Revlon Lip Butters

Now I have been using this product for absolutely ages but just never seem to have got round to blogging about. That and the fact I like to really test products like this before I pass judgement.

Well I have to say I am in total in love with these products - as you can probably guess since there is 2 of them :P
The one on the right is Sugar frosting which I got way back a few months back when boots had that mega 3 for 2 offer off and the one on the right is Berry Smoothie which I got about a week and a bit ago from superdrugs out of their 3 for 2.
The idea of these products is that they build the colour up onto your lips without leaving lips dry as lipstick can often do. To be honest thats why I dont tend to wear lipstick very often as they make  my lips feel dry and icky so for me this was an awesome alternative! They retail at £7.99 *but are currently £2 off in boots* and they are avaliable in 14 different colours ranging from red, brown, bright pink and even orange!


In terms of colours of I really like Berry Smoothie one on the right. I think that the Sugar frosting one may have been a little bit light although it did give my lips a deffiate shimmer.

I shall definately be repurchasing these again :)






Are you loving these new lip butters? Whats your favourite shade??

Vintage Fair

 So as promised I wanted to share with you my trip to the Vintage Fair yesterday. I have been to a few local vintage fairs and stumbled across one in Manchester a few christmas' ago but have never been to one of this size!
Heres the vintage fair! There were so many lovely things I could have genuinely spent a fortune! There were lots of clothes stalls with lovely clothes on, the only problem I found is being of a large size (*cough cough* not a size 10 *cough*) there was nothing which would fit me. However there were some lovely dresses there and they have inspired me to get some material and start to make my own dresses and skirts! Mum has even said she will dig out her sewing machine! I cant wait to get some material and I will of course keep you posted on any lovely things I make :)

There were some lovely jewellery stalls there too which again gave me some lovely ideas of things I could make - there were lots of buttons around which as you can probably tell I love!

I did pick myself up a little vintage bargain in the shape of a lovely pair of black shoes! They were a little bargain at £10! How cute are they! There were some fab shoes there - I saw another gorgeous pair similar to these in a corally colour but alas they were a size too small :(
How lovely are these though! Just the perfect heel height for me and with a cute little bow! I shall get some serious wear out of these babies!



 There was also a lady doing vintage hair and make up there but for a sunday and none special occasion and at £15 to have your hair done I just could not justify it considering it would have to come out/would have fell out when I was my hair tomorrow morning in the shower. However I have been having a nosey on youtube for some hair ideas for a wedding I have in July! So again if I try any I shall share them with you :)

Are you a lover of Vintage?

Quick NOTD

I know this is a late one from me but I just quickly wanted to share this NOTD with you. I went into town today and picked up a few things - top, new bag, new purse and some new polishes!
I will share the other things with you over the week but I gave myself a little mani with one of the polishes. It is technic in shade Carnival! It is as you will have seen if you follow me on instagram - AMAZEBALLS! The colours are fab and it reminds me of Rainbow Connection by OPI which i gazed at longingly for ages but never got due to the price tag. I picked this beauty up at the indoor market in town for just £1.99!

I have layered it here over Rimmel your majesty as it picked the colours out well.

I am of to a Vintage fair tomorrow so I shall be sure to share that with you :)

Spruce up your clothes

We have all had that moment where you look down and somehow you have lost a button on your Cardigan and it is nowhere to be seen. Its gutting.
I grabbed my faithful grey cardi which I got out of the sale in Sainsbury's TU range last year for £3. Bargain!! However when I came to fasten it on Friday I noticed I had somehow lost of the buttons, the next to bottom one.
Just your average grey basic cardi. My first thought was to take the top button and move it to where the missing one fell of.
Then when I was in town on saturday I had a brain wave. Why not get some new buttons, something a bit sparkly or glitzy and spruce up the old cardi replacing some of the buttons at the same time!
So these are the buttons I picked up! They were a bargain at 24p each from the sewing/button stall at my local market. And here is what they look like on the cardi.
I decided rather than removing all of the buttons to just replace every other one. And I have to say I absolutely love it! Its totally given my cardi a new look without costing me a fortune. I mean for the 3 buttons I used its only cost me 72p!!!

Have you ever spruced up your clothes by changing the buttons or making adjustments???
