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!
Those are my three favourites. I hate the smell of MAC Lipstick's but can't deny how much I love them! I switched up lip liners a lot, but if you have any recommendations let me know!





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.


Got fed up of waiting for retailers to make covers for my T-Mobile Pulse, so I decided to do a little DIY at 3 in the morning. Here are the results:
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!
