Agent Zero Shine

the POREfessional , Agent Zero Shine - £23.50* Benefit

I got this as one of my Birthday Gifts from my Mumma, Its only been on sale since Boxing Day and I was dying to try it since it was released! I like alot of you have tried POREfessional Primer and really liked what it did for my skin & makeup, although my only hang up with POREfessional Primer was that due to the nature of the product I did sometimes feel like my skin was suffocating when I wore it. I've been using this for around 2 weeks now and I'm really happy with the results. I usually just use the Rimmel Stay Matte translucent pressed powder, which isn't amazing but it definitely works well for a cheap everyday option. I don't want to be reliant on using  Agent Zero Shine everyday as it is more of a luxury product, but I thought I'd give it a good test drive and fair trial by using it everyday for a few weeks. It definitely does what it intended. I apply my make up as I normally do, tap some powder into the lid and then use the brush to lightly dust it over my face but making sure I pay attention to my T-zone. I never used to suffer with oily skin but as I've got older it has crept up on me. I suppose in some ways its better to have oily skin than dry skin...but its still a pain when you're dead set on matte looks like I am. This keeps shine at bay pretty much completely for probably 9 hours plus. It does say to reapply when needed but I don't get time to reapply when I'm at work and then when I'm home my make up comes straight off anyway! What I really like about this product is , when I apply it my make up instantly looks matte, and the powder is really silky and isn't heavy at all. I would definitely recommend this for those of you that have tried POREfessional Primer and liked the results that it gave. Have you tried Agent Zero Shine? Will you be repurchasing it?

These are some of the beautiful sugar coloured things Im loving at the moment! The WhitePepper boots I sooo badly want but they're not cheap, but I guess the colour permits Summer wear..another tick on the Pro's list!!

Turning 25

     So since Monday Im officially a quarter of a century years old haha! In all honesty it wasnt the best and happiest Birthday Ive ever had but the days gone now so theres no need to dwell! I thought I'd show you the gifts I got!! My mum got me most of the bits in the pictures! She even got me a Locharron for Topshop scarf which I didnt even know she knew I liked!! I got some new Black high waisted jeans, which are a massive staple in my wardrobe, I have a few pairs already but I wear them most days and love them to death! The MAC lipstick pictured is Creme'D'Nude - One of the bestest ever nude lipsticks by MAC in my opinion!! I got the obligatory Topshop Jewellery (my absolute favourite) & the Gogo Philip bracelet from my Birthday wishlist! My nanny even got me the Topshop unicorn night tee and gave me some moneys to spend!! I love how Lita-esque these Topshop ALFF Boots are that I bought as a little Birthday treat to myself,  for the bargain sale price of £20 reduced from £70 when I went out with a couple of my girls on the weekend! We went to Burger & Lobster , shopped a bit and then went and had tea & cake at Caffe Concerto near Cannon Street. Im a very lucky pup :) I cant wait to wear my new jeans, paired with a polo neck, the new grey boyfriend coat which I have ordered and my new beautiful Lambswool Locharron Scarf :) Its the simple things, like the thought of a new outfit that excite me!! Thankyou to those of you who wished me Happy Birthday here and on twitter!! Hope youre all having a great week.

Utopia Yourtopia

Models Own Utopia - £5

 

This is one of my all time favourite, most repurchased and most worn nail polishes. Its so versatile and the perfect backing colour for alot of nail art, which is always a bonus. These are a few of my favourite things to do with Utopia. Plain on its own is a gorgeous nudey beige colour with a lilac undertone, for a really quick spice up I simply add studs, diamantes and pearls which are from one of the NPW Nail Art wheels. If I have a little bit of spare time and dont fancy it plain , adding white stripes is an easy one too, and gems can again be easily added to that!! I know there are a lot of people out there who still havent tried Models Own, £5 I guess is quite expensive for a drug store brand when you compare it to the likes of Barry M for £2.99 & £3.99..But to me Models Own really is my favourite for quality,colour range and affordability. Have you tried Models Own Utopia? How do you wear it?

DEER-I-Y

Wall Mount Stag Head - £5.99 TkMaxx/HomeSenses

 

I like a lot of people really like the idea of the stag heads for hanging jewellery - but I A. Would never ever get a real one for obvious reasons, and B. wasnt sure if I was ready to pay the price of the one I was after. I was out shhmoozing around the shops and having a coffee with my mum one afternoon when I saw this small metal stag head. I thought it was really nice and was definitely the type of thing I was after - only a lot smaller and I wanted white. I saw the price and thought why not get it anyway!! My mum had a can of gloss white at home so the next morning after 2 coats of gloss this is how it looks....I LOVE IT!!! This is perfect for small bracelets, a few pairs of hoops and some rings! I think as a starter stag head this is perfect and for under £6 I cant complain! I think after loving how good this looks I'll definitely be having a good look around to find a bigger version! What do you think of faux stag heads for jewellery? Will you be trying out this DIY?

