Sleek Lips!

Back in February when I went to BlueWater with Nicola, we spent a long time browsing around Boots at the beauty bits, and I ended up picking these two goodies up. I then put them in a storage box to review and totally forgot about them!

So alas, five months later the review is finally here!

The lip liner is in a shade called Raisin, and is currently £4.99. The lipstick is called Smother, and is also in Boots for £4.99. I'm not a big lipstick lover, which I've mentioned a dozen times on this little blog. But something about a dark purple lipstick makes me super happy.

I can't get away with red or pink lips, unless it's a lip stain - no idea why! But if I want a lipstick to wear, then I've got a load of dark purples and a black to choose from. This one is just dark enough to work for me, and with the lip liner in a similar shade, they compliment each other really well.

Good God, I love this colour.

What goodies from Sleek do you like and what do you think of the above shades? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

Dragonfly Heels

At MCM London Comic Con last year, I found this awesome stand of geeky related shoes from a brand called DragonFly Heels. A little company from Newquay in Cornwall, they have a store on Facebook to buy their goodies from. All handmade and customised, I fell in love. I didn't buy any on the Saturday, but by Sunday I hunted the stall down and bought myself some Harley Quinn glitter heels for £50. I love them and the fact they're designed like Harley's outfits!

I started following them on Facebook, and I've also bought a Harley Quinn glitter bag to match the shoes, but I've put it somewhere in the attic and cannot find it for the life of me! The bag was £25, and all customized too, just like the shoes.

And then in May, they put up a picture of some Star Wars flats for 'May The Fourth Be With You' and I obviously had to get them!

Due to them being flats, they are super comfy, and I can wear them with a lot of different outfits! The design is mainly of Darth Vader, Bobba Fett, and a Stormtrooper. There are little studs around the edges of the shoes, adding a lovely final touch to the design. I've worn these a few times already and it so good to be able to have a sort of subtle nod to my geekiness!

I highly recommend this company if you're after customized shoes or bags for a touch of geek in your lives. Check out their recent Comic Con Stall, Mickey Mouse shoes and Ghostbusters Pumps! Have you tried DragonFly Heels before? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

Miles Of Smiles

Oh how I love Lush! I hadn't been into store for quite some time, but after dragging my sister in there one afternoon, I picked up these Miles Of Smiles Toothy Tabs for £5.95, along with some other goodies.

The idea is that you nibble on one of these and then start brushing your teeth as normal, to give you a super fresh feeling. I've seen a load of great reviews of these online so I thought I'd try them out.

I was super disappointed in these. I'm not sure if it's just me or maybe the fact it's a totally new texture for me, but I really didn't like these.

It felt like biting into a weird minty perfume powder, and the taste left an odd lingering feeling in my mouth. I brushed straight away, and along with my Colgate toothpaste, it just didn't work. I wish I liked these as I love the concept behind it and think they're quite handy if you're out and about!

I've tried a few times to see if I can get along with them better, but it just doesn't seem to be the case.

Have you tried these yourself, and if so what did you think of them ? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

Picture Perfect 14

Why hello there July! Snuck up on us pretty quickly didn't you!? Summer is in full swing as we've been hitting temperatures of mid-to-high 20's here in my little slice of England! I mentioned my epic sunburn in my last post, and it's finally started to fade to a little brown tan, by the other side of me is still a bit white! It's quite funny to look at... Anyway, here's my fave pics from the past month or so!

Hope you've all had a wonderful month and are excited for the summer to hurry itself up!! What have you been up to the past few weeks? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)
