What rocks..and what doesn’t

What rocks

*Having not one, but TWO Sleek stands near me now <3

*MAC Pomposity l/s. Just about to get it’s own post

*Covergirl Lash Blast. Easily lived up to the hype. Will be featured soon

*Red hair. I’m obsessed. Going to chat it over next week and call my hair dresser to extend my appointment time for a colour

*iphone. I’ve just ordered one

*Youtube. I’ve just rediscovered how much I enjoy watching tutorials. Been watching a lot of iphone love videos too

* Lipglossiping. We shopped and lunched this week. It was fab, she is fab and her baby is fab. Please check her out if you haven’t already.

* USA. I don’t what it is, but something keeps pulling me back there. We’re planning another trip to Vegas next year, making it our fourth trip to America in the same amount of years <3 I will be very surprised if I haven’t lived there at some point by the end of my life

What sucks

*Going to work on Monday. Le sigh. I could just lay about, blogging, all the time

*having to wait until MONDAY or TUESDAY for my iphone. I want it now dammit

*Missing American junk food.

*Missing a good coffee everyday. Just can’t afford to buy one

*Not being able to play with all my recent make up. I’ve left it at home and I’m not there. grrr.

XOXO

What rocks..and what doesn’t

What’s rocking my world at the moment?

What Rocks

* Strictly come dancing
Oh I <3 Strictly. The costumes and make up are just amazing. It’s making my weekend at the moment and the standard is pretty high this year. Haven’t decided who I’m backing yet

*Girls Aloud Lashes
Before trying these, I hated false lashes. I couldn’t apply them, they irritated my eyes and I was constantly worried they would fall off. I recently took advantage of Superdrug’s Buy one, get one 1/2 price offer and got Cheryl’s and Kimberly’s lashes and I love both of them. The design of the glue bottle is great, the lashes are easy to apply and last all day/night.

Kimberly’s Cheryl’s

*Uggs
I know they look a bit nasty but I’m so pleased to pull my Uggs back on. I own tall chestnut and short sand ones & they’re absurdly comfortable. I’m tempted to buy a new pair out in NYC, as they’re selling for almost £100 cheaper there atm. I’m loving the grey, navy and purple ones. Click here to ‘ave a look

*MAC satin L/S in Rebel
Another dark autumn shade. I’ve swatched it in a previous post and it’s the most gorgeous dark pinky, purpley red. It’s quite full on for day (doesn’t bother me!) but I’ve worn it all day at work, to the hair dressers and then a gig. It’s amazing. It’s def going to appear properly in a lipstick of the moment post.

*Barry M Nail polish in Raspberry.
Thanks for supplying my perfect autumn nails Bazza. I’ve seen at least 2 more dark reds that I’ll be getting.

What sucks

* My sore mouth/lip
The part where my top lip meets my bottom lip(the corner of my mouth?) has become incredibly sore and dry and unsightly. I have no idea what to do with it(I’m religiously applying 8 hour cream) but it’s starting to get me down. Go away. Help would be appreciated

*Lack of motivation
Diet wise, I’ve been doing badly. I have 2 more pounds til I’ve lost a stone, and I’d ideally more after that but I can feel myself slipping. Anyone have any ideas on how I can motivate myself into getting back to the diet?

*Honey I washed the kids soap
Biggest let down EVER. Soap bar smelt so nice. Once used with washing? smells nothing like honey and doesn’t make my hands smell like honey either. Boo.

*Blog sales
Bless you girls for having blog sales but they are so terribly bad for my bank balance. I’ve spent almost £60 just on 2 sales. It’s all out of my flat deposit savings too! My feelings are once the place is bought, I won’t be able to afford MU so I may as well stock up now. I’m really looking forward to seeing it all though.

What rocks..and what doesn't

What rocks

1. MAC Sunbasque- shimmer blush.
This is my newest blush and I LOVE it. It's not a colour I ever go for(usually wear pinks/peaches) and it just gives me such a glow. Works perfectly with bronzer

2. Weight loss.
I feel so much better after losing some weight. I sleep better and I don't feel bloated all the time anymore. Fantastic :)

3. Maybelline event on Thursday
First blogger event :D

4. Omelettes
Since I'm not eating carbs, omlettes have become a big meal choice for me. Makes such a change to chicken and salad.

