NOTW - Deep plum

This colour is gorgeous for those wintery months, it's not as harsh as black but dark and perfect for those cold spells.

It's by N.Y.C from their New York range in the colour "Manhattan" plus it has minerals in it, got to be good  right?!

Midnight snack......... food was calling!

It was late and I was hungry so I ate a chicken salad. :)

A bed of peppery rocket with slices of smoked chicken with rosemary, juniper and parsley, dashed with a house French dressing :) It was delicious!

What's your favourite midnight snack?

Breakfasttt... MMMMMMMmmmm......... :)

I woke up craving a bagel, so of course I had to have one!
toasted bagel, buttered  filled with scrambled egg, bacon and ketchup is a match made in heaven!
It's so delicious, what a way to brighten a dismal day of bleak sky.
I forgot to take a picture !!

FOOD!

Not only do I love all things fashion and beauty related but food is a big passion of mine, whether it's cooking or eating it I just can't get enough!

I popped into M&S and this pesto was just calling out my name, so of course I had to buy it!

Sorry about the poor quality and the fact that this looks quite unappetising........ but trust me it's delicious 

M&S "A fragrant blend of basil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Pecorino cheese & Lightly toasted pine kernels"

It's so much better than the jar stuff, the cheese in this makes it a really smooth sauce to coat pasta.

The BEST chocolate dessert has to be Chocolate molten pudding! 

 Filled with scrumptious Belgium chocolate!

What's your favourite chocolate dessert? :)

NOTW

I haven't done one of these in a very long time! I recently went to Superdrug and came across this little beautie. Can I just say in advance about the unappealing picture of my hands and the chipped polish! This nail varnish is by Beauty uk and costs £1.99, cheap as chips :) It is in the colour "soft grey" No. 43, it's such a  beautiful colour I love it! The only way I can describe this is Gruple! it's like a cross between grey and a cool purple it's quite an icy tone and I love it, I have been wearing this so far for 3 days without a base or top coat so far so good !

Are you loving the greyish colours at the moment?

Drugstore fakes?! - Maybelline Collosal mascara

How low do scammer's want to get? I was looking on Ebay a while back and found my favourite mascara on sale for £1.00! (99p postage), a far cry from the £7.19 you pay in Superdrug. It was brand new in it's packaging so I thought why not?

........The pictures sum up my worst fears...............

The one closest to this caption with the label is a legit mascara from Superdrug, whereas the one on the right is a fake off Ebay. The fake didn't have all the writing printed onto the product (when purchasing the picture of the mascara in it's packaging made it very hard to tell)

This mascara wand is the legit one, the consistencies are allot different mainly because this one is a lot older and has dried up. The bristles are very different in comparison, this wand is the main reason I buy this mascara time and time again, it's a rather large wand and the bristles are short yet there are many of them, which coats your lashes evenly to give a voluminous effect and adds length without much clumping.

 This is the fake wand, straight off you notice the consistency is far more runny and stringy, although a difference in age, the other one never looked like this from the start. The bristles on the wand are COMPLETELY different. The other one was short bristles, whereas this one is one of those spiralled wands, which I personally dislike due to the fact they clump so easily!

The inside is also very different, L: real R: fake

The lesson learnt here for me is never again will I buy make-up from Ebay it's just too much of a high risk, it's so hard to tell, this seller had 100% positive feedback which I can't seem to understand? I never thought they ripped off drug store but I guess they do, drug store make-up is pretty cheap anyway so their hardly making much profit.

A mini H&M haul

This skirt really caught my eye was this skirt, the lace detail is really intricate and very in at the moment, paired with a simple white vest tucked in, a pendant and I'm out the door. :) Its black and has elastic round the waist so it hugs your figure:) It was £14.99, as far as skirts go especially ones as pretty as this it's pretty good going.

Close up of the pattern:

I love lace!

Next is a basic staple that every girl should have ;) 

A HIGH WAISTED SKIRT or 5 ;)

This one is just a simple dark navy skirt which I also have in Black, which again has elastic round the waist but at the fraction of the cost £2.99 On par with primark prices just better quality what more can you ask for ?! They come in a variety of shades and patterns

The next thing I got on that trip was this gorgeous nude flower headband, normally I'm not a head band wearing person but this one really caught my eye especially the price tag £1.99 what a snip!
