But thanks to some gentle persuasion from a friend, I decided to do a little post here and there. Life is still as hectic as ever. In the past 12 months, I've actually stuck at this job, finally bagged myself a Training Contract, been to HK and back...and also calmed down a little bit in terms of beauty products splurging. It's time now to use some stuff up methinks.<br /><br />Best way I can think of to re-introduce myself is to do a little "What I've been using" tag.</span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" ><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Shampoo </span>- John Freida Luxurious Volume / Radiant Red<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Conditioner</span></span></span> - Again, never really use it but when I do, I use V05 Oils to repair my colour-treated hair<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hair Mask</span> - None<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Styling Products</span> - I use Aveda Pure Abundance Hair Potion / Lee Stafford Matt Stylee My Big Fat Texturised Spray and finishing it off with Tresemme 24 Hour Body Spray<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Body Wash</span> - Tesco's Dupe of Originals' Lemon and Lime Shower Gel<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Moisturiser</span> - Amazingly, I'm still using Body Shop's Coconut Moisturising Spray.

I'm still yet to do a swap with Holly YM (I'm sorry I'm so rubbish with the post) - the 9-5 makes it almost impossible to get to a post office!!<br /><br />Hopefully more posts (more regularly) soon!<br /><br />J xx<br /></span></span>ickleangel96http://www.blogger.com/profile/01013895259117012837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800415094986818161.post-70412192648985778802010-06-23T12:09:00.000-07:002010-06-23T12:38:29.066-07:00In and Out 1<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">OK so I haven't been on here for absolutely ages...or blogged for what feels like years. But rest assured I've not been slacking...my credit card's taken a major battering over the last 10 months. I had been working in Bolton and my journey home usually involved a little de-tour to the Trafford Centre where I discovered Nars, Chanel, MAC, Illamasqua, etc under Selfridges' roof. It was a disaster waiting to happen really.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">But now I've moved jobs back to Liverpool...so far so good...I wanted to pop into MAC after work today at 6.30pm but it was closed. Probably a good thing really!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">But since I've been away for so long, I thought I'd give you an insight into what I'm loving and what's not...! (That sounds horribly cliched...sorry!)</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">In</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"><u>Lovely Summer Weather</u></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">I'm loving the awesome British Summer weather at the moment. My new desk faces out towards the square where 3 sets of offices converge, which makes it the ideal spot for some sneaky lunchtime sunbathing!! It also makes my short walk from the bus stop / car park (depending on my mood!) before and after work slightly more enjoyable!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><u><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">Sports Galore!!</span></u><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">I think I may be a complete paradox but I'm loving the fact that the World Cup and Wimbledon are dominating the TV schedules at the moment! I've been brought up well by my dad and absolutely LOVE watching most sports! The World Cup gives almost ANYBODY a great excuse to socialise...case in point, I left the office for 2 hours this afternoon to watch the England game! Absolutely awesome afternoon-drinking!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">C'MON ENGLAND!!! P.S. I think I become a bit of a football hooligan whenever an England, Liverpool or Leicester game is on the telly! Haha</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><u><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">Boots 17 Mirror Shine Lipstick in Beehive</span></u><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">I had to trek round 3 Boots in town to find this but I have to say it's definitely worth it. It's the only lipstick I've found so far where I don't need to wear a base coat of a true nude to have the desired nude pink effect!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">I love teaming this up with Bobbi Brown Lipgloss in Pink Nude. I got this at CCO a couple weeks ago in a Compact rather than with the horrible BB Lipgloss applicator!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><u><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">MAC Well Dressed Blush</span></u><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">I've re-discovered this blush recently...it's a perfect blush which is subtle but really pretty at the same time. I like wearing this to work for understated glamour. I also like pairing this with Dior Highlighter LE - I think it's called Diamond Pop?</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><u><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">Clean and Simple Make-Up</span></u><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">You might have guessed but I'm really loving experimenting with make-up to achieve the perfect 'natural' look and my summer FOTD seems to be flawless skin (see below >.<), pretty blush and a nude / baby pink lip.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">OUT</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"><u>Horrible Skin</u></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">I seem to be going through a phase where my skin hates me! I blame it on hormones but in reality it's a combination of things...inconsistent skincare, late nights, lack of water...you get the idea! So I'm on the lookout for a good combination of skincare, I seem to have accumulated so much rubbish over the years and I need a skin care that works and I can just stick to!