Hey, beauties!

With it being the end of February, it means my birthday is only 22 days away. Yep, on the 21st of March I will be turning 23. Yay! Actually, I don't know why that needs a yay. I feel old!

Last year I did a birthday wishlist, so I thought I would make it a tradition and do one again this year. Some of the items are totally not going to happen, but hey, a girl can wish.
I've already had my birthday money off of my Mum, so she is one person I know I definitely won't be getting anything off of on the day.

As you can see, I have a slight addiction with shoes at the minute. I'm dying to start wearing heels more as I always feel more grown up when I'm wearing them. I just need to work on strengthening my ankles. I'm not sure what happened to 16 year old Sam who could strut around in them all night without an issue.
You can also probably tell how I'm loving wearing my hair at the minute. When ever I'm having a bad hair day, or even just want it out of my face, it goes in a bun. I'd love a couple of ways to dress that look up. I am utterly in love with the bun cage. Originally seen here. I love, love, love Ulrikke Lund's blog.

I'm also in dire need of some new muji drawers, as my make-up stash has finally overflowed and I no longer have room for new products. I'm currently creating little 'neat' piles on my dresser. :/

The heated rollers and the camera are both items I have been lusting after for a while.
I'd like to get back into vlogging for my vlog channel, I haven't done it since vlogmas, and I really need a decent compact camera in order to do that. This one is perfect, but it is pricey! The website I have found linked is the cheapest I have found it. Although I'm not totally sure it's legit as Currys is selling it for over £300.

The rollers are just a want item. I've never tried them before and I've seen copious amounts of reviews on these. Each making me want them more.

I don't expect I'll get any of this, but like I said before, a girl can wish. If I get any money, I may treat myself to a couple of items on the list myself. I'm not sure if it's the same with many of you guys, but now I'm in my 20s, my family doesn't tend to give for birthdays. They are saved more for the young'uns that are now being born into our family.

Anywhoooo, what are you guys lusting over this week?

Soap & Glory - Mist you madly Body spray blogger | body spray | boots | girlingo | glamalot | mist you madly | perfume | review | scent | smell | soap and glory | whenflowersfall

Howdy, my lovelies!

Today, I wanted to share with you a new purchase I picked up the other day. 

It was a very rare occasion, but with it being after Christmas, I had a few pennies burning a whole in my pocket. After wondering aimlessly around Boots for a while, I gave this beaut a little sniffy. 

If you're a fan of Soap and Glory, then you may just love this as much as I do. 

The Mist you madly body spray is the ideal addition to your handbag. 

The soft floral scent is clean and girly, much like every other scent you can connect to Soap and Glory products. In this you can find hints of bergamot, blackcurrant, magnolia, freesia, vanilla and musk.

The scent isn't too strong that it hurts your nose, but it does last a good while.

The bottle is super cute and I think that's what made me pick it up in the first place. My bottle is 100ml and I purchased it for £3.50, but you can also pick up a bigger, 250ml bottle for only £6.50. Complete bargain, if you ask me.

Soap and Glory also have two other body sprays, Girlingo and Glam-a-lot. I'd love to try these out and I will most definitely be picking them up when I see them. 

Maybelline Colour Tattoo - Pink Gold blog | boots | color tattoo | cream | example | eyes | eyeshadow | gold | maybelline | pink | pink gold | review | superdrug | swatch | whenflowersfall

Hi, my lovelies!

It's been a little while since I last did a little product review. 

Today, I'm sharing with you a new favourite of mine. The Maybelline colour tattoo cream eye shadow in Pink gold. 

When these products first popped up on the shelves I did pick up three shades, but when I recently saw this one appear I knew I had to have it straight away. 

I've been a little on the fence about these products, I find that certain shades apply better than others , but this one applies like a dream. I usually apply it with a brush, but it as just as easily applied with your fingers. 

The consistency of the eye shadow is perfectly smooth and blends really well! 

I've heard a couple of people say that they think the colour of this product makes them look a little tired or ill, but if you do like a soft eye or something quite natural looking, I feel this is the perfect eyeshadow for you.

