Chain Me Down!

I have been after a certain pair of chain effect leggings for ages, the day after I put them down in Topshop and said 'payday' they took them off the site, therefore I gave up hope! I returned to Topshop today (don't tell daddy, I was on company time!!) and I asked the girl working around the part of the shop that I had seen the lleggings in the first place and she sad 'oh they're in sale, they've been there for days'...

I literally ran!

...and there they were, in my size, sitting there all alone, for half the price....who said romance was dead?

I love them!!! Although they make me look like I have love purses at the top of legs, but hey, they look pretty, I love chain effect anything!!

Bought anything funky recently???

Love.

Did any of you catch Material Girls on Thursday? I was lusting over the red shoes she was bought and kept trying to catch glimpses of the designer, till I replayed (bbc iplayer!) and saw the close up of the box.

My cousin is slightly shoe/fashion crazy, so I had heard of this designer before, I've heard then being compared to Christian Louboutin especially as most of the shoes, if not all have a red sole and think the designs are similar.

I have fallen in love.

Gorgeous arn't they?

I'm a big fan of studded effect shoes, and especially if they're black and gold!

I have decided these will be mine by the end of 2010, if they'll still be available! What things are on your wants list this year?

Even though you can still buy the things online, on Eyeko's website, Superdug always have offers on them and plus, I hate buying things I have not seen first.

 Where do you get your Eyeko goodies from? What are your favourites?

I Hate Not Posting + This Weeks Update

The last few days have been hectic! I have been back and forth seeing my sisters baby and making sure she is settling in, the baby has Jaundice which is very common but it's stressing my sister out so I try and help out as much as I can.

I have a job interview next Wednesday (wish me luck) i'm really excited and hope it works out, it's nothing really special but it's more hours and money and will hopefully help pay for a couple of courses I want to do early next academic year. :D

Also good news, my 'big hair' experince lasted three days without losing volume, I washed it on the fourth and blow dried it this time with my Tigi Thickening Blowdry Serum and woah, 'BIG'!

I bought a couple of things this week but alas no picture due to being at work, I will post about them later.........

Hope you all have had a great week,

Thanks for reading, I really wanted to share the love, I also hate not updating my blog, so this sorta explans why i've not today!

Photo Tag

I have been tagged by the lovely Sinead @ http://www.daintydollymix.blogspot.com, thank you darling, and here are my photo's (two because Sinead suggested I posted my tenth picture from Facebook and my laptop, my laptop is recent therefore doesn't have many pictures).

Here we go

Me as Snow White at a fancy dress two years ago, although I look more like a blow up doll!

My beautiful niece and I last summer, her name is Emily and is really the light of my life. She loves Elmo (and Dora) and likes to dance with him when he starts strutting his stuff!!

Hope you like them!

OPI Nail Envy - Giving It Another Shot

I used this religiously for about a month prior to going to Egypt in November, I got some really good results but when I arrived in Egypt I couldn’t keep up with the daily application, which sounds ridiculous, only takes a few minutes right? Not with my sisters two kids, honestly, I don’t know how you mothers do it!


Now that the kids are no longer around (they came back with me and stayed in London for a month) I have no excuses and am starting again. I had a moment of evil yesterday which I convinced myself I needed beautiful fake (oxymoron, yes?) nails, and I was planning to get them done as soon as I finished work.

Thankfully I’m easily influenced and decided to give Nail Envy another try, (thank you Tweeters, you know who you are) I might as well give it another try, what’s a month, when the damage fake nails do last a lot longer.

Nail Envy, which I bought from the OPI in Selfridges cost around £18.99, there are different types, but I got the original as pictured above (not my picture, I Google nicked it!)

To find out more about the different Nail Envy line go to: http://www.opi.com/

Therefore today I have soaked my nails, got them as clean as I could, and applied two layers of Nail Envy on my little nails, as well as two coats of Rainbow by GOSH just to make me smile, although I do wish I had applied a pink underneath, that would have looked really pretty.

