Urgh, I have been craving an iPhone so bad recently. My friend got one a while ago, and since she got it I can't stop using it! Ha ha! It makes my Nokia N8 look like a pile of poop. I'm gutted though, because I only got it 6 months ago, and I'm on a 24 month contract *cries*. As soon as I can get an upgrade, I will be on to my dad pronto lol!

 This week, I have been craving two kits from Sleek. First up is the brow kit. I have read about this everywhere, and everyone that has used it has said positive things about it. I've never used an actual kit for your brows before, I've only ever pencilled mine in as I don't have a matte brown eyeshadow to fill them in. As you probably know I love a good strong brow, so I can't wait to get this!

The other kit I'm looking at getting is their contour kit. From what I've read, their highlight isn't the best, but I just really want to try contouring my face with this powder instead of the bronzer or blush that I normally use to see if there's any notible difference. I'll post pictures to see.

Hello my lovely readers! Today I would like to rave to you about my soon to be future watch. I was on my break at work the other day when I walked past a jewellery shop. I've been looking for a watch for ages, and nothing has really stood out to me, until I saw this beauty.

It is a Michael Kors watch, with a clear bracelet style plastic strap and mother of pearl face inlaid with crystals. Did I also mention that it is absolutely huge?! Not for me are those delicate wispy little watches, I like mine big and manly with a hint of femininity. And this just ticks all the boxes. My plan is to pay for it using money out of my first paycheck, so that I have something solid and long lasting that will remind me of it. Ohh, I cannot wait to open it up.

Hey guys! Last Friday I went to the Trafford Center in Manchester after craving to go there for weeks and weeks. Whilst there, I did manage to restrain myself (so. hard.) but I also got to pick out a few Christmas presents. When we were wandering around Selfridges, I went over to the MAC counter to look at the new collection and see what it was like in person. There were three things that caught my eye, their paint pot in Morning Frost, the nail lacquer in Unconditionally Fabulous and their snow globe eyeshadow palette in Sultry.

Morning Frost is a beautiful silvery taupe that looks so etheral on the eyes, its gorgeous. It would look nice during the day and at night, so I think I would get a lot of wear out of it, making it worth buying. Unconditionally Fabulous appeals to the magpie inside of me, as its just a bottle of shimmery, shiny glitter that just screams Christmas. Not actually sure whether or not I'll buy this though, because there are other nail varnishes from China Glaze and OPI that I'm also eyeing up. Lastly, there is the Sultry palette, which again really reminds me of Christmas, probably because of the pretty cranberry tones that lie alongside that gorgeous bronzy gold. These were so nice when I saw them in person, and yes they're probably easily dupe-able but I just want it! The eyeshadows all have a shimmer in them apart from Shadowy Lady which is matte.

~Sorry this is a bit late!~

So, the thing that I have been most lusting after this week is an iPad. Sat in my boring lectures, people that have them whip them out and are browsing facebook right in front of my decidedly jealous eyes (I'm such a good student). Not to mention the apps that help you learn hiragana and katana really easily (I had a go on one of my friends iPads in my tutorial). In fact, don't get me started on the apps! There's so many that I want! Hmm... might have to drop some hints for Christmas ;)

Over the past couple of days, I've noticed that my camera's been taking pictures more slowly, crashes frequently and is all together playing up, which means its coming to the end of its life. Also, the pictures that it has been producing are not very good quality, and I would like to apologise for this. Because of this, I've been looking for a replacement, and I think I've found one in the form of the Nikon S6100 Coolpix digital camera.

Its got good reviews and great features, plus it captures 16 megapixel images, which is a bump up from my old camera (who has a measly 14.1 MP). The quality that cinched the deal though was the fact that it is half price at Tesco at the moment - £99.97 instead of £199.97. Me likey, espcially as I am a poor student!

Whenever I go out shopping, I always discover something that I really want, so I thought I'd just share them with you ^_^. This week, I have really been lusting after a BB cream. I was first introduced to BB creams through Bubz Beauty, who does a brillant video reviewing quite a few of the Asian branded ones. I love the thought of having one product that will sort out everything (probably because I'm lazy and get frustrated in the morning trying to find all my different pots of lotions lol). Ganier have just brought out a BB cream too, and I think I'll buy that as soon as I can so I can get an idea of what effects they have.
The products description is

"Feel the sensation of the light texture that instantly melts into your skin

The formula with mineral pigments gives an instantly ‘perfect’ skin. The result? Sheer coverage; imperfections look blurred, lines softened. Your skin looks luminous, smoother and more even. See the B.B. difference

24hr hydration. Skin feels more supple, smoother, softer. Feel the B.B. difference

UV protection: SPF15 to help protect the skin.

Go B.B! In just one step, even, cover, hydrate, illuminate and help protect your skin."

When I get it, I'll make sure to post pictures of my skin before and after a month using it.If you've never heard of a BB cream before, I urge you to check them out!!

Hmm, thinking of making this a weekly occurance - what do you think? Please comment!!
