Twitterista!



I joined Twitter ages ago but only over the past few days, I've really gotten into it. I think it's spiralling into an addiction now! You should totally follow me, but I post A LOT...


I've had a little few "claims to fame" on my Twitter, here's a little list. I need to remind myself of them (and brag a teeny weeny bit!)


  • Duncan Bannatyne (Dragon's Den) followed me  & tweeted me (unfollowed a few weeks later, boo!)
  • Rhiannon Fish (April in Home & Away) followed me
  • Dan Ewing (Heath - mmmm- Home & Away) retweeted me
  • The Official Banker from Deal Or No Deal tweeted me
  • Rosanna Davison (daughter of Chris de Burgh) tweeted me
  • Lindsey Kelk (author of the I Heart.... books) tweeted me
  • Alex Reid (Katie Price's ex) is following me
  • Scott Cornwall (hairdresser dude) is following me
  • Matt Lucas (Little Britain) tweeted me
And a lot of really popular Youtubers have tweeted/are tweeting me :)

See you there!

I'm siiiiiick :(

When I get the flu, I get it bad! I've been sick for the past 2 days now and I just want to feel better... I've decided to treat myself (and my fiancé) and we've ordered Domino's pizza. I'm so hungry and I just feel crap and I've got girly cramps. I've been sleeping most of the day and watching movies until 6am. Crazy I know but I sleep a lot when I'm sick. Nothing usually helps me when I'm sick, I just wait for it to pass.

I hope I feel better soon (maybe after my food?), I hate being ill, and I hate being out when I'm ill because  I'm constantly grunting, coughing, sneezing, snorting and clearing my throat... Hahaha attractive I know XD

Cut crease eye make-up

If you know me, you'll know I'm a HUGE make-up addict. I love experimenting with make-up, trying new looks. I watch a lot of beauty gurus on YouTube, and from time to time, I'll recreate the look to see how I do.

This is the look I decided to recreate today:


Please note: The look is a bit more glittery in person,
I'm not sure why my camera didn't pick it all up!


I think I did a pretty good job and I might wear it for a big night out on the 17th :)

ELF "50% off" haul & reviews

Recently, ELF had a huge 50% off sale. I loved this as I was feeling down and needed a treat, so it was perfect timing (and I love any excuse to buy makeup!) So, instead of spending £32.50, I spent £16.25 (plus £3.95 for delivery).

Here's what I bought:

Studio Flawless Finish Foundation

Net weight: 0.8oz
Price: £6.50


This flawless foundation does exactly that; leaves my face looking flawless! The bottle is frosted glass, which I think gives a really classic look to it. The foundation has an SPF of 15 which is brilliant, and it's supposedly oil-free. It's dispensed using a pump, which I love, because you can control exactly how much product is needed. I use my MAC 190 to apply it, and it lasts all day on my skin. It's amazing for the price and I think it smells luscious! This product will definitely be a repurchase for me.

All Over Cover Stick

Net weight: 0.14oz
Price: £1.50


This is such a handy little thing to just have in your bag. It's great to use on problematic facial areas, as an eyeshadow base or just for flawless coverage. It smells like sugar orange, which is super lovely, and it's cheap too! My shade is Apricot Beige (fair) which suits me perfectly.

Studio Eyebrow Kit

Net weight: 0.07oz
Price: £3.50


The left side is a wax which defines and shapes the brows, and the powder on the right side is used to set them and fill them in. The kit comes with a double sided taklon brush, one side to shape the brows and the other side to fill them in. The inside of the lid includes a mirror, which is super handy if you're out on the go and need to touch up. The colour (dark) is perfect for me as I plan on dyeing my hair a "normal" colour soon (boo!) , probably a chestnut colour. Meanwhile, I just use the powder for my brows as I have pink hair and I don't want something too dark. It's great value for money and, as usual, the packaging is sleek and classic.

Studio Angled Eyeliner Brush

Price: £3.50


This is one of the best purchases I've ever made! It's a synthetic taklon brush and can be used with wet or dry products. The angled top means an easy and precise application of colour to the lashline. I use it with my ELF cream eyeliner in black and it looks so classical and sophisticated. It's definitely worth the price; so good, in fact, that I'd probably pay double!

Studio High Definition Powder

Net weight: 0.28oz
Price: £6.00


This white powder aims to create a "soft focus" effect to the face, and it really does just that! It covers fine lines, imperfections and gives a beautiful radiant complexion. Apply it after foundation for a look of perfection. It comes with a soft face puff and the sleek packaging is a huge bonus. It's more pricey than most ELF products, but it's worth it. Godsend!

Nail Polish

Net weight: 0.35oz
Price: £1.50

I absolutely love this nail polish. It's so vibrant, and didn't chip for quite a few days. Fabulous for a polish that only costs £1.50!

Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder

Net weight: 0.35oz
Price: £1.50


This is a pretty powder (in Sun Kissed) which is said to give a touch of sunshine to every complexion, for a natural glow. It contains some golden shimmer (which my camera didn't pick up), but I do think it's a bit too "glowy" for a full bronzer. I use a tiny bit on my cheeks to add a little glow and I also use it as an eyeshadow. Pretty!

Professional Concealer Brush

Price: £1.50


These brushes have been tested by a professional makeup artist so I really trust them. I use this with my All Over Cover Stick and it's amazing. I love this brush as it gives precise application and it's easy to mask imperfections.

Studio Matte Lip Colour

Net weight: 0.06oz
Price: £3.50


This is a beautiful lip pencil in a nice dusky pink colour (Natural). It's handy to keep in your bag so you can reapply as desired. The pencil twists up so you don't need to sharpen. It's a pigmented colour and it's so natural. It moisturises lips, which I love, as my lips tend to get dry but this has kept them moist, and dare I say it, kissable!

Mineral Lipstick

Net weight: 0.313oz
Price: £3.50


The colour I bought is Natural Nymph, which is a beautiful matt cream nude colour. (The elf website says it's a matt cream pink, but I personally think it's nude!). It's gorgeous, and an amazing dupe for MAC's Myth, which I also own. Obviously, the MAC lipstick is a bit more pigmented as it's more expensive (£13.50!!). Although MAC is expensive, the lipstick tends to leave my lips dry and flaky, but ELF's lipstick is moisturising and doesn't make my lips look dry. It glides on easily, last for ages and is 100% mineral based. Amazing product for an amazing price.
