Daily Lust - Friday 26th February

Hi you lovely lot,
So glad so many of you have entered my giveaway. By the way I will be trying out the tips you give me to see which one is the best!! Get entering if you haven't already!! On to the small selection of the large amount of things I want to be buying!!





Beauty Product:

Every time I see Collection 2000's pigments 'Dazzle Me' I always love the look of them; especially this Paradise colour. However when I go to pick one up, it's usually only half full... does anyone else have this problem?? Anyway I'm probably going to have a look tomorrow when I go into town and see if I can buy a couple. You can buy these from Boots or Superdrug for around £3!







Item of Clothing:



I've been looking for a while now for a perfect LBD for going clubbing or just for a few drinks or a nice meal. I like this Miss Selfridge wonder because it is quite simple with just the shoulder detailing and I love that it would be very figure hugging and sexy but classy at the same time. I need a piece like this in my wardrobe and I have a good mind to buy it now and for it to be my inspiration to lose more weight!! This is £38, but I think an investment piece that will last you!









Accessory/Jewellery:


I love this belt. It is one of those staple items for your wardrobe to cinch in floral dresses, denim dresses, black dresses etc and give them a bit of a folky edge! This is from New Look for £7!






Shoe:

It's official... the buyers at New Look are gods!! They keep coming up with items that astound me - especially their price-tag! These gorgeous wedges will look fabulous with Spring/Summer's key trends of florals, denim, nautical... you name it, they will go with it and give it a fashiony twist all of it's own! What more could you ask for at £25?!








Total Cost = £74
So there you have it, a cherry picked selection of what I wish I owned but at this moment in time do not! I am trying, I think, to save some money... I'll let you know how that works out!!
Now that I seem to have my camera up and running I will try and take some pictures of hauls so you can see what I actually do end up buying!!
Anyway, keep entering, commenting, following and all that lovely stuff. I love you all for doing it!
Have lovely (and hopefully shopping-filled) Saturdays. Let me know what you are getting up to!

Daily Lust - Tuesday 23rd February

Hi everyone!

So close to 50 followers now, thank you all! I have bought all my giveaway prizes but am keeping hush-hush about what they are!!


Anyway, so after a very crap few days at work and the start of another attempt at losing about 2 stone here is what I want to buy!!




Beauty Product:

So I have been getting so excited about the prospect of getting my hands on this palette which was supposed to be in Boots stores as of today. I look on frontcovercosmetics.com to look at which stores were stocking and my local wasn't. So I persuaded my mum to go to the Bluewater store to get it, to no avail!! Bluewater hadn't got their stock in yet and told her to go back tomorrow! Have you got yours yet? This is £15 for a limited time!





Item of Clothing:



This jumper just really captures the fairy-tale vibe that is going on at the moment what with the Alice in Wonderland film. It says 'Fairest of Them All' which I think it so cute. This would look gorgeous with a grey blazer or black leather jacket over a white vest top and skinny jeans. It's £18 (I think but their site won't let me check at the moment!) from New Look!







Accessory/Jewellery:



I love little cute scarfs at the moment that you can team with a boring outfit you've worn hundreds of times to just freshen it up. This scarf is exactly that item. I love the pinky/red colour, the cute white hearts and the way you can tie it as a neckerchief to look French chic!! It's from the wonderful Miss Selfridge and is £10!








Shoe:



For some reason I love flat shoes with peep-toes. Don't ask me why but I think they look really quirky and cute on the end of skinny jeans or a pretty dress. These are perfect with their fabulous polkadot print and the monochrome is bang on trend for the moment. These are £24.99 from Schuh!






Total Cost = £67.99

Thanks everyone for reading, commenting and following. If I reach 50 tonight or tomorrow my giveaway will be up tomorrow evening. I just need to find my charger for my camera or nick someone else's camera to take a picture of the prize!

Anyway, hope you had lovely days. Did you go shopping? If you did, what did you buy? Make me jealous!!

Daily Lust - Sunday 21st February

God how quickly has this weekend gone?

I hate Sunday evenings, so I am trying to distract myself by pretend-buying stuff. Here are the things I am really liking so far!