Like myself, you can either wear this alone or as a base for a different colour/product.

Just as Maybelline claims, this product does last a very long time. I can't say that I have tested it out for a full twenty four hours, but I can vouch for a good sixteen at least. 

I absolutely adore the packaging. The glass may not be ideal if you travel a lot as it can be slightly heavier, but I do think it gives a more 'expensive' feel. 

As with the rest of the colour tattoos, this product is sold for £4.99 and you can pick it up at any Boots or Superdrug store that stocks Maybelline products.

Hey, lovelies!

I'm officially back from my little Christmas break and I felt like sharing an outfit I wore on Boxing day with you. 

Liam's family and I went out to the local Indian restaurant in the evening for an amazing meal. Funnily enough though, only one out of the five out us ate an Indian dish. 

We also took part in the pub quiz that we didn't know was taking part, but somehow we ended up winning! The prize was a bottle of whiskey, so it's safe to say that Liam's dad was pretty chuffed. 

I'm sorry about the quality of these photos. Liam took them on my phone for me as I didn't actually take my camera with me.

Are you all looking forward to NYE?

Truthfully, the title of this post has nothing to do with the post. It's simply the song that it stuck in my head right now.

A few weeks back I was asked to write a couple of posts for the blog on SpyLoveBuy. In return they offered to send me a pair of shoes of my choice. 

The shoes I chose were the Sandra block heel boots.  I tried to chose a more 'Winter suitable' pair, but I keep on going back to these. When they arrived, they were just as beautiful as I thought, and even though Liam hates how tall I am in them, I adore them. 

These may not be puppy walking boots, but they're certainly going to get a lot of wear!

Hey, lovelies!

A little while back I spent the afternoon shooting some outfit photos. I kept a few of the back for a rainy day, but then proceeded to change my hair, and I simply forgot all about them. 

Whilst flicking through my photo folders last night, I came across them and figured I would post them today before I forget about them again.

It's really weird seeing me wearing those shoes. They're now dead and gone, all chewed up by Mr.Bug. Problem is, now I don't own one single pair of pumps. Hurry Christmas, I need to do shopping for myself! Haha. 

I'd totally planned on filming a couple of beauty videos today, but I seem to have had an allergic reaction to something and my skin is as dry as a desert.

Can you believe it's the 11th already?

Rimmel Kate Matte Lipsticks 101 | 110 | boots | kate | kate moss | lips | lipstick | makeup | matte | orange | pink | red | review | rimmel | swatches | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

When I heard that Rimmel were bringing out a new range of Kate Moss lipsticks, I knew I had to have a couple. But, when I heard that the new range was entirely matte, I dashed to my nearest Boots right away. 

Luckily for me there was a 3 for 2 offer on, so I ended up picking two of the new range and one shade from the older line. (I'll blog about that one soon.)

First, I picked up shade 101. Surprisingly enough, I don't actually have many soft pinks in my collection and this one caught my attention straight away.

I'd definitely describe this as a soft baby pink with blue undertones. 

The second shade I picked up was 110, a really bold and daring orange red. 

This colour is amazing, but something I wouldn't normally pick out in fear that it would hake my teeth look incredibly yellow. Which, you'll be pleased to know, it doesn't. 

Both lipsticks are ridiculously long wearing. I actually wore shade 110 a lot whilst we were staying in Leeds and I found it even lasted throughout me eating a 3 course meal. It did need a teeny bit of touching up, but if I had left it back at the hotel, it wouldn't have been the end of the world. 

I much prefer a matte lip for the A/W months, and an extra bonus to these lipsticks, is they don't dry out your lips at all. They're actually pretty moisturising.

For £5.49, you cannot go wrong with these lipsticks. I'm now constantly choosing these over any of my others in my pretty large stash. Hopefully I'll be able to get my mitts on the other three shades in the matte collection soon.

Jacket - Charity shop/DIY

T-shirt  - c/o Orange Circle

Disco Pants - GlamorousUK (#Leedsbloggermeetup2012)

Boots - Ebay

This outfit has a pretty long history! 

