My first jucy tubes

OK so I'm years late jumping on the juicy tubes band wagon and don't i regret it! I don't know why i never tried them before it was clearly a mistake.




These were in TK Maxx for only £16 Bargin! my lovely mother brought them for me and I'm so glad she did. This is a limited edition world tour pack with 3 full size tubes in, id say its defiantly worth the money if you can find them in your TK Maxx.

There is no point in me telling you about the consistency of juicy tubes as you all probably own one but for those living under a rock like me they are so thick and sticky that they stay on your lips for so much longer than the average lip gloss and they taste and smell gorgeous!!
The colour isn't as pigmented as id like but I'm still happy with them and they don't dry out my lips at all.
The colours in this pack are........





Rio Peach (tastes like peach)


Paris Moulin Rose (tastes like roses)


NYC Chealsea Coffee (tastes like starbucks all over your lips yum)

At first i thought i wouldn't like NYC Chealsea Coffee at all and i thought Rio Peach would be my favorite but i LOVE all 3 and Paris Moulin Rose is so far my favorite.


If you see these in your TK Maxx i strongly recommend them they are truly a bargin!!

Revlon ColorStay


This post is about Revlon Colorstay Mineral Mousse Foundation. I got this just one lunch time because I'm so lazy lately id just rather sleep than wake up super early to make myself up, shame on me. Anyway so in the morning i just do my eyes and hair and then run for work so i brought this to keep in my drawer.
I wasn't expecting an excellent foundation else id go and buy a mac i just wanted something i can wack on in 2 secs with my fingers and this turns out is perfect for that! My shade is Light, its the palest there is and i didn't think it would match me so well but its an excellent match for my skin and although its not a really heavy coverage as you can still see my blotchy cheeks through it, i find its enough just to perk me up through the day.
Its a mousse foundation but i wouldn't say its the same kind of mousse as the dream matt mousse, i think this is much nicer and its more liquidy and i find its quite moisturising, it doesn't dry me out at all.
Over all i would defiantly buy this product for my drawer again.




In other revlon blogging when the hell is photoready coming out in the UK? i know i can buy it on the boots website but i want to buy it in person. curse boots and their slow delivery.
well im sorry its been so long. Im still skint but iv got a few things latly and il have to drag out my blogging about them.

id really quite like this please

yes Mark Jacobs Daisy Air or is it Daisy Garland, i have seen it advertise as both. I wasn't a huge fan of the original Daisy perfume BUT this has violet in it and that changes everything! Violet is a gorgeous scent, there is a pure violet perfume that old ladies have and to be honest i think i need that, what is there not to like about smelling of parma violets all day long.
As soon as i sniffed this in boots all afternoon i could smell it, its lovely.
I would have brought it with my precious boots points but I'm so skint i had to use them to buy tooth brushes today.
I will work on getting this perfume, hopefully before it discontinues.

its been too long!

well im sorry iv been a rubbish blogger lately i blame my boyfriend for completely taking over my computer, so i got a new one a nice shiny new pink laptop, its not as nice as the one he has taken over but it will do just fine for this.
Of course becasue i have brought this i probably wont have much money to buy make up to blog about, iv been good receintly not buying any make up im proud of myself.

I have been thinking about maybe buying Benefits Sugarbomb blush with my boots points but at the moment i cant bare to spend them i have worked hard for them.
Is sugarbomb worth it or should i just get Coralista? ...... I do already have NARS Orgasim? oh so many questions.

Well il go now, no one wants to read a blog with all writting no pictures, well i dont anyway.
I will have something to blog about soon even if it means shoplifting HA im joking seriously i am joking.

Pay Day Purchases


YAY ITS PAY DAY!
so at lunch i popped into lush to buy a shampoo for my mum and asked when the lip scrubs would be released and they had them! I couldn't have just one i had to have them all!

So here they are, There are 3 different flavors: Bubblegum , Sweet Lips and Mint Julips.
They all taste delicious and as they are made from pure sugar you dont have to wipe them from your lips you just lick away :) yum!

Bubblegum Lets just be honest here this IS just Snow Fairy in your mouth! obviously without the hideous taste of soap if you had actually snow fairy in your mouth. This is bright pink and consists of Caster sugar, and Organic Jojoba Oil. when i smell it i just want to stick my tongue in.. oh the shame.

