BNTM Live

Helllooooo!!! Sorry I didn’t post this yesterday. Went out for a few drinks afterwards so ended up coming home super late! Had an incredible day, although I felt slightly overwhelmed at times. There was just soooo much to look at. Amazing! If you would like more detail about the day you can have a look at the website http://www.bntmlive.com/ Definitely worth a look for next year! Great day out!!! Smile 

I wont go into too much detail. I will just leave you with a few pics to give you an idea of the day.

I loved every second of the catwalk show. Beautiful ladies, sexy men, and great music. PERFECT!!!

 

Sorry my photos aren't very good quality, I only have a basic camera.

 

Have you ever been to BNTM Live? Would you like to go?

 

Hope you are all well xxxx

NOTD

 

Morning crumpets!? I cant decide if its cold or not? Strange right? I just don't know what sort of jacket to wear!! haha.  Layers are definitely the way forward.

 

Seeing as is a bit dark and gloomy outside, thought I would give you a quick NOTD post….shocking pink! Brightens up anything!

How absolutely gorgeous is this colour?? LOVE!  Its Rimmel’s lasting finish 066 Cranberry Zest.

 

Do you like to wear bright colours in Autumn / Winter? Or do you prefer sticking to subtler neutral colours?

 

Speak soon xxx

Neti Pot

 

Afternoon beauties!! How are all you?

For those of you who are a bit squeamish I suggest you don't read this post!!

My PINK Neti Pot Open-mouthed smile 

 

Todays post is going to be something a bit different. As the title suggests, I am going to talk a bit about my Neti Pot. Now, I'm sure there are many of you who have absolutely no idea what the hell that is- I don't blame you. I only learnt recently. A Neti Pot is a form of nasal irrigation. Yuck…!? Yeh, I thought so at first too.

 

Well as you can see from my picture above, the Neti Pot has a spout- seeing as its nasal irrigation you can imagine what you have to do with that spout! For those of you who would like to see it in action click below Smile (its not me)

 

 

 

I know it looks a bit weird and gross. I've tried it out quite a few times now. It feels kind of strange to be honest- but not in a bad way. I think sometimes I'm not doing it properly though, because sometimes the water goes down my throat, which isn't very nice!

 

You may be wondering why anyone would want to do this? Well there are various health benefits. I suffer from asthma and as a consequence am also allergic to animal hair, feathers and pollen. Don't get me wrong, its not that bad, but I thought Id give it a go. Especially now for winter time when people fall ill, maybe by keeping my nasal passages fresh and clean I wont get so blocked / runny!? Who knows.  Here's a link it you would like to know more about the health benefits of the Neti Pot http://www.netihealth.com/benefits.html.

 

Have any of you ever tried a Net Pot? If not, would you like to try it or does it freak you out a bit?

HD BROWS

Afternoon lovelies! Hope you are all well. Ive just been working and meeting up with friends- living for the weekend! Sad right!?

Soooo you may or may not remember that in Septembers Glossy Box we received HD Brow kit. This is just a quick post to show you what my brows look like with the darkest shade on…I have naturally dark brown brows. I don't normally fill them in, but I will say that I quite enjoyed the look! Its incredible what eyebrows do to your face.

I have a strange obsession with eyebrows. I hate to say it, but I judge people by their eyebrows- a lot! If you have perfect brows I will be staring at you and will probably come up to you and ask you how the hell you managed to get them to look so damn good!? I no longer pluck my brows, I get them threaded. I obviously don't have an eye for those sorts of things because I would constantly over pluck and lose all shape. Came very close to having no brows at all!

Eva Longoria and Selena Gomez with no brows. Just saying….

Now that's a nice defined brow right?? THANK YOU HD BROWS!

Do you fill your eyebrows in? Are you as obsessed with brows as I am?

Have a great day beauties! Back away from the tweezers!!! xxx

Glossy Box September

Greetings gorgeous girlies (too much!?) Thought id do a quick post with a few pics of the September Glossy Box. It is my first box, and I'm super excited about it A bit late, I know!

Pretty much squealed when I arrived home and realised it had been delivered Smile hehe. I’ll do a follow up post with a few product reviews. For those of you who are not yet familiar with  Glossy Box I personally think it is a brilliant idea. You subscribe to receive 5 luxury mini products every month. Which means you will always be up to date with the latest beauty trends AND it introduces you to new brands and products which you may not otherwise have known. The only downfall I suppose is that you don't get to chose what goes in the box, but obviously that is a risk you take when you subscribe. I think its is reasonably priced- a little on the pricey side(£10 + P&P) considering it is every month and you have no idea what you will be receiving, But on the plus side it is delivered in a beautiful box which you can use for storage which is always an issue! Soooo without further a do then pictures for the September Glossy Box

So, what do we have here?

1. a sample of Mary Greenwells perfume Plum. I have given it a little sniff and it smells promising!

2. 2 Spa Magik’s salt brushing sachets- I am looking forward to this- will make a lovely treat. Part of me feels that 2 sachets was a bit stingy, but I suppose it depends how much is in each and how far it will go.

3.Green peoples Fruitful night cream for younger looking skin- thankfully my skin hasn't aged too badly just yet (I'm 24!) but ill give it a go!

4.Neal Wolfs Glow spray for super shiny hair. Who doesn't want shiny hair? Count me in!.

5 HD High Definition brows. I sometimes fill in a few bald patches i have in my brows. I normally use ELF’s eyebrow kit as I don't do it every day, just special occasions Haha.

6.And finally, the little card that comes in the box with the product descriptions. Sorry for the poor photo quality!!

 

I’ll be back soon with a brief review of all the products. Until then my lovelies xxxx

Lets start again ….

This is only my second post, but my first one using Windows live writer, so not sure how it is going to turn out. bare with me whilst I get to grips with all of this please!

As you have probably already noticed, there is an extremely big gap between my first post and this post now…nearly a year! You're probably wondering why. I have no real excuse, apart from the fact that life took over. Everything became a bit much and i had to adjust to various changes in my life which of course meant that starting a blog was left completely on the back burner. Everything thing seems quite settled at the moment – well as settled as can be! So, hopefully this will be my first post of many- and not just a post a year! haha.

Enough of the chit chat. I've got some photos for you! A bit random, but I'm just going to throw them all on here. I hope you enjoy!

Some rings i bought from Primark. The job I had at the time required my to always have my nails french manicured, so I would go and get them done at a salon. Now I do my nails myself, so I will be able to post a few nails pictures and varnish reviews Smile

How cute are these mugs!?!? Also from Primark. I absolutely adore them! Nothing beats a nice cup of tea before bed time Winking smile Speaking of bed, I think that is where im going to head off now! Don't want to overwhelm everyone with a massive picture heavy post because I haven't been able to blog for a year Surprised smile 

 

Good night sweethearts, Thanks for reading <3 xxxx