I might have to get an extra Rainbow, one to mix with other colours, and one to not to...any excuse eh!

Wish my nails luck, I will keep you all informed with a ‘Nail Envy – Sunday Report’ because I am sure you will all be dying to know how my nails are doing hahahaha!!

Thanks for reading and please leave me a comment below, have you used Nail Envy before, what were the results? Leave a link to your Nail Envy experience to I an have a read 

BIG Shampoo : The Morning After

I used this for the first time last night, I was going to do a review straight after but it seemed pointless as how clean it felt after it had been washed would be pointless if it dried differently.

The first rise created no foam, I had that 'am I doing this right' thought, and reached for the tub in the hope they had instructions of some sort, but nothing, so I just carried on scrubbing. The second foam was a lot different, as soon as I started massaging it into my scalp it created the most amazing foam and left my hair feeling really clean and fresh upon rinsing


If you follow me on twitter you will know last night I used the term ‘weird’ to describe the ‘big’ experience, I guess that was slightly wrong, it’s more unexpected than weird. The foam was very thick and well, big, something I didn’t expect after a rather boring first scrub. The foam reminded me of a silicon tube, you know how it comes out and just foams up, a bit like that!


I left my hair to dry naturally overnight, rather than batter is with heat and other chemicals.


This morning my hair is huge and super silky, so silky I felt bad going near my GHD’s and so big that I had to have it out with my brush, several times and it didn’t effect the volume at all, and even though it’s really soft, I’m finding my hair a bit hard to style, I didn’t have much time this morning therefore it’s hidden underneath a hat, therefore I do wish I had washed it earlier in the evening and waited for it to dry and maybe styled it before I slept, as it’s being a bit difficult to tame this morning!


I have quite fine hair, it’s naturally straight but does have moments of crazy waviness too, so I would say it’s done a nice job, but I don’t think I would use this all the time, maybe once a week, I think it would be too much on my hair to use this everytime.


I will be doing a later on the week continuation review on this to see how long the softness remains, and a second wash review, I want to milk this review because it does cost £9.90 and wouldn’t want to recommended it if I hadn’t reviewed it thoroughly.


Thanks for reading,

The newest addition to my family....

Meet Dexter.

He is gorgeous and I am very lucky to be his mum. He is very shy and doesn't come out of his house to eat unless I remove it, which I know sounds mean but I literally mean all his food is still there the next morning, so i take out his houe till he has eaten enough and then put it back, he has gotten better over the last day though, I think the pet shop only fed him pellet food, as veg seems new to him, although he doesn't seem to mind it.

He is long haired, and is tri-coloured, the rest of his body minus his head is all white, I love him so. He is only four months so still a baby, I currently have him curled up in a fleece and he looks really comfy all snuggled on his side ready to be stroked.

I'm sure I will post more pictures of him soon when he isn't as shy!! He is also getting along really well with Fufu which is my female guinea, and again I will post pictures of her soon too :)

Thanks for reading, leave me a comment below, do you have any pets, what have you called them? Tell me.

A Lush, Lush Haul <3

(The Lush Draw as it currently stands, obv excludes hair stuff which I don't keep in there)

I bloody love Lush.  Up until a few weeks ago I had not used anything for quite a while, which in it’s own way was good, it’s always good to take a break from constant usage of something you use, especially if it becomes something so predominant in your day to day life , you don’t enjoy it as much.

