Beauty: Review - Lush Reindeer Rock

The best thing about christmas is all the special christmas smelling goodies you can get. The worst thing? not being able to afford them all. I was umming and aahing about buying this because it was the only thing from the range that really caught my eye ( and nose...) as it smells like my favourite bar the comforter. Anyway when I got home I found I hadn't left myself any shower gel or soap as expected.... and I just so happened to pass a lush store... if that's not fate I don't know what is.

this smells amazing, so much berry goodness and when I unravelled it in my bathroom, the whole room smelt delicious. When I wet the bar to use it I found the smell became more muted which is a relief as I may have smelt a little overwhelming for some people. 

I don't really need to go into the logistics on how to use a bar of soap, it does what it does, lathers well and smells great so I happily recommend this, its nice, fresh and uplifting. I'm not sure how much this retails at in the UK out here its 36dhs for 100kg so price will vary dependant on how much you buy. I think its like £3 something. anyway I am definitely getting more of this before christmas is over!

What were your favourite christmas products?

This is me until christmas now, so MERRY CHRISTMAS and see you in the new year.

Beauty: Review - MAC Pro paintpot in Soft Ochre

I've been lusting after this ever since I started watching EasyNeon's videos, it seemed like a perfect primer to get my eyelids prepped. I managed to get hold of this before doing mine and my  mates make up on friday and I think it sets a nice even shade for putting your eyeshadows on top.

I later used this for my works do and my eyeliner and shadow lasted till the next day! I'm really impressed with this.

I found you need to rub it with your finger to heat it up to make it more spreadable if that makes sense? I found I couldn't just put some straight on the brush to on my lids, but I didn't mind I usually use my fingers to prime my eyelids. Though it does have a lovely soft creamy feel to it.  You don't even need that much to set a good base so I think this pot is going to last quite a while and is fast going to become a staple in my make up case!

It is £15.50 which for mac isn't that expensive and I think when you look at other prices for primers it's not that bad.

Have you guys ever tried this out? Which are your favourite primers

ASOS wishlist

Christmas is the season for...wishlists! I am the kind of person that adds a million and one things to their ASOS basket, I then tend to watch the items on the cat walk a few times go away and come back to decide if I really want it. To be honest most of the time I can't actually afford to buy anything and must wistfully watch my items till that horrible red out of stock banner comes up.

Here's a few things I'm dreaming of this christmas.

1) ASOS Pencil Skirt in Floral Print on Texture : surprisingly I am not a fan of this as a co-ord but I do love this skirt. I think it would look stunning with a black cami or bralet. Accessorise with a hot pink clutch for bonus points.

2)ASOS Skater Skirt with Stripe Elastic Waistband I've been wanting a skirt like this ever since Beautycrush showed a white one in a haul. I think it would be great for a sports Luxe look!

3)ASOS Skort in Printed Marble Scuba I just LOVE marble prints, I also really love skorts because I  am not the most ladylike when I sit or bend down and this has got me covered!

4)ASOS Mini Skirt in Leather Look I've been after a leather mini skirt for ages, I think it's a perfect item to dress up or down for dates or gigs.

5) ASOS Fine Rib Knitted Turban Hat I have this in black and burgundy and I LOVE them, perfect for a bad hair day, perfect to keep your ears and head warm in winter. EVERYONE should have one!

6) ASOS Lace Swing Dress with High Neck I reaaaaaallly want a swing dress. plus its burgundy and lace - what's not to love? I just wish my works do wasn't black and white or I would have been all over this! ( for anyone who may point out this comes in black, it ain't got nothing on burgundy!)

7) ASOS AFRICA Mono Floral Print Playsuit OH. MY. GOD it was lust at first sight with this, everytime I look at it I am like can I buy it? ( the bank says no but my heart says YES!) It reminds me of an artist I saw at uni and I just love this print!

8) ASOS Poodle Print Envelope Clutch Bag As I thnk we all know I love prints and there is something about this colour combo I really like.

9) ASOS Cocktail Rings Multipack I need more rings, I really want to start wearing more, this a gorgeous little set!

10)ASOS Double Bridge Cat Eye Sunglasse I love cat eye glasses. I also really love tortoiseshell. I think these will be perfect for festivals!

what are you wishing for?

Beauty : review elegant touch abstract nails.

Along with the false lashes I previously wrote about I also wanted to try some false nails. I'll admit, I am super lazy when it comes to painting my nails. probably because I am one of those people who constantly picks ay her nail polish the moment I have nothing to do or I want to distract myself. I thought if I tried these it would stop me.

And it did kind of.... I bought a boots nail glue to help them stick on but they did come off quite easily, and I did end up picking at them and pulling them off. they have a wear time of a week supposedly but these people must sit and do absolutely nothing for a week....

open a soup can
POP
nail gone

open a door at work
POP
nail gone.

so easily, I don't know if that's just the quality of the glue though. I don't think the boots glue was very good so I think next time I will try a branded glue.

I have quite small hands and I did struggle to pick nails that fit, I had to pretty much use all the smallest ones available and then I had a couple spare in case I lost any. I wish they would make nail sets for tiny people!

They were really simple to use, put clue on your nails and stick! though I had to spend FOREVER filing these down to a reasonable height though.

That being said the nails looked gorgeous! and a lot of people complimented me on them which is always lovely! I have another pack I am going to try that may convince me to invest in a few more as of the moment I'm not 100% sold.

What do you guys make of these?

Beauty: MAC eyeshadows - Blackberry and Girlie

I decided to treat myself to ONE MAC eyeshadow and as usual I came out with two. Blackberry has been a shade I wanted for a long time but when I went into MAC I saw Girlie ( A shade previously considered only a few times.....)

I think Lily was a big inspiration for the pink shade(Girlie), and a girl at work keeps wearing pink, she has quite a tan so it looks so lovely on her, although I'm pretty pale I think this comes out really nicely. I think both the colours blend so well.

I don't think these photos do Blackberry justice and make it look a lot more brown then it actually is.Tw0six has a really great picture that does it a lot more justice!! Does anyone have tips for taking pictures of MAC eyeshadows? I never seem to be able to get good pictures of them!

Recommend me some of your favourite MAC shades! I still have quite a way to go till my palette is complete!

Ciao
