Diet coke Nails Inc promotion

Heyyyy guys, just a short blog for today.

got some of those new nails inc nail polishes because at the moment I've become obsessed with nail polishes especailly as summer is coming (hopefully) and then I can wear bright colours like pinks, yellows and oranges etc. so I saw some cardboard box type shelves in boots with diet coke and nail polish on, intriged I went to investigate turns out if you buy 2 bottles of diet coke you get a specail nails inc nail varnish for free. There are four different colours to collect all named after famous cities around the world:

London - a pale greyish, pink colour

Milan - a bright red

New york - a bright pink

Paris - a dark purple

I have Milan, New york and Paris but I don't have london as I don't personally like that colour. I find that you only need one coat it lasts for ages and is a really good deal considering nails inc nail polishes usually retail at £10.50 each 10ml pot.

thanks for reading byeeee xxxx <3

Garnier eye roll on

Hey everyone so its the weekend at last YAY!

I just thought I'd do a little post to keep you updated as my life has been very hectic this week.

So I went shopping on wednesday and bought two products both by garnier....

they are the caffeine eye roll on's. I got the normal one and the one with concealer added in. I have been looking at getting these for a while as I've seen them advertised on TV saying they treat dark circles and bags etc which I really needed to treat so heres the review....

this one is just the normal eye roll on. the first thing I noticed when I opened the box was the intense green of the bottle which I thought was a pretty cool colour and then the ball - now when I used this first I found it strange rubbing a ball around underneath my eye but now I've got used to it. it does really cool and refreshen your eyes and make then feel much more awake and makes the skin more tough and not so delicate. I have seen a difference in using this product as my dark undereye circles are getting a lot better, work still needs to be done but what can I say I've only been using this a few days.

this product is exactly the same but includes a concealer in the mixture so I will just focus on the concealer it will need to be rubbed in as the ball doesn't do a very good job but you cant ask for everything I guess. But it really does the job well you will no longer need to put a concealer under your eyes again if you use this. I use this product in the morning after I put on my foundation which it mixes in very well with.

all in all I have to say I love these products and will be repurchasing them when they run out.

they both cost £9.99 each for 15ml But at the moment there is a specail offer on at boots - if you buy two then you will only have to pay £12 which will equal £6 a bottle.

a strawberry smoothie for your skin

Heyyyy guys, just a quick post for you....

Just want to recommend a body cream from boots its from the natural collection range from Boots and is called strawberry body cream it smells delicious and looks amazing in the pot is a mixture of strawberry jelly cream swirlled with a white thick cream. it is definately a staple for your bathroom as it will add a cute touch. you can also use this product daily as it is very affordable priced at £3.49 for 250 ml.



I have just realised I cannot live with out sticky notes aren't they just wonderful with their different shapes, neon colours and not forgetting there sticky backs - making them handy, noticiable and lets face it FUN to stick on everything! I have realised now I have become so dependant on them I am litterally relying on them to help me get through my coursework - saving pages in certain books, posting to do lists all over my wardrobes and writing silly little notes on. Sometimes they have even saved my life with almost overdue work! yes they are brilliant and I think they deserve more credit! I'll leave you with that thought.

Candles and hairslides

Heyyyy guys so it's monday evening fun fun fun hope you've all had a good monday!

So I've just lit my rose scented candle and the smell is absolutely amazing if I knew where this was from I would definately recommend it to you ha ha. But anyways it says its meant to relax you and it actually is working. I decided to also do some revision and back up my very valueable computer files as I write this blog post.

So today I was sorting out my cupboard and found some candles that I was given to me for my birthday in march so I decided to start using them I had a rose one (which I'm burning now), an orange one which I hav'nt lit yet so I don't know whether it will smell gorgeous or will be a disaster, an apple one and a lavender one. I have always been a fan of scented candles as they can make even a dull room seem vibrant and the smell is also the first thing I notice when I walk into a room. but when I was little I had a bad experience with matches and since then have always been scared of lighting them which meant that every time I wanted a candle lit someone would haveto do it for me. In the end this long process of asking someone and getting them to find the mathes and light it etc became a very tiring process for such a simple, easy task - so I tried hundreds of different airfresheners and room sprays but none of them seem to be as great at making my spirits lift than the good old candle so years later here I am burning candles once again. But my favourited scented candle has always been a cinamon one which really smelt amazing but since then have never purchased a cinamon candle and I can't think why so next time I walk into a shop selling candles I'm going to make sure I try to find a cinamon candle and recommend it to you all.

I don't know about you but there is one thing I always have in my bedroom close to me and that I have noticed is bobby pins or hairslides whichever you want to call them and I find it really strange how I can need such a small peice of equiptment that only has one functional use - to grip hair back so frequently and depend on so often. hmmmm strange isn't it.

Now I've finished I'm going to snuggle down with a good film and hopefully fall asleep reletively earlier than yesterday when I managed to get to sleep at 2 in the morning and trust me I've been regretting it all day.

Sunday 2 May 2010

Hey guys today I wondering what to post because it's been ages since I posted anything and I just I really needed to. So I was looking around sites on the internet like river island, mac etc and I went onto lush and decided that I needed to take a trip there very soon as I have used up all the products I bought last time I was there in the shop that really was the best smell in town....

my first pick was flosty, gritter bubble bar which was recommended to me by a friend my first impression was that it was extremely sparkley and glittery and completely girly. the smell is very sweet im not really sure how to describe it. It for me was enough for 2 baths meaning that I cut it down the middle. It was basically just like a normal bubble bar and didnt really glitter like I thought it would but the water was indeed pink and left my skin feeling baby soft. this if anyone is wondering was £3.20 for 100g.


the next thing I picked up was the sweetie pie shower jellie somthing that I had purchased before and if you want to know my veiws click on the link as I have already wrote a review on it :)


the last thing I picked up was the each peach (and twos a pair) massage bar the first thing I noticed was the smell it was really strong peachy kind of citrusy smell which stood out from all the other massage bars. I picked it up and the lady walked over and talked me through how the massage bars worked basically they melt into your skin which I find is a very clever and effective fun way of making your skin smell amazing and feel soft. so I immidiately picked one up and joined the queue. this product I have found lasts for ages and so does the smell it is also (I find) a great pick me up smell for the morning to wake you up. I am definately going to repurchase it. it costs £4.63 for 65g.


Cannot wait to go for another visit to lush I am looking at purchasing some of their soaps - honey I washed the kids which is a honey cone looking and smelling soap, rock star which is bright pink and Miranda which is supposed to be a tropical smelling soap according to the website (I have not seen this soap in person).

Honey I washed the kids

Rockstar

Miranda


one last thing is it just me or have your nails breaking everyday for the past two weeks which mine have been doing and it's been getting on my nerves, I'm currently thinking it could be somthing in the air but have just applied nail strengthener just in case :).