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"><u>Foundation Incompatability</u></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">If you look in my bottom drawer of my makeup tower, you'll find an array of foundations / tinted moisturiers / BB creams, etc. I can't seem to find ONE that I love all-year round...especially in this hotter weather and with my grotesque skin!! Suggestions? See if you can find one I haven't yet tried!! Hehe.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><u><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">Career Frustrations</span></u><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">You may not know where I am at the moment in my career, I don't think I've talked about it before. I finished my Legal Practice Course nearly a year ago and I've been on the search for a Training Contract ever since then. I've been very blessed with an amazing firm that's given me a shed-load of experience, and now at a National firm getting even more experience. Don't get me wrong, I'm REALLY grateful for a job but I WANT A TRAINING CONTRACT. So when I get home from 7 hours in front of the computer, I log on my laptop and apply for more jobs! IT SUCKS!! OK...deep breath...rant over!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">OK...need to go food shopping and then catch the 2nd half of Germany v Ghana.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">P.S. Did anyone catch the 54 + game thriller at Wimbledon today? EPIC!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">xx</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span>ickleangel96http://www.blogger.com/profile/01013895259117012837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800415094986818161.post-76256576199053561072010-01-13T11:00:00.000-08:002010-01-13T11:37:33.034-08:00What I'm Using Right Now...<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">I thought this might be a good way to catch up with you guys...those who still read this anyways...and let you know what I'm using right now!

I know I haven't been on here for a while but I still follow the blogs and keep lemming after various things. So let me tell you a little bit about what I've been up to.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"><strong>WORK</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;">I've been in my new job for about 6 months now. The work experience I'm getting here is fantastic but my commute is getting me more than down. So I'm looking into options...either I move nearer to there or I find a job nearer to me. Either way, I know something's gotta change..I spent 4 hours in the car on Tuesday attempting to get to work. The combination of a 38 mile journey and 'adverse weather conditions' just isn't a good idea!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;">CLOTHES</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;">One nice thing about work is the ability to dress smartly...I'm loving my black wool A-line skirt with some silk blouses and a thin belt to break the line up :) I also have invested in a couple of gorgeous dresses (one from Coast and one from Monsoon - both in the SALE) which will double up as work dresses and evening outfits :)</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;">I'm also seeking a pair of grey platforms...tried a pair on in New Look but they're ridiculously high so I would never been able to walk around in them! Any suggestions?</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;">MAKE-UP</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;">So the most important item on the agenda...!</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;">I had a bit of a skin dilemma a couple of months ago and even though I had steered clear of any moisture in foundation, I found that my mattifying ones just too drying and so I used this little baby constantly for a couple of weeks :)</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 143px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 127px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425090572869590562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD0GiMAlhSUk7x_ufi1tIukRDrFxeAG7AF1ESMOdVQNCaUn53DkCX7xgNSG_7B2PoIg1NWQnTdyobylDtAUZP86aVkPaoBrtsa-7RPy8TrKEVPAiHCqSDJOqI5NAM0MCjaea5FYQEPVIQ/s200/BB+foundation.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">It's a great little foundation to use when the weather gets this cold and your skin needs a little burst of moisture throughout the day. The only complaint I have is that it's not as long-lasting as say the Dior Forever foundation.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;">Talking of Dior...I'm waiting on the Nude Sculpting Powder and Concealer to come out mid-January. It looks amazing and I hope that it'll compliment the Nude Foundation that I have already. Realistically I'm gonna have to wait until payday as I've just surveyed my bank balance!!!</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;">Lip-wise I'm loving the YSL Rouge Volupte in 001 and 002...a true nude and a nudey-pink. It makes all my other lip-glosses possible. I'm also loving MAC Plushglass...they smell amazing and there are some lovely nude colours to go on top.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;">I hope that's sufficiently updated you guys. I miss blogging and I will try and update more often this year! Lots of love...J xx</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;">PS What were your finds of 2009?? xx</span></p>ickleangel96http://www.blogger.com/profile/01013895259117012837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800415094986818161.post-65894225459197042212009-08-06T15:14:00.000-07:002009-08-06T15:22:46.265-07:00The Work Challenge...<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I'm SO sorry I've been MIA for so long...!!<br /><br />I've just started my new job at a solicitors and have upcoming interviews for a training contract too so it's finally looking up on the careers-side!!<br /><br />Now I have started work, my quest is on for a everyday routine that stays the distance and doesn't look too made up.

