NEW BLOG!
new bloggggg! i'm excited about it, I have a million ideas for posts on that one. Please follow it and we can be best friends... I might make posts here occasionally but most than often it'll be on that one.
THANKS! :)
Balenciaga
I'm lusting after the Balenciaga Weekender in Griege. Ignoring the fact it's long gone from any shop/website.
*Found this picture on google. It really shows how well the leather wears.
LOVING Thierry Mugler Alien right now, can anyone recommend anything else similar? Or with similar notes? I'm picky when it comes to perfume. If the packaging is anywhere near as beautiful as Alien then that would be a plus!
My Favourite Red's
Before I forget, i'm selling a few bits on ebay http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/shirleyvalentine1 I wasn't sure how to put a 'or best offer' part in, but message me if you want to make one.
I wear red lipstick a lot, so I thought I'd do a post on my three favourites.
From left to right: MAC Ruby Woo, Rimmel Lipstick in Alarm, MAC Dubbonet
- Ruby Woo is a matte finish, I know some people say it can be drying but I find if I put lip balm on right at the start of applying make-up, by the time it comes to applying lipstick I'm all set. This is my perfect lipstick for a night out. It's a true red and because it is so matte, it stays on all night and doesn't transfer, I love it!
- Rimmel Long Last Lipstick in Alarm is one I've been using for ages. It's really cheap, I actually bought 3 from e-bay a couple of months ago for £1 each! For me, this is a perfect everyday red, I don't wear it on a night out as I find it transfers easily. I find it similar to the finish of a MAC Amplified Cream. Great Red though and I use it with Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Liner in Red Dynamite.
- MAC Dubbonet is more a plum toned red, it's an Amplified Cream. It's nice to wear it for a change from the normal red's!
Stila Kajal
So after hearing EVERYONE rave about the Stila Kajal in Topaz, I decided to get it. The verdict? It's amazing. It definitely lives up to the hype. The formula is really creamy and the staying power is amazing. It's a light peach colour, so it really opens up the eye without looking fake like a white eyeliner sometimes can. I've been wearing it on my water line everyday since I got it with winger eyeliner on the lid. Pick it up if you can, you won't regret it.
DIY SOS.
Apologise for the terrifying quality photographs, I just used my web cam for time.
It worked out pretty well: I think. In case you're wondering the pearls are from an old necklace and I got the studs from e-bay a while ago.
Lush Love Lettuce Mask
Was putting on my Lush Love Lettuce Mask tonight and thought i'd do a little post about it.
I first bought the mask about 6 months ago and have bee repurchasing it ever since. It's not the nicest looking or smelling (especially if you're into really floral scents) but it's worth it.
I use it twice a week. If I just apply it, leave it for 5-10 minutes and then rinse off, it leaves my skin really soft, clean feeling and toned without feeling tight. The other time I use it, i'll work it into the skin, it has small particles so it's a good exfoliator as well! I tend to use it on a Sunday to battle the effects of alcohol! You can really see the difference after one use and I don't know where I'd be without it now.
Changes
This photograph and being slightly obsessed with Keeping up with the Kardashians makes me want to whip out the tan and dye my hair brown again!
Also, I have my Louboutins and I can't wear them because of the weather!!! They have no tread and it's literally like ice skating! UPSET!
V Magazine Shoot
Recently read about V Magazine's 'One Size Fits All' Shoot where they featured a Size 16 model next to a Size 0 Model. The plus size model is the beautiful Crystal Renn.
Personally, I can't decide how I feel about the photographs. The work is beautiful, the models are stunning and I enjoy the styling but I can't justify calling Crystal Renn plus size.
What do you think?
Sex and the City 2 `
If you're reading this blog then i'm sure you'll want to see this!
Sex and the City 2!!
Heres the link for the trailer!
FINALLY!
After about a year of lusting after them, realising I couldn't afford them and then not being able to get them ANYWHERE. I finally FINALLY got them.
Christian Louboutin Ariella Studded Boots
I honestly think it will get to the point where my friends will beg me to take them off. It's true love.
Purse Killer #2
I've loved the ACNE Atacoma Wedges for what feels like a decade but I'm truly in love with their 2010 Special Edition Gun Metal Grey Version.
£415 ACNE Shop
LOVEFEST.
I'll never wear it and it's not something I would usually love.
But I want it so much!
ignore the hideous photography/editing/styling.

Lush
I've been really into Lush these days and can't seem to walk past it without buying a couple of things! I would post a picture but, lets face it, you've seen them all before! 
In the last few weeks I've picked up: Smitten Hand Cream, the Sugar Scrub and Sugar babe, Tea Tree Toner, So White Bath Bomb, Vanilla Fountain Bath Bomb and finally Big Shampoo.
I can't decide if I like the Shampoo!
I feel like it really strips the hair of product build up, so maybe it would be better to alternate with a more gentle shampoo. Let me know if you have any tips, or anything else I NEED to buy from Lush! :)
P.s. As you may know, every time you take back 5 little black pots to Lush, you get a free fresh face mask. So let me know which ones you like cause I have loads to take back!
MAC Harmony Blush
After seeing pixi2woo on YouTube (who I love!) use MAC Harmony Blush to contour in every single video, I decided I need to get it. I picked it up about two weeks ago and have used it every day since then. Harmony is a matte powder blush which is a yellow toned brown.
I think it gives a much more natural contour than bronzer does and being pale skinned sometimes bronzer can look too harsh. Harmony gives a natural shadow underneath the cheekbone and jawline. I use it on a MAC 150 to hit those points and I love it!
Shoe and Tell
Cheesiest post title ever. Loves it.
Just a couple of beauties I bought the other week.
New Look; £35 and £30.
Also, a trip to my local Superdrug (which was originally only to check if they stocked Sleek Make-up yet) turned into me buying a few bits that I do not need!
Eyeko tinted cream, Barry M Gold Liner, Barry M Dazzle Dusts in 33, 32 and 88. Beauty UK Palette, Neautrogena Wave and refills, Gosh Darling.
perfect outfit
Although I do mix it up alot, this is a good example of my daily outfits. Although i'm not trying to tell you every item I own is designer.
blingtastic
I'm a little bit in love with this bracelet, it's a beauty. It would go perfect with my imaginary Balmain wardrobe.
