Non-beauty girl lazy make up.



If like me you are a lazy cow and this is a frequent scenario :

Self : I'll Just watch this /go on youtube/ play facebook game for five minutes ..I've got hours..
*3 hours later *
Self : WAH ! Need to the leave house in 10 minutes and look like a corpse ! 

I'm not really a girl who likes to spend hours faffing with make up .If it's evening event then I will make an effect but for the day time ,I just like to not to look dead and washed out . That's how I have streamlined daytime make up to six items which can be applied in less than 10 minutes .Winner.

Rimmel wake up me up foundation - This is best foundation ever basically .Not like I've even tried crazy expensive brands .It basically takes you from zombie to alive in seconds .Simply ace stuff .

Rimmel stay matte powder - Confession ,sometimes I'm so lazy .I only use this ..

Collection 2000 primed and ready - I love primer ,I have read a lot of beauty blog who claim they don't use it .I need it! I had used much more expensive ones but guess what ? the £5.99 one is exactly the same! like whacking on polyfiller to fill in the cracks!

Mua bronzer - £1 bronzer for those cheekbones .Expect my cheekbones don't seem be at the same level? does anyone else have this problem?

Benefit sugarbomb - Stupid expensive but lasts for ever .Round and round those apples until I come to life .

mua mascara - I barely use this .I wear glasses who can see my eyes?!

And done!

A little lost.


Monday conundrum.

Why does my blog seemingly have to be about beauty and fashion for anyone to read it? I've done a little research through several sites and it seems all you can blog about as a girl is your family life ( 2.4 kids & hubby ) or beauty and fashion .Variables of latter included such as budget and thrift .I could tell you thing about about being on a budget ,given that my income is a practically zero .

I don't want to go down that route because it's been done to death and quite frankly I'm not that kind of girl I don't buy enough or care enough about beauty products .Yes I use them ,why ? because like women since the dawn of time I need to enhance the pitiful contribution that god gave me .As for family life ,well I'm childless and single so unless I fabricated a whole life ,it's kind of out of the question.

I'd feel like a fraud if I went down the beauty and fashion route ,but were does that leave me ? I've labelled myself 'lifestyle' on several websites because after a month or so of blogging I really haven't carved out a niche yet . I enjoy writing , about day to day events or thoughts that are flying round in my messed up head but surely that just constitutes a diary ? After spending nearly ten years in the online diary world I needed a break form it but still had the urge to write .

I'm feeling a little lost today ,perhaps it's the bank holiday ,a day when the country used to stop but today is exactly the same as every other day.I also hate the way my blog looks today ,it's vile and I need to change it all ,I basically hate my blog today . Maybe I should just step away and come back when I was actually have something constructive to say ? 


Instead I'll just sit editing ridiculous pictures of myself.

Whose fairest of them all?



I am not a pretty girl. Don't think that I am being self deprecating in saying this, It is just a fact of life, a simple plain as day fact .I have never been described by anyone as pretty or stunning or any other adjective often associated with beauty. I have a nose that seems to grow larger on a daily basis, teeth so utterly British, Americans could probably buy them in a joke shop.

Coupled with the right amounts of cleavage, I have managed a level of apparent sexiness from the most beer goggled or desperate of eyes .The requirements to be sexy do not include prettiness. They are two quite different things. Sexiness is about an attitude you convey to the world, the way you walk in a room or dress to impress . Anyone can manifest sexiness .Being pretty or 'good looking ' on the other hand, either you’re born with or not and unfairly as it is pretty people can easily be sexy too . Ultimately there will come a time when sexiness wears off, weather it be the morning after when the make up has slide down your face or not .This doesn’t happens to those amongst us with the pretty label, they have an air of innocence about them, butter doesn’t melt in there sweet little mouths.There mask rarely slips .It’s when the pretty person comes to know this that they come the most dangerous. A wolf in sheep’s clothing if you want to be cliché about it.

There misdemeanour's and even darn right meanness are over looked in the face of a seemingly  innocent pretty face ,”oh they can be nightmare “but somehow they continue to get away with it, while us mere mortals have to tread carefully in there beautiful path. They float through life, a bubble of protection around that prefect even in a hurricane hair of there's .Oh how it must be lovely to know that, you’ll never be fully alone, an entourage will always follow in your wake not matter how vile you may choose to be.Your beautiful and that is all that matters.

What happens to these people, if and when the looks fade? The admiring glances stop? Do they become desperate older ladies ,mutton dressed as the proverbial lamb ,looking for one last bite of the “ it girl” cherry I guess I’m just jealous? Right? Actually I’d rather be a sometimes sexy girl, safe in the knowledge that I am not the bee knees but I can make myself her for the night if I want to do ,not living on borrowed time when the day comes that I can't rely on my looks to get whatever I want in life .
