How Much Is Your Face Worth?

Recently I've seen that many beauty bloggers have been doing the 'How Much Is Your Face Worth?' tag so I decided to do it myself and I must admit I was very shocked with the outcome. For anyone who doesn't know how the tag works it is basically where you take note of all the products you use on your face for any FOTD, write down the costings of each product then work out the total.


Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser (Normal/Combination-15ml) = £7.25
Docteur Renaud Apricot BB Cream (Natural) = £24.30
Rimmel Hide The Blemish Concealer (Sand-002) = £4.49
MAC Sheer Pressed Powder (NW25) = £20.00
Benefit Hoola Bronzer = £23.50
Stila Convertible Color (Petunia) = £16.00

Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil (Dark Brown) = £2.99
Rimmel Soft Kohl Eyeliner (Black) = £2.99
Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara (Black) = £8.99
Benefit 'They're Real!' Mascara (Black) =£18.50

Benefit Sugarbomb lip gloss = £13.50

Total = £142.51

I actually am really shocked that my 11 daily face products came to that price, oopsy. But oh well, I don't know what I'd do without all my beloved beauty products.

Comment and let me know how much your face is worth, I'd love to know all of your outcomes as well.

Pinterest Monthly Favourites

Hey guys,
I'm sorry it's been a while. I've been ultra busy during the school holidays. Also I just haven't had any fresh ideas on what to write. I didnt want to bore you with a load of chatty nonsense. So I decided that after I wrote about relatively new social networking site Pinterest that I would do a blog post on some of my favourite pins that I have seen this month.


 
If you like this sort of blog post then comment and let me know. Also if there's positive feedback then I'll try to do this sort of thing every month. If you would like to see more of my favourite images then follow my pinterest account (Click Here).

Pinterest



After many months of not knowing what to write I finally came up with something to share with you all. Pinterest is a media sharing service that allows members to "pin" images, videos and other objects to their pinboard. It's almost like a virtual mood board which allows you to make all different boards for different things you want to plan or even just remind you of objects/items you like. I've been very fond of pinterest for the last few months and it's now something that I've become slightly obsessed with. Although it is classed as a social networking sight I do find it a lot more relaxing than other sites. You can pin your own pictures that you've found on the internet or perhaps you've taken yourself and then pin them onto your very own boards. Or you can just browse upon the 32 different boards that pinterest provides you with and "repin" or "like" the different images/videos you like.

Check out my pinterest account by clicking on the link below and if you enjoy what you see then follow me and see what else I pin:

Roses Are Red

I've mentioned the vintage jewellery webite Roses Are Red before but I've never gone into to too much detail on what it is and what it sells. Having purchased some jewellery from there myself I feel I can give some good feedback on the quality of the jewellery, as lets be honest know one wants a ring that's going to snap within the first day of wearing it.

All the jewellery is hand made and of a really high quality standard,  and from the items I've bought I am really pleased with neatness and precision of the products. So I was very surprised when I found out the price, it was all so affordable and I seriously reccomend going on her website and having a look yourself.

Here are just a few items on her website that have really caught my eye (All pictures taken from  http://rosesarered.bigcartel.com):
I must admit this caught my eye minly because I'm a big sucker for rings
I personally can't get enough of them and I've fallen
in love with this 'Vintage Loveheart earring and ring set' and it's at the bargain price of
£10.99!

I've had my eye on these earrings for quite a while and I just love
how perfecct and cute they are, and I will definitely be purchasing these in the future!
Roses Are Red Earrings-£6.99

I saw this ring and instantly fell in love with it, I love the intricate detail on the band
and the beautiful blue rose! Definitely one to add to my ring collection!
'Gaia' antique ring-£8.50

I love these earrings, they have a distressed, old, silver look to them which makes them quite 'vintage' looking.

  
 
  
 













Fly Away Home Earrings-£6.00

How I'm going to do this is to give you links of some of my favourite Christmas songs and give you some exciting festive pictures to look at.

Although I will make sure I take plenty of photos over Christmas day and I'll give you an update on how my Christmas day went!

My Top 5 Christmas Songs:
1. Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday
2. Slade - Merry Christmas Everybody
3. The Pogues & Kirsty McColl - Fairytale of New York
4. Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You

The Day I went Photography Mad!

Around two weeks back I was round my dads house. We went to the cemetrey to visit my uncles grave and added new flowers to make it look more fresh and ready for the autumn/winter seasons to come. I did bring my camera with me just in case there were any good flowers to get some shots of and indeed there was! Here are a few examples of the shots I got!












I didnt want to bore you with to many flowers so I only added 4 photos, but I think thats enough of a taster to show you what I did with my day! Anyway I have to say goodbye for now, but I will make sure I make a few more blog posts on my half term experiences! Have a good rest of the weekend, and a good half term week, Cheerio!

Love
Amy

Film Star Fancy Dress!

Hey Guys!
Just going to talk to you about an up coming event in my life. On Saturday I have my step sisters 30th birthday party to go to, and the theme is film stars. I had a bit of a struggle trying to decide what to go as. I considered things like Snow White, Elizabeth Swann (from Pirates of the Caribbean) and Marilyn Monroe…But I finally came up with...*drum roll*...One of the Pink Ladies from Grease!

I only decided last night and went on to an amazing website called
Party Delights, I was really impressed with the selection of costumes they had and thought they were reasonably priced. The outfit includes some shiny black leggings, a satin look pink ladies jacket and four iron-on name badges so you can choose which character you want to be, which I think is really good so you can have a think about what you're going to do and you can use it more than once by doing different characters.

If any of you want to look at the costumes I have bought click on the link
HERE.

Check the website out and let me know what you think..
