I'm so sorry i haven't made a post for such a long time!

I have a new love.. Fantasy Shopper It's a brand new game which was only released 2/3 weeks ago! I never thought i'd be so hooked as i am - i'm totally addicated! its a great new concept!

What is Fantasty Shopper?
Fantasty Shopper [LINK] is a game which your able to buy Clothes, Jewelry, Shoes and Bags from all shops from high street to high end!





















They don't have loads of shops just yet because they've only just opened the site, but they will have many more shops coming. Soon you will be able to buy a suitcase and visit New York, Paris and other places and you'll be able to buy from them shops!

Why are they in Zones?
Zone 1 - Zone 4: These are cheapest to most expensive! So in Zone 1 as you can see you have the cheapest shops for example, New Look to the most expensive for example: Harrods





















As you can see this is how the shops are laid out and if you click on the item you can add it to your basket and then purchase the item and it will appear in your waredrobe. With all you're clothes you can make outfits and also make other people on Fantasy Shopper outfits using their clothes that they've purchased!

Pay Days:
At the top of the picture it has a time countdown for 60.00 minutes and after that 60 minutes, you recieve money: At the start you recieve £60 and sometimes they may take £10 off the £60 because you went to the cinema or take £10 because you topped up your phone. They also give you extra money so if you click on it, it may say you've recieved £22 more because you've babysitted, so then you'll recieve £82!

You also recieve badges for example, when you make a outfit for other Fantasy Shopper members they can like the outfit and for your first like you recieve a badge and you win £80, theres lots of badges to collect so this also increases your money!

You can create outfits for events, theres new events everyday and it tells you in the description where your going and on the bases you create an outfit and other Fantasy Shopper members can like your outfits and the most liked outfit wins the event and you get the chance to earn some more money!


I hope i've explained enough, to make you all understand but its so addicting and its a great way to buy items which you can't afford in real life! I hope you all come and join, its free and i never though it become so addicted!

Left to right: ELF Blush Brush, ELF Eye Crease Brush, ELF Powder Brush, ELF Blending Brush, Avon Angled Brush, ELF Stipple Brush, No7 Eyeshadow Blend & Contour Brush and ELF Complexion Brush

ELF Blush Brush: This brush is amazing for applying blusher because its the perfect size and it apply's the Blusher really nicely and with this brush you can sheer down the blush or apply it very heavily. Like all ELF Studio brushes its extremely soft!

Price: £3.50

ELF Eye Crease Brush: This is a lovely brush for getting into the crease, the inner conner and the brow-bone for applying highlighter. Its not as soft as the Studio brushes and does shed a little but I can't complain as there only £1.50 and they are fantastic and do the job!

Price: £1.50

ELF Powder Brush: This has been in my previous favourites, so I did write about it there so I won't write as much but this is a fantastic brush for applying Liquid Foundation or I'm sure it would also be great for Mineral Foundation! Overall this is a lovely brush and so worth the money! You won't be disappointed with this brush!

Price: £3.50

ELF Blending Brush: This is a lovely blending brush, I'm going to buy a few more of these just because I love these brushes to pieces! there wonderful when it comes to blending colours together and they are great quality even though like my Crease Brush it does shed but its still a fantastic brush!

Price: £1.50

Avon Angled Brush: This brush is amazing for contouring that's what I most like to use it for my on some occasions I do use it for my blusher and it works just aswell, this is the great size for getting along those cheekbones and jaw bone so its lovely for both. Its super duper soft! Have washed this a lot and hasn't shed one bit!

Price: £6

ELF Stipple Brush: I'm not sure if I have mentioned this brush in a blog post before because its an AMAZING brush and deserves to be raved about along with the ELF Powder Brush which I also love to bits! Its amazing for applying Liquid Foundation, I've been using this with my MAC Studio Sculpt and I've tried quite a few brushes including sponges but this is my favourite for applying it! Its gives me an amazing flawless coverage. Its also a lovely brush for applying Blusher! Overall I definitely recommend this brush!

