Must-Have Mascaras Under £5 - Huge Life Beauty Decisions!

This past week I have been eeking out the very last scraps of my Natural Collection mascara until Monday when the joys of pay day will arrive. I began the month lapping up the lustrous Le Volume de Chanel but clearly got overzealous. Going back to the Natural Collection Lash Care mascara after being spoilt with designer goods has been mildly painful. 

The cheapest I've been able to find Le Volume de Chanel for is £24 from Debenhams. This price tag isn't going to happen. In fact, I am actually looking to spend under £5 for my new mascara as I am skint! I've whittled it down to 3 options:

1) Volume Plumping Mascara by e.l.f Cosmetics - £3.75

"For BIG Lashes" - I do love a large lash. Full of Vitamin B this mascara looks after your lashes even when your layering it all up. e.l.f describe the results as intense and dramatic - sort of what I'd describe Kim Kardashian or Cheryl Cole's lashes. I like those odds.

2) Avon SuperExtend Eye Accents Mascara - £4 (Special Offer) 

The wand appears to be exactly the same shape and width of my trusty Natural Collection mascara so I know Ill get excellent coverage and length. I've never tried an Avon mascara before but have used eyeshadow, lipstick and lip gloss from their Color Trend range and have loved every single product. At £4 on special offer at the moment and boasting rave reviews online this does look a promising option.

3) Collection Little Mix Full On Mascara Jesy Volumising Mascara - £2.99

Do not judge me. Pop-girl-group-endorsed mascara wouldn't usually be my forte however Little Mix are cute and edgy. K?! Anyway, Jesy's mascara is for those who want the big, popping lashes that look thick and fake. You can also get Perrie's lengthening option, Jade's defining option or Leigh-Anne's clear option. Ahh, bless them. I might even find the time to test some more of their wonderful little make-up range some time in the future!

Dream Summer Outfits - Day & Night!

If money was no object right this moment what would your dream summer outfits be?! I randomly asked myself this question earlier as I was trawling eBay for yet more bargains! If I had all the money in the world what would I buy for this July heatwave? Take a look:

 

Daytime Dream OOTD:

 

 

Alice McCall Silk Playsuit

Stuart Weitzman Gladiator Sandals

Moschino Leather Bag

Miu Miu Sunglasses

 

Taking style inspo from Blake Lively and Kourtney Kardashian I've whacked together this beautifully modest yet hugely expensive outfit! Simple yet effective! These gladiator sandals are the actual ones you can see Kourtney wearing in all of her recent snaps!

 

 

Evening Dream OOTD:

 

 

Moschino Trousers

ACNE Top

Elsa Peretti Diamond Necklace in Platinum (Tiffany & Co.)

Christian Louboutins

Lulu Guinness Clutch

 

I can just imagine being at some swanky do, sipping champagne and mingling with the celebs in this get-up! It's classy with a touch of attitude - and who can really resist Loubs?? My style inspo for this came from Rihanna, Victoria Beckham and Beyoncé - of course!

 

That was much more fun than I thought it would be - have you ever been on the Christian Louboutin and Moschino websites? GO NOW!

 

What are your dream wardrobes?!

Back To Barbie!

Call me crazy but I've gone backwards! Don't get me wrong it's fun to be all quirky and trendy but I've been chanelling my inner Barbie with my latest beauty choices with a full head of blonde highlights and baby pink nails!

Having spent 4 hours in the beauty salon on Tuesday I came out revived and ready for yet another style change. Keeping up with the street-chic grunge looks can be quite depressing and, truth be told, I was hoping the baggy beanies and slouchy sneakers would be left in the Winter months along with the snow and fluffy socks.

Anyhow, I chose OPI's Pink Friday for my main colour then OPI's Pussy Galore for that cheeky nail that everyone decides to mix up:

So, who was in my Nail Look Book this month? A very eclectic mix, I can tell you! From Katie Price to Blake Lively I'm loving everyone and anyone blonde and pink at the moment:

 

It's not just me gettin' my Barb on, either, as it seems the colour pink is making the fashion rounds at the moment - even HRH The Queen rocked up to the Races in a pastel pink ensemble:





 

Barbie never looked so good!

