Me and Luke, (boyfriend) the day before my sisters wedding!




                                                                                                                                        




                                                                                                                 Me and my gorgeous sister, Jodie 

M.A.C lovin'!

Hello lovelies! Hope you are all well!
My Mam and Step Dad got back from their holiday yesterday and I was so so pleased to see them, I missed them lots! My Mam then went on to pull something out of her bag....

TADA! My face lit up as soon as I seen the MAC logo. At the bottom of the box you can see it says 'REEL DRAMA LIP BAG' so I knew that this little box was going to contain some gorgeous MAC lip goodies. I went on to open it as soon as I got it in my hands...I was so excited.

And this is what the box contained. Just oh my god. People don't understand why I get so excited over make-up but cummon...it's MAC!! A MAC lipstick, dazzleglass, cremestick liner AND make-up bag.Just wow! These are now my first EVER MAC products and I could not be happier! I wasn't expecting any MAC make-up off my Mam because we all know how expensive it is so to get these little beauties and for free?! I am one happy lady it's fair to say.




The luxurious lipstick is called Reel Drama and is an absolutely gorgeous dark pink shade. I cannot believe the pigmentation in this lipstick...honestly the best I've ever had, 1 coat and you're done, however if you wanted to, you can layer and layer and layer! When I applied the lipstick I couldn't believe how creamy it was and how hydrated it made my lips feel. I love the colour and I believe that this particular lipstick is only available in this special little box.

Just a gorgeous colour right?! I'll now move on to the dazzleglass crème in the colour Scenestealer. Now again, I think this colour is only available in this set but I wanted to tell you all how much I love it! Lipglosses aren't usual my thing but I adore this one and will definitely be purchasing some more MAC ones! Scenestealer is a peachy pink shade and has silver flex's which makes your lips shine and dazzle in the light! I layered this stunning dazzleglass on top of the Reel Drama lipstick and it gave my lips that extra edge. Great for a 'going out' look! The dazzleglass doesn't leave your lips sticky and doesn't leave you with that feeling of having too much lipgloss on. It smoothly glides over your lips by using the wand leaving your lips shine and dazzle everyone around you! Love it. 

Sorry about the rubbish pictures, I used my I-phone because I couldn't find my camera lead! Anyway, you can see how creamy and lush this dazzleglass is....just yummy! Now onto the cremestick liner in the colour Softwood again, don't think this is available on it's own. I don't usually use lip liners either but I didn't hesitate to rush to the mirror and try this wee beauty out! The colour of this lip liner matched my lipstick perfectly and again is highly pigmented. This particular lip liner is retractable which I love because you don't have to worry about sharpening it over and over again. It applied smoothly and helped my lipstick stop feathering out. The great thing about this is you can also use it to fill in your whole lips! This proved long lasting and felt very light on my lips.

God, my phones rubbish at taking photos! Hopefully you can see what the colour looks like however the phone has made it look darker than it actually is! 


The make-up bag is probably one of the best I've had. The size of it isn't that big but I'll be using it to put my make-up in, in my handbag. Perfect size for your handbag. The material feels strong and sturdy and the gold/nude detail gives it that extra wow. The inside is a reasonable size and will fit quite a few products in...just as much as you'll need for your handbag! 

So here is the little beauty of a make-up with my new MAC products in! The zip makes you feel comfortable that your make-up is going no where! An added extra bonus is the little zipper, which has the M.A.C logo on. How cute! All in all I am over the moon with my new M.A.C products and make-up. I can't wait until my M.A.C foundation and lipstick comes which I ordered on Sunday! SO EXCITED!

I hope you've enjoyed reading, let me know if you've had this gorgeous little package and if the products can in fact be sold separately...each product had 'not for individual sale' printed on the bottom.

Lots of love, Leah xxx

p.s I've had some great news today, a bit too personal for my blog but I'm just feeling mega happy now! Hope you are all happy too!

I'm so excited & I just can't hide it!

Hello lovelies!!! I haven't had the best of days. I woke up in a massive sweat feeling faint and like I was going to be sick. (sorry for the grossness) but I knew I had work so I put my make-up on, shoved my hair back and went to work for my Sunday lunch shift....2 hours in I had to go outside because I thought I was going to faint! My boss kindly said I could go home and that I didn't have to come in for my shift at 6pm because I was ill. Don't you just love easy going bosses? I'd hate to have a boss that was horrible. Anyways, to cheer myself up I have ordered some Elf products and MAC products!


 I am mega excited about the MAC products as this is my first ever MAC purchase! I only ordered some foundation and a lipstick but with the total coming to £35.95, that will do me fine for now! The Elf products came to £10.00  so it's fair to say I've had a little splurge!


