Plus it comes in some many different tints and finishes, I just want to try them all.

Have you used any of the Duwop Lip Venom's? What one is your favourite?

Just a few NY Resolutions

One of my first new year resolutions is to act more like a lady. Yes I know this is a weird one, but when with my ladies we like to play up and be loud. This often involves me getting certain objects and pretending I have a penis, and saying "WHAYY" way to loudly. So this year, I would like to be more of a girl.


Another one of my new year resolutions is to save money, last year I was terrible, buying lots of stuff I don't need, and I have never used. I want to be more sensible on what I spend my money on, and would also like to pay of my cards. 


This is a funny kind of resolution, but this year I do not want to get in a relationship, I have been in a relationship constantly for the last four years, bar one month between break up, and sticked with it even thought I was not happy, just so I had a boyfriend. Now I think about it, what is the point in being in a unhappy relationship, when I can just have fun and spend more time with my friends. Simple.


This is my most important resolution, and the one I am going to try my hardest to stick to. Is to eat more healthy and lose weight. I've said for the last few years I will do this, but never have, and I feel if I don't actually do it this year, I am never going to. So fingers crossed.


Last but not least is to attend more gigs/shows, last year I hardly went to any compared to the year before. As I will be saving money from buying utter shit, I will hopefully be able to put it toward going to many more shows. I have already got a few planned with my babe Victoria, so I am pretty excited for that.

What are your New Year Resolutions this year?

What in my bag?



So after debating on what to blog about today, I thought I might give the 'Whats in your bag?' post a go, as I have never done it before. At the moment I am using my bright pink Marc B bag which I got from ASOS a long time ago. I tend to use this bag when I know I'm going to be wearing a lot of black, just to make things a little bit brighter.

As you can see I haven't got too much in this bag, as I had to clear it out for going to London the other day with my babe Chloe. The top thing that I carry all the time with me is my purse, which is buy Loungefly. The next thing would have to be my phone, I would simply feel lost if I didn't have my phone on me, I also like to carry my diary around with me, as I have a terrible memory, so often forget what day it is, let alone what I need to do. Make up wise, I don't actually carry much with me in the day, as i don't touch up my make up, unless I'm on a night out. The only things I do carry as you can see is my MAC Matt lipstick in Please Me and my DuWop Lip Venom. I also could not go out without having my lip balm, as I am a self confessed addict. Oh and of course my Fendi Perfume, as I just love it a little too much.

Other essentials I like to carry are tissues just incase, paracetamol and cold tablets. As for the big plastic tub, that is full to the brim with Sunflower and Pumpkin Seeds, this is because I am on a little health kick, so if I'm feeling peckish I snack on these badboys. Last but not least, I also tend to carry my headphones around with me too, when out or at uni, I listen to my iPhone quite a lot, so couldn't live without these.

What are your must haves in your bag?

Let's have some Cremesheen

Speed Dial and Creme D'Nude

After getting a MAC gift voucher for my birthday from Megan, Chloe and Lauren, I decided I really needed wanted is a nude coloured lipstick. I had heard things about Creme D'Nude before but wasn't actually planning on picking this one as I wanted one that wasn't as popular. Then on chatting to the MUA in MAC I come to the conclusion that I should go with more of a Sheen look rather then a Matt, just so it doesn't look like I've just covered my lips in foundation, lets be honest, that is not a good look. Now after buying Creme D'Nude, I am now in love. Its a really nice neutral tone with a great shine to it, and looks gorgeous with my new DuWop Lip Venom over the top.

As for Speed Dial, this was purchased when I went on holiday but I never got round to swatching it for you guys. Its a lovely shade of pink, again with a gorgeous sheen to it.

Whats your favourite MAC shade?

Christmas comes but once a year, and so does your Birthday!



Just a little post filling your guys in on my Christmas/Birthday, as a lot of you know my birthday is on christmas day, so I have two things to celebrate at this time of year. I had a lovely Christmas day, had my nan and step granddad over for Christmas dinner, after dinner they stayed for a little bit longer before setting off home leaving us to relax. Spent the rest of the day watching Christmas tv and chilling out with my parents. On boxing day we literally watched the movies we all got for xmas back to back, then today we took the girls out for a little walk. Once back I had a lovely christmas themed bath with some gorgeous Lush goodies and I am now doing some designing for Vibe Clothing. 

Has everyone else had a lovely Christmas?

Dear Diary ...


I have been so naughty recently, as I have just not blogged in so long. I just feel like I have been so busy, and when I've not been busy I have not felt myself. After breaking up from uni last week, I have been non stop designing. I am looking to launch a new line of t-shirts in the beginning of 2012, I am in the middle of sorting out models and photographers, but I would really like to do a shoot around Oxford then one maybe in London. So my focus has been majority on doing this, and my ladies.


Apart from designing I have just been up to the normal stuff, friends, cinema, nights out and shopping. Nothing overly exciting. I have been working a little more too, just to get a little bit more money, and as I am hoping to increase my contract come new year. Other then the boring normal stuff it is of corse the lead up to Christmas. I really can not believe how fast this year has gone, and yes I am another year older come Christmas Day, just a tad depressing.


Hows everyone else's holidays going? All prepared for Christmas?


P.s. Oh also have a question for you lovely ladies, I having problems designing a font on Photoshop, does anyone have any tips? or sites to buy for a brand?


XOXO

NEC - Clothes Show Live


The one bad thing about this post is I forgot my camera on the day, and dropped my iPhone which resorted in the screen smashing, so was pretty hard to take pictures while I was at the Clothes Show, but I thought you lovely lot might want a nose at want I got my hands on as the show.

The first thing I managed to get my hands on when we got there was some Models Own, we all got a little to excited when we saw there massive stand at the show. The deal they was doing on the day was buy 3 nail varnishes for £10 and receive a free goody bag, I quickly grabbed the colours above, Pink Lady, Black'n'Red and Aciiied. The goody bag was really good that you got free, must be worth over £25 as you can see in the photo above.

My other favourite bargains are the Illamasqua products, they had an amazing offer of any three items for £10, so I picked up a couple of there cream blushes, which normally retail at £16 and a pure pigment too.  I have only really used there lip gloss, which I wasn't really a fan off, so I'm pretty excited to try out these bits.


I also managed to stock up on Carmex, at the beginning of the day they had the offer of 1 for £2 or 2 for £3. But after thinking about it when walking around, I came back they was selling them all off for 2 for a £1, so I got tonnes :).

On the way out of the event after we had watched the catwalk show, which I must say was brilliant, lots of hot topless male models, is there anything bad about that? We all went to a bag stall which we had saw when we first came in, I ended up buying the bag above, which is a small backpack. I had seen some really cute studded ones about on 'WeHeartIt' and Tumblr, so quickly grabbed this one. I then started too stud it last night, unsure whether to add a few more though, or maybe even some spikes.



All in all it was a really nice day, bar smashing the screen on my phone. Got to see lots of great make up,  fashion and accessory brands, and also the gorge Kirk from TOWIE. 

Did anyone else attend the Clothes Show, What did you make of the day?

XOXO
