Kleenex shine absorbing sheets

I heard about the Kleenex Shine Absorbing Sheets before they even came into stores after reading so many blog posts about the range that Kleenex where bringing out (they have brought out all different types of products alongside this one). I had never tried shine absorbing sheets until now I've always just packed on more powder once I've became shiny which isn't the best thing to do as it can look quite cakey at times and because I apply my powder with a brush it actually began to remove the foundation off of my nose because of the grease. I picked these sheets up a few months back now and used them once but didn't really bother again, I'm not sure why as they are great I think it was because I'm just so use to using powder, anyway these sheets are 'powder free' which is great, they come in a small white packet which is slim and can fit in any size bag which I think is fab! I'm not sure on how many sheets there are actually in the pack but believe me when I say there are lots. 




The sheets are purple, one side of the sheet has a purple flowery pattern and the other side is just purple, it is the un patterned side that you use to blot away the oil, you basically just press it onto where the oil is, I tend to get oily around my T-zone area.




Once you have tried these you will see what I mean when I say wow, the oil transfers onto the sheet but none of your make-up does also when I use my powder brush and it takes my make-up off my nose these don't it just completely removes the oil, pretty amazing huh? it leaves me looking matte and feeling fresh again. These are a life saver for my oily t-zone and I'd recommend you give them a go if you have oily skin.


When I purchased these they where on offer at £1.50 I think they are originally £2.99 but I see them on offer so often but either way they are very affordable and will last quite a while. I got mine from Sainsbury's and you can get them from other supermarkets too and also Boots and Superdrug. 


Overall these get a thumbs up from me!

OOTD

Today I just went to a few grocery places with my Mum so she could get a few things and didn't do much else, I hate not doing much it's so boring and a waste of make-up haha! 
So here's what I wore today, The same style leggings as yesterday except these ones are a beige colour they where also from Riverisland they are like horse riding leggings, I teamed those with a Black vest from Dorothy Perkins, A Light pink sleeveless shirt from Dorothy Perkins which I wore open and my Bluebell Vans, I am obsessed with those shoes I love them so much. I forgot to mention that with all my outfits I obviously do carry a bag lol, I use a green satchel from Newlook that I have been using for a while now, I really need to start changing my bags around I have so many but just get lazy and use the same one everyday haha. So here's my outfit :)

OOTD

Today I didn't really do much just went to a small shopping centre type thing near me to have a nosey around Superdrug and pick up a few things, They have a 3 for 2 offer on in there at the moment so I got a bit tempted haha! Then after that I came back home and just chilled out in the garden and took quite a few photos, I love taking photo's especially when the sun is out. Today I wore a long black vest with a tiger on the front which was glittery and isn't as half as glittery now, it's the first time I've worn it since purchased and my leggings that I was wearing where covered in glitter after an hour which didn't look too bad lol, The vest was from Riverisland. I wore burgundy leggings with it which are also from Riverisland but they aren't like normal leggings they are extremely thick more like a jegging type and I teamed those with my Converse and my denim waistcoat, I love that waistcoat so much. So here are the photos :)

Hiiiiii & OOTD

Hello everyone, long time no see again.. I say this every time but my gosh I haven't blogged for so long yet again, I really really really want to start posting regularly again! Enough of my babbling on anyway, here's an Outfit of the day and my very first at that, I just randomly decided to take pictures of my clothes that I was wearing today on Instagram and though this is actually quite good so I will probably be taking photos of what I wear a few times a month but not everyday as some things are a bit boring lol. Anyway here is what I wore today, A Maxi dress that I brought to wear for my Mum's 40th last year and I wore it then and didn't again after that day so I'm going to get my wear out of it now, it is so gorgeous, My shoes that I think are so different and girlie and my denim waistcoat that I lurvveee. Unfortunately I couldn't get a full body shot as I have no full length mirrors only my Mum's mirrored wardrobes which do not exactly make me look great and I forgot to ask my family I was with today to take a picture but I think somewhere in my past blog posts I have a picture of me wearing it in a post about my Mum's 40th and that is a full body photo. I only popped to Asda today with my Mum, Nan & Granddad then to see my boy at the hospital but hey I can still wear something glam right? lol! 








