Aussie Angels & Birthday Celebration Photos...

Evening ladies & sorry it's been a while! I've been mega rushed off my feet this week looking after my poorly Mum and her bad back. She's now on Tramadol for the pain and still can't yet move off the sofa! :( 

This week however I received a very exciting email from Emma at Aussie welcoming me into the 'Aussie Angels', a venture by Aussie aimed at bringing their products to bloggers and in turn educating us all of the treatments and benefits which Aussie can offer our luscious locks! 

I'm currently torn between the 'Aussome Volume' and the 'Luscious Long' tribes.. Although, as you all know I do have naturally long hair, I feel volume in my hair is more important than the length as I'm most deffo a big haired kinda' gal! Basically, I'd like to say a huge thank you to Aussie for giving me this opportunity & I can't wait to get started with my *Angelic duties!*

On another note, it was one of my good friends' birthdays last week and due to her being a Mummy to be, myself and the bestie Kirsty decided to take her out for a scrummy meal to celebrate, rather than the obligatory night out, which of course she wouldn't be able to enjoy as much! We went to our favourite Sea Front Italian Restaurant/Bar and along with Birthday balloons & surprise chocolate cake we had a fab night! 

I opted for a simple long sleeved black dress with these gorgeous taupe suede shoesies from ASOS..

With the Birthday Girlie herself...

Yummy Chocolate Cake...

We all had a fab night, as usual.. Hope you ladies have all had a fab weekend & remember if you have any questions feel free to either e-mail or Formspring me :)

Benefit Beauties...

A little while ago, for my birthday in fact, I was given a rather nice gift from my boyfriends Mum...

...This really fun and girlie makeup bag from Benefit! 

I was even more surprised and excited when I opened it up and found these little beauties lurking inside...

It included; 

- 'That Gal' Primer

- Powder Time Lover

- Confessions of a Concealaholic

& finally...

- Bathina Shimmering Body Balm 

It may sound crazy, but I'm yet to try any of the products.. I've been so stuck in my routine with being so busy with uni etc that I just haven't had the time to play about with anything!.. Terrible I know!! 

I was just wondering, out of all of these products do you have any favourites? Anything you repurchase time and time again.. I'm just curious as to which product to use first hehe 

Hope you're well my lovelies Xx

A Thousand Million Apologies & My 22nd Birthday..

Hey my lovelies...

Just wanted to stick up a quick post to say sorry for being such an awful, awful blogger this past week!

It's been my first week back at University and starting my third and final year has been a lot more stressful than I originally thought. The workload which we've been given is just crazy and by Christmas, among other modules we have to create a full magazine concept, carryout photoshoots relating to our magazine and then finally write all of the articles which will go into it. For our final hand-in we also have to have it digitally printed as a magazine 'sampler'. It all sounds so exciting at the moment, but we just have a long way to go to get everything finished and pulled together. 

Aside from University things, I celebrated my 22nd Birthday on Tuesday. Although I spent the day at work, my lovely boyfriend took me for a gorgeous meal on the evening and I was well and truly spoilt by both him and all of my family and friends. 

As far as my Blog is concerned, I have so many posts planned, I just need to find the time to be able to get the shots I need and actually write them up. Over the next week keep an eye out for a Birthday Goodies post and then maybe a MAC post so I can show you the few bits I picks up from the new Venomous Villains collection.

So yeah, sorry for the insanely boring, long & wordy post, but I just wanted to let you all know that I haven't disappeared and I will hopefully be back with some posts for you this weekend, if not, then next week :) 

Love as always xx

Boyfriends Birthday OOTD & FOTD ♥

Those of you lovely ladies who follow me on Twitter will know that my gorgeous boyfriend turned 21 on Tuesday (..Yes he is a couple of months younger than me hehe)

On the day I took him out for lunch, we then consumed copious amounts of his 3 Birthday Cakes and then went out on the evening for drinks with all of his friends and mine!

I thought I'd get some quick snaps before I went out on the evening to show you what I wore and how I wore my makeup :)

You may have realised that I haven't mentioned up above which mascara I used, this would be because I wanted to show you properly my new absolute love! 

Introducing... My lashes wearing Cover Girl's Lash Blast Mascara! 

I was lucky enough to win this in Jen's giveaway a couple of weeks ago and since then I haven't used anything else, it's totally amazing! This photo was taken earlier on during the day (different makeup..) but I only had one one coat and got this result, so you can see for yourselves how much of a difference it really makes just after one application. On an evening I've been wearing two, maybe three coats depending on how dramatic I want my eyes to look and it hasn't once clumped! - I shall be repurchasing this, whether it be on ebay, or by getting it sent over the America, it really is THAT good! 

So there we have it my lovelies.. What do you think?
