Is it just me or does everyone love getting parcels?my hair curler arrived!woo!

Hey everyone!
thankyou to the new followers/subscribers i really appreciate people reading my blog, and i love finding other peoples so if you want to leave me a comment with a link to your own blog , you are very welcome to do so!

I have to say I LOVE getting parcels in the post. Even though I know what I've ordered..when it comes wrapped up or in a big box with my name on I get really excited lol it's like having a birthday or christmas. I don't know if anyone gets as over-excited as I do though. :)

One of the nicest parcels comes from LUSH cosmetics. They put loads of effort into the wrapping paper and string to hold it together. I don't know if i've mentioned this before but you know the popcorn they use for packaging? well when i worked at LUSH we had a customer ring up and complain that they had eaten the popcorn in the box and now had an upset stomach! Well...what a silly thing to do!! hehe. Honestly something that has been covered in bath bomb dust isn't going to taste very pleasant is it?

For working there i've had numerous parcels from them (especially christmas time when everybody gets a bumper selection of all the seasonal goodies) and they are absolutely fab! It kind of reminds me of a lucky dip at a carnival when you bury in the sawdust for a little present, except with lush its popcorn :) (chosen because its dio-degradable,and lightweight).

You have to love LUSH to work there, I was a lush addict and a nice perk of the job is you get to try samples of most of the products to be able to sell them to customers in future. You have to really know what your talking about as well as the ingredient knowledge and skin types etc. I have it all in my memory still too. I think its the kind of information that never leaves you...

anyway I'm rambling..what i really wanted to blog about was my new Babyliss pro porcelain conical wand



I ordered these for £30 inc p+p from www.hqhair.com. The delivery was fast and I even got free samples of fekkai hair conditioner :)

This is what it looks like, pretty plain but let me tell you the effects are far from plain!!

Yes Im pulling a silly face as usual!

This is my hair the day AFTER I used these tongs. I absolutely love the soft wave effect and its so easy to do!simply wrap a random section of hair around the barrel and hold for a few seconds then release.
I've heard reviews that said people have burnt their fingers on these but I can honestly say I haven't and im not using the free finger shields provided.
I have the babyliss curl press too and that it fiddly to use and burns my fingers but this does not. I'm so gutted I hadn't bought it sooner!

I also bought a pair of the false eyelashes designed by Girls Aloud from superdrug.
I bought cheryl's pair, but only because It was too difficult to choose as they are all gorgeous



They look very dramatic but tiny in the box but the effect on it stunning compared to other false eyelashes I have tried. MAC's eyelashes for example are often a little too long and then the effect of your eye make-up is lost a little. These girls aloud lashes however are 'my own lashes but more lush' kind of material.

People think Cheryls lashes are very dramatic and are night time wear but I would happily wear them in the day because they dont look too dramatic on me.

I'm going to treat myself to a different members eyelashes every week from now on lol.

Speaking of treats my lovely boyfriend bought me MACs 187 because it was 10% at debenhams. Im extreamely happy with it, but it doesnt seem to be drying very fast...any tips?



thank you for looking! hope you are all having a nice weekend :) x

My great big clumsy feet

...nearly crushed my MAC parcel today.
Mr Postman should shove it though the letter box a little better because I basically stand on all sorts when I get in from college (bye bye mums contact lenses box!)

Anyway it was my first purchase from the MAC site as i normally prefer going to the counter to see everything in person. I have to say I'm very impressed with the delivery time. I ordered it Wednesday lunch and it got here Friday morning with my lovely sugarsweet goodies :) yay!

Ive not tried everything out yet because I'm 100% knackered having done nothing but coursework for the last week, and any eyeshadow I put on won't distract from the fact i have square eyes at the moment.

However I did swatch somethings. I actually only bought the MSF in perfect topping, bubbles and lollipop loving lipsticks and another eye brush- not collection related. I already have Saint Germain lipstick from ages ago which I love and wear religiously and its available in the UK all the time so I didnt get a back up.

I did want the peppermint patti nail colour but considering i never get round to doing me nails- and i wish i did! I'd rather buy the Barry M mint green which looks really similar.

Anyway just a quick review to say the Bubbles shade I was really excited about looks alot more sheer in real life- it might just be me but im paler than nc15 so the bubbles is practically the same colour as my skin which means I can wear it on its own without layering it! woohoo!

Also the lollipop loving is divine, I knew I was going to like it because its the same depth of colour as see sheer, only its a thousand times prettier because of the gold reflects.

My MSF is too pretty to touch at the moment im just in awe of it.

thought I'd share my make-up ramblings as it's a refreshing break to be talking about this then the tedious collage work I have to do.

ooooh one last thing I'm dead excited because I'm starting a media make-up course after easter- well its actually the cosmetic make-up first, but who cares! Im super looking forward to a valid excuse for buying tonnes of make-up :D
