Where Have I Been?

Hello my lovely's, and happy Easter!

Other than the Liebster award post (link here) its long time no see! It has been hectic! But here I am finally had time to do a quick post. So what's been going on? What's been keeping me from my blog?

I was really busy with work, worked on 4 photo shoots, had 3 wedding, 2 christenings and moved house! 

Biggest problem was..... 

I sat down to write some posts had them all nearly ready to go then *poof* I peered over my laptop to see my rabbit Steve stood staring at me all doe eyed, unaware of the devastation he just caused. He had only gone and bit threw my laptop wire! So I was stuck with no laptop for a little over 3 weeks! Only reason I can post now is I am moving into my mum and dads an borrowing a laptop.

I want to say a huge congratulations to Belle from partofbellesworld she won my giveway. I am kinda glad she won I follower her on twitter and bloglovin and she is such a lovely lady who could do with some good luck. Why not go check out her blog and give her a cheeky follow on bloglovin. 

Blog posts to keep an eye out for over the next few weeks. They are all written up thanks to the notes on iPad just a waiting the photos off my dead laptop. 

They won't necessarily appear in this order but here is what's in the line up:

*Some reviews of some lush bath bombs and bubble bars.  

*My first bloggers event FABBLiverpool. Which is broken up into 3 episodes.

*Homemade lipscrub how to and review.

*The worlds nicest cheese cake.

*Insomnia what to do when everyone's asleep.

Would You Rather Tag

Hello my lovely's I am here with another Tag post :) I love's me a Tag :)

I saw this on 'its only Sophie' blog check it out its run by Sophie Ford she is a 16 year old blogger.

So here are the Questions:

1.) Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?
- I would say eye shadows and palettes as if I haven't got mascara or lipstick on I feel naked!

2.) Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?
- I have already had 13 inches off hair cut off so I think I will go with the short hair :)

3.) Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?
- I always go for a slightly more pink cheek. So pink :)

4.) If you had $1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?
- I think I would buy clothes. I always neglect buying clothes but I don't think twice about spending money on make up.

5.) Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?
- eyeliner as lipstick!!!!! I couldn't imagine anything weirder than the feeling of lipstick on the eyes ewww!

6.) Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?
- Mac as we don't have Sephora in the UK so I don't know what they stock

7.) Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life?
- I would pick one eye shadow as you can completely change the look with a different colour lip

8.) Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?
- Summer clothes in winter! I cant stand being too hot. I would just use lots of blankets in the winter :P

9.) Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?
- I would have bright nails, I don't really go for dark colours

10.) Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?
- I don't know as I couldn't live with out mascara but I wouldn't want to not wear lipstick, ermmmmmmm give up lipstick :'( would be a very sad day

11.) Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?
- oooo If only I could do either of these now! I would love to be able to do a messy bun

12.) Would your rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss?
- Never wear lipgloss. I don't really use lipgloss often as I tend to wear creamy lipsticks with a nice shine.

13.) Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?
- This is a very strange question, I don't really like doing my own eyebrows but people with no eyebrows look scary so I would sharpie them in

14.) Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?
- Definitely live without nail polish!!!! I would hate to have no make up

I am leaving this as an open tag. If you read this and want to do it, do it! leave me a comment to say you have done it and I will pop over and have a read :)

3 Package Kind Of Saturday

Hello my lovely's this is a long post so grab a cuppa or if your like me a glass of vimto!

On Saturday the postman woke me at 9 am. I was annoyed as it was the first day in 2 weeks I could have have a lie in. So I sent the hubby down ;) he came upstairs with 3 parcels. So it wasn't so bad!

One was just an iPad cover for my glitter decorated business,

The second was my prize from Josie Cross, I entered her giveaway on her blog josielcross.blogspot.co.uk make sure you check out her blog!

I won a mac lipstick and some lush goodies, I chose heroine lipstick and Josie sent me a bunny bubble bar and catastrophe cosmetic fresh face mask.

Catastrophe cosmetic fresh face mask
Lush website says
'A calming and moisturising fresh face mask packed with blueberries, calamine and chamomile, rose, and almond oils to soothe and soften the skin.
Smoothe a generous layer of this mask onto cleansed skin and leave for 10 to 15 minutes and let the ingredients get to work deeply cleansing and calming skin down, before washing off gently with warm water.'

This mask smells lovely very fresh and fruity, slightly sweet but naturally sweet. I really picked up on the smell of rose. This mask is designed to help clear spots while soothing the skin at the same time. As it is a fresh mask you keep it in the fridge. When you first put it on it can be a shock to the system but very refreshing at the same time. When I first used this I found it quite drying but for my oily skin I love it to feel tight and dry! I left the mask on for 15 mins and by the end the mask had gone all hard so I made lots of stupid faces in the mirror and watched it all crack and crumble off! Does anyone else do this when they have a face mask or is it just me?
I used a face cloth and warm water to remove the residue and my skin felt lovely. It had a really nice healthy glow and felt really smooth! So far loving this mask :)

Bunny bubble bar
Lush website says
'Follow this white rabbit to the bathroom for sweetly scented, skin softening bubbles. With the comforting smell of Fair Trade vanilla absolute, and filled with blue cornflowers to float through the water and surround you in the bath.
Inspired by the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, this little fellow is full of rich oils and butters to leave your skin soft and conditioned. Sharing the same fragrance as our Creamy Candy bubble bar, this limited edition Bunny is as wonderful on the inside as he looks on the outside, filled with skin softening shea butter and coconut oil, with little candy eyes and tail.'

I am not going to lie this smells so sweet I want to eat it :-/ I have a bit of a problem with things that smell amazing I just want to put them in my mouth or at least lick them! (I know I am starting to sound extremely weird sorry) I haven't used this yet but I know I am going to love it. It is so cute I feel bad using it so I am going to go make sure I buy more of these :)

Mac lipstick in heroine
I am so glad mac have added this to there permanent line it's such a beautiful vibrant colour, it's such a nice purple and lasts so well I easily get 5+ hours out of this colour. It is a matte but it is more like a satin to apply but dries matte when set.

The third was a welcome pack from sigma beauty!

I applied for there pro program a little while ago and got a email saying my application was accepted but I am yet to use my discount. I am saving for a full new set of brushes but with saving for a new house, brakes for the car and we are going to Florida in July, none essentials items are getting pushed back.

When I got the box it was all crushed and open on either end! I thought what ever was in there was sure to be gone, but I was very lucky the package had wedged its self so it hadn't come out! First thing I noticed was my new pro partners card, then I opened the package :) there was so much inside!

I got:
2 brushes a eyeliner brush E05 and a blending brush E25 these brushes are so soft you will want to buy all of the brushes, good plan sigma reeling us in with samples like this!

A eye shadow pallet with 3 beautiful colours inside

Samples of eye brow powders, there is 4 duos in light, auburn, medium and dark!
Samples of 10 eye shadows, these are so pigmented! Can't wait to try out a few looks with these!

And a code to get free 18k gold face brush kit with the purchase of the 18k gold complete kit which I am already thinking of buying!

There was also a leaflet about the program
