Hair bargain of the year!

I am the biggest blog stalker, I love buying new products based on recommendations from the bloggers that I trust the opinion of! Today I noticed a market stall in a town nearby my house selling Matrix hair products super cheap! I read Yu's review on the Matrix Biolage fortetherapie strengthening conditioner a couple of weeks ago and remembered that she was really impressed with it, so when I saw the deal that was on I could hardly resist!

For £20 the package included 

2x 250ml fortifying shampoo

2x250ml fortifying conditioner

1x 1L (salon sized) Fortifying leave in strengthening treatment

Altogether I worked out that we saved around £60 as the shampoo and conditioners sell in salons at roughly £9 each and the leave in treatment around £12.50 but thats for a 250ml bottle not the salon sized one we got


Me and Mum paid £10 each and split the package up, we are going to decant the giant leave in treatment into spray bottles as the lady selling the products said that it works really well as in spray form.


The great thing about all of this is that the ladies will send the products through the mail charging only what it costs them to post, I asked for the number to call so you guys could grab this fab bargain aswell (im nice like that ;)) just give them a call and they will send them asap or if you are in the Sheffield/Chesterfield area then you can also arrange collection from them.
Call Natalie on: 07715989253


I really cant wait to use these new products, I have got high expectations!! Obviously as Ive just purchased them I cant review them, but check Yu's Blog for her review. I will pop up my review in about a week or 2 and let you know how I find them.

And also on a totally random note, Im off to the zoo tomorrow with my son and boyfriend and sooo I picked up this skirt from H&M to wear...

Leopard print skirt £9.99 H&M

I think its zoo-tastic (lame, I knooow!) What do you think?

What bargains have you found lately?

Lipstick TAG

I saw this tag over at Vivianna's blog a little while ago and thought it would be a really fun one to do, so here goes...

Little tubes of happiness :)

1. When you were a child did you use your Mother's lipstick?

Hmm..I honestly cant remember,hold on a sec *Rings Mum* oooh apparently when I was 2 my Mum had me all dressed up ready to go to a Birthday party,and I must have decided that the look she had given me wasn't complete without some red lipstick, which I proceeded to squash into my face and all over my party outfit, I spent the rest of the day with a red face as it stained and wouldn't wash off ooops! 

2. How old were you when you brought your first lipstick?

I remember having alot of lip balm's when I was about 11 I had a  tinted one from natural collection at Boots called sugar plum, which I repurchased for years until they stopped making it. I think my first actual lipstick was Bon Bon from 17 at Boots which I bought when I was about 12, and was another one that I was obsessed with for years!

3. Pink or red lipstick?
I love Pink lipsticks the best and find them a lot more comfortable to wear than reds.I always feel a bit 'on show' wearing a red lip!

4. The most expensive lipstick you have ever brought?

The most expensive lipstick's that I have ever bought are from mac,I have been in love with the range of colours from their since I first clapped eyes on the mac counter at Manchester airport about 5years ago. Total LOVE at first sight goggly eyed moment! (My first buy was Blankety) 

5. And the cheapest?

The cheapest lipstick I ever bought was probably one from collection 2000 or natural collection at Boots when I was younger.The cheapest ones in my lipstick drawer at the moment are probably from Barry M and MUA,in fact MUA is probably cheaper than collection 2000 and natural collection were back in the 90's "/ 

6. What's the most bizarre thing you have ever done with a lipstick?

When I bought my very first lipstick from mac I kept it in the box for ages and kept taking it out, swatching it and putting it back! I loved it so much!

7. If you had to recommend a lipstick brand, what brand would you choose and why?

Definitely mac! the lipstick stand is mesmerising! There are so many different variations of colours and finishes that there will always be something for everyone.I think mac lipsticks are actually addictive, so beware ;) !!

I tag everyone that wants to do this post

Let me know if you do it so I can read your answers :)

Blush crush #1.

This post is totally inspired by my new Blush crush which is the much loved in the beauty community 'Deep throat' by Nars. I wasn't really intending on purchasing this as I had just picked up 'Pink swoon' from Mac literally 20 minutes earlier, but curiosity got the better of me at the Nars stand and I couldn't help but swatch  'Deep throat' and 'Orgasm' to see what all the fuss was about. In my opinion both are 100% worth the hype and I struggled to decide on which one to purchase. The reason I went for 'Deep throat' out of the two was that I felt that it was the one that I would get the most daily use out of, as it is a little more subtle than Orgasm (which I still really want to get!) 

The Nars website describe deep throat as peach with shimmer, I find it looks pinky peach on my skin and gives it that lovely, lit from within look. The shimmer in this blush comes through so subtly and despite there being a small amount of very fine glitter visible in the pan it doesn't transfer onto skin which I think is a big plus! 

The pigmentation is fantastic as I believe the case is with all Nars blushers, I've found that a slight hand works best or it will make you look like a crazed cabbage patch kid! Another thing that makes me love this is that it's so durable, I have put it on in the morning's, cleaned the house, walked the dogs and things like that and it's still in place 6 hours later!

Oh I do love Nars for putting mirrors in their lids!

This blush totally deserves it's cult status for me and is worth every penny of the £20.50 it costs. Is anyone else a deep throat lover? (eww pun not intended "))

A l'il FOTD

Hey girls,firstly I'm chuffed to bits that my blog has reached almost 200 readers! Thanks so much everyone im really grateful! Another thing I would like to say is that as it is the school holidays and my son is off for a fortnight ive found it hard to spend as much time on my blog and feel that my last couple of posts were a bit rushed and not as well organised as I would like them to be, so thank you for bearing with me!  :)

Anyway enough gushing! On to the FOTD...

Products used:

 Chanel Pro Lumiere foundation

MAC MSF natural medium plus

MAC MSF soft and gentle to highlight cheek and brow bones

Nars Deep throat blush

MAC Paintpot in painterley on lower lid

MAC Woodwinked eyeshadow on lower lid

Barry M brown eyeliner pencil on top and bottom waterline and top lashline

Loreal Telescopic mascara

MUA brunette brow pencil 

MAC Hue lipstick 

I have been really loving Pro Lumiere foundation (which is typical because it is being discontinued!) for the past couple of weeks as my skin has been pretty normal as opposed to its usual dry state, I haven't been drinking any extra water or eating extra healthy so im putting it down to using the Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser,the Oilatum dry skin repair cream, and VIE clear thoughts night cream which is so thick and moisturising, I cant believe i have never used a night cream before. I feel like my skin has been really benefiting from all of these things. Does anybody else use a night cream?

Anyway that was a bit of a quick ramble but I hope you like it :) 

I will be doing a review of Nars Deep throat blush soon as im in love with it <3