Beauty Product:
I recently re-discovered the brand Miners which I'm sure used to be out when I was younger?? Anyway, I think they're a brand for young teenagers and most of the stuff on their website miners.co.uk is a bit too young for me but their nail varnishes are in really nice colours. This is one of my faves... called Coral Cutie and exactly the shade I have been looking for. And at £2.99! Yay!







Item of Clothing:


The nautical trend is one of my favourites of the moment and just suits my personality. I love this cute top with the collaboration of nautical stripes and the lace top I think it is really different. This top would look so gorgeous with dark blue skinny jeans, a cream or grey blazer and navy pumps. This is from New Look and is £16!







Accessory/Jewellery:




I really like these earrings and think they would be perfect for the summer. I can imagine these with just a really simple outfit like some linen trousers and a colourful vest top just to give the outfit some interest. The detail on them is so pretty!! These are from the amazing asos.com and are £10!





Shoe:


These sandals are so gorgeous and would look amazing with really skinny jeans. I love the colour and the side lace-up detailing. I think these will be brilliant sandals to wear when it is almost sandal weather, as it is sort of enclosed on the ankle and therefore looks more heavy. They are from oli.co.uk for £35!










Total Cost = £63.50

Thanks guys, hope you've had good weekends - I am so not looking forward to this week but I've just got to think of the money (and the clothes and makeup I can buy with it!!)
Comment of what you think on these things and if you bought anything nice at the weekend I would love to know!!

Daily Lust - Saturday 20th February

Hey everyone,

There are definitely a lot of items of lust-worthy status at the moment!! Here are just a few!






Beauty Product:







So this perfume is gorgeous! It's Hugo Boss Femme. I tried it today whilst I was browsing round the shops and I love it!! It's a smell I can't necessarily describe but trust me, it's beautiful. The bottle is so cute as well! I found this on fragrancedirect.co.uk for £22.35 for 30ml.







Item of Clothing:


I think this dress is so cute! I love the duck-egg blue and the gorgeous floral pattern as well as the sweetheart neckline and the ruching all over the dress. This will be perfect for nights out in Spring/Summer. This is from Rare @ Topshop and is £45... a real investment piece!








Accessory/Jewellery:



I am loving these cute studs. The coral colour is going to be massive in Spring/Summer and I have a huge penchant for bows... anything with bows and I'm sold. You can get these from Topshop for £5!






Shoe:


I love these gorgeous shoes! They're very Vivienne Westwood-esque and even better, for a fraction of the price!! The colour will look amazing with jeans for a casual look or a cute prom dress on a night out. They are from Accessorize and cost £22!







Total Cost = £94.35

Thanks everyone,

Hope you have enjoyed reading this. Please comment to let me know what you think!!

Quick Quick Mini Haul!!

Hi guys,
This is a collective haul of a few things I've bought over the week. Working in the town centre is never a good thing as in my lunchbreak I just 'pop' into Superdrug or Boots and end up spending a fortune. The other day though I realised that I have basically bought the entire shop!! Anyway on with haul....
  • Rimmel Colour Rush Mono Eyeshadow in 030 Smokey Quartz
  • Rimmel Colour Rush Mono Eyeshadow in 130 Tribute
  • Rimmel Colour Mousse in 005 Glitz
  • Natural Collection Lipstick in Raspberry
  • Natural Collection Eyeshadow in White Opal
  • Natural Collection Eyeshadow in Spring Green
  • Natural Collection Eyeshadow in Soft Pink
  • 17 Eyeshadow in Statuesque
  • Barry M Dazzle Dust in No 39 Tan
  • Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in No 108 Pink Pearl

So there you have it... I am a Makeupaholic!!

Ooh and in other more exciting news I have got my contest prizes. None of it is Mac as I don't even own any and haven't got that much money to be honest but all are products that I've either got or think are really nice... so hopefully you will too!!

Love you lots and have nice evenings,

Frances xx

Review - Collection 2000 Blush - No 3 Breathless


Some more reviews of my ever increasing beauty buys now!!

So this is the blush that I bought from Collection 2000. I can't quite remember how much it cost but I think it was between £3 and £4. I really liked the peachy colour of this blush and I think that it is quite good for an everyday blush where you want a hint of colour.