Ibiza 2013 - Beauty, Health & Fitness Countdown!

It's official! Ibiza 2013 is booked and the to-do list is in full swing...

 

It's time I got started with STAGE 1:

Early Preparation

 

 

1) The Bun & Thigh Wave Machine is set up in my living room with the accompanying DVD ready to be learnt off-by-heart!

I figured any product with THIS lady on the front which also promises results in just two weeks is definitely worth a try before forking out £50+ a month on the gym! At only £80 from Argos this is a long-term STEAL!

 

 

2) Getting into shape and getting the perf Ibiza body will take more than a few minutes on the Bun and Thigh Wave! I know this! So I'm also participating in the almost impossible 30-Day Squat Challenge AND investing in the ECI Cellulite Treatment! It's not cheating if Kim K gets away with it!! All this as well as the sit-up challenge, skipping rope and mad power walks with the pooch should see me tone up in no time!

 

 

http://cellulitereviews.info/kim-kardashian-cellulite-treatment/

 

3) Eating right is the most important part of the Ibiza countdown challenge! I'm aiming to eat between 1200 and 1500 calories per day - obviously a little more if I'm working out hard. That would be cutting up to 600 calories a day - as well as cutting fatty, unwanted meals like McDonalds and Burger King! It's salad and soup from this moment onwards!

 

4) So I'm getting my diet, cellulite and flab sorted. What about health and beauty?! Well, let's start with my skin:

I hereby solemnly swear that I will cleanse, tone and moisturise every night after removing every scarp of make-up from my face!

Amen...

 

Do any of you fellow bloggers know any pimple remedies??!! I'd really love to start trying out some new lotions and potions to try and clear this blotchy skin of mine!?

 

5) And finally...

Ibiza fashion!

 

WATCH THIS SPACE...I'm pretty sure that the second the 'Project Ibiza' Collection lands at Missguided I will be posting a MASSIVE shopping haul and showing off my new summer wardrobe staples!

Where are you going this summer?!

What are your STAGE 1 plans?!

 

Check out this very blog in July to check out STAGE 2:

The Progress Report!

Catch Up & DISCOUNTS! Come Join Me x

Oh hey there! I've been a little bit too absent recently and for that, I apologise my dears! Not only have I been working ridiculously hard, I am newly single and learning to live a happy little life, just me and Princess (my little 2-year-old Bichon Frise)! I'm going to publish this newfound life on this blog and hope you come along with me for wherever I'm headed. Should be quite a laugh so stick around?!

 

Anyway, where do I start? I celebrated my birthday on Friday night with 10 very fine specimens of the human species. Together we consumed a ridiculous amount of alcohol and partied at Cameo nightclub in Watford, Hertfordshire. Whoever Kelly is who works at Cameo, I owe her a 'Thanks'! Getting a flyer in the post wishing me a 'Happy Birthday' and free drinks and entry for my whole party, it got the night off to a very smooth start! So, thanks Cameo Kelly!

 

I would LOVE to share a picture of my outfit however not one of the mug shots make the cut! My party look right now is totally all about crop tops and pencil skirts! Thanks to my hourglass/pear figure my wide hips and smaller waist work so well with this trend! On Friday my crop top was a lacy, denim, Forever 21 bustier crop which I teamed with an ASOS black sport-luxe pencil skirt! Sambuca comes in handy when it is freezing outside, too!

 

These are my top 3 crops and pencil skirts available online NOW:

 

 

 

1) Crop It Like It's Hot from ASOS - £7.50 (Hellloooo sale item!!)

2) Colorblock Pencil Skirt from Banana Republic - £49.50

3) Sabina Jewelled Bralet from Missguided - £18.99

4) Lace Ribbon Crop Top from American Apparel - £32

5) Wet Look Pencil Skirt from Miss Selfridge - £20

6) Kym Studded Pencil Skirt from Prodigy Red - £9.99 (BARG!!)

I've been having a look at what's going on in the beauty bibles, too! An extreeeemely generous friend of mine gave me the gift of Chanel for my birthday which means reviews on their gorgeous mascara and eyeshadow palettes at some point in the next week...hold tight for these! It will be my first ever dabble with designer make-up and I'm hoping it's worth the hype!

