Hello 2013

So... I haven't blogged in a really long time :(

 

This is mainly due to working two jobs, when I'm not at work I'm shattered and sleeping but hopefully pretty soon that will change and I will have more time for other things I enjoy.

 

Since Christmas I've been taking some well deserved and well earned time off and have finally managed to complete decorating my room.

My mum was lovely and got me some new furniture to welcome me home from University, but I still had a slight storage problem for my make up and nail varnish. I was looking through you tube videos and blog posts and found the IKEA Helmer and it just so happens to be the perfect solution and looks lovely in my room.

I also got some lovely candles from a very good friend that makes my room lovely and homely, it took me forever to persuade my mum to let me light candles in my room... even though I'm 22 I get the impression she thinks I'm a child who is going to burn the house down.

I am in love with my Neom travel candle, it's just the right intensity for my small room and I love how it has nothing harmful in it and that there is no nasty black shoot! As soon as payday arrives I shall be purchasing some more of these beauties as it seems very unlikely that this one is going to last very long!

I have also started a love affair with MAC Cosmetics, there a brand that I have wanted to try for ages but since being a student I've never had the money to spare so now that I'm working it has started to be one of my monthly treats.

I got my dad to pick me up a blusher whilst he was in America (I daren't ask for anything more... it was hard enough persuading him to go to a make up counter for one thing!) and it was a blusher that I instantly fell in love with and is now something that I reach for everyday.

I also recently picked up some lipsticks and lip glosses (unfortunately I've already lost one of the lipsticks on a night out... stupid drunken self!)

The Bobbie Brown counter also called me from afar whilst on a shopping trip and a little purchase was made, it is an adorable pink shimmer blush... review will be coming up soon!


So there are lots of things I need to write some reviews on and now that the love affair with MAC has started I can not see an end to it any time soon the want/need list is forever growing.

Also coming up will be a Birchbox UK review as I decided to re-sub to JolieBox just before the announcement, it will be nice to see how it compares to Glossybox as I'm not sure if having two beauty box subscriptions is a bit much!

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and New Year and I look forward to a happy 2013 of blogging!

Miss KG

I just wanted to share two of my favourite shoes from Miss KG at the moment.

Working with shoes all day just makes me want to buy so many of them and of the perks of the job is that I get to try them all on when they come in , only problem is I never want to take them off.

One of my favourite Miss KG shoes at the moment is called Harlequin.

(http://www.kurtgeiger.com/women/harlequin-48.html)

Lots of customers ask me what these are like to walk in and the honest answer is that they are like walking in a wedge, they are actually really nice to wear and can imagine them not killing my feet on a night out.

I love the studs on the back of these the most and that there is an ankle strap, my feet always slip out of heels because of my high arch and it's really difficult to find shoes I love with a strap to hold my foot in.

I am also loving these boots by Miss KG called "Fuss"

(http://www.kurtgeiger.com/women/fuss.html)

You might be able to tell that I have a bit of a thing for the studded look. I think these will look great with skinny jeans or leggings and a biker jacket. 

There is a strong possibility that these are going to be my go to boots for the winter. 

Are there any Miss KG shoes/boots for AW12 that you're loving at the moment?

Nails

I haven't had many nails posts lately and that's because I've been getting them done professionally so they hardly ever change.

I have been having acrylic nails because mine never seem to grow and also I can't stand having chipped varnish. In one of my jobs painted nails isn't really allowed but in the other one painted, manicured nails are compulsory - this was causing me a nightmare!

I decided to have acrylics as it meant my nails were always neat and tidy for one job and well the other job couldn't tell me to take them off.

When I got back from my holiday a few weeks ago however the acrylics had caused a lot of damage to my nails as water had got trapped beneath the acrylics and had started an infection :( booo. Now don't get me wrong acrylics are awful for your nails and I was fully aware of this... I didn't realise that they could cause infections!

Therefore I am now no longer an acrylic nail lover.... my lovely nail technician Shannon has been trying to get me away from them for months and I never listened so this was the perfect opportunity for her to get me to try gellux.

Gellux is put on just like a nail varnish but is cured under a uv light so it dries instantly and does not chip, having it on my nails has also helped them grow and not break :) brilliant!

The advert for Gellux boats that it should last 15 days without chipping and dries instantly so it doesn't smudge.

Because of work I haven't been able to try out all the lovely colours on offer but in the new year I'm hoping to be able to take advantage of them.