The main problem with this blush is the fact that it is not very pigmented and if you wanted a lot of colour you would need to pile it on (which I don't)

So the summary is it's a lovely colour but doesn't give great colour pay-off. I would recommend buying if you just want a really light blush look.

Daily Lust - Friday 19th February

Hello everyone,

Just finished watching Eastenders, not overly impressed I have to say!! Anyway here are the items I am lusting after...






Beauty Product:





I watched a video by FilthyGorgeousMakeup on Youtube where she recommended these Rimmel Colour Rush Metallic Shadows. She used the one in Tribute which is such a gorgeous colour I want it now!! You can get it at Superdrug or Boots for about £4!




Here's the link to the video:






Item of Clothing:


It is getting to that time of the year where I realise that I cannot keep wearing my winter coat for much longer. But yes, I think this beauty from good old New Look would be the perfect spring/summer fix. And at £35 I don't think it's too bad! I love the full skirt and the ruched sleeves!!








Accessory/Jewellery:




I love this bag. I think it looks really vintage and worn and could be used for any occasion to just give a ' This is from a charity shop - but isn't it amazing?' look to any outfit. If you want it, it's from Topshop for £35!








Shoe:



I think these shoes are amazing! They would look so great with skinny jeans or jeggings tucked in or with summer dresses to give them an edgy look. These are from Marks and Spencers for £39.50 and are definitely worth getting as they are bang on trend!










Total Cost = £113.50
Ooh I spent a lot of imaginary money there!
Have lovely Saturdays... I'm going out to buy prizes for my up-and-coming giveaway and also probably will treat myself too!
See you soon

So So Tired!!

Hi Guys,
Looks like this week has really worn me out... I was just about to do a Daily Lust post and must have nodded off only to be awoken 2 hours later and it be half 11! So sorry guys, will definitely make it up by posting loads and loads over the weekend!!
Enjoy your Fridays, love you all lots,

Maybelline Eye Studio Mono - No 720 Iced Fudge

Hello again!
There is no actual picture that I can put on here so follow this link to see the colour!
I wasn't sure about this eyeshadow at first but I did love the look of the colour. I wasn't sure how pigmented it is but I tried it out yesterday and it was really pigmented and lovely... and stayed on all day with the help of my Gosh Eyeshadow Stick. It is a sort of taupe/brown with a hint of metallic in it. It is great for daywear but I think it would also look great in the crease of the eye for a smokey look.
This costs £3.99 and I would definitely recommend it!
Frances xx

Review - Sleek Storm Palette

Another Sleek product for you!!

( pic from loveafrocosmetics.com)

What an amazing product... I don't know anyone who doesn't like this. It is so wearable... probably the most wearable palette of all of the Sleek palettes. I love the brown colours in this and the greyish/blue colour is so gorgeous too. This is a really versatile palette that could be worn in the daytime for a work or school neutral look and also for a gorgeous smokey eyed night look! This is one palette you could take with you on a week away on holiday and have a different look every day and night. All this for just over £4! How Perfect!

Review - Sleek Inkpots

Hi again,


Some more reviews for you now!!

This is the Sleek Ink Pot which is Sleek's version of a gel eyeliner which comes in loads of colours. I have Espresso (which is black) and Purple Rain (obviously purple).

I am in absolute love with this product. It comes in a little pot as shown above and with the little brush which is really good for applying the eyeliner. I am a complete Gel Eyeliner convert after trying this as it looks fabulous and stays put better than any other eyeliner I have ever tried. It gives just as good definition as a liquid liner but is so much easier to apply. For a new starter to makeup I would definitely recommend this, and you don't get the awful smudging that you do with kohl liner.

I can't say enough good things about this product. I can't remember exactly how much it is... somewhere around £3-£4, and is so so worth it, pick up one in every colour!!

Have you tried this? Do you like it?

Frances xx

Daily Lust - Wednesday 17th February

Hi everyone,


Hope you had a lovely day... I can smell the weekend!! Here is what my diminishing bank balance cannot pay for, but what I would like...






Beauty Product:




I love this whole collection of Nail Polishes by Ciate for asos.com. They are all named after celebrities and this particular cherry red colour is named Katy (I'm guessing after Katy Perry). I love the colour, I love the packaging and I don't think the price is too bad at £6.






