Mac Lady Gaga Viva Glam Lipstick = Amazing


Above the amazing packaging and a beautiful swatch of the lipstick.


After months of waiting my local MAC counter has finally re stocked on Lady Gaga's lipstick. I was on holiday for the crazy couple of weeks it sold out in, so it is only now that I have managed to get my hands on it. When first got it I thought it was a little bright but once I put it on my lips I automatically loved it. ( Like most things related to Lady GaGa)
It's such a nice colour. Not to neutral. Not to crazy. This equals fantastic lipstick!
I would go and tell you all to buy it but I'm sure most of you have already months ago when it came out but I decided to do this little blog anyway telling you my thoughts :)

Also all the money goes to a great cause so if you haven't got it already and this blog still haven't persuaded you. Get it anyway as 100% of the money goes towards aids funds.

Eye Shadow CD case


A few weeks ago on youtube I watched a video of Reality Dust ( She's a great youtube beauty guru who you should go and subscribe too). She showed a CD case where she had stuck de-potted eye shadows to make her own little palette. I really loved this idea so I decided to do one too. I had a few random eyeshadows around that weren't MAC but just random brands that were clogging up my make-up collection because of the many different size pots. (Due to them all being different brands.)
I HATE de-potting eye shadows as I can never do them properly. They always end up having big dents around the edges where I've tried to get them out the pots. ( But then again I also hate single eye shows dotted around, so what can I do ? )

So the picture above is what it turned out like. I think its really different and I really like it. What do you think ?
I'm definitely going to some some more of these and then decorate the front of the CD. Or maybe have a picture of someone famous on the front then inside have the eye-shadow colours you need to create that look.
Yeah, so please let me know what you think of these or if you are going to try them out :)

Chi Silk Infusion

My mini chi Silk infusion :)

So this is my 4th Blog today which is quite impressive! My last blog was a hair product so I decided I would do a quick one and how great i think CHI Silk Infusion is :D
Silk Infusion was the first ever CHI product I ever tired, so I didn't really know what to expect. I got it on Amazon for around £10 for a 50ml bottle as it isn't sold anywhere near where I live.
I actually LOVE this stuff! It makes my hair soo shiny and sooo may compliemts but shadily I always say my hair is 'naturally' like that. The one things people have against this product is the smell which smells a bit like men's aftershave but honestly only a tiny but. It really doesn't bother me, I can hardly smell it anyway. So this was just a quick as I was in the mood to do one. So i hope this helps if you was thinking of getting it :D

John Frieda Gold Rush Shimmer Gel


I just washed my hair, so I thought I would tell you about a hair product i use and what I think of it.
Once I wash my hair I usually leave it for about 20 minutes as it it, I will then comb it with a comb ( Not as brush, as it will damage the hair while its wet ) I then put on beach blonde Gold Rush Shimmer Gel by John Frieda. I really love this, it has a teeny bit of glitter in it that stays on your hair which makes it look really shiny not weird.I also LOVE the smell, it has a coconut scent :) I don't usually like coconut but this makes your hair smell gorgeous! I says on the back of the bottle you can also put it on your body to create a shimmering effect. I haven't tired this yet, but nearer the summer time I will, and I can't wait to see how it turns out! You can get this for about £5 which is great!


MAC Nails ??





MAC!MAC!MAC!
I love Mac Make-up, it is definitely one of my favourite make-up brands out there. It is a premium brand but still isn't ridiculously expensive.
I have just pointed out to you that I am a big supporter of this brand but I am now going to admit to you. I have never tried a MAC nail vanish. I wasn't even aware they did them to be honest, which I know is very shameful. So I stumbled across the word 'NAILS' when I was on the website the other day. I have know idea how I have missed it the last 50000 billion times I have been on the MAC website. I was very excited when I first saw it and saw they were only £8. My favourite nail vanish at the moment is nails inc, so I was glad to get a nail vanish which was a bit cheaper than the usual £10 I would spend on a bottle. Only £2 I know, but when your £2 richer you can't complain, can you ?
So I decided to order a few colours. I got
Steamy - Which is described as a 'Hot 'n' Steamy Pink'
Shirelle - Which is described as a 'Classic..Red'
Vintage Vamp- Which is described as a 'Rich deep retro wine'
Dark Angel - Which finally is described as a 'Goth romantic dark lilac'
Well my orders came today and I couldn't be more thrilled with the quality and the colour of the nail vanishes. The swatches are a little different to the ones on the website ( which clearly doesn't give them justice) because they look even more fantastic in front of you.
Even if you aren't a MAC lover, I guarantee you will LOVE these nail vanishes. They are AMAZING!!!

Clinque 3 Step System



My first blog is going to be about the clinque 3 step system. This system consists of 3 products which are a cleanser, and exfoliater and a moisturiser that you use twice daily. I had read many reviews on this product about people boasting about how good it is and how it had 'changed their life for the better'. This is also not a cheap system. The starter kit alone costs you £20 and that only lasts you about a month. I was very excited about when it first arrived in the post ( especially as it came with free 2 samples ). The first 2 weeks of using it, it didn't really do anything to my skin at all. It didn't make it worse it didn't make it any better, but as i approached my 3rd week it was a completely different story. One night i had to go to bed with a cold flannel on my face because it burnt my skin so much. It felt so hot and was literally bright red. My skin was also peeling and flaking off, which was horrible. I realised that this must be too harsh for my skin so i started to just use it once a day in the morning. This then again like the first two weeks did nothing to my skin. This product is useless. It's too harsh to use twice a day, but does nothing for you when you only use it once. I advise is not you waste your only on this product. It is very misleading and does not give you perfect skin as they like to advertise everywhere. The only good thing about this system is the moisturiser, it isn't GREAT but i will carry on using it until it runs out just to get my moneys worth out of it. But i will not be buying it again.
