I Want An Invisibility Cloak!

I'm going through a phase whereby I don't particularly want to be so 'accessible' on the internet and fade into anonymity a little bit. Not so much with this blog because I don't really give that much away about myself on here so it's not a big deal.

But other areas of the net I'm pulling away from. I've wiped my youtube and the profile I used to get work on Model Mayhem. I'm not sure if it's me wanting to do so for personal reasons or the fact I'm pulling back from doing the whole makeup thing for shoots.

Another reason for it is that I don't want my actions to be common knowledge when I know there are people who try to find me online for negative reasons. They can't get to me or do anything to me. But I'd still rather they couldn't find out what I'm doing with a few clicks.

Has anyone else had this?

Glamour, I Heart You!

So, for Christmas just gone, my sister got me a one year subscription to Glamour Magazine. Love her for that, it's easily the best women's mag in the country.

This month, they've done it again! Here I was, sat on my laptop and browsing the net when the mail came and my new issue arrived. This is quite bulky this month, I thought. Upon opening it I found out why. A free Benefit Bad Gal eye pencil. I love Benefit, I think the Bad Gal Mascara is superb.

So get to the newsagents and buy a copy my lovelies, I assure you this issue will sell fast!

Free Jemma Kidd Lipgloss - Review

So I came across something interesting today. I'm sure some of you have already seen this. With this month's issue of Red magazine you get a free Jemma Kidd lipgloss with a choice of three shades.

The only one I could see was the nude one, Shell. I really wanted to get the red one but I'll just have to hunt about in other shops for it.

So, onto the review.

First of all, I am impressed just by the fact you get a free gloss worth £14 in the first place. It's one of the better freebies I've seen of late. On par with Marie Claire giving away those cute tubs of Body Shop lotion.

I have to say I was really impressed with this product.

After getting over my initial sadness I didn't get the red gloss I tried on the one I did get. Well...

This shade is very sheer and gives just a hint of colour. It's more accurate to say it infuses your lips with a sexy shine and some sparkle. As glosses go, this one isn't part of the sticky gang. You know, the ones that make it hard to even open your mouth because your lips have been glued together!

You don't need an awful lot of this stuff as a little goes a long way and it lasts for an impressive amount of time. All in all, I'd definitely buy two more mags to get the other two shades.

Get to the newsagent and get yours today!

Just Be Designs @ Etsy

Greetings all, time for another little entry.

I recently bought a necklace from a seller on Etsy. For those of you who have not heard of it, Etsy is a site similar to Ebay where the sellers make their own items and sell them on. I can't even remember how I stumbled across this seller, I think I was browsing the jewellery section randomly and spotted an item I loved. Clicked on it, perused the sellers page and just thought how amazing everything was.

The seller is Just Be Designs and you can view the shop at the below location:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/justbedesigns

I bought myself the Frankly French charm necklace and I was awed by it when it showed up. First of all, check out the adorable packaging it arrived in:

Inside, the necklace was nestled snuggly in a little box and cotton wool. The necklace features several charms centered around a large circular locket. The other charms are of the Eiffel Tower, a medallion that reads Oui, a beautiful pink teardrop shaped stone, a fleur d'lis, red crystals, pearlys, clear crystals, a golden angel wing, a key, a crown and a bottle of Parfum charm.

I would definitely recommend this seller. Pleasant and professional, I am thrilled to own something from this very talented lady. Considering the item came from America, it got here very quickly. I waiting about a week and a half I think.

So, you should definitely go check that out and I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you decide to purchase something.

Love to all

On The Move

Hello everybody!

So so sorry for the lack of activity on here.
I have been up the wall the past few weeks packing up my flat and preparing to move. It's taken a lot of time and stress but I'm now settled into my new place and ready to get back to blogging.

So, my new place is further away from the city centre but, oddly enough, thanks to those things called trains it's going to be quicker and easier for me to get to work from here!

I've been job hunting like mad for the past few months and I'm really starting to feel down about the lack of development in that area. Seems like right now is the worst time to find a new job and I really kind of need it. Grrrr!

In other news, I may soon be a proud mummy to an adorable little kitten. Been speaking to a lady who's cat is expecting so fingers crossed on that :)

Other than that my life has been incredibly boring of late.

I did manage to get my hands on one of the extremely slippery Alice In Wonderland palettes from Urban Decay! It's soooo pretty :)

Not had much time or funding to spare on my makeup habit lately. Hence a new job would be incredibly helpful and I wouldn't feel like I was scraping by each month!

Hmmm, what else?

Oh yes, I am in the middle of setting up an online business of sorts. I aim to have a vintage clothing website up and running in the next few months. Already put some work in on the design of the banner and layout and I'm going to be sorting out business cards soon ahead of launching the site. I also need to get a bit of software to help me out as I only know some basic HTML.

But that will be super fun once I sort all the details out!

L'Oréal Paris Hydra Energetic Face Wash

Hello lovelies!

Right, I want to take some time to rave about the Hydra Energetic face wash from L'Oréal. I know it's from the mens range but I honestly don't care. It is easily one of the best face care products I have ever used. I first used it a couple of months ago when I couldn't find my own face wash in the bathroom and borrowed by boyfriend's, he doesn't really use it that often himself. Well, I was blown away by it.

It claims to 'wake up skin' and 'cleanse without drying'. Well I have to agree it does just that. Massaging it into my skin I began to feel an extremely pleasant tingling sensation, the kind you get when you know you're getting a deep clean.

Washing it off, I surveyed the outcome. My skin looked fresh and glowing and it felt so smooth to the touch. I was a convert...
I thoroughly recommend you try it out too. I've found I prefer it to the usual products I would buy.
