It's really terrifying how fast time flies. I told myself I'd take a 'short break' away from blogging, and the next thing I know its 2016 and the last time I wrote was 2014....I'll start with an apology as I'm not quite sure where I have been or what I have been doing all this time! If you can forgive me for being away for so long I'll tell you all about these two brushes that I have been Naomihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02836279049205809943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026449806776217360.post-75007913374630356922014-08-31T10:14:00.001-07:002014-08-31T10:14:43.276-07:00Products I've Used Up #6
My empty products drawer was starting to get rather full again, so it's time to show you all the things I've used up! I finally got round to buying the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush body scrub after all the hype, and was not disappointed. The smell was amazing and although the scrub was a little sticky, it did scrub well and left my skin really soft. I would definitely buy this again Naomihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02836279049205809943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026449806776217360.post-44215613706419717412014-08-27T10:48:00.000-07:002014-08-27T10:48:49.642-07:00Earrings Storage
If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen me post this baby a few days ago. I have been searching for the perfect way to store my earrings for some time now, as I always lose one or I forget what I have, or they generally just go astray. I think I finally may have come up with an easy, compact and dust free way to store my earrings!

Oh, there's so much I could say about these little beauties, but I'll try and keep it short and sweet. Months ago in a Christmas present, I received a sample size of these pads and fell in love with them instantly. I don't have, spotty skin, just slightly uneven and around my hairline it my skin feels a little bit bumpy.

Eeek! Meet my beautiful new kitten! I've been dying to show you all for ages but she started off a little camera shy but now she loves her picture being taken. We've named her Penny, and she's an adorable fluffy ball of playful fun. We got her at 9 weeks old and she wouldn't come near us for the first two days as she was having a little bit of a hard time adjusting to her new home.

Ohhh I went shopping. I told myself I wouldn't but I did it anyway! I popped into town to buy a kimono and came back with these. I really should learn to focus on what I go into town for...
So I finally bought Indeed Hydraluron's Moisture Booster. Now this is an absolute bargain alert at the moment!

Oh, empty products. I once begun a quest to get through all my half used products, because 90% of my room is beauty products, and the other 10% is candles (but that's another story). I started to do so well, and then went completely off the rails and bought everything under the sun and now I'm slowly being buried in cosmetics again. So I'm making a promise to myself to plough through the Naomihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02836279049205809943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026449806776217360.post-77639610037689878392014-07-01T12:53:00.001-07:002014-07-06T13:20:26.535-07:00NOTD #4: Stiletto Nails
I've been gone a looong time. I'm back now though! I've had a little re-design of the blog to try and make it a bit cleaner. Let me know what you think!
I've been swooning over stiletto nails for some time now, ever since I saw them on Lana Del Rey and I filled my Pinterest Style board with images of her and her nails. This mild obsession meant that I MUST have stiletto nails that I Naomihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02836279049205809943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026449806776217360.post-68808051744484304162013-11-28T13:27:00.002-08:002013-11-28T13:27:34.207-08:00NOTD: Essie Top Coat in A Cut Above
Ooooh glitter. The light is terribly bad in my house, and its dark outside so I haven't captured the true beauty of this polish. I saw a pinterest of rose gold glitter nails ages ago, and just knew I had to have something similar. When I was in Boots last I saw this new Essie shade (I think it's new?) and I grabbed it and I'm glad I did. The top coat is quite sparse and to get a full coat I Naomihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02836279049205809943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026449806776217360.post-81073524311650842012013-10-20T10:03:00.002-07:002013-10-20T11:48:49.054-07:00NOTD #3: Barry M Matte Nail Paint in Crush
Oh I have a love affair for matte nail varnishes, and until very recently, did not own a single one. And then Barry M released a small line of matte shades, and I snapped up two. I think there are four in total but I chose the best two. I chose a matte grey/neutral shade, and this baby - a deep vampy red that I am super excited about. It's such a gorgeous red, in some lights it can look Naomihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02836279049205809943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026449806776217360.post-5090162340454130202013-10-13T11:18:00.000-07:002013-10-13T11:19:08.805-07:00Empties #4
Woooo I have lots of empties again. I have been trying to narrow down my collection of half used beauty items by attempting to use up everything that I've got, but as you can probably tell from my most recent hauls I'm not really doing very well with narrowing down my collection! I've managed to use up a mini Aussie conditioner, although this used to work for my hair, it doesn't so much now Naomihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02836279049205809943noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026449806776217360.post-38592481433916312602013-10-12T13:21:00.000-07:002013-10-13T10:27:59.892-07:00Lips of the Day #7: Rimmel Kate Moss in 107
So in my most recent haul, I finally picked up a Kate Moss for Rimmel lipstick. I've heard amazing things about the Lasting Finish Matte range, so naturally I went for the most beautiful red. I can't figure out if I love this lipstick. I LOVE the finish, the colour isn't as deep as I would of liked, but it has wonderful blue tones that make your teeth sparkly white, and I can definitely get Naomihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02836279049205809943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026449806776217360.post-59159245006054066132013-10-11T14:21:00.004-07:002013-10-11T14:22:00.670-07:00A Boots and Superdrug Haul
What's wrong with me? Why do I keep buying things? I popped into town today just to get my eyebrows threaded, and I wanted to nip into Boots just to buy a couple of things. As we all know, one can never just nip into boots and buy a couple of things. Boots had an offer on Rimmel products where if you spent £10, you got a free mascara.

So I went food shopping today, and apparently I can't even buy food without ending up spending lots of time along the beauty isles. It turns out that Tesco have some really great offers, and I'm a sucker..
I've been needing some new moisturiser as my skin is slowly turning into 'mid twenties skin' and I'm getting those dreaded fine lines around the eyes that we all have but are ignoring Naomihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02836279049205809943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026449806776217360.post-70454106467893614912013-10-05T13:24:00.000-07:002013-10-05T13:36:01.850-07:00Favourite Things
Every now and again I use things that I get quite attached to, and I call these beauties my favourites. Lush's space girl is one of my favourite bath bombs, and they've recently changed the glitter on top to a biodegradable glitter, so they've covered it in the stuff. It still has the most amazing smell and makes the water a gorgeous purple colour, and so when I went to Lush last, I ended up Naomihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02836279049205809943noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026449806776217360.post-35223348190065778492013-10-02T08:42:00.000-07:002013-10-02T08:42:10.807-07:00Along Came Betty Pure Pores Detox Mask
I'm a bit of a sucker for this brand, the girly packaging and fun names really draw me in, not to mention the super budget price. Along Came Betty, a Tesco exclusive brand, have an impressive range of body and skincare products that are inspired by 1950's movie stars which is definitely reflected in the kitsch names and packaging.

It's been another few weeks since I posted, I am struggling to get on top of my time management! I've recently had a tonsillectomy and I'm in recovery at the moment.

I feel like I've been away for forever...Hello again! As it probably became clear, I took a little break from blogging. Life got seriously busy - I finished my MA last week and wanted to really focus all my efforts on the exhibition and my last assessment.

At the moment I'm not doing too badly with my spending ban, but it's early days. I've been having a browse on the Avon website and I've come across a few things I've decided I MUST have in my life. So instead of buying them, I'm putting them on a wishlist, hoping that I'll distract myself enough...

Hello! Just a quick little post here. It's pretty much well known now that google reader will be disappearing in around three weeks or so, and this means we are all going to lose our followers.
