The hair product giveaway is on the facebook page! miss it miss out!

That's The Stuff I Don't Like!'

There is this tag going around in the "youtube" world called " That's the ish ( meaning shit) I don't like" as you know I am not on youtube but I thought I would share with you all, the things I do not like, the things that make my blood boil..


  1. When you go to someones house, and there bathroom and kitchen are dirty, ( eyes rolling) ohh my days, really, really, did I need to see that dirty ring around your bath, or that yellow stain in your toilet, not to mention the kicthen plates, looking like you haven't washed up in weeks, " errr, I'm sorry, did I just knock on your door out of the blue, did you not know I was coming over to-day?!!!! please do not offer me any food or nothing ( nut-ink!) because I will say nooooo! I can not stand dirty bathroom or kicthens.
  2. So you've finished trying on your clothes in the fitting room only to get to the cash desk and the cashiers are having a private ( yesss thats pri-vate!) conversation, now err hello, I'm sorry are we at your house, do I really need to hear how you were backing that up, or your baby father dramas! errr no, I shouldn't have to say " hello are you serving" I am a customer you, are, an, employee, know your roll, and serve me! that s**t I do not like!
  3. When a man comes up to you, trying to get your number and you've already told him you've got a boyfriend, and he wouldn't be to pleased if \I gave out my number, and they still say something stupid like " we can just be friends"  fool, you did not come up to me looking at my behind to be friends, and there's other females who would jump at the chance, just not me, get over it and move on! 
  4. You've booked your appointment at the hairdressers for 10am, 11.30am you are still sitting down waiting to be seen! helloooo, I do not have all day to sit here, waiting on you to eat your frigin food, if you didn't have the time for me tell me when I made an appointment! do not ( OK, do not!) have me waiting like your doing my hair for free! I'M PAYING YOU FOR A SERVICE, FIX UP, I'm not begging you for your time, I'm paying you for it! that stuff I do not like!
  5. Lateness I can not stand Lateness, If you know you're going to be late do not wait until I get to the venue to tell me you are on your way, when you should've been here already! come on, I have a life, and I hate waiting...
  6. Borrowing people things and having to ask for it back! 
  7. People always moaning about there life, stop moaning about it, and do something, all that negative energy, is keeping you where you are, snap out of it, make the change, only you can do it! 
  8. People who always call you and never ask how you are! are you for real! do I not have a life, do I not need to talk! "I'm sorry why did you call me!"
  9. People who look down on others like for example a cleaner! believe me most of these people who you see cleaning your offices or shops or streets are highly educated people, but there qualifications are not recognised in this country! god forbid you fall down after saying " err hello you missed a spot" and that very same cleaner saves your life...
  10. People who go to these back street hairdressers for there £20 relaxer and have a fit when they comb there hair and its falling out, " let me get this straight, you payed a hairdresser who's hair is nyam out and crusty to do your hair!" enough said! 
  11. Ignorant people, " sweetie let me break it dowm for you, ignorance is not bliss, its darn right stupidness! arhhhhhhhhhhhh! eeeeeeeeeeeediot
  12. People trying to give you advice when there "ish" is messed up! whenever people try to do this with me that song always plays in my head " move b***h get out da way get out da way get out the waaaaay!" just saying!"

Oh there's more... but for now I will leave it at that, hmmmm What are the things you do not like!

Top 5 Lipsticks for the winter months

The clocks have gone back, theres a nip in the air, its dark by 4 in the afternoon and the christmas ads are on..... winter has arrived!!!
So its time to put away those bright summer shades and go for something a bit darker, here are my top 5  for winter 2012 to suit all budgets.


NYC - 434 - Velvet Wine
A dark red wine colour with a satin finish, it may be a bit goth for some, perfect for a night out. Works really well with MAC's lip pencil in "Current".
You can get this lipstick in superdrug in store for only £1.49!!!!! an absolute steal.



Rimmel lasting finish - 128 - Starry-eyed
I saw my friend wearing this last christmas and told her I loved it, then she got me one for my birthday!!!  This is more of a pinky berry colour with a satin finish, it not too dark but still makes an impact and as the name states it really does last.
You can get this lipstick from Boots or superdrug in store and online for £4.99 again a great price.



