LUSH - Golden Wonder

Hey dollz! On my recent shopping trip to Westfields (I’m going again on Saturday!) I popped into LUSH to grab myself a Dragons Egg, you can read my full post on this gorgeous bath bomb HERE.

The SA also made me get this new Christmas bath bomb; Golden Wonder. I love that it already looks like a little present itself and it kind of was, a little present from me to me. I was sold on the fact it had glitter in it (just like my beloved Dragons Egg) and the promise of stars pouring out of it! I was a little bit disappointed that the stars didn’t hang around a bit longer, they dissolved. This bath bomb fizzes into action immediately, the gold quickly turned to blue then to green with a gorgeous fine glitter shot through it.

Look at the pretty stars and goldness - Ahhhhh

Nothing like a good soak to wash the day away!

I wallowed in it like the beast I am, sucking up the fresh orangey/limey smell, relaxing with a good book. This was short lived, for those of you that have been with me for a while will know that my other half is a bit partial to a LUSH bath too. He took one look at my golden green bath with floating stars and stripped naked, plunging his size 12’s into my bath. Which was now ‘our bath’. What Joy! =D

One tip I do have for you though to avoid a royal rollicking like me, make sure you wash the bath out after, we both forgot (which of course was my fault) and had to put some serious elbow grease into cleaning the damn thing.

Pick one of these up ASAP before they go out of stock because they are seriously good. I still have my Dragons Egg for this weekend. Fingers crossed Darren ♥ is at work!

You can buy Golden Wonder from LUSH HERE.

Did we all have a good weekend? Mine was just amazing, I had the hangover from hell yesterday but had such a good night on Saturday!

Laurens Way Re-Launch Event - PIC HEACY

Hey guys and gals! If you follow me on Twitter you will know that I went along to the Laurens Way re launch event on Wednesday night. Laurens Way has now bought out hair extensions, eyelashes and a few new tanning products. They’ve also refreshed the packaging, but it’s still the same fab product inside!

I was so excited about going; I love me a bit of TOWIE and was so excited that I was going to meet Lauren. The programme really doesn’t do that much for her though, she’s so lovely and very slim. The papers are so horrible too!

The girls

Natalie, Emma and Moi

Laurens Way

I picked up a bottle of Laurens Way tanning mousse and lotion a couple of months back. I gave the mousse a go but really didn’t use it properly I didn’t leave it long enough after shaving so I got a bit of a nasty rash from it. On Tuesday night whilst Darren was losing on Modern Warfare 3 (haha) I gave the lotion a go. It is love! I love it so much and I swear I’m getting browner as the day goes on. It’s such a natural shade of brown.

The event was held at Jewel bar at Piccadilly so arranged to meet Emma outside, Natalie turned up about 5 minutes later. We had a chat outside and laughed at the paps waiting for that photo opportunity, they must have been gutted because Lauren Goodger was already inside supping Champers! It was so weird seeing her in the flesh, she sounds exactly the same (obvs), and I will admit I was a little start stuck.

Inside Laura and Lauren were already there, we had our names ticked off the checklist then had some photos against the Laurens Way logo. Charli turned up just in time for photos. We found ourselves a table and chatted the night away. Nev came over and introduced himself, he’s Lauren Goodgers business partner. He had Glam Tan on himself. Later on there was an opportunity for a photo with Lauren. We were also rubbing shoulders with a few other Celebs Nicola T, Tony Mortimer from E17 and some woman from Loose Women, I forget her name.

Drinks were free for a while with people slopping off here and there. The three musketeers (myself, Natalie and Charli) were the last ones to leave. We parted company outside and I made my merry way home.

The goods!

Thank you girls for a fantastic evening!

I was lucky enough to grab 2 goodie bags, which had the Mousse, Instant Glow, eyelashes and bracelet in. I will do a full blogpost on the tan when this application has faded, I may even treat you to a You Tube video!

Lest we Forget

The news is spread far and wide
Another comrade has sadly died
A sunset vigil upon the sand
As a soldier leaves this foreign land

 We stand alone, and yet as one
In the fading light of a setting sun
We’ve all gathered to say goodbye
To our fallen comrade who’s set to fly
The eulogy’s read about their life
Sometimes with words from pals or wife
We all know when the CO’s done
What kind of soldier they’d become
The padre then calls us all to pray
The bugler has Last Post to play
The cannon roars and belches flame
We will recall, with pride, their name

A minute’s silence stood in place
As tears roll down the hardest face
deafening silence fills the air
With each of us in personal prayer
Reveille sounds and the parade is done
The hero remembered, forgotten by none
They leave to start the journey back
In a coffin draped in the Union Jack

We Will Remember Them!

NOTD - Wellington Street - Nails Inc



Hello guys and gals! There’s not that much to say about this colour, you all know how much I love my Nails Inc polishes. Faye ♥ bought this for me in a gift set a while back, I blogged about it HERE.

It’s a really pretty pink, a full on Barbie pink. So easy to wear I love it! Two coats is all it takes for it to be opaque finished off with the HG of topcoats Seche Vite!

The photo with the flash off you can see it has undertones of blue in it making it look almost purple, it’s not the true colour. It’s as bright as they come baby!

Real Techniques - Core Collection brush set

Girlies! Let me start by saying you need these brushes! I bought the starter set (blue handled pack) about 2 months ago and can say that I honestly use a couple of the brushes everyday. The Deluxe crease brush is amazing for concealing under the eyes and the base shadow brush is nice for applying a wash of colour.

Back to the brushes.

Real Techniques brushes are designed by Samantha Chapman of Pixiwoo fame, Sam is also a Make up Artist in her own right and between her and her sister Nic they have 30 years experience in the make up industry. Nic took a back seat with this project because she knew she would be starting a family (Harry is just gorgeous) so left Sam to get on with this by herself.

The whole range of brushes are made with taklon synthetic bristles, each hand cut and 100% cruelty free which I know from watching Sam’s videos on You Tube is a top priority to her.

This set comprises of:

Detailer brush – this brush is slightly angled at the top perfect for intricate work, I have also used this for applying lipstick

Contour brush – before owning this brush I was using a MAC 109 wondering why I could never get my cheekbones to go BAM, now they do, love this brush

Buffing brush – I used this in my latest video on You Tube, buffing Chanel Pro Lumiere into the skin like a dream. This could also be used for powder.

Pointed Foundation Brush – I use this brush for applying highlight to the tops of my cheekbones and outer eye area. To date I haven’t yet used it for foundation, only because I am always in a rush in the mornings and need a man sized brush to get the job done! Haha

Left to right Contour Brush, Pointed Foundation Brush, Detailer Brush and Buffing Brush

As with any Real Techniques brush sets this comes with a panoramic brush case which doubles as stand also. Each brush has a flat bottom which makes perfect for standing on the table whilst you apply your make up. I find the bigger brushes stand up perfectly however the detailer brush, accent brush and pixel point brushes (last two from blue starter kit) don’t stand with ease.

You will not regret buying these brushes, my master plan is to have every single one in my collection. If I could put a request into Real Techniques it would be to make the deluxe crease brush from the blue Starter Kit available to buy on it’s own it really is a beauty.

I bought mine from Love-Makeup for £20.99, there is a delivery charge of £2.95 in the UK. The delivery may I add is super speedy.

EDIT
I forgot to say how they wash! I wash my brushes in baby shampoo and will say Real Techniques brushes look like brand new once washed, with no shedding at all! Do you think I like them? ;p

Go on…….treat yourself!!
