Glamour magazines 10th Birthday!

Glamour Magazine are celebrating their 10th anniversary in this months issue and are also giving away mini Clinique products.
I as a subscriber was very excited about this and wondered what i would be getting in the post.
The mag came yesterday and although the postie nearly ripped the letterbox off trying to post it through i receive a little battered but still intact sample bottle of Clinique makeup remover with the April issue.

 i will use this and review later. I also received a flyer letting me know all the little products they are giving away which makes me want have them all especially would like to try the lip gloss and eye cream, damn it i want them all!
.
Looks like i will have to buy more issues :S

please let me know what  Clinique product you received with glamour :)

Home bargains haul

I nipped into Home Bargains the other day, for those of you who don't know what it is its a shop that sells stuff for a lot cheaper than you will find in supermarket etc.
My main reason for the visit was to purchase the girls aloud lashes that i posted about earlier but also to have a mooch around.
I wasn't disappointed, i picked up these...

lovely satin gem slippers with sparkly heart necklace also came with a shimmery bath gel
£2

patent bow pumps
£5.99
couldn't resist these

selection of girls aloud lashes
99p each

With bargains like this i couldn't resist especially the slipper,necklace and bath gel set,worth a visit if you have a store near you :)

Post of the week

This weeks post of the week has to be Meowcake she is one of my favourites, she gave me advice when i was thinking of starting a blog and is also a fellow big wardrobe member.
I love this post because i like haul posts anyway and i also like the items but most of all because she also does some really funny posts too.

Lush creamy candy bubble bar

Here is another lush review, this time for the creamy candy bubble bar.

I loved the smell of this particular bubble bar in the shop,it is soo sweet and scrummy.
 you only need half a bar if you live in a soft water area like me which is fab because it lasts longer.
you crumble it up into a running bath and the pressure of the water makes lots and lots of lovely soft bubbles,it also gives off the loveliest scent which lingers whilst you bathe.
The bubbles are soo soft and the butter in the bubble bar leaves your skin feeling super soft.



I finished off my bath time treat with the Lush coeur honeymooners massage bar.
this bar smells delish!
wiped over warm skin it gently melts into a really moisturising oil which you then rub in to your skin.
the cocoa in this bar reminds you of chocolate orange and really makes you want to eat  it.

I thoroughly recommend these two products especially if you love the sweet smells, enjoy!

eBay bargain boots

Remember a few posts back when i mentioned the stunning River Island boots



well, i was browsing eBay for something similar and found these


 for £16.98 with p&p included

I am really happy,they are almost identical yet a lot,lot cheaper.  yay! :P

Girls Aloud lashes @ home bargains

Just a little post to let you all know that you can get the lovely Girls Aloud lashes from home bargains stores at the moment for 99p

Including these cute Kimberley lashes with teeny feathers on

River island lovlies

I nipped in to today and saw these...


Even more stunning in the flesh but even at £25 down from £59 i still showed restraint




I absolutely love these but cant justify the £50 price tag even if they are down from £79, sob sob :(

Nice and easy hair dye review

I needed to dye my hair again so after trying it before and loving the results i bought the nice and easy hair dye again.
Being a natural darkish brown colour, last time i opted for a dark brown which turned out black but i loved it so i didn't mind. I buy the semi permanent ones as they are supposed to wash out in 28 washes but last a lot longer.
This time i opted for the medium brown and couldn't wait to try it.
It is soooo easy to use.....

• Apply the gloves
• Mix the products together
• Apply to hair
• Leave for 15/20 Min's
• Rinse off
• Apply the conditioner

20 minutes later i ended up with a rich dark brown that thanks to the nourishing conditioner left my hair so shiny,soft and smelling great.

I would thoroughly recommend this product, at £4 from Tesco or 2 for £6 it is a bargain and much, much cheaper than visiting the hairdressers but looks just as good.
Please bear in mind though that the colours do tend to come out a little darker than expected and make sure you do a patch test first as instructed.


Well done Clairol you get the thumbs up every time in my book :)

Lush its raining men shower gel review

I received the lush its raining men shower gel in a gift set and have tried it a few times,described as honey i washed the kids soap but as a shower gel.
It does small nice and sweet in a caramel/honey sort of way which i great for me because i love the sweet smelling lush products but it is also not too overpowering so doesn't small sickly.
A little goes a long way as it froths up really well and left my skin feeling soft.
It is a good shower gel which will last a while but it didn't give me anything extra that would make me buy it again. I have another brand toffee shower gel and to me it didn't seem very different to that I'm afraid.

Post of the week

Lush sugar babe scrub review

I know some of you may have seen a thousand lush reviews but i really enjoy doing them so here goes....



I used the sugar babe scrub today,to use you rub it lightly onto your skin,the water from the shower helps to break it up whilst you brush it all over your body,taking a little longer on areas you think needs exfoliating/massaging the most.
It broke up quite easily but not so easily that you couldn't cover your whole body.
I did find it a little abrasive but not overly so.
It smelt nice and i felt it did the job well.
I dont think you need to use a whole one and it would last longer if you wet it slightly then step out of the shower to rub on your body but hey i have another one on standby anyway!

I will use it again but i feel it is only needed say once a month :)

to come.... lush its raining men shower gel

Lush dreamtime bath melt review

I received this bath melt in a massive big wardrobe swap the other week, i left it to melt in the bath under the running water and it frothed up nicely,the sandalwood, jasmine, chamomile and ginger aroma was delicious.
once i got in the water felt sooo soft and creamy and there were little flowers floating around.



It really does take away the stresses of the day and the lavender lulls you making you ready for bed as soon as you step out of the tub.

I thoroughly recommend this product especially if you are feeling a little stressed to help you unwind and get a great nights sleep.

I will defiantly be using it again.
