NARS Fling Lip Set

So today I did something quite naughty in my lunch time, I went into John Lewis to pick up some "presents and came out with a pretty nice one for myself! I've been eyeing up this NARS lip set since i first saw it in the gift guide and today i broke and came home with the beauty! I am now trying to hide it within my existing collection of make up from my fella whilst he's out playing squash!

So here's how I'm going to justify it - in terms of high end makeup its a bit of a bargain at only £30-00 as it comes with an amazing plastic lips shape case (very Lulu Guinness) which I think will be perfect for storing stud earrings in, 2 lipsticks, a velvet matt lip pencil and a velvet Gloss pencil!

I only own NARS face products but I believe the lipsticks are full size, 3.4 grams (they normally retail for £18.50) and the pencils are mini but still a pretty good size. The matt pencil is 1.8 gram and the gloss is 2.5g.

With flash - Roman Holiday Lipstick, Damage Lipstick, Dolce Vita Matt Lip Pencil and Baroque Velvet Gloss LipstWiick Pencil.

Little Beauty Bargain! :)

Today i popped in Boots and picked up a right little bargain! As I'm sure I've mentioned before I'm a little bit obsessed with orangey coloured lipstick for the autumn so am over the moon to find this little bad boy for just a quid. 

Basically as the new autumn winter shades are coming in, they were selling off all the end of line products so I picked up a NO7 moisture drench lipstick.These usually retail at £9.00, I like these lipsticks generally and find them long wearing for a high street product. There also great for classic shades and everyday wear.

Onto the colour....

I'm actually doing this post from Starbucks with my iphone as the wireless has gone off at my boyfriend's house :( So apologies for the bad pictures, the swatch on my hand much better shows the colour which really is delightful and will go beautifully with Half Baked UD eye colour from the naked palette.

Anyway i'll keep it sweet and short as I can't bare to be one of those knobbers who sits blogging in Starbucks :)

Tesco Haul Review (Part 1 of 2)

Good Afternoon lovelies,

As promised here is part one of my review about my tesco product haul from yesterday. I will be reviewing the make up products today and the hair products tomorrow :-)

First of all let's begin with my bargain nail polishes :)

At 39p each these were a right bloody bargain and i actually really like the packaging, think they look a lot more expensive.

Soft Lilac 

It's not very purply more of a pearly colour with a very very slight hint of purple but i do like the polish. It went on easy and gave good coverage with two coats.

Black Cherry

My fave polish all the haul, only actually had to use one coat and it went on in a lovely deep purply red shade. 

Looks like quite a high end polish as left a very glossy and rich finish.

Fudge

The colour looks a lot richer in the bottle than it did on my nails - found the colour quite insipid on my hands.

It's a nice subtle colour and would be good if you wanted to put something really neutral on your nails but I like my nails to make a bit of a statement :)

Vibrant Pink

LOVE THIS!!! It's a very good fakey of Chanel's Rose Exuberant in fact :-) love a good designery looking polish.

The only thing i didn't like about this polish is it took 3 coats to get good coverage.

Scarlet Red

As a general rule i don't think a gal can own too many red polishes :) It's a classic timeless look and i personally don't think there's anything classier than a perfectly polished set of red nails.

Nice colour but nothing to shout home about - similar to about 8 polishes i already have. No qualms about quality though.


Overall

Pretty simple conclusion here, where can you go wrong with a 39p nail varnish that looks nice on your nails? You can't. If you see these it's def worth picking them up.

All About Face Lipstick in Soft Coral £1.49

I don't know about you but the one problem I seem to have with cheap lipsticks is the fact they seem to dry your lips out rather than moisturize them.  This product is no exception, which is a shame because i really like the coverage and colour and it did actually stay on for quite a long time before i needed to reapply a coat.

Overall worth the price :)

Barbara Daly Lipstick in Iced Gem £9.00

Typically with me (and I’m sure many of you) My fave product has ended up being the most expensive one. I often see the Barbara Daly range in Tesco and have been put off by the fact it’s not exactly dirt cheap and I haven’t actually heard of it before. But I will admit I am pleasantly surprised.
First off the product is extremely moisturising on the lips (almost feels like putting Vaseline on). Secondly the colour is lovely, I bought Iced Gem as I’m trying to get a few more subtle lipsticks for a more natural look for day to day wear.
The product is lovely so can defo recommend it onwards, has anyone else tried anything from the Barbara Daly range?


I will be trying out my new hair products this evening so will be back with a blog about them shortly. Also after all the great feedback on my competition i'm going to try and make my blog a little more personal by sharing one of my favorite songs everyday this week. The first is Youth by Daughter. Haunting and Beautiful, this song never gets old to me. Hope you enjoy :)

Football, Food and (X) Factor

Today i lost my football virginity and my boyfriend finally dragged me to a football match :) In return for this sacrifice of my Saturday afternoon he's agreed he will go and see My Fair Lady.

My major dilemma was what the hell do you where to a football match, apparently heels and a maxi dress are both no gos!

So here is what i wore..

Jacket- Vintage, Scarf - Alexander Mcqueen £165-00, Super Skinny Jeans- New Look, Brogues - River Island
White Shirt - H&M

 I'm also wearing one of my fave lipsticks which is an old Kate Moss for rimmel one, i have two as someone told me they were going to stop selling them soon! If you're inclined you buy it in shade 20 here still!

As the fella has still got a dodgy eye we've stayed in tonight and had a bit of a feast and a few ciders while we watch the X Factor! I made lamb koftas, corgettes fritters, potato wedges and we had a load of other Greek treats.

Thanks for reading
