Shop My Stash September Week 2 Intro

Hi guys,
Yeah, I know that I didn't do week one of Shop My Stash but that was because I had just got back from  holiday and then work was mental etc etc! Seriously, one day I was working from 8am until 9pm! Crazy.

Post Holiday Beauty Haul

The truth about beauty

Hi guys,
I'm shaking it up a bit. This is in response to the post by shalunyaboyet.blogspot.com about what beauty truly is and is about Image. Comment if you have anything to say; if you're a blogger, do what you do and link your blog post in the comment section.

I am still here

Hi guys,
I am still on holiday but I was posting to say that I won't be doing any major posts probably until I get back next Saturday.

I will do a beauty haul then but I was just saying hi and that yes, I am still here.

If you want to contact me, do not hesitate to email saffyblogger@gmail.com or talk to me at +SaffronLallem(Saffy)!

Smile!

Hi guys,
Here's a post following in the footsteps (or trying to) of shalunyaboyet.blogspot.com in a deeper post. This is about smiling.

I am naturally a very smiley person, I will smile at the old lady opposite me on the tube before work so it is very easy to tell when I am down.

If it is this obvious and you know something is up with me and I don't want to tell you because you have been horrible earlier today, don't keep pestering me to tell you so that you can laugh at my expense. What is more don't act like a child, honey, by chasing me along a street when I have stuff to do.

What do you expect me to do? I have an expressive face and I wear my heart on my sleeve. Get over yourself and maybe then I can smile! If you were genuinely worried you would not make me sadder by pestering, you would understand and let me be.

I know it sounds like I am having a go so sorry but maybe now I can smile!

Saffy

On holiday

Hi guys,
I am on holiday at the moment so I don't know when I will be blogging.

You can still contact me on Google+, Gmail etc but just do not expect me to answer immediately! I will try and get back to you asap if you do but sorry if it is a long time.

Saffy

Holidays!

Hi guys,
I am so sorry that recently I haven't been updating that much. I go on holiday in a couple of days so I probably won't be blogging that much then. However when I get back, I promise to do a full season picks post and an up and coming Autumn/Winter post! Plus a post on my great mascara as seen in the pic below this post :-)

But I would like to do an announcement/plea fror help first from myself and +ShalunyaTheChronicBeauty at shalunyaboyet.blogspot.com:

If anyone knows or is a 60-70 year old female beauty/fashion/lifestyle blogger, we may be interested to do a guest post with you.
This would be a post that we haven't decided on the theme of but would be because I am in my 20s, Shalunya is in her 40s and we would like someone in their 60s.

Anyway, add me at bloglovin or +SaffronLallem, subscribe to this blog, use the contact form on the side of this blog or email me at saffyblogger@gmail.com.

Sinful Colours Nail Varnish Review

Hi guys,
So, in my next post, I will go backwards and do my beauty haul. The offer on Sinful Colours in Boots is no longer on but they are still so cheap at £1.99. I am a massive fan of Sinful Colours but they have only recently become widely available in the UK.

I bought a Sinful Colours Cream Nail Enamel in Easy Going. This is a gorgeous colour and perfect for French manicures, I do the white tips with a white nail pen.

Lush Beauty Haul

Hi guys,
I have been shopping today in Lush and am therefore doing a Lush beauty haul post. For those of you without Lush stores, you can buy the products online at lush.com I would like to shout out to +Jamie Clark because it's her birthday: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Earring making - The easiest ones

Hi guys,
I have started to make earrings recently with my friend and I wanted to show you guys how to make the easiest ones.

You will need for the easiest ones:

• Earring hooks (available from jewellery or craft shops) 
• Pliers
• Charms with loops built in such as this:

Nail Pens

Hi guys,
So my favourite nail pens for nail art are the nail pens from Rio. I have been using these for a while and they're so great. They even have a pack of rhinestones and glitter when you buy a box of 8. They are only available by internet order I think but I love them. They take quite a while to dry but they are very long lasting and there is so much in the bottle that they last for a really long time.

Liebster Award

Hi guys,
So I have been nominated for the Liebster Award by Jessalyn Nicole of Makeup by Jessalyn Nicole. She has a makeup blog where she reviews makeup, gives tips and tricks and gives tutorials.

Top Three Tag

Hi guys,
So after being tagged by my good friend across the pond, in her great post shalunyaboyet.blogspot.com/2013/07/top-three-tag.html?m=1 I have compiled a post of my favourite products. At the bottom I tag others who will then continue the blogging party!

Shopping haul

Hi guys,
So I have finally found ideas for my blogging! Thanks to +WalshVictoria for her helpful suggestions and support.
So I have been shopping! And I have a huge beauty haul so I shall proceed to delight you with my shopping antics:

Lancome Hypnose Drama Eyes Palette Review

Hi guys,

I bought the Hypnose Drama Eyes Palette instead of the Star which is the mascara that I bought. I preferred these colours because the blue seemed a little too shocking and bright for what I wanted it for at the time (a daytime work eyeshadow) but I probably will purchase it at some point. 

Sorry for not uploading recently but my computer went wonky and then I got a new one! So on my new computer, here I am! 

Any help??

Hi guys,
Recently I have hit a huge blogging wall. I rarely update and I don't know, it just seems really weird. Then some days I will have loads of ideas and blog loads!
Any blogging suggestions, leave a comment.

Product Review: Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara

Hi guys,
A review today, this time on the brand new Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara

Product Review - No7 Free Gift

Hi guys,
So here's my product review for the free gift from No7 mentioned in my last blog post or the one before it. It was an offer that is still on in Boots stores and it is that if you buy 2 or more No7 items, you get a beauty bag filled with No7 gifts.

Weirdest Baby Names

Hi guys,
With the whole North West thing with Kim Kardashian's baby, I decided to do a post on the weirdest baby names that at least 5 babies as of 2013 have as their name. I found most of these names from Huffington Post but descriptions are my own!

For Girls:
Ahmiracle or Damiracle:
Seriously guys, Miracle is acceptable but WHAT!!

Beautyful or Pretty:
What if they're not!

Goodness:
Ok until they become a teenager; is it a challenge?

Money or Pryce:
Um, no, just no.

Ikea:
Yes, at least 5 babies have been called Ikea this year.

Shady,
Sunny, Snow etc can work but not Shady.

Vegas:
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

Younique:
One of the more acceptable names out of this list but still No.


For Boys:
Handsome:
See Beautyful or Pretty

Harshit:
Beautiful Sanskrit names meaning full of happiness but if you speak English it's a whole different story.

Kartier:
Klassy

Princeton or Princeten:
What if he gets into Yale or Harvard?

Vader:
A lifetime of Star Wars jokes.

Tigger:
Once said boy is a teenager, he will have relentless mickey-taking.

Heavyn:
Heaven is bad enough but for those who want a different spelling, DO NOT PUT HEAVY IN THE MIDDLE!!

Tequila:
Not a good name. Full stop.