Thanks for reading :) mwahhhh! xxx

Real Techniques Powder and Blush Brushes

As you all probably know Boots have a 3 for 2 offer on most things in store and have done for the past 3 weeks I think it has been. I decided I wanted to buy a few things but wasn't sure what (basically I had money and wanted to waste it on things that would make me happy for 5 seconds lol) I knew about the Real Techniques brushes and had heard a lot of good things about them, Now I'm the kind of person who has always stuck to cheap brushes and they have done the job for me but I though hey ho I might as well try some decent brushes for a change so I picked up the Powder Brush and the Blush Brush.


I picked those ones up because those are the main brushes I use apart from a foundation brush but I just use a cheap one of those (I think I may need to invest in a better quality one).
The first time I used these brushes I noticed the difference of that they were from my cheap usual ones, They were so soft on the skin and applied my makeup so differently to which my others did, My bronzer didn't look cakey and my blusher looks so natural and blended wonderfully. 
I use the powder brush for my translucent powder and also for my bronzer as I use bronzer all over my face everyday. It does make such a difference and my makeup looks flawless.

I would highly recommend these brushes they are fantastic, I have been using mine for about two weeks now and I am so impressed. Stock up quick whilst the boots 3 for 2 offer is still on ;)

Update

Wow! I haven't wrote for so long, I really need to get back into the swing of things and get up some regular posts again. 
Since I last wrote I have done quite a few new things such as a Business and Administration Course which I was on last month, I popped my Nando's virginity January and it was amazing Nando's is soo good as I presume you all know, then I went back again a few weeks ago it's so delish, I don't want to start going too often though as I may get bored lol!
I still haven't yet to find a job which is so horrible it's actually quite a horrible feeling, I have dreams and ambitions but it seems that I can't fulfil them, I feel kind of like I'm stuck in a rut but all I can do is keep thinking positive :)!
Last week it was my Granddad's 70th Birthday so all of us went for a Carvery which was so yummy, I don't usually like roast dinners but carvery's are too die for. I then went back to the carvery in my local town the next day with the Boyfriend, I'm such a fatty! haha. 
Easter Sunday we had my Nan's and Granddad around for dinner then we went over to my Nan's to see the rest of the family, It was a lovely day. I only had two eggs thank god as I'm trying to cut out the crappy foods at the moment although I did eat lots of eggs before Easter, Naughty!
At the moment I am focusing on getting a job and loosing more weight, I'd ideally like to tone up and loose this jelly belly then I'll be happy.
I'm actually thinking of starting youtube videos but I'm just not 100% sure yet and I don't have anything to film on so maybe that's a no go for the time being.

That's all really, I'm going to make sure I blog a lot more from now on as I have missed it a lot.

Thank you for reading (if you have haha)

YSL Rouge Volupte

Wow hello!
I haven't wrote on here for so long since before Christmas actually which is quite a long time seeing as I use to love posting regularly but I did have some sort of writers block (if that's what it's called). Oh I have missed blogging and will try and upload more now and get more into the scene again :).

This is going to be a review of the YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick in number 7 (lingerie pink) which I asked for for Christmas. It is simply gorgeous and the perfect pink colour for me!

I love the packaging it's so classy and I can never stop looking at it. 
The lipstick is creamy and very nourishing, it doesn't dry out the lips because it isn't matte, not all matte lipsticks do dry out the lips but I find some such as Barry M do but obviously YSL is of a lot higher end brand than Barry M and is a lot more pricey too.
The lipstick is the perfect barbie pink and looks really fresh and natural, I find the more I apply the lighter the colour appears to be which I love. It does last quite a while on the lips but when it does eventually fade it leaves a colour on the lip which I think is totally different to the colour of the actual product, it's more of a dark pink actually like I've applied a lip tint or something but it still is nice and after a long day were you may not be able to keep applying the lipstick I think this is great.


My mum actually purchased this off the Debenhams website for me and it retails at £23.50 which I think can be a little pricey but it does last quite a while. The lipstick can be purchased from anywhere that has a YSL counter or online.

I really would recommend this if you are looking for the perfect barbie pink :)
