Whilst working at a wedding fair on Sunday there happened to be a beauty salon stand next to mine, I’m a sucker for all thing beauty and was drawn into their large (expensive) selection of OPI products.

Although I was totally tempted to spend obscene amount of money of some stunning nail polishes I was quick to withdraw Interest when I saw the price they had on them! OUCH to say the least!

Well they did have one little bargain I couldn’t resist 0 OPI AvoJuice Lotions - on offer at trial sizes for £10 not to shabby a price tag so I thought what the hell!

So I got one of each "smell" they had on offer and ended up with

Mango

Jasmine

Ginger Lily

Cran & Berry

Hibiscus Blossom

Coconut Melon

All are completely scrummy, smell completely divine! And Ginger lily is my favourite. And they are great handcreams- I was intending to give 3 away as a Xmas present but I have decided for the greater good they are staying with me!

I LOVE free!

 

First off I bring you the Tesco Freebee - Dove damage therapy intensive repair express treatment conditioner

 

A nice size little sample 50ml in fact! This little bottle boasts that it will give you all the benefits of a 20 minute hair treatment but you use it like a conditioner. Such a tall order and I had massive high hopes for this products but it didn’t quite hit the mark. It is a good product and is somewhat more intensive than a conditioner but nowhere near as nourishing as my treatments that I have to leave on for a prolonged amount of time so I give it a 3 out of 5

 

It retails at around £3.30 a bottle

 

Then I have my department store sample - Sisley Lip & eye complex

 

A tiny sample from the department store but with a hefty price tag of £94 per 15ml bottle I can understand why! I am however in love with this cream; I am currently now saving for it for my collection as it really does help to hide the signs of ageing. And if I had the money to spend on this product I most defiantly would! ONE DAY lol. 5 out of 5!

 

Another department store sample - is Clinique Youth Surge SPF 15

 

Now I am in no means due to use anti-aging products by my personal motto is it’s never too early to start! So I have and again this is another product I would recommend. This time it’s at a slightly more affordable price tag of between £28-£39 for a pot but it would last me a while! This made my skin feel great and I noticed a difference my makeup appeared smoother and generally I felt better about myself and my skin, I was noticeable softer and looked moisturised without feeling greasy. 5 out of 5! 

My final freebee was from a random magazine - Maybelline - The smoother skin retexturing primer.

 

I love primers and feel they are a must for any cosmetic box, they allow makeup to look smoother and last longer! However this primer is not one I will be adding to my collection and am might glad I got this small sample before I went and spent my money on it. It’s a clear jelly like substance and when applied leaves the skin looking dewy but feeling greasy. I had to wash my hands twice to remove the feeling. and again when applying my foundation I found there was no benefit to the application at all in fact it made it harder. And at a price point of £10 there are far better products on the market. It boasts that it gives a matt effect but I felt it did the opposite and I had to apply oodles of powder over my foundation to stop it looking wet! I give it a 1 out of 5

 

 

Love

 

 

The reason why I am doing this post is

 

1. Because I love this dress.

2. I got new nail polishes I couldn’t wait to play with.

And 3. Because collection 2000 have an amazing palette out to buy at the moment!

 

Right so I will start off with my nails this is the bit I would get done before I even started to do my make up so I will do it in order of me getting ready for a night out with my girl .

 

I have used a selection of nail polishes -

 

1. As always I started with a clear base coat.

2. I put 2 coats of Rimmel polish in Black

3. Used in a colour selection from Orly's Nail art selection to paint the strips across the nail - I chose silver, purple, blue and hot pink :O)

 

 

Next the Make-up.

 

This is a Palette available to purchase in any shop that stocks Rimmel Products- it’s a great little accessory to any make-up box and would fit in with a large number of themes.

Some of the colours apply better than others, and you will find that when applying not only will you need to put on a few layers but that also you may find flakes of the colour on your cheeks after applying ( easily removed with a big blusher brush)

 

The colour selection available is Yellow, Purple, Emerald Green, Pink, Bright Blue, Lime Green, Mid Green, and Dark Blue & Black

Its a bargin as well at under £5 you just cant say no! - this is something we would deffinatly use to creat the looks for our next range photo shoot!