5. All that glitters e/s
Another new MAC purchase, it's just perfect to wear on it's own, for a bit of colour when I'm in a rush.

6. My Chloe Paddington
I'll post pics in my Scotland haul post but to me, it's the perfect bag

What Sucks

1. LACK OF BLOGGING.
I am so sorry I've not posted in a while. I've had a hideous week at work and I've just been lazing about when I get home. I WILL DO MORE NEXT WEEK I PROMISE! I have a great Scotland post to do.

2. Food rage
Although I feel better for eating healthy, I do get food rage from time to time. Depriving myself of junk food sometimes makes me angry :(

3. Maybelline event anguish
I'm excited but really nervous about this. I'm really shy and I'm not sure whether I know anyone going well enough. I still haven't quite decided if I'll come yet. I just have a huge fear of going and no one talking to me :(

4. Unruly hair
Normally I get my hair cut every 5 weeks, but after my last appointment I've had to wait 6 weeks, only to have to cancel my appointment. Now I can't get one for another 2 weeks so my hair growth will be 8 weeks :( This makes me sad. I hate my hair getting long and out of shape.

How is everyone?

XOXO

What rocks and what doesn't..

I'm writing this post pub so please excuse any spelling mistakes/mistypes, I'm a weee bit half cut. Boys are watching the most rubbish, unfunny film so I felt like doing a post.

What rocks

* Garnier pure active black head clearing scrub
Some people like this, some don't- I love it! It makes my face feel clean, soft and fresh, and has def started to clear up my blackheads.

*My ASOS union jack bag.
I've blogged about wanting this and buying it. I've used it all week this week and it's just so cool. Had loadsa compliments and it fits all of my essentials in it (including my huge purse!)

*Charity shops
I rediscovered my love for a good chazzer today and I'm so pleased with my buys. I'll be doing a haul when I'm back home next week(it's already written, I just need to add photos)

*BeautyUk e/s pallette.
I got this today. I'll talk about it in my haul post but I did a crazy look using it tonight and I was so impressed with the quality of the shadows

*Twitter
I've been using this ALOT recently, mainly to talk to you lovely girls. If you don't already, follow me at www.twitter.com/missdollygal.

*My followers
129! I love you all, thanks girls. Everytime I log on and have more followers, I make my BF guess how many. He then has to act really shocked and congratulate me. I make him :D

*Scotland
We're flying up to Scotland to visit G's family in a few weeks and I'm so excited. I just love it up there and his family are FANTASTIC. I'm preparing myself for good food, good shopping, plenty of drinks and lots of singstar

What sucks

*My weight.
I am sick to death of junk food. I just want healthy food now and I'm in a great frame of mind to lose weight. I'm starting the South Beach diet on Monday as it sounds great. I'm not fat but I'm def a lot bigger than I need to be. I feel a post coming on about this on Monday. Name and shame my weight in order for me to push myself into losing it.

*Fleas.
I think the cat we're looking after has fleas. I'm dead itchy all the time, it's driving me mad!

*Shopping emails
Fuck off sending me emails telling me about your latest collection- this goes to you MAC, ASOS, DP. I can't afford you!

*MAC hauls
All this hauling with the new MAC collections is making me sad. Sometimes I have to walk away from the laptop to stop myself from buying everything from MAC. :(

That's me at the moment, what's rocking your world and what are you hating?
XOXO

What rocks and what doesn't..

I've been so slack(ha!) with my blogging recently, but I'm really struggling for blogging topics! I've banned myself from buying make up and clothes for the rest of this month so I can't post any hauls(and they're my favs!) and I can never get up early enough to take any FOTD, OOTD pics!

What Rocks.

