FINK

Shake, shake,
Quiver, quiver
I'm awoken by a cold shiver
Wind blows change, change
Sweet rushing through my veins
No, I just might die
Overtaken by the high tide
Feel the rain against my skin
Drown my soul in the water again

Move on me
Move on me
Move on me

Shake, shake,
Should have learned
Get that close and you might get burned
Sweet heat and the sweet lies
So betrayed by the look in your eyes
That look I know so well
It's a heaven with a taste of hell
On your lips and down within
Drown my soul, baby let it begin

Move on me
Move on me
Move on me

Give me two hands I can hold
I'll tell you things I've never told
Move on me
If you move on me, yeah

Baby, timing's everything
Now's the time to let you in
Move on me
If you move on me, yeah
If you move on me
If you move on me
If you move on me
If you move

Move on me

Estée Lauder Signature Hydra Lustre Lipstick & Purifying Mud Foam Cleanser

Signature Hydra Lustre Lipstick - 01 Pink Sand

  

"Colour so creamy, it seduces every curve of your lips."

 Estée Lauder also claim that: "You know this is an extraordinary lipstick from the moment it touches your lips.

• Full-coverage colour has true character and depth.
• Finish is lustrous for a smooth, sophisticated shine.
• Rich, hydrating formula feels light and comfortable.
• Hours of moisture. Hours of wear."

My new favourite lipstick - I love the creamy texture, the classy packaging and the soft sophisticated colour. However, the downsides to this are its smell/taste on the lips, and the fact it actually isn't that long-lasting... I found after a couple of drinks I already needed to re-apply. 

As much as I love this lipstick, I'm not sure I'd re-purchase to be honest, as the price is quite steep and I'm sure there are cheaper nude/pink alternatives out there, albeit less creamy and moisturising.

As there was a Gift Time promotion offer on in Boots (buy 2 products to recieve sample-sized products & a travel/makeup bag), I also bought the 
'Sparkling Clean Purifying Mud Foam Cleanser' (£19).

"The right Estée Lauder cleanser sweeps away impurities in a burst of refreshment.

It works gently, without stripping essential lipids away from your skin.

Skin is left feeling cushioned, primed, ready to maximize the benefits of the formulas that follow."

This smells gorgeous and leaves the face feeling really refreshed. I also love that it doesn't leave the skin feeling too dry/stripped  - and I can already tell this product is gonna last for AGES! You only need a small amount to massage into the face and the tube is fairly large. Pricey (what the heck...I love Estée Lauder), but worth it for this cleanser.

I love this show - even when I was reeally ill, this programme didn't fail to make me laugh.. Sean Lock especially!

I thought I'd be fixed by now

I hope there's a golden age,
I pray for my sanity,
Where we don't have to answer to anyone about anything
This is not like the brochure,
Flying cars and sex machines
We're all so compliant
Cause everything is what it seems
And they can't build a satellite to tell you how loved you are,
Or some kind of life device that holds you in you've gone too far
And I don't feel myself again
I thought I'd be fixed by now
Walking through the horizon
I find myself back here somehow
Give me something to die for
Or design a quiet mind
Something to like mankind for
Cause we don't lie my heart and I.
You've been bending so long now,
You think its standing up
And they line up behind you
To build you up, buttercup
We can lose all meaning
Quicker than a credit card
And not everyone's healing
So try your best and don't look too hard
Cause they can't build a satellite
To tell you what's in your heart
Or some kind of life device to hold you in
You've gone too far

My heart and I
My heart and I
I've been feeling so lonely
Feeling so low
So low I almost let go

Estée Lauder 'Arctic Night' Eyeshadow Quad

Estée Lauder 'Arctic Night' Eyeshadow Quad

I recieved this eyeshadow quad in a 'Gift Time' freebie offer. I usually stick to neutral shades but decided to give these colours a go for a night out. I'm happy with the results but I find Estée Lauder's eye-shadows have quite low pigmentation - I needed to reapply quite a fair few times & even then you can see in the photos the colour isn't that bold.

I started off using the lightest shade as a base, then built up the colours with the darkest shades being in the outer corners of the lid.

I used black eye-shadow for underneath the eyes & also dabbed a little onto the outer corners of the eye-lid for a bit more intensity. I finished off with a flick of liquid eyeliner & lots of mascara.

I don't care if she's had surgery...oh to look like this! I don't think I'd ever complain haha.

Another closet-clearout! Tips

Reading through my issue of Marie Claire today I came across the suggestion of the website unclutterer.com, a site dedicated to uncluttering all areas of your home/workspace. Because it's pretty much in the form of a blog, it may be hard to navigate for some, as you need to scroll down each blog to view any ideas corresponding to the area you're looking to un-clutter, rather than a clear navigation bar at the top of the screen like most websites.

So anyway, I seem to always be "doing a clear-out" but I'm obviously not ruth-less enough as my slide-across wardrobe doors still can't shut properly for things trying to fall out!

Here's a few tips I've picked from the site for anyone who, like me, finds it hard to part with an item of clothing in case you 'need it one day'.

CHECKLIST:

1. The item should represent your current style and the image you wish to project to others.
2. The item should fit you well and complement your body type.
3. The item should work in coordination with a minimum of two other items in your wardrobe.
4. You should be able to wear the item with shoes you already own (for shoes, you should be able to wear them with clothing you already own).
5. The item should be in good condition and should not need to be repaired.
6. There should be space for the item to be properly stored.
7. You should like how you feel when you wear the item (for shoes, they should not cause blisters).
8. You should have an occasion in the next year to wear it.