It also means the prospect of being unemployed!!<br /><br />So the things I'm looking forward to this Summer:<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">my Birthday</span></li><li><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">a trip to Alton Towers</span></li><li><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">starting a new job SOMEWHERE in the UK</span></li><li><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">potentially going to Arizona for a week to see friends</span></li><li><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Barn Dance with my Uni friends</span></li><li><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Garden Parties and various BBQs throughout the Summer</span></li><li><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">my friends being home</span></li></ul><span style="font-family: times new roman;"></span> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">My biggest dilemmas will be what to wear for said parties. It needs to be practical, girlie, sexy and comfortable at the same.

What do I think?<br /><br />Well as I've only worn it for a day, I can't really give a full review BUT so far so good. I thought I might have got the wrong colour but I think I may just need to apply less possibly. For reference I bought Shade 031.<br /><br />I had an exam today and even though I felt oily, when I checked in the mirror after a gruelling 2 and a half hours, my T-zone wasn't an oil-slick as I thought it would be.<br /><br />I nearly went and bought the Clinique Blendable Face Powder but reasoned that I have the Bobbi Brown Loose Powder which works JUST as well!<br /><br />For an even lighter look, I might work the Tinted Moisturiser again with my Dior Forever Powder Foundation which I bought last year. I'll let you know how it goes.<br /><br />Might catch a nap before continuing on this revision malarky!!! Ta-ra xxxx<br /></span>ickleangel96http://www.blogger.com/profile/01013895259117012837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800415094986818161.post-22609910085889918702009-06-02T11:59:00.000-07:002009-06-02T12:04:31.366-07:00Drugstore Skincare Challenge<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">So I've been thinking recently whether there's really any need to splash out so much money on High-End skin care when Drugstore (and Purse-friendly) brands have been so good to my clear-complexioned friends. And I've decided to try the theory out...<br /><br />So this month, I've stopped using all my Clinique stuff and am sticking to Neutrogena and I'll let you know how I've been getting on later this month.<br /><br />It's exam-time which means crazy-skin anyways so it's OBVIOUSLY the perfect time to try something like this out. Haha.<br /><br />For your reference I'll be using the Visibly Clear Spot Stress Control and Oil-Free range. There are so many nice products in this line. Including a Gel-like Moisturiser and a Non-oily Make-up remover which are 2 of my favourite skincare products!!<br /><br />What are your favourite Drugstore Branded Skincare Products?<br /><br />Take Care xx<br /></span>ickleangel96http://www.blogger.com/profile/01013895259117012837noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800415094986818161.post-74893055347768239272009-05-06T12:39:00.000-07:002009-05-06T12:42:24.325-07:00I have no self-control...<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">I think the title explains it all really...</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">...Against all reason, I went shopping today at the CCO and New Look so you can imagine the damage.

And do you know what I found...? That a lot of the blushers I do have are quite similar in colour!! >.< Oops.<br /><br />So maybe I shouldn't get the Well-Dressed Blusher?? Though I do seem to be missing a mid-pink..I have baby-pink (MAC Pink Swoon), 'IN YOUR FACE' pink (Bobbi Brown Apricot), a dirty pink (Bobbi Brown Desert Pink) and various nudes / corals / peaches (WAAY to many to mention!). Maybe that's a hole I should fill?! hehe.<br /><br />What's a girl to do, eh? If you wanna see any of the blushers, please let me know!! xx<br /></span></span>ickleangel96http://www.blogger.com/profile/01013895259117012837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800415094986818161.post-90328543819933387842009-04-30T15:26:00.000-07:002009-04-30T15:33:23.755-07:00Challenge Time...<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">If there was ONE product you could recommend for me this month, what would it be??<br /><br />My bank balance has JUST about recovered, as I got an injection of money today.

