Clothes Show Live 2012

It's that time of year again...

This is the shopping event of the year, with over 500 shops to explore the NEC literally is converted into a woman's shopping heaven for 5 days of the year. 

If you have never been to the CSL before I would highly recommend it to you. Money goes a long way and you'll be able to pick up some amazing one off and vintage pieces you wont find on the high street. 

As I live in Plymouth we had to set off for Birmingham at 5am, It is a long day, but the bargains make it so worth while.The journey was not plain sailing and after suffering a blow out on the motorway we were stuck on the hard shoulder for 2 hours waiting for the RAC. In true me style I found this the perfect oppertunity to crack out some motorway make overs, and we all looked glam when the recovery man arrived to save us. Thank you for your lovely comments on my facebook page saying how I looked nice even during a break down ha ha!

 Luckily we were all ok following the blow out, It was the waiting around that was boring....perfect photo oppertunity time....

Hard Shoulder coffee time!

Jason, our high vis hero!

We eventually arrived at the NEC at 10.30am, so we were an hour and a half late, our spirits werent dampened and we got on with the shopping! 

 For those of you who havent been to CSL, the shopping zones are split up into different colours to make your shopping experience easier... 

I always start in the Pink Zone, whic is hair and beauty of course! 

After just 10 mins shopping I already had my first few bags...

Every year there are loads of celebs to meet and greet, they vary from day to day, some of the celebs on the opening day...

I received* the Sapphire Blue and the Emerald Green, these lenses are from the Blendz range, which are 3 colours blended together to give the strongest, most natural looking colour change.Only available in 3 month disposable.These are priced at just £19.99 per pair for the 3 month lenses, or for the 12 month ones are £24.99.

When you buy a set of these lenses you get a bottle of cleaning solution, a protective case to store your lenses in, and the lenses themselves...

I have tested out my Sapphire Blue ones in these pictures, I think you'll agree the effect is amazing! I had a lot of comments on my eye colour when wearing these contacts.

The application is really simple and easy, and I have never put contacts in my eyes before, they are super thin and soft so you don't even feel like you are wearing them!

I wore my blue pair all day at work and they didn't dry my eyes out, even staring at a computer screen for hours.

Kiss Haute Couture Eyelashes

Regular readers will know I LOVE falsies, I actually feel naked on a night ot without them. 

When I was asked to review these new lashes by Kiss* I was so excited, brand new to hit Boots stores everywhere are these amazing Haute Coture Lashes, there are 3 styles in the range, Kiss, Lust & Wink. 

I have reviewed Lust, and I was not disapointed... 

Perosnally these lashes, in my opinion are to heavy for daytime wear, they are thick and full and give a very dramatic effect to your eyes. Kiss lashes are always really black, eliminating the need for mascara, except on your bottom lashes of course. 

If you are inexperienced in applying falsies these even come complete with a handy applicator, which will long outlive the lashes so keep it handy as I am sure you'll find it very useful! 

The packaging is really eye catching & very appealing to the beauty savvy girlies out there. 

 One thing I realy like about these lashes is the glue that comes with them, its really hard to capture it on camera but the glue itself is a pearlescent type of fluid, and this glue is fantastic! It dries really quickly and holds so well. I hate the glue that comes with some lashes and its really wet and takes ages to go tacky, again if you have found lashes hard to apply in the past you should invest in a pair of these as the glue makes it really easy. 

Despite the fact that they are dramatic lashes they give a very natural look, I have shot the lashes at different angles so you can see the effects. 

These lashes are on sale in Boots now & currently they are on buy one get one half price, at £5.49 per pair. 

What do you think of these Kiss lashes? Will you be investing in a pair?

Garnier Body Ultimate Beauty Oil

As an avid moisturiser, I was so happy to see this hit the shelves in my local Boots recently. And it's currently on 3 for 2, so if you haven't tried it yet go grab some!

This is the first beauty oil for the body, and Garnier know they are onto a good thing by bringing us this little gem.

You'll have no doubt seen the influx of hair oils on the market, and this is a luxurious body treat using the same idea.

The body oil smells delicious, enriched with Enriched with 4 precious oils - Argan, Macadamia, Almond & Rose, and it's 5 times more concentrated than any regular moisturiser.

You would expect the oil to leave you feeling greasy, but this miraculous oil glides on and melts into your body, It gives you a lovely dewy glow, and your skin looks super polished.

Give it a go if you haven't tried it already, priced at £7.99 and considering you only need 6-10 sprays per application a little goes a long way!
