Fabulous At Bank Dress, Warehouse Dress, Lipsy Skirt, Michael Kors Large Hamilton Tote, Katy Perry Oh My Lashes, Bourjois Smart Nail Polish Remover
I actually just bought this mint lace dress and I love it so much. It's such a flattering shape and length. Outfit post on that to come soon :)
It's my 21st in January (I know its really really early to start looking at presents now but a girl can dream!) and I'd really love a 'proper' handbag, something classic that will go with everything, something well made that I can keep for years, and so far this is a strong contender. I really like the chain detail and the size, as I tend to lug everything bar the kitchen sink around with me!
I really want to try these lashes after seeing Emma's post here about them. I've always been a little scared by the really full lashes like these but after seeing what they actually look like on they're exactly the kind of look I like for a night out.
Of course the new Bourjois Nail Polish Remover has made it onto my wishlist too. I work as a Healthcare Assistant and can't wear nail varnish for work so this is something nice and practical I can leave in my bag for just in case I get caught out. The packaging is so cute too!

Enrapture Heated Rollers
Enrapture Heated Rollers are available at Debenhams and retail at £75
Enrapture products have been all over the blogosphere lately and are are a brand I've really wanted to try but simply couldn't justify spending £75 on as I don't curl my hair very often, but when I found these brand new at a Debenhams staff sale for only £5 I just had to have them!
I've never used heated rollers before and these took a while to get used to. You have to make sure you roll the ends around the barrel properly which has taken a lot of time and burnt fingers but the end result is so pretty and makes my hair look so much healthier! I still need to practice a little more with these to perfect the look but it's safe to say I've been converted!
What I love about using these rollers is that they are so low maintenance. I put these in when I wake up and have time to do my make-up and get dressed before they are ready to come out and I'm good to go. Some people on the reviews section of Debenhams have said they take them out after 10 minutes but I like to leave mine until they are completly cool which takes a bit longer. The instructions also show different ways to place the rollers for different effects which I'll be trying soon.
Have you tried Enrapture rollers? What did you think? How do you feel they compare to other heated rollers?

Plain White Tee
New Look T-Shirt, New Look Jeggings, Topshop Necklace, H&M and New Look Bracelets, Primark Sunglasses
Boring outfit for me today, I picked this tee up yesterday after finding I have hardly any basics in my wardrobe. Whenever I see even a hint of sunshine I seem to be attracted to neutral baggy tshirts!
Review coming tonight on the Enrapture heated rollers! I've finally got the hang of them and love them!

RIMMEL Wake Me Up Foundation
Rimmel Wake me up Foundation in Ivory - £8.99
I bought this foundation last week on a bit of a whim after my old one had ran out. I remember seeing the advert for this and thinking it looked okay and then completly forgetting about it for months-typical me!
When I swatched this it felt very thich and creamy, like other Rimmel foundations I've tried, and of course it has the trademark highly perfumed scent.
This foundation has light reflecting particles which you can't see when applied, though in low light it's quite obvious. I prefer my foundations to be as invisible as possible so I wasn't really keen on this factor.
The finish is quite sheer, I need a lot of coverage so this isn't great for me but it could be good for summer as it feels more like a moisturiser. I'm trialling Estee Lauder Double Wear right now so this has gone in my backup makeup box for now.
I will use this again as I hate wasting foundation but it's probably not one I would buy again. I may get one of the less sparkly rimmel ones for summer though.
How do you rate Rimmel foundations? Have you tried Wake me Up?

Real Techniques Stippling Brush
Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman Stippling Brush, £11.99, Boots
"Create a flawless base with this beautifully designed Stippling brush by Samantha Chapman, which helps you build coverage gradually for an airbrushed, high definition result"After hearing the hype over the blogosphere about this range I decided to pick up the Stippling Brush last time I was in Boots. This brush has been a saviour for me since I have had it, I couldn't go back to my old Topshop foundation brush now. The great thing about a stippling brush is that it can be used for foundation, blusher, bronzer and powder, so cuts down the need for other brushes.
My makeup looks so light while still providing the coverage I need when I use this brush, and I've been recommending it to all my friends! It dosen't absorb any product and is easy to clean. Such a lovely product!

Sneak Peek
Not posted in a while as I've had some sad family news, so here is a little peek into whats coming soon. Reviews from Enrapture, José Eber, Corioliss, Real Techniques and Rimmel. I'm so excited to share these with my readers and hopefully I will get some outfit posts out too. I'm starting my new job tomorrow so I'm going to try and sort out some kind of schedule rather than try to whack out posts in a rush that end up being of bad quality.
Hope everybodys had a lovely Mothers Day, I know mine has been spoilt!

EDIT: "I hope everybodys had a lovely Mothers Day, I know mine has been spoilt!" Meaning I know my Mum has been spoilt by us all, not that the day was spoiled because of the news!