The last month has been hectic work-wise, but it hasn't meant that I've neglected my makeup..rather the opposite!! I'm particularly skint at the moment so I'm joining lollipop26 in her Project 10 Pan and re-discovering some old favourites and also experimenting with my new loves.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">IN<br /></span>Bobbi Brown - my biggest expenditure the last couple of months, especially loving the TM and concealer<br />MAC Margin Blusher - it's a great everyday blusher<br />Sunny weather - I'm loving the early summer / late spring we're finally having<br />Memory Lane - having been to Leicester this weekend, it's made me appreciate friends I've made along the way<br />Long Cardigans - I seem to wearing these with every outfit but they're so comfortable and so versatile!!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">OUT<br /></span>Lack of Money - I'm beginning to resent my student-status and looking forward to a steady income<br />Distance - I miss the closeness of everything in Hong Kong, you wouldn't have 2 + hours trips<br />Search for the perfect lip product - still haven't found it yet (see next post =D)<br />Bad skin - my skin still won't stabilise and I'm starting to get impatient >.<<br />Missing my friends - they're too spread out all over the country / world for me to see them regularly<br /><br />xx<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span>ickleangel96http://www.blogger.com/profile/01013895259117012837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800415094986818161.post-80034331394258622492009-03-17T06:54:00.000-07:002009-03-17T07:01:20.517-07:00Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Sorry I've been missing for a little while...just getting started on the new modules now. And I'm desperately trying to save money to move out later this year!<br /><br />Anyways, I got some samples from Estee Lauder the other day for their Double Wear foundation. I initially wanted the Light formulation but there isn't as much choice in relation to shade. I got matched at 2 different stands and got 2 different shades...mmm! Interesting. So tell me guys, have you had bad experiences getting matched at stands?<br /><br />I have oriental skin which isn't well catered for in the drugstore foundation ranges - the tones are too rosy or golden whilst my skin has a yellow undertone. I thought I had hit jackpot last summer with prescriptives but it's too dark for these spring months, maybe when it gets a bit warmer!!<br /><br />What's YOUR experience with counter-top foundations v drugstore foundation? Would love to hear from you xxx<br /></span></span>ickleangel96http://www.blogger.com/profile/01013895259117012837noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800415094986818161.post-54197288630574239202009-03-04T16:34:00.000-08:002009-03-04T16:49:12.198-08:00What I'm using right now...<span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I'm always like 3 weeks behind but I blame those exams for sucking my life away!!</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Shampoo</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> -

As you know I had my compulsory exams all week last week...it was the most stressful week ever. Who thought it would've been a good idea to cram 5 exams into 5 days! My last exam was over 3 hours long! CRAZINESS!<br /><br />After the exam we headed to the pub and sat in there for a good 2 - 3 hours before heading home. Some of the boys from Leicester were up in Liverpool that night so I went round to theirs for a couple of drinks before calling it a night.<br /><br />Leeds this weekend was *ahem* interesting. As I said on twitter, it was like having a front row seat and knowing what guys get up to on a lads' night out. I can't bear to divulge what went on but it was partly horrifying but mostly entertaining. We stayed in Leeds overnight and headed straight to Wetherspoons in the morning...for 6 HOURS!! Me and Sarah felt disgusting but appreciated the banter!! haha.<br /><br />This weekend I'm off to Sheffield to see my lovely ex-housemates. One of them has just got engaged so I can't wait to see the ring, another is off travelling very soon so it'll be sad to say goodbye for a while!!! I've missed these girls a lot so this weekend will be fun...and a lot more civilised without the boys!! haha.<br /><br />xx<br /></span>ickleangel96http://www.blogger.com/profile/01013895259117012837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800415094986818161.post-84084320522154833412009-02-25T09:27:00.000-08:002009-02-25T09:47:49.193-08:00Recent Hauls No. 3...