Item of Clothing:


I know Topshop are always pretty good but at the moment it seems like I want to buy their entire stock. This beautiful skirt is one thing I picked out. I love the nude background with the stunning black flower detail and think this is such a wearable take on the nude trend. I would probably put this with a denim shirt and wedges to give it a tough edge. At £40 it's quite expensive but in my eyes a perfect summer investment.






Accessory/Jewellery:




I am an absolute sucker for kitsch and cute jewellery and this birdcage necklace is by no means an exception. I love the bird (obviously) and the cage and I also love the pink bow. This would set off a plain and simple daytime outfit and give it a cute edge. Personally I think this would look great with a plain white vest top and a pink boyfriend cardi to give it a bit of oomph. This is from awear.com and costs £10.






Shoe:



I am so in love with these gorgeous shoes. The white lace detail is just amazing and would look great teamed with summer dresses for a girly/preppy look!! They look so beautiful and look like they would cost a lot but they are actually such a bargain at £18 from Topshop!

Total Cost = £74

Thanks guys for reading... also thank you for following and commenting. It makes me very very happy when you do! It's definitely putting a much needed smile on my face over the past few weeks so thank you and love you all lots!

Review - Maxfactor False Lash Effect Mascara

Hi again,


So I have really stubby eyelashes that don't like to curl. I have tried many a drugstore mascara; Collection 2000, Maybelline, Bourjois etc etc and they were all really good but none made my eyes stand out for a night out. This mascara has just become my Holy Grail for nights out.
I have been exceptionally boring lately and barely been on any nights out but the couple of occasions that I have dragged myself out of my bed and away from this laptop this mascara has lengthened my lashes, made them thicker and just so much more volumised. I can't rave about this enough and would recommend it for anyone to try. The only thing I would stress is that I feel this mascara is a bit too much for daywear - especially if you are at work or school or whatever and is best saved for those occasions where you want your eyes to really be noticed.
I bought this for £10.99 at Superdrug

Review - The Body Shop Coconut Lip Butter

Hi everyone,




So I'm going to do a few more reviews now as I've got a bit of time on my hands!

So anyway a few weeks ago I had just had a cold and my lips were really chapped and disgusting. I was desperate for some moisture for them. Enter Body Shop!


So I love this lip butter. It did help moisturise my lips but the main reason I love it is the smell! I am addicted to it and actually really enjoy applying it for this very reason, and I have the added excuse of the fact it is helping my lips! I did still buy Carmex lipbalm for ultimate moisturisation but this one is a nicer smelling (and tasting!) option for those of you who want to maintain your lips if they are already in reasonable condition. This retails at £5.

Hope this was helpful,

Frances xx

Daily Lust - Tuesday 16th February

Hi everyone,

Yay!! I'm so happy 30 followers... I am definitely getting there and so grateful to you lot... love you all :)
Anyway... on to the lusting!!



Beauty Product:


For my birthday in November one of my lovely friends got me a Frontcover palette in Inky Eyes and I absolutely love it!! Then I heard via people of Youtube and blogs that the brand was bringing out an all year round collection in Boots and I believe that it comes out in a week or so. Anyway I had a sneaky look on their website and I am in love with this palette which is called Mermaid Dreams! It's going to be £25 and the website says "mermaid meets peacock"... I'm in love!!







Item of Clothing:



I love to have a cosy hoodie to wear in the Spring/Summer months which is warm for when it is (undoubtedly in this country) cold and pouring with rain but which is also bright enough to make it look summery. This is the perfect item, I love the colour and the cute slogan on it, it's just gorgeous and would look so nice with dark blue skinny jeans. This is really reasonable at £19.99 from Candy Couture @ Republic!







Accessory/Jewellery:


I have decided that this summer I will wear a hat. I can see me wearing this cute take on a straw cowboy hat with an oversized denim shirt and gladiator sandals! I just love this, I think it's the pink and the chiffon flower. It's £10 from my shop of the moment New Look!




