MORE Sleek Palettes!




Yes, that's right, I caved and bought the other 2 palettes from the permanent collection...so here we have Chaos (pictured on the left) and Storm (on the right), I haven't used them yet, but as I haven't been disappointed with the other 2, I doubt these will disappoint!!

Things I'm loving on ASOS.com

It's no secret that I love ASOS.com, I buy alot of my clothes from them and I love how great there customer services are!

So when I was browsing today I thought I would show you 3 of my favourite items, one of which I own, 1 my sister owns, and the last I hope to get soon!


This top is fab! I actually own 3 of them yes THREE! One in white, one navy, and 1 red! These got with pretty much everything and are lightweight, perfect for the summer! Prices vary depending on colour, however most are priced at £8.

The shoes are Cheryl Cole inspired and cost £44.50, my sister recently bought these in pink (pictured), but they are also available in black leather. I tried my sisters on and they are fairly high, but she finds them really comfortable, and loves wearing them!!




Now, this clutch bag is an item i'm hoping to get eventually, i'm still undecided as to whether or not I would get enough use from it to justify buying it!! It costs £15, so not expensive but I don't tend to take bags out with me when I go out at clubbing etc! Also as you can see its quite a large clutch bag, so even if I did take it out it would probably end up annoying me!!!

Make sure you check out ASOS they not only sell women's clothing they also sell Kids/Mens/Maternity/Cosmetics and loads more! and even better they won't cost you loads!!!

Hope everyone is having a fab weekend! MakeupBecci xxx

Sleek Palettes


So here are the pictures of the 2 Sleek Palettes I picked up the other day in Superdrug. The first one is the Original Palette and the 2nd is a limited edition Safari Palette. Both retail from £4.87 and I recommend picking these up if you are looking for something cheap and cheerful, but with good pigment!

I did a video talking about these palettes and I mentioned how suprised I was at how good the colours are. The more looks i'm doing with them, the happier I am I got them! I did swatches of the Original palette, but it was a bit of a mishap and there was no order to the colours, so I may or may not do it again!!

New look = latest video

So I just did a new look, using the original Sleek palette, make sure you check out my latest video for a tutorial on the look!



Today was a fairly dull day for me, I woke myself up having had the weirdest dream about a snake and a hoover...its a long and very weird story!!! However, I did FINALLY get round to hoovering my room, it really needed doing!


This weekend is the first weekend in about 2 months I haven't had anything planned/gone somewhere, so if i'm honest i'm dreading it! Since coming back to London on Monday I have been feeling very homesick and lonely! I didn't go home, but I went round England with my family seeing grandparents etc. So now i'm on a huge come down from that!


Tomorrow I really want to get down to a book store and buy Katie Price's new book Sapphire - I really love her books, very quick and easy summer read, and with all the train journeys I will be making this summer, I will have it done in no time!


I still have some of my ASOS birthday voucher to spend, i'm struggling to decide if I should save it for something amazing or just grab some stuff in the clearance!

Anyways I have rambled on again for a long while and so i'm going to either play on Sims 3 or talk to my parents on MSN...I put money on me ending up on Sims 3!

Thursday 23 July 2009

OK, so I have to admit, I'm not great on the whole blogging thing. However I thought I might give it a whirl!! I'm probably not going to be very good at keeping this updated, but it might be a good place for me to connect up to my YouTube channel!!

Right now I'm watching True Blood, i'm on the fourth episode of the first season, it's one of those shows that alot of people have been raving about and i'm willing to try them to see what all the hype is about! So far i'm not sure if I'm watching it to try and make my mind up about it, or if i'm watching it because I actually like it! I will probably watch the first season and then make up my mind!!!

So onto makeup as thats my area of knowledge (!!) Today I bought 2 Sleek eyeshadow palettes, the Original one and the Safari one, the Safari one is a limited edition, but i'm loving the colours! I made a video about them, I also ramble on about my new Barry M lipstick (colour 101) and the new Rimmel Max Volume Flash mascara!!

I'm still new to the whole YT thing, been making videos for nearly 3 months now, i'm getting more confident about being in front of the camera etc and hopefully it shows!!!

Lets see how these blogs go, it might be once a day or once a week, even once a month, I will mostly write about fashion & beauty, but I will occasionally blog about life in general!

Thanks for reading...if you got this far down, bear with me... I will get better at this!!!
