Hi everyone,

Hope you're all having a good week.

There's a lot of drama on YouTube this week so I decided to do something fun.
Enter make-up... :)

I love the smokey eye look. This is my super easy and quick way to get the look.
Check out my  Smokey Eye Tutorial Video on Sarah's blog ... Click here

Please leave me a comment on her blog and as always I'll put every comment into a randomiser and someone will win a M.A.C Lustre Glass. I'd love some feedback since I'm always afraid of doing tutorials haha.

This is the look I wore in my Favourite Shoes video. I had lots of  requests for it.

Sunlove

I was contacted by Sunlove a few weeks ago. They asked if I would like to try a sample. There was no mention of reviews or videos at that stage, just sending me a sample.
I hadn't heard too much about them (I was away for the July/August drama!) They were aware that I was sick and sent me sweet messages to wish me well. I was impressed.
However, a few days ago I posted a video (which I pre-recorded a few weeks ago) about St Moriz and St Tropez. I received quite an offensive message. They were wondering why I said I was sick and then made a video about another tan and not sunlove. They also mentioned that they are not a dodgy company and said some negative things about the tans I had reviewed and named an agent I could contact to check his company ( I have no idea why, all I did was get delayed in getting back to them, I  made no insinuations!)I was furious and I wondered why a company would contact me in this manner so I decided to do a bit of research. It was then that I found gemsmaquillage's video and blog post ...

I will not be reviewing their product. However, I would like to say that had they continued being nice to me I probably would not have researched them and found the horrible tweets etc so I respect every guru who did a review and recommended sunlove, I would have done the very same had I not have learned about their unprofessionalism.

I have noticed that Sunlove have attacked people who did not want to try their product. I wanted to make my followers aware of the situation before I contact Sunlove to tell them I will be returning their sample. I will be prepared for some slander on their part, since they have proved again and again that this is how they handle their customers.

Thanks for reading,

My Favourite Blog...

                          Cooking with Lex

As you know I'm mad about make-up, beauty and fashion. What you may not know is that I love to bake! Show me an image of well decorated cupcakes on a pretty cake stand and I'm as happy as I would be in a shoe shop.

I also spend quite a lot of time online looking at recipes. It never occured to me to find someone who blogs about cooking.
Enter Lex! I know Lex from YouTube (I love her hauls and we do transatlantic swaps) She tweeted a link to her blog, low and behold images of pretty cupcakes and cookies appeared...instant heaven! I am delighted Lex has started a Cookery Blog. There are excellent recipes up there. I like that they are tried and tested (many are passed from older family members). Usually when I find recipes online I have no idea how it will turn out, now they are Lex tested :)

If you enjoy cooking and baking here's the link:

Self Tan Review: St. Moriz v's St. Tropez

I'm a self confessed St Tropez addict. It is quite expensive (€39) so when I heard that there was a product that has the same colour, quality etc I was delighted. When I saw the price tag (€5) I was even more delighted. I bought some on ebay and gave it a try. It would be brilliant if I didn't have to spend so much money on tan! Here's my video;

My Favourite Cheap Waist Cinching Belts

I'm loving waist cinching belts at the moment. I have an hour glass body shape (Bust and hips are the same width with a small waist)

I'm currently a UK8, I have quite a long waist so I like to wear thicker belts. I'm quite short (petite is a nicer word!) so adding a belt and heels seems to add height and interest.

Rather oddly all of my favourites are from Primark/Penneys so they are super cheap (between €2 and €4!)
I have quite a collection but here are my favourites:

 

 

 

I love them all equally and wear them to death!

Autumn, what are you wearing?

There's something about this outfit that I love. I don't love any of the individual pieces but I love the over all effect. I had this on my desktop and couldn't stop looking at it! haha It's so warm and cosy :)I think I may try put together a similar look from my own wardrobe. (since I won't be paying £950 for the Chloe dress!!)

What are you wearing for Autumn?
