H&M lip pen - REVIEW

I recently bough a H&M Lip pen while shopping online, I purchased it in the colour beige for £2.99
It also comes in two other colours being red & pink.

It goes on great there's no need to push to hard to get it to go on like alot of lip pens but it doesn't give you much colour but that could be because the colour I chose, After the pen falling out numerous times I actually decided to look in the tube and my one has snapped quite far down :(
It's often left in the lid leaving me with an empty tube and having slices taken out of it where it's getting bashed about in the lid, Which of course if I'm not expecting (it doesn't always fall out) it leaves it sitting in my lap.
For £2.99 I'd have hoped that the lip pen would have been abit more stronger then it is, I may give repairing it a try :)

Crafty Mumma - Playhouse decor/finishing touches

As I mentioned a few posts down the girls playhouse had arrived, Now even further down my blog there's another crafty mumma post about how i like to give things a go myself rather then just buying them. So for the girls playhouse I wanted to make a little polka dot heart bunting and a cupcake blackboard for them to write little bits like not in or the waiting time for tea (they have their play kitchen in there) Although i never made the MDF cupcake or hearts if I could I so would, I sprayed the cupcake with black board paint and the hearts I  painted with tester pot paints from wilkinsons, to create the dots I used some of a friends filters which gave me the pretty much perfect dots/circles :)

Do you like to give things ago yourself to get that more personal touch 

before buying them in from the shops?

How do you manage christmas?

I know I know I'm really early with this post and I've probably depressed you all or set you in a panic with how long we actually have left until Christmas but do you have any plans on how to make Christmas shopping easier? Every year I plan to start shopping in January but I never do so from now I plan on buying a present a week to help get a collection together before Christmas so i can go crazy closer to Christmas without spending so much in one go, I also plan on starting one of the Christmas saving cards in asda to buy all my Christmas dinner stuff in with, We have an early Christmas and Andy's mums as she works an awful lot.

So gelish really isn't for me

Freshly done

Just over a week old ^

Just after ripping a few of my acrylics off i ripped one a little to low down which meant i couldn't just go in for a infill or a take off and a fresh set :(

so i opted for gelish to help my nail repair from the rips and so i could still get things done as i can't stand the grated ruff feel of my nails once acrylics come off.

Anyway to the point I've had gelish for just over a week and my thumb one has chipped, first my index started lifting and peeled off, next was my middle finger 

a few others are lifting off too :(

i guess I'm just to rough/heavy handed for gelish and it's acrylics all the way for me

did you get on with gelish?

Crafty Mumma

Now i can be quite the crafty mumma when i put my mind to it, I LOVE to give things ago myself rather than pay a fortune to have someone else do it for me, I've seen the blinged up converse everywhere and always fancied a pair for my girls but Issy is a serial toe scuffer so they wouldn't last 5 minutes (she's on her 5th pair of school shoes since starting school, she wrecked her first pair on her first day at school) yes! she really is that bad when it comes to scuffing up shoes most of them ended up with flapping soles where they had been scuffed so badly on the toes, i'm dreading Daisie being the same anyway back to the point of this post, i was only meant to be replacing the laces to Daisie's converse with some ribbon but once i opened my crafty box i had the idea of using the minnie mouse heads that I've had for ages and was meant to make hair clips with and i had some left other pearls from when i decorated a phone case for myself awhile ago, so she ended up with some blinged up toes to her converse :) i had to order in some matching ribbon after i had done the toes it arrived and I'm not keen on it but it will do until i order in some white ribbon :) I'm yet to decorate Issy's pair for her

I could have ordered one of these in cheap enough but i could make it myself even cheaper ;) I love doing things myself for the girls it gives it abit more of a personal touch :) i plan on doing some with their names and adding some hooks so they can hang their dressing gowns on and bags etc, as well as some crown hair clip holders

I also made taggy blankets for them both when i was pregnant with Daisie and loads of headbands for Daisie but i hardly put them on her as i was terrified they'd be abit tight on her head and she couldn't exactly tell me they were hurting, I'd love to make them a patch work quilt each when i get the chance and get abit more clued up on working my sewing machine :) I've made myself a few pairs of earrings (not that i wear them but still i get to say i made them)

Do you get abit crafty in your spare time?

AVON colourtrend liquid foundation in Ivory Beige

I grabbed this while it was on offer in an Avon catalogue a friend had dropped into me, I was pretty chuffed with it colour was a near on perfect match went on smoothly although it felt quite heavy compared to the body shop foundation i was using before i gave this one ago, so all was going well UNTIL my eyes were watering on the way home from the school run and i got into my mums looked in the mirror to check my mascara hadn't run everywhere to be greeted with white streaks down my face and neck now i can imagine your thinking the shade is actually abit dark and my skin colour was showing through but no it was as if i'd had talc on under my eyes and that had run down my face :/ when it gets wet be it watery eyes or run it turns into a white mixture which does not look great running down your face and neck. I have this eye problem often so almost everytime i wear this i end up with white marks down my face before the day is over :(

not the best photos to show you what i mean but i was at my mums after the school run when grabbing this photo

have you had a bad experience with any of the Avon colourtrend products?

Is this really happening already?

 So not only is my Daisie doo's turning two in July, I also have a next steps meeting at Issy's school on Thursday because she will be going up to year 1 in September!!! It's crazy how quick it's all gone, although Issy didn't seem to grow up as quick as Daisie has this has all come round so quick, it only seems like a few months ago i was at the meeting getting all the booklets and ordering her school uniform for when she started in reception. she's turning into a little lady now, she has her own opinion when it comes to how she would like her hair,what shoes and clothes she will wear and not wear, she's like a mini teenager already we bicker like teenage sisters. Both my girls really aren't babies anymore
