A day of craftyness



Just thought I'd share some little things I've been making.
They're not amazing and certainly not perfect but I'm happy with them so far
as normally anything I try to make just falls apart and generally 
looks awful!

Firstly as i've been on maternity leave i've found i've been getting bored
not working (I never thought i'd say that,but it's true!)
And I wanted to make a pregnancy/baby photo album,so I thought
I'd just decorate it myself and try to make it like a scrapbook.
So here's what we have so far...(I'll only show the cover
as I don't bore you with pictures inside)





So this is the albums front cover,we found out we're having a little girl thus 
all the girliness & pink :)
I'm going to put her name across the front once she's born as well. 


And then I've just finished making my new phone case. 
It's really a practise run as i'm going to do more in different styles & colours!



Thanks for checking these out!
If anyone has any questions or does the same things send us a message :)

That Is Lush!



I went shopping yesterday and I noticed the 'LUSH' store near by,and before I knew 
it i practically had my nose stuck in every bucket & pot in there. I just can't control myself when it comes to 
'LUSH' there products are so lovely! The smell of the shop is amazing!!

So anyway I picked up these products to try out :)

We have a Bath Bomb,a face & Back mask & a lip scrub!

Lush avobath bomb

So first off is the bath bomb which was so hard to choose as there's so many!
I picked up the 'AVOBATH' Bomb as it smelt gorgeous! It smells of
lemons,limes and is very fresh and zesty. 
It has Avocado,Olive oil and Lemongrass in it and is very good for moisturising!
And it was only £3.20,bargain! 

Lush mask of magnaminty

Lush mask of magnaminty

And number 2 is the 'MASK OF MAGNAMINTY' which was £4.95. This cleanser mask 
smells really strong of mint which is nice and invigorating! 
It has honey,Talc,ground Aduki beans,evening primrose oil,peppermint oil African marigold 
oil & vanilla absolute ingredients.
This is supposed to help fight against spots and breakouts, I luckily don't really suffer with bad
spots,however when I do breakout i breakout BIG TIME! Especially since being pregnant 
I have noticed more spots around my mouth,so hopefully this bad boy will help!

I tried it out last night and I wasn't really sure if you're supposed to keep it on
or just wash it off straight away but I kept it on for about 5,10 minutes. It 
left my skin feeling very smooth and refreshed. 

Lush bubblegum lip scrub

And product number 3 is the Bubblegum Lip Scrub, and this is probably my favourite 
product! It comes in loads of different flavours but I chose Bubblegum for starters ;) 
It smells so sweet and actually tastes like candy too which is good so 
you can just lick it off after rubbing your lips. 

Lush bubblegum lip scrub

This contains caster sugar,organic Jojoba oil and Methyl lonone.
My lips are always so dry and cracked no matter how much lip balm I put on.
i used to just use sugar as a lip scrub but this is a lot more convenient 
and i look less of a plonker sticking my lips in a handful of sugar!
I bought this for £5.25.



So that's it folks,here's 'LUSH's website for you to look at these in more detail
and check out other products. 

Ciao Bellas

summer evening make up


Hello everyone!
First of all I hope you all had a good Easter holiday and got lots of choccy!

So today was actually bright and sunny for once!! And it got me all excited for summer!(means more 
ice lollies! :) )
And I was going out and thought I'd post about the make up I done as I think it's a nice
look for a summer evening!

(I apologize for the length of this one peeps!) 



So this above is the look.I basically used golden browns & coral colours for the eyes and 
kept my cheeks to an apricoty/golden tan shade.I'll go through everything I used,if you have less time I've listed everything I used at the bottom.



 The eye shadow palette is called 'Perfection' and it was from 'Marks&Spencer' would you
believe. And the silver brush is a Ruby&Miller medium brush and the black one is just 
a blending one I have in a set someone brought me.


I'm so sorry for the STATE of my palette I was really clumsy and dropped it down the stairs :( 
Also with that I used 'Color 24hour Tatoo' by Maybelline in '35-on and on bronze.' 
So these are the colours i used. I'm really sorry but I'm pretty useless as the 
palette shadows don't have individual names which is bit of a bummer! But I used the 2nd colour in the inner corners of my eyelid,then the 3rd all over my lid and a bit blending up in my crease. I then used the 4th one inside my crease and then the 1st on is the Maybelline tatoo shadow which I blended out from the crease and outwards to my brow bone. I used the 5th one which is just a light pearly colour on my brow bone.

This is the foundation I used which is 'CLINIQUE Even Better' in colour '03 IVORY'. I love this foundation as it's very light,feels weightless on your skin and for me has really good coverage especially with dark circles! And then I used of course my trusty 'Super stay' concealer by MAYBELLINE in colour '2-LIGHT/BEIGE'. 

For the eyes I used MAYBELLINE 'COLOSSAL VOLUM' EXPRESS' mascara and then stuck on some good old falsies with 'REVLON PRECISION LASH ADHESIVE' which comes in a tube in either white or black,(personally I prefer white as it dries clear where as black can get a bit messy & doesn't seem to get as tacky?) I then used 
'BOURJOIS LINER STYLO' eye liner in black. This one is more of a wax/crayon liner then a pencil so it's really good for blending! 


 I then used my bronzer which is 'BOURJOIS DELICE DE POUDRE' in colour '52.' I used a BOURJOIS' 
blusher brush that you can buy on it's own which is rather smashing. And I used a eyebrow pencil by
'RIMMEL' in '00-Dark Brown'. 

Last but not least this is the lipstick I used by 'RIMMEL' and it's one of the colours by Kate Mosses collection
called 'KATE' funnily enough. This is colour '113' which is a very peachy/light orange colour. I love this lipstick as it's quite creamy and moisturizing.

So that is it you'll be pleased to know,told you it was long ;) But never the less I hope you enjoyed it and 
let me know if you liked this look and if you like any of these products aswell or have any questions  :)