Today was the second time of having gellux and I decided against french as it gets a bit boring and have hone for a really pale pink instead 

Do you like? I can't wait to try out some more exciting colours!

Kurt Geiger

Hello :)

It feels like ages since I've done a blog post and have lots of posts coming this weekend :)

This post is dedicated to my job. At the moment I'm working at Kurt Geiger until I find the right graduate job/get into the police force.

Now ever since I got my first part time job working at Faith Shoes I have developed an unhealthy shoe obsession and my bank account does not thank me for this.

Since I've worked at Kurt Geiger this has got sooooo bad and my discount is still not activated (silly HR!! ). But we are meant to wear heels to work so my manager got me some and I am extremely excited to have bought some lovely Nine West Heels which I have to say are THE most comfortable heel I have ever worn and since I wear them for many hours running backwards and forwards to the stockroom this is saying something.

These are my gorgeous shoes from Nine West called "Drought" 

I'm slowly getting used to this walking in heels thing, I've never been very good but things are improving and my shoe collection (that was already rather large) is growing and welcoming in some new members of the family!

What are your favourite Kurt Geiger shoes at the moment?

Sorry!

It feels like forever since I last did a blog post and a lot has happened... so this is going to be a very quick catch-up and hopefully the start of more products reviews and frequent blogging!

So since my last post I have GRADUATED! It was a truly amazing day and I got really spoilt by my family. the week after graduation my daddy took me to London and treated me to lunch at the Ivy which was AMAZING. I've never tasted food so good and the service was faultless... now I thought that was my graduation treat but next stop was the Mulberry store.... where I was bought a lovely mulberry handbag (the bella hobo) and an equally as lovely mulberry purse which is bright pink and the love of my life! (a separate post for these with pictures is to come :)) Needless to say I was one very happy girl!

(It's me in the middle!)

After graduation things got a bit boring and there was a lot less excitement! I've been for lots of assessments and interviews for graduate jobs and am still in the process of securing my dream job... partly because I have no idea what that is!

Now the reason I've been so busy is that I'm currently working to jobs to resemble some full time sort of job. I work for Kurt Geiger as a sales assistant, which is fab as we have to be glammed up for work and well tbh I have a bit of a thing for shoes seeing as my teenage years saw me working for Faith shoes! So that part of my job I love and my shoe collection  has already grown, but I hate some of the other aspects especially rude customers, but am learning to deal with them!

I am also a bar assistant working things like weddings at a golf and country club.... now this job I LOVE it is so much fun and I work with some amazing people who just make me laugh all night, but there are never many shifts and hours are so unpredictable so it's an as and when kind of job.

Thats about it for now I'm busy working hard and get to have a family holiday at the end of the month just after my birthday which I'm looking forward to!

Soooooo coming up.... lots of she reviews... looking forward to showcasing my NineWest flip flops and some delightful pictures of the new love of my life (My Mulbs of course!!)

Update :)

Life has been very hectic at the moment and it doesn't leave much time for hobby's :(

I've just finished university and have no idea what I want to do with my life, so at the moment I'm working two jobs for the summer while trying to figure out my life!

The plus side of that is that I now work at Kurt Geiger which has kick started my shoe addiction! The down side is that I am also working an evening job which is draining me of my energy but is also great fun as I work behind a bar with a lot of great people :)

But my evening job bans nail varnish :( so I'm finding myself painting my nails at 7am before my day job and trying to drive to work without smudging them and then frantically trying to remove it at 6pm before starting my evening job so all the fun in painting my nails is removed :(

But I indulged at the weekend and on my way to work popped into boots and had a little look at their new Essie stand... I haven't bought an Essie varnish because they are a bit on the pricey side but I decided to treat myself to one and luckily I've had a few days off this week and really love the colour I bought

Here are a few snaps- the colour I chose is Lovey Dovey which is a lovely barbie pink and is the colour I'm going to wear when celebrating my one of best friends 21st on Saturday night 

Sorry for the bad picture I am still to unpack my camera even though I've been home for a month!

That picture is with 2 coats of the colour and one coat of a nails inc topcoat.

I've had this on since Sunday night and it is yet to chip as well which is brilliant as I HATE chipped nail varnish with a passion!

Next week is a big week for me and I still have lots to do... I am graduating university! There will hopefully be lots of pictures to show everyone!
