The "Drugstore" Mascara Review

Hello there;

I get complimented on the length of my eyelashes on a weekly basis. Granted they are quite long naturally but I obviously enhance them with a good mascara. I have no single go to mascara, I change it up a bit as I tend to get pretty bored of one certain type of mascara. And I thought it was only fair that I shared my views on the 5 "drugstore" brands that I use. 

I hate using the word drugstore, but god how else do I describe it? Not high end? The cheaper ones? Bloody hell I don't know. I guess we've just gotta get over the name and crack on with it right?! Right okay lets go, it's gonna be a long one! 

Disclaimer

First things first. I did not curl my eyelashes at all before using the following mascaras, all natural. And on my eyes, I primed them with a little concealer (Collection Lasting Perfection in Light 2) and then set this with my Mac Studio Fix powder in NW25. No editing has been done to enhance the length of the lashes only a little touch up to make the pictures brighter. I also did 2 layers of the mascara on each eye so all of them have a fair chance.

Gingerbread Latte.

A Lush Bath Time #3

Hello there;

This blog is turning into a right little Lush blog. Don't worry my next one will be make up. I 100% promise. After watching Fleur De Force's Lush haul I was so desperate to try the "So White" bath bomb.

Christmas Lush Haul.

Hello there;

After trying them last couple of the Lush Christmas ballistics bath bombs, I knew I needed to try more of the range. Because I am lazy, online shopping was not, not going to happen. I only went on to spend maybe £15, but £27 later I finally input my payment details. 

I was SO happy to see this parcel this morning, as I am currently super poorly and a nice hot lush filled bath was being called for. 

Can I just say how impressed I am with the speed this got to me. I placed my order about 4pm on Sunday and I got this on Tuesday. Impressed. Very impressed.

Katie Nails #2

Hello there;

I can't believe how well my last post on my nails went, people from all over the world viewed it. So thank you to you, if you read it!

It's already been 3 weeks since I had them done and boy was they ready for doing again. I had completely lost a little finger nail and half of my thumb nail. But other than that, they stayed pretty well. I had LOADS of compliments on them, so well done Katie for you excellent work.

Now the idea of Katie doing my nails is so she can play and try new ideas. We knew we wanted sparkles on this attempt. Glitter and more glitter. Katie already had an idea in her head, I just needed to pick my colours.

Bonfire Night 2013

Hello there;

Oh how I love Bonfire night. I love the warmth of a fire (unless the smoke is burning my eyes out. Not cool).  I love the firework displays. I love bonfire toffee. I love how everyone can get together and all enjoy something so simple. It may just be my most favourite day in the calendar. 

For the past 3 years myself and my boyfriend go into Nottingham to Forest Fields and watch the massive bonfire and firework display. This year we went with our marvellous group of friends ;)

Now it is was a little chilly, so you defiantly need to get wrapped. And it just seemed rude that I didn't do a OOTD, well I guess that should be OOTN, outfit of the night.... yeah okay ill carry on, here it is;

Monu Primer

Hello there;

I am forever looking for that perfect base for my make up and foundation. I have tried several different ones and I haven't fallen in love with any until now....

Monu Primer Illuminating Primer SPF 15. I got this little sample size in my October Glossybox.

A Lush Bath Time #2

Hello there; 

Today is my first day off from work for 6 days. This makes one very tired Sian, so it seemed only fit that I used my other Lush bath bomb; that I brought from Meadowhall for another relaxing bath. 

Book Review #1 - Blood, Sweat and Tea

Hello there;

Yes, yes I know. This is mainly a beauty page, slowly turning into a photo page too. But I feel like it is my duty as a online blogger to let you in on my favourite book series of the moment. Blood, Sweat and Tea, by Tom Reynolds. 

I was recommended this by my friend Max (hello if you are reading >.<)

Now at first I was a little dubious of what this book would be like, but was it was 99p on the Kindle store, I thought to myself "what is a pound?". Well I am bloody happy that I did buy it. It is so funny in sections, especially when Tom, the author talks about getting "stabby". It is based on a real life paramedic and is taken from Toms online blog. Sadly he does not write on it anymore, but if you wish to view it click here.

I am a huge fan of autobiographies, too nosey for my own good. But this gave me a massive insight  into the world of paramedics. He leaves nothing covered up, from how certain patients make him feel and how he is treated by patients and the LAS (London Ambulance Service). He shows how much he cares for his job and the people involved. 

I really don't want to give too much away, but please if you want some light reading this is fantastic. 

Have you read this? Or do you know of other books similar; recommend them to me!
