Pink Haired Princess

Crap-sticks, this is the second time in a week I've been in the middle of writing a post and blogger hasn't saved a damn thing and I've lost it all (although I'm partly to blame for not pressing 'save' this time in my haste, but you'd think it would do so along the way itself). Anyway, back to typing this all out again and when was the last time I did a shoe-haul post? It feels like forever! I've been on an unofficial no-buy for 2-3 months now due to trying to pay back my ISA (I kept stealing from it to fund purchases), lack of space and gearing up for building work to begin on the house (which will mean even less space) and I just haven't been feeling well enough to go shopping. A couple of weeks ago though, I was feeling really sorry for myself after receiving bad news about my gums, coupled with facing a month of almost constant 'treatments' for it. I decided I should be allowed one treat for being a 'good girl' throughout it a...

One week to go ladies until the second Swan collection by Clements Ribeiro hits Evans ! I ended up ordering loads of dresses from the first collection, much more than I imagined! Mostly I found them to be super generous in size, always taking at least one size down (in some cases 2 or 3)! I loved the bright colours and prints and my favourite had to be the purple pansy Peggy dress . The bright shades were just spot on for my colouring (and new hair colour) and it's just one of those 'feel good' dresses for me. Plus I own a ton of shoes that will look good with it! The Frida dress swamped me, but boosted my ego when I returned several and kept the 14! Had they made a size 12, I'd have even tried that, but alas it's one of those 'chuck it on with anything and out the door' dresses! The Nancy maxi dress was a little different for me, in that it has a relatively straight skirt and is very 'covered up'. All the dresses contained slee...

Dammit, just typed this entire post, then Chrome crashed and I lost the lot, grrr! Ok, here goes for a second time. I can't believe I'm typing this post, but it couldn't have come at a better time when I was in need of laugh. I was reading my emails this morning and this one popped in and I couldn't believe my eyes. Surely it was a joke? April Fools Day again? Nope and nope. I read and reread the press release and it seemed to be genuine (although I still can't believe it). What am I talking about? Well it's fake tan. Not just any fake tan, but you know that fox from the annoying Foxy Bingo adverts? Well it's him and some girl from TOWIE (I try to know nothing about this show). The press release hints to 'orange' more than once and Foxy and TOWIE bint are definitely an orange shade of fox. First of all, it's been a long time since I used fake-tan, but the aim with me and indeed most people I know, was never orange. The furthest fro...

I've already reviewed this foundation here and here , but I'd gone to the bother of taking photos of the actual haul and figured I may as well post them.  I'm in the middle of ebaying shit loads of stuff just now and secretly hoping it won't all sell or else I'll be lost under a pile of parcels all week! So the foundation, Le Teint Touche Eclat, I got is shade B10. You can see my swatch and indeed how it looks on the face in the posts linked above. I'm still happily using it every day. Last week I tried wearing Lancome Teint Idole Ultra as a (thin) base layer underneath (and still applying the YSL on top with my Pout Airbrush), as my skin has been pretty spotty and I felt like I needed the extra coverage. Unfortunately doing it that way, you lose the weightlessness of the YSL because the Lancome one is quite heavy on the skin, but you still get that lovely glow. Today though I decided to just wing it with YSL and actually realised that it covers perfec...
