eBay Wants.

Hello everyone!

I'm sure if you've read my blog before you would probably know that I LOVE eBay! When I can't sleep or when I'm bored one of the things I do is add things to my ever growing wish list, so today I thought I would share some of the jewellery I have been eyeing up!

eBay is a great way to find unique and cheap jewellery and is the only place I ever buy it from -well apart from Primark.





These 6 items have been on my wishlist for a week or so, and I just think they are adorable! They all also come with free shipping which is great.

What have you been wanting from eBay?

My Surgery Updated

*Warning pictures of toes and wounds are shown in this post*

Hey guys,

So since I got quite good feedback from my other post about my surgery, I decided to do an update post.

It's almost been a week since I had part of my toe nails removed, and they are healing so well. I got them done last Thursday, and now on the Wednesday I'm allowed to take my bandages off! The wounds feels like they are knitting together nicely, and I hardly have any pain.

The sticky material is on there to help bind my skin and help the healing process. 

The only pain I am getting is when I try to wear socks when the rest of my feet are cold or when my duvet is on my feet. The pressure is far to painful as it squeezed my wounds. 


However I haven't tried wearing normal shoes, and have been advised to wear flip flops for another 5 weeks to make sure there is no chance of my nails been infected or squashed. 


This is what my toes look like now. They are still swollen, and awkward to walk on, but I have no pain like I did before the operation. I am really pleased and can't wait until they are back to normal!

If anyone has any questions, please ask :)

Depotting Eyeshadows!


 Hello lovelies,

In my last post I told you I had got a palette to put all my MUA shadows in, well I bought 4 more to add in as my other ones were looking a bit grubby. So here’s how you do it;

You'll Need:

Eyeshadows
Hair Straighteners
Tin Foil
A knife
Tissue



How to do it:



Step 1: Get your straighteners and put them on full heat, then lay the tin foil on to the bottom plate.

Step 2: Then place the eyeshadow on top of the foil, like shown below, and make sure you leave the lid away from the heat. A lot of people use candles to melt the glue but I decided to use my straightener as it doesn't smell as strong of melting plastic. 



Step 3: Leave the eyeshadow for roughly 2 minutes, but keep checking on it to make sure the plastic isn't melting.



Step 4: After a few minutes the glue would have melted so you can slip a knife under the pan and slowly lift the eyeshadow up. Be very careful when you take the pan out of the plastic container as it will be very hot and you really don’t want to burn your fingers. 





And that’s pretty much it, all you need to do now is pop it into your palette. 


So here's the four eyeshadows I depotted:


I hope you enjoyed my post, if you have any questions let me know!

MAC Rebel Lipstick


 Hey guys,


This lipstick is my most recent purchase from MAC. I originally talked myself out of getting it because I really didn't need another lipstick, but I've had a really shit week and I was feeling down so I thought "Why the hell not?" and picked it up.

I was actually eyeing Cyber and Media, but Cyber wasn't the exact colour I wanted although it was very pretty and Media just felt too brown and flat, it looked horrible on me. Rebel is a really complex shade, in the bullet it look like a ribena colour but with one swipe gives off a sexy berry stain.




Rebel is a satin finish, and as with all MAC satin lipsticks this wears well and still feels nice and smooth to put on. The lipstick is full coverage with a tiny bit of sheen, but no shimmer or sparkle. I really love the finish of Rebel.

I found this lipstick is really long wearing, lasting up to 4/5 with out a touch up! It also leaves a pretty stain on the lips which I find helps reduce the look of patchy lips when the lipstick does wear off.

This is just one light swipe of the lipstick

Personally I find it very pretty on me as it really brings the blue out in my eyes, but also very flattering on my mam who is tan, with a warm golden bronze skin colour. I could see this being a shade that any skintone can wear, it has enough purple to be edgy but enough red to remain flattering.


My Lips

My mams lips - The colour had been on 3 hours when this was took.


The shade is very obvious and in your face, so only try this if that's the kinda thing you're looking for. I would highly recommend and will definitely repurchase. 

My next purchase from MAC will probably be Chatter Box or Cyber!


What's your favourite MAC lipstick?

eBay Pallette

Hey guys,

I don't know about you but I have a a few single eye shadows floating around in my collection, and never go to use them as I always just use palettes for quickness. So when I was searching eBay I found this palette, and quickly bought it.



Each slot holds a pan of 36cm size, 4mm height perfect for the MUA eye shadows! The palette is strong and sturdy and Im so glad I bought it! It was only only £2.53 with free shipping too :D

The seller I bought from was sinedy and the item is; 10 PCS 36mm Empty Eyeshadow Aluminum Pans with Palette

The original pans just pop out of the palette 

So yep! My next post will be how I depotted my eye shadows and how I put them into the pallete.

My Surgery.

Hey guys,

So if you follow me on twitter you will know I had surgery on my big toes. I have a problem with my nails that they are too big for my toes and they dig in and become swollen and sore, so last Thursday I got surgery to remove part of my nail on both of my toes.

The surgery its self was so painful, I mean I got a local aesthetic and bloody hurt so much! I had two big injections on both of my toes, which stung like a bitch, then the fluid felt like it was burning my toes from the inside - I really never want to experience that again! Then after all of that I could still feel things on my left toe! Tbh I was almost in tears, it was awful. Really awful.

Basically this happens;


 But I had this operation on both sides on my toes, on both big toes. So currently they look like this;


My poor toes!

 24 hours later they are swollen, sore and tender, making it really hard to walk. I have to walk like a penguin on the heels of my feet making me really unbalanced and comic like.

Ugh - the worst part? 
I will be like this for 6 to 8 weeks! Only being able to wear flip flops, even in the rain D:

So yep I thought I would update you guys since my posts have been a little all over the place!

But leave me a comment,