After the constant Lush tweetering I decided to head to my Lush draw and used my last Avobath and the next day my Honey Bee ballistic (my favourite) and this truly put me back into the Lush game, sadly it was a little too late for me to get some of the Christmas delights (Snow Fairy *teaaars*) but thankfully I did manage to grab a cinder (my favourite Christmas Lush product) and a few back ups which will most probably not get used up as running out would make me sad…

Thing I picked up over the two trips include,

Soft Coeur Massage Bar – I really love this bar, it’s super sweet (reminds me of caramel, vanilla and chocolate) and I always use it when I want to feel cosy and comfy, it’s a heart shape and had a rather large chocolate centre, it smells utterly divine, I don’t tend to use this all the time, I keep it as more of a treat J

Link to it is:

http://www.lush.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=87&category_id=479&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=80

Mange Too Massage Bar – This is my day to day massage bar, I only use it straight after coming out the bath, if I forget I don’t bother as I feel it works best when your body is still warm. It smells like honey and in my opinion is best matched with the Honey Bee ballistic if you really want that honey scent to linger on you.

Link to it is:

http://www.lush.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=255&option=com_virtuemart

Honey Bee Ballistic – My favourite, see review post below.

Link to it is:

http://www.lush.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=113&option=com_virtuemart

4 Cinders + 4 free in goodie bag J - Will be wrting up a review for this either late this evening or tomorrow, don’t want to give to much away but the scent is gorgeous, it reminds me of spiced apples and all things Christmas time.

Ma Bar Bubble Bar – I love this Bubble Bar and is the only one I buy have always bought and bought again,  they tend to be quite soft therefore you can break them into two and use it twice, although you could use it less, I tend to use only a little if it’s going to be a short bath. It has a caramel chocolate scent, with a brown sugar cube centre.

Link to it is:

http://www.lush.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=98&option=com_virtuemart

These are all things that I’ve bought that I’ve not used used therefore cannot comment, watch out for blogs and reviews regarding these items, especially the BIG Shampoo which I’m using for the first time tonight.

Candy Cane Bar, Pop In The Bath, Think Pink Ballistic, Butterball Ballistic, Mr Butterball, BIG Shampoo, Aqua Marabilis and Vanilla Fountain.

Thanks for reading, and please leave me a comment below with what your favourite Lush things are, and a link to your recent Lush haul if you have one.

Lush Honey Bee – Review

What Lush says about it: For a soothing, cleansing soak. Honey Bee smells like caramel, much like Honey, I Washed The Kids soap and Soft Coeur massage bar do. Honey Bee holds its own special distinction, though; in addition to soothing honey, it has Moroccan Rhassoul mud to deep cleanse and soften your skin. The world's best spas offer honey or mud baths on their menus. Now, you can have both in one go, for roughly 1% of the cost.

Do I like it? This is my very favourite ballistic in the permanent range (available all year through). It is a beautiful colour and the smell is divine, it’s super honey sweet but not sickly, I tend to use it once a week as I don’t want to start finding it boring.

The first time I used it I do remember thinking, ‘is this it’ the ball fizzed out in about three minutes and smell did not linger, however, the second time I thought about it, warm water wouldn’t really let the scent expand as steam and make my bathroom smell all lovely, so I let the bath run a lot hotter as it would usually and let the ball in there to do it’s magic, jumped in when I’d mixed it with some warm water and voila, my bathroom and I smelt lovely, although I do always have a scrub after as all the ballistics seem to leave a little residue.

However, I have quite sensitive skin, therefore I’d never depend on a bath ballistic to moisturise my skin alone. Don’t expect miracles, it’s a bath ballistic, not a moisturiser. (follow it up with my mange too, it’s the perfect mix!)

It’s also a nice ballistic to use when you have a cold, the honey scent is always comforting this time of year.

Price? It’s £2.85, which is pretty reasonable in my opinion.

Thanks for reading, leave me a comment below telling me what you think about this Ballistic.

I like stuff.

Hi everyone, sorry i've not posted in a while, I usually have plenty of time to write but it's been a busy week, if we speak on twitter you'll probably know my (step) sister is over from Egypt until next Thurs with her two kids (therefore when i'm at home there is no rest!) and my little sister is ready to give birth at any moment now, so i'm literally living life in a panic at the moment, sleeping as much as I can when I can as I could be woken up at anytime to head to the hospital, just thinking about it tears me up, she is my only biological sister therefore this is a really big thing for me, especially being the 'big sis' I don't know how i'm going to react seeing her in so much pain. I've not been the greatest sister over the last year, so i'm making sure i'm the best sister I can be in 2010.

