Cake Date #1
Hey Guys and Dolls,
This is just a little review of a cake shop that has recently opened at Fort Kinnaird.
The shop in question is Patisserie Valerie. I think this one has only been open a short while and there is another one in Edinburgh at a more central location on North Bridge.
This one was very lovely and clean. The staff were also very friendly and child friendly, which is always a plus point. I do normally have lunches and cake stops with my 5 year old nephew. Today was no different for my cake and friend date, Johnathan was with us.
We sat down and looked through the menu, they had everything you'd need for a 3 course meal, to a very nice cream tea and cakes. We settled for a cream tea (which came with 2 scones and condiments and a pot of earl grey tea), Johnathan had some lemon iced tea and a chocolate mouse cake, Jade had some peach iced tea and a double chocolate gateau, the best part was that it only cost £19, which is not too bad.
It is definitely worth going too, you like something sweet. Everyone enjoyed it, including the little one.
Bye <3

Barry M Silk Nail Paints
Hey Guys and Dolls,
Since I have not heard much about these new released nail polishes from Barry M. I thought I might as well do a quick post on them.
I bought mine from my local Tesco store but these will be released in Boots and Superdrug too. It cost me £3.99 and I got the shade Meadow, which is nice pastel green colour.
This is what Barry M says about this collection on nail paint.
'Silk's beautiful matte sheen gives nails a luxurious chic finish. In a collection of pretty pastel shades inspired by nature, its the perfect polish for a fresh take on spring.'
In the collection there is 6 pastel shades, from green, blue, pink and purple to 2 nudes. As Barry M says, these will be perfect for the up and coming spring and summer seasons.
The Colour I have is Meadows and its a pretty pastel green, with a pearl sheen to it. It is not my usual nail colour, as I am all over the dark and matte shades just now, but I think I might get a lot of wear out of it when the right season comes.
I will post a swatch picture of it once, I get it on my nails.
Bye guys.

Saturday Night: Face Of The Night #1
Hey My Lovelies.
This is just a super quick post on the make up I wore out on the 8th February.
This is how I had my make up on Saturday night.
I had a soft smokey purple eye, I used my Mac shadows in Sable and Sketch and lined my eyes with Be a Bombshell felt tip liner and on my bottle waterline, I used my Soap and Glory purple eyeliner that I got in a christmas set. I then used plenty Smokey mascara by Maybelline.
For my eyebrows I used my Accessorise Eyebrow kit.
On my face I used the Urban Decay foundation in 3.5, after I had moisturised and primed my skin by using the Vanishing Cream by Fashionista. I used a blush by The Balm and contoured using Soap and Glory. I concealed my blemishes and undereye bags with the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer.
On my lips I used OCC lip tar in Anime.
Hope you like these kind of post.
Bye guys.

Primark Beauty Bits Blog Haul.
Hey there guys and dolls,
I'm just in from a recent trip into Edinburgh City centre, I only really went into town to kill a day in the half term. As I have my 5 year old nephew, I thought, we would head into town to kill some time.
I ended up spoiling him, with food and I also got him a game for the playstation. I also went into Primark to browse, as you do.
I came across the beauty bit in Primark and thought I would pick a few things up and share what I got with you guys.
I firstly picked up some of the new make up wipes, I picked up the P.S range Oil balancing facial cleansing wipes, which were pack of 2 for £1. Also so from the new P.S range I picked up a eyebrow pencil in Light for £1 and a bright pink lipstick, also £1.
At the till I somehow decided I needed a 300 pack of no snag elastics, which were a £1. I also picked up a 4in 1 foot file ( it has 2 pumice stones, a foot file and a skin grate.) this was also only £1. Then last but no means least I pick up a little lip balm thing for my nephew as he has dry chapped lips. It is a Chupa Chups lip balm in apple flavour, which cost £1.50.
Hope you like my little haul, I should hopefully have some reviews up soon.
Bye lovelies :)

Lipstick Junkie
Hey Guys and Dolls,
Recently I have became an absolute lipstick junkie. Every little shopping/browsing trip has had me buying a new lipstick.
I have bought every sort of lipstick from a £15 one to ones that cost as little as £1. I have gone super crazy with them.
Firstly I have bought a Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in the colour catfight. This was bought purely for the name, as I am a proper cat lady in the making. But when I saw the colour I fell in love with it. Its a beautiful deep pink colour. I bought mine from Jenners in Edinburgh, you can buy it here.
Next up I bought a matte lipstick from MUA. These little babies cost a mere £1, you cant get a lot for that nowadays. I love the normal formula of the £1 lipsticks, but these ones just don't deliver as much of a punch as the normal ones. I was quite disappointed in it. I got the wild berry shade, which looked like it would be a gorgeous dark reddy purple colour. It wasn't anything near as dark as that. The lipstick was very drying and patchy on the lips.
The other £1 lipstick I have is a little pink number, I got whilst out in town with my Mammy Bear. I got it whilst in a shop called Tiger. Not sure if they are anywhere else in the UK. But its just a little bright pink lippy that looks great.
Then I went out and bought a little hello kitty lipstick, mainly for the packaging. But the colour was absolutely gorgeous. Its a dark red colour. I'm not sure where these are available to buy online, but you can pick them in Primark and some B'N'S stores they cost £1.99.
I then went a little bit crazy whilst looking at the Collection stands in superdrug. I got 2 of the Little Mix lipsticks, I got the Perrie (a dark purple mauve colour) and Jade ( a pinky nude colour), they are gorgeous, great pigmentation and they are so creamy. They cost £2.99 each from superdrug.
The last 2 lipsticks I have gotten recently are more Collection lipsticks but a different line of lipsticks they have out. These ones are from their Deluxe range. I got the colours Talullah (a light pink colour) and Prohibition ( a dark pink/red shade), these cost £3.99 normally but boots have them on offer, just now for £2.99.
The last lipstick I want to speak about in a lip tar by OCC. I got it whilst buying some other things in a blog sale. I got the colour Anime, which a gorgeous hot pink. I got it off of a make up artist who is moving to Singapore soon, so was selling her work make up. There is no link for this but here is a selection of OCC make up in Selfridges.
What are your favourite lipsticks?
Bye Guys

Concrete Minerals Eyeshadows
Hey Guys and Dolls,
I got some beautiful eye shadows for Christmas from my friend Lauren. This is just a quick review on them.
I got 4 colours of the shadows.
The Low Down
Concrete Minerals are preservative free, they don't use parabens and fillers. They are 100% vegan and cruelty free and made in USA.
They are sold on cutecosmetics in the UK and cost £6 for 1.5gms.
They have two ranges out, ones that are matte and shimmer ones. I have 4 colours from the shimmer range. I have Smut, X's and O's, Vanity and Doe Eyed.
 |
| lt-rght Smut, Doe eye, Vanity, X's&O's |
My favourite of the bunch is X's and O's as it's so different from what I'm used to wearing. Although for every night out I have had since Christmas I have worn it.
 |
| The Colours swatched on my hands. |
Would I buy it again?
Yes I would happily buy more of these beauties. They work beautifully and last a long time with and without a primer being used.
I do want the stack of black toned one that they have also on cutecosmetics. I will I have post some eye looks on my instagram using these eyeshadows. Check them out on Cheekie_maz on instagram.
C'ya