Sweet Lips tastes just like a sugary vanilla caramel combo. It doesn't remind me of a particular Lush Product like Bubblegum does but its nice and sweet just like youd expect. This is made of Caster Sugar and Jojoba Oil, Vanilla Extract, Cocoa Absolute and Tagetes Oil. Out of all three this is my least favorite but im still going to use it, its still nice just not as nice as the others.

Mint Julips This is soooo tasty! its just like smearing mint chocolate all over your lips i love it! This is my favorite and i think the one i will use the most, im going to stick it in my bag, il keep one in the car and one possibly at work. This is made of Caster Sugar, Jojoba Oil, Vanilla Extract, Tagetes Oil and Peppermint Oil.

I have used these all afternoon since i got them just because they taste so good! the only this is id say my lips are now in worse condition than they were before because i am constantly licking and biting at them, i will try my best to use a balm after using these.



The size difference for the same price!
(Excuse my boyfriend asleep behind lol )

Then after work I went into boots to get this YSL Parisienne Set. I have the small bottle of this perfume and i adore the scent but i find it has zero staying power on my skin so i have to drench myself in the stuff, so i have used up half a bottle which i only got before christmas and that is with not wearing it everyday.
This set has the bigger 50 ml bottle and a body lotion for £30 which i just couldn't resist as i payed £30 for my little bottle and that was with discount. The 50ml is around £38/£40 i think so this set is a steal and id rather stock up now than pay full price for something that will run out in a matter of months.

I hope you enjoyed my little purchases, im also going to get some twilight make up from ASOS.com, i cant help myself i must look like i could attract Edward Cullen.

Urban Decay Ammo Shadow Box

Hey sorry its been so long. I just have a little review to do, i know this product has been out for ages but i got it in the sale and just thought i have to do it because the colours are so pretty.



So i got this in House of Fraiser down to £17 from £22 not much of a saving but its better than full price. I really like the colours in this set as they are so versatile they can be worn everyday or for going out, my favorite out of every urban decay pallet is always oil slick which i use the most, i love a black eye look.


So here are the Swatches im so sorry about my gross arm but its better than my spindly hands.

*Smog.
I really like this deep brown colour, its not clumpy with glitter more sheer, it will make a lovely everyday smokey look.

*Mildew.
This is a beautiful colour which i will never use. i just dont think greens suit me and i always feel sort of over dressed if i attempt to wear green shadow, i did once in high school on a day we had sex education and was accused of having syphilis because it had faded to a yellow colour, hence my staying away from green/yellow eyeshadow. story over.

*Oil Slick.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this shadow. I AM going to buy the full size of this, iv hit pan on my old UD palled with this colour. It goes on the lid beautifully and stays there. The only downside is the fall out but i guess it cant be helped.

*Last Call.
This colour looks purple in the pallet but i think on skin it looks much more pinky with silver sparkles. it wouldn't be a colour id wear on a day to day basis but i think im going to use this for a valentines day look.

*chopper.
Again a nice neutral every day colour with the extra sparkle, this swatch does not do it justice as it makes it look quite orange but its not like this on the face.

*Maui Wowie.
I really like this colour, a champagne sort of colour. I would wear this every day and i think would make a nice inner eye colour as well.

*Shattered.
A turquoise greeny blue mermaid colour which i will also never wear. its such a pretty colour that i might try to attempt it one day but i cant see it happening anytime soon. I feel like such a wh*** in these vibrant colours lol.

*Polyester Bride.
This is a vibrant white with shimmer. It could make a nice inner eye colour but i think its very pigmented and i prefer my inner eyes to be sheer. I will try it out and it could be nice for blending.

*Grifter.
This is a Purple/Pink colour that again looks brighter on the skin. its pretty and il make an effort to wear it, i dont have much more to say about it.

*Sin.
I Really like this shade, its another champagne colour and i think i could wear this on its own all over the lid, i really want the primer potion in sin as well.

So to sum up the blog, i love this pallet even though i wont use some of the colours, its worth it for the ones i will. Sorry im no good at reviewing but you might just like to look at what iv brought.

lots of love xxx

(P.S i passed my driving test yay for me)