I got my hair cut (well fringe) on Tuesday and bought lots of hair goodies to keep it tamed, a haircut really represents new beginnings to me, therefore I like to start the year with a new look.

Last year I got a haircut that resembled Sarah Hardings hair in 'Call The Shots' but i've got dark hair :) her haircut was really shot down by the critics who said it wad like something out of Star Trek, but I actually like haircuts like that, bold haircuts look better on me rather than the standard boring styles.

My main concerns regarding my hair is volume, I always want more more more, but some days I have no time (or generally cannot be arsed) to back comb the extensions, put them into place and spend the day checking on them (Girls any silicone based shampoo will make your extension clips slide off quicker than usual so be warned!) so I really want to shorten the routine to a couple of products.

The Products are:

• Bed Head by Tigi 'Volumizing Hairspray' - I used this everyday since I got it, every time i've found it really sticky. It did however create volume which didn't last anymore than a couple of minutes.
  
• Catwalk by Tigi 'Work-It' Hairspray - I love this hairspray, it's a workable one which means you can spray then still style your hair, I know there are lots of them around, but thsi is the first one i've used and actually holds for the whole day.
  
• Bed head by Tigi 'Blowdry Lotion For Thick Massive Hair' - Amazing, I massaged this into my damp scalp after towel drying my hair, and then blow dry'd my hair and found it to be a lot thicker looking (and easier to style after!!). It's lasted all day and the next day it was still thicker looking. I can't wait to use this more!!
  

I also bought a few (wink wink!) Collection 2000 Glam Crystals, they are really nice, although the blue ones cause skin staining, which I found an oil based cleanser doesnt remove, had to wash it off.

I wanted to take swatches of them, but my battery died, so will leave that for my next blog entry. :) Booo it ruined everything!

What I was listening to during writing this blog is Ego by The Saturdays, I really love this song and the video, I want all the outfits they wore! Did anyone else see Gavin & Stacey?? It was so lovely! :)

I hope you are all well and have enjoyed Christmas and are having a great to start to the New Year,

I wish you all the best and hope we can all make 2010 the best so far.

New Years Resolutions...

I've always carried a little A6 sized notebook with me, I find it so useful to be able to take it out at any time and fill it with random ideas/buys and general thoughts.

I had a read through old pages and previous brainstorming, most of my pages are listed with make up items with ticks all over them (never a good sign!!!) but the stuff I've left out is clothes I've wanted to buy. One thing that has really been bothering me over the last few months is my fashion tastes are changing, and I no longer want to wear my bright red polka dot dress, and dress like a vintage dolly, therefore most of my outfits have become redundant. Therefore I am taking a new approach in 2010. Towards fashion, and everything.

This brings me to my new years resolution is going to be the year of, well me,sticking to what works for me.. I know that sounds utterly ridiculous, every year is about me, but this year I am going to be completely selfish and concentrate on things I want for myself, and what I want to achieve.

• I'm going to stop jumping from one choice to another. I'm terrible at keeping to my decisions and am always so motivated to do something new but after a couple of months the novelty wears off and there I am back at square one. But again this resolution is redundant if my next one doesn't happen.
• I'm going to decide what I want to do with my life. Try things out and actually encourage myself to keep trying, I don't expect it to click into place but I do want at least have an idea by the end of 2010, as I can't keep on depending on things just 'happening', I have to make them happen. I know that sounds terribly chiched, but I do hope I stick to this one.
• To stop buying things because 'theyre so in right now'. Buying things I will wear or use again and again. This goes for fashion and cosmetics. some of my cosmetic choices have been questionable (black cream colour base, when was this ever going to be a good idea for someone who loves corals???!) therefore I have to start looking at things as investments, I'm not claiming that i'm going to be completely sensible, now that would be boring, but to be honest with myself and think, 'will I actually use it'.
• Make choices because they are right for me. I am forever making choices because they are better for everyone else, and always stressing myself out at the end of it, don't want to do that anymore.
• Shoes, bags, and STUFF. But only if I deserve it!!

