Mrs Wippy Bath Ballistic

Perhaps one of my favourite new lush products, the Mrs Wippy bath ballistic...
I absolutely loved this! I usually avoid the bath ballistics and head straight for the bubble bars, but i'd heard that the new ones were quite bubbly and worth a try. So after having a little browse, i decided that this was my favourite scented product out of all the new items, and i quickly purchased one (the last one in the shop!). It is based on a "strawberry ice cream" and smells really gorgeous, vanilla and strawberry esque.
Lush say that it is made with soya milk powder which softens the water, making it milky and softening your skin.
Unlike the original bath ballistics, this one really "fluffed" up and was lovely and bubbly, it actually resembled ice cream as it fizzed away in the water.
I didn't stop talking about how nice it was, so much so that my lovely friend actually bought me another one when she went to try one out for herself. So i now have another wippy bath to look forward to :)
Have you tried any of the new bath ballistics? What did you think?

Fashionista Magazine

Hello girls! As most of you are aware (either from the link in my side bar, or if you have followed me for long enough you will have read the whole process) i was asked to write an article for Fashionista magazine - a magazine given out at London Graduate Fashion Week. After being lucky enough to go down to London and to the catwalk show, I picked up a copy of the magazine, which i said i would share with you.
..so better late than never!
I wrote a few different articles, which can all be viewed on the Fashionista website (linked in my sidebar), and the one that was actually published was my top fashion reads, so you can see that here if you so wish!
Be sure to check out the rest of the mag, and the other bloggers that contributed!

Happy Birthday Boo! ♥

Today i went to Manchester laden with presents for my lovely friend Boo's birthday! We had a really gorgeous day (despite the windy dull weather) ate some lunch, had a natter, and went for a Nails Inc manicure.
I went for a beautiful Navy blue polish called Halkin Street, which i also ended up buying, and Boo chose a grey shade, i think it was called Southbank? I'm not sure but it looked good!
We also got papped by Galaxy FM here
& were given some free gin and tonic and got stamped on our hands saying "perfect for the evening" :)
Anyway, basically this post is just another little way for me to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOOO! & you should too :)

Lipstick Loves #2 MAC Jazzed

First of all, a massive thank you for everyones lovely responses to the first lipstick feature posted on Saturday! The next lipstick i want to share with you is from MAC's latest collection, "In The Groove". Jazzed is a beautiful corally pink, which reminds me of a toned down vegas volt or a more vibrant shy girl, but perhaps a little pinker! I think it's such a nice colour for summer & have been alternating it with Snob since i bought it.

The only niggle i have about this lipstick is that it's a cremesheen, so although it has a lovely finish and is really moisturising, it's already started to break and i've not had it very long :(
Jazzed was the only thing that i bought from the this collection, and i think i might have to stock up before it's finished!

Lipstick Loves #1 MAC Snob

When it comes to beauty products, my guilty pleasure is lipstick. Whenever a new collection comes out, the lipsticks are the first thing to attract me to it, or turn me away. I love them. If i could, i'd have every single MAC lipstick going, although i'm one of the most indecisive people ever, so that probably wouldn't be very wise!

I mentioned on my twitter that i was going to start doing a lipstick feature on my blog, so for the first one i started with MAC 'Snob' - it's featured in the last 3 or so posts i've done on here, and seems to be getting a lot of love from you all!
Snob is described my MAC as a "ladylike mauve" and comes in a satin finish, which might just be my new favourite.
I love the smell and texture of cremesheens, but i'm fed up of them melting and getting ruined! With the satin finish it's a little more glossy & moisturising than a matte, but without the problems of a cremesheen.

It's quite a bluey/purpley pink, which i love. I've worn and loved it during the day time and also for nights out, which i like. I have some lippies that seem too dressy for daytime/too boring for evening, but this is a perfect mix. It's slowly becoming my all time favourite pink shade i think..
Have you ever, or do you think you will try Snob?

Vodka & Orange

Hi girls, unfortunately i'm a little bit too hungover to write a proper post today. But this is what i wore last night. It was a brilliant night, too many vodka & oranges, my best friend, some strangers that became our friends and who spoke with a lot of wisdom!
Hope everyone is well xxx