Shoe:

I love the detailing on these sandals, it makes what would be a really plain sandal a lot more interesting and something you could wear on a night out on a hot balmy night ( I wish!) I think these would be really good for the tribal trend which is coming in Spring/Summer. These are also from New Look and are £25

Total Cost = £79.99

Anyway, thank you for reading, following and commenting please pleeeeaaasssee keep it up!

Daily Lust - Monday 15th February

Hi everyone!
Thank God that day is over! I hope you had lovely weekends and a good start to this new week! Here are the things that I really wish would magic themselves into my life with no parting of my cash involved!!



Beauty Product:



I don't know about you but I tend to decide to paint my nails at the most inconvenient of times and then have to try really hard not to smudge them whilst they dry. This is why this Nail Experts Liquid Freeze Quick Dry Spray from Avon appeals to me so much. It claims to "spray dry nails in a flash" and if it's as good as it looks it could just be my saviour in bottle form. I definitely will be giving this a try and at £3 can you blame me?







Item of Clothing:


I think this dress was made with me in mind! It is so me, I love it so much! I love the stripe detail but then the floral scattered pattern making it more feminine. The colours of the florals in pinks and reds and corals are just so pretty against the navy and white background... this is just the perfect summer dress! I would wear this with a baby pink boyfriend cardigan and navy pumps for a very girly look. This beauty is from Miss Selfridge and will set you back £32!










Accessory/Jewellery:


Denim is going to be in a huge way this Spring/Summer and I think this little headband is such a cute take on the trend. It's pretty pricey at £16 but I think it is so pretty and would look gorgeous teamed with a denim shirt dress or some acid wash jeggings for a Trailer Trash chic look!!
If you want this beautiful piece head to Topshop!






Shoe:

I am really needing a good pair of nude heels to team with dresses on nights out so that my legs will look longer. I think I have found just the pair. These are so perfect with not too high a heel, a lovely patent finish and a really flattering round toe. These are from Tesco and at £12 they are a must-have!











Total Cost = £63

Thanks everyone, and thank you for all your great comments, keep them coming especially on your favourite drugstore makeup item!

Love you all lots,

Frances xx

Your Favourite Drugstore Product

Hi everyone,
As you may have already guessed I am totally obsessed with buying makeup. I was just thinking about what else to buy and thought it would be really good if you could comment below on this post and let me know your favourite drugstore product (or more than one if you can't decide) so that next time I go into Superdrug or Boots I won't be aimlessly wandering around wondering if something is good or not... I will have your recommendations!!
So if you could please comment under this post telling me what it is and just quickly why you love it I would appreciate it so much!! Also if you're not from the UK let me know yours too so I can get jealous and wish I lived somewhere else where I could buy this makeup!!

Thanks guys and thank you for following, I love you all!

Review - NYC Ultra Last LipWear

Hi everyone,
So I've got a fair few of these lipsticks from NYC so I'm just going to do a general review on the product.



So this lipstick is really inexpensive... as far as I remember it was about £2.50. I swatched them on the back of my hand in the shop and they were really smooth and creamy, hence why I got so many!
I have to say I love these lipsticks. The colours are fabulous; very pigmented but not too overpowering. My personal favourite colours are Fragile Pink and Snowcone which are both really subtle pinks that go with an everyday look really well and are more wearable for me than a nude lip.
The lipstick is also reasonably long lasting and I would say it compares favourably to some of the more expensive drugstore lipsticks with its lasting power.
The only con to this lipstick is the packaging. The lid is square and a see through plastic and I seem to always make a mess when putting the lid back on the lipstick. And because it's see through it looks really battered and horrible. But for £2.50 I suppose the packaging isn't going to be brilliant.
Anyway I really recommend these lipsticks to anyone who just wants a cheap everyday lipstick. You might even find you really get to love it!!