*Lip products
I never used to wear lipstick or gloss but I've gotten back into it in a big way. I really like Barry M lipsticks, and MAC glosses. I'm so in love with Dazzleglasses. I like choosing a lip product to go with my outfit/face each day, and re-applying at work(which I do constantly)

*Colour Crafted lipstick by MAC
As above, my absolute favorite is Colour Crafted at the moment. It's just the perfect pink for me. I wish I'd realised it was going to be so popular, I would've bought more. I've gotten all my work mates obsessed with it and now they can't get it:( Fear not! I'm on a mission to find a dupe next month so I'll share it if I find one.

*Four Weddings
I discovered this programme last night. It's brilliant. Like Come Dine with Me, but 4 women attend and score each others weddings. Complete bitch fest. It's on Living, Mondays at 9.

* NYC
I'm going to NYC in THIRTEEN WEEKS. So excited. I've been looking at Forever 21 and Sephora recently and getting in the shopping mood!

*Actual wedding
My big brother proposed to his girlfriend last Friday. I'm just sooo excited! I looove weddings and I'm really pleased for them both. I actually get a sister!!

*Getting my best friend back.
She's been at uni for the past 3 years, only coming home in the holidays, but as of next week, she'll be home forever! I'm so excited.

What sucks..

*Not shopping
It's killing me. I have to avoid shops. I went to Boots on the way to work the other morning to get Bonjela(sore wisdom tooth) and found myself lurking in the make up aisle! I had to remind myself that I was going to be late for work and literally ran away to avoid buying something!
Still, payday in ONE WEEK!

*Working Saturday AGAIN.
Just. UGH.

*Eating
I just can't stop eating. It's all really bad for me. I am going on a diet. soon. I'm the biggest ever. and I've just calculated my BMI and I'm slightly over weight. YUCK

*Cats
I love my brother's cats. I'm looking after them at the moment, but WHY do they decide it's cuddles and play time at 5 AM.

*Shoes
I'm still in shoe hell. Seriously, please tell me UK ladies, what shoes you're wearing in this vile weather?

That's me for now.
xoxo

What rocks..and what doesn't

Just a quick ins and outs for you.


What rocks..



* 2 new MAC Collections which I love. I've told myself that I was only buying 2 things from Naked Honey, and nothing from Colour Craft but I saw swatches and couldn't resist an eyeshadow and lipstick. Order in.



*My new Marc B bag. I haven't got any actual photos yet but it was £12.99 instead of £39.00 from TkMaxx! It's a black, quilted chain bag, but the stitching on the quilting is neon pink, green and orange!

* Jonathan Creek. It's fast becoming my favourite programme. There's one on every night at 9 on Uk Gold. Even though I've seen most of them, I can never remember how they've been done. I might have a tiny and very weird crush on him too.

*Long cardigans. I've bought 3 in different colours recently. What did I ever do before them? I've been keeping warm in them, with a long white scarf.

*SEVENTY THREE FOLLOWERS! HIII EVERYONE! It's nice to know people are interested in my drivel! THANKS!

What sucks..

* Not having a MAC near me so having to view peoples swatches online and then decide what I want from them. It's never the same as in real life. I hope I've chosen good colours.

*Working Saturday. I should've had Wednesday off this week, but I choose to go in and work extra flexi. 6 day week makes me sad. No Friday feeling :(

*This weather. SERIOUSLY what shoes do I wear? Too hot for boots, impending rain doom for sandals. How is everyone else coping?

*my Gal pal at work going off for the summer in a few weeks. 5 weeks without her sitting next to me :(

*Spending too much money. Lets think how much I've spent this week. £50 in Primark, £15 in Boots, £12.99 in Tkmaxx and £70 on MAC. That's almost £150! Not including coffees, mags, lunch etc. I feel a bit ill now. I'm going to have to STOP shopping.

That's it for the noo.

I love ins and outs, leave me a comment if you do one so I can read

XOXO

What rocks..and what doesn't

I would do a haul post as I've bought quite a bit recently, but I can't be bothered to get out of bed and find it all! Maybe later.



What Rocks

*Going to see Britney Spears. Complete spur of the moment, my work mate had a spare ticket the day before the show and I decided to go.


Myself and my work mates. I wore a spotty playsuit and open toed high heeled boots. Britney was awesome. Loved it.