Right well now you have gorgeous nails and make up to die for its time to dress up and accessorise!

The dress i have chosen is of course Rio Black - which has zig zags in Multi colours = AMAZING

i have searched the internet high and low for accessories i would use and buy to complete my look!

 

The dress Rio £50 by contagious clubwear can be found at - http://www.contagiousclubwear.com/p-791-rio-black-dress.aspx

The coat is tantrum in black also from contagious clubwear £50 - http://www.contagiousclubwear.com/p-284-tantrum-black-coat.aspx

Getting into the true swing of Halloween i have done my Halloween nails and make up which could go with a number of costumes this hollow’s eve.

My makeup i have done to go with one of my 2 favourite costumes from contagious - Siren the sexy Vampire or Corpse Bride taking sweet revenge

 

 

 

 

 

 

The make up was super simple to do i used 4 items all fairly cheap products - lipstick and lip liner both from the george basic range really great red!

The eye shadow was body shop black and the liner was GOSH black

 

 

Now for my nails i really couldnt decide so i did 5 halloween styled nails! hope you like them

Sat down with my husband last night on date night to watch the hangover part 2! i remember the first on it was hilarious, and this one didn’t disappoint either.

 

It defiantly entertained my Thursday night, it was very funny although there was one character that almost made me gets up and turn of the film and that would be Zach Galifianakis! Unfortunately he skipped right past funny and into to uncontrollably annoying, i find the actor a bit of a pain in my behind anyway so when he hit off the charts in annoying was exaggerated in the hangover 2 i almost wanted to kill him.

But bearing that in mind i wouldnt watch it again, but is was good as a one watch wonder :O)

 

we all know how hard it is to be able to afford the gym at the moment! It’s not easy, and workout DVD's are not that cheap either, i stumbled across this great little site the other day which has a wealth of videos and knowledge for you to do at home and for FREE!

we all know that contagious clubwear is one of the more sexy and revealing of clubwear brands and i don’t know about you! But i need a little encouragement in the body department to pull them off. And i found using this free site a great little gem!

 

http://www.exercisetv.tv/

 

this site has both full clips and short clips available to watch FREE! = AMAZING

another way to keep the work out costs down is buy your workout DVD's second hand from Ebay www.Ebay.co.uk

they do the same job at a fraction of the price .... and to me it makes nooo difference if the DVD is new or not!

My current workout Guru's who's DVD's give me the motivation to finnish are:

Jillian Michaels - she has a large number of DVD's available to purchase my current top 2 being Ripped In 30 & 30 Day Shred!

they will get you sweating like a B***h, and in the 30minutes give you what feels like an hour work out!

 

Remember exercise helps you sleep, releases endorphins and create a healthier happier you!

 

And Remember doing all this exercises - will build your confidence

What’s your Routine before you apply your make up on a night out! or when you arrive home after a great night?

Are you guilty of coming home getting undress and flying into bed with your face still painted? i know i am... it happens to us all especially when were tired and/or drunk.

You have heard it all before why it is so important to do these 3 steps, the beauty industry drums it into us .... we should stick to it no matter what our skin type.

 

Oily Skin

If you are a sufferer of oily skin you NEED to do these 3 steps as leaving make-up and the traces of the day on your face can lead to skin breakouts! and no one likes a spot.

 

Dry Skin

Same applies you just get a different result not C,T & M can cause your skin to dry out further and give you an early onset of wrinkles.

 

Sticking to a good routine with great products will improve your skins condition and help reduce breakouts.

I’m currently using a miss match of products something I’m not normally keen on doing.

So in my routine I currently use...

Virgin Vie - Now known as Vie at Home

Their Control Compex Purifying Skin Tonic for Balanced Skin & Bright Eyes gental Make-up remover

 

Soap & Glory - Face Soap & Clarity & Scrub your nose in it.

 

 

Virgin Vie Clear Thoughts Soothing Night Cream & Clinique Moisture Surge.

 

 

 

My Current eye is set on getting a full collection of clinique products as im in love with the moisture surge.

  Do you have any recomendations? im always up for trying new products ! expecially when it comes to my skin. i have been moisturising since i was 16, and get the od comment that i look 4 years younger than i actually am.... that brightons my day :O)
