Rimmel: I love fruities lasting finish


Hi everyone :]

Hope you're all well?

This is such a lovely nail polish! I want to gobble it up, it smells that good.

Yes... I did mean 'smells'.

Rimmel have brought out a 'fruities' collection that when dry, smells delicious!
The above is the only one I have at the moment (025 Strawberry Fizz) and even after hunting high and low today, I couldn't find any others. I believe it comes in 4-5 other shades, including Apricot, Lemon and Cranberry! More information can be found here.

They look amazing when on as well. The application is nearly just as good, if not better than a Barry M polish and after two coats, you get a great finish.


I didn't realise at first that it was supposed to have a fruity smell. Once i'd let my nails dry, that was when I read the bottle and got all excited. My nails, even after a shower today, still smell lovely and fruity which is a pleasant change from the normal chemically smell.


They're reasonably priced, apply easily, dry quickly and smell tasty.

Have you tried these yet?

A day in the life of

Miss Mooface

Hi everyone :]

So as some of you know, writing daily blogs is hard.

I love the idea of writing them but when you have a specific topic, it can be a nightmare!

My other blog, previously 'Pass the scales' was too hard to write, as there's only so much you can talk about. Instead, I thought I'd revamp it a little and change it into a daily blog, where I can write all sorts! From reviews (non-beauty related), post pictures, what I've been up to and all those bits and pieces.

I follow a few people on here who write about similar things and it's nice to take a break from the beauty blogs.

I will be trying to post daily, do monthly giveaways (when there's enough followers) and I have hopefully open it up for anyone to comment!

Let me know what you think and please follow :]

Just a little post to show you my polka dot nails. Nothing amazing, just wanted to share!


I haven't got the names downstairs with me but the basecoat was my good ol' Barry M one, the colours were Accessorize blue and pink and the dots were e.l.f white.


Hope you liiiiiike!

Dorothy Perkins London Collection

Hi everyone :]

This bank holiday morning has so far been filled with pyjamas, tea and reading the news, so why not throw a spot of clothes shopping in there as well?

Dorothy Perkins, here I come! It's dangerous having fashion sites saved as a bookmark icons.

I tend to check out the 'What's new' section rather freqently but hadn't in some time so that was my first stop.

For those of you who love Dorothy Perkins will be aware of the Olivia Rubin range that has just been released but it would seem that they have also released something else on the quiet... a 'London' Collection! Where was my email to notify me of this little gem?

Click here to go and have a browse at the fabulous British influenced items :]
Note: You must be armed with a cup of tea and possibly several biscuits before entering.

Here are a few of my favourite pieces from the collection:



Grey mirrored print scarf - £9.50
Navy teacup print ankle socks - £2.50
Leopard print wellies - £23.00
Cream London Eye tee - £18.00

This isn't the world largest collection, not by any means but I love the fact that DP are celebrating
Britian and at a reasonable price as well.

What do you think of the new DP London collection?

I'd personally like to see more... Perhaps jewellery, handbags and maybe more tees/jumpers?

Hope you're all having a good (bank holiday) Monday!

Needs camera advice!

Hi everyone :]

We have just moved into a two bed house (eee) and in our 'spare' room, I now have my own little makeup/hair type area.


I've been considering starting a youtube channel, just to do hauls, reviews and general chit chat and now that I have a room to do it, I figured that I'd need a decent camera!

I'd also like to eventually get a decent camera just to take pictures for the blog as well as other things, so any suggestions for that would be great as well :]

I don't really have a price limit at the moment, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know as it'd be cool to get it started soon(ish)

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks

Never again, h&m!!!!

Hi,

I'm so angry right now!!!

loved h&m and after slimming down a bit thought, you know what.. i'll treat myself to some new 'sportswear', you know, gym trousers, tops and a sports bra - much needed at the moment!

Anyway, I placed my order with h&m on the 11th April to be sent to my work address (as that's where I spend most of my time) and this was before their massive sale so everything was in stock and due to be delivered between the 16-20th April. Okay, so it wasn't going to be the quickest delivery ever but I thought, if it's here before my gym programme review (which was this morning), then all would be good, especially as I'm paying £3.90 for it.

No.

Friday I was sitting at work and everytime the buzzer went I'd like 'Ohhh, is that my parcel?'. Still didn't get it.

I emailed h&m customer services last night complaining that my order had not arrived and that no one had been in contact to advise what the situation was. Since then, I've been refreshing my hotmail like crazy, expecting something from them to tell me it's on it's way, when I received this:

Dear Amy,

Thank you for your e-mail regarding your recent order.

We are delighted that you have shopped with H&M Online for your shopping needs.

RAGE!

Firstly, why didn't they send me an email telling me about this, even if they did send a letter?
Secondly, after being told my order has not been fulfilled, do you really think i'm going to like you on facebook and sign up to your newsletter (I am going to like them on facebook so they can see this)? Also, I will HAPPILY complete your feedback form.
Finally, do you really expect me to pay MORE money to find out where the hell my order is!?

I decided I needed to find out, so called up and spoke to a nice guy (I did get really mad at him and I know it wasn't his fault even though towards the end he was seriously trying to push all the wrong buttons) who explained that they realised it was a business address, so put my order on stop! After getting really mad at this guy, I ended up cancelling my order and telling him to remove from every marketing/mailing list they have. If they cannot deliver to business addresses, why do they continue to send marketing to my work address, eh?

So now I'm really angry with h&m and haven't got my stuff but on the plus side i'm £58 up and what with moving next week, every little helps!

Gah. It's just so annoying that they 'don't deliver to business addresses' when i've received an order there before and they don't clearly tell you on their website! How am I supposed to get shopping delivered when I work full time!?

Sorry to ramble and be so angry, but just wondered whether anyone else had experienced this with h&m?

Time for smiles now :]
