U ROK powder purple



 
A beautiful powdery purple/ striking blue shade, this polish is my favourite colour of the moment.
With a slightly icy feel to it, this polish will be perfect for the change from spring to summer!
The brush applicator is easy to use, allowing the product to flow on quickly and easily. I also love the love hearts themed packaging- super adorable!
No doubt I shall be sporting this shade all week.
 
What is your favourite MUA polish colour?

A day in the life...

Hey dolls :)
Just got back from a quick meet up with one of my close friends, Izzie.
Our original plan was just to meet for a mocha and catch up, but quickly spiralled on to me hoarding books and swamping the MUA stand in superdug, but hey, whatcha gonna do?

My fail at trying Barry M's crocodile effect polish- probably wont be buying that anytime soon :S

Friday Favourites

Hey dolls :)
So I've been all over the place recently; with my exams drawing near, and coursework deadlines soon to be; I have been rushing about like a lunatic, hoarding folders and files of useless physics information in which I will forget about in a few years to come.
I also launched my new baking blog this week :) It is a joint blog with my younger sister, as we both share a love for baking and cupcakes! You'll be seeing recipes and weekly recommendations and reviews from the wonderful world of food. Check it out---

This week has flown by, giving me not much time to think of my weekend wishlist or friday favourites, so bare with me!!

This week I have been loving...


Cute stationary. A random thing to be raving about on a beauty blog, I agree, but after finding these adorable rubbers in my secret stash of crap, I fell in love!


Orange Circle T-shirts. After being introduced through a lovely youtuber, I have been scanning their site frantically this past week. I am super excited to order one; I love the deathly hallows!


Lastly, I have been adoring... tea. Yes, that's right; I've been totally obsessed with cups of tea this week. Being a coffee person, the thought of a nice cuppa with a digestive hadn't really crossed my mind, but it's one cup after the other with me!!


What have you been obsessing over this past week?

BubbleGum Kisses



Leaving your lips soft and refreshed, this product from LUSH is perfect for the last of the cold days.
Made from pure sugar, not only does this bubblegum lip scrub keep your lips smooth and crack-free, but tastes divine too!
After purchasing the bubblegum flavour, and loving it; I'm super tempted to try the other flavours!

What's your favourite lip scrub flavour?

Starry Lights



Starry Lights is a somewhat skinny cream latte inspired shade, connoting bare yet delicious. I use this as a highlight for under my brows, or an all over lid colour. Nude is the new smokey, in my opinion!
With a slight lemony hint, this will be perfect for the upcoming pastel fad this spring/ summer 2012.
Exciting much?!
This product applies so well, using a small eyeshadow brush, or even a smudge, it glides on nicely, blending well with your natural skin colour.

I use this mostly to help awaken my tired eyes (half 6 for lessons is always a drawback to education...) in the morning.

What do you think of No7 eye shadows? What's your favourite shade? Any nude shadows I should check out?

Weekend Wishlist 5

I am a huge fan of Marc Jacobs- to me, he's such an inspiration, so when I spotted this cute and kitsch jumble letter necklace, I fell in love! The heart in the 'A' makes it all the more quirky! A definate splurge for the summer...
I have never tried an essie polish before, but am really tempted. The only thing holdiong me back is the cost- a little pricey for a small pot of varnish :S
This sleek and stylish watch from asos.com is perfect for the upcoming ice-cream pastel fad this spring- affordable too!
This casual matrix-esque tee is perfect for those lazy sundays, or even for a summer festival- T4 on the beach anyone?
I love anything with skulls on, so when I found this hidden treasure in H&M I couldn't help but fall a little further for their fun and creative vest tops. The summer feel to it makes it all the better!
Dollybowbow is great for one off cute and quirky pieces, and this bicycle necklace proves just how kitsch it is!
I've wanted a denim skirt and rayban style sunnies for a while, maybe this summer I'll crack?
Finally, Gosh's lets twist eye liner in black would be great for a little eye definition this season.
What do you think? What's on your weekend wishlist?
