Lip of the Day; Revlon Stormy Pink

Bonjour my pretties!

It's Friiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiday!! 

Any plans for the weekend? I shall be glued to my tv watching XFactor......I can't wait to see what Cheryl/Dannii wear this week!

Anyway............

I think at the last count, I owned roughly 1422649856543997676 pink lipsticks. 

This means nothing now I have Stormy Pink in my life!

Blurry iPhone photo....boo!

Another matte lipstick from the Revlon A/W range, this one is slightly creamier than Smoked Peach. Wearability is great, I only reapplied twice today. 

Again, Revlon lippies are available from Boots/Superdrug. 

Lip of the Day; Revlon Smoked Peach

Hi Girls,

I think for Winter I'm gonna concentrate on some Lip of the Day posts.......with maybe a FOTD thrown in for good measure. I'm having some body confidence issues at the mo, so you wont be seeing me from the neck down for a while!

Anyway......I give you Smoked Peach by Revlon.

Ooooooh Pretty!

Part of the A/W collection created by Gucci Westman, Smoked Peach is a matte lipstick......which can feel quite odd at first. I got over that after about 30 seconds when I realised how goddam pretty it is! It leaves me with lovely peachy lips, not too pale, not too bright. Perfect with a cosy Winter wardrobe of taupe jumpers and camel coats. 

Available at Boots/Superdrug

FYI - this product was provided by the lovely PR folk at Revlon. It is something I was looking at purchasing anyway, so I was very happy to receive it!

NOTD; Barry M Nail Effects

I hunted high and low for this bad boy....but my god, was it worth it.

The idea behind it is you just slap it on over the polish of your choice and then sit back whilst it does it's own thing. Hello arty crackly nails!

£3.95 in Boots/Superdrug or on the BarryM website. 

NOTD; Revlon Emerald City

Hello chickies!

Are you all having a super weekend?

I was lucky enough to be sent some goodies from the Revlon A/W Collection, one of which being the new Emerald City matte nail polish.

Look at how beautiful it is!!

As always, I used two coats to achieve maximum opaqueness......and I gotta say, this polish applies like a dream! As you can see, its not totally matte, which makes it different to all the other polishes I currently own. I love it, and am considering spending valuable Boots points on the Ruby version. 

Whaddya think? Is a matte polish your thing?

Guess who's back?! Back Again.......

Enough with the referencing to an Eminem song....

I'm back!!!! YAY!

So....in the past month I have;

• Moved house! After 4 months of living with the in-laws, Bloke and I moved into a new flat. Its right next to a shopping centre, which will probably lead to disaster and I'll end up broke. Although at least I'll know how to get to at least one place in Edinburgh now......being a Southern Softie with no sense of direction doesn't bode well when people ask me to go places.
• Got a new job! Having walked out of the Tanning Salon over fears for my safety and sanity, I am now back doing what I love and was born to do..........playing with makeup all day! 
• Decided enough is enough! As soon as I have some spare pennies (end of Oct hopefully) I shall be joining Pure Gym in Edinburgh. Fit, lean and healthy is the new Black.

I have a mega backlog of things to blog about......please bear with me, we'll get through it together!

I shall leave you with this thought.........with less than 3 months til Christmas, have you started your list yet?

A Quick Hello......

Hi Girls,

This is just a wee note to say I'm in the middle of moving house so won't have Internet for a coupla weeks. Posting from the iPhone is proving a complete disaster so if you wanna get in touch, contact me on twitter; @nicolalalalala

See you soon!

NOTD; Chanel Paradoxal

I'm blaming this purchase entirely on peer pressure.

Picture the scene.........after weeks of umm-ing and ahh-ing about whether to purchase Paradoxal on it's release, I had decided to leave it. Somehow I found myself in John Lewis ridiculously early on Saturday morning hovering around the Chanel counter, having ran away from the Bloke who wanted to do grown up things like buying cushions.

 I only went to just look at the bottle in person.............honest. 

And then it happened...........somehow the Chanel Boy convinced me I needed it in my life. Out came my debit card and one £16.50 transaction later this little baby was mine!

It's mostly grey-based, with a purple shimmer through it. Blink and you'll miss it though.....

Having said that, I think I may have found my new most favourite thing ever. Just look at it........it's all murky and dingy. 

And I LOVE it.

This is a ltd edition, so if you really want it I suggest you hotfoot it to your local Chanel counter ASAP.

FYI - this product was purchased by me for review.....i am considering purchasing a back-up cos i love it so much....
