Xmas Pressies: Modalu Bag and Wallet

Hey everyone, hope you all had a great Christmas, and haven't gotten too plump like I have :P

Haven't posted for a while now, but I though I'd do a quick one with my favourite pressies off my parents.


I have a thing about Modalu Bags, I know they're not Chloe, Dior or Gucci or anything, but to me I like them because they're not too expensive and they're excellent quality.

I got a nice black Naomi Shoulder Bag and the Broadway Large wallet, which is really spacey for all that cash I don't have,hehe.


I really recommend that you check out this designer as they do really nice bags.

I have two Broadway clutches from last year, and another clutch that has a bow sort of design (I'll post some pics next time I post).
I also coloured my hair back to the old auburn shade before Christmas, as my hair went from ginger to blonde, and even though I'm a natural blonde I don't think it suits me and I feel happier with a dark red, for some reason.

I didn't really get much in the way of makeup for Christmas :(
My mum said I had too much and wouldn't buy me any, dammit.
Never mind, I can get me some of those new Mac collections when they come out :)


I did however buy a Mac Pink Swoon blush before xmas which I totally love (I'm wearing it in the pic above, not sure if it shows though), and I think it's going to be my new HG blush.


I did also get some boots from Dune from my parents, but I'll have to post about them tomorrow, as I haven't a pic of me wearing them, and if I was to take a pic now it would look weird because I'm in my PJs :)

Anyway must get to bed, it's another late one for me,hehe.

New hair colour!


Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing great and ready for Christmas (I'm not ready).

Last week I decided I wanted my hair to be a bit lighter, I felt like the darkness along with the darkness outside was bringing my mood down, so I decided to buy some home kits and do it myself.

Well that was quite a big mistake, I'm not going to lie.
I thought I'd bleach the colour I already had out, and start again but I ended up with patchy blonde and orange hair :/
So I then popped a dark auburn colour on and it kinda turned out how I wanted it, thank god.

So here is the finished product :P hehe.


Sorry I look crap, I only popped some Mac mineralize powder on today.



My hair is now a more fiery, gingery colour. It doesn't look so bright in real life, but the camera makes it look a bit different.
Anyway what I learned from the experience is not to muck around with those bleach kits.

You know you have Problems when...

Well it's almost 5am here in Wales and I'm still up. Insomnia!
You know when you have even more problems when you start looking around your room, and looking at your makeup collection at almost 5am and find a Gorgeous Blush that you've never even looked at :S
Clearly I must be nuts :P

Anyway enough of my weird nocturnal behaviour, look what I found, and I'm definitely going to wear it tomorrow.


Well it's the Yves Saint Laurent Palette Pop Collector Powder for Face and Cheeks from the Spring 2008 collection (I think).
I'll be mixing all colours for a nice medium pink colour.
I love that it gives a little, tiny bit of shimmer and isn't OTT with it, as some blushers can be, which make me look greasy instead of glowy.

Sorry the swatch above isn't that good, my camera is a bit rubbish.
I'm so excited I found this :D

Anyway I'm going to hop back off to bed now, and try and get some kip, though I'll be waiting to get up so I can put my makeup on and try this :)
I'm excited.

Food Post: Banoffee Pie

Hi everyone, I haven't bought much makeup lately even thought I do have some from before I need to post about, but tonight I thought I'd post about something else that I really Love. Food!

I made a very simple Banoffee Pie. I got the recipe from
HERE. It's very easy to make, and you don't need all these weird ingredients for it either.

So here's my take on it.


I did try to take it out of the tray tidily, but failed,lol, it might look messy, but it is very yummy, if you like sickly food that is :)












So that's my first post on food. :)


Also, I'm thinking of going a lighter red, possibly the red/blonde colour (below) , so it doesn't make my scalp so noticeable with my hair loss. I always have to make sure I have no blonde roots, because the contrast of my bright white scalp and dark red hair makes it quite noticeable.
You can buy this colour from Superdrug if your interested.
(Pic taken from superdrug site)
I'm hopefully going to speak to a new doctor tomorrow about my hair loss, and I'm going to as if a thing called Adrenal Fatigue could be the cause of it.

I was speaking to a lady the other day that lost some of her hair, and it turned out that she was suffering from this. I took a look at the symptoms and seem to have most of them, even the putting weight on the waist symptom :( but it could be from eating too much pudding,lol.

Sorry if my health issues are boring to read about, but it is sort of the reason for a lack of posting, and crap waffling posts too.

Anyway I hope you're all having a good evening, I'm off to eat my banoffee pie now ;)

Quick Fotd!

Hi all,
I just thought I'd post a quick fotd of the make up I was wearing today.
I'm quite afraid of colour on the eyes, mainly because it doesn't suit me.
So because it now gets dark around 4pm here (very depressing) I decided to use a coloured eyeliner, I wanted a little colour to lighten things up.

So here we are :)

Thank you for looking :)
