LOTD - GOSH'S Darling

Hello my lovely girls!

Quick Lipstick of the day post!

The cult item we all love & own..... Darling by Gosh

My friend and I had a sort of mini photo shoot haha, so excuse the very posed pictures!











I first bought Darling over a year ago - after a rather bad relationship with Barry M's 101 - Waaay to pale for me, it was not pretty

But Darling is so creamy and moisturising and only £6 - Definitely the nude for me

It has been a gorgeous pale lipstick love affair with it and I have never looked back!

Don't we all love Darling! The best & cheapest nude lippie in the world?
I think so!

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend,

99p Brush cleanser & Storage!

Hey Dolls!

Todays post is about brush cleansing & storage!

So I have never used an expensive brush cleaner, I don't own any lovely Mac or Bobbi brown brushes
So I don't see any need for me to shell out on an expensive cleanser

Here are my dirty brushes -



I have a variety of brushes from Cosmopolitan & Ruby and Millie to cheap 17 ones and they do me just fine!

A girl simply still needs clean brushes, even if they aren't deluxe ones


I suggest Tesco Coconut shampoo!- 99p for 750ml






I've often read about people using baby shampoo and I've tried that myself also, but you know I love coconut!

This shampoo has added moisturisers, smells gorgeous and the massive bottle will last you for ages!
It will leave your brushes lovely and soft & smelling delish!

I totally recommend using a cheap moisturising shampoo if you are looking for a brush cleanser!

Just in case your interested?
I wash my brushes twice weekly & my foundation brush three times a week
This really is a must, they work so much better & you definitely have less chance of breaking out

After washing, I just mould the bristles into their original shape and lay them out on a towel to dry!



On another note

I thought I would share with you something new I picked up the other day and it is a great way to store brushes





Pink heart pencil holder - This is only 99p from Tescos!
Its meant to be a stationary holder and would look so cute on a desk, but It's so pretty and is a fab brush holder!

And how satisfying when your brushes are all clean and fluffy and sitting in a cute holder!




Hope you girlies enjoyed this post
Do you have any good brush recommendations or brush cleansers?

Lipstick of the Day - Pink blush

Hello my lovelies!

So as an alternative to the usual FOTD
I thought I would start doing short and sweet posts featuring the lipstick I am wearing of the day!

Pink blush - Rimmel







Apolagies for the very posy pictures haha



Pink blush - Rimmel

This is such a gorgeous colour
A bright bubblegum pink - Somewhere along the lines of MAC's Saint Germain & Viva Glam Gaga

It has a lovely creamy sheer texture so is a sheer step into the big bold world of bright lipsticks!

What do my girlie's think?
Has anyone tried pink blush?

Chanel Chance - Zara Dupe

Hello Dollies!

As a fellow beauty blogger, I feel it is my most important duty to inform you of cheap dupes!

We all love a cheap alternative, especially if it is a Chanel alternative




Chance by Chanel is my all time favourite perfume, but at £60 a pop I use it sparingly and it doesn't get much love!

When I was having a little browse in Zara I came across this beauty
Zara Collection




I am not exaggerating at all, it smells exactly the same and lasts a really long time! And it is only around £13!

It's such a distinctive scent and it is perfect for nightime, I definitely recommend this!
I carry this around with me at all times and smell of Chanel as often as I please!

Hope this helps anyone who loves the scent of Chance!

Does anyone else know of any amazing dupes they'd like to share?
