Finished P10P and sharing some love

After 44 days i am happy to announce that i have finished my Project 10 (makeup) Pan!!! Hurrayyy!! I cannot believe its been nearly two months of not buying any makeup for myself and staying true to my word. It feels liberating to finish ten products which i have enjoyed using immensely and are some of my very favourite products. It was like i was bursting to buy some new makeup so I've already put in a small order to E.L.F to try new coloured primers. Post to come soon!

Now on to the last two products:

Benefit Speed Brow

L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black X5 Mascara - 8mls £8.49

my worn out tube - with the extra volume brush

I've had this mascara for so long now, I'm glad I've finally finished it. I bought it and it was one of my favourite mascaras, then bought the MAC Haute & Naughty and in the drawer it went. I had forgotten how much i  really loved this mascara and will buy it again in my next shopping trip. Voluminous mascara lifts and lengthens my lashes but doesn't give the clumpy affect, like most mascaras I've tried does (even MAC does sometimes eeep!) 

You can buy Voluminous Mascara from the Boots website HERE (sorry i could only find x3 and not x5 though)

I took these pictures - 15 hours after applying around 3 coats of mascara, even my eyeshadow with primer didn't stay put for that amount of time!

I was going to put this in a separate post but thought i would share this in one post. Since i haven't been buying makeup I've been into buying clothes and jewellery to jazz up my wardrobe (as mentioned in my previous jewels post) i have really grown to admire jewellery with writing or quotes on them. In particular i  adore items of jewellery with "love" written on them. My grandma died and i got her handwriting from a letter saying "love" on the side of my stomach. I cherish it so much and these pieces of "love" jewellery also remind me of her.

I'm also getting into jewellery with crosses in them. I'm going to have to purchase a nice ring and necklace soon. What certain kinds of jewellery do you guys love and always end up buying? Please leave your comments i'd love to know :)

love, love, love, love, love!!
L-R: my tattoo, gold bracelet (set of four) from Love Hearts and Crosses, black chunky bracelet from Accessorize, silver ring from LH and Crosses (set of four), black and gold bracelet from River Island

Lesley on pretty jewels

From Love Hearts and Crosses, was £24 but they've upped the price to £25, however they are well worth the money. They say:

"Sing...... as though no one else can hear you."

"Dance...... as though no one is watching you"

"Love...... as though you have never been hurt before"

"Live...... as though heaven is on earth"

I think these messages are really quite powerful, especially the "love" and "live" quotes: they are how i wish to live my life. I love the intricate ingraining on both the outside and inside of the bracelets, they add elegance without being too much and is not very noticeable unless you are close up. You can wear each bracelet individually, some on each hand or all four. It is also available in silver which i'd like to purchase too. It was delivered with nice pink package and was a quick delivery. P&P is £1.95 with each order.

From Love Hearts and Crosses, was £6 but they've upped the price to an astonishing £12. They say "sing, love, dance and live." They are also available in gold but are only available in one size. My finger size is mostly a medium in Topshop or Miss Selfridge and i can only fit three on my ring finger. I like to wear two on each hand or a couple on their own. 

I bought this cute, dainty friendship bracelet in River Island for £6.00. It is made up of plaited black cord with gold chains and "love" engraved on a gold plate. I like the little gold charm with "RR" representing River Island and a diamante charm near the clasp (not pictured.) Black and gold worn together are one of my two favourite colours to wear as they compliment each other beautifully.

I don't normally go for a pack of different earrings because i never like one or two in the variety, but i saw these in River Island for £10 and for 9 pairs is a bargain. Most of them have cute little details, such as little  diamantes in the camera and lipstick. My favourites are the lipstick, camera and cupcakes. I also like the little diamante and pearl which i can use in my second piercing which i don't hardly wear due to the fact i haven't got any little studs to put in there.

Lesley on jewellery wishlist

Good evening bloggers! I hope you've had a fantastic weekend. Yesterday, Sophia and i took our grandfather to London for his 70th birthday. We went to the Imperial War museum, Lord Mayors show, London Eye and to finish off a great evening fireworks. Here are a couple pictures from the London Eye:

Unfortunately I'm a bit ill today with a dry cough, so I've been having a duvet day and wishing for a lot of stuff!

All earrings from Aldo: 1) Peaches £7.00,  2) Mosena £10.00,  3) Diluca £7.00,  4) Love hearts and crosses - Little Deer ring £25.00, 5) Odea £14.00,  6) Miss Selfridge - leaf metal stretch £10.00

I'm loving earrings at the moment and i already have Diluca in purple studs which I've received compliments on. Aldo have a fantastic range of jewellery which I've never noticed before really, I've put all the links above so if you click on the names it will take you directly to the website.

I love the little deer ring as well i think its so cute and will make a statement to outfits. Sophia and I are loving cute (and sometimes strange) rings with animals on them and i have a feeling our collection will grow soon. Love hearts and crosses is a cute online shop which a lot of bloggers have raved about. I feel a christmas/indulgent spree coming soon!

The leaf bracelet from Miss Selfridge looks so elegant. I adore Miss Selfridge jewellery and I'm always buying them when they are on sale. Also at the moment online there is a 25% off all jewellery so this is only £7.50 at the moment yay!

Lesley on earrings

I was tired of not being able to find my jewellery and they were always tangled up. I was looking for a solution to hang them up to save space as i have a really small room. Sophia has a wire vintage photo holder in her room  with lots of loops so i decided to go online and purchase one.

I bought this for £7.50 plus free shipping at base.com, which i thought was a bargain. I started adding my dangly earrings and a couple necklaces and put a photo to see what it would look like. The end results looks like this:

I think it looks so pretty hanging up in my room. I will definitely make use of my earrings now that i can see them clearly.
