Bargain | Bio Oil dupe


Hello my lovelies!
I have a bargain for all you frugal followers, I bought this from non other but Poundland! I usually go in to get stationary but I ended up buying this, I have used Bio Oil in the past and have liked it but i decided to try out this at a 8th of the cost (ish). 

I am currently half way though the bottle and i must admit, a few scars from spots have gone! I must admit I don't think it will work as well as big ass scars from operations or stretch marks, I think Bio Oil will probably be best for that. But to get a more even complexion I defiantly recommend it and I will be re-purchasing this fo sho!

How I use it is I apply a fair amount to my face before I go to bed (like night cream), plus an added extra of this is that I don't have to moisturize in the morning!






Review | MUA lip boom



Hello my lovelies!
First of all I should apologize for the fact that I have been away (again) for quite a while. I have been doing my AS levels (and recovering from them).
So as it is the "summer" holidays I will be doing more blog posts yayyyyyy :D

I went for a browse around MUA today at meadowhall and I found this "Lip Boom" product that I have never seen before, it is designed by Burke (Alexandra) and I LOVE it.

It comes in at £3 which is good considering you can get 4 looks out of it
- sheer
- bold
- gloss
- gloss over the lipstick

The lipstick sold it for me anyway because I haven't seen it before, the lipstick colour is called "It's a situation" and it is a vampy/dark red. Which I am surprised to see actually suits me, reds never suit me. I don't think the gloss has a name but it is just a pale, glittery pink which highlights the lips when it is applied over the top (giving an illusion that they are bigger).

apologies for the bad lighting but it'll make do

Review | Rimmel's Kate Moss lipstick.

I love Rimmel London lipsticks but I've never tried one of the ones from the Kate Moss collection, but considering as they are £2 off at Boots at the moment I thought I would pick one up. I love the creamy consistency of this, and it doesn't dry out my lips so much. It's highly pigmented so only one stroke of this is needed for a good effect.  
Apologies for my chipped nails!






Review | Sexy Mother Pucker

I was on the lookout for a new lipgloss to wear when I have my hair up - because I hate it when people get hair stuck in their lipgloss! So as I have been eager to try Soap&Glory's Sexy Mother Pucker for ages, because I have quite skinny lips so I would like something the plump them up.
I read the reviews on like and most people were like "this really hurts my lips" but it really doesn't! It goes all tingly and nice on my lips, I suppose it isn't everybody's cup of tea but it is defiantly mine! 










My everyday eye makeup.


Thought I might show you lovelies my everyday eye makeup and the products that I use.
Apologies for the eyebrows but i'm growing them out to be thicker.


So here is my bare but primed eye.

Being ill when it's sunny sucks.

It's typical of me really, just my luck. In England it's absolutely roasting! I would have liked to have gone sunbathing, have a BBQ (even though I don't like BBQed food - don't judge) and whip out a paddling pool etc. But I can't because I have a cold :(
I've had exams all week so my dad decided to take me to Starbucks in town so whilst I was there I bought some entertainment material for my day alone being ill :( I got by possibly favorite film of all time Austin Powers and one that I haven't seen before, Marmaduke, I it only me who adores films with talking animals in them? Yes? Okay then.
