Sugar & Spice Sundays 029 %

Ive gone & done it again and posted this a day late ... whoopsie!! So i really cant think what i did last week, obviously it's been a boring week lol!! I paid a MASSIVE chunk of mine & the boy's holiday, £800 off it to be exact, so this month im gonna try & be careful with the spending!!

I went into Mac the other day in Selfridges in Manchester centre & im not sure if its new assistants but they were so rude!! I was one of them for Antiqued & Hoodwinked in the pan form and she was like we dont sell them colours, they dont exist ... i was like eerrrr ive just seen them in the stand over there, she walked off to the eyeshadow stand & never came back!!! Rude or what!! I decided i'll ask someone else who was lovely & i ended up purchasing abit more than i planned but oh well!! I was gonna do a little haul but im gonna wait off & do a complete MAC pallette & then my MAC lipstick's collection!!

Me & the boy on Saturday night headed off to Nando's for some chickkennnnnnn :) YUMMY and then we headed over to the cinema for some giggles & watched The Hangover 2 ... it was FANTASTIC, i think it was tons better than the first one & i really want to watch it again!!! I want spoil anything but think Alan is by far the bestest character!!

Ive realised that this last month ive only posted 8 post's, thats 2 a week and 3 of those would of been Sugar & Spice Sundays ... i really need to buck my idea's up and get into gear & start posting again!! Ive been thinking of starting Talkative Tuesdays again, or Takeover Tuesdays, Talkative Tuesday is a mini interview with another blogger or i was thinking Takeover Tuesdays could be ANY blogger can post any post they feel would be suitable for my blog!!

Perfect Peach %

These glosses have been around for a while now but im behind the times, they have a good array of colours in the range from nudey peaches to bright pinks and fire cracker reds! Revlon says : 'Revlon Super Lustrous Lip gloss is the sexiest lipgloss for the ultimate in high-gloss shine' They are totally right, they have a very glossy finish!
Ive had the lip gloss for a while now but i totally forgot about it, it wasn't till someone posted about it that i remembered i had it & I've been wearing it ever since. Its the perfect pinky peachy spring colour and I've been wearing it on its own, its so pigmented you dont need a base colour underneath.
There's a sponge wand applicator which is slightly angled for an easier application. Its very smooth product that glides on the lips, the angled applicator makes it easy to create the perfect glossy  look with a neat finish. These glosses have amazing colour pay off which last's on the lips for a while unlike some lipglosses ive tried.
The packaging is super sleek and looks alot more expensive than it actually is, especially with the gold ring around the base of the lid, there should be writing at the bottom of the tube but because I've had mine a while its faded/rubbed off.

.You can pick up this little beauty from Boots or Superdrug for about £6.99, in the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss range there are some other gorgeous colours, the Coral Reef & Pink Pop are next on my wanted list! 

Have you tried any of the Super Lustrous Range?? If so what's your favourite colour ?

Sugar & Spice Sundays 028 %

Right now its 09.31 and im sat at work doing TONS of work as you can tell hee hee!!! Im sat here doing some work, typing bits of this post up and listening to the Ultimate Floor Fillers CD on my iphone .. at the moment is Flip & Fill's shooting star ... oh to be 14/15 again!! Ive just realised one of our major systems are down, ive ran out of work and i dont have a manager in ... hmmm what to do lol!!

I finished work at 2.30 and headed home to meet the girlies to go to The Fletchers for a scrummy carvery ... all the vegie's i could, it was delicious, i very nearly ate myself into a food coma haha!! We chit chatted about our weekend's then headed off home so i could spend some time with the boy, hardly seen him this weekend due to working lots!

Ive realised i haven't done an outfit of the day in AGES ... i just cant find the time to take them as the good lights gone by the time i get home, im off work on Friday so i might cheat & take lots of photo's of all different OOTD's and then post them randomly, so if my hair & make-up is the same on them all then thats why lol!!

Im now doing what i do every Sunday afternoon, relaxing with the boy & watching another episode or 5 of House!! So i know this is a short post but i dont want to do all the usual ive been working blah blah blah!! Yoga again on Monday & im super excited!!!