I am aware this sounds incredibly self centred, it's all about me, but I did warn you!!

What do you all want in 2010? I know we are a couple of weeks away, it's because I don't want a reply unless you've had time to sit down and think about it. I tag you all. :)

Thank you all for your time,

New Arrivals!! :)

Hiya everyone!!!

Well I say everyone, but I really mean the very few people that read my blog, but I guess everyone starts somewhere :)

I am really loving this font colour, it reminds me of my lipstick colour creation that i'm currently wearing, but more about that below!!!

If you read my blog, or talk to me on twitter you know that I have a soft spot for any lipstick that can enhance an orange lippie or colours that create the perfect orange pout, and I think I have discovered what that is!!!

BUT FIRST :D

First up are the blushes,

MACs Springsheen and Fleur Power: I love these blushes, really pretty coral colours, and really look lovely mixed together, I really wanted 'Style' but when I swatched Style was Springsheen without the warm tone to it. Also there the MUA introduced Springsheen as the 'MACs version of Nars Orgasm'. ERM. Ok. I don't see it! I swatched both, and I love them both BUT no way would I say they are dupes for one another, apart from Springsheens gold shimmer I personannly don't think it has the same 'tan effect' as Orgasm?? What do you think?

MACS Stars 'N' Rockets, Steamy, and Swish: This is a confusing one, when I had previously swatched these I wasn't impressed with Stars 'N' Rocket pay off, it wasn't bright and didn't see how it would blend with Steamy, while Steamy and Swish were a definate 'I want'. So got home, and the Steamy, and Swish had really bad colour pay off with my 239, which was like...WHAT! so I used my 228 and it was all fine....while Stars 'N' Rockets was just perfect all the way, i'm in love.....

GOSH Darling: Great mixer/starter colour for my oranges, I love it, and am actually shocked I love it, must have backup, am getting nervous knowing the might run out over night and I don't have a back up....BACK UPPPPPPP!!

Limecrime Cosmopop: I ordered this in a hurry because I wa so excited, then after about two days I rechecked the site and saw there were two orange shades not one, UH OH. Cosmopop has to be one of the most pigmented, and creamy oranges ever. I can't compare it to a MAC or anything, it's so much creamy than anything i've used like ever, I love it. SO I have decided I want more. It took about 10 days to get to me, and while I am incredibly impatient (and over excited, have you noticed??) it was well worth the wait. Love the packaging, it reminds me of the MAC Edna collection :)

MAC Dazzleglass in Utterly Posh and Goldyrocks: Love these colours, was so happy to have them...till i realised they were LE, I've not used them since, I bloody hate MAC sometimes. Back up pleeease :(

NARS Laguna: Love it, use it with my 129 brush below my cheek bone. the 129 brush works well for me because of it's size, and I can control the application well by pinching and shaping the bristles with my fingers. Really nice when worn in a subtle manner, I'm happy to be a nc2o (decided it suits me better than nw) and don't want to be any darker, but it gives me that lovely shadow, that makes my face look that little bit more defined.

Sleek Palettes in Orginal and Sunset: Love both of these, and am certainly going to be getting backups of these, the Original contains the dark greens and golds that I love to mix with, plus a gorgeous bronze orange that looks amazing, I love to mix colours from each palette together. Sleek have done really well, and i'm very happy with the pigmentation, and I find as long as you rub the brush/sponge applicator around rather than dabbing it you don't get much crumbling.














Original Palette & Sunset Palette


AND FINALLY!! I have discovered in my opinion the perfect creamy orange, that's adaptable, and also buildable, these are very imporatant, as I want a colour I can add to as well as working well practically all other shadows and blush tones.