One MASSIVE trend I adore right now is the need for C O L O U R!!

 

I'm currently OBSESSED with this lot from the Kinga Sektas Boutique:

 

California Sugarbird Earrings / Love Necklace / Cindy Earrings

 

 

I currently have permission to offer EVERYTHING on the Kinga Sektas website at a discounted offer so if you LOVE these comment below or tweet me @sheldan2207...

I own ALL of the three pieces above and, let me tell you, they are AMAZING...people always comment on them and ask where I got them from. Not only that they are all so summery and on trend right now!

The earrings can be yours for £31.99 per pair and the necklace is just £3 for a limited time only!!!

If you want these or anything else on the site, come at me for the discounts!

I'll be doing my top 3 offers throughout the weeks for this boutique - whilst the offer's on we may as well use it, eh?!

KoKo's Killin' It!

I am absolutely LOVING Khloe Kardashian's looks right now! Her daytime shabby chic get up looks comfy, versatile and bang on trend and she's always managed to pull off a smokin' red lip like a pro!

Let's begin with the Arthur George socks tucked perfectly inside those fresh Timberland's!! Rob Kardashian's sock line is available online at agsocks.com and luckily for us they now do international shipping! I'm feeling to grab a few pairs on pay day especially the dip dyes (http://agsocks.com/dip-313.html), diamond leg warmers (http://agsocks.com/tights-leggings/diamond-warmer.html) and couture zebra prints (http://agsocks.com/zebra.html)! All very hot trends this Spring!

Can I move on to her AMAZING LIPS?!?! If I had to bizarrely chose my favourite lips of all time, Khloe would win hands down! They're always so juicy looking, whether she's rocking a nude or a fuchsia! I mentioned in my beauty post last week that I'm going to be bold and rock some brighter shades this summer! If you ever needed to plump that pout, using statement shades is the way to go...

Luckily for me not only has my hair grown, it has grown FAST! So I sort of look like I tried that dip dye hair trend that went on last month...I'm happy Khloe is still sporting the same look! If she could carry this on until I have my hair done it would be awesome! What are the hottest hairstyles at the moment? I'll investigate this for tomorrow's post!

What do you think of Khloe's socks and lippy? Hot or not?!

April Lust List - Look Like An Angel, Play Like The Devil...

The transition from Winter to Spring is always awkward: Too warm for coats, too chilly for bare skin. Awkward wardrobe change aside, what I adore about this time of year is the sudden resurrection of colour - blues, pinks, oranges and purples to be topically correct! I can't get enough of the Ombre Trend right now (which is basically a neat version of tie dye, I'm sure!) as well as the super cute sunglasses that you can grab for such a bargain, too! 

I'm going through a phase where I love to team very feminine pieces with accessories or make-up that add a subconscious attitude to the outfit! Looks like an angel, plays like the devil...

Without further ado let me present this month's Lust List - credit cards at the ready!

H&M :          Slingbacks   /   Clutch   /   Dress

Missguided : Shorts   /   Cat Shades   /   Jumpsuit

 

 

River Island :    Dress   /   Crop Top   /   Tank

 

Kardashian Kollection :   Wedges   /   Clutch   /   Tote

 

 

ASOS : Necklace   /   Watch   /   Earrings   /   Jacket   /   Dungaree Dress   /   Socks

 

 

 

What do you guys think? Have I missed something off? I'm sure there's more that I want!

 

What's on your lust list?

Thrifty Thursday...On A Friday?!

Current Location: At home on the sofa..
With: Boyf, brother & pooch..
Why: We are all SKINT

Sound familiar?! Well it's not as bad as it seems. A Friday night in can actually be fun, cheap and chilled all at once if done properly! Here's my top 5 thrifty night-in guide...!

1)
Firstly, we need to establish the dinner situation: take-away, ready meal, something much more affordable and delicious?? Yeah, us too!

Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda & Waitrose are all doing 'eat in' deals that are all cooked and served within half an hour! Our choice today were the Beef Steaks in the Peppercorn Sauce - 4 for £7 in Tesco! Also reduced in Sainsbury's were some mouth-watering cream filled eclairs...
If you head to the supermarkets sometime around 7/8pm A LOT of fresh cakes, dairy and baked products are reduced so much you can feast like a bunch of starving piglets all night for less than £3 each! Mmmmm...

2)
Then comes a long evening of entertainment to arrange! ITV's new comedy offering 'The Security Men' provided some light-hearted giggles at 9pm and before that a mighty Dog The Bounty Hunter marathon was enjoyed: Our collective TV guilty pleasure! Friday nights aren't renowned for their fab TV options but they are excellent for an injection of horror with something like Ghost Hunters on Sky Livit or celeb chat shows on C4!

3)
Following some light procrastination via Twitter, Facebook & YouTube I imagine we will indulge in copious amounts of tea, munchies and probably more telly. If not, bring out the big guns and get competitive! I'm not saying it won't end up in tears but drag out that old school racing game from back in the day - we recently downloaded Crash Bandicoot Racing for a couple of quid! I've heard Black Ops is a fun multi-player choice too...I'm usually lost by then and am usually found either blogging, Tweeting or jammin' on SoundCloud!

4)
Other amazingly obvious night in pleasure is usually enjoyed with girlfriends: Renting/buying stupid films and DVDs plucked straight from the bargain bins in HMV, Asda & Play.com ... Things such as High School Musical, Zoey 101 & Legally Blonde! Having a ridiculous dance/shuffle around whilst stuffing digestives in your happy mouths! (Anyone else secretly begging this to happen very soon??)

5)
Many a night in has been spent playing Monopoly or Game of Life...as sad as it sounds I miss the occasional board game! One of my favourites was played two Christmases ago when my cousin got it as a gift: Sequence! Never under-estimate the fun factor of board games! Really!! If board games aren't your bag, spark up cheeky card games...instead of paying for money try swapping the chips for biscuits..or cupcakes..or any food fancies that tickle your pickle!


So far I've not spent more than £15 in any situation...AND I'm in a tracksuit, snuggled under my duvet listening to the April Showers outside! I may gain a major food belly but I'm chilled out, happy and money-saving all at once!!

So, if you're going out tonight, enjoy! Live like it's your last...although remember: It's not what you do or where you go, it's WHO you do it with!

Pass the doughnuts will you...

Top 10 Bargain Beauty Buys

When I'm reading other people's blogs I always get so jealous that they are reviewing or recommending products from MAC, Benefit or Clinique! These babies are not only wonderful but they also come with a price tag that I just can't condone splurging that much on such a small item! So, until I'm healthy-wealthy I will stick to spending less than £3 on each of my make-up bag items; I have all I need for all eventualities and all for under £30! Here are my Top 10 bargain beauty buys that I just can't live without:

 

Natural Collection Shine Away Foundation - £1.99 - Boots

Natural Collection Pressed Powder - £1.99 - Boots

Natural Collection Eye Liner - Not Available Online (Otherwise I use Rimmel Jet Black Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Pencil - £2.99 - Boots)

Africa by W7 Bronzer - I got for £2 on a market stall in Watford but also available online at Amazon for £3.41

E.L.F Duo Eyeshadow Cream in Blueberry - £1.50 - E.L.F Cosmetics

Disney Eyeshadow Palette - £2.99 - H&M (Not now available but other palettes are - CLICK HERE)

Natural Collection Lash Build Mascara - £1.99 - Boots

True Colour Lipstick in Liqueur - £4.99 - Sleek Make-Up

Rimmel London Professional Eyebrow Pencil - £2.99 - Boots

Natural Collection Cover-Up Stick - £1.99 - Boots

 

Although cheap and cheerful this collection is all I need for everyday make-up, nights out, lunches with the girls, dinner with the boyf, everything!

50% of it is from Natural Collection - Boots' own range of cosmetics. I find that not only are the products excellent value for money they also rival their dearer competitors: I tried out the Maybelline Great Lash Mascara last month and found that not only did I pay over double for it but it lasted half as long as the Natural Collection mascara! It dried out in less than 2 weeks whereas NC Lash Build lasts me well over a month at a time.