Sugar & Spice Sundays 027 %


Another week has gone by .... Monday night i convinced one of my bestie's to come to a yoga class thats on in our local town centre, so after abit of sweet talking she decided to come, i haven't done any yoga classes before and thought it would be fun, so after driving down, getting the guts to walk into a class of people who are probably really confident & good at yoga we got to the door to see a sign Yoga Class Cancelled, Jane's partner's poorly ... so were going again tomorrow ... fingers crossed lol!!

On Tuesday i got up, was mega tired and it was one of those morning when you wished you could of stayed in bed ... so i got to work for 7.45, and at 9.50 i realised it was the 10th May and was thinking im sure today meant something ... after 10 mins of thinking i realised it was my day off ... i got given the 10th off as i worked the day of the royal wedding which was my schedule day off anyway ... so after all that i should of been at home in bed catching up on YT video's lol!!!

So not much really happened for the next few days, i was looking forward to Saturday night out with my girlies!! Had such a FAB night, way to many blue wkd's and apple sours were consumed, but luckily this morning i was perfectly fine no hang over in sight!! BONUS!!

This afternoon me & the boy went to my sisters as it was my nephew's 6th Birthday, we got him some wrestling figures, he LOVES john cena, Shamus, kane etc!! He had a fab time, we then came home, closed all the curtains so it was all cosy & warm and snuggled on the sofa watching House AGAIN lol ... just started season 5 and im gonna be pretty gutted once we've finished watching them!!

Kim Kardashian %

It doesn't matter what this lady wears but she looks STUNNING! I think her sense of style is amazing, its a very classic lady like look. Kim doesn't conform to traditional LA / New York stereo type of size 0, she has curves, she has boobs & a bum and is proud of it!


So in her everyday outfits she looks effortlessly gorgeous, some of her outfits are just so plain and simple, like the 2nd from the left on the top tow, black linen trousers, white vest & a long scarf oh & a designer handbag to top it off & some fab sunnies! I also love the picture 2nd from the right on the bottom row, flared jeans are big right now, there really flattering on her shape to, they balance her hips as the eye's are drawn to the flare. They look cute with a white vest top & fitted black waistcoat.

So we know she looks fab dressed casually but she's looks absolutely stunning when she's dressed up. The top row of pictures are more casual than full on ball gown red carpet. My favorite two on the top row are the 1st two from the left, i think the black blazer looks lovely over the white dress, it looks smart yet sassy. the floral dress with gladiator sandals is so cute & girlie and looks so summery, its a perfect holiday evening dress!
All the dresses in the bottom row flatter her figure perfectly, the dark navy dress looks stunning, it hugs all her curves in exactly the right places making every women envy of her figure! I think the picture on the very right the pale blue Grecian dress is gorgeous, the statement neckline is the right amount of bling/sparkle and her sleek updo finishes it off just right.

I know some people think Kim Kardashian is so over rated but i disagree, i love KUWTK & think she is definatly a style icon in her own right!

Sugar & Spice Sundays 026 %


Cant believe its Sunday already, this past week has just flew by ... im trying to think what ive actually gotten up to this week and i havent a clue ... must of been a boring week eh ??

So Monday was the end to the streak of Bank Holidays, well for a few weeks that is till the bank holiday at the end of the month, and like the other 3 bank holidays everyone enjoyed off i offered to work ... i totally regretted it when my alarm was beeping away but oh well it will be worth it at pay days!

On Wednesday i finished work at 3 and got my eyebrows threaded, now the usual lady who does mine was fully booked so the Salon owner did them, i told her just to neaten them up & not to make them thin as i prefer a thicker brow ... what did she go & do ... she got thread happy and now im left with two VERY thin & uneven brows ... thank god for brow pencils!

Me & the boy have watched season 3 of House now ... i LOVE it, i seriously have a major crush on House, sad i know but oh well!!

Ive had tons of lovely comments on my post Blogging in the Dark, i love the way everyone has there own opinion and they way blogging is something that people are proud of doing, go & have a looksie if you havent already read it.
So today i decided to do the 30 day shred again, it killed me so much but i really want to get into some sort of shape thats not round hahaha ... im not lay on my bed, catching up on YT vid's & painting my nails in Barry M Blue Moon ... on my 3rd coat & it still looks streaky!!!!!!

