Rimmel LYCRA PRO- 313 Cocktail Passion

Well, This is another nail polish I purchased on my shopping trip and have since had the chance to use it properly!
It's such a beautiful and vibrant colour, 1 coat most definitely does the trick and it stays on really well! No chips so far ladies! Which is always a good thing. 
As much as I'm looking forward to spring time and all the pastel colours I do think this colour will work perfectly as I currently have it on my nails along with my new Barry M Gelly colour which reminds me of Parmaviolets! I actually have shellac on underneath it (naughty naughty) not due another nail appointment until wednesday so I shall have to wait until then to upload a picture of my nice nails- follow me on Instagram to see that 'charlougray' 

Sorry this is such a short post but I don't have any cons for this polish it's so lovely and the brush is so nice to apply it no round long and flat which is always a plus!

Kisses to you lovely lovely readers!

Bourjous Rouge Edition Lipstick 17

I went for a little shop the other day and brought a couple of goodies for myself before my job interview (which I have more recently found out that I GOT ahhh so excited)

I went into Boots and was having a look at Rimmel looking for the apocolips colours, I was shocked when I found them: they are a glossy substance I was under the impression that they were the pen tips (like felt tip pen) 
Oh well, they weren't and as I turned around I saw this newish range from Bourjois the 'Rouge Edition' I wanted to get a colour that was just a bit more pink than my natural lip colour and I found that in number 17!

It's a really smooth lip stick it goes on amazing and although I'd say the wearing time is only about 2-3 hours I didn't mind reapplying it because it was so moisturising which was surprising to me!

All in all I'm really loving this lipstick and am now in a daily battle do I wear this one or my Vegas Volt MAC lipctick!

Oh the joys of being a girl!

Body Shop Cucumber Water and Cleanser

I'm so rubbish at this I've been sat here for ages trying to rotate this image!

Well, firstly let's start off with a little exercise- tilt your head to the right to see what the bottles of these products look like! HAHA

Now I got these 2 products a few months ago as a repurchase!

LOVE!

The cucumber water smells a bit like sneezes to me which is really strange- I'd also like to say I don't like cucumber!

I'm so strange I'm raving to you about a product I really shouldn't like- sneezes and something I don't even like.

Hmm, anyway- I do infact love this product!

Starting with the refreshing cucumber water- It's exactly that- REFRESHING!

I love putting some on a cotton pad in the morning and wiping it over my face it always wakes me up before gym makes my face feel like it's just had a lovely drink!

The cons of this products would of course have to be the smell, it isn't exactly un plesant but I would love it if it smelled of something different, I will now go on the hunt for another smelling on as these products are now unavailable!

The cucumber cleanser isn't the best cleanser I've ever used but as it goes hand in hand with the refreshing water I do like to use them together.

It's not bad product and to be honest it has helped clear up a nasty outbreak of spots I just had!

That paired with drinking a load of water to get rid of a kidney infection! *eeep*

The cleanser, I think, smells substantially better than the water, not really sure why this is, think it might be down to the creamier texture there is obviously more ingrediants!

I would recommend you buying these products, however I do believe they are now unavailable!

I know there are a few bottles going on eBay but don't pay anymore than £5 for each bottle!

I am going to try out the pomegranate toner from body shop when my cucumber water has run out so I'll let you know how that one matches up and then I'll be able to give you a direct buying link!

Hope February was kind to you and March is also!

CHATTER POST- Late Night Nipples

Here is something a little bit different and new, I hope you can deal with change because this is a slight change. 
Sometimes I just want to blog about 'normal' things, random things I'm thinking about at the time, things that are too long to tweet!

When that time comes around I shall be writing these 'chatter posts' I shall warn you in the title so if you're only into the beauty thing then you can just scroll on past. 
The chatter posts will also be in this funky new colour so you do not get confused ;)
New font too, how considerate of me, sorry I am not smart enough to put beauty and chatter on two different pages yet- I've been reading into it but no such luck as of yet so please let me know if you can teach me!

ANYWAY, It is 01:44am on Monday morning and I am expected to be awake at 7:30 to go and spend a grueling 3 odd hours at the gym, which I love but I can never get to sleep if I'm sleeping alone, and I am, of course alone, for the first time in a while which really sucks, I cannot get relaxed and don't know where my sleep balm is because I haven't properly unpacked yet!
I feel like there is a lot of things blobbing around in my head, I'm strangely thinking a lot about skirts, I don't know if any other females do this but I get this idea in my head sometimes that one item of clothing is going to be my 'statement' piece and I spend hours thinking about it, what I could wear it with what shape I could pull off etc
I always end up with the same outcome, 
I could NOT wear that in public, people would judge me.

I literally wear the same thing everyday, not the same clothes exactly, clean ones but exactly the same style, I will always be wearing black leggings and a baggy jumper or black leggings and a sheer blouse.