Hola, Hola, the first week of 2014 is done...I must say I'm still suffering deeply with the January blues, but heres a few things I've spent my Christmas money on. The sales have been very tempting but I've been trying to keep purchases to a minimum as its only 2 1/2 weeks until  my Birthday! As always I recommend you check out your local Topshop for some beautiful bargains, but Riverisland has been equally as good this year. I don't know about anyone else but after quite a while of disliking Riverislands style...they're back on my favourites list (Although their online service is a little less than satisfying.) I also bought myself a new bottle of JPG Classique in the Boots Sale for like £30 which is a great deal!! My favourite of the above purchases would have to be the Dolphin earrings. which are absolutely hideous but in the most amazing way - I ADORE THEM! The New Look boots, even though I have only been wearing them in my room they're soooo comfortable! Im planning on wearing them tomorrow night and Saturday - Wagamamas WoOo. What have you been buying in the sales?

What I got..

 Hola, Hello, Happy New Year, its 2014!! I thought I'd share with you a few of the beautiful gifts I got for Christmas! I cant even believe how quick it came and went! The first few weeks of January I always find really sad and depressing as I love Christmas tooo much!! Here are just a few bits I got this Christmas, I got very spoilt this year. I didn't even ask for anything this Christmas (except a new bottle of Jimmy Choo EDP) - as there was nothing I really needed...but I did very well and I'm sooo happy with all my new stuffsss!! I got my new bottle of Jimmy Choo AND Jimmy Choo Flash which smells ridiculously beautiful! Lots of Gok Wan goodies - If you haven't tried his stuff then get yourself to the Boots sales and snap some up because they're amazing products! My Stocking was filled with lovely little bits all of which are perfect for me and my boy even got me the bag from my December Wishlist...My amazing mumma got me a new lens for my Canon too which is out of this world!! Hello 55-250mm Witwoooo!! I had a lovely Christmas even though I would have liked for it to not have gone so fast!! And then last night on NYE of all nights I had a migraine so didn't even touch a drop of Prosseco...depressing or what - Welcome 2014!! Overall a good festive season, now Im looking forward to 2014 & the end of the month when its my Birthdayyyy!! Look out for my cute birthday Giveaway.
 What did you all get for Christmas?? Anything similar??

Merry GingerBread House-Mas

 I got the gingerbread house kit from IKEA, Its not really a kit per-say but it has the walls...so I guess the tricky bit is done for you. The icing is Royal icing which is made from egg whites, icing sugar and lemon juice. You simply assemble your house and decorate as you wish. Since I can remember Ive always wanted to  make my own gingerbread house but I was too young and then with work and other commitments finding the time to make one so close to christmas was never do-able. So..when I saw this kit in IKEA I grabbed one...and finally a dream is made reality haha. Im pretty proud of it and for a first attempt I think it turned out really well!! I think a new tradition has been established.. and it was sooo fun to do!! What do you think? Did you make a gingerbread house or do any other festive baking?
The big day is only hours away now so I hope all of my readers and followers have a Merry Christmas :)

Cat Claws

NPW Cat Crazy Nail Stickers - £3

 

How effing cute are these nail stickers? NPW are a great brand and their nail art products are amazing value for money!! When I saw these in my local Topshop I loved them, and I'm not even really a big fan of cats haha!! These stickers can be applied onto bare nails or over nail polish, there are a few different designs in the pack - you simply peel, stick & top coat!  I used mine over Barry M Lychee the first time I tried them. My only gripe with these would be that because they're stickers not water decals they're a bit thicker which means getting them to lie completely flat to the nail can be a bit troublesome. I know there are alot of cat lovers out there who would go crazy for these! Overall I really like these nail stickers, as you know I love nail art - but sometimes if I've got a busy week at work I dont get the time or energy to do too much to my nails so these are an easy quick fix!!  I know theres only 5 days to go , but these would be a perfect stocking filler or Secret Santa gift! What do you think? Will you be trying out NPW nail stickers?

I always save my Boots advantage card points throughout the year so I never even have to pay for it out of my own pennies! Perfect.  This set is originally priced at £60, which is still a good deal considering 4 of the products are priced at £10 and just over! The set contains 9 full sized Soap & Glory products and this year also contains 3x1ml of 'Make Yourself Youthful' super serum. The only product from this set that I don't think I have tried previously is 'Scrub of your life' although I might be wrong & I'm assuming it will be similar to their other exfoliating products! The Righteous Butter is my favourite ever moisturiser its sooo good! Theres no need to really harp on about how good all of there products are because I'm sure most of you already know & I'm sure you've seen  my previous posts showing love for their products!!
