Hurray! I know this is no longer my actual blog hone as I have moved to blogspot, but am really happy to announce that one of my all time fave bands T.A.T are now following me and 2. They just released another E.P on iTunes……a perfect ending to a rather long exhausting day at work! Well needed, please give them a listen!
My new blogging home can be found here:

Thankyou for reading thus far!
So pretty!

ELF Haul!
Apologies in advance about the quality of photograph! I stupidly lent out both of my cameras in the last 6 months and haven’t replaced them as one was damaged and the other was stolen in a club…I shall replace them as and when at least I can provide a sort of visual!
So myself, Laura (http://urbangoddessmua.blogspot.com/) and Jenny (http://www.jennyslittleboxofgems.co.uk/) my new blogging friends were all chatting over Twitter as you do and all placed orders on E.L.F - http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk that they kindly linked me to a free delivery code for and of course I gave the code to them! If you retweet my blog and manage to get me some new followers I will email you the link too!
Anyways! back to the haul itself!
I placed the order on Thursday afternoon and recieved it the next day which was brilliant!
So l-r from the top:
Matte Finisher Clear Nail Polish Matte Clear - is a clear top coat finishing polish which I am going to use on saturday! So when I have applied it, I will be sure to grab a photo of that, this cost £1.00 in the sale section!
Nail Varnish in TWINKLE - a clear glittery nail polish again this was £1.00! Pefect for adding a little bit of twinkle and shine on the days I don’t want to wear polish!
Daily Brish Cleaner £2.45 - self explanatory! but I shall tell you the instructions as it’s a spray bottle one:
After using your brush, spray several times over the brush bristles. Gently wipe the brush onto a clean cloth to remove makeup. Allow brush to fully air dry before next use. Repeat daily or as often as necessary. For best results use with the E.L.F brush shampoo once a week for thorough cleansing (ooops forgot to buy that!!).
Blushing, Bronzing and Blending Blush Brush £1.50
Brightening Eye Colour in Ethereal and in Noveau Naturals £1.50
Blending Eye Brush £1.50
Now I didn’t go too crazy as I have never used E.L.F cosmetics before and I have heard some pretty good things it was more for a review and items I can use myself and others would like. The two eyeshadows look pretty similar but I will give them a try tomorrow from my usual MAC ones just to see the difference - IF I get a compliment i’ll give them a huge thumbs up but I also look for ‘staying power’ and finish! The brushes were ones that I needed and were reccomended by Laura as I am trying to build up my brush collection. Wish I’d known I needed to buy the shampoo with the ‘Daily’ brush cleaner, my bad. Though seriously, I am impressed with delivery so far, I will also try and add some swatches of the eyeshadows too.
Let me know if you’ve bought anything from E.L.F recently or if you have done a you tube haul just message me the link! I’m nosey and like to see what other people are buying!
My next blogs will be based on BB Creams, Under Eye creams and CONCEALERS! hiding the awful circles under my eyes - I’ve been getting advice from Laura and Jenny - about what they use! So GO and check out their their blogs and we are also having a mini meet up in Manchester soon - so other local beauty bloggers and you tubers are welcome just send me a message or tweet me and as soon as I know any news I will let you know! We were also thinking of bringing products to do swapsies with, things we don’t ‘like’ or don’t use or were a waste of money to us but would be a treasure to someone else!
In other news: I also have a company from Bolton similar to Bomb Cosmetics and Lush but CHEAPER! They are also kindly sending me some of their products to review which I believe Jenny has also done a review for them too but I’ve only just seen it!- sorry!
I’ve got my January Carmine box, a little later than I was expecting it and shortly will be getting my February Glossybox as soon as they have arrived I will review them!
Also! sorry I promise this is the last thing! I am off to our yearly works party on Saturday and shall be dressing up for what seems like ages! I’ll be doing a pin-up 1950’s look, with a gorgeous navy/white polka dot full skirted dress so depending on how the photos come out I will post some photos and put a full product list of what I used!

that isn’t stereotypically ‘BEAUTIFUL’ and do you a) Pass Judgement, b) laugh c) Pity them? If you do….then…..have you ever thought that the same people wouldn’t do the same to you?
When people want to know more about me I struggle for words, I don’t even like talking about myself - but now I’m laying it all down on the screen for you to read, if you don’t care then that’s fine because neither do I.
I AM:
I’m curvy, I have big boobs, my skin is blemishy, I still get blackheads, I have dark circles under my eyes, I feel i have to wear make up if I am going out as I am afraid of being called UGLY as I look like someone from halloween first thing in the morning - I worry about people passing comments or looking at me with pity - I always think that as I have deep-set eyes, they make me look tired and I wear lots of eyemake up to make them look smaller. I have endemontriosis which can make me feel ‘fat’ and sluggish and sometimes I can’t fit my 12/14 clothes. I don’t diet or exercise because I am LAZY.
BUT.
I have accepted this. - Still reading?
I am now 28 nearing the age of 29 though people say I still look 22-24 which, annoys me as I feel they percieve me as childish or immature, when I feel that I am a lot more maturer than people would imagine or as my outgoing personality would portray me. I still like to dress in bold colours and make statements with my clothing, hair and make up, but that is just me and my own individuality.
I have a good friend network and plenty of people to socialise with but sometimes I feel lonely and I need attention or someone to rely on to ALWAYS be there but that’s because I am also a little bit SELFISH and have my own priorities, I hate being stood up or cancelled on but I do like to think that it’s not that I’m not worth bothering about or worth the effort….sometimes.
I have a family who are very supportive and loving. I don’t like my job but I have worked there for four years and I work there to keep myself with a roof over my head and food on my plate and fresh water. I don’t have any major commitments or responsibilities like children or caring for anyone, other than my cat. This is a good thing as it makes me feel FREE. However I sometimes feel SAD as I don’t want to ‘be left on the shelf’.
I haven’t had the best track record with relationships and it’s not always THEIR fault, I can be DIFFICULT, I can be NEEDY, I can be MOODY….but sometimes, it is their fault. I do believe that there is someone out there who will love me for ME. as i am never going to change myself for ANYONE. I am honest, funny and charming and outgoing. I am also moody, opionionated, selfish, needy and possesive.
HOWEVER, I am VERY LUCKY with what I’ve got. My health. My sight. My hearing (just). I’m alive. I am REAL and this is me.
This is what I would call a ‘Healthy perception’ of myself. I know who I am, but do you? Should you really judge a person by the way they look?
I LOVE thse jeans. Jus’ sayin

Started this blog more as a look book for myself and writing reviews about the items I am buying and where they are from. Also I like to let any readers know of any great offers on that i've seen so keep your eyes peeled.
I tend to shop a lot via ebay, charity shops and high street sales - then recycle it through ebay after a time. I basicaly like getting the best offers vouchers, bargains and showing my shopping hauls via photos, I'm hoping to start vblogging my shopping hauls soon, once I have a decent camera. Also beauty reviews on items I like. I don't have any sponsors or get sent free items, it's just items I've bought and my honest opinion.
