Cheryl Cole Inspired Makeup!!


As we all know Cheryl Cole is beyond beautiful, but when I saw this advertisement for her 3 words album I knew I had to re-create this look. A simple smokey eye with false lashes is the perfect combination to glam up a simple look.

What products are used?
  • MAC Studio Fix Fluid NW20 
  • MAC Bronzer 
  • Bobbi Brown Blusher in Blushed(10) 
  • GOSH brow kit (Medium Brown) 
And for the eyes I used:
  • Urban Decay eyeshadow primer (To prime the eyelids as we will need to build colour up and don't want it fading away) 
  • Base Eyeshadow-MAC Blanc
  • Crease Eyeshadow-MAC Silver Ring 
  • Corner Eyeshadow-MAC Knight Divine
  • NO7 Eyeliner in black 
  • Lancome Mascara 
Once all of the eyeshadows were applied I blended them into each other to create a subtle smokey eye look. To finish off the look I added MAC eyelashes in 31 to just give the lashes a natural but thicker look.

I then added just a natural colour on the lips MAC chic lipstick with MAC Wonderstruck lipgloss over the top to give it a nice shine. 

I had great fun recreating this look, I hope you do too. 
See you soon 
love

Clean with Clarisonic!!!




Ever felt like your facial wash just is not enough? Ever woken up to cleanse your face and still removing traces of make up? The answer is the Clarisonic!! After 7 months of using it i swear by the amazing gadget, i will now tell you why!

Why the Clarisonic Plus? 
So as you may or may not know there are a number of different Clarisonic models. The Clarisonic Mia, Plus and Classic. After months of researching and debating the Plus stood out more to me as you can put the body brush on and exfoliate your body too, which is great for anyone that loves flawless fake tan. 

How do i use the Clarisonic and what do i use it with? 
As i work for Elemis i didn't want to change my products as i swear by them, Finding out i can still use my Elemis products with the Clarisonic was just an added bonus to getting one. I currently use my Elemis melting cleansing gel with my Clarisonic on the evening followed by balancing lavender toner and Elemis maximum replenish night cream. Using my Clarisonic on the evening has helped with the absorption of my moisturiser and appearance of redness in the morning. 

Worth the money? 
When i was first purchasing the Clarisonic i debated it due to the price because lets face it.. £175 is a lot of money. I can honestly say this little gadget was worth every penny. Once you've used the Clarisonic.. you will never look back. 

I hope you enjoyed the review, stop the debating, take the plunge i promise you wont be disappointed.

Love your feet !!!

When i decided to take a shopping trip today i didn't really have in mind what i was going for, i was just going for a walk round to see if anything caught my eye with all the sales taking place. Normally when we hear sales we think of racks and racks of clothes that take hours to look through, to find that they haven't got your size, they are damaged,something needs adjusting or your disappointment by the way things look.

That is normally my kind of shopping trip, but not this time this time my luck had changed. I walked into French Connection with already disappointment wallowing over me, where on the stand just stood these gorgeous wedges (i have been searching for the right wedges for months to go with my summer dresses)


on the stand stood a sign saying sale, I picked up the shoes and they was in my size, this was too good to be true. I tried the shoes on and they fit perfectly. As i turned over the shoe getting ready for the disappointment of the price tag i was even more in love with these shoes. They started at £110 and was on offer for £27. I took the shoes straight to the checkout so I didn't miss out on the chance.

That is a pure BARGIN!! Don't you think??

Product Review- OPI Nail Envy (Original)


I have always wanted a good treatment for my nails, My nails are really stubborn nails as most of you may suffer from too!, they get to a certain length and then break so i am then left with the same old short nails.

FINALLY i found the perfect treatment, OPI Nail Envy this stuff is a miracle in a bottle. 
The one i use is the original one which leaves the nails with a nice glossy coat. 

This is how you would use this product :

  • Firstly you apply one coat to the full nail  
  • After the first coat apply a second coat but this time starting from the middle of your finger 
  • Every other day you apply another coat on top
  • After a full week remove all the varnish and start this process again. 


you can also use this as a base coat and a top coat. 

This amazing nail treatment really speeds the process of nail growth and really strengthens. I have never been so proud to show off my hands to anyone and i am definitely never going to be embarrassed about my nails again as long as i am using this product (which is now going to be all the time ).

I highly recommend this product to anyone with stubborn nails like mine once was :)

Love Abi x
