22 – A photograph of the part of you that you like the most

My hair is the part of me I like the most and get the most compliments on as its nice and thick and on a good day pretty shiny too :)

Until tomorrow,

11 days off and an Elf offer..

Like a lot of people I've now got 11 days off work thanks to the two bank holiday weekends and just 3 days of annual leave :) So excited at the thought of not setting my alarm for almost two weeks!

I'm just about to head out to get some food for a picnic tomorrow but before I do wanted to share the latest Elf offer that's just popped up in my inbox - £5 off when you spend £20 plus entry into a prize draw to win 10 studio matte eyeshadows - see the pic below for the codes and Happy Easter!

Until next time,

Blog Challenge - Day 21

21 – A photograph of the part of you that you dislike the most

I really struggled to hit the publish post button today as my teeth are a part of my body that I'm really self-conscious about. As you can see from the pic my front teeth are pretty crooked due to me having too many for the size of my mouth! (they removed 4 of them when I was younger but they're still cosy-ing up at the front there!) One of my front teeth also has a white mark called a hypoplasia on it where it was damaged whilst forming in my my gum. I've been contemplating with the idea of getting a brace fitted for years but always talk myself out of it so for now this grill (as American lovelies may call it!) is here to stay!

Until tomorrow,

20 – A band/artist not many people know of but you think they should

Cut//Copy are an electropop band from Australia. Their album 'In Ghost Colours' is amazing and I would definitely recommend checking them out.

Which bands or artists do you think deserve a spot in the limelight?

Until tomorrow,

Swatched: Sleek True Colour Lipstick in Fuchsia

A lunch hour purchase from Superdrug today. I was really excited to see that the Sleek stand had loads of the new shades of their True Colour lipsticks in stock....but not so excited that of the 16 or so colours there were just 3 testers! :( They cost £3.99 each...there was a 2 for £6 offer on but I wasn't keen on buying without trying so opted for just one in the shade Fuchsia - a stunning neon pink.

The range includes both matte and sheen finishes - Fucshia is the latter and so it takes a couple of layers to build the colour which once layered up looks like this.....

In addition its also lovely and moisturising so no need for balm underneath - here it is in action on my lips (excuse the scruffy application - I don't wear bright shades often and it shows!)

I'm absolutely in love with this lippie - its the perfect shade for summer and makes me smile as soon as I slick it on. I will definitely be picking up a few more of these once Superdrug sort 'tester-gate' out!

Until next time,

 

Blog Challenge - Day 19

19 – A photo of your handwriting

I'm so used to using computers for practically everything that I barely even know what my handwriting is like these days but here's the answer :)

Until tomorrow,

This week I've been....

Nailing a bargain by getting a bottle of Bourjois foundation for just £4! Boots are offering Healthy Mix for £6.99 at the mo and I got an extra £3 off using April's discount voucher from the booklet I mentioned in this post. I know its not mega-bucks but £6 isn't to be sniffed at! :)

Now I know that Primark jewellery isn't of the highest quality but I've worn this ring just twice and the gold colour has literally rubbed straight off so its now half silver :( I completely understand that you get what you pay for but only being able to wear something twice feels like a bit of a rip-off to me!

To cheer myself up from the aforementioned jewellery disaster I picked up some new earrings at the weekend - I love the pinky-coral colour of the Dotty P ones and the gold knot studs remind me of the jewellery my mum used to wear in the early 90s (in a good way of course!)

to Michael McIntyre's autobiography Life & Laughing. I bought this on audiobook download for the train ride to see my mum and spent most of the journey laughing out loud much to the amusement of people in my carriage. If you love Michael then you should definitely get this - its hilarious!

I tried this Dotty P's dress on a few weeks ago whilst visiting my my mum but was undecided about whether to get it so figured I'd have a think and buy it online.....only to find it was out of stock on the web and in all of my nearby stores. Naturally now I can't have it I need it! Booooooo!