At the moment I am waiting for my A-Level results and I only have a kind of 'weekend job' waitressing. I have about 3-4 shifts a week so it is again, fair to say that I couldn't really afford this! However, my very very kind boyfriend has offered to buy me the foundation....(love him) so my total came to about £24.00, so I guess it's not that bad!


I have worked 4 shifts this week and I'm working 4 next week, so I'm hoping to get quite a bit of money, however £60.00 of this money is going out of my purse and into my Mam's for my car insurance (nooooooooooooooooo, the only thing bad about having a car is the insurance, fuel, tax...hmmm seems to be a money graber!)


So, to sum up I am SO excited about recieving my MAC products!! SO SO excited! As soon as I get all of my products I will most definatley be doing a review so stay tuned for that! (my Mam and Step Dad also get back off holiday tomorrow, haven't seen them for a week, so I'm excited for that too!)


I have also realised that my blog seems quite impersonal so tomorrow I will be uploading some new and updated images of moi as well as some questions and answers. I always feel like the better blog, is the blog that has amazing reviews but also some personal things thrown in!


Sorry about this massive ramble, I was excited and needed to express this excitment to my fellow bloggers who would know how it feels when you order new make-up!


Thanks for reading, hope you all had a good weekend.

Mini Primark Haul

Hello lovelys! Just a mini Primark haul because I really wanted to show these things off because I just think they look fab,

The ring in the top image is stunning! I've wanted a ring like this for ages. It looks medieval almost! I adore the large blue stone with amber streaks running through, it gives this ring a edgy and quirky look! I wear it on my index finger because I prefer it on that finger! It looks fab and I love to match it up with high waisted shorts and a vest tucked in. This ring gives your outfit and edge! Love it and I think it was only £1.50! BARGINNN! 

The ring in the bottom image is also gorgeous! The diamonds and pattern around the ring make it stand out and the white on the blue background makes the ring look victorian. I wear this ring on my index finger as well, it just looks better on that finger! Again for just £1.50.

I thought that these earrings were so cute! They were only £1.00 and I just loved them as soon as I saw them! I love the design of them and the diamonds at the top make them sparkle!

 I also picked up these cute little clips for £2.50. The flower design grabbed my attention! I have really long hair and I get so annoyed with it sometimes and I thought these would be perfect to clip my hair up! They are really strong too and you can feel that they won't let your hair slip out.

And I lastly picked up this make-up bag! I really needed a new one that would be able to fit all my make-up in because I have lots! I loved this lepord print design and the gold 'sign' on the front that says 'Make me gorgeous'. The material is a knock off leather effect and you can feel that it isn't going to snap at the heavy weight of your make-up!

This is what the inside of the bag looks like! As you can see its quite deep and will be able to fit lots of make-up in! The pink lining also gives it that girly look and feeling and also allows you to find your make-up easily. The mirror is a cute little bonus BUT mine was smashed :( never mind though! It was £4.00.

So there we go! Just a mini haul :) I love Primark and all the clothes and jewelery! Wish there was one near me, the nearest one is Newcastle!

Let me know if you have the same items and what you think of them!

False Nails : A 'Go Go' or a Big 'No No'?

Another blog in the same day...you can tell i'm slightly addicted to blogging!

I recently had to have false nails due to my sister wanting me to have them for her wedding...plus I sooo wanted them!

My sisters husbands, sister is a  professional nail  technician and she is fab at doing nails, so of course I was mega excited about getting my nails done as I thought it 'finishes off the wedding look'. She did an AMAZING job and I honestly would recommend her to anyone down South!

Here is the final result of my nails...

The bottom image is of my nails just being done and I personally think they look amazing! The top image is of my nails a week after having them done so they are now ever so slightly starting to grow up, perhaps the only negative of having false nails on.

My nails are not acrylic or gel, they are fibre glass. I personally think that this is by far the best method of false nails. I've had acrylic  nails on numerous times and they have ALWAYS made my nails weak and leave each layer literally peeling away from the other. In fact my nails were still peeling when I got these ones applied and that was from having false nails last November! Now, I'm not saying that acrylic  nails are bad, perhaps my nails just don't agree with acrylic or the more possible reason, the shop where I got them applied is rubbish. The same happened to my Mam's nails when she got them applied from the same shop...hmmm....I'll leave that one to you.

Anyways, I love  these nails. They are extended because I don't have very long nails but they are so sturdy and strong and look beautiful. They don't have that thick look that the acrylic nails seem to have as well as the 'fake' look. I'm aware that you can tell that mine are false but I can guarantee that the acrylic nails that I've had looked far  more false!

