I WON!! I WON!! I WON!!

Hi everyone!
OMG!! I cant believe it!
Last night I had just turned my laptop off when I got a text message which I thought was a bit weird cause it was half 11 at night. Turned out it was a message from Twitter saying that I had a direct for TeamGleam. The message said that I'd won their top prize of £100 worth of Andrew Collinge hair products! I was in total shock so I quickly turned my laptop back on to check that it was true and not some kind of cruel joke.
IT WAS TRUE!!
There was a message asking me to DM them my email address so that they could get my prize sorted out!
I am so excited!

I entered the competition by retweeting a message on Twitter. I've retweeted so many of these things then totally forget all about them. Goes to show though that it's worth pressing that little button and retweeting the message cause you never know, you might just win!

Small Haul To Cheer Me Up

I've been feeling a bit rubbish the past couple of days so I thought a wee trip into town was in order to try cheer myself up. I was really wanting to try get my hands on one of the Nail Inc. and Diet Coke nail polishes too.
And I was successful!
When I went into Boots there was a whole shelf in the chiller devoted to Diet Coke, but it was empty! I thought I was out of luck so decided to settle for some flavoured water (go for the healthy option and all that) but when I got tills there was a little stand alone stand with some bottles and some nail polishes!! I quickly snapped up 2 bottles of coke and the New York polish, which was the 1 I'd had my eye on. I also picked up a copy of there magazine that's free to advantage card holders.


Then I went to Superdrug, I wanted to get 1 of the Sleek palettes and see if they had re-stocked their MUA stands. Once again I was in luck! I picked myself up a nice green MUA eyeshadow cause I'm wanting to try some green eye looks out. I also got the Sleek original palette and a Pink Cadillac pout polish. These are my first 2 Sleek purchases so I cant wait to use them! I also got a set of N.Y.C false eyelashes and a nail polish cause they were 2 for £3. And once again I picked up their free magazine.


Seen as I was feeling a bit down I decided that some chocolate was in order so I popped into the pound shop to see what they had. I picked up 2 big bars of Cadbury's caramel (I was once told 1 was never enough so always buy 2) and a Toblerone. More than enough to satisfied my chocolate cravings and cheer me up!
When I was in Adsa later doing a bit of shopping with my Mum I noticed that this weeks More magazine had been rolled back to only 80p. Bargain! So had to pick one of those bad boys up too!



NOTD - Purple and Sparkles!!


I was in Superdrug today (going to do a haul post next!) and got this sparkly N.Y.C nail polish. It's got tiny little bits of silver glitter in a clear polish with bigger bits of blue and pink glitter. I decided to team it with my purple Asda nail polish..... and this is the results!

NOTD - Nails Inc. Candy

This is the one of the polishes that were available with this month InStyle magazine. I decided to go for the purple colour cause I had other colours in my collection that were similar to the other 2 colours on offer.
I thought that the polish went on really well, it took 2 coats to get this look and then a top coat. I also think that it lasted really well so overall I'm very impressed!

Review: Rimmel's New 1-2-3 Looks Mascara

I got the new Rimmel mascara the other day whilst I was in Boots. I'd seen it advertised on TV but I wasn't overly impressed by it, surely you could just use less mascara rather than getting a gimmicky new product?!? But my mascara ran out and it was on offer for £5.99 (£2off) so I thought it couldn't hurt to try it out. Worse that will happen is I lose out on £5.99.


First of all I have to say I'm not overly keen on the packaging, its a bit fat and dumpy.

So the selling point of the product is that you can achieve 3 different looks with 1 mascara. You twist the top half of the tube to the number that you wanna use and away you go. I don't really get it though cause as far as I can see all that happens when you chose a different number is that there's more or less mascara on the wand.

Using the first setting it left quite a nice amount of mascara on my lashes and I was quite impressed. Today I tried it on number 2 and I felt that it made my lashes a little clump, so not so impressive.
I'm really bad for rubbing my eyes so I thought I would put it to the test and see how it held up. The results.... not very well.



I've not tried the mascara on the third setting but I'm not holding out much hope. I think it's definitely going to give me nice dark eyelashes but I can see it being quite clumpy.

For £5.99 its not a bad mascara but I don't think i would buy it again once it runs out.

NOTD - No.7 Poolside Blue


I got this polish with my £5off No.7 voucher from Boots. I let my boyfriend choice what colour I was going to get and he picked this gorgeous summery blue! It's one of their new colours and it dries unbelievably quickly. It only took 1 coat to get this colour, which I was really impressed with. I think this will look gorg on my toes once I crack out the summer sandals!