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMp7QCh4DtifQEXPguMpBvchyWQ4XY7HdpV_oY-5LlZXl0_xhQLbUKjmozGWFbXIvyX-Hs2X5B-P8srQUmuM-rgMGeq5TGlbhb2-jYpNwel7iqcNUs3otzQgDN4KlKTA4y3IVc0JOHhjI/s1600-h/CIMG5012.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMp7QCh4DtifQEXPguMpBvchyWQ4XY7HdpV_oY-5LlZXl0_xhQLbUKjmozGWFbXIvyX-Hs2X5B-P8srQUmuM-rgMGeq5TGlbhb2-jYpNwel7iqcNUs3otzQgDN4KlKTA4y3IVc0JOHhjI/s200/CIMG5012.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306788692433404866" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">After my FIRST exam last week I had already had enough so I popped into the big Boots on the way home and picked up some more goodies. As well as stopping off at the Cosmetics Company store and checking out what lovely items they had!!<br /><br />I got a Too-Faced Eyeshadow in Vixen which is a Dark Purpley-Blue with Shimmer. It's an OK shadow...find the Bobbi-Brown and MAC shadows easier to work with despite them both being about the same price!! On the Too-Faced theme, I finally got the Retractable Kabuki which i LOVE!! It was perfect for my weekend away. I also got the Pink Leopard Bronzer...lovely pinky-bronze!! Though I'm not very fond of the packaging...would have rather had the plastic casing!! The brush it comes with is HORRIBLE!! Never using that!!<br /><br />Also picked up the 24-7 Concealer Stick...really really creamy but not sure whether I got the right colour!!<br /><br />OOohh..I spotted PURE Cosmetics and came away with a Kajal liner in Black. Its very handy to have in my bag during the day. I love the lipstick-like packaging! Not great staying power but still very nice.<br /><br />Talking of staying power, I spotted the Coco Bar Liquidlast in Cosmetics Company Store and bought that. On a daily basis, my eyeliner slips half-way down my cheek so having this on was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! I also picked up a Lustreglass in Ensign which will be a present for my bessie friend when I see her this weekend. It's a gorgeous girlie pink which will suit her mightily!!<br /><br />A couple of other things I picked up that I have to rave about:<br />(a) STUDIO TECH in NC27....my HG foundation. I was a bit unsure about this when I went into MAC but OMD it's amazing match and also so simple to apply. It was in my purse constantly this weekend so I didn't need to lug so much stuff around with me!<br /><br />(b) Bobbi Brown Blush in APRICOT....this is my go-to blusher for the day at the moment. It's shockingly pink in the pan but because of the peachy undertones, it really brightens up the look!<br /><br />(c) Estee Lauder Double-Wear Concealer in LIGHT 02...I had this in Light Medium over the summer but it's too dark. My concealer of choice this weekend. I really like the consistency of it and it's really easy to work with.<br /><br />(d) MAC Lipgelee in SLICKED PINK...this was a lot more peachy than it looked on swatches. But really glad I got this as it's a gorgeous everyday colour!<br /><br />(e) MAC Eyeshadow in MAGNETIC FIELDS...when I got home I realised this is very similar to Black Plum from Bobbi Brown but it's still a really nice smokey-eye colour to have in your palette!!<br /><br />I think that's it...phew!! xx<br /></span></span>ickleangel96http://www.blogger.com/profile/01013895259117012837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800415094986818161.post-33100470607506139732009-02-25T09:10:00.000-08:002009-02-25T09:27:11.732-08:00Recent Hauls No. 2...<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Me and mum had a very girlie day where we went shopping and had a lovely lunch at Harbour City in town.

I smeared it on my red spots and in the morning they'd calmed down already!! Just place a towel over your pillow to minimise any stains!! haha.<br /><br />But I haven't really tried out the Turnaround Serum or City Block enough yet to comment but I'll let you know.<br /><br />For my skin-care routine, I'll alternate between the Anti-Blemish range and the normal range. I am finding that the Anti-Blemish range moisturisers aren't really good enough for the winter months and I'm having to lather on moisturisers daily and nightly!!<br /><br />Again, not really tried Bio-Oil yet. I was hoping to try this on my spot-scars. Can you do that or too risky??<br /></span></span>ickleangel96http://www.blogger.com/profile/01013895259117012837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800415094986818161.post-60202671527800988832009-02-25T08:58:00.000-08:002009-02-25T09:46:54.691-08:00Recent Hauls No. 1...<span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I know I've been MIA for a couple of weeks but there's so much I wanna share with you guys!!