Rimmel Lasting finish matte collection by Kate Moss - 107
I done a review on this a few weeks back so if you want to know more about it have a look, a great dark berry semi matte lipstick.
You can get this lipstick from Boots and Superdrug in store and online for £5.49



Revlon Super Lustrous - 646 - Sultry Sable
S gave me this for christmas last year, its a deep berry colour but as its a creme finish it VERY wearable, I've actually worn this everyday for the last week.
Goes perfect with NYX slim lip pencil in "Never"
You can get this lipstick from Boots and Superdrug in store and online for £7.49



MAC Rebel
This is a cult shade, I was first was told about this colour by S so on a random trip Selfridges I picked it up and have been in love with it ever since, in fact before writing this post I thought i'd lost it and was so upset that I was preparing to buy another but then I found it........... Anyway, its a stunning bold berry with a satin finish. What I love about this colour is that it looks different on everyone, I know i've seen other ladies wearing it and thinking to myself have I got the "wrong rebel"!!!! It much more expensive than the pervious lipsticks i've listed but trust me its well worth it
You can get this lipstick from MAC consessions, MAC stand alone stores or at www.maccosmetics.co.uk  for £14




So if your looking for a lipstick for the colder months ahead , whatever your budget, I hope this helps.

Sleek BB cream

So I brought this a good couple weeks ago when it first came out. There has been a lot of hype around this coming out by especially women of colour because A LOT of other BB creams have not been suitable due to the restricted colours available by that I mean in light or dark (or tan, but that's in my own opinion hahaha!!!) so you can there was a lot of expectation on sleek to get it right.



It comes in 4 shade: Light, Fair, Medium and Dark
I chose Medium which is golden caramel type colour.

The consistency is quite thick, so you don't need to put on too much, however the sleek website advises that you can put on two layer for maximum coverage, I personally think that this too much especially if you want to put on others things such as concealer or powder, you could easily end up with a caked on look. Saying that it blends quite well and you do get a decent coverage from one layer.



I do like this especially once I add other things such as my highlighter and blush. its a nice everyday product to wear instead of a heavier foundation, which you could save to wear on a special occasion or a "office to bar" day.

My only gripe is that they may want to come out with a few more colour choices which is between the "medium" and "dark" shade just like their foundations.

It is a little more expensive than the other BB creams out there in fact its a £1 more than Sleeks foundations. But I do think you get your moneys worth as it is a good product and I can see myself buying it again.

You can get Sleeks BB cream from their website www.sleekmakeup.com or from Superdrug

Rimmel London Kate Moss Matte Collection Lipstick

Its finally arrived!!!


I've been itching to try this lipstick out, I already decide from reading a previous that I would go for colour 107 which is a deep purple berry colour.

Firstly this lipstick is not completely matte which takes away the need to put a primer on top (I do this with the MAC matte lipsticks) as they are no so drying plus it glides on like a dream.
The colour is quite full on, apparently the collection contains "Ruby Powder" which adds to the intense colour hit.


I really do like this lipstick but if I was to be picky then I'm not mad about the smell of the lipstick. I'm not sure if each colour has a different smell but 107 smells like berries, to match the colour maybe?!? It reminds me of those make up set for little girls that had a overpowering scent of roses or strawberries.

If was I going to get another colour it would be 111 which is a warm red.



The Rimmel London Kate Moss Collection is available from Superdrug in store only(I have yet to see them in Boots) priced at £5.29 and for the next few weeks if you spend more than £5.99 on Rimmel London products you get a free Glameyes professional liquid eyeliner which is worth £5.49.

How I use facial wipes ( night time routine)..

If you are one of those people who come home from a long day, and just reach for those facial wipes to take off your makeup, and that's it, your done, STOP!!!  I don't care what these things claim to do, they do not take off all of your make up, and if you do not believe me, try it, go to bed, when you wake up, take a wipe and wipe your face, you'll see you still have make up left on your face...

"If you suffer from acne, or are prone to breakouts, it is so important that you take off all of your make up correctly...once you get used to doing so, when you get home from a long day, it will seem like nothing to you.."

How I use wipes

First of all, I use any facial wipes, it really doesn't bother me which brand, as you can see from the photo above. The first thing I do after a long day is ( errrhmmm, baileys on the rocks!) take off my eye makeup ( with an eye makeup remover loving N07 from boots right now), then my lipstick, after I will take a facial wipe and wipe off my foundation, when I've finished with the wipe, ( no I do not go to bed people! tut tut tut) I then dampen my face with a little water and grab my "African black soap" and wash my face..I continue to tone, ( my toner of choice right now is tea tree water from lush) and moisturise.

This is my nightly routine..

Some people will read this and be like "ohh that is soo long" my response to you is "love the skin your in, as you only get one face, and if you wear make up every day, you need to be taking the time to  cleanse your face"

They usually have offers on wipes in superdrugs and boots, plus they sell them in the poundland, supermarkets...
