Make-up Swap Anyone?

Hi lovelies :) I've just saw a blog post from the lovely Sara at Passing Fancy, and she tell us that she swapped make-up with a girl from Haiwaii! How exciting!! I'd love to do one of these, so if anyone wants to do it with me please email me! I'd rather you didn't comment and just straight email me please :)

My email is stevie(dot)vincent@wlv.ac.uk

I have so many cute things in mind :) 



By the way I'd be interested in someone from anywhere including the UK :)

7 Deadly Sins of Beauty



So I wasn't really tagged ha! But I wanted to do it anyway, I've seen a few people do these and look fun. Hope you enjoy :)


GREED
What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive?
Inexpensive - Pretty much anything from MUA! If you don't own something from MUA you really need to try the products out. Most things start at just £1. I don't really own many really expensive beauty items. The only thing I spend a lot of money on is my hair and that's because I get hair extensions!

WRATH
What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with? What product has been the hardest to get?
Different coloured eyeliners! I really like them but they don't like me. I mean anything other than black by the way. They look fantastic on other people but I just feel silly with them on - but I'm getting bored of black!

GLUTTONY
What are your most delicious beauty products?
I STILL have some of my Snow Fairy bits left from LUSH which you can still buy on eBay :) I still have some shower gel left, some of the bubble bar wand and the lip tint - which is my ultimate favourite. They all smell amazing!



SLOTH
What beauty product do you neglect due to laziness?
Erm, I don't know if this counts but I'm pretty bad at taking my make up off after a night out! I also have tons of toners and cleansers but can never be bothered with them either!

PRIDE
What beauty product gives you the most self confidence?
This is so hard as I wear so much make up, I would feel naked without any of it on! I feel like s**t when I don't wear any FALSE EYELASHESs so I'd say them lol.

LUST
What attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex?
I'm pretty shallow, I'll admit! I like my man to be good looking with a nice bod - but who doesn't! Their job is also important lol.

ENVY
What items would you most like to receive as a gift?
I would absolutely love some VALENTINO perfume - the one from last months glossy box. It smells lush! Or anything from MAC - easily pleased really :)


Please comment below if you have done this too :)

NOTD - Blue Konad Zebra Print Design

Hi all! I decided to paint my nails today even though it will be took off for my shift tomorrow :( I used Baby Blue Saffron Nail Varnish as a base and used Konad Sky Blue Nail Varnish for the Zebra Print design. It's a bit messy but like I said it's being taken off tonight! And I much prefer it when I do it in Black and White!








This is a good tutorial to follow if you want to re-create the deisgn :)




I'm sure you all know what Konad is by now but if you don't, then keep reading!

Konad is a newish type of Nail Art that allows you to imprint a fun design on your nails and it is super easy to do and really quick too! And I found out you don't have to use Konad just on your nails! So have a go :)

I put some links up the top, but I buy most of my things of eBay - you can also buy a cheaper stamper and scraper kit for like 99p which is exactly the same. I've also noticed the nail polish's and plates are cheaper too! And don't attempt to use normal Nail Varnish instead because already tried it and it doesn't work :)



You can create loads of designs too not just Zebra Print!

Exciting New Nail Trend - Caviar Manicure

How exciting! I have just read a couple of posts introducing the Caviar Manicure by Ciate, so thought I'd do my own, so introducing this fab new 3D Nail polish . . . 





For those of you who have not read about it yet. It's a new 3D 'Nail Kit' by Ciate, which contains 1 nail varnish and some little beads. These are £18 which I think is quite expensive. Keep reading for my cheapo version :) They aren't available to buy yet, but you can preorder here.

They are available in three colours so far. Black pearls, mother of pearl and Rainbow (so cute). 







And how to apply :





So what do you think?

Now personally I couldn't pay £18 for these and wait for them, just look for ' caviar manicure ' on eBay ;) They are £1.99 plus £0.85 postage and are available in more colours! I have ordered the black just to see how I get on with them. I'll post the pic when I have done and hope it looks ok!

Sport Relief - Blogger Blackout - Please Donate

I hope everyone will join me in donating to Sport Relief, even if it's just £1! It's for such a good cause and something I feel passionate about. If I didn't have a family here, I would take my nursing skills over there and help first hand but I can't, but I can do the next best thing and donate!



Thank You :) xxx
