Current Wants - ASOS.

As most of you know, ASOS ran a competition where you could win £500 worth of ASOS purchases! All you had to do was enter and fill up your basket. I entered (of course) and literally had the most fun imagining what I could fill my basket with. Well, I didn't win (booo) but now I have £500 worth of lovely stuff in my saved basket that I'm dying to buy. 
I am in love with snoods at the moment, I know the S/S '11 stuff is flooding in but to me it is still very much winter. I've also mentioned that my colour at the moment is coral! I think the second dress is so cute, I love the colour and it would be perfect with some long necklaces and a big cardigan. 
My other true love is with Peter Pan collars (as mentioned in every other post, almost) so the third top is so me. Although I already have a fair few tops & dresses with Peter Pan collars. 
THESE SHOES have been bookmarked for ever, I am devastatingly in love with them. They were originally on sale for £120 (dream on) but are now at £94 (still out of my price range). If I could afford these, I would never take them off. 
I have also wanted a pair of Ray Ban wayfarers for everrrr. Definitely going to be my first purchase of spring. 
I've been looking for a big black satchel for a while now, I love oversized bags especially the vintage style. I'm planning on getting a Mulberry Alexa for Christmas (1o months away...) so I need something to do me until then. 


Today I signed up to Latest in Beauty which sends out free samples for you to review. I've been wanting to do this for ages, but there's always some catch like you have to sign up to 5 years gym membership to get a 10ml shampoo. Is anyone else a member? What do you think? Are there any other websites that do this?

My Recent Favourite(^ー^* )♪






I'm trying to eat healthy food as much as I can!!
...but 


I just can't walk past when I find these at a store...
Woolworths Double Choc Muffins!!!
:*.;".*・;・^;・:\(*^▽^*)/:・;^・;・*.";.*:
Yaaaaay!!




These are super yummy
I can't hold my drool just thinking about it( ´¬`)

But I was a good girl and cut 1 muffin in half
and ate them separately
even though it's very easy to eat a whole muffin in one go.

A half in the morning, the other half in the afternoon

 

I'm addicted to these muffins at the moment.
I must get it each time I shop at Woolworths, hahaha!!



I need to be addicted to something healthier,
like lettuce or something....



Have a nice week!!








FOTD + London

FACE: 
MAC Strobe Cream
Benefit High Beam
MAC Studio Fix Fluid & MAC Prolongwear foundation
L'Oreal Touche Magique concealer
YSL Touche Eclat
MAC Prep+Prime Transparent Powder
MAC Mineralize Blush in Dainty
Bourjois Illuminating Touch in 96 Rose Universel

EYES:
Rimmel Glam Eyes Professional Liquid Liner
L'Oreal Volume Millions Mascara
MAC Zoom Lash Mascara 
Benefit Brow Zings

LIPS: 
17 Lip liner in Rose Blush
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick 415 Pink in the Afternoon

So I bought new Revlon lipstick & 17 lip liner for LONDON and I adore them both. I don't usually wear lip liner unless I'm going out but when I do use it, I notice the difference. Mainly, no colour bleeding and lovely, fuller lips! I got the colour to match the Revlon lipstick as well. I don't actually think I own a Revlon lipstick (I probably do, who knows) but overall, i'm impressed. It's moisturising and well pigmented so I'd definitely recommend it. 

London was great! We left on friday afternoon, the train from Leeds takes about 2.5 hours so we got to our friends house (where we were staying) around 6pm. Usually when we're in London (or anywhere) it means that Graeme has a gig, so it was weird not having to do the usual check into hotel stuff that comes with it. Also when Graeme is playing, he usually doesn't drink too much before he plays, which is boring! This time he had no excuse so we got suitably smashed along with everyone else. 
The gig we were going to was the Moda London gig, at XOYO with A-trak, Starsmith, Russ Chimes and Monarchy. One of my favourite bands Fenech Soler were meant to be playing but had to pull out :(
Even though Graeme wasn't playing, for some reason people kept recognising him and coming up and asking for pictures with him. This doesn't usually happen, especially at gigs he's not playing. People kept looking over at us all night (I thought they were admiring my sweet moves) but nope, they just wanted pictures with Grum haha. 
The gig was awesome overall, my bag was checked as we went in (must have been looking shifty) I had been thinking about taking my MAC Transparent powder out with me (it's white, by the way) and I was mega glad that I didn't. I can just imagine how it would look if they saw my big tub of white powder! 
Yesterday meant a massive breakfast and a hungover train ride back to Leeds, which wasn't actually too bad. 

