I am on a roll with outfit posts at the minute! I'm loving fashion and clothes at the minute and I'm enjoying butting outfits together. I'm still a busy bee working and sleeping, working and sleeping! But I'm managing to fit some quality time in with my family and friends which is lovely. I've been looking at me and my man going away for a short break because I'm exhausted and we've not been away just the two of us for a few years now! I hope you're all OK, thanks for stopping by x

I was determined for it to be summer when I wore this, even though it started raining literally as soon as I left the house. Nice. I'm still loving these shoes guys, sorry if you're bored of the, already! I wore this get up to go shopping with my mum during the week, I got lots of lovely things so I'll probably do a haul post at some point. I'm so fed up with my hair!!! It's less purple than it was before I dyed it! I used the L'oreal Feria hair dye so it's a proper brand but honestly it was shite! I'm back using Live Colour XXL, can't go wrong with it! I hope you're all OK, thanks for stopping by x

Garnier Ultimate Blends Silky Smoothers.


Garnier Ultimate Blends Silky Smoother Shampoo (400ml £3.89), Conditioner (400ml £3.89) and Polishing Scrub (£4.49) (currently all half price in Boots).

Garnier have recently launched a new hair-care range entitled Ultimate Blends, catering for a variety of hair types and needs. Me being me, I went for the one that had my favourite scent (vanilla). The Silky Smoother range is targeted at "mid long hair with split ends", which is something I experience when my hair is overly processed (by me lol). They contain a blend of vanilla milk and papaya which just sounds divine! 

The shampoo and conditioner combo are lovely and leave the hair feeling silky soft and smelling delish! The Polishing Scrub is the product that intrigued me the most though- an exfoliator for your hair? Surely not! You better believe it chums! The idea is that you rub this onto the mid lengths to the ends of your hair to remove any split ends with the exfoliating particles. Then you leave it on for 1minute to soften and smooth your hair; I think this is a lovely treatment but I'm not 100% convinced it gets rid of split ends. I dunno, I'm just skeptical! These larger sized shampoo and conditioners were on offer recently so I bought another range to try so I'll keep you posted on that. Let me know if you've tried them and what you think!

What I Did This Week #12.



1. Home sweet home- it's been a funny old week! My fella's dad went away for the week so we moved in with his mama to help look after little Freddie the Shitzu. We're both proper home birds though so we had a bit of a rubbish time as we didn't sleep properly all week and I was knakard from work! It was lovely living with Freddie again though and I got to take him for walks on my day off and in the evenings. 
2. Accessory love in- I've bought too many accessories recently, including this lovely yellow combo! I am in love with these Melissa shoes, they are incredibly comfy and super cute. They go perfectly with my new M&S handbag too hehe.
3. I'll steal the diamonds from your eyes- a ring I've been wanting for aggeessssss finally went into the sale so I treated myself! It's Diamonique by Andrea MacLean on QVC UK. I photographed and tweeted it (@Medusa_Roisin) with my complete Diamonique collection, I've been a fan for a good few years now. 
4. Avon Calling! I've decided to become an Avon lady! I've always been a massive fan of Avon and I've thought about it since being in uni and have finally decided to give it a go! I'm just gonna do it with my family and work chums but I'll let you know how I get on!

I hope you're all OK and have had a nice week- enjoy your Bank holiday, think of little me at work! Thanks for stopping by x

This is what I'd refer to as my 'weekender' outfit. It's when comfort over-rides style and for me, this legging and top combo personifies that! I've been rocking this outfit a fair bit recently with various shoe and handbag combos. These shoes are soso comfy- they're deffo gonna be my staple summer shoes this year. I love this necklace! I think it looks so high fashion and it was only £3.99! I'm also loving this handbag- it's available in black and pink but I went for this one. I'm still working loads at the minute and I'm super tired all the time so I'm making sure I spend my days off doing fun things like shopping and eating out! I hope you're all OK, thanks for stopping by x

When Life Gives You Lemons...





Dress- Warehouse
Leggings- Primark
Shoes- Melissa
Bag- M&S Limited Collection

I'm living at my fella's mum's house this week while his dad's away so I've not got my camera with me, sorry! I'm loving my new shoes and handbag- yellow definitely isn't a 'me' colour but this pale yellow is super cute! I'm loving these Melissa shoes, they are so so comfy! They're my mini taste of Melissa before I get some Vivienne Westwood Melissa's (hopefuly when I get married!). This super cute box bag from M&S is stunning, unfortunately my purse doesn't fit in it which is rubbish so I need a solution. I wore this out shopping with my chum Dany, this dress is super comfy and I think it transcends the seasons (check me out). I'm so tired, I've got to wrap this up! Thanks for stopping by x

Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet.




Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet in 10 Beige (£33, John Lewis).

Le sigh! How I love Chanel makeup! 

I've read the odd blog post about the launch of this product and it didn't take much convincing for me to go out and buy this for myself. I used to wear Chanel Matte Lumiere religiously before they discontinued it a few years ago; however, I wasn't at all impressed with the Perfection Lumiere Foundation that replaced it. Perfection Lumiere Velvet is meant to be somewhere between the Perfection Lumiere Foundation and their Vita Aqua Lumiere which is loved by bloggers. For non-Chanel shoppers, that basically means this is supposed to be a matte finish light-weight foundation.

I love the packaging of this foundation- as always with Chanel it's super sleek and classy. I went for the lightest shade 10 Beige which is a beautiful buttery Ivory. It's thicker than I imagined it would be- in a good way! This foundation is super light and velvety and blends seamlessly feeling as light as silk. However, I'm quite disappointed by the coverage, it's super light and everything shows through from my pores, redness, blemishes and dark circles. I'm actually a bit gutted about this because it sure ain't cheap! It also doesn't last very well as the day wears on, although my skin doesn't look oily at the end of the day (bonus) the foundation do seperate and thin a bit, especially on any dry patches. To be fair, my skin isn't that great at the minute so I might give it another go when my blemishes clear up, but for now I'll give it a miss. Thanks for stopping by x
