This Week #24

01. Another week, another bad photobooth shot. I've barely had time to do anything interesting as it's been back to work for me and back to having zero free time. I've somehow managed to buy so much this week though (lets blame those lunch breaks) and have lots of new exciting beauty products to post about! I've also got a video about my Clarisonic and the products I use with it which I was supposed to upload today but forgot about, so that should be coming as soon as I have seven hours in which to babysit my computer while it uploads. Why is youtube so slow!?

02. I very scarily realised that in just seven short days I'll be turning the ripe old age of 20. I'm actually devastated to no longer be a teenager, 20 sounds so old! To celebrate becoming an old woman I've been thinking about getting my hair cut shorter as it's actually such a hassle to do anything with right now. Possibly something like Mollie King or good old Olivia P. but I'm pretty sure I'd get instant hairdressers-remorse. I've only ever had long hair and it's become a bit of a security blanket for me!

03. I actually started writing this post about an hour and a half ago, but I've been completely distracted looking at nail decals on eBay. For anyone that hasn't heard of them yet, they're basically like temporary tattoos for your nails, amazing! I may have just purchase every variation of these assorted cat ones!

This Week #19

01. I wasn't going to post tonight (lazy, I know) and sorry about the blah photobooth picture, but it just occurred to me that my Real Techniques Core Collection giveaway ends at midnight so if you haven't entered yet and want a chance to win a set of brushes that will seriously change your life, click here!

02. Today has pretty much consisted of getting up late, spending a silly amount of money on snacks and rubbish and watching bad day time TV. Perfect Sunday I'd say! We also went to see the Hunger Games tonight, hence the lateness of this post. I was a bit disappointed that it didn't quite live up to the book which, although a bit gory is a pretty exciting read, but it was still great!

03. I've got a few videos lined up to film but I'd love to know if there's anything particular you'd be interested in seeing? I'd like to think I was actually being informative and not just rambling away at a camera!

04. Most importantly though, I Covet Thee is one year old today! Happy Birthday little blog. I can't believe how quickly a year has gone by but thank you to every one of my readers who really have made it an amazing one!

Oh My Allegra's

Topshop Allegra's
So I finally caved and bought these. I think they're fast becoming the new Jeffrey Campbell Lita's seeing as everyone seems to have them! I'm not a huge fan of heels, mainly due to the fact that if I'm any more than in inch off the ground, I can barely put one foot in front of the other without falling down. But what can I say? Chelsea boots with chunky heels. Perfection. Even if I do just have to wear them while tottering around the house.

Also, apologies for the crappy photobooth picture, but I just had to show you all these. My shiny new Canon 550D is on its way to me as we speak and regular blogging can resume!

Hair Today.. Gone Tomorrow

I'm really starting to miss my dark hair. I took my first venture into home dying a few months ago using this from L'Oreal and loved it to begin with. Its a shame all I have are these awful photobooths to show you. It ended up a lot darker than the colour on the box, and washed me out a little so I was thinking of jumping on the band wagon and ombreing that bad boy. After a few weeks though it really started to fade away quickly and in a month it was completely gone. (Is it just me or do other people picture Antonio Bandaras in a mask, swooshing around when someone says Ombre? ... No?) Now, considering I haven't had my hair cut professionally for years, its in pretty poor condition, so I'm putting it down to that. Ever since asking for a trim and being given a bob cut against my will, I've stayed away from the scissor wielders who just can't grasp my 'vision' and refuse to let me leave untill my hairs been straightened to within an inch of it's life. Then again, am I better off alone in the bathroom with a pair of kitchen scissors making a mess? Probably not.



I absolutley adore Ashlee Simpson's Ombre taken to the extreme. It isn't likely that I'd be able to pull it off strolling around town though, and I don't know how I'd justify all that bleach, but its something I know I'm going to end up doing.
This is the point where my boyfriend rolls his eyes and gestures to a bottle of peroxide cleaner under the sink with a knowing look. I don't think I'm quite at the point of melting my hair off to get the 'Drew Barrymore', thankfully. Then again, if it went wrong I could always buy a wig.

hiya

Just casually chillin' on the sofa, watching family guy at 4am. I've managed to wreck my body clock which sucks seeing as I'm starting my new job in three days. 9am starts? Please no. The things we do for the £££££££.

Lifes been pretty hectic recently, moving into our new flat. Who knew choosing a sofa could pose such a dilemma. Ikeas been getting some serious love from my bank account, Pro being I have a lovely new furnished home, Con being I haven't set foot in Topshop for at least two months. Even a trip to good old Primarni is beyond my budget. Sob. Instead I've been milling around the dozens of charity shops that I'm now a minutes walk away from. Granny power all the way!
