July's Empties

I'm trying to keep track of products I use up, to remind me of what I want to repurchase. These are July's victims. 


TIGI Rockaholic Fun Times Flexible Hairspray - I bought this in TK Maxx, so it was cheap but that's really the only thing going for it. The nozzle needed unblocking after every few uses, it leaked and as a hairspray it was quite rubbish- stick and it didn't hold well. Won't be buying this one again, I think I'll stick to Got2B Glued hairspray, it's much better. 

Witch Anti Blemish Tinted Moisturiser - I love this, it's the perfect colour for me and it's got nice, light coverage. I've been meaning to do a full review of it for a while now. I will be repurchasing, in fact I already have. 

Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Concentrated Cream - I always like to have one of these in my handbag, it's great for keeping my hands moisturised and it can be used all over so it's very handy. It's great for bringing on holidays and to festivals too, I double it up as face cream so I only have to bring one bottle. Smells great as well. 

Good Things Face The Day Moisturiser & Creamy Cleanser - I bought these because they were free from most nasties and I thought they might be a cheaper alternative to Burts Bees. They aren't. They're not the most awful Moisturiser and Cleanser I've used, but they were not anything special either. There was a really sweet, plasticy smell off them too, which I disliked. I won't be repurchasing these unless I seem them at a bargain price. 

Urban Decay Primer Potion (mini) - I think this is the one that came with my Alice palette. Not much to say here, it's my favourite primer and I always repurchase it. 

John Frieda Sheer Blonde Colour Renew Tone Correction Shampoo & Conditioner - I bought these when I first bleached my hair and they've worked very well. My hair has been less brassy since using these and they've helped keep my hair in decent condition while I've been bleaching the absolute crap out of it. I won't be repurchasing these right now, as I don't plan on staying blonde for much longer. If I go blonde again in the future though, I will buy these again.

Haha, oops I just noticed it looks like I'm wearing nothing in these photos. I was wearing a strapless dress, see. 


Dress is from Warehouse via a charity shop. I really like it but it's got plastic boning which sits badly and it's a little uncomfortable. The 'Evil Eye' necklace I think I got on holiday in Turkey when I was a kid and the other necklace is from All Saints.

I'm wearing a t-shirt that I really really love from Qwertee in these photos. 


You can see a less crap photo of it here :D I'm a big Pokémon fan so I was so excited when I saw this t-shirt! It's not available anymore but there's some really great t-shirts that will hopefully be on sale soon, like this Pokémon one and this Hitchhikers Guide one. Check them out! 


Disclaimer: I'm not be paid or anything to promote Qwertee, I just really like their t-shirts. 

FOTD: Liquidlast liner


Face: 
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation
Almay Nearly Naked Makeup
E.L.F. Complexion Perfection Powder
MAC Peachykeen Blush
MAC MSFN Medium
Bourjois Highlighter
MAC Fix+



These MAC liquidlast liners are a bit of a pain to apply and remove but they're perfect for when you need your makeup to last all day and night without having to worry about it smudging. I just wish they'd change the brush on them, it's so hard to get a smooth line with it especially since the liner is so gloopy. 


Eyes: 
UDPP
MAC Liquidlast liner, I think it's Powerplum but the name has rubbed off so I can't be sure. (lid)
GOSH Purple Stain Velvet Touch liner (lower lashline)
UD Ransom e/s (over both liners)
Collection 2000 Big Fake Mascara

30 Day Song Challenge: Day 3 - A Song That Makes You Happy



I'm not Alone reminds me of summer 2009, which was a really awesome summer. This cover is so much better than the original and it's probably the best song I've ever heard being played live. The crowd went mental for it, it was great

Go!Team


Wore this to see The Go! Team last Thursday. The gig was rubbish, not really their fault though, it was doors at 9, the band started at 12 and the sound was awful. We left after 3 songs and went to a silent disco instead, heaps more fun. 

 Cardigan from Penneys - €5
Scarf from Penneys - €5
Minnie Mouse T-Shirt from Penneys - €9
Bag from Kembali - €12 (It's now broken sadly, I have such bad luck with bags)
Topshop Shorts - €30
Black Milk Leggings - €50
Converse - €20

You may notice I've dyed my hair blue. I love it and the colour is lasting really well. Might do a post soon about hair dying, and how to make the colour come out bright and last a long time.
