give away!

recently a lovely company called iconemesis asked if i'd like one of their beautiful phone covers and if i'd like to give one away to you guys! you can pick any design from their website you like, i struggled deciding but chose the fifi lapin teacup cover in the end and it's the cutest thing in the entire world!

i never do give aways because i'm not really comfortable with giving things away in order to gain followers so it's totally okay if you want to enter but don't actually follow my blog! really this is just a thank you to everyone who already reads, comments or even just accidentally stumbles upon this post. to enter all you have to do is, if you can:

-follow iconemesis on twitter here

or
-like iconemesis on facebook here

and

-leave a comment with a way for me to contact you!

i'll pick a winner using random.org next monday at 6pm!

hiya. i cut my fringe after these photos so now i look about 5 but more on that later.. not much to report really just plodding along. i should probably stop matching my lipstick and nails with what i'm wearing but err i probably won't.

i can't believe it's only tuesday i feel like this week has been going on FOREVER. my life is a constant headache at the minute, not sure what's wrong with me! just don't feel like myself at all. i think it's probably because i keep dreaming about chloe from towie pulling my hair and causing me to vom up blood. why do i keep dreaming about the cast of towie attacking me?

speaking of attacks.. loupug was attacked by an alsatian a few days ago and he's still a bit sad about it. (he's okay but) look at his little face b'awww.

where is the love?

drinking cocktail out of an actual watermelon, louie in his jumper, dress which i posted here, classy winetimes with charlene lucy rani and rachel, my face, veggie dominos with my fellow veggie charlene!

smoothie day at work!, i still buy crap primark tights, wine at lunchtime, cutiepug, the weirdest and noisiest thing i've seen, topshop shoes

the aftermath of drinking cocktail out of a watermelon, lucy and i met harry in river island, it was sunny so i wore sandals, this is actually lucys picture but i liked it, free ice cream van came to work!, sunglasses and a jumper aka british weather

THINGS I WANT

rise boutique crystal dress
charcoal embroidered dress
midi jersey dress
yellow cornelli collar dress
pedro miralles
colors of california shoes
melissa shoes

payday is forever away so i've obviously been looking at loads of lovely things i can't buy. i've been intrigued about the women's clothing at simply be since i heard they're hitting the high street and coming to the metro centre soon. i must say i'm quite impressed with what they have to offer! i'll probably be more inclined to shop there once i can see everything in person! i really love the crystal dress i just wish i wasn't such a clumsy messy person so i'd be able to wear it without the FEAR.

i also seem to be drawn to really bright ridiculous shoes with massive bows on so i obviously NEED both of these pairs. okay maybe i don't need them but i'd quite like it if they were on my feet.

okay time to stop looking at pretty things. think i'll go reminisce about the time i met harry styles in river island. because that totally happened.

sweet tart and tutti frutti

sweet tart, tutti frutti

HIYA! look who jumped on the lip butter bandwagon. i actually found these the day after my l'oreal rouge caresse lipstick post. bought them anyway though. i'd agree with the comments that they're not that similar though! i actually find the lip butters to be more drying than the l'oreal lipsticks. these definitely don't fade as nicely because today i ended up with an orange line around my lips which i didn't realise until my friend asked if i'd been eating spag bol. (i hadn't.)

i do really like them though! i like that they're not as glossy but still really easy to apply and obviously mega pigmented. sweet tart is probably the easiest to wear because it's just a nice pink but i love tutti frutti because it's so obnoxious and... orange.

i'm really not sure which i prefer though, i think the l'oreal lipsticks are far easier to wear because they fade really nicely and i do find the lip butters stick to dry bits after a which is a shame. they're both lovely products, just quite different which surprised me.

have you tried either? which do you prefer?

primark dress

this is the first dress i've bought from primark in forever! as always the sizes are a bit awkward though, this definitely runs big but not big enough to be able to downsize if you have boobs. i don't understand primark sizes at all. it's also really long! good for summer and work i suppose though. it comes in pink too which i was tempted by..

i've spent the past few days drinking smoothies, eating easter eggs and drinking loads of wine.. whilst at work! my office is the best. apart from that loupugs dadpug has been over playing and hanging out and doing other pug things.

anyway! i'm all confused with days because i was off work yesterday so today feels like sunday. i'm terrible with knowing days/dates so that doesn't help! i'm off work until wednesday though which is amazing. monday the easter bunny is bringing charlene lucy and rani to me so that will be loads of fun, expect loads of drunk tweets!

ps rachel will also be partaking in winetime but the easter bunny will not be bringing her to me because she lives practically next door.

cheap thrills

maybelline 24 hour color tattoo - 35 on and on bronze

every so often i'll take a wander around boots and buy loads of stuff because it's relatively cheap and it satisfies my need to buy things i don't need without feeling too guilty. majority of the time i regret it because i end up with cheap make up i don't wear because quite frankly it's rubbish and i already own makeup that does the job better. HOWEVER on some rare occasions i end up with new things i really really love that don't cost the earth. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES.

i genuinely don't know why i bought the 24 hour colour tattoo because i cannot for the life of me make mac paint pots work for me or any kind of cream eyeshadow really. they just slip off my lids or crease majorly. for some strange reason though, the 24 hour colour tattoos last really well on my eyes. absolutely no way they last 24 hours but they can definitely survive an average day in a hot office. super impressive! shame i don't like any of the other colours available because i'd definitely buy more.

l'oreal rouge caresse lipsticks in impulsive fuchsia and rebel red

i actually found these by accident when looking for the revlon lip butters (cannae find them) and thought the idea of them seemed similar. no idea how they compare but i love these lipsticks! they're basically a really pigmented lip balm, which is brilliant for me because my lips are so dry lately but i hate lipgloss. they're really easy to apply and because they're so moisturising they don't cling and they leave a really nice stain as they fade. they don't have the greatest staying power but because they're so easy to apply it doesn't really bother me.

the colours i picked are very 'me' colours, though i did notice there were some less bright more nude shades in the collection too! because the formula of these are so balm like i definitely didn't expect these to be as pigmented as they are - they remind me of the 17 mirror shine lipsticks but far less glossy.

soz for the extreme closeups of my face but i hate it when people rave about products but don't actually show what they look like on or just swatch them up an arm!
