As I mentioned recently, I am now an Eyeko Ambassador, which is really exciting. I've been a fan of their products for years, since they first started in fact, so it seemed obvious that I sign up. Every time any of you spend £10 on the Eyeko site and enter my unique ambassador code (E11752), found to the right of the page, you'll get a free gift with your order. How cool is that? Shipping on all orders is free within the UK and EU and on all orders over $55 (anywhere). Eyeko also run special offers on their website with free gift deals etc (please note these cannot be used with the ambassador code, so choose your gift carefully!). *Update: you can still enter my ambassador code with a gift code, although you will not receive my free gift in addition to the gift you've selected in the comments section-but please still input my code so that Eyeko know you've been recommended by me* During checkout you'll find a page that has boxes for comments, discounts or an ambas...

Thanks to everyone who has watched my Barry M Instant Nail Effects video . I was planning a proper 'speaking' video today but I've been suffering from a sore throat all week and completely lost my voice today : ( The phone rang earlier and obviously I couldn't answer it, so I was banging on the wall to get my sister downstairs to do it, heehee! Anyway, there were a few things I wanted to add about that nail art if you were still contemplating buying it. First of all, for anyone who was wondering which red nail polish I was wearing in the video for my ladybird style nails (above), it was Bourjois 1 Seconde in 7 Rouge Cerise . - Instant Nail Effects really works best on brighter or paler colours-you need contrast to the black. When I first got it home, I was already wearing Mushroom and just painted the Nail Effects quickly over the top, but the effect wasn't as good, because you couldn't really see it. I tried pastel nails this week and love the outcome. The nai...

Mum took a little trip to Bibi's Bakery today to pick us up a little treat (fast becoming a weekly occurrence)! She was buying 4, then spotted 2 more she had to have so we got; the chocolate orange again, a double chocolate (with flake on top, which I ate, sickly, but yummy), a smarties one for Breast Cancer and vanilla one. Click images to enlarge and drool! In the other box is lemon and a victoria sponge (which I really wanted, but my sister ate). Yum, yum!

I'm sorry for neglecting you a bit this week, it's been horrendous in all honesty! I've been babysitting my nephews for 2 days and it's knackering work! Even if I were more able bodied, I still reckon I'd be pooped after a day with them. My Auntie was also involved in a really bad car accident yesterday (as if her partner and mother both dying from cancer wasn't enough!). The car is a write off and ended up on it's roof with smoke coming out of it and her and the doggy upside down trapped inside. Miraculously she wasn't badly hurt (doggy was badly shaken), but it's the last thing my Dad and her need right now and the shock and pain has really hit her today. We're keeping it from Granny for now as she was taken into hospital earlier this week after constantly developing new symptoms and her heart just won't take that news. So yeah, it's been really tiring on all levels. I did manage to the Christmas event at Boots on Thursday, which was ac...

My Topshop order arrived today and....my leggings fit! They are mesh like and not quite as thick as leggings but not as thin as tights. My only criticism would be that the legs are too long. I think Topshop made them for 6ft tall ladies and that isn't me! They are really comfortable around my hips and waist, although a little tight on my thighs. At first I really didn't think they would fit, so I'm pleasantly surprised. The crystals are stunning, really sparkly. They reach all the way up the thighs (although are more sporadic the higher they get), so I'm sure I'll lose some of them with wear. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to style them, because they do feel very glitzy, party type leggings. I'm already trying to talk myself out of buying the black version too though! The image below shows the hem folded under. I was never quite sure of the cuff, even from the online pictures, I think they would look great tucked into boots or some sort of cuffed shoe...

Hi Ladies! The blogging world moves so fast and I always have tonnes of reviews to write and photos to edit, then I feel I don't get the time to just sit and ramble about nonsense! So I thought I'd do a little summary post of such rubbish...! *Haven't seen pics of me for ages have you? This is relatively recent...the lipstick is an old Calvin Klein one, really dark but I like it. Been feeling pretty 'bleugh' with my whole appearance lately if I'm honest, probably the reason for the lack of FOTD's etc. *Super pissed that Shoesone muddled my order and that I have to wait (again) for the correct pairs to be sent (as well as having the hassle of returning the incorrect pair I got). I'm suspicious as to why their English gets worse the madder I get? *Thinking of going to the Boots Xmas event next week. Don't know if I *need* anything, but £12 worth of points for spending £50 is always so enticing. *Spent almost the entire day on Thursday trying to place...

Holy crappola! Look at these images of the new Christmas Pearl Lowe collection for Peacocks ! Hot, hot, hot! Will I say it's the best yet? Perhaps, although I'm trying not to get too carried away because I was excited about the last collection, then so disappointed when half of it looked ridiculous on me. You'll see the lace dress that I blogged about ages ago (3rd from left), I'm still ridiculously in love with it and the lace one that Pearl is wearing is gorgeous too-just look at the way the hem hangs. Gothic style lace is always a winner for me! I also love this white dress that Daisy is wearing although I tend not to wear light colours (not the most flattering on a fatshionista). The thing I'm not sure about though is the seam below the black waist detail. What is it and why is it there? Doesn't look necessary to me (and is a distraction from the pretty parts) and I fear it will just make my stomach look bigger. Plus will my boobies really fit in that li...

A few weeks ago I received the repackaged, new formulation Lasting Finish lipsticks from Rimmel . I photographed them at the time but haven't had a chance to blog about them until now. Previous lip items sent to me by Rimmel have failed to impress due to the colours they picked, but these looked much more promising. The new formulation promises up to 8 hours wear (that's 50% longer wearing colour boost pigments) and 25% more colour impact supposedly. I can't say I've found anywhere near 8 hours of colour without the need for retouches. The colour can remain (like a stain), but it's slightly patchy without reapplication. The shades I was sent included one of my all-time favourites, Asia 077. I've bought around 4 or 5 of these over the years, back when it was labelled as 040 Asia. I still have a couple in my collection, so I've photographed them too, because there is a very slight difference in colour between batches. The other shade they sent was 084 Ameth...