As I got my nails done down South, there's no way of getting them filled in when they need to be so I'm debating whether to get them removed or just paint over them until they are unbearable. I'll probably paint over them...at least my nails will look long and sexy!

I love painting my nails, in fact I don't think that there is a day where I don't have nail varnish on...quite bad really! Here's a couple of pictures I've took on my I-phone at various occasions of my nails...

So my question is...What's better false nails or painted nails? Well I personally think it depends on the occasion! For a wedding or a more special occasion false nails look fab and sophisticated but on a night out bright red painted nails look fierce and grab peoples attention!

Without a doubt I would get fibre glass nails again by Katie because she is AMAZING at doing them but I'd be lost without my colourful nail varnishes! I just love having painted nails!

I WANT!

Hey guys! Well, just oh my god, i can't explain how much i want these nail varnishes, i want them SO SO much, but unfortunatly the only place you can get these stunning polishes is house of fraiser and there isn't one near me! BUT i will not let that fact get me down! I am determined to get these nail varnishes!

Hellooooo pretty things! As part of Nordstrom's annual anniversary sale, Deborah Lippmann has put together these glitzy nails varnishes called Get This Party Started. This gorgeous looking set contains the best seller Happy Birthday which is a party in a bottle, plus two new sparkling shades, Forget You which has a sheer black base and Candy Shop which is a yummy looking bubblegum pink.

(Notice how each nail varnish has a song name? It's Deborah's way of showing her love for nails as well as music. Each nail varnish has the name of a song that she loves!)

All three nail varnishes are packed FULL of glitter shaped in hexagons that help give a amazing shine and, of course, glittery look! Imagine rocking these glittery nails on a night out or lying on a red hot beach with your nails glistening in the sun?

Just how amazing do these look?! Without a doubt i WILL be getting my little hands on these jaw dropping varnishes. They will without a doubt get the party started!

LOVE THEM, WANT THEM, NEED THEM

What do you think of these stunners?

I also want to add in the nail varnish called Shape Of My Heart which was created with Shape magazine to help fight breast cancer. I am a HUGE supporter of helping to fight any type of cancer, particular breast cancer as my mother suffered from this illness. She has won the battle and is fit and well.

The shade is beautiful a Healthy Blush (sheer) and i just love what this nail varnish is made for.

I want these nail varnishes badly! I can just  imagine them sitting pretty on my nails as i am never without nail varnish. I would love to add these glittery beautys to my collection!

What do you guys think?!

Bridesmaid!

Hey guys, so i thought i would share some more personal thoughts on here :)
tomorrow i go down to my sisters for her wedding which is on saturday and of course i'm one of the bridesmaids!

Excited is an understatement! I literally cannot wait for saturday, i really hope that the weather is going to be good, which is more than likely as the wedding isn't up North, it's down South and according to my sister, the weather down there is A LOT better than the weather up here! Thank goodness.

Me and my Mam are catching a train that takes us all the way down to London, and then to the place where my sister lives! Which isn't too far from London! The train journey may be a bit boring, but i've got a few things to do whilst 'enjoying' the journey!

I'm on the second Harry Potter book and i am certain that i will finish it by the time we get to London! It's a definate! I'm addicted to the books, and can't wait to get onto the next one! I also have my Iphone to keep me occupied. I'm adding new songs to my playlist as we speak!

On Thursday i am then going to get a spray tan! VERY scary idea seen as though i've never had one and i'm as pale as a ghost! We are just basically helping my sister do some final last touches. On Friday the whole bridal party are getting their nails done by my sisters future sister-in-law! Such a lovely lady!

The rest of my family are getting a mini bus down on Friday to where my sister lives which is going to take about 6-7 hours! So you can imagine how they must be feeling! My step dad has kindly offerered to drive them down with regular stops. God love him, he's an absolute saint! <3

When everyone arrives we are going out for a Mexican, just my sisters side of the family, 22 people all together which is a very good number considering how far away she's getting married! My boyfriend of nearly 3 years will be my date of course, really looking forward to having a slow dance with him...haha gush gush gush!

For her hen party we all went to Ibiza for the weekend in June! Here are some pictures of the lovely ladies when in Ibiza Baby!

This is my sister, me, and my mam

All the girls who came to Ibiza!

She also had another TWO hen nights, the lucky thing, one where she lives and one up North where she use to live!

The girls about to go on a night out down South!

Me and my sister on the hen do up North!

Me, Mam and Jodie

As you can see, Me and my sister have quite a close relationship even if she does live hundereds of miles away!

Anyways, i'll keep you posted and upload some pictures from the next couple of days!