Price: £3.50

No7 Eyeshadow Blend & Contour Brush: This is a lovely brush for blending eye shadows or applying it evenly to your eyelids and its lovely for the socket line!! Its super soft and it does the job for you! I brought this with my No7 £5 Voucher so it came to about £2-3(brought it a while ago, so I can't remember sorry!) I would pay the full price for it just because its a wonderful brush and i love it! Although it does shed, but not like crazy!

Price: £7.25

ELF Complexion Brush: This is a SUUUPER soft brush! I like using this brush for applying my pressed powder or a setting powder, its a fabulous brush which i use everyday!

VO5 Miracle Concentrate: This is an amazing oil, when i've washed my hair i put this onto my end of my hair and blow dry it, its makes my hair feel so soft and amazingly silky! Its lovely and it contains Argan oil which is amazing for hair because hydrates the hair in a natural way and also makes the hair much more managable and reduces frizzyness! Whenever i blow dry my hair or even when my hairs dry i use this product and its fab! It also has a gorgeous smell! You can buy this product from Superdrug, Boots, Tescos and Asda and places like that! Its around £5 and its worth it for a 50ml bottle compared to 25ml bottle of Moroccan Oil is £12-£13 and the 100ml is around £30, so this is also amazing if you want to try Moroccan Oil and your on a budget!

Garnier Soft Essentials Day Care Cream: This is my everyday day cream for Dry/Sensitive Skin and its so moisturising its amazing for my dry skin, they also have one for Normal/Combination Skin. It also has a lovely fresh smell!

Toni & Guy Beach Curl Spray: Where do i start?! i love love love this product! I brought it in the middle of July when i was looking for a product to make crazy wavy/curly hair into beautiful waves and this definitely did the job, it leaves my hair with gorgeous waves and it smells gorgeous! You recieve 200ml for £6.12 its a snatch! I popped into my local boots and found it was on other for 2 for £6 on Selected Toni & Guy Products so i picked up another bottle and also the Toni & Guy Finishing Shine Spray! Grab this amazing deal while it lasts!

Eyeko London Lips! - Review & Swatches

For a while i had been looking at these lipglosses on the website and they looked gorgeous! I popped into my local tkmaxx and found 3 of them for £5!! I quickly snatched it and it was the last one, how lucky?!I couldn't resist this bargain!

-You recieve 13.5g in each one & they're limted edition so snatch these gorgeous colours while you can!







Left to right - Soho, Mayfair & Portobello






















































Where to i start? They're all super pigmanted and last for a long time on your lips and they smell gorgeous - they smell like sweets and bubblegum!

Soho: Soho is extremely pigmanted pink! its gorgeous and a very vibrant pink! Perfect colour to glam up your look if you are out in the day and than meeting up with friends later on in the evening! Its the perfect size to throw into your bag!

Mayfair: Mayfair is the perfect nude/brown and it has golden shimmer which is perfect to apply over a lipstick or even on its own! Its a gorgeous everyday colour or even for nights out, if you have smokey/vibrant eye make-up  and you don't want to over do it, this colours perfect!

Portobello: Portobello is a gorgeous light pink colour and this also has golden shimmer, its a perfect for a everyday lip and this would look lovely over a lipstick too!

This lipglosses are lovely however i would suggest applying a clear lipbalm on before applying these as i find they can be abit stiff(if that makes sense) when applied but when applying over a clear lipbalm its absolutely fine!

I would definitely suggest purchasing one of these Eyeko London Lips lipglosses as they're gorgeous and really pigmanted! i now have my eye on shoreditch which is a gorgeous reddy/rose colour which i will most definitely be purchasing! They're worth every penny!

You can purchase these on the website: http://www.eyeko.com/eyeko-products-c-21.html and they have more beautiful colours and some other lovely products! They also ship worldwide on their website!
They retail at £6.50 each but they're definitely worth every penny!
