Nars balanced foundation review

I  purchased this foundation, because i wanted the nars sheer glow but this was being sold on ebay cheap and in my shade, so i decided to go for it!

And.... im actually quite surprised its quite a nice foundation, i have combination skin but this foundation is stated that its most suitable for oily skin. However it worked really well for me :)
This only suits be when i used some of my xen tan, but if i mix it with a lighter foundation its fine.
However unfortunately this has now been discontinued... lets carry on the search for the perfect foundtaion!!!

The bag

Ive always longed after a michael kors bags, there just fab, Ive never been in a position to buy one full price. However tk maxx came to my rescue, offering michael kors bags on their website at bargain prices and i mean bargain prices! Although i couldn't really afford it, i had to have one lol I new this offer wasn't going to come around again anytime soon, so here she is;


This is the astor tote, suede in material which i suppose i going to have to look after carefully. She has soft good studs, a gold half chain and leather straps and of course the michael kors symbol.
Due to the colouring she will go, with just about everything :) I'm very happy with my purchase although I'm now skint haha

Maybelline XXL Mascara

It came to the time where i needed a new mascara, recently i haven't found any i love since a really old bourjois one which i really hard to get hold of, think they may have discontinued it :( So i searched the Internet and decided to try Maybellines XXL Mascara, which is a double ended mascara one white end and one black.

Step one; is a the white product with micro fibres that is said to tame, align and volumize lashes.
Step two; is the black mascara product which claims to extend your lashes hence the name.



I'm was actually quite impressed with this product to begin with for the price range i believe its a good product. I had no product fall under my eyes at the end of the day, and i felt it was easy to remove. It definitely did make my lashes appear longer although at times the mascara was clumpy  due to having to use two steps of product.
One bad point Ive found is Ive only had it a few weeks and it actually started to dry up, to be honest i don't think you get a lot of product and therefore i probably wont repurchase this item.

I was recently browsing a new blog that I've found http://annieandthemannequinsvintage.blogspot.com and they did a post about mood changing nail varnish and mood rings. This took me back to my childhood, I'm sure many of you, can relate to the mood rings from your childhood. So i was inspired and started searching for mood changing nail varnish's here's a few images i found;
