Freeebieeees!

I realise I have been posting like crazy the past few days, but I can’t help it, I’m hooked! I’ve been given another bundle of freebies and testers to try out today. It’s another one of those great days where things just fall into place nicely, and people do lovely things for you. Yey! Thanks [...]

Mineral makeup

My Lily Lolo mineral foundation arrived this morning, a little late after posting it to the wrong address, then having a small feud with Mr. Postman. Still, better late than never! For the benefit of any mineral makeup novices (like myself), they are different to liquid foundations because they contain naturally occurring minerals Titanium and [...]

Virtual makeovers

Just to prove that my blog offers the best advice and reviews for makeover ideas, (modest, me? No!)  I thought it would be fun to look into other makeover sites on offer on the big wide web. After searching ‘virtual makeovers’ on Google, I was shocked to see how many hundreds of these sites they [...]

Tried and Tested

Here are a few other things I picked up on my quick shop, and my verdict on them so far… 1.) Sally Hansen  nail growth activator: At £7 a bottle it is quite pricey compared to Boots’ own brand, and doesn’t look or feel like it’s going to be any good at first. However, after applying the [...]

Jean shop

After watching this video, on a blog called The Style Diet, I decided it was time to get some new jeans! I had intended to have a mammoth ‘jean shop’ yesterday, but due to having no food in the house, and faced with the prospect of living off cuppa soups and potato croquet’s for five [...]

Best of both worlds

Before I post about my new looks and ramblings, I just wanted to point out that Makeover My Mate is also on Blogger now, so anyone who reads  my blog and has a blogger account….. FOLLOW ME   This doesn’t mean I’m abandoning my beloved Worpress, it just means I’ll be blogging twice as hard [...]

Makeup mash-up

Today was a good day! I went into the newsroom expecting to settle into my boring routine of dissertation, stress, eat, dissertation, etc, but instead I had a lovely day of girly gossiping and makeup talks. Thank you to Holly (aka my makeup master!), I have now updated my terrible makeup collection consiting of 99p [...]

If I were a rich girl…

Na na na na na na na na na na naaaaa, If I were a rich girl, I’d have all this: Not all together, of course, but I would just like to own them. That would be nice. Shame I’m a student with no job and no time to even shop. Boohoo. Please excuse the [...]

Part 2- Emma’s new clothes

Part two of Emma’s extreme makeover is here! We didn’t have much time on our hands,  what with it being Easter, and only having a few days off. So we took a little trip to our favourite cheap but tasteful shop, H&M, as money is lacking for us students! I wanted to show Emma that she [...]

Part 1 Emma’s new face

OK so part one of the mass makeover of my very best friend, Emma, involved a total makeup refresh. She is luckily very naturally pretty, but she’s not a girly girl and doesn’t care much about makeup or trying new looks. First things first I got her to take off all her makeup and bravely [...]
