DIY Jewellery Hanger Board, Very Cheap To Do!

My necklaces were all getting in a tangle in my jewellery box which is a stacker (comment if you wanna see a post on it). So getting bored with trying to undo the knots I went and got a corkboard/noticeboard from Tesco and some little plastic hooks and et voila!

So this is a 60 x 40cm board costing around £4ish. 

I then also got these from Tesco for £2 and you get 20 clips, ideal for necklaces as they aren't chunky, can be removed and you don't see them when they are up. I ended up using a pack and a half.

Heres a picture after, it's on the inside wall of my walk in closet/wardrobe, it still needs organising but I love it, I can see what I have and theres no tangles!

Hope you like it!

ColorSensational Lipsticks and Popstick by Maybelline Review & Swatch

 

Here are the three ColorSensational Lipsticks/Popstick by Maybelline I own. Now the left side pink one is called a ColorSensational Popstick and bought from Boots whereas the other two are described as lipsticks and I got them from Tesco on clearance, yay!

Left to right: Pink Lollipop 030, Stellar Pink 150, Fatal Red 530.

I absolutely love Pink Lollipop as its just a perfect colour on your lips, its a sorta better-than-your-own-lips colour and makes you appear more brighter, fresher and not too made up. It is quite sheer but does look scary in the tube, don't worry.

The next one Stellar Pink is more thick like a lipstick and is a beautiful almost mauvey pink. And lastly the Fatal Red is such a daring colour, doesn't seem to have a blue undertone but it does work on paler skin if you're feeling brave ;)

All these I have found don't dry my lips, don't bleed and last a few hours before needing a touch up, the Pink Lollipop one being more sheer does need touching up more so but I love it.

They are swatched the same as laid out above, each has 2 swipes, taken with flash.

Urban Decay make your own 6 pan palette

So this is my Urban Decay palette that is fully customisable. It does come with one colour that you can't choose yourself but happens to be a great blending out or highlight colour called Walk of Shame. They also do a 4 pan palette that comes with Rockstar I think its called which is a beautiful colour but it only comes with the palette.

The 6 pan comes with a mirror in the lid, which I haven't used still has the plastic on! and a small brush to pack on the colour. It is metal and shuts really well so I am happy!

The eyeshadows come in normal pots but when you push on the back they come out and you can put them in this little beauty! Love the idea of this, I obviously keep all my little pots they come out of incase I wanna swap and change or go back to single pots.

Hope that showed you how the palette works and how great it is to be able to interchange your shadows or customise it to your own taste :)

DIY Ombre Nails

 So I've been seeing pictures of people with the ombre nail effect and some look a little complicated to do so I just grabbed a sponge and some varnish and come up with this!

I used Rimmel double duty base coat on all nails then let them dry. Then I got the tip of my sponge and put some Ted Baker varnish along the edge (doesn't have a name but it was from Boots and came with a glitter, its a gorgeous champagne gold) and then from the tip of my nail just dabbed graduating towards the top. Then with OPI sparke de triomphe (beautiful gold/silver glitter) just added a little to the tip of my nail. Then finally a generous coat of Rimmel top coat. Et voila! Easy ombre nails that took no time at all.

Happy New Year!

So it's that time again, happy new year to you all who read my blog, may I blog some more this new year and may you all enjoy it!

Revlon Lip Butters!

This is a little review on Revlon lip butters. I only have two colours but I am really impressed with the texture, colour and that at Boots you can get them on a good deal. I am going to look at getting some different colours. The two I have are Peach Parfait and Cotton Candy.

This is the outer casing, there are two plain sides (shown on the right) and two patterned sides (on the left picture). They close quite tight too so no just coming off in your makeup bag.

The left one is Peach Parfait and the right one is Cotton Candy. Taken without flash. They are really smooth and the one on the left is a beautiful shade of coral with shimmer, I'm quite pale and it looks fine on me, not orange-y! The right one is Cotton Candy and is a pretty pink shade with less shimmer. This is just one swipe of the lip butter so definitely buildable.

This is taken with flash, colours as above.

So there ya go! I'm quite impressed with these and shall be reviewing some revlon lip stains and glosses soon!

Haul!

Hey guys, thought I'd do a little haul post of what I got today from the sales. Now is it me or has the sales been a little disappointing? I expected to buy loads! 
But I got a few nice things...

So first up is a Ted Baker The Name on Everyone's Lips set (contains 4 lip crayons) bought for £7.50 should have been £15.00! Nicely packaged in this tin which can be really handy for storage for something like hair grips.

 Inside of the tin

 Swatches of the lip crayons going from left to right of those in the tin, none have names.

Swatches taken with a flash, the colours do look differently on the picture than they do in real life. They are really soft and feel moisturising, and each was swatched three times on top of each other to show the colour, they are sheer but really buildable.

This little fella I got from Dunelm Mill for £3.19 should have been £3.99. It is pot/ceramic with a white glaze. I love it!

This is a beautiful cushion I also picked up from Dunelm Mill for £10.39 should have been £12.99. It is embroidered and really colourful. The texture is really good and it will go with so many things.

 This pot jug is really heavy and I like the vintage kitsch pattern on it, it'll look great with my other kitchenware. It's quite a big size and was from Boots costing £5 reduced from £10.

I love the twinings tea sets, it is from Boots for £4.25 instead of £8.50, and this tea caddy is gonna be amazing for keeping all my 'posh tea' in it. It comes with Earl Grey, English Breakfast and Assam (my favourite) tea. It has a clip lock and a really pretty blue design.

 The pattern on the side of the caddy.

This drawstring type bracelet was £2.50 from £5.00 from New Look in the sale and it sparkles really nicely and will go with a blouse to toughen it up or with my leather jacket.

Thats all I got today, hope you enjoyed reading this and cya soon! x
