I heart Poundland...

My dad sent me some pennies for my birthday, I have been hanging onto it! I stopped in to just get some cotton wool...and alas...loads of Sally Hansen...weee .. I love Sally hansen especially the Hard as nails, Maximum growth and New lengths one..the older the better!!!

Weee... amazing , considering on ebay they would of cost $1.99 (The SALON line more like $3.99)plus another $3.50 postage, I got a right bargain

These are
SALON -Shooting star
New Lengths - Mauve Marathon
HARD AS NAILS Xtreme wear - Hot Yellow
Maximum Growth - Orchid

Chuffed with this little lot!! Cant remember the last time I bought 4 at once, but they are presents - so thanks Dad!!

Uk gals..don't underestimate a good rummage in Poundland..its not all crusty old Revlons!!

Etude house polish coming up next...

Too too tired...so Sheet masks n chitter chatter!

Sure you guys all understand those nights...when keeping upright is a challenge!! Have been chilling out, drinking tea... listening to music bits.. ashamed to say I found THIS...and I enjoyed it..the shame!!

Anyhoo a bit about the My Beauty Diary masks

I get mine from Evilbay for $9 plus FREE SHIPPING from Hong Kong, this is a pack of 5... you can get 10 for $15 with free shipping.. but I wanted to give them a good go first before buying loads!

They come in loads of varieties, really you need to pick one for your skin type or skin goals... I chose the White Pearl for lightening pigmentation, brightening skin.. and it does what it promises! Not only noticed my marks faded but skin smooth, blackheads vanished and cystic...GONE.. Any horrid under skin lurkers are vanished after this. I would say if you have SENSITIVE.. and I mean truly sensitive skin not to use the White Pearl (or Black pearl).

Here's a few of the types and what they are for:

• Lavender mask - soothes sensitive skin, Contains Vit C, Arnica & St Johns wort - Claims to relieve stress and moisturise
• Cooling mask -Witch hazel, arnica, Menthol,Peppermint & Callendula - Cools, soothes and nourishes skin
• Sake yeast mask - Sake yeast, plant collagen -Whitening, firming and Moisturising
• Apple mask - Smoothing, moisturising, improves appearance of pores- contains Hyaluronic acid
• Red wine mask - Anti- ageing primarily

This gives you some idea, but there are OOOODLES..of types of these; Aloe, Chocolate, White rose & some limited edition ones also.. pretty much one for any skin problem/type

I got a Yogurt one to sample from my prize... think I will order the Aloe or Cooling ones next for when my skin needs a calm down... am so s chuffed with them. Think once a week treatment is plenty for these, same as any other mask or hardcore treatment!!

Now they can feel a bit claustrophobic at first being a sheet mask, you just place it on firmly..and lie back in the tub or wherever!! HA...Don't try to sit up..these are drenched in serum..it will get in your eyes and hurt like hell!!!Leave 15-30 minutes... remove and massage all the serum in. Following this slather on a rich face cream...et Voila, the next morning you will have skin of an angel!!

Bit of a rave... will have to reveal said fabulous skin after all this banter lol.. really am chuffed as I was thinking I would need to save for laser to get rid of one last acne scar...its nearly gone now!!

On an unrelated.. my BFF was on tele tonight on the 5 o clock show dancing with her awesome dance troupe Babybliss.. Well done Babe, you were sooo awesome!! You can check out some of their stuff here....if your into Bellydancing(which of course I am!!) :-)

Ooo.. I got my temporary foundation...till I am ready to go high end... Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid in Cocoa.. I am prrraaaying this does the trick...it claims to give an airbrushed appearance, and the reviews were good.. fingers crossed its good otherwise I will have to hibernate for four weeks LOL

That's all for now folks..time for bed!!

..Just a few gifts...Lush & HK galore!

Just a few bits I got that were cutee..wont see my family(and BFF) till the end of the week so will get their pressie's then!!

My team had obviously been listening to my Hello Kitty droning lol.. A Surprise hello kitty box and bag lol so cute.. a little poster, all kinds of sweets and stickers... my law notes will now have hello kitty on lol

Mate from work got me Season 2 Diary of a call girl ( I heart Billie Piper) .. sooo chuffed, gonna have a wee watch of that one in bed tonight!

From my lovely hunny got some Lush bits and some make up.. Demon in the dark ..mmmm Peppermint and Clove, smells divine!! and finally my very own Lemony flutter, yay!! ...it smells so good hello kitty wants some LOL - She came in the surprise box lol

Got a bit of a bumper week ahead, tonnes of legal research to do...arrg.. tearing my hair out already but was determined to have 1 relaxed weekend, not even pick up a pen!!

Wonder if any of you lovelies can help... am thinking am going to get SLEEK Creme to Powder foundation to tide me over for a month then going to invest in some decent foundation... Options so far - Bobbi Brown Long lasting foundation OR Oil free foundation OR Powder foundation... Nars Sheer Matte, Nars Sheer Glow OR MAC - Try the normal non-mineral ( I am SOO Scared of getting cystic acne from it though) ... any suggestions or reviews would be fab.. I have spent many hours trawling through reviews and...still confused!!

Whilst on the topic of skincare.. have been using the My Beauty Diary mask the White peal one and wow... my skin is improving so much, blackheads clearing and most important to me scars fading, HURRAH!! Well worth the £5!

Anyways, I need to scoot!

TTFN lovelies xoxo

Birthday manicure

Well I finally went for Nubar Teal glitter, this is gorgeous!! Its wet, windy and overcast right now, so these were the best snaps I could get!

In the sunshine its insane!!!!

Weee having a lovely day so far, thanks for the emails & cards lovelies :-)


Will probably photograph goodies in the morning, but I did pick up some lovely trimmings...fancy doing some Japanese inspired nail art..how gorgeous are these...Drooolies..cant wait to play with these!



Anyways... time for pampering and cocktails a plenty

HT meets Baby's breath.... its angelic!

Yes... I saw this on MUA a few weeks back and it looked KICK ASS.. so... here we go..HT over white...I love love love it!


Had an awesome day at work today, came in to loads of cards and presents, so so sweet(thanks guys at work!!)!! I will photograph all the Hello kitty goodness and so forth tomorrow lol


Popped into Primarni(Primark to non-UK ers lol).. picked up this looovely ring, £1.50 ..bargain!! So many lush things in there, may pop back!! Also got a jegging stretchy mini skirt... lovely £4!!..I do think their sizing is a bit off though...hmm.. I would say I am a large 8 on the bottom (US 4) ... But I always need an 8 in there..10 means baggy knee syndrome(Some friends may say this is my small knee syndrome rather than the clothes!)... perhaps they are vanity sizing LOL I think so!!

Thats all for now lovelies