I know the camera quality is rubbish, sorry! It at least shows the tone, it's not the bright orange I usually wear, however we are not always in the social situations appropriate for bright coral lips, so I really wanted to find a mix of the two I was comfortable with, without feeling i'm giving up too much of my personality with and I am so glad I found it.

I used:

GOSH in Darling - Any creamy nude base, although love this one as ha a lovely texture and great coverage, you don't want something thats too streaky. I wouldn't suggest Myth unless you mix it well with something moisturing, and creamy, maybe Blistex?
+
Limecrime in Cosmopop - Any cream coloured orange, not too overwhelming, I like to think of Cosmopop (or the alternative) a my colour 'bridge'.
+
MAC in Morange - Or any colour you are comfortable with, I dot it on, how much I dot it on depends on how orange I want it to be, but the good thing about using darling and as soon as you swirl the colours all around you are still left with this gorgeous orange cream beige consistancy....and for me it's perfect!

Thanks for reading, I'm off to watch Gavin & Stacey on BBC iplayer!

Something New, Something Old

Hiya Guys, this is my latest MAC Haul, I am very excited about showing off these items and hope you enjoy it, many of them have not been used yet so if you know what works well with what - eyeshadow/blush colour combos etc, then please leave me a comment :)

I am a bit OCD with certain items, especially items I adore and know I won't be able to get my hands on again easily, therefore for the past few days I have been avoiding using my favourite 'feel good' lipgloss until I make sure I have another, don't worry though i'm not mental, the gloss is a Mac L.E therefore is a reason behind my madness! MACS Heatherette Collections 'Sock Hop' arrived today while I was at work and I love it. The picture makes it seem like a beige, but it's not, oooh no do not be fooled, I love my oranges and bright corals and this is certainly one, I can happily use this one knowing I have a spare nearby :)

This is a picture of my latest surperdrug Purchases, it has been a 3for2 on all cosmetics this week so I treated myself :)

The colours are:
Rimmel (The Purple Case in Coral Queen
Barry M's Orange Gloss in Tropical Tango
Barry M's Lip Paint in '54'
Rimmels Coral in Gold.

The Barry M lipgloss is my new favourite 'everyday' gloss, one that I'd happily use sparingly. It's got a great colour consistancy. :)

I also bought Barry M's 'Mint Green' Nail Polish but forgot to take a picture :)















MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in 'Soft and Gentle'
MAC Mineralize Blush in 'Gentle'
MAC Colour Base in 'Shell'
MAC Colour Base in 'Fabulush'

I am in Love with Soft and Gentle, I must have another one, as I worry it'll run out already!

Gentle is seriously dangerous, it should come with a warning sign, I put on too much the first time round and looked like a tomato.

Colour bases are fun, make my phone all icky though! Like to use them as highlighters or cheek stains. :)



In no particular order (I stupidly moved them before I took note of the order).

MAC Mineralize e/s in 'Play on Plums'
MAC e/s in 'Beauty Marked'
MAC e/s in 'Star Violet'
MAC e/s in 'All That Glitters'
MAC e/s in 'Smut'
MAC e/s in 'Tempting'
MAC e/s in 'Swimming'
MAC e/s in Woodwinked'.

Woodwinked reminds me Antiqued, although both look great mixed with All That Glitters.

Swimming is fabulous colour for green eyes, especially mixed with a bright purple, but I did expect beauty marked to be a bit more purple, it's darker with bright purple glitter pigments, but brilliant when blended near the lash line. Star violet reminds me of a mild expensive pink, can't wait to try it!! :)


Matte
Studio Stick x 2 in NC20

which was a slight woops as I'm a NW2 but a bit of Medium MSF fixes everything :) This foundation is .... alright, bit drying, matte defo was a good choice for it.