Orange Circle very kindly sent me this T-shirt, but unfortunately it didn't get to me before I travelled down to London. After a couple of weeks, it turned out that I hadn't actually sent them my new address! Big whoops on my part!!! I honestly thought I had. But, luckily I managed to track the t-shirt down and it was sitting by its lonely self at the collection office.

Since I now have the T-shirt, I really wanted to show you what I would have worn. Like you may have seen, I did end up wearing one of my old battered shirts from OC anyway. 

The shirt jacket was taken with me down to London. I did plan on wearing it, but thanks to the lovely British weather, I felt it was a little too cold to wear it. 

I absolutely adore this outfit and as soon as I get the chance, I will be wearing it out. 

Liam has the next two weeks off work, so you never know, we may actually do something fancy. 

Hope you are all having a fab weekend!

G'Morning you beauties!

I thought I'd sport some of my DIY bits today. It felt right seeing as I am going to try and DIY some more stuff today. I'm not too sure what yet, but I feel like doing something productive. I may even pack up some more housey bits ready for the move. 

Also, sorry I'm wearing the exact same shoes as yesterdays post, I've already packed up my shoe collection. But, I'd probably usually wear my chunky heeled boots with this outfit. I still haven't managed to get my hands on a pair of creepers, which would also look great with something like this!! 

Man, I need a pair so bad!! Haha.

Glossybox January Review Week - Day Four

Hellloooo Lovelies!

Todays product is the FAB Gentle Body Wash, the sample size I received was 2oz which I thought was a good size. 

This body wash is unscented, which I find quite odd as I much prefer some kind of smell when I wash. It is an irritant-free everyday day cleanser and claims to relieve dry skin and dry redness.After using it for a little while I can say it really did help the dry skin on my knees. 

A full size bottle of this body wash sells for £13.00 which I personally think is a little pricey, but for someone in need of a product for sensitive skin. 

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream bb cream | blemish balm | boots | cream | face | face cream | garnier | pores | review | skin | skin perfector | skin tone | tone | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

Hi Lovelies!

    This may well be my last review of 2011!! Although I have a few planned out, so I could prove myself wrong.

    For the past couple of months, I've been seeing the advert for Garniers BB cream all over, so when I had the opportunity to request a sample, I did just that. I saw it as one of those products that I didn't want to just jump in and purchase, so I was quite chuffed to be able to try before I buy. 

    Garnier claims the cream immediately perfects skin, evens tone and gives you a boosted glow by blurring imperfections and smoothing fine lines. The cream also contains SPF15 and has 24hr hydrating qualities.

   The cream itself has an opaque colour and is quite thick, but when used it really blends well. It has a very smooth consistency and doesn't feel sticky. The sample I had been sent was in light and contained enough for two uses.

    As you can see by the photos above, this cream really makes a difference!! I am so impressed I have decided I will probably go and buy some now. I found the coverage nice and light, but it's also easily buildable enough for if you want a little more coverage in certain areas.
    In my opinion the BB cream really does what it says on the packaging. It definitely evened my skin tones, and filled in any fine lines, it even tackled my troublesome pores on my nose. I felt confident enough after using this, that I didn't even apply foundation afterwards.
    The only teeny tiny downfall I found was that it does leave you a little shiny, but that's easily fixed with a little setting powder.
     50ml of this product sells for £9.99 in Boots and I'm pretty sure that would last me a rather long time. If you would like to purchase some yourself you can visit the Boots website here.

Disclaimer- I requested this sample to review, all the my opinions are truthful and honest.

Hi Lovelies!

    Ages ago in one of my Youtube videos I mentioned this perfume I received it off of a friend for Christmas.  I told you guys I would show you the box and had completely forgotten until today. She admitted to me that she only bought it because of the pretty box and she had no idea whatsoever what it smelt like. Haha. Lucky for her it smells lovely. The scent is fresh and clean and reminds me of an early spring morning. 

This has even now replaced my old trusty CKin2U in my handbag.