 

NC Eyeliner does smudge throughout the day which is annoying. I'm considering trying out the Studio Makeup Mist & Set from E.L.F (£3.75) to see if it holds it in place!

Has anyone used this or have any other tips for smudgy eyeliner?!

 

The bronzer from W7 is one of my greatest ever beauty discoveries! Casually browsing a beauty stand in the Harlequin Centre in Watford I found this for about £2. It was one of those spur of the moment, 30-second purchases which I've grown to love! It's so much darker than all my other face shades which really accentuates my cheek bones and because of the multi-coloured blush and thick brush that comes with it, you get a pinky-tanned glisten perfectly wearable in the day and evening times.

 

The most expensive item in the collection is the Sleek lipstick. Luckily for me this was a Christmas gift but it has definitely got me hooked on the brand! Sleek is also available in Superdrug which is handy if you're out and about on the high-street. I have it in 'Liqueur' but am hoping to try something bolder next time like 'Loved Up' or 'Exxxagerate'.

 

For £25 I have basically stocked my make-up bag for at east 1-2 months with products that are reliable, cheap and look great! Who said being on a budget meant we had to suffer?!

Ebay APPrehension - iPad APP Review

Desirable of the week: The eBay iPad app.

Brilliant but concerning all at the same time: The utter tentativeness when I placed my first ever bid, then the sudden rush of hysteria when I am still the highest bidder when that little red time is ticking down from 10 seconds...

9...

8...

7...

6...

Why did no-one else bid this high? It's such a lovely blouse...ISN'T IT?!

5...

4...

OMG It's a scam, it's not really ASOS it's Primark!!!

3...

2...

1...

ENJOY YOUR NEW ASOS BLOUSE 12 BEIGE!

 

Panic spreads throughout my OCD mind like a crazed wildfire burning every inch of shopper's satisfaction and I start flicking through the pictures again. There are only two pictures - one of the blouse hanging on someone's bedroom door and one of the label...THE LABEL!! It clearly states ASOS and the size. Fine.

 

Continuous e-mails flood my inbox - PAY NOW, ENJOY, OTHER ITEMS RECOMMENDED FOR YOU...

Where am I the casino?!

I'm exhausted and still have to work out how to use PayPal, leave me alone for one minute.

They have recommended a fabulous pair of jeans in my size though...

FOCUS.

 

PayPal is just something else isn't it. Somehow my credit card is already fixated onto the account but I can 'add funds' from another bank account if I register it. Ok, since my credit card is looking mightily full these days I'll add funds: Following the instructions on PayPal, I logged into my online banking account and transferred £2.50 into my PayPal account. I'm not tight or anything (I am) but even this had me worried. PayPal are definitely going to commit fraud or something.

 

Ok, paid for and confirmed - my lovely, silky, flowy blouse will be on the way soon.

Wildfire burnt out and shopper's satisfaction creeping back in, I had a quick look at those jeans...

And the River Island bralet, the Boohoo dress, the Calvin Klein bra, the MAC Lipstick...

 

It's done. I'm now part of the seedy world of eBay addiction. I've won a dress, skirt, bra, lipstick and a blouse and every time such a mix of emotions welled up inside me that, in the end, I just pretended not to notice.

 

Most of the decent stuff on eBay is usually sold for the shop price anyway (or for over a tenner which, to me, defeats the object of an online car boot sale) which has lead me to dislike the thing. But the app is still there, right in the middle of my iPad screen staring at me just to come and peep to see what I can find. I scroll through the Women's Clothing with such a stiff pokerface, refusing to bid on anything, but afraid of missing out on the world's biggest bargain.

 

So blogger friends, if you haven't succumbed to the eBay dragon yet - DON'T! It's a seedy market place where everyone stares at you like it's your first day at school: Evil eyes that seem friendly until you're attacked by a hungry pack of women all vying for the same vest top - However the smug sense of accomplishment when you win that vest top is of the same sort of pleasure as that of finally kicking your childhood bullies in the nuts!

 

ADDICTION: Doing something that you know impacts you in a negative way (rinsing funds from my bank account for used goods) but doing it anyway.

 

Happy Bidding x

How Would You Wear It?

