Dear lovely readers

I'm sorry that I'm even having to write this post, but I feel that I owe you at least this much, to those of you read every post without fail, and who brighten up my posts with comments. Basically, I won't be blogging anymore. It's not by choice, and if I still could I would definitely be doing so because it's such a fantastic outlet, and the community is endlessly supportive. I am moving into a flat tomorrow, with no furniture or carpets, or cooker or fridge etc. So from now on, every bit of money I have will be saved towards buying a bed and a means to cook and bills etc. I really am very sad about this, because I love blogging, and I also love reading what you guys have to say.. and it's such a shame that it's coming to an end. Thank you for all your lovely feedback, and your beautiful comments, I love you all.

My Second MAC Lipstick: Craving



Recently I blogged about my first MAC lipstick (Impassioned) and this morning the postman arrived with this for me. I didn't actually buy this, it was a gift from my mum. I was limited to what shades I could have, because it was ordered from the catologue and the shade selection was tiny. However, I'm really glad I went for Craving, it's a lovely pinky brown, and it's a wee bit darker than it looks in the photo's; but it's still a gorgeous everyday color! It's an amplified finish like Impassioned, so it's creamy and glides on like a dream and is unbelievably pigmented, like pow wow. My first couple of times dipping my toes in the MAC pool have gone really well, and I can't wait to try out some more! Any reccomendations? :)

Five Faves: lip balms



Anyone who knows me will know I'm slightly obsessed with lip products, I literally cannot seem to stop buying them! But to have nice lips, you need a good lip balm (or at least I do, I seem to have infinitely dry lips)


Lush Bubble Gum Lip Scrub - First of all I use this to "prep" my lips and scrub away any flakes that might be lurking. It tastes gorgeous as well as effectively getting rid of any dry patches, always a bonus.

Carmex Lip Balm (mint) - I also have the original version of this in the pot, but I bought this because I don't like sticking my fingers in the pot in public, so this is much easier to use for travel, and I'm obsessed with anything mint as well!

Sleek Pout Polish - I bought this on a bit of a whim, because I loved the packaging and the color. I'm not sure if it actually conditions my lips that well, but I do really like the color and it looks very pretty!

Boots Lip Salve (strawberry) - I bought this on my boots points, and it's really nice! It glides on, and really moisturizes, although I'm not sure why they've called it strawberry, as it doesn't very much like strawberries!

Carmex Original - I know I said I don't like sticking my fingers in pots, but this is the ye olde faithful of lipbalms for me, so I thought it deserved a little shout out. It does feel more like a lip balm than the mint one does, and if I apply this while doing my makeup, by the time I'm finished my lips are soft and lipstick ready!

There you have it, five of my favorite lip balms - what are your faves?
