Maybelline Color Show in Clear Shine Review

Hello everyone!

As I am a big fan of nail polish and doing my nails, I thought why not start reviewing the nail products I use.

So today I am going to share with you my thoughts and opinions on the Maybelline Color Show in Clear Shine 649.

H&M and Next haul

Hello everyone!

I have been doing a bit of shopping recently, so I thought I'd share with you what I got.

Firstly, I got some bits from H&M, as I had a lovely 25% off voucher.
H&M is one of my favourite stores, and although I don't like all their lines nor buy everything I need from there, they always have something I like. 

Garnier Ultimate Blends The Sleek Restorer Review

Hello everyone!

I had mentioned this shampoo and conditioner in my drugstore haul, and since it's been a month from when I started using them, I am ready to do a review.

Black and White Outfit Wishlist

Hello everyone!

I hope you're all enjoying the wonderful weather we are having, well at least in Kent it's been very sunny and warm! I have been spending most of the time at work though :(

I really fancy doing some shopping but I haven't got the time at the moment, so I decided to put together an outfit wish list, this week on the black and white theme. I decided to go casual but with a personality.

I really like this sweatshirt, and I think the necklace would work great creating a cool pattern in contrasting black and white. It looks like they might not match in style but I really think they would make an interesting graphic.

The converse are tie dye and I think they are really cool! Never seen them like that before. 

I would wear this outfit on a day out shopping or at the park, visiting a museum etc. It's a very easy outfit, but at the same time not granted and anonymous. 

Did you buy anything this week? Do you like black and white outfits?

DIY Crystal Pendant Necklace

Hello everyone!

As you probably have all noticed, crystal pendant necklaces are a big trend at the moment, and I too have been caught by their unusual beauty. 

These necklaces can be bought everywhere, but why not pick your favourite crystal and make your very own piece!

I was browsing eBay for crystals when I came across this beautiful Agate Geode Slice pre-mounted on a silver pendant. The bid was ending in about 30 seconds and it had been bid on only once! So I thought "it must be mine" heheheh. I placed my bid and after a couple of days I received the stone for the tiny price of about £3 including delivery.

It is a gorgeous stone, it has white, very dark blue, very light blue, and a delicate hint of purple and pink in it. Held against the light it becomes even more stunning with the light coming through!

After standing in front of a mirror to decide how long I wanted my necklace to be, I gathered all my tools on my teacups DIY tray: a meter, long nose pliers, cutting pliers, chain, lobster clasp, and three different sizes of jump rings (all silver plated).

I measured my chain at 27 inches, and proceeded to cut a link. 

Then I opened my jump rings and added one on each end of the chain of the smallest ones, followed by one on each side of the medium ones, and only on one side the large one, while on the opposite side I added the lobster clasp. 

Finally I slid the pendant through et voila! I have a beautiful new necklace.

The necklace is long enough to make my head go through without opening the chain, but I thought the finished necklace would look a lot more professional with the jump rings and the clasp! Obviously you could just add one small jump ring to connect the two ends together instead.

Isn't this stone stunning!

Let me know what you think, do you like these kind of necklaces?
