Oh dear!

Well... where do i start, the grand plan was to come back and be able to continue blogging with a working laptop but...
As we all know by know things just never go that smoothly for me, the situation is i have a laptop, i have a fully working internet connection but all ports to be able to upload photos are not working! I have been trying everything to fix them and just nothing!
So hopefully speak to you all soon, when i have electronics that want to co-operate :)

Sorry My Laptop Hates Me

Hey lovelies

Just a quick update, i am currently going to be unable to blog, i dont know how long it will be for. As regulars readers may know i have been having major problems with my laptop for a good few months so i did know it was on its last hinges but wednesday it typed its final words and now is completely broken. It was taken to try and be fixed yesterday and the truth is its going to cost me more to fix it then it is to buy a new one. As i dont have any savings that allow for a new laptop i am on a major saving mission now and will only be able to blog the odd post if i'm round my brothers for the day or maybe just a quick update post from my phone like this one.
I'm really not a happy bunny at the minute, i fell so lost without my laptop! The only good thing is i shall still be taking loads of outfit photos so when i have a shiny new laptop expect to be inundated with loads and loads of posts.

Hope you all are having a lovely start to the weekend, especially as the sun should be making an appearance. I shall be out for drinks on saturday and enjoying a family day on sunday. What are you plans to enjoy the sunny weekend?

I shall definitely still be around on twitter and good ol' instagram so please follow me there, i'm always up for a natter.

MAC Candy Yum Yum Lipstick

| MAC Candy Yum Yum £14  |

MAC Candy Yum Yum lipstick is described as bright pink with a matte finish. It has a slight blue undertone and in my opinion i would class it as a neon pink, if you are after a show stopping lipstick then this is definitively the one for you!



The matte finish means it applies very opaque. It is not at all drying and lasts for about 8 hours, however it does leave some slight staining on the lips. It has a very subtle vanilla scent but this is not noticeable once applied.



I am so glad i finally got round to buying it as i had my eye on it from the first release so was more than a little excited to find out it was becoming permanent. Hands down this is my new favourite lipstick, it just makes me feel ultra girly and is also a great conversation starter because of how amazing it is.

GOSH Flirty Orange

| GOSH Flirty Orange £6.49 |

GOSH Flirty Orange is a velvet touch lipstick. The formula feels very creamy and applies evenly, and for me not at all drying. It is a true bright orange with a slight red undertone, so if your wanting a statement lip this is definitely a good choice. The wear throughout the day is not the best, a few drinks and i already needed to reapply, but nothing that a bit of lipcote shouldn’t solve.



Overall its a pretty good lipstick, i think the colour would suit most skin tones and will definitely attraction a lot of attention especially if your pale as me as it certainly stands out. This is the first orange lipstick i have ever brought i am normally a bright pink sort of girl, but after seeing the release of the Hayley Williams MAC Collection and clocking my eyes on Sounds like noise i thought why not give orange a go. Pay day isn’t until the end of this week so i didn’t have enough spare pennies to buy the MAC one that i really wanted so i tried a cheaper alternative in the mean time. From all the other blog posts and swatches i have seen i think sounds like noise will be a little less in your face therefore more suited to everyday wear, can’t wait to get my hands on it.

What's your preferred lipstick shade pink or orange?

I still think I’m a pink fan at heart!

Look Fresh Cheeks Melon

|Look Fresh Cheeks in Melon £5 |

Browsing through my favourite beauty blogs i have noticed a lot of bloggers raving about cream blush. All of which have tempted me to take my first step into this world. Look have released 3 shades of these, the others look a little too dark for my skin tone. I would like to see Look release some more that are more pink toned.



I have to admit i was a little (lets say) frightened of cream blush, mainly because to look at the product in the pan it does not look at all blendable and i didn’t want to end up looking like i have massive round rosy cheeks like a clown!



I decided to purchase Looks cream blush in Melon. It is a light orange shade with pink undertones. It has an extremely soft consistency so is easily blendable even though that was my fear when looking at it. To get the colour pay off you require i always start with a really light application, by just rubbing my fingers lightly into the product then applying straight to the apple of my cheeks, working outwards. I then go back in to the apple of my cheeks with the product again to build up the colour to the shade i am after, also so you can see the fade outwards is more defined.



This is the first Look Beauty product i have brought and can definitely say i am willing to buy some other products, I’m thinking the Pout Stains are next.
