NOTD

No Flash.

Gosh Gasoline and Gosh Purple Heart.

Purple Heart with Gasoline Accent Ring Finger.

With Flash.
Excuse the mess! I was too excited about photographing them to tidy them up. Shabby! I have read a lot of bad reviews about the Purple Heart polish, calling it ugly. I love it, its a dark bottle green colour but in the light, it turns a gorgeous purple colour. You like it?


Mud Therapy - Raspberry Exfoliating Mud Mask.




Ever since I was around 11 and had started to become interested in make-up and beauty, I have always used one face mask. I have flitted between others, but always come back to this one. I love it, a lot.

What Is It?
'Mud Therapy - Raspberry Exfoliating Mud Mask' By Superdrug. It's a clay based face mask with raspberry seeds and apricot kernels.

How Much Does It Cost?
£2.59 for a tube of 75ml. I think this is a bargain compared to lots of others out there. It also lasts quite a while, which adds to value for money. I can get around 20, if not more applications out of it.

What Does It Claim To Do?
"This clay based mask will refresh the complexion, leaving skin softer, smoother and radiant."

The Packaging.
The packaging is nothing particularity special, but isn't ugly either. It's simple and fairly minimal.

Does It Work?
I absolutely adore this mask. It dries fairly quickly, and really works! My skin feels so smooth afterwards and looks refreshed and radiant. Application is good, as the mask is quite thick, so it doesn't run anywhere. I always apply my mask with a small hair-dye application brush. It's a wash off mask, and it comes off with ease compared to others I have tried, and rubbing it off under running water exfoliates your face really well.

Would You Recommend It?
Yes, yes yes! Obviously, I am a big fan, overall it's a great product and good value for money. Next time you are in Superdrug pick a tube up for yourself!

I am stuck in a rut.. Advice?

Hello, this is a bit of a strange post but I need some advice! I took the hair plunge a couple of months ago, and went from bleach blonde to a dark purple. And now I'm really bored. I want to go either lilac, or bright red. Although i'm pretty open to anything.
Here is my face with the blonde and again with the purple.

Please help! What colour should I go for next?

Cheryl Coles Footwear Collection.. My Pick.

When I first found out about Cheryl Cole's shoe collection, I presumed she would be doing an affordable range of shoes for young women. She described her range as 'killer heels that don't kill your feet.'
To be honest, only a couple really stood out for me, and I don't think I like them enough to fork out £120 for them! I expected a collection which was far more edgier than this. And considering most of her fans are in the 16-25 age range, the prices are a bit steep. Although the quality of materials she has used are obviously really high. Here is the whole collection.




 The 'Ri-Ri' boot is inspired and named after Rihanna, the 'Young Royal Hotness' is inspired after Pippa Middleton and the 'Byker Grove' is inspired after her roots. And although pretty cheesy, I quite like that.

Overall, I think they are probably a great investment piece if you like them enough. But I cant help but feel a little disappointed in the collection it's self.
Funky Munky - Jane.
A Fringe Tripped Zipped Boot.
£119.85
  • Heel Height: 5" (0.5" platform)
  • Upper: Suede, Lining: Leather, Insock: Leather
  • Country Of Origin: Spain
  • Sole Material: Man made
  • Sizing: True to size
I am in love with gorgeous Burgundy Colour and the leopard print fringing gives the boots an edge to them. I would have preferred a thicker heel, or a wedge though.These also come in brown with plain brown fringing detail.


Cheryl's shoe range is available to buy here and she will be adding more to the collection in the new year.
