Haul: Happy Birthday to Me!

As you can probably tell from the title, it is my birthday today! I thought I would share what I got with you. I did receive money too, but you don’t need to see that.

My parents got me a Mikey London Rose Gold Chain Bracelet, which is extendable because I have quite big wrists. They also got me a Kipling Bag. I’m not too sure what it is called, but it is black with coloured birds all over it. It also has a pink monkey called Alyssa.

My sister got me a Floral Thoughts ‘Apple’ Candle and H.Samuel Long Stud Earrings, which have a light lilac stone design. She also visited a LUSH shop for the first time the other week and asked me if I wanted anything. I told her of a couple of things I was interesting in trying, but she came back empty handed, or so I thought! When I opened my gifts I found she had bought me LUSH Grease Lightning and a LUSH Soap Stack in Rock Star & Godmother. She actually didn’t realise that she had bought a soap stack; she assumed it was just a bar of Rock Star. I can’t wait to use these products because the soaps smell amazing and I’ve heard great things about the spot treatment.

I also treated myself to a little gift. I did the same last year as it was my 21^st, but I think it’s going to be a tradition now. Last year I received a discount gift from FeelUnqiue.com and used it to purchase the Dior Addict IT-LASH Mascara. This year I used their gift to buy myself the Lancôme Hypnȏse STAR Mascara in 01 Midnight Noir, and I just can’t wait to try it! I will definitely be doing a review on this mascara very soon, so keep your eyes peeled!

Do you have any product recommendations for me?

Make-Up Storage ENVY!

Today I am going to talk about at topic I love and hate. I really love seeing how people organise their make-up, but I hate I can’t do what I want with mine! Last year I bought the ‘dresser of my dreams’ as it was at the time and now I kind of regret it. I bought it because I wanted more storage space, but I mostly wanted to store make-up in it. It cost me about £80 from Argos and it is a really nice dresser, but now I wish I had something smaller because I downsized my make-up collection! Don’t get me wrong, all four drawers have other stuff in them as well as make-up but it just doesn’t satisfy me. My problem is not really with the dresser although I would love one of the storage units I am going to mention, it is actually the fact that I can’t find baskets to fit nicely in the drawers I am using for make-up. At the moment the boxes are too big or too small, funny shaped, miss matched and not what I want. I would be perfectly happy with the dresser until I get my own place...

Review: Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil

This was the second eyebrow pencil I had ever tried because I wanted something that was inexpensive and maybe had an applicator with it. The product just looks like an eyeliner pencil, but on the side of the cap there is a grooming brush. The cap colour reflects the actual product colour. To apply it, you take off the cap and put it on the end of the pencil. You then just fill in your eyebrows like you would normally, just add more pressure to the pencil if you want a darker look. You can then turn the pencil upside down and use the brush. The formula is really soft and you can tell it has some wax built in to it. You get 1.4g of product and the shade I have is 002 Hazel , which is a light honey brown shade. This brow pencil is supposed to be brilliant for filling the gaps in your brows and great for lengthening your arc for a natural look. The colour should be long wearing and smudge-proof and the brush applicator should make it easy for you to groom and shape. I ...
