What is on my desk?

Hi guys, I'm back! I'm so sorry I haven't blogged in a week, I've just got a new job so it's been a bit hectic. Anyway I thought if any of you are like me (nosy) you might like to have a look around my desk.

My Desk, straight on.

From left to right: This is my stationary, I just have jotting paper and all my pens. and in the silver box at the bottom I have paracetamol, ibuprofen, soothers, herbal calming tablets etc.

Middle: I have my mirror on the wall, a heart ornament waiting to be put on the wall which I gotten around to putting up yet. An Easter egg for my niece, I have so many left to buy. All of my make up brushes in a purple container. at the bottom of the picture is my laptop.

Left: I have my container from my Christmas LUSH box, containing all of my toiletries (body wash's, shampoo's, hair products.) In front of that I have just a random gift box with some nail polishes and a mini manicure kit. Then you can see my cup of tea. Then you can see my magazines, drawers and scales. My magazines aren't very interesting, I have Grazia, OK!, Star and Reveal. I have scales on my desk because I was putting things on eBay and need to know how much postage was going to be.

 In my drawers I have hair grips, bands and decorations. I also have jewellery and toothpaste etc.

On top I have Mr Bumble from LUSH. 2 small cupcake lip glosses, I also have an Ann Summers Perfume called Be Naughty.

So that's it, that's my desk. Thank you for reading, if you have any questions or requests please leave me a comment. Also please follow my blog, I put up a post at least once every week!

Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly- First Impressions

Hi Guys, I am going to tell you my first impressions of the LUSH Sweetie pie shower jelly.

I adore this scent! It smells so sweet it is made of Cherries, coconut, jelly and sparkles.

It is the ultimate perfect product for using before a girly night out or for every day, the scent lasts on your skin all day.

This product can be used in many different ways, you can 

Jiggle ‘em, chill ‘em, freeze ‘em, at first I want sure quite how it would work to freeze it but I did some research and I found this: They don't actually freeze like an ice cube they just go really cold. I thought it'd be like an ice cube but it was just really cold, you just use them like a normal shower jelly. Personally I couldn't imagine putting a freezing cold jelly on my skin whilst enjoying a nice hot shower.

Over all, I think this is a really girly product and I will definitely be re-purchasing this. I could easily use this every day!

Valentines Day make-up

Hi Guys, this is going to be a very dramatic smokey eye look. Perfect for a steamy night in or a girly night out.

 

Products I have used:

Colourworks Pallete

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick

2true waterproof liquid eyeliner

NYC Smooth skin mousse foundation

Collection 2000 Supersize mascara

MUA blusher

Avon eyeliner and concealer (to purchase speak to your local Avon rep)

Brushes from 24ace.co.uk

Firstly I put my foundation on, I apply this with my fingers. Then I get started on my eyes, I put a shimmery light/white colour all over the lid then I put a black or grey colour on the outside of the lid and work into the crease. Blend this all until you are happy with the way it looks, once I am happy I apply my liquid liner and comb through my lashes before applying my mascara. I then fill in my eyebrows and comb them through. I then conceal under my eyes and powder my skin, I then contour and put on my blush. Lastly I put on lipstick and then it is finished ready for your date, steamy night in or a girly night out.

January Favourites

Hey Guys, I am going to tell you about my January Favourites, I know it's a bit late but better late than never, eh?

Superdrug Mud Therapy, Raspberry exfoliating mud mask. basically, after cleansing you massage this into the skin  leave it for 10-15 minutes and wash off. I have been loving this because I have oily skin I always feel that my skin is greasy and after using this it seems although my skin is normal and my make up stays on better the day after I have used this. I got this from Superdrug for around £3.

LUSH slammer shower gel, This smells very citrus like this product is obviously meant to wake you up. I use this in my hair mostly it seems to give me a lot of volume and my hair doesn't get as oily as quickly. I've just noticed it says on the bottle that it is an effective hangover remedy too. I haven't tried this out but if you all insist I will try for you. lol. This product is vegan friendly so is perfect for everyone, it was a gift so I don't know how much it is. 

https://www.lush.co.uk/product/358/Slammer---500g

Avon advanced techniques intense repair hydrating leave-in milk, When I wash my hair I don't condition because I have oily hair so I have no reason to add more moisture but over the years the ends of my hair have been damaged from heat etc. So I have been using this on the ends of my hair. This product smells amazing, I cant really describe the smell but either way I would recommend this to everyone! I think this was around £3. They don't sell this anymore but I think this will do the same kind of thing.

MUA heaven and earth eye shadow pallet, I adore this pallet it has all the colours you could need for a day to day use. I use this everyday and you can create so many looks. All of the colours are neutrals and so they suit everyone. I got this from Superdrug for £4, it is well worth the money!

Rimmel London Rich moisture shade 401 Amethyst shimmer, I use this colour pretty much everyday at the moment. I tend to put it on, rub it in and wear a gloss over the top. It is such a wearable colour. It has new packaging and a new name 

http://www.superdrug.com/lips/rimmel-moisture-renew-lipstick-amethyst-shimmer/invt/513725/&bklist=

Collection 2000 super-size fat lash mascara, this is the best mascara I have ever used. It lengthens and adds volume and is so cheap! I would really recommend this for anyone that has a problem getting length in your lashes.
