Pictures from Paris

You may know that last month Chris and I went to Disneyland Paris for my 21st birthday, I put a few photographs up when we got back and loads of you loved them, so I thought I'd add a few more for you to check out. We're very snap happy and had around 4000 photographs and even after deleting the rubbish ones, we still have 2000, so these are literally just a couple!

Smooch Duo Eye Shadow in Dare to Bare


Smooch was a brand new company which was launched just last year and ever since I first saw them on Holly Arabella's blog, I've wanted to get my hands on something from the range. I cannot count the amount of times I've headed onto the website filled the basket and realised I probably should not spend anymore money on cosmetics. So when one of the ladies on Beauty Box Swaps had one going I snapped it up straight away.

Rimmel London Apocalips in Galaxy


Today I'm reviewing the amazing Rimmel London Apocalips in Galaxy.

I have a love-hate relationship with lipstick, I sit in awe of girls rocking a red lip and wish I could do the same. I just can't pull it off, I'm not sure whether I lack the confidence or whether it's because my lips are so small, but I just feel a bit silly in lipstick.

When I heard about the Rimmel Apocalips I headed straight to their Facebook store and picked one up in the presale. I chose galaxy which I would describe as a "your lips but better" shade, which is what I tend to go for. I was expecting to be disappointed, like I always am with lip products, but if you're a lipstick phobe like me, this is for you. The texture of these is really nice, they are not sticky or wet, they just apply and dry like you're wearing a moisturising lipstick which I love. I've applied it both with the applicator and a Real Techniques detailer brush and find them both easy to use. I don't think the shade looks out of place on me which is definitely a first for me and I enjoy wearing it! I'm definitely going to try out a few more shades and see if this fixes my fear of lip colour!

LUSH Sale Buys


Yes my name is Stephanie and I'm a shopping addict. Sales scream to me like a poor little lonely puppy saying "Stephanie please buy me, I'm lonely and I have no friends". Okay maybe that's all a little full on but it's true, sales are my addiction.
