Lady Million Paco Rabanne Lipstick Review.

Okay so to clarify first, this is the free gift you got when you brought the Paco Rabanne Lady Million Eau Toilette.
So i went into Boot's to find some hair colour remover and they had a massive box of a 'lucky dip' for 50p and i could see various items on the top which looked worth it, so brought like £3.50 worth, coz yakno, I'm like that and I got a diesel t-shirt,this Paco Rabanne lipstick, a make-up kit, a summer nude eye shadow pallet and a Hugo boss shower gel.
The things i was most pleased about was the lipstick, t-shirt and shower gel. The lipstick was obviously a free gift from the perfume but i haven't seen it been sold anywhere else, and for 50p to be honest i don't think i should complain. The T-shirt is a diesel shirt obviously and I've seen diesel shirts sold between £15 and £35 so again can't complain. The shower gel i have also been selling for around £20 so all in all, i can't complain about any of the products i brought.
I thought i would write some reviews on a couple of my products such as the lipstick and the shower gel. I thought I'd  choose those products because 1- I really like both of them and 2- one is female orientated and  the other is male so then i have a fair review on my blog.
Okay so this lipstick has the most amazing casing i have seen for a lipstick. This maybe because i am a lipstick 'virgin' [i really hardly wear lipstick, i love lip balms more] or just the fact i get excited over anything that is shining. The lipstick comes in this golden shiny case with a draw type thing which the lipstick is encased in. The actual lipstick case is a gold metal case with 'lady million' engraved into the front and it's a really good size to keep in a makeup bag or just in a bag. It seem like it will be hard wearing and wont break if it is at the bottom of your bag.
Opening the lipstick you get this sweet fruit aroma wafting out.  I'm not sure what the perfume smells like but from the smell of the lipstick I'm guessing it's a very very similar or virtually the same smell as the perfume. I think that this lipstick will be perfect for the summer. It is a nude colour but it has sparkles in it which will give you lips a shimmery, cute look.
The swatch i made on my hand is just like adding a body shimmer on. The lipstick is very sheer and doesn't feel like you are wearing anything. I would compare it to a lip balm which i really look for in a lipstick.
I would defiantly recommend looking out for this lipstick if it is ever out on general sale. I have seen the perfume on sale between £30 and £60 but I'm not sure if they are giving the lipstick away.
All in all i think it's a really nice lipstick and it would be something that i would of paid money for.

Let the sun shine.

So it's 'summer', it is boiling and the smell of BBQ's and sun cream hangs thick in the air!

I haven't posted in a while but I thought well, GCSE's are coming to a close and summer is way upon us.
The sun is absolutely boiling my poor fair skin, anyone with fair skin and are ginger will understand the curse of the sun! I think my summer must have this year is sun cream fo' sho' and moisturiser, and plus various make-up that wont make me look like I'm part of the house of wax. My biggest fear at the moment is getting burnt. It is the absolute worst thing to ever happen! And unfortunately, living in Brighton you can't help but go on the beach or sit in the garden sunning yourself.
So the Olympics is already annoying me;
1- Way to much effort and advertisement goes into it.
2- Brighton pride was made to move due to the Olympics being on!
3- Rugby is not a sport played in the Olympics!
I do like the Olympics but when it's not in this country. Being held in London is just a nightmare. Transport is going to be jammed and the TV will be bunged up with athletes and every other word from peoples mouths will be 'Olympics'. I give all respect to any athletes that compete in the Olympics because is does take so much to get into it  and i have any time in the world for any athlete.

During the summer, I will defiantly be blogging and filming alot more.

Happy Summer

Just a quick hi there and hello<3

So sitting on my bed at 9:30pm Wednesday evening,thinking oh I havent posted on my blog in a while or made another video. WELL! I need to change, I made a decision, I shall aim to post or make a video AT LEAST once a week.
Things that have happened ATM..... Gcse's are coming to an end finally and a 3month summer is slowly creeping up,which means sunny weather and alo lot of posting and whateves.
The weather has been less than perfect. Within Brighton we have a day of beautiful sun then three days of rain and wind and just bleh.
I have plans for various videos that will hopefully be made within the next month! and that's a promise!
I will also do my shoe and bag collection because I have tones! And they are various designers :) and also once my room is complete an fully decor rated 1-can film in my room an 2-room tour ;)
As for this blog I shall bid you farewell and I will defiantly be posting more and filming more :)
Much love <3

Barry M-touch of magic lip paint review.

So today I brought the Barry M touch of magic lip paint and I love it! I thought I'd write a short review of it after the first day.
So I've seen it on YouTube and Leanne Woodfull did a pale skin video and she said it was really good.
This lip paint is green when you first get it then you apply it,it turns you lips into a natural pink colour. Over today I have applied about three times only because it slightly faded and I like quite vibrant colours. Each time I applied it,the lipstick became more vibrant and became a hot pink. The lip stick is very hard wearing, it doesn't fade much when you eat or drink,and doesn't leave any marks on people,clothing,objects whatever!
One thing I hate about some lipsticks or lipglosses is when you drink through a straw and all the colour comes off on the straw. It's not attractive and you get a pale line down the middle of you lips. But with this lipstick it does not budge!
Even with it being oh so moistering after a while my lips have become abit dry but I applied the tiniest bit of vasaline and it's back to luscious lips!
After today, I will defiantly keep on using this most days! I would highy recommended this product!

Big girls,you are beautiful!

I am such a fashion junkie! I love anything from jeans to jerseys,pearls to peeptoe. Gimme any amount of money and I'll buy clothes with it.
I am a 'plus size' girl in the fashion world. I am a size 12-14, and I'm happy with it! I know I am actually smaller than the average dress size in the UK,which is a 16, I understand it is only a couple of dress sizes but every little helps.
Me and probably every 'plus size' girl out there feels pressured by the media,shop models and catwalk couture to look a certain way;straight up and down size 2-8. This is not right! To me,I look at the catwalk models and I think they look ill! I understand that designers want to show off the clothes and not the model,but some of the items look swamping on the models and end up look ridiculous on the runway.
I'm not saying that being a size 2-8 straight up and down isn't right because if your born like that and that's how your body is then that's fine but when it gets to the point of model agency's telling a model,say size 8, that she needs to lose weight. This is not right! The point I want to get across is that;it doesn't matter how big,small,tall or short you are, you are still beautiful and you don't need to change for anyone.