How utterly boring, one of my new years resolutions was/is to spice up my style. I want to broaden my horizons I look at what other girls are wearing and I'm like YES! I want to wear that!
Then I don't end up buying it because I spend the money on stupid things I don't need like yet more jumpers or yet more camisoles.

What an exciting life my wardrobe leads!

Completely changing subject now Anne Hathaway has always got her erect nipples on show through dresses. which I have just noticed at the Oscars, and I'm not even watching it!

I feel tired now that I've fired up my laptop and opened my tabs and started to write. Typical, bet you £30 I shut my laptop down tuck myself into bed and I'm wide awake still.

I bet you £30 exactly because I want to get my tattoo done tomorrow and I don't get paid until Tuesday so I figured I'd just ask....

Think I just figured out where my balm is, going to check then listen to my Alice In Wonderland Audiobook.

I'm an eccentric chum.

Goodnight, Kisses. 

Rimmel Wake Me UP Foundation+Concealer

Oh, what a beautiful time to be a girl when you own such products as these!
I didn't realllllly know what to expect when I purchased these little twinies! I knew I wanted to buy the foundation as I had heard Zoella talking about how great she found it (always a trusting Zoella fan)
Check out her channel by the way!

http://www.youtube.com/user/zoella280390

But when I went to buy it I noticed in the side bar a nice matching concealer- always love a good last minute buy those cheeky marketing experts showing us things we NEED at the last minute when we absolutely cannot say no!
So, down to business! 

Foundation
LOVE! Amazing coverage, lights up my skin in the mornings highlights my cheek bones without the need for any highlighter! It really does 'wake you up' fancy that, aye?
As for how long it actually stayed on my face I've been doing my make up at about 10/11 ish in the morning and removing my make up at 8pm and I still have a full face of make up!
It also smells really nice too so I must agree with Zoe there!
I've been applying it with a foundation brush and literally half a pea size on my hand is covering my face up nicely it covers my face but doesn't look like I'm wearing much make up ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

Clever Rimmel!

Concealer
I'm not completely sold on this concealer yet! I may stick with my Maybelline but of course I'm going to continue using this for the next couple of weeks see what happens, how I get on with it!
I didn't find the coverage to be amazing, after a couple of hours the hideous bags under my eyes had started to rear their ugly head and I was powdering up!
The coverage issues may just be because under my eyes they are really bluey and horrible at the moment because it's not THAT bad at coverage small spot blemishes!

All in all this was a good purchase ESPECIALLY the foundation which is my new favourite!

Goodbye dream matte mousse after about 4 years, we MAY meet again!

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint

Just received this Barry M nail polish in the post and had to apply it straight away (excuse the face that I haven't given myself a proper manicure since I ripped my acrylics off *naughty*) 

It's in the shade 'Prickly Pear' and it just so happens to be exactly the same colour as my converses! 

I'm really into pastel nail colours and this is a really nice shade of pastel purple but with vibrant under tones. I'm in love when I have the chance the give myself a proper manicure and sort my disgusting nails out I shall be apply this continuously! 

I really want to buy more of these Barry M colours so if anyone knows of any that are rally nice give me a message and let me know- include pictures if you can because the colour always looks different online!

PROS: The colour is lush!

I could of survived with just one coat, it gave enough colour! (But I applied 2)

Dried pretty quickly

Wasen't tacky

Will update you soon on how well it stays on and all that Jazz!

1. Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up, or nice hair and no make-up?

I think I'd rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up because you can work messy hair to your advantage!

2. Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out?

Definitely rather my eyelashes fall out! FALSIES! You can have completely drawn on eyebrows and look half normal!

3. Would you rather be forced to shop at only MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?

Oh god, this is a hard decision- I prefer MAC to Sephora but I would honestly hate to not be able to go to boots and experiment with different brands, but yeah, MAC.

4. Would you rather wear the lipliner/ lipgloss look or an 80's perm?

Definitely lipliner lip gloss look because there is such thing as blending and you really can't blend out an 80's perm!

5.Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush?

Ew, would prefer a foundation line I think because I can't stand over done blush, I went there when I was a dancer and loved it then, obviously, because everyone was like that! But I'm always stood around like 'ewwww look at that foundation line' THIS IS HARD!

6. Would you rather wear MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public?

MC Hammer shorts for definitely, literally zero chance of a camel toe ;)

7. Would you rather have a bad orange-y fake tan or obvious tan lines you can't cover?

Hideous decision! I think tan lines!

8. Would you rather have bad hair cut or bad hair colour?

Bad hair colour, that can be rectified easily, hair takes ages to grow!

9. Would you rather have YouTube or Twitter taken away forever?

Definitely Twitter!

10. Would you rather give up make up brushes or mascara?

It depends can I still use sponges? I could just use sponge for my foundation and fingers for the rest!!