Hi guys! I asked around to see if the 'Street-Chic' trend is working its way into the lives of every day girls or if I'm just trapped in an online fashion spin. Turns out most of the ladies I asked love the look, which you are most likely to find on celeb-BFFs Rita Ora and Cara Delevigne, but said they either didn't know how to put it all together or the look it just too over-styled for grocery shopping and the school run. Fair enough.

However one little lady styled the joggers I used as an example piece to absolute perfection. Simple, affordable and down-right comfrotable there is no excuse for us not to rock this trend!
Libby Burgess, 16, from Hatfield is a Junior at Bradley James Hairdressing Salon but her dream career is to be a Fashion Designer. Styling the Parisian 'Genius' Joggers from New Look's new collection she said:

"I chose this bomber jacket, plain t-shirt and blazers to pair with the stylish jogging bottoms as I feel that the look is on trend and would be something you could see Rita Ora wearing. I think that the bomber jacket classes up the jogging bottoms and creates a different tone over the whole outfit."

 Libby added: "If I were to wear this outfit, I think that I'd feel bang on trend and accepted in the style I was wearing. This outfit could be worn from going out to lunch with some girlfriends or shopping, or even to an event. By simply changing the shoes to something classier you can change the whole outfit, allowing it to be adapted and worn anywhere."

 

I love the colour pop trainers on this look, and the Font Crop ASOS Top is also amazing for the Monochrome trend at the moment!

Oscars Label Lust vs High Street Copies

The Oscars are more about who is wearing what than who is winning what. Every year the world's biggest stars in the industry show up in show-stopping suits and gowns reminding everyone how deliciously rich and beautiful they are.

 

From funny lass Leslie Mann to the stunningly petite Salma Hayek, my top 9 ladies put everyone else to shame whilst celebrating last night's awards bash:

 

 

 

Anne Hathaway - Performin' Les Mis in Prada

Leslie Mann - Attendin' the Vanity Fair 'do in a stunning orange Andrew Gn gown

Diane Kruger - Rockin' a Giambattista Valli cape-back dress (which she teamed with Laboutins)

Naomi Watts - Sparklin' in head-to-toe Emilio Pucci sequins

Natalie Portman - Takin' things very seriously in her Dior gown

Emily Mortimer - Showin' off her enviable figure in a fitted midnight blue dress

Britney Spears - Pullin' out all the stops with a floor length sequinned number and a new brunette 'cut

Reese Witherspoon - Pullin' in her tiny waist in a Louis Vuitton gown chosen by her daughter

Salma Hayek - Winnin' hands down the award for most delicious lady in her Alexander McQueen halter neck dress

There's no need for us to be jealous, though! I've searched the inter-webs for wearable, high-street versions of these ceremony stunners, and seeing as most of us aren't being invited to such prestigious events such as the Oscars, I've decided to shop for visits to our local boozers, clubs and house parties!

 

 

 

 

1) Get Anne's tiered ruffle look with the Tula Dress at Monsoon (£89) - It comes in Cobalt Blue, Nude & Green

2) Structured-shoulder dresses are hard to come by! This gorgeous little red number is £27 from Missguided

3) Get your cape on this season! It's much easier for us to wear a cape as outerwear because we are not Diane Kruger. I chose this W-toky Jacket by Diesel at House of Fraser - £125

4) One shoulder sequins as seen on Naomi Watts... and online at Boohoo.com for £20! BARGAIN!!!

5) It's not quite Dior but it is floor-length monochrome - this Paprika Maxi Dress is £32 from ASOS

6) Hybrid Fashion have a huge range of dresses with every neckline and colour you could possibly need for a chic entrance like Emily's at the Vanity Fair Oscars After Party

7) It's quite hard to party in a dress as long as Britney's - so I'd go for the French Connection Midnight Sequin Dress so you have room to throw some shapes!

8) Nothing says 'HERE I AM!' than a royal blue, structured, strapless panel dress! The one at Chiara Fashion is only £20

9) This Paprika Bodycon Dress at Very is as close as we are going to get to becoming as perfect as Ms. Hayek herself. At £36, you can't go wrong trying, can you!?