I got a couple of Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash Eyeshadows in Pink Gold (soft pinky colour perfect for the lid) and Black Plum (perfect for a smokey eye - a dark dark brown with gold shimmer).<br /><br />There were also some MAC Mineralize Trios which I got in Heat Element (Bronze / Gold) and Bright Side Gallery Gal (Neutral Shimmer and Dark Duck Green). I also got Femme-Fi from the Neo Sci-Fi collection - I've been using this pretty much everyday. It's a great base colour!!<br /><br />I got 2 x Ms Makeup Foundation and Concealer brushes. They're OK but not as soft as MAC obviously. It does the job though. Having said that I like using fingers for the Studio Sculpt Foundation at least.<br /><br />Last couple of items I got the Carex Hand Sanitiser and the Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara. I haven't really used the Mascara enough to make a judgement - I'd heard so much I had to give it a go!!<br /><br />There's my first haul post...I do love these eyeshadows. Particularly Femme-Fi...it's much less shimmery than Retrospeck so it's a close HG product for me!!<br /><br />Look out for the next one!! xxx<br /></span></span>ickleangel96http://www.blogger.com/profile/01013895259117012837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800415094986818161.post-20711630465374313352009-02-23T08:54:00.000-08:002009-02-23T08:55:44.108-08:00I'M BACK!!!<span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I've finally finished exams and the obligatory celebrations so over the next few days I'll update you on my recent hauls (shopping de-stresses me!!) and new finds!!<br /><br />Hope you've all been keeping well!<br /><br />xx<br /></span></span>ickleangel96http://www.blogger.com/profile/01013895259117012837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800415094986818161.post-39628425328034997212009-02-12T17:42:00.000-08:002009-02-12T17:48:15.551-08:00HOLIDAY...<span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Yeh I WISH I WAS GOING ON HOLIDAY!! It actually means that I'll be away from Blogspot and Twitter for the next week or so whilst I get these compulsory exams out of the way. Apparently life gets easier after this...I HOPE SO!!<br /><br />I have some major hauls to share with you. But thought I'd let you know this first.<br /><br />I bought the new MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation and Concealer in NC30 tried it once or twice and thought it was just too dark. Went back the other day just asking to be properly matched up again...the result?? I get to take mine back and have it swapped?? Never thought that it would have been possible!!

But it has to be used with another product...and as suggested I paired it up with slightly darker glosses. Namely my Lipgelees...I know I posted them on Swapsies but I may rescind the offer if that's OK?!?! SORRY!! They go perfectly with my Creme d'Nude! New Love!!<br /><br />I also went back to MAC today to pick up 3 more items...namely -<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Eyeshadow in <span style="font-style: italic;">Mulch</span> which is an intense golden reddish brown flecked with golden bronze shimmer (Velvet)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Lipgelee in <span style="font-style: italic;">Slicked Pink</span></span></li><li><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Powerpoint Pencil in <span style="font-style: italic;">Stubborn Brown</span></span></li></ul><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I've still got another haul or two to share with you so I'll do that on my revision break tomorrow!! In the meantime, I have a couple of questions...<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">What's the best DEEP BROWN shadow shade? I've looked on MAC and I want them all!!</span></li><li><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">What's the best eyeliner for waterline? I'm trying everything and I still look like a panda by the afternoon!! This is like my life-long mission...SOMEONE HELP!!</span></li></ul><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Till then lovelies...xx</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><br /></span>ickleangel96http://www.blogger.com/profile/01013895259117012837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800415094986818161.post-76197631883429415092009-02-06T15:59:00.000-08:002009-02-06T16:02:42.584-08:00Nude Lips...<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" >I went to MAC today to get the new Foundation and Concealer.
