OPI Rock Goddess Nail Polish Collection Review

I'm blogging mad tonight, but then again, on a roll!

On Monday my new Autumn OPI Rock Goddess collection came. So far I am loving it! My favourite colour so far is definitely Yellopalooza, it makes a pleasant change having a different toned Yellow on to Topshops 'The Bee's Knees' which I use on a regular basis. Please be aware, these are not full size. There are 4 bottles, all of which contain 3.75mls.The shades that come in the collection along with the free bracelet are:

• Yellopalooza ([Yellowy colour] My personal favourite!)
• Stand in Lime for days (Lime green colour)
• Rolling bones (metallic grey)
• The drummer is hot ( the warm toned red)

These kits vary in cost ranging from around £10. After all, for one thing it's OPI a prestigious nail brand so paying extra is worth it, besides, who wouldn't want an adorable free skull bracelet to get you into the Halloween mood.. Ooooh, Aaaah!!

Haul! MAC, Boots and Ebay #1

Peekaboo! 

So today is Wednesday and half way through the week, and I got a couple of parcels in the post! One from M.A.C, another from Boots and the last, Good Old Ebay! So here is, I guess, a mini cosmetics haul, Oooh!

Lets start with one of England's Largest Drugstores, Boots! This was a relatively small order, I purchased a Maybeline Colour Sensation Lipstick in 'Coral Pop' which is a beautiful creamy, long lasting Lipstick and a New Mascara (very exciting) by Rimmel. What can I say, the Rimmel 123 volume lash is amazing, it has 3 settings so you can adjust how voluminous you want your lashes to be! 

 From Ebay I ordered an incredible palette for £14.99. It has 88 neutral shades and is by a brand called Jazooli. It is super super pigmented and has a massive collection of colours. It has a largest mirror and comes with 2 double ended foam applicator (which I am not keen on ever).

So, from M.A.C ( I tend to purchase online because my nearest store is about an hour away *cries*) I got just a lipstick. But not just any old Lipstick.. A Viva Glam one, Yeyyy! Its the LADY GAGA Viva Glam in sheer plum, I believe.. But don't hold me too it!

                                                                                                          

 What is your favourite MAC Lipstick? I'd love to know!

Mascara Madness!

Hola! 

It's Sunday, and tomorrow is Monday *cries*, and that means back to school for another week of grueling work :( However, to make myself feel vaguely better, I am doing a tad more blogging, I know its silly, but thank you for 7 followers already, it means so much! I just hope that number, keeps going up and up, but on with the show!

So today I bought another mascara, The Rimmel Volume Flash Scandal Eyes and as far as I can see, it's great! First of all can I just mention the packaging, it is the most beautiful fluorescent Orange. It seems Rimmel is going through a slight, how do you say, Orange Fetish? The Orange on this, the Orange on the Wake Me Up foundation/concealer range (my current favorite) it's like they can't stop!

Secondly, I adore this formula, it is slightly on the clumpy side, contrary to Rimmel's claims, and I also found it is very waterproof which is an added bonus, however this can be a disadvantage, as I shall go on to say. When applying this mascara I do find a lot of clean up is needed due to the hefty applicator. Because it is so bulky, it is incredibly hard to reach the inner lashes without decorating your eye and thanks to its waterproof formula, I find it can be hard to neatly clean any excess.

So yes I do really like this mascara and the price tag of £6.99 isn't too bad, however I think I will be sticking to my nearest and dearest, MAC Zoom Lash. It is a tad pricey at £14.00 but is definitely worth it. 

If like me want to have a back up Mascara, that definitely in no way breaks the bank, I recommend the Milani Lotta Lash (you can purchase it here.. but you can also get it in poundland!). It is a lovely formula, volumizes well (with a couple of coats) and also lasts a long time.

What is your favourite Mascara? Do you have any recommendations? If so I would love to hear!

Rediscovering Old loves #1 - Miley Cyrus

It probably won't come as much as a surprise to anyone, about 8 years ago, my life pretty much revolved around the whole 'Miley Cyrus' and 'Hannah Montanna' saga. I had all her CD's, album soundtracks, the films themselves and somewhere, even tape recordings of the TV programmes, yes, I did just say Tape haha.

 Now almost a decade on, Miley Cyrus' reinvented image has hooked me yet again. Yes, there has been some controversy about Miley's new look, however, who really cares? As long as she can still produce good new music with a catchy beat, I don't have a problem with her 

new  'bad gal' style, after all, she can't be known as Hannah forever!?!

I Love the new Miley and can't wait for her newest Album 'Bangerz' to be available

(you can pre-order here). 

What do you think of her new look? Love it or Loathe it, just don't forget it!

Ickle Baby Bot

I went shopping in Lush on Sunday.. I may have purchased a couple of things too..

Ok I confess, I bought 11 bath bombs, and yes I know this may sound excessive, but when you are there in Lush, the smell affects your brain, makes you do things you probably wouldn't

normally do... it's like they put  'Buy me'  essence into each bath bomb.

 So yes I purchased:

• Ickle Baby Bot
• Space Girl
• Honey Bee
• Sex Bomb
• Dragon' Egg
• Happy Pill  (makes me very happy!)
• Phoenix rising
• Fizz Banger
• Rose Queen
• Think Pink
• Butter Ball

Many of these I have already used before apart from Butter Ball, Space Girl and Ickle Baby Bot. Last night, I had a bath *Gasp*, and used Ickle Baby Bot and it is incredible. I currently have a cold and have been having trouble sleeping, sometimes taking a couple of hours to get off too sleep and with this bath bomb, I literally passed out the second my head hit the pillow, (maybe a slight exaggeration, but nevertheless a damn sight faster than usual). This is down to the 3 sleep inducing oils, Chamomile, Lavender and Sandle Wood.

Lush claims that its Ickle Baby Bot will 'Exterminate tiredness and send your baby off to the land of nod' which it 100% does. I love this Bath Bomb and would definitely repurchase, seeing as it is only £1.95 and is by far one of my favorite. 

Besides, who wouldn't want an adorable, blue robot to spruce up your bath time! :)
