NOTD: Collection 2000 in mocha

I only applied one coat of this, although it does say on the bottle to apply 2 - 3 coats I dont like the feel of that many coats on my nails. Plus I think the one coat looks pretty good which this colour. :)

Youtube Channel

I haven't updated my YouTube channel for over a month now, and there is good reason for it as well. I decided to take a break from that channel and my other one. Things have been getting on top of me lately and I just needed to get away from making videos and get things sorted out.

My channels are no good for me (or others) if I am not 100% focused on them, plus all I have on that one is apologies for not making videos sooner.

I don't know if I will be back to making videos this year, there is a lot going on. Not just with problems but with Christmas due I need to get things sorted and planned out, as well as knowing where we are going to stay this year (which may be down south).

So yes, hopefully next year I will be back to making videos and updating this blog more.
The videos I am hoping to do more on that channel is mainly about my weight; what is happening with the diet, the exercise, how much I have lost etc.
I don't expect that channel to be exciting, that is not what I was hoping for when I created it, it is mainly for me to see myself change and in some way get a bit more confidence.

Make up buying ban

Yep, the title is right.
I have set myself a challenge to stop buying make up, until I have used up most of the make up that I own.
That includes no entering for freebies/competitions - which I have gotten most of my make up from.

So yes this is gonna be a real challenge, one that I have mixed feelings on. I am really excited for it, to see how well I can do but the other part is trying to hold myself back from entering competitions. (Sad and bad I know but it is true, I so like to enter comps..)


I will hopefully do an update blog to this in a couple of months time or so..Just to see if I am still on this challenge or not :P

Review: Jennifer Aniston Perfume

In August I had received something in the post and was packaged in a big-ish box. I couldn't remember what I had bought and then it struck me and I couldn't stop jumping about (sad I know, but I like receiving things in the mail).

It was the Jennifer Aniston Perfume, and oh my it looks beautiful. The bottle design is simple yet it has that little twist to it, so it doesn't seem that bland, which I love.
The smell is gorgeous, I feel confident when wearing this perfume as I don't feel it is overpowering yet you can clearly smell it.

I have never ever bought any perfume online without smelling it first in the shop, it was a risk, it could have been a waste of money, but thankfully it wasn't and I just love it.

As I am not that good at detecting what smells are in there I am basically gonna copy and paste what it says on the website.

• Top notes: citrus grove accord and rose water
• Middle notes: blooming jasmine, wild violets and Amazon lily
• Base notes: sensual musk, golden amber and sandalwood

 I got some of my family members to smell this perfume to see what they could smell (like I said I am no good at detecting what smells are in there), and they all pretty much noticed the musk in the perfume.

What I like about this perfume is how the scent changes for everyone, I have seen many reviews of this product and they have all detected a stronger scent from what the last reviewer did.
So in my view this perfume is suitable for all types of people.

Sadly for those who don't live in the UK you can not get this, as it is exclusive to the UK area. But if you do have a friend or family member, or even someone you exchange products with from time to time who does live in the UK you could easily ask them to get it for you and send it to you.

There are two sizes, 85ml which costs £36.00 and 50ml which costs £29.00.

Review: ELF Organiser bag

The ELF Organiser bag is beautiful, the perfect size for travelling with, its not gonna take up too much space in your case/bag, and can carry a load of make up products and brushes.
It is basically two bags in one, being held together by magnets, don't worry about it falling apart or that the magnets are not gonna be strong enough to hold it all together if there is too much in, because it can.

The "outer" bag has 4 slots for brushes or something similar to those sizes, on the other side there is a zipped pouch, which has a mesh material so you can easily see what you have in there.

The "inner" bag is pretty much where you keep all the products in. The inside of the bag has a nice feel to it.



Like I said before, the bag is pretty strong to hold a load of make up and it wont damage it in any way.

There are 4 colours you can choose from they are: Silver, Black, Bronze and Burgundy. They are not overly bright, but not dull colours either. I think there is a colour for every one's taste.
The bag is not complicated which I like, (I have seen many make up bags with too many pouches and zips which can be confusing and frustrating if you are in a rush), it is very simple.

Over all this bag is brilliant the price, easy to clean, strong and it looks good. I defiantly recommend this.
