Top 10 lipsticks under £5 and my new FAVOURITE eyeshadow

I thought I would do a post on the top 10 lipstick I use that are under £5 as I know in the blog world especially people like to switch things up and it can be an expensive buisness and as much as I would love to I can't always afford to spend alot of money on high end brands constantaly and it's not just about money it's also about I DON'T actually want to, don't get me wrong high end brands are a nice treat to have and if you prefer them then that's obviously good for you BUT me personally I have always been a thrifty girl that loves a bargain especially as I like to experiment with make up so much and buy alot of different stuff and I think this comes from growoing up I wasn't brought up with money BUT the things I had I appreciated so I appreciate getting a new lipstick whether it's a £1 one or a high end one the same! THIS is also the reason why I love ordering from the UK website Fragrance Direct so much as the make up is SOOOO cheap and great brands like l'oreal, bourjois, maybelline, ETC

Anyway I use these 10 colours the most I thought I would do a post on them, I haven't included any of the new Sleek True Colour lipsticks as I have spoke about these soooo much now and I will state here YES they are under £5 and YES they are very much fantastic, I cannot fault them BUT I thought i'd share a few other ones, so these are the swatches - 


So from Left - Right

1. Collection 2000 True glossy in SHADE 10 (A lovely mid brown)
2. 17 Lasting fix in PINK POWER (A brigh pink that's more berry and plummy than neon bright)
3. NYC lipstick in PEACH ICE (This is the perfect nude lip for me, warm but not too white based so it looks like damn concealer....I hate those lipsticks *cough cough* Barry M shade 101 LOL)
4. Rimmel Moisture Renew in ROSE PASSION (My perfect red warming to olive skins and so hydrating)
5. MUA @ Superdrug in SHADE 4 (Everyday baby pink not too pigmented but nice and glossy)
6. MUA @ Superdrug in SHADE 11 (A colour similar to my lips but more coral/pinky based also very sheeny)
7. Collection 2000 True glossy in SHADE 9 (A slightly darker brown lovely against a tan)
8. 17 Lasting fix in SHELL (A frosty but flattering nude)
9. Wet N Wild SHADE 625101 (Another red but more orange based than the Rimmel one)
10. Rimmel Lasting finish in CANDY (Bubblegum pink looks best with some gloss for that perfect nude pink)

So there you have it the variants of shades I wear mostly - pinks, reds and brown/nudes. The Rimmel Lasting finish are my favourite lipsticks EVER I also love Crush, Birthday Suit & Coral in Gold and they are SO cheap.

ALSO I have a new ''Find'' as you may know I love maybelline mono shadows as a base so I mainly use neutral colours like 'Golden Sand' but this caught my eye the other day say hello to Maybelline 'Emerald Diamonds'

At first glance I thought oohh thats a nice olive green I love green's for dark eyes if you haven't check out my green trend post check it HERE but then when I picked it up it changed to a golden flecked colour and as I kept moving it it was almost holographic like! I LOVED it, now I swatched it and first thoughts were ok its not that green or the green I imagined but it is the most flattering green based sort of brown colour with golden flecks, it is so stunning -

I will be getting SO much wear out of this everyday just with simple winged liner eyes and coral lips its stunning and best of all? You can buy it for 99p HERE I got mine at a discounted make up store in my own time not off of the Fragrance direct site but I was browing on there tonight when I realised they had it, I have had a few orders of there now and all are fast and simple, plus no matter what you get it's a flat rate of £1.99

Want perfect looking legs? Check out this 'Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs' Review

So today I am going to do a review on 'Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs' this basically is a foundation for your legs, I first got this when I started modelling as I have a few imperfections and scars on my legs and I instantley loved it,


If you have any freckles/veins/imperfections it will be the perfect product heres what the bottle states -

Its ideal now as we approach summer and want pretty legs to wear all those shorts, skirts and dresses in the sun! It doesn't rub off all day and won't transfer onto your clothes so you don't have to worry as after 60seconds or so it dries and to wash off you just get some warm soapy water, All you do is spray it into your hands and then rub it in all over your legs, it also adds a bit of a colour depending what shade you get and it's basically 'Tights in a bottle'here is how it sprays out -

I got nude glow which I think would be perfect for fair to olive toned skin but I bought mine on ebay last year so don't know if this shade was discontinued as on Superdrugs website I can only find 4 shades - Light glow, Medium glow, Tan glow and Deep glow, if this is the case I would probabaly get Medium for my skin. 

