Pixi Blusher

After hearing lots of good things about the brand Pixi I treated myself to a new "energy blush" by them. At £14 for me it was a little pricey but having tried it out so far I think it is worth it. I got it in the colour Pretty Petal it is a pretty girly pink shde which is good for me as anything to red can make me look very unattractively flushed :/ The actual blush isn't very obvious but gives you a subtle pink sheen which is very pretty. The other part is a pale highlight which helps make this give you healthy radiant look. I've used it recently with it on my face without anything else which is rare (I love my bronzer and foundation) and I like the result as I find it really wakes you up. Thumbs up from me :)

Couple of summery item's i've bought recently

Excuse the awful title I am not in a particularily creative- title sort of mood haha!!

On to the clothes. Below is one of my favourite new tops from H&M. It was £7.99 and although i wasn't sure about it in the shop I am now loving it. Its baggy and short nut not cropped- don't worry I'm not trying to pull that off haha.

I also got this playsuit from H&M a few weeks ago and it was a bargain at £7.99. I wore it on a flight as its super comfy but still fashionable- so very me!! One bad thing (excuse the crudeness) its not exactly toilet friendly haha- but still I love it! Would you wear a play suit?

Finally I bought this top from the new look sale about a week ago. It was £8 down from £22!! I know I always find a good bargain. Anyway I love the shoulder detail and the colour I think is very grown up. I have worn with a pair of jean and it looks casual but if you wanted to wear it to work it would look perfect I think with a high waisted pencil skirt.

What do you think? Do you like them or not?? (sorry about the bad photography hehe)

Best Mascara I've tried recently

The other day in boots I decided to buy a new mascara and with not much thought picked up 17 Wild Curls mascara- embarrassingly because of the free gift!! This seemed to be completely wrong in the sense that the mascara was very good but the gift was well fine, it came with an eyelash curler which keeps breaking if you close it enough to actually effect the eyelash, and eyeliner which is fine- probably won't be using it- and a fairly good pair of tweezers.

On to the mascara. Having recently bought the appallingly bad Collection 2000 mascara (soo bad i threw it out) I really wanted to find a good new what that had some difference to my other favourites- clinique high-impact mascara or Maybelline XXL Pro length+ volume- so I chose a curl one. I am soooo impressed it holds curls literally for hours (maybe create one for my poker straight hair???), the colour is very black (not of that namby-pamby greyish rubbish) and I loooooove the packaging. Definately one of my new favourites and Five stars from me!!

On another note I've been looking on the website www.fragrancedirect.co.uk and have noticed some SERIOUS BARGAINS so I would recommend having a look on it to buy some great discount cosmetics!!!

Thankyou for reading and follow me to make my day :)

A little bit off Topic :)

I know this is meant to be a "beauty" blog but I must share with you the recipe of saviours!! If like me you adore your chips its all to easy to either go crazy with a mcdonalds large or entirely ban yourself from so much as smelling a chip (any contact tends to make me hungryyyy!) So in my younger years of Teen vogue I came across this recipe: Devin Alexander Mcdonalds Fries from her book "Fast food Fix", it makes the most delicious french fries which I must say I absolutely love... Anyway being as lovely a I am ;) I will share the recipe:

• 1 3/4 teaspoons salt


• 2 Russet poatoes (1 pound= o.45 Kilos)


• 1 teaspoon of Extra virgin olive oil

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 Teaspoon of salt. Meanwhile, Preheat the oven to 400 F (about 200DC). Set the potatoes ona cuting board. Make straight cuts on the 4 long sides of the potatoes to remove peel (I never bother myself). With a vegetable peeler or small knife pell the ends of the potatoes. Discard the peels. With a KNife, cut the remaining potatoes lengthwise into 1/4 inch think sticks, varying in length. On a scale, weigh 9 onces of potatoes or measure two cups. Transfer the potatoes into the boiling water. Cook for exactly 2 1/2 minutes- no longer or they break. Drain in a colander. set aside for 5 minitues to cool.

Transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl. Add the oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Carefully tos to coat well. Place the potatoes not touching in a single layer to a large nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes turning potatoes about every 5 minutes, or until crisp and golden.

Please note that had nothing to do with the recipe and you can find the book on Amazon for about £9.99

Best Face Wash ever!!!

If you have skin anything like mine (i.e quite dry :( ) then finding a good face wash that won't make our face unbelievably dry is a mammoth task. Anyway, last year before going to a small welsh festival (verry interesting!) I needed face wipes and being in tesco I saw these babies and thought that I might as well try them as they were about £2. Being completely pleased with them (they didn't make my skin feel red raw) I decided to try this: My skin Rise and Glow daily Facial Wash.Unlike most face washes it isn't gel based and so is creamy and lovely! The strawberry in it "helps to control skin blemishes" and the cimicifuga (whatever that is!) "controls excess shine and oil". It gives you that clean feeling but also moisturises your skin- So no more dry skin days!!

I am on my fourth bottle of this £2.19 bargain and am still loving it. I plan on doing reviews on the other products in the range as I have them all!

On a final note, what could I do to get more blog followers in your opinion???

My Guilty Pleasures 1

Peter Andre- The next Chapter

I am usually a bit of a Katie Price fan, but with a lack of her shows I decided to watch Peter andre and I am finding myself slowly falling in love with him. He is sooooo cute with the kids and everyone that he just MAKES you love him. Anyway I 'm a lover of reality shows so this one definately is filling the hole at the moment.

Snack-a- Jacks salt and vinegar

I love everything about crisps however due to the summer holiday looming they just aren't really suitable, HOWEVER, these snacks are soooo goooooooood .... mmm I had some earlier and want more now!!!! They are very low fat (well they are rice cakes!) and calories but full of flavour... BUY THEM NOW!!

Poundland!

Yes, I know, I never though I would but I'm loving this shop. My sister and I went there the other day (her idea-I was being a bit of a snob) and I am loving the cheapness. I love myself a quick bargain and this place was full of it, I got some shampoo- which is very good! as well as curlers (the bendy ones- just wanted to try them) and yes a five packs of trebor mints. My sister got some nickie clarke hair serum for yes- £1!!

What are your guilty pleasures?