I absolutely must put up an outfit post because my dress was fabulous!

PUPPIES FIRST TIME OUTSIDE



It was semi warm here the other day, so I decided to let the puppies out in the back yard for the first time! They really seemed to like it. You can see Dinky run past with a stick in her mouth, lol.

ε= (^0^*) Eating Healthy☆




Sorry, it's been a while!!
I was on my Birthday vacation(*´∇`*) hehehe!!


I was really happy to hear that
some people have the same issue as mine,
gaining weight from the thighs!


Yeah, I've been thinking about it
and thought I gotta do something
otherwise I won't be happy when I wear pretty clothes,
like, clothes are pretty but not what's inside.
Well, I'm just mumbling, aren't I?


Anyway!
I've come up with some ideas to get my body back which are
TO EAT HEALTHY!!
and a little bit of exercise...


Because my stomach is so stretched out 
during the Christmas break by eating too much,
I've got to get the stomach size back first!

BUT!!
It's dangerous to reduce the amount of food all of the sudden,
I'll get hungry soon and go for binge food again.

So it's important to eat a decent amount of
HEALTHY, easy to digest foods.
Such as soup!!

I'll show you how to make a soup that I made recently.
1. Soak soup mix beans in water to soften.


2. Chop whatever veges are left in the fridge.
Onion
Mini Tomatoes
Celery

3. Put everything in a pot.

4. Pour water in and add a bay leaf. 
Cook on high heat to boil.

5. Once it bubbles up,
remove thick bubbles which float on the surface.

6. Add tomato paste and mix well.

7. Add a cube of stock and dissolve.

8. Salt and pepper and that's it!!


I like soup because I can use any leftover veges in it!


Oh, when you cook,
it's critically important not to put too much salt in your food.
Too much salt will cause puffy legs!! 


It's getting quite a long post,
I better get going now!!
See you soon!



BLUE BOWS

For this look I decided to stamp over yesterday's Hard Candy - Sky swatch. I stamped black bows and then added a baby blue colored jewel to the center of each bow.

VALENTINE'S DAY NAIL POLISH BOUQUET

Pictured above is a past years bouquet, please note this is NOT the one up for grabs this year!



IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN GIRLS!! I AM WORKING ON THIS YEARS VALENTINE'S DAY BOUQUET OF NAIL POLISH. HOPE TO HAVE IT UP NEXT WEEK.




WHO IS EXCITED??


HARD CANDY - SKY

This color is so pretty! This is a baby blue, but what makes it so special is the iridescent blue flashy shimmer that it has. While very noticeable in the bottle, it isn't so much on the nail - darn! Still, I like it :) Got it from Wal-Mart for $5.






LA SPLASH - GOLDEN SEAHORSE

Isn't this gorgeous? I love this color combo, sea foam green and gold glitter. The only thing that would have really taken this polish over the edge would have been a smattering of some larger size gold glitter. I keep thinking of a treasure chest looking at the gold glittering. This looks like the glitter is rough, but it really isn't. It did take two coats of top coat to smooth it out, but even though it feels smooth, it looks rough in these pictures. When you see the close up shots you can see that it really is smooth and how pretty it really is. This was $3.99 and I found it at Ulta.

PLEASE CLICK TO ENLARGE, it really is the only way to see just how pretty this is!!






QUICK NEON ORANGE KONAD

I have really got to get some better lighting in my NP Room and soon. Even with the overhead light and a lamp that has a main light and then another directional light, it just isn't enough. My pictures are never focused like they should be. So, sorry for the crappy photos of this. I wanted to konad my NOTD from yesterday. I used a gold for the fishnet pattern and then black for the little flowers.




FAT MEATY AND TROUBLE - A VIDEO



Watch close and you might see Banana sneak in and steal a toy! They are 5 1/2 weeks old.

NOTD - NEON ORANGE HIDDEN TREASURE

I can see Hidden Treasure making a big come back for me. I just wanna use this on everything (again!). I had to tear up my room looking for this polish the other night. I couldn't figure out where I had it packed! I can't wait to get my nail polish room set up! But now that it is out I'm gonna be using it. I can't remember if I have an extra bottle of this or not - I need to check that out.


Anyway, this is one coat of SH Hidden Treasure over Ruby Kisses Orange U Jealous. LOVE!
