Poundland you evil minx you!

I really need to stay away from Poundland. Well maybe one day...

These are todays purchases. Eyeshadow, blusher, lipstick, another cuticle care stick and a roll on blemish killer(?). All in all, not bad for a fiver I'd say!

Lovely wee Rimmel shadow, it's called Celestial Sapphire from the Glam Eyes range. I love the quilted pattern and the wee crown, so cute that I'll probably hate using it and spoiling it! I do love my blue shadows though so it's nice knowing I have this lovely shade should I need it.

I'm not usually a big fan of blusher as I'm so pale but I thought I could at least try it out. What with spring/summer coming up, my face should get a bit more colour to it so a wee pale pink blush might look nice on that.

The cuticle stick, I won't be able to try out until I soak my nails off, got some false ones in the post from ebay and couldn't resist putting them on! I've never done it before so it wasn't a fantastic job but it was nice to see what they looked like on and get used to them.
The blemish stick, I love already. Smells great and tried it on a spot that has taken my face hostage, it goes on really nice then dries up quite quickly so I'm hoping it dries it up and it goes away asap!

Monday madness!

Got a few things delivered from ebay and bought a few things too.

The lashes and gel eyeliner are from ebay. The liner has a MAC logo on it but it wasn't advertised as MAC on the site. It cost 99p so its either a bargain find or a fake!
The lashes look lovely! Nice and natural, not too over the top.

The lipgloss duo is from poundland, can you guess how much it cost? Haha. It's called spice coral. I've tried the colour side, its not too thick but goes on nicely. Gives a nice wee shine and feels really nice on too.

The orange tube is a nail and cuticle scrub pen, also from poundland. This is me trying to get my nails in a good, healthy condition. Well its a start!

The band and comb were a set from, you guessed it! Poundland! I needed a wide toothed comb so thought this looked perfect!

Have you bought any goodies today?

Monday nails

My friend Michaela did my nails for me on Monday night. I can't wait for all my false nail stuff to arrive, I hate them all being different sizes!

I only have my nail glue and nail cutters so its a start I suppose. Just need everything else too!

Can't wait to try this out, its a lovely pale purple/lilac colour. And what a steal from eBay, it was a pound something!

New nail polish

Picked these four polishes up during the week. Both Technic polishes are from Bodycare, the pink crackle was £1.99 and the glitter polish was 99p.
The N.Y.C ones are from Superdrug, two for £2.49.

The pink crackle polish, I tried this on top of the orange N.Y.C polish (#221 Spring Street) and was very disappointed. So much so that I stuck black crackle over it to cover it up. I'll get a black polish and see if its any better.

Haven't tried the glitter polish yet but my three year old had and she loves it! Haha.

Now the N.Y.C polishes. I love them! The long brushes, even coverage and the selection of colours. I'll definitely be purchasing from this range again!

Beautiful!


Wee cover up job as the pink crackle ruined it!

Have you bought any new polishes this week? What range is your favourite?

Wee Sunday night out

My favourite local band has started playing again in my favourite pub. This makes me very happy!

Decided to change my nails up to go see them, different base polish this time. Still loving crackle though (bit behind on the times). It was a rush job so excuse the crapness. I'll get better one day.


Hope you all had lovely Sundays as well!

My nails

Decided I was going to sit and do my nails. They are in awful condition but I don't have the money to get a manicure and nice ones put on so a wee lick of polish is an improvement on them bare.



I've had both these for a wee while and never thought to try them together. I'm always using dark polish which in hindsight is rather silly!
Anyway the polish on the left, Miss Beauty, don't quote me as I can't remember for certain, was bought in Wilkinsons for a few pound at the most.

It's a tad watery but two thin layers and you get a really good colour. Nice and solid with mega shine!


It dries really quickly as well. Since buying this polish I've been really impressed.

Next was the Collection 2000 Nail Smash Top Coat. Again I think bought out of Wilkinsons for a few pound. I love Collection 2000! It's affordable and any makeup I've bought made by them has been nice and airy, not clogged up my skin.



I'm rather impressed with the end result if I'm honest. I'd be happier if my nails were a bit longer and nicer shaped but one step at a time!


My three year was also impressed and made me do her nails too! (The black lines on her face are whiskers because she's a cat today apparently).

False eyelashes and I

I'd never worn false eyelashes until new year just past. Didn't think they looked that bad!


So I decided to buy some off eBay to see if new year was a fluke or if I do actually like them. It was 99p for two pairs so I wasn't expecting the best quality but they will do for trying out :)



I don't really like the look of the top ones so on my next night out I'll give the bottom ones ago. Who knows when that will be though!



Flipped them over to show how long they are, quite! Think after these ones I'll buy more natural looking ones. Although I do love some of the extravagant lashes out there!

Where do you buy your lashes? What glue do you use? And any tips for applying?

Avid ebayer

I do love a good ebay bargain! Expecting some more things soon but this came today. In case you can't tell from my url, I love Star Wars :)

I sometimes forget I've bought stuff then get a wee surprise when my postman knocks the door. He's the cheeriest guy ever, it's great!

My hair

Over the years I have dyed my hair way too much! I'm now giving it a rest, letting my natural hair grow through and get healthier! Any tips, advice etc is very welcome!

For now I use the Aussie 3 minute wonder once a work and Alberto Balsam for washing/conditioning.

This is what my hair looks like now (also hello to my face). It's black which is ever so slowly coming out and becoming brown/red/blonde with a blue fringe. The blue is coming out as well, turning green/ blonde. I don't know if I should strip the colour or let my hair do it itself...



My long term goal hairwise is for it to be long, shiny and healthy. Colour undecided.

My introductory rambling

I'm sick of telling myself I'm going to start treating myself better then not doing anything about it. This time I am. Losing weight, eating better, giving up smoking, moisturising, saving up and buying myself the things I would like. I am a mother but I'm also me, I'd like to remember what she's like. So welcome to the documentation of my journey to remember and better myself. Bear with me while I get the hang of this website.
