This week i'm loving: Blistex



Blistex Moisture Max and Blistex Lip Brilliance both PR samples.

I'm a lipbalm 'collector' to put it lightly. They're everywhere. I keep a few in my bag, a few at my desk and a few in my make up drawer so at any given time I can whip them out and get fabulous moisturised lips. Some admittedly work well than others. Blistex is a brand I keep coming back to time and time again. It has always done a top notch job.

I find the Moisture Max is the perfect prep for lipstick. I wear it throughout the day to ensure my lips are lipstick ready in the evening as let's be honest, there's nothing worse than dry cracked lips poking through. It kinda ruins the knock out effect of a red lip don't you think? It can get a bit sticky but this soon sinks in. I'm also a sucker for a lip balm in a tube. I really don't like the idea of sticking a dirty finger in and out of a pot - god knows what it will be like by the end of the day! This tube helps it to glide on easily.

I'm not really a lipstick wearing during the day - not quite brave enough yet - so I like a tinted balm to help enhance my natural colour. When I read it had a bit of shimmer I had to admit I was bit put off as I don't really like a disco ball effect happening on my lips. But once applied it had just the right amount. It's a pretty rosy pink and looks great as an extra to everyday make up. It makes you look like you've made a little effort for your daily commute. It also doesn't hurt that it helps to increase the fullness of your lips. Eat your heart out Jolie!

Have you tried any Blistex products?

Hot pink



Outfit:
Mesh black midi dress - Asos
Pink Lipstick - Topshop All About Me
Pearl bracelet - Thomas Sabo
Genuine fake gun mental Michael Kors watch - Turkey
Pink two tone heeled sandals - c/o She likes

When I was asked to pick something from the She Likes website I didn't have to think twice before choosing these beauties. This style of shoe is fast becoming a firm favourite and the colour combination is gorgeous - perfect for the summer months which we will hopefully be getting! They're just the right heel for work too. My feet can't cope spending all day in mega high heels. I thought I'd embrace the pink theme with my toes, fingernails and lipstick. I do love matching!

This weekend will be spent making money. I've got my fingers and toes crossed. With a bootsale lined up on Sunday and a plan of ebaying my life away, I'm hoping that a Zara spree will be on the horizon. I'm dying to get my grubby mitts on this leather jacket as my Primark one is ready to be thrown away. Isn't it absolutely gorgeous?! I'm trying to curb my spending and save some of my wages so I'm going to only allowing myself a blow out with Paypal money. I've got a few holidays coming up and my wages never seem to go very far at all! Working in London completely ruins my bank account.

What do you have planned for the weekend?

Nothing left to make me feel small luck has left me standing so tall





Outfit:
Off the shoulder black crop top - c/o Boohoo
Tulle black midi skirt - Next
Gold heeled black sandals - c/o Boohoo
Giant drop diamond earring - Primark
Gold cuffs - c/o George At Asda
Red Lipstick - Chanel Rouge Allure 99 Pirate

I attended the Boohoo press day a good few weeks ago and was very kindly given a voucher in the goody bag. As soon as I spotted these shoes on the website they went straight in my basket. I love the snazzy gold heel which helps make them look a little bit different. I was a bit worried about them giving me sausage legs - ankle straps can be a bit unforgiving - but I think they look ok. This strappy sandal seems to be my shoe of choice at the minute and I'm snapping up far too many different variations than is necessary. Primark have some cracking choices!

I wore this outfit out over the weekend for a girls night out with my mum and nan in the local noodle bar followed by numerous jugs of cocktails in Wetherspoons. Who says we're not  classy birds eh? I think we're going to try and make it a monthly date as what's better than having the chance to get dressed up and stuff your face. Maybe next time I'll give the crop top a miss as the food baby did not look attractive!
