Hey beauties :) Two posts in one day booya..

I just wanted to talk about a few favorites i've had my eye on  for ages. Rimmel day2night mascara has just been reviewed my the famous gossmakeupartist and for me he's just sealed the deal, i really want to try it, I was a little sceptical about it as sooo many said they loved it and to me that's a little bit like following the crowd.. but if its Wayne recommend then its got to be good. If you don't know about him click his name and it will link you to the video I'm referring to.

Perfume  time...  have you smelt this? If you like Vera Wang Princess then you will love this its so rich and sophisticated yet flirty sent.. i would so wear this on a date! ;)

Sleek blush in Pomegranate its just a pretty soft purple colour I'd love get it, as a nice transitional blush into the Autumn months!

Let me know If you've tried any of these ..liked or disliked i wanna know lol?

take care

much love

Colours of the World..Spice up your life.. ♫

Did you like that Spice Girl flash back? :)
Girls I just had to blog about this. In my latest post you'll have known I took a trip up to my uni to hand out cv's and I did a stop of window shopping! I'll be sure to blog about cv's asap IF I have a success story (fingers crossed.) Now if your a fashion addict like me you'll know this summer's Fashion trend was all about BOLD COLOURS, girls throw out your pastel blues because FUCHSIA PINK is all about town :D

THE COLOUR BLOCKING TREND OF 2011  

CELEBRITY FASHION


                                                          ^
Above you can see sexy celebs such as, Kim K and Cheryl Cole
Rocking the brightest orange and purple looks of the season.


HIGH STREET FASHION



                                                        ^
Although here you can see the High Streets take on the trend,
as a more young hip and out there vibe.

If your like me when I first saw this trend I was a bit like..'OH MY GAWDD!! BLUE PANTS?' :O You'll probably have thought only the stars can pull it off or perhaps the popular girl in school, but this is not true, I think if your scared of this look a few statement pieces for your wardrobe wouldn't hurt a bit. Start with small things like handbags or clutches/earrings/belts etc these will make your outfit POP on a night out or even in the day. :)

However I went for shoes.....LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!! Holly jamolly I've never and I mean NEVER had anything like this before, so it's a major first for me. Girls do you have any suggestions for what to wear with these? lol I'm thinking Black or Cream bodycon skirt; With one of the colours out of the shoe in maybe a crop top?..
hmm - time will tell. :)

SIDE VIEW


As I'm starting University this September and freshers week will be the BOMB; I know everyone is going to go all out on fashion. If you don't know already I'm going to a ARTS University which specialises in Fashion and graphics.

Which one am i specialising in? Graphics..why? Because i love it :D
sooo I'm gonna be up against the best..well all the new fashion students anyway! lol

Whilst we we're visitng my uni my Boyfriend Lee and I we're looking around town and He was every so kind and lovely to treat me to these BABIES!! :D As i am JOBLESS ;'( WAAAA. They were £29.99 from this random store called HYPE? :/

Quick bit of info..if you know me you'll know, I'm not the sort of girl who takes gifts lightly from lee as.. 1) He is 26, with his own job, flat and car;  which is payed  for by his hard earned money. His earnings are in no way mine to take!
2) I have worked to earn my own money since the age of 16 and I can still recall the day Mum handed me the news paper, folder the page over on the job section and said
"you get yourself a job and you can pay for the makeup clothes etc now!!'' She pointed to an add for a hair salon - searching for a Saturday girl. 


So i snapped up a neat little job back then, worked there for a year and have had jobs ever since. To me it is the most satisfying thing as a woman to make your own money and spend it/save it or give it to others! BILLS BILLS BILLS ♫; Beyonce spokes person right here! lol  

To cut a long story short I never let lee by me something unless I can pay it back or contribute to it as well (unless its my burrrfday :D then he can go wild, haha only kindding)..

So i exchanged an outfit gift card with him, which had £15 on it. The gift card which was given as a present which i am very greatful for; however any girl will know that £15 doesn't get you far in TOPSHOP, DORTHY PERKINS & MISS SELFRIDGE and knowing me I'd just by the first necklace i saw in TOPSHOP and probably never wear it again because it would go black. But in all honesty I like buying items which are investments, which i can get alot out of and enjoy;and Boyyyyyy these shoes are gonna have a great time!! lol

So I'm getting off track here really sorry people.. Lee spent the gift card on a few V neck tops and a denim shirt.  

                       WAIT!!
        CUT BACK TO THE STARS OF THE POST...

                            THE SHOEEEESS!!!


OK I will admit I had to touch up my legs a little because I'm only HUMAN and shaving HURTS lol No I'm just kidding it wasn't that bad, but still I knew it was there haha. :P
But how good do they look ayy??? ;) The orange makes my feet look more tanned which is always a plus!  

Nowww tell me.. what do you think people? LOVE OR HATE!?! Personally they are my New favorite thing in my wardrobe. Their so Bright and Colourful, I think they certainly depict the new chapter in my life that's coming...wow deep lol 


On my Toeziees - RIMMEL LONDON 630 BE A STAR

Much love ladies!

JOBLESS + ONLINE CV RANT :(

(Sigh)..So yesterday me and my printer had a little alone time together, updating my CV n'all. I've just been printing like there's no tomorrow I've got at least 30 CV's printed and I'm hoping to do another ten or so more just in case anything else comes up :)

I'm going back up to my University and hoping to scatter them all over the town before the term begins. Only problem being I don't actually get my room until October so i have to commute until then which really sucks because the transition of students coming in and out of jobs is from the start of summer June, July time until September, so really its gonna be a bit of a slog to work around me as i wont be a resident in the area until October which gives me less of a chance of snapping up a Saturday job than the rest :( poopy

Can someone please tell me what has happened to PRINTED CV'S??? Everything is done online now and sometimes its just a hassle, don't you think? What buggs me is now when you hand in a CV at a store and they say "sorry you have to apply online" -  but can't i just hand this into you now as have have it in my hand -"no sorry its done online now", how annoying is that.. I REALLY? I MEAN REALLY? Hope I don't hear that this time because my experience with online applications such as Body Shop,M&S and Boots were a flipping nightmare..

Do you know what really bugs me about 'online jobs' or 'online applications', is that filling out information on yourself and what you're looking for NEVER EVER matches up to anything they want??? They make you sign up to a jobs account so you can fill all the baloney in and answer random questions for example boots I've made about 3 accounts or should i say attempts and I've been through a good 20 Min's or grilling to find out theres no jobs in my area!! SAME with marks and Spenser's a year ago i tried applying there as i had a friend who worked in the women's wear section of the store, she told me if i made and account and went through the whole sha-bang that it said right at the very end to agree to working 18hrs a week at this time i was in my final year of Alevels and did NOT have time to work those hours at all.. all i wanted was a Saturday or a Sunday.. simples? No... so I went through the LONGGGG process (even longer than boots from what I remember) I came to the end and there was the question, I thought about it and said "Mehh I'm not going to look like a Liar in a interview when they say are you happy to start Monday yeah?" Noooo..

So i did the right/ wrong thing and clicked off the18hrs..and clicked the next page --> "sorry as you have stated you cannot fully work 18hrs a week you do not meet our criteria"; something along those lines of a disappointing rejection lol and to top it of M&S locked me out of my account and stoped me submitting another application for 4 months!! 4 MONTHS??? REALLY?.. has anyone else has these sorts of problems with online job applications or is it just me??? :/

Big apologies for my rant anyone else had any good or bad experiences with online CV's?

Speak soon :)
