Guess which beauty guru i met yesterday?

Well after my shopping spree (see previous post) me and my hubby went to grab a bit of lunch. Now this was a major achievement as we haven't been able to have a meal out (due to panic attacks) for  2-3 years. But i'd had my hair done and was feeling quite good. so we decided to take advantage of it and popped in Costa Coffee. No sooner had we sat down with our lunch,did i  notice a rather familiar face heading towards the next table. After a few surreptitious glances, just to be sure (during which my husband thought i'd lost the plot)  i finally managed to pluck up the courage to say hello to the lovely, professional make up artist, youtube beauty guru and blogger ( also  a model in some of Pixiwoo's tutorials) TANYA BURR aka PIXI2WOO.)  It was slightly surreal to say the least and although i kept the conversation brief (i didn't want to intrude on her lunch) i am pleased to say she seemed just as lovely in person as she does in her videos.And just as pretty. I must admit i did sit there thinking 'what does my make up look like, is my eyeliner half way down my face etc lol.
So next time you are out and about, just keep your eyes peeled.You never know you just may spot one of your favourite gurus

Pure Nail Varnish Review

Hello my lovelies, hope you are all well. I haven't been up to doing any videos lately so thought i would do a review here instead. I picked up these gorgeous nail varnishes  from the Factory Shop about a month ago. I'd never heard of Pure before but  fell in love with the colours and they were all only £1 each! , The shades are Bright Green and Bright Pink. (Personally  i don't think they are very bright, but hey that's just me) both are shot through with gold.

I'm wearing the green at the moment and love it. The brush covered most of my nail and gave an even finish. I could have got away with one coat but did two for a deeper colour. The first coat dried very quickly, the second took a bit longer but was still pretty quick.. The finish had a very slight sheen, not at all glossy, which was a bit disappointing as i love glossy nails. But thats soon remedied by using a glossy topcoat.  I wore the pink one (sorry i deleted the photo doh!) without a topcoat , and it didn't chip for 3 days which i was impressed with.

You get 12ml of product - here's a size comparison with some drugstore  nail varnish 

.

The Barry M on the left is 10ml, the Rimmel 60 second is 8ml  and the  Rimmel Maxx (pale pink on right) is 

 is12ml. 

As i said I hadn't heard of them before but i do know that Boots website are selling some Pure products at half price at the moment (i have no idea if Boots stores sell them) The nail varnish was £6.36 but is now £3.18 which i think is quite reasonable for the size. But i'm going back to The Factory Shop next week and hope to pick up some more for £1. Hope you enjoyed this, will be back with another review very soon. Till then take care

First post of 2010 - finally!

Hello my lovelies, i hope you are all well and enjoying 2010. I do apologise for not posting anything for ages. My depression is bad at the moment and am currently in the process of changing medication - a long and difficult process. So my motivation to do anything is almost none existent.
 But enough of that, i have bought a few things since my last post and will be telling you all about them very soon. I will also be doing some in depth reviews of  drug store foundations, mascaras eye shadows, lip glosses and nail varnish. I will try and swatch products, but for some reason my camera is playing up so they may be a bit blurry.
Well that's it for now as i am about to go do a video for youtube and take some pictures for my next blog post - hopefully tonight
Till then, byeeeeeeeeeeee

Feeling sorry for myself

Well i had to go to the dentist again this morning. I am petrified of the dentist and was having really bad panic attacks yesterday and this morning. I had a filling and two, yes TWO teeth extracted (extracted - thats a very threatning word) My dentist is a lovely lady who is really good with nervous people.My hubby held my my hand throughout. Unfortunately i gripped it so hard i actually broke it..........kidding! I did grip it so hard that it went numb though.The anasthetic is wearing off and it's getting painful
The dentist said i cant do housework etc for today and maybe tomorrow. How will i cope! lol. I cant have anything hot to eat or drink which is a pain as it is very cold at the moment so of course all i want is a nice cup of tea and a hot meal :-(  Oh well at least i have food, which is more than a lot of other people have, so i will stop moaning now.
I tried to do a video last night but wasn't happy with it. Then i discovered that movie maker doesnt work properly on this computer anyway, which i am really fed up about.But hopefully my computer will be sorted out soon.
Well thats about it for now, take care my lovlies