Matte is great, although you need to use quite a bit to achieve the ultra soft finish everyone always goes on about.



My first MAC 15 e/s palette, empty obviously, must fill it up soon, and now I have an excuse to buy MORE!!!

MAC Fix +
MAC Cleanse Off Oil

Used none of these yet, so will be pampering myself on Sunday night, and review them during the week :)

Heard I should mix a couple of pumps of the Cleanse off with a bit of Fix +, am I right???









MAC 129 Brush
MAC 187 Brush
MAC 168 Brush
MAC 138 Brush
MAC 134 Brush

My favourite so far is the 187, which is thr stippling brush, very multi use, and I love it, I have two, one for creams and one for blushers :)





MAC 182 Brush
MAC 213 Brush
MAC 275 Brush
MAC 239 Brush x 2
MAC 129SH Brush

MACs 129SH is my longest standing MAC brush, I bought one years ago, before my MAC adoration began, it's a really good on the go blush brush.

239s are great, so great I needed two.


My 'New Old Stuff' :)


No idea why I forgot to open my Alexander Mcqueen e/s in Pagen, only just realised when I saw the picture on the laptop and the stuff was already boxed back in the draw. YES I LEAVE THINGS IN THEIR BOXES!

MAC Alexander Mcqueen e/s in 'Pagen'
MAC Mineralize e/s in Word-To-Mouth'
MAC e/s in 'Fashion Groupie'
MAC e/s in 'Buckwheat' (bought unboxed)
MAC e/s in 'Vibrant Grape'
MAC e/s in 'Budding Beauty' (bought unboxed


I'm trying to find Buckwheat again, so if you have, and don't want it, please comment, I love it sooo much!!

Oh and a dupe for Fashion Groupie, which is a lot more pigmented and IMO a better quality purple is Urban Decays 'Purple Haze'.


Hope you've enjoy my Haul!! :)

Mwah! x

Hurry though, I hate selling new things, they look too pretty to sell hahaha!

Mwah! x

Yay and Nay!

Hiya! It's been a few days since i've posted and I really want to make it more of habit therefore I need to make time for it whenever I can.

I have a huge haul this weekend as have been busy picking my winter make up must haves and they are either arriving this evening or tomorrow, a couple of single bits will also arrive next week including a liptick which i'm really excited about trying, and the more videos I see or and reviews I read I really wish I'd ordered more.........but I won't talk about it till it gets here as really don't want to curse it, my delivery 'luck' has been rubbish this week...........ok RANT!! I ordered some mac online bits on Monday at 11am, one hour before the 12pm next day delivery closing time, I also specified I wanted the 'AM' delivery as I didn't want to hang around all day. So. I waited, and got slightly worried as I had stuff to do as called to make sure it was coming, so guess what?! It hadn't even been processed, let alone on it's way. I was so annoyed, but the girl on the phone seemed sweet and just as baffled so I tried not to be mean. She promised to call before 6pm to let me know if it will be with me tomorrow, she didn't call. I called her and it will be with me on Thursday morning instead.

I know I know, I am being slightly dramatic and it's not the end of the world, but when I spend that much, I'd like to know if my item is arriving, at least call and tell me if it's not, why make the paying customers do all the leg work....it's ridiculous!

EDIT ON THE DELIVERY FRONT! Guess what turned up this afternoon about an hour after this post? Another Mac delivery, I was out so my sis signed for it, and it was my order again, minus one item, with Tuesdays date on it, while the one I got in the morning has todays on the delivery sticker. I was baffled. I'm assuming they didn't deliver it on tuesday not because they didn't process it. but that they didn't have one of the items to process it, therefore had to wait for them to be in stock again???! I don't know!!

Anyway!! My make up arrived from mac, and will do a Haul post all at once as it's a lot more exciting that way, but something special should be arriving later that's not make up and i'm sooo excited about that, so may have to post about that separately as it's so beautiful, it really deserves it's own post!!!

Can't wait!! xx
