Pink Haired Princess

If you've popped over to The Shoe Girl Diaries today, you'll have seen the lovely boots I wore on Saturday, that got everyone who saw them in a fluster! They are super comfy and look gorgeous, it's almost quite tempting to get the leopard print version too.

I didn't have time to post this video here yesterday when I finished it. If you follow my YouTube channel or Facebook page, you'll perhaps have already seen it. Just a quick little haul video of my latest ASOS purchases-a couple of cute bags. Excuse the chipped manicure but I'm waiting for my new Models Own polishes to arrive! x x x

Another Monster High doll I managed to cross off my wishlist arrived today. 'Dead Tired' Ghoulia, super sweet! Only a few more to get now.

I'm so excited to have my internet back! No dropping out at all!! I managed to pop through to Dundee to check Argos for the 1 Monster High 'Dawn Of The Dance' doll they had in stock, at the weekend. Luckily it was one I was after, the gorgeous Lagoona! How freaking cool is it that she has dark green lips and a mohawk? Pretty darn cool!

Firstly, I'd like to apologize to Rimmel for taking so long to review this. Unfortunately it was delivered during the time I was without a computer, so I do have an excuse! Now that I'm back on my feet (kinda), I wanted to get this review down. I'm losing track of how many variations or relaunches there has been of Rimmel's Vinyl glosses...quite a few I reckon, this one is 'Vinyl Max Gloss' and comes in 6 shades. It aims to deliver full coverage, thick, voluptuous shine in one effortless stroke. The plumping formula with magnifying complex based on Hyaluronic spheres aims to volumize, smooth lips and reduce fine lines for a fuller, plumper look. The colour I tried was 211 Desire and I have to be completely honest and say I wouldn't have picked that. Brown lips can get a bit of a bad name in the makeup world, but I'm quite fond of them usually. This gloss is a deep rusty reddish brown though and just isn't a particularly nice colour to look at ...

So, all week I've been without internet connection until the afternoon. Today it took until 4.30pm for a signal-what the hell is going on? I was bored outta my brain! I've been uploading pics and resizing them, trying to do what I can offline, but it can get so tedious and then when the internet does come back I have too much to do and am sick of looking at photos, so get nothing done! I have eventually sorted through the MAC lipstick pics that I promised a few weeks ago, I have a couple of reviews of Scarlett & Crimson products coming up and if Rimmel haven't already struck me off their best friends list for being such a bad VIP, I will be reviewing their Vinyl Max Gloss. Oh and I made a little video of a couple of ASOS items I got today-I just have to get my editing hat on-probably tomorrow morning when I have no internet (can you tell I'm a glass half empty type of gal?) and will get that finished. Onto Inspiretty and yesterday my new booties finally arrived,...

I've been pretty quiet about the latest Kandee collection and that's because it's one of those ranges you don't want anyone to know about in case they snap up all the goodies before you! I'm serious! I literally felt sick browsing the new shoes as I mentally calculated the cost and formed my wishlist, knowing that I didn't have enough money for one pair let alone the several I want! The styles are extremely limited this season too, to 50 pairs. That's only 10 pairs per size, hence my panic and all-round queasiness! There's at least 7 styles ( minimum ) on my list including these After8 spangly courts. The colour is drop dead gorgeous, amazingly, seriously beautiful ! One of the best shades of green I've ever seen. So please everyone hold back on buying until I've pimped myself and raised enough funds...merci!!

As I mentioned last week, I had some items to return to Primark . A couple of dresses, a skirt, top and cardi...but then I came home with scarves, a dress and bolero along with a top for my mum, jigsaw for my nephew and two bags for my sister. In the end £1.40 was refunded onto my card, soooo worth it, haha! There were quite a few new dresses instore actually. Mostly they didn't look like they'd do much for me or else were only available in smaller sizes. I tried on a pretty 60's style lace shift with long sheer black sleeves. It was hideous on me! Absolutely atrocious! It looked like I'd gained around 30lb and decided to take cover under a giant black tent. Guess the 60's mod trend isn't going to work on me then! The dress I did buy, wasn't anything that great, just plain black jersey with a skater skirt, 3/4 length sleeves and little pocket flaps with gold buttons on the skirt. I think it was around £11 and I'll probably get a lot of wear out of it ...

When I spied these shoes on the Peacocks website today, I instantly recognised them, anyone else? They are tres similar to my Ediva platforms from KG by Kurt Geiger that I wore a couple of days ago . The same shaped heel, skinny strap and buckle, same platform and in black 'suede' with the contrast ivory toe. They don't have the t-bar or the bow (which make mine super cute) and the heel isn't snake effect like Ediva, but they are still spookily alike. Pretty naughty of you Peacocks!

Totally running behind today (see my latest TSGD post for more info), so it'll just have to be a quick Inspiretty...again! You're going to laugh at this, but todays is loo roll! Hold the laughter! Why nobody has thought of making toilet paper pretty before I don't know, but Andrex have this cool stuff now that comes in all sorts of prints and we've been using it in our house for months (my nephew loves it, although I hasten to add it's not a good flusher...tmi?). There's multi coloured polka dots, butterflies, brocade and even freaking flamingo print! I find it totally kitsch and I love the colours, so that's the pretty thing I spotted today and therefore worthy of Inspiretty, kinda!

The cutetastic Monster High 'Ghoul Spirit' Draculaura. I bought the three pack this doll came in, intending to only keep Ghoulia, but once I saw how sweet Draculaura was, I couldn't give her up ; )

If I were to wear a sweatshirt, laughable I know, but for the sake of this post let's pretend (or 'attend' as my nephew says), then I would sooo wear this one. Ok, so the actual shape and colour aren't anything overly exciting, but that print is absolutely adorable! It's 'Ugly Betty' and I love the retro glasses and leopard bow, super, super cute! It's by River Island but you can purchase it at ASOS.

So after brunette, I was hankering for the brightness of my beloved Atomic Pink and knew it would only be a matter of time before I went back to it. People were very complimentary of the brown, but it just didn't feel like me. Seeing as the original pink still hadn't left my hair, it felt like it was meant to be, so off we went with the bleach and Special Effects Atomic Pink again. I actually recall using a jar of Manic Panic toner this time round (hoping to dilute the colour slightly), with no effect to the outcome at all! AP is just so strong!! Something went a little funny with the exposure on this photo, but it shows just how bright the pink can be. I had a wedding coming up that summer, so was a little hesitant to completely play around with the colours at this stage-I wanted to use ...
