March Beauty and Random Favourites

2 comments
, , , , , ,
My monthly favourites this month are all things I ADORE. This shouldn't be called favourites it should be called something like 'monthly amaze-ball product rave'. Or not quite that but believe me...that's the gist. I'm not crazy believe me....okay, maybe a little.
The products I mention are particularly good. Plus Hart of Dixie is the BEST - not fantasy/sci-fi - TV series I've seen in basically forever. And these Kinder Chocolate with Cereal bars are INCREADIBLE....I'm not sure I could live without them anymore!

What's in my bag? video

No comments
, , ,
I cannot believe I never filmed one of these before. Actually that's not true. I never used to have a handbag before so this video would have been pretty difficult lol. When I started using a wheelchair it became really difficult to hold a handbag (anyone who has ever self-propelled will testify to this) & I already had enough problems with my school books on my lap. I DID NOT want to add to that with a handbag. And then when I couldn't self propel anymore, but still had a manual wheelchair, I would often end up with my mum's bag on my lap whilst she pushed me.
So...what I'm saying is that the handbag is new because of the added freedom my electric chair gives me.....end speech :)

Spring Empties

No comments
, , , , ,
Hi guys. This is actually a kind of weird video if you think about it..."Hi guys, let's go through my beauty related rubbish...this is going to be interesting." I actually love watching these videos, they are some of my favourite beauty videos. Mostly because everyone else has loads of really interesting empties. I don't have that many empties it I'm totally honest, most of them are skincare bits...although there are some other beauty bits. Video & links to the products mentioned are after the link.

Collective Spring Fashion Haul

No comments
, , , , ,
Gosh, what a terrible thumbnail...
I can't believe I didn't post this yesterday...I had truly blissful day reading the latest Mercy Thompson book cover to cover. Then I was lying quietly trying not to breathe too much - cause I'd used up too much energy, far too quickly - &  I guess I forgot. Totally worth it though! If I ever do a post about my favourite book series - which I think I might have to - you will find me waxing lyrically about the Mercy Thompson books...
Anyway, this is just a kind of oversized haul of all the totally random things I've been buying to fill up the very depleted spring wardrobe you have been hearing WAY too much about. Sorry about that. This is probably the last thing I have to say on the matter...
As always, the video is after the 'read more' link :)

OCC Pigment in Clove Review

No comments
, , ,
I feel like I don't talk about this product enough, it is one of my favourite loose shadow products but it always gets just nudged out of the number one spot - which is really unfair because it is STUNNING!
This is one of the only products that I have ever seen in a youtube video & then instantly bought. Okay that's not true but it is one of the only makeup products I've seen in a makeup tutorial & then instantly bought. That is how stunning the colour is.
So why doesn't this eyeshadow get the number one place?

Beginners Makeup Kit Part 1 - The Basics

2 comments

Beginners makeup kit...this is a video I've been wanting to do for a long time but I never felt confident enough to do it before. Well I've done it now & it's going to be a two (maybe three) part series...this is the basics - concealer, sheer lipstick, eyeshadow, mascara & foundation.
No brushes (I really don't think you need them to start with) & it's all very basic & approved of by my mum who is also a total makeup newbie. There are alternatives for all the products mentioned in the video in the read more.

Christmas Sales Haul

No comments
, , ,
I'm not sure if I mentioned already but I have been taking full advantage of the sales & so I did a sale haul.
This video is an edited highlight of my sales shopping as I am sure to take advantage of the continuing price reductions (particularly as some of my clothes are so big now they are - honest to goodness - falling off me....it's marginally obscene...
 Right, the video, that's after this post jump, I'm sick of clogging up my 'recommended posts' bar with thumbnail images that won't show up properly :)

  1. Turkey, Cranberry Sausage Rolls: Christmas flavours always inspire some amazing recipes & I am so proud of this, it is one of the best savoury things I have ever made!

Christmas Party Smokey Eye

No comments
, , , ,
I've been doing a Christmas Get Ready With Me series over on my YouTube channel, the last one was a cool, classic vintage look & this one is a Cranberry & Gold/Champagne smokey eye. I even broke out my false lashes!

The concept for this look was a look for a work Christmas party....I have never been to a work Christmas party however so I may have completely missed the mark. You'll have to let me know :)

What to do when you are flaring

No comments
, ,
Flaring is one of those (pardon my French) shitty bits of being ill that makes all the rest pale in comparison. You guys know what I'm talking about, when your symptoms are at the worst & you feel equal parts black-out drunk/hung-over....just me?

I know I get crazy bored when I am flaring, there never seems to be enough to do that doesn't make you feel worse, so this video gathers up all the flaring activities I do & puts them in one place...

Autumn/Fall/Thanksgiving Makeup look

No comments
, , ,
I know I'm posting about YouTube twice in a row but from now one it'll be a Wednesday only thing, okay? Okay. So this is a makeup look I've been wearing loads recently. If you look closely at my fashion video, it makes a not that brief appearance....lol
 
So the basis is a strong, leaf toned eye look & a warm, neutral cheek & lip look....
It's a bit out there for me with a winged liner & a pop of colour. It even has a thick under-eye liner which is something I almost never do...it works though :)
What do you guys think? Would you ever try this look?

P.S. It's my little brother's birthday today...just thought I'd mention so that he doesn't think I've forgotten :)

Autumn Fashion - Check

2 comments
, , ,
Hi guys, so in my giveaway some of you said you wanted to see more fashion videos which reminded me how much perfectly normal people appreciate wheelchair fashion advice - I'd gotten so used to it only being gross perverts watching my videos that I forgot about the rest of you. I am so sorry about that, I have a whole string more fashion videos planned & hopefully they will be better edited :)
Do you have any requests for future fashion videos? Is there anything you'd like to see my take on?

Beauty Empties Video

No comments
, , , ,
My first ever beauty empties video is up! I'm very proud of this fact, both the fact that the video is up & that I actually filmed it. You would not believe the day/week/life I have been having....it included a moth getting into my Urban Decay Naked palette, horrendously clogged pores & my mother re-decorating. Plus the beginning of crazy hormones & PMS. Seemingly my body is not coping well with M.E. & now monthly female things are horrendous....
Anyway, this is the video. Enjoy
