Rings & Things!

Just a little post to show you some of my latest buys, I love picking up little accessories and get lots of nice little bits from places like Primark, Dorothy Perkins & Even my local market and car boots.
Here's some of my recent favourites:








I have to say the little skulls are my favourite i knew i had to have them as soon as i saw them on a little market stall and they only cost £5.
I'm loving leather bracelets too & am on the look out for a nice Cuff from somewhere.
Whats your favourite place to pick up accessories?

 2 Coats

3 Coats

What more can i say :) I Love how it not only adds loads of volume and length but it also really separates and fans out the lashes even with 3 coats. I can't say how it will wear or anything as today is the first time Ive tried it but I'm sure samples will go fast so wanted to give you a heads up asap.

OPI Glitzerland & leopard twist!

Todays post is just to show you the gorgeous OPI shade in Glitzerland.



I added a crackle polish over the top of one nail just to add some interest


It wasn't till afterwards that i noticed how perfectly it matches my River Island Purse :)

I love this colour and the fact that it goes with loads of things. The shimmer is really pretty but not too OTT. I would describe it as a subtle shimmer and expensive gold.
Have you tried this out yet and do you like gold on nails or are you more of a silver girl? xx

Estee Lauder Cooling Eye Illuminator (RAVE REVIEW)

It's not often that i find a product that i immediately adore. But with the Estee Lauder Cooling Eye Illuminator it really was Love at first sight.

To be honest i wouldn't of taken any notice of this product if it wasn't for the Assistant in Estee Lauder who luckily for me decided to show me on one eye how this works:


Estee Lauder make high claims:



Stating that this products helps 3 of our main concerns:

  • Dark circles.
  • Puffiness.
  • Fine lines.
  • First-ever specially contoured, cooling ceramic-tip applicator
  • Instantly, 88% of women saw brighter, more beautiful eyes
  • Use it every day and dark circles appear lighter 

 What did i think?
Well i can honestly say hand on heart that this works better for me than any other brightening eye product that i have tried. It is pricey but its also ticks all the boxes for me in what i want in an eye product. It does everything and more than what i would expect.


The tip of the tube is curved so it fits perfectly around the eye area and it is really cool in temperature so it feels lovely and soothing and cooling as you apply it. The product comes in 2 shades which are tinted. I'm using the lightest one here which is light/medium.

I love the fact that it is literally invisible once blended in so you can wear it with no makeup at all and it makes such a difference.

Take a look at the before, during and end results here:

 I found it takes away puffiness it makes lines look less obvious and it brightens like nothing else Ive tried.
I have used it everyday since i got it and is a life saver when I'm in a rush. I wish the photos did it justice. I would love to know anyone else who has tried this and if so are you just as impressed by this as me ???