* Going to see Miley Cyrus. I just love her. Everything about her. My workmate Lisa (the one in the middle) has got us tickets to see her in Dec at The O2. We're taking her 7 year old daughter who is going to dress up as Hannah Montanna. Too cute.


*Glitter liners. I bought a couple from Collection 2000 yesterday. They seem awesome but I haven't actually worn them yet. I'm a big sucker for glitter and liquid liner though.


*My eyebrows. They're finally getting into shape. I'm cursed with massive, thick, dark, horrible brows, which no beautician has ever seemed to be able to tame. Have resorted to waxing, trimming and plucking myself and they're looking so much better.


*Barry M Nail polish. lasts over a week. with no chips. ON MY HANDS. it's amazing. I love it. i use the combined base/top coat and nail strengthener with it.


What sucks

* Barry M nail polish in Mint Green. I wanted this for ages. I put it on last night. Not the colour I expected, far too blue. I actually prefer spring green. Shame.


*Patchy tan. I've woken up patchy. I was still patchy from my last tan application, I put more on to hide it. Still patchy :(


*Not being able to buy Naked Honey Collection yet. I want it all. I'm going to have to really choose carefully because I can't really buy it all (I'm saving to buy a house)


* Being awake at 8:30 on a Saturday morning. I'm having major sleep issues. I'm always tired. I'm on day 4 of a caffeine diet. I just want coffee and coke. I'm going out tonight so I'll obviously break it. I'm not sure what other mixer I'd have.


*Breaking my favorite heels(the previously mentioned heeled boots) at Britney. They only need re-heeling but I have no shoes to wear out tonight. Unless I wear flats. I'm going shoe shopping later!

First post- ln's and Out's

Hi Guys

This is my first post and I'm really excited about starting this. This blog will be all about fashion and beauty, mainly tips, trends I love, some reviews and my current likes/dislikes and wish lists.

I'm gonng start today with a simple In's and Out's, mainly as I've just finished my May article for Rant so I'm a bit typed out!

In's:

GLADIATOR SANDALS. I think this is my 3rd or 4th year wearing them and I'm so pleased it's sunny enough. They are just so comfortable and look so good. I might post a pic of my favourite pair later.


BRIGHT EYESHADOWS. I cannot stop piling on the eyeshadow in the morning. Ever since I bought this

which is the W7 Paintbox from http://www.discountcosmeticsuk.co.uk/. I'm now after buying an orange MAC shadow, as it's the only colour I don't have. I'm then going to attempt a rainbow eye. Just have to wait for payday!

DENIM LEGGINGS. I have wanted these for ages, I think I saw Mischa Barton talking about them in an interview at least a year ago and I finally have some. I cannot stop wearing them. I've always had trouble finding skinny jeans that are really tight at the ankles so these are the perfect solution. I got mine at Topshop but I've also seen really good pairs in New Look and Next.

TWILIGHT. I guess this isn't just going to be about beauty and fashion, but I'm suddenly obsessed with this. I got the first book last Saturday as I've been resisting it until then. I actually started and finished it yesterday and LOVED it. I'm feeling all angsty about having to wait until tomorrow to buy the next one!

OUTS

MACPRO. I recently discovered MACPRO.COM and I'm just so disappointed. I can't buy it online and they only have shops in America. I know I'm going to NYC in October but I've heard it's really out of the way and quite difficult to get into(you have to be buzzed in and all sorts) so I doubt I'll be going.SIGH.

BOOTS. It feels like I've been wearing boots solidly for years. It has only been since last October but I'm just so pleased it's warm enough to not have to wear them.

COATS. Same as boots. I hate coats and I hate that I either have to freeze to death or wear one. I think I will splash out on one for NYC and not grab a cheap Primark one like I do every year.

FAKE TAN HANDS. Ugh it's my own fault but I'm just too lazy to wash my hands properly after I tan. I am only using Dove tanning body moisturiser stuff at the moment (which i HIGHLY recommend) but I'm always too lazy to get out of bed and wash my hands after applying.

That's all I'm gonna do for now, but please let me know your in's and out's and I'll try to update this on a daily basis.
