Nails Of The Day: 3/12/2010

I felt a little bit more Christmassy last night and decided to paint my nails with something funky and festive! Obviously the typical Christmas colours are red and green so that's what I went for :)

Originally it was just plain and simple with all my nails painted red except my ring fingers which I painted green. I wanted to add a little something else and decided to do some sort of french tip design so I went over the top with alternate colours.

The colours I went for were Barry M's Nail Paint in Racing Green (a gorgeous deep shimmery dark green) and L'Oreal's Resist & Shine Titanium polish in number 540 (a rich shimmery cranberry red).

Never really do fancy pants nail designs to be honest, usually just a slick it on and go kinda girl when it comes to nails! Haha!

Hope you enjoyed this little nail post anyhooo :) let me know if you'd like to see more 'Nails Of The Day'. Love, Sara x

The Phantom Hacker!

Yes people, we have an epidemic on our hands. There is a YouTube beauty guru hacker on the loose!

They are going by the name of 'Amanda Woods' and sending out various emails to different guru's trying to trick us in to entering in our personal information in to a fake YouTube log in page. 

I have personally recieved 2 emails now from 'Amanda Woods' telling me that someone had stolen all my videos and were uploading them to another YouTube channel. Naturally, I clicked the link to check it out and that's when I noticed the fake YouTube page asking me to log in and expose my password. Now I was fortunate enough to notice that certain aspect of this YouTube log in page weren't the real deal but other guru's such as Kandee Johnson and sccastaneda typed in their information thinking it was just a concerned subscriber trying to help them out,thus, revealing their YouTube account passwords, leaving the hacker to log in nice an easy...

They are sending emails from the address amandawoods42@gmail.com. Just incase you were wondering what the email looked like, I took a print screen of the one that they just sent me:

(Click on the image to make it bigger)

It seems the hacker is not about to stop either as I have just been speaking with DulceCandy87 and ItsJudyTime on Twitter and they have said they have both just received the same shoddy email. Also noticed a fair few other guru's sending out tweets about the situation. All I can say is that if you make video's on YouTube or have a popular blog that they are likely to target, do not click the link in the email. Simple.

That is all for now, just wanted to tell you about this silly little person trying to trick us in their little games. Well, no, we will conquer ;) muahahaa!

LUSH Review: The Böög

LUSH has brought out this new little number from their Christmas collection this year - it is a bath ballistic called The Böög. On the website it says The Böög was inspired by a Swiss tradition that involved building a snowman type figure, filling it's head with fireworks and placing it on top of a bonfire! They would then watch and wait for the fireworks to explode from his little head! Boom!

I ran my warm bath and dropped the little fellow in under the tap! It instantly began fizzing (quite loudly!) and dissolving the main white outer layer...the smell was gorgeous! It smelt a lot like Jasmine to me although that isn't even one of the ingredients?! It's main ingredients are Armoise Oil, Myrrh Resinoid, Rosmary Oil and Clary Sage Oil.

Then came the exciting part! The 'fireworks'! As soon as the white part of the bath ballistic had dissolved, out came the fun, bright colours! It looked so pretty and the colours didn't merge together to create some yucky colour, they actually stay in there own little sections and happily fizzed away showing shades of pink, purple, yellow, orange, blue and green!

By this point the smell was just heavenly! It was so relaxing it almost made me feel slightly dozy! I just wanted to jump in and lay there all night...ahhh! The smell was quite herbal and fresh but it also had that rich warmth to it which probably came from the Myrrh (very Christmassy!) as that tends to have the smell of an amber-incense.

The so called 'fireworks' inside the ballistic (the little coloured balls) are actually tiny little LUSH bubble bars which makes the bath almost creamy feeling and extremely moisturising! They also create a few more bubbles than your ordinary bath ballistic.

 

Well by the time I had taken these photo's and lit a few candles, it was time for lights off and relax! I have been up fairly late most nights with my little monkey of a puppy and constantly running round after her through the day so it was lovely to have some 'me' time and just chill :)

I am so impressed with The Böög, I think I can even go as far as saying that it might be one of my new favourites! I deffinately am going to buy a couple more as they are limited edition for Christmas time and cost just £2.25. You can purchase it from LUSH stores or from the LUSH website, here: http://www.lush.co.uk/products/christmas-2010/christmas-bath-ballistics/the_boogg_1553.html

Hope you enjoyed this post everyone! What is your favourite product from LUSH?

Love, Sara x

READER QUERY: Loose Powders and Mascaras

Hey guys... Sharmi has a few doubts and would like some help from all of us...
Her queries are as follows:

1. I have hypersensitive oily skin. I am thinking to buy Oriflame Loose Powder in Medium shade. Does it give a good coverage?
2. I wear specs. I have small scare eyelashes. I want to wear mascara. Last time I used, I had experience falling of lashes. Could you refer me a excellent mascara.
3.Do you have any ideas how I can have thick eye lashes naturally?

REPLY
1. Oriflame loose powder is a good option if you have oily skin. I have always felt that loose powder is a better option than compact and Oriflame products are know to never cause any reactions to the skin :) Oriflame as such offers two kinds of loose powders--- Giordani Gold Mineral loose powder and Oriflame Air Soft Powder. Both give excellent coverage. The Giordani Gold Mineral loose powder comes in "light" and "medium" shades and has an applicator puff with it. The Air soft powder on the other hand comes in "clear" and "light". It doesn't have a puff with it.
Though I have dry skin, I have super oily lids and so I myself use the Air Soft powder. If u need something for your whole face with a "foundation"-like coverage then you might go for the Giordani Gold Mineral powder.

2. I personally would recommend three brands:- Revlon, Oriflame and Maybelline. I use the Revlon waterproof mascara, Maybelline Colossal Volume mascara and Oriflame's Vision V* Freaking mascara... All in BLACK!!! :D They do not cause reactions and have good volumizing effects :)

3. For naturally thickening one's lashes my mom always recommends using CASTOR OIL on the lashes before retiring for bed :)

I hope I ve been able to help you out here Sharmi... If you guys (blog readers) have something else to add, do put in your comments as well :) All are welcome :D
