Hey guys,

A lil update on why I have been MIA. VERY MIA!

First of all, you all know iv been working 9til5 everyday and weekends is when I can finally have some 'me' time. The past week has been hectic. I am physically drained >_<

Thankfully this weekend its the bank holiday weekend! another day for me to catch up on some much needed beauty sleep AND some catching up with my blog and YT. A video is uploading as I type =D

Lip Combo of the week

Every week I will be doing a lip combo post. This is me trying to make an effort to use more of my lipsticks/lipglosses. Combined I have over 100 lip products yet I tend to stick to the 3-4 shades.

Each week I will experiment with a different Lipstick and Gloss combo and share it with you guys.

Here is my first one =)

Everyday for the past week I have been wearing MACs Angel with Canmakes Nudy Glow in Strawberry Whip.

It gives a really nice creamy baby pink finish which suits most looks, Its also super wearable without looking overly sticky.

What lip combo have you been sporting lately?

Swap Goodies.....

A few weeks ago I did a swap with Grace from graciousglamours. She is incredibly sweet and adorable. There was some problems with custom charges because it was all the way from singapore but she was so understanding =)

First of all the package that arrived was huge, I was like whoa! Once I opened it there was lots of little boxes bursting with products! she must of went way over budget, Im currently in the process of sending her a 2nd package as a thank you =)

Im just gonna whizz through the pictures because she sent me so much, I would be here forever if I were to go into detail with them all ^_^

One of the boxes it came in was so cute, it had my name on it! so thoughtful girl ^^

She also wrote me a really sweet letter and little notes, Grace is super thoughtful, she wrote descriptions and little notes on each product, superrrrr sweet!

Onto the products:

Shiseido Majolica Majorca Mascara / Kiss eye make up remover (apparently this removes the most stubborn mascara!)

Update

Its been too long.......

I apologize for my lack of posts, videos, updates and tweets! >_<

Just a lil update on what's been going on in my life. As you all may well know I graduated last month. For those who always ask me on FB and formspring, I did a Fashion Design Degree. I spent my time applying for jobs during the last month and it paid off. I got a offer.

I know some of you will ask me what I do as I get tons of questions on Formspring asking me what I do, am I a student? what do I study? if not where do I work etc... Im not going to disclose where I work as its inappropriate but I am a Assistant Designer. It means assisting the head designer in designing garments for high street retailers like Topshop, River Island, Oasis etc... I have to design, create specs, liaise with the factorys and buyers and create garments suitable to their customer. It is VERY hard work I must admit but the perks of the job is seeing everything before it goes into the shops and tomorrow I will be purchasing a leather jacket designed by my head for £15, it retails in the high st shop at £150! BARGAIN!

so yeh, lots of hard work, no sleep and constant headaches. I have also broken out too due to the stress, I only started last week! >_<

So this is where all my time has gone. I leave the house at 7:30am and get home at 7pm Mon-Fri, It is physically draining me out and sometimes I even forget to have lunch because I have so much to do =_= Hopefully this explains why I haven't been updating more often, but don't worry, weekends are all about making videos and posts! =) I have slowly accumulated a rather large haul during the past few weeks, video? =D

Im also moving houses this coming Sunday, say bye to the Pink room! hehe ^^

Sleek Circus....

As much as I love the sleek palettes I can't help but bash the packaging for the current palette.

Ok , I understand the name of this palette is circus, but honestly this packaging is AWFUL. I personally really hate it, as shallow as it sounds it just doesn't look good sat on the vanity! Its Red, its plastic, its tacky ugh.

Despite the let down packaging, the shadows never fail to impress. Excellent quality for drugstore standards. Some of the colours are really beautiful..

This palette consists of 10 matte colours and 2 shimmers which is a refreshing change too as Sleek normally jam in the shimmer in most of its palettes...

A light handed swatch of the colours:

Have you got this palette? What do you think of it?

(Disclaimer: This palette was sent to me free for review purposes. However this does not affect my opinion. I am not affiliated with the brand.)

going gaga

Im so feeling this image, especially the hair colour, I need.