Are you Blogging in the Dark ??

So Ive had my blog since November 2009 and for the most part of the last 17 months the only person who knew about my blog was the boy, i used to secretly take photo's of my outfits, take photo's of my hauls then quickly upload them all and delete them off my memory card so no one asked me why i had tons of photo's of make-up, hair care blah blah!

Recently i told one of my bestie's about my blog, the reason i told her is that she was asking about how i got invited to the Gentry Event and i knew it was a perfect time to tell her about my blog. I was super nervous, i was thinking what if she thought i was a geek, it was totally rubbish but she was fab about it, she read it all in one go, thats over 250 post's for her to read but she kept popping back up on facebook chat saying she loved it!!

I briefly mentioned this the other week on my Sugar & Spice Sunday and got a few comments in regards to this subject. Now the reason i haven't told anyone is that it just doesnt come up in everyday conversations, imagine saying oh yea ive got a beauty/lifestyle/fashion blog and then having to explain what that is to everyone, its just not worth the hassel. Now one of my bestie's know about my blog i cant wait to be able to make her help me with my OOTD pictures lol!!


Lately there's been alot of drama on twitter about people's 'friend's finding out about their blogs and ridiculing them for it, now i personally feel thats really mean if someone has got the guts to put them selves out there on the internet then all the best to them. I wont ever leave a bad comment on someones blog because im not mean i feel everyone who puts there time & effort into a blog post should be left with good feedback and not harsh criticism. If you dont like what your reading then just click the little close box and not scroll down to the bottom of the post to start leaving hate ... thats just MEAN!!! 
Im super proud of my blog and all the hard work ive put into it, i enjoy spending abit of time most days reading through all your posts, reading all your reviews, making me lust after so many things ... im blaming you for my non stop spending hahaha!!

Are you blogging in the dark ?

+ Mcqueen i love thee +

 Have you got one item in your wardrobe that you seem to reach for all the time?? An accessory that looks perfect with any outfit, whether its a girlie lacy dress or a pair of denim cut offs and biker boots? Well i do and its my new gorgeous Alexander Mcqueen Skull Scarf, Ive only had it in my mitts for just over 2 weeks now but i reach for it all the time!


At the moment the only way ive been wearing it is simply draped around my neck, i have been thinking that it would look lovely just tied around the handle on my bag, just to add a lil twist to my outfit. Im also thinking of tying it around my head like a head band, as seen on Nicole Richie.

Im now lusting after the black version with the white skulls but you can get that version copied on the high street so im thinking of getting the pale green version as its just utterly GORGEOUS!!!

Do you own anything by the gorgeous Mcqueen ?? As well as the scarfs im lusting after his skull rings which are again utterly GORGEOUS!!

Sugar & Spice Sundays 025 %


I hope you've all had a fantastic short week this week at work, but if your unlucky like me and worked both the bank holidays this week i feel your pain! Luckily at work on Friday i did get to watch the wedding, was streaming it live via the MSN.com website, it was a fantastic thing to watch, Catherine looked fantastic, Sarah Burton did an amazing job on the dress, im Sure Alexander would of been super proud, knowing a creation of his was being shown to the world wide on such a gorgeous lady!! I was going to do a post on the Royal Wedding but there's so many floating around at the moment i decided against it!

Yesterday me & the boy had a BBQ at our house & invited a few of our friends and family, there wasn't a cloud in the sky & the sun was doing its best to keep everyone warm but the wind was out in full force yesterday, blowing the tree's around and everything, but luckily my little garden was a wind trap so we was able to avoid all the wind! We ate lots of BBQ food, drank a little to much and had a fantastic time!!

Woke up this morning feeling perfectly fine, no hang over in sight for me but the boy is a totally different story, he hardly drinks anymore and was suffering so bad from a hangover, he actually thought he had food poisoning, bless him, nothing a cup of tea and a slice of toast didnt sort out! This afternoon i was craving a Sunday dinner but failing to have anything in the house to cook to even slighty resemble one we resorted to going out for a pub lunch so i could satisfy my craving for vegetables!!

So at the moment now im sat typing this with a bag of Dorito's, mild salsa dip & sour cream dip whilst watching another episode of House!! I seriously LOVE this show!!!!
