New Love: Game of Thrones

I recently started watching the series and OH MY GOD it's amazing!

It's both hilarious and very gory and has the perfect amount of shock, at least for me anyway I keep gasping whenever anything happens :p .


I have also started to read the book I've read about 200 pages and happily the series has kept closely to the book. I like it when series and films don't deviate from the books.

Anyway dudes, go watch/read game of thrones if only for Lord Tyrian's (known as The Imp - because he is a dwarf-) hilarious remarks.

Nailing it: Tropical Sun

I've heard soooo much about the Models Own Beetlejuice collection. So I decided to try them out as they were 2 for £8 at boots.

As you may have seen from my boots haul I got the Tropical Sun and Indian Ocean colours.


It's a really pretty peach/orange colour with shimmer through it.


I was a tiny but disappointed with how opaque it was. This was three coats.


It was still a lovely colour and had a beautiful shine to it but for me it wasn't a strong enough colour. I think it might look nice with a colour underneath so I might do that next time I wear it.


It is pretty :) I'm glad I picked this one as it was the standout one of the collection (for me anyway). Pictures of Indian ocean to come :)

Au revoir xxx

Boots Mini Haul

Just to show my very last nail polishes :'(

I mean it! This is like giving up smoking but worse!


Models Own - Tropical Sun

I also decided to take the plunge and get the collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer. Everyone says it's amazing so why not?

Just a short post today lads :) xxx

Cheap Smells Haul

The second of my cheap smells shopping, and for just now the last! I am cannot buy anymore stuff! Well I mean technically I can but definitely no more nail polish :P Well, unless it's from an exciting new collection... God I'm awful.


I picked up a couple of things, I was most excited about the lipstick :) Annoyingly my photos of the Sunkissed eyeshadows and the Almay blush would upload properly... Stupid computers.


These are in the colours Coca and Antique Rose. I've tried on the Coca and it's a really nice colour. On the other hand I do not think the pink is "antique" in any way. A little bit disappointed but they were only about £2.


This is in the colour Inca Bronze and is really pretty on. Again it was about £3. I swear I get drawn in by the prices.


Not sure I like the colours that much on this especially number 2.


I've been wanting a white pencil for aaaages so when I came across this one I decided to buy it on a whim.



The box is beautiful.

The packaging is beautiful.
The colour is beautiful.

I have fallen in love with this lipstick! It's really creamy when it's on and it's so pretty. I'm going to do a whole post on it because I've just fallen for it heels over head.

Ta ta my lovers xxx

The Hunger Games : Take Two

THE MOVIE


After skating through the first two books (currently half way through the third) I took the plunge and went to see the film. 

At first I really wanted to go see the film. Then I fell totally in love with the book and that made me really not want to go and see the film. I just find when you love a book the film always ruins it. Classic example: Harry Potter. Oh how do I love thee... Awful films. 

Parts of the film were really good and I did enjoy it overall. 

However, I just didn't like it that much. I think if I hadn't read the book I would have liked it more. Also they were trying to keep the rating down (12 or 12A I think) which means it wasn't gory or bloody enough for me. Even if it was a 15 I think it might have been a bit better. 

Perhaps I'm a freak for liking the gore! :) 

The film also seems to settle the whole Peeta/Gale debate but the books in way leave to able to decide. Peeta is not a whimp people! He's lovely. 

It's definitely worth going to see, just don't get your hopes up too high if you've read the book. 


They are all just stunning aren't they? 

Love to you all xxx

Bits and Bobs :)

Recently I was kindly given a present by a friend (for no special reason, she's just lovely). It was a gorgeous ring...



Another friend described it as a finger hug :P because it's such a big ring. It's gorgeous I love it :)


I bought this beauty off Amazon a while ago and it's been on my iPhone ever since people keep thinking I'm being really lame (they mean really cool) and bringing my gameboy out with me. I love it, it's snazzy :)

Not being feeling the best :( went to see the Hunger Games on Friday (this was before I threw up, yum) I wasn't that impressed (read the book!). The mothership thinks I have a "grumbling" appendix (technical term) lets hope it doesn't explode before exams :p

Oh also Games of Thrones is amazing! Go watch it!

Much Love hope you're all doing better than me xxx
