That's What Best Friends Are For.

Hey blog friends! 

So my best friend just came back from her mini holiday in Magaluf and we spent our Sunday together and just acted like compete weirdos, drank pimms and... Well you'll see.

So the first best thing about best friends is that they give you clothes that they don't want anymore. Fabulous. She firstly gave me this dark blue peplum top from Tescos. 

Then she gave me this fabulous pale yellow coat with small orange flowers on. This coat is from Mossimo Supply Co. She picked it up when she lived in America and no longer wanted it and me, being a lover of floral, gave it to me. I have no idea how much it cost but its lovely anyways. 

So this is where things get really weird. Next weekend her family and my neighbours are having a wedding anniversary party and we were asked to put up the marquee! This was probably the most difficult thing to assemble in my life. The rods wouldn't stay together and we kept having to move it around. Poles were falling on our heads. We kept falling into bushes. MAYHEM ALL ROUND.

However it was probably the most fun I've had in a long time. Look at me here being an idiot.

How was your day? I hope you've had a fabulous weekend. I'm off to Southampton tomorrow to move  into my new house but my next youtube video will be up sometime this week. Have a wonderful evening beautifuls!

Love to you all. Ally xxxx

Beauty purchases!

Hello my lovely lot! 

So I went a little mad (for me) in SuperDrug and Boots today. I restrained myself to just buying these beautiful things instead of the endless lipsticks, eyeliners and blushes I was carrying around for about 10 minutes. 

Anyways. Over the next week I'm going to be reviewing these products and letting you all know what I think of them in my next youtube video. Something slightly different for my channel but oh well, diversity! 

You can check out my other youtube videos at http://www.youtube.com/theallygator2 and I hope everyone has had a wonderful day!

Love to you all. Ally xxxx

What I Did Today 26/06/13

Hello blog family! How's it going?

So today I thought I'd give you a little post about what I got up to on this gloriously sunny day! 

My day didn't start off great. I was planning to have a beauty sesh, nails, moisturising, the lot. But, and I still have no idea how this happened, when I was tieing up my hair to do my make up, I caught my thumb on the glue of the hair band and sliced my thumb open. Blood everywhere. What the hell is that? Not a great start to my day.

But I didn't let this put me off and continued with my beauty session. Today I used cocoa butter firming lotion which I think is incredible. It smells amazing, like you've been coated in chocolate, and it dries pretty quickly too. No gloopy, I can't put my clothes on for ages, residue. Perfect. 

So my afternoon was getting a little dull and I thought I'd cheer myself up by doing a little spot of painting. I haven't painted in ages and wanted to make something for my room because I'm such a girl and love flowers and everything. So I painted this. 

I think it turned out pretty good. 

I've just got back from an impromptu BBQ at my friends house which was so lovely. It was really nice to catch up with some friends I haven't seen for a while and we all just huddled around, drank some cider and laughed an incredible amount. A nice end to the evening. Happy days. 

I hope everyone has had a fabulous day and if you haven't, remember that things will be brighter someday. 

Love to you all! Ally xxxx

Barry M Gelly Nail Varnish Review.

Hello lovely ones!

So I was on the hunt the other day for a new nail varnish, as my currently collection is getting a little old, and picked up this lovely new beauty from the Barry M collection. I picked up the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in 'Blood Orange' for just £3.99! Absolute Bargain. 

I've been a fan of the Barry M nail varnishes for as long as I can remember and this one didn't disappoint. It uses the same applicator stick as we're all used to but the nail varnish itself is slightly thicker to give that 'gel' effect. It can be quite gloppy to apply but just a couple brushes on the top of the bottle and all is fine. I found with this nail varnish that you only needed a single coat. Whilst a second coat does result in a slightly darker and more 'polished' look, if you only had a moment of time to apply this nail varnish, one coat would be just fine! When the nail varnish dries you end up with an incredibly shiny and clean look. I didn't even have to apply a top coat as I'm used to, the product was so shiny!

Now with all good things come the bad. This nail varnish is incredibly difficult to remove. The colour, as it is so bright, ends up all over your nails and around them. Even applying a base coat doesn't help that much. This is a major annoyance as I end up with red bloody fingers for the whole day (not the most attractive look).

But I think I can handle a couple red fingers when considering how cheap and shiny this nail varnish is! Definitely would buy again.

See you soon!