The only problem I have is from discussion on the Sally Hansen website it seems it might have been re-formulated as people are complaining it's not got glitter in and they're legs are looking like 'disco balls' LOL so if anything to be on the safe side I will probably buy from ebay the 'Nude Glow' if I can find it as I know this is definatley the old formula I love so much.

It retails around £10-ish from what I see online but on ebay mine was around £6-£7.

I always uumed and aahed about trying it but then just decided to at the spur of the moment as I was always covering my leg imperfections with concealer or foundation and it was a losing battle as they obviously practically rub off straight away so this is my summer holy grail products

Personal pictures....round 2 :)

So I did a random personal pics post HERE 6mths-ish ago when I first started blogging  and thought I would do another as I think it's good to have abit of change and I can show you photos from my face of the day posts or whatever all day long but I like to have a post like this every so often for a few random pics :)

It is pic heavy i'm warning you now LOL and these are totally random, from phone cam shots to pro shots from 2006 uptil now 

So we start off with a right cracker haha how funny this is me with a Jeunessa Montagne facemask on it was a peel off one can't remember the exact name BUT how scary do I like.....no its not halloween haha

Forget Jack-In-A-Box Kyla my kitten is Cat-In-The-Box she loves to sit in boxes and especially carrier bags bless her she makes me giggle

And here she is pictured with her big bro LOL they rarely sit together even though they do get on so this is a rare pic for them....I think I only got this because they were both scared of the hoover noise so ran to hide in my bedroom window bless them

This Me and Ash with our friend Adam and David Platt from Coronation Street, I also have one with Rosie Webster from a few years back LOL

Then this is just an old modelling shot from about a year ago

This is an even older modelling shot from about a year and half ago

This pic was when I competed in a Beauty Pageant in 2006 I was the youngest one there at 17

This is a modelling shot from Oct 2010 love the ballet theme of it

You can see one of my 6 tattoos here (all are teeny tiny and unnoticeable half the time though)

A modelling shot from Oct 2010 again

Me and Ash this was 2007 I think wow 4years ago :-0

My friend Jade and I on our first night out I was so excited for this bless us think this must have been 2006 or late 2005

When I had short hair (2007ish) I was 18 and just got it cut it all off in a spur of the moment choice one day its took until now for it to grow as long as it was before this & I do miss it but I would never do it again!

The first night in our house when me and Ash moved in here think it was August 2008

This is at Roundhay park in leeds we spent alot of summer there in 2007 we just had long chill out days where we would just talk and have fun

Pic from a wedding shoot somewhere at the beginning of my blog I did a wedding make up post HERE on this look and have a couple more pics up

This was 2008 and on a work night out which was also my friends birthday and my first time ever going on a night out in Manchester it was such a memorable fun night I miss my old work now!

With my same workmates another work night out, we were lifeguards with a baywatch theme LOL

Then for my friend Jade's 19th birthday in 2008 I was a sailor

Then this was my first time babysitting my friend Elenas baby shes soooo big now think this must have been 3years ago

Another shot from the Wedding shoot

Me with my friend Nikki my hair was the shortest its ever been here

Me and Jade in 2005 in the place where we first met - BEAUTY SCHOOL! I look so bad ha ha

One of mine and Ashs nights out in the early days this must have been in our first year together so 2007-ish

Mine and Ashs first ever photo!! So blurry as it's a pic of a pic it was 2004 we didn't actually get together for another 2 years after this pic I just loved him from the start :)

I LOVE pics my camera comes everywhere my heart feels fluttery now thinking of all these memories....Aww I think everyone should do a post like this!
