This has changed my whole foundation routine. It really is the best brush EVER I use mine with my Chanel slides on like an dream and it is also the only brush I have found which applies my broze universal perfectly. Needless to say I am a happy bunny. All hail sigma.
For anyone interested I got mine from lovemakeup.com which had super quick delivary too.
Cheerio

Glitter nails wahooooo
Hellooooo
how lovely are these glitter nails?
Now the instructions don't tell you to put a top coat on however I found that the glitter soon came of the ends and looked a bit tatty, so I slapped a coat of clear on and fannys your aunt they were perfect.
It does take a while to get used to your nails not being smooth but just look at them sparkle away.
Big thumbs up from me, hey it must be good as even my tatty nails got compliments

I saw GOSHS nail glitter in fabulous magazine on Sunday and HAD to have it. I quickly went up to my town centre to make it mine.
I found the little pot of love in superdrug for £5.99. I picked the colour ruby red which quite frankly is actually pink but what the hell it's lovely. There was also a gold which I may have to go back and get come pay day.
I am RUBBISH at painting my nails so believe me when I say this is really easy to do. Paint a clear nail varnish (I used MUA, you can't go wrong for a quid) and then dip into the pot. The glitter is super fine so gives a great full coverage to the nail. I have even got creative with max factors diva pink and then glitter tips - barbietastic I tells ya!

Ooopsie Boots is my weakness
I don't know how I always spend so much in boots. I seriously think my spending alone is bringing the country out of it's recession.
I popped in earlier for some cotton wool pads (which I bleedin well forgot) and came out with all this jazz.
I am a Chanel aqua girl but with my wedding approaching I really needed to count the pennies so was on the look out for a cheap alternative. As an avid follower of blogs and YouTube I had heard all about bojouire healthy mix so thought I would give it a try. I was a little disappointed - not with the foundation BUT with the fact that some dirty mare had opened my bottle and I only noticed when I got home :-( luckily the nice people at boots swapped it for me. I LOVE this foundation. Yes it's not going to be Chanel but it really is lovely. Let's just see if it breaks me out though as it is quite scented.
I also purchased Kate moss's lipstick in number three. This is a lovely peachy nude half way between macs creme de nude and peachstock. Again this is another new fav, however this also has quite a strong smell which I am not a fan of.
Collection 2000 concealer in number 2 - you all know about this so I won't bore you but I is the best!!
A nice cheap powder for my TZone Rimmel stay matte - an oldie but a goodie.
A number 17 nail varnish in ruby gem. This looks a rich deep autumnal red in the bottle but actually comes out a dirty brown. I don't know if it is because this is a 'one coat polish' but it comes out like toffee all sticky and hard to apply- I am not a fan.
I also got the new Rimmel Primer which is nearly identical to the Mac prep and prime but with out the glitter if i am honest I actually prefer the Rimmel but shhhhhhhhhhh dont tell Mac.
Cheers peepio's.
Photos of all the products will be up soon just typing this on my phone.

First Ever Scary Blog
New Purchases - And New Fav''s
Hi Peeps, I have been inspired to start a blog by all the lovely bloggers that are all ready out there and all my friends and work colleagues who if I am honest have been bugging me to start this so that instead of having to call or text me to find out what shampoo or foundation i recommend they could just check on here and bingo.
I was struggling as to what i could put on my shiny first blog post, but i thought what better than a few purchases that have made their way into my firm fav's already.
The first few were from the VO5, now I have to admit that I have always been a Redken all Soft sort of girl, but well the budget wouldn't stretch that far this month so i thought i would check these bad boys out.
![]()
I was quite suprised by the range that was present in superdrug so nearly spent the whole of my lunch hour debating which ones to take the plunge with (does any one else do this i.e just read all the bottles before settling on the first one?). I EVENTUALLY chose the Nourish me Truly range. The brand claims to be 'Adaptive' im not sure if this is just a load of cobblers but what i do know if that I LUUUURVE the way these make my hair feel. Now yes you do have to use much more product that the high end shampoos like Redken but what do you expect these were cheap as chips and at 500ml are not exactly small bottle.
The smell is nice, its not too over powering and smells clean - i'm not a big fan of fruity smelling hair but maybe that is just me! The shampoo does feel a little 'dry' on the hair, now I know that makes no sense but it just doesnt feel rich ann luxe, however the shine and feel of your hair once dried is incredible and this little duo will now be a staple in my shower.
While I was in superdrug i think you will agree that it would have been rude of me to not pick up a few other 'essentials', one of which is now my reach to exfoliator!! As a Xen tan girl i am well aware of the importance of giving my skin a good scrub and have now found the perfect way to do just that. This scrub is so cheap at i think under £2.00, it smells divine and has even managed to get rid of them little bumps on the back of my arms HURAHHH.