Review - Sleek Eye Dust - Green with Envy

Hi everyone,
I'm really going to try and get through my reviews in the next few days. I would appreciate it loads if you've bought any of these items to comment on my post and say whether you agree with me or not cos I just find that kind of thing interesting!! Anyway, on with the review!
Grr I can't show you the colour of this Eye Dust as the Sleek Website is down but anyway it is just a mossy green type colour... if you google it you may be able to find it but if not I will try and find the charger for my camera and take a pic if you so wish!
This review basically goes for all of the colours though as I have swatched a lot of them and they all seem amazing! What I really love about these is the amazing colour payoff, you really don't need to use much product to get a striking effect.
I applied this eye dust over a base (I used the Gosh eyeshadow stick in Love That Champagne!) so that it sticks. I also applied it wet to give a more metallic feel. I have an eyeshadow brush which I specifically use for wet applications
These Eye dusts are really cheap... I think between £2-£3 and are bigger in size than the Barry M Dazzle Dusts so you definitely get more for your money. I actually have nothing bad to say about this product, or in fact Sleek as a brand in general. I just love it and I'm so glad I ventured out from my favourite drugstore brands to give this one a go!


Have you tried any of Sleek's Eyedusts? Do you prefer them to Barry M Dazzledusts or another brand? Let me know!
Frances xx

Oh dear! It was Valentine's Day and I was depressed so I bought makeup!!

Hi guys,
The above is the excuse I'm sticking to about my haul today! If you are single today you will know what a huge slap in the face this day is! Don't get me wrong I am really happy for everyone who's in a relationship, and to be completely honest not entirely sure that I want one myself but around Christmas time, and this dreaded day I start to feel a tad desperate! I wouldn't be surprised if you saw me on the next series of Take Me Out!!
Anyway, to get to the actual point of this post I justified in my head that I did not buy an expensive present for a boyfriend so therefore could go and spend a bit of money on completely unneeded and impulse makeup purchases! Here was the result...
  • Natural Collection Blushed Cheeks - Dusky Pink
  • Natural Collection Lipstick - Caramel
  • Natural Collection Lipstick - Pink Orchid
  • Natural Collection Duo Eyeshadow - Mink/Sable
  • 17 Fast Finish Nail Polish - Baked Cherry
  • NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamel - Pink Promenade Creme
  • Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush - No 7 Peach Satin
  • Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation - No 201 Classic Beige
  • Barry M Dazzledusts - No 14 Khaki & No 88 Winterberry
  • Sleek Ink Pot - Espresso

So yes I know it's not big or clever and I should be ashamed of myself... but now I'm going to do a few reviews and will eventually probably get so tired of reviewing all my products that I will never buy anymore... actually probably not!!

Anyway for those of you who aren't quite as cynical as me hope you are having a lovely Valentines. I'm going round my friends and we're going to celebrate being single with a takeaway and a good dose of Gerard Butler... which is enough to put a smile on anyone's face!!

Daily Lust - Saturday 13th February

Hi everyone,


Sorry I didn't post yesterday but on to the things I want to buy today!!!




Beauty Product:



So I have decided... I need a primer. My foundation is ok but I need a smooth base before I put it on as my skin is far from perfect. I tried a tester of this on my hand in Superdrug yesterday and loved it so I'm going to have to buy it. It's the Gosh Velvet Touch Foundation Primer and is £13 from Superdrug! If I get it (if I don't overspend on other completely unnecessary items) I will let you know and of course do a review!





Item of Clothing:




I love this dress! Who would guess this beauty could be picked up from the supermarket? Well it can! I'm loving George at Asda's collection at the moment and this is my favourite item. It's so pretty and classic with the shape and the floral print but I love the little lace detailing on the sleeves. So elegant, and only £18! I would wear this with sheer black tights and black heels at the moment with a grey boyfriend blazer over the top!





Accessory/Jewellery:


I've been looking for a gold charm bracelet for absolutely ages and lo and behold I have found it! It's got cute icecream and lollipop charms which I have fallen in love with... I am actually making a special trip in to town tomorrow to go hunting round Accessorize for this bracelet. Oh and by the way it's £12!




Shoe:

I'm loving nude shoes at the moment, and pointy flats so this has 2 thumbs up from me!! I also love the lace detailing bow! Oh my gosh, I've just realised that these would look quite pretty with the dress featured above! But yes get yourself on asos.com and part with a mere £22 for these stunners!







Total Cost = £65

So yes, hope you enjoyed this! Just to say a huge thankyooouuu to all of my lovely followers. I'm on 21 now and when I hit 50 (please, please, please) there will be a fantastic giveaway coming your way, so tell your friends, family and followers to be in with a chance of winning some fabulous prizes and to make this girl here (me!) very happy!
