Ohh u little Elf

Dont you love that Elf has had TWO 50% off offers this summer! Being an absolute cheapskate I certainly do! Here's what I bought in round one!




Firstly their new flawless finish foundation-it's amazeballs!
The mineral booster in sheer-I use it to set the flawless finish.
The complete coverage concealer in light-



Really really nice! I put the mineral concealer overtop to prevent creasing!

Iv found the loveliest blush (pink passion) in the world...a little frightening at first glance but you can where is really sheer or build it up - see - sexy or what???



I usually use the little compact eyebrow powder and waxy stuff but I bought the treat&tame to try it...I got it in medium...it's perfection...




I also got ANOTHER conditioning lip balm in Peaceful pink. It's the most sheer one of the bunch and just gives a little tint but still really moisturising and tastes lush!




Along with that is a lipstick in 'Posh'. A gorgeous red. Again you can wear it sheer or build it up! It also could be used as a stain which is what I did, then added a little peaceful pink lip conditioner to keep my lips soft!

I got another cream eyeliner to add to my 300000 other eyeliners! This time it's purple.



Not the best photo in the world but it's a dark rich purple with gold/brown undertones....lurvly with my Hazel eyes!

The last thing I picked up was a toolbelt. I wanted one for starting class again in September because trying to find the right brush in my 3 rolls is a pain in the bum!




Let's hope it helps!!!


In total I spent about £45 but remember I got it for HALF PRICE which meant I only spent about £25 after delivery! woohoo! Let's hope ELF do a few more of their 50% off offers!

They are currently running a 33% off offer at the minute, just use the code MAD33 at the checkout! (UK & Europe code only offer valid till 3pm 12/8/11. Min spend £15)

Over & Out!

#bbloggers = new friends!

A couple of weeks ago the #bbloggers chat was about beauty/cosmetic events usually being in London and how did we as bloggers feel about it. As I reside in Northern Ireland I added my 2 cents which went something along the lines of "waaaaa it's not fair *cryface* there's never events in Belfast". I got chatting to couple of lovely ladies about the subject then about other randomness when one of us would tweet.

GET TO THE POINT

So one of those ladies was Fiona (@fifibel) who works for New York Color. She DM'd me on twitter and asked could she send me some makeup...I said "yes please!" and the rest is history :-)

The bag arrived two days later (on my birthday!). I haven't had a chance to try out anything but when I do I will blog about it. But for now here is what I got!

























Wowza! Thank you guys at NYC so so much! I cant wait to get a day of work to test everything out!!

Over&Out!

A week in pictures

I ran out of petrol 2 days before payday...:-( luckily mumsy was on hand to lend me a tenner!




I bought some plain casted meerkats and gave them an awesome makeover....check out the red nails and blue eyeshadow!




I dusted the TV (and the rest of the house) after several months of pure avoidance!!




The view from the McDonalds in Belfast...instagram style!




I frittered my paycheck...:-( *note to self - do haul post*




Who knew you could make eggs explode by boiling them...for 45mins...and letting the water boil off...oopsy!!

Birthday Wishlist

Bit of a cheeky number...but I shall explain myself...

I NEED TO GO SHOPPING!!!

No really...I do.

I want need so many new shiny, pretty, floral, sparkley things.

I will be turning 24 in a couple of weeks and when asked what I wished for, I being the selfless being that I am...*flutters lashes*...asked for world peace...JOKES! I asked for money of course! Just so that I can do a little (or a lot) of "guilt free" shopping...a  little 'mad money' if you will :-)

So below are a few of the items I have my eye on...if i don't get them when I go shopping I will SCREAM AND CRY AND THROW A MASSIVE HISSY FIT...noooot! I will buy something else...Coz I'm craaaaazy ;-D

Lovely white number from RI

These Real Technique brushed I have been DYING to try!

I may have to stick to the budget with just this one :-(

Id also love to pick up some of the MUA Pro range it looks absolutely amazing from the blog posts I have seen!


So that's about all i can think of for now...obviously I will be grateful for any present I may be given on the celebration of my 24 years so far....:-)

Pictureshow

Afternoon cocktails with my best friend. Then saw Bridesmaids! "I'm glad he's single because I'm going to climb that like a tree." LOLZ!


I made my first attempt at embroidery this week...it's so freaking hard...I went to borrow my grannys hoop and she proceeded to tell me that u need special thread and you use different 'stitches'....needless to say she sorted me right out!




At a vintage fair...asked my mum if she remembers her first washing machine...I felt like DiNozzo getting a headslap from Gibbs




I have decided I'm getting one of these cats...my friend and I are going to use it as a whiteboard next year when we move in together...**not actually-drunken ideas lol**



Dyed my hair....:-)

Epic failure...

So much for my plan to be an epic consistent blogger...more like epic failure lol!

I'll be honest I don't really have a reason for not blogging other than sheer lack of inspiration and enthusiasm...But having found a load of new bloggers to suck both inspiration and enthusiasm from I'm feeling the need to write. (I hear ya screaming 'YAY')

Anywho I'm posting this from my iPhone so I'm not sure these links will work or even look right but hey...wotevs...these are the people from whom iv been sucking essence from...:-)
