Pink Haired Princess

Accessorize have just relaunched their website and there's so many more products than before where it just felt like a section of the bigger Monsoon site. It's the only place you'll find 100% of the Accessorize stock. They have free delivery just now (and for the next week), so my sister and I thought we would buy some things to celebrate! Unfortunately their payment system had some problems, so I just decided to pop into the Dundee store when I was there last week instead. Big mistake! Don't ever go in there with money, because Mum and I stepped out half an hour later having spent just under £70! I could've bought more in all honesty but tried to contain myself (hard though as they have so many beautiful things). We didn't even get everything we were looking for, so that evening I bought the rest online (the system is up and running again). In Dundee we were served by a really lovely girl who went out of her way to help us find what we were looking for, it was...

I've briefly mentioned there is a lot going on at home just now and that it has been a really difficult past few weeks. I don't want to get too morbid because this blog is a little bit of an escape for us all (me included), but my Granny is very, very ill with cancer and doesn't have long to live. It's been incredibly hard to see her like this when she's always been so healthy and strong in mind and body. Anyway she's obsessive about cleaning and tidying (she dusts and hoovers every day even although she lives alone and there's no dirt and she's usually up at 5am cleaning her doorstep) and so her immediate reaction to the news was to start clearing out her house. Some may think that's a little drastic, but she insists it'll be less for my Dad to deal with once she's gone and honestly it's what I would expect from her. We're slightly freaked out by the fact she'll be living in a shell with no belongings, but it's something pra...

I'm ridiculously excited about this, it's silly! I get really frustrated at how long it takes to upload videos to blogger and how unpredictable it can be, you can literally sit all day and it never uploads or one can be done in 5 minutes. So I thought about making a funky video yesterday whilst playing around with the Barry M Instant Nail Effects . It's my first attempt at a proper video with music and everything, rather than just exactly what I shot. However it wouldn't upload to blogger, so this morning I decided to take the bull by the horns and start my own YouTube channel!! Kinda scary, but kinda cool. My username is pinkhairedshoegirl . I can see the Windows Live Movie Maker that I downloaded yesterday, fast taking over from my Taaz obsession-it's so much fun playing around with it! Anyway, here's my very first 'proper' video-I probably could've done better, but not bad for a first attempt when I don't know how it works!

So here are the beautiful makeup items I ordered online from Topshop last week. I'm super duper happy with them. The swatches on the website are pretty accurate, so I definitely got what I expected. Ruthless Lips (lipstick) is black in the tube, but comes out a deep, dark true purple (no plum, burgundy, wine). Their description of the finish is also spot on, a satin matte-feels very velvety. I'm just soooo excited about this lippie because I've been wearing darker colours recently and most of them are based around the same shade, because this is pure purple though it's unlike anything else I have. Gloom Lipgloss correct colour and description again, it does say 'sheer' on the website and this definitely is. Nowhere near as much glitter in my swatch in comparison to the website one, although it's super glittery in the tube. If you're looking for a bold dark lip then this isn't for you, if however you're a little scared to go full on goth then ...
