cheap beauty tips...

I went out last night with my boyfriend and then we met up with some good friends, Emma knows that i always have her back and i will always stand by her! <3

So here are some of my favourite beauty tips,

1. olive oil combed through the hair. When your hair is wet but not dripping, I always comb a bit of olive oil in my hair to give it that lovely soft shiny look.

2. salt scrub, using olive oil and rock salt, mixing it in a bowl and applying it to wet skin. Giving your skin a good scrub to get rid of all those dead skin cells.

3. instead of forking out £20 for a eyebrow wax or thread try these little beauties - eylure eyebrow waxing strips, (£3.75) they are brilliant as the shape is already there. You just peal them of stick them on and bare the pain. This was the first time i had tried to wax at home and i didnt even feel the pain. My eyebrows were slightly red afterwards so don't wax on the day of an important event!

4. Mixing your moisturiser with your foundation for a tinted moisturiser. This is great if you don't want the full coverage of your foundation but you don't want to pay out for a tinted moisturiser. Mix it in the lid or on the back of your hand to get the right consistency.

5. Loose powder under the eye while your doing smokey eye or very complicated eye make up. Putting the loose powder underneath means if any shadow falls down under the eye you can just brush the powder off and it sweeps away the shadow too. :)

Mac peacock.

So i went shopping the other day in Colchester, with my best friend Amy. We had a great time, but the best bit was visiting my FIRST Mac store!! It was fab and i was really impressed with the service. I didnt need anything paticular but i managed to walk away with a concealer and mineral powder which are great!

When i got back home i noticed they had slipped a little paper about the Peacock range. It had a lovely picture of the peacock look on a models eye. So i tried to re-create the look. :) Just a special shout out to my loveellyy best friend, shes literally the weirdest and funniest girls i have ever met, but i love her <3 xxx



Urban Decay, 15th anniversary eye liner set.


This was a lovely present from my Boyfriend for valentines. The eye liner set had 15 eyeliners in and even some new ones made specially for this set.

Its absolutely fab! The eye liners last all day on your lids and go on really easily with their soft smudgy texture. The colours are highly pigmented and blend very well.

But enough talking, here are some pictures ...
