Note to self: Do not confuse mini straighteners with travel straighteners...

Oh how I wanted to be able to post about how amazing these straighteners are and that I will be bringing them to NYC in my suitcase next week instead of my heavy GHD's.

I won't be doing any such thing though.

Yes mini straighteners, you have failed me. Unfortunately they simply don't cut it. I mean don't get me wrong they are still cheap, but for me they won't be of any more use to me than straightening my fringe when I get into work if the humid/damp weather has made it go curly at the roots.

The problem with them was they just didn't actually straighten my hair! More flattened it for a split second. I can't help but feel a little cheated, but I think that's my fault for thinking I might actually be able to rely on them when I have obviously been using GHD's all these years for a reason!!

Would I recommend these straighteners?? Probably not in all honesty. Most of my friends also say they have unruly hair so if you have any kind of resistance to straightening in your hair these babies are not for you! Unless of course you want to bring them to work for quick touch ups (but don't get ahead of yourself - when I go out from work I will still be carting my heavy GHD's into work with me to use for touching up)

Forgotten Purchases...

Haha, story of my life - I actually forgot about two purchases I made today!! The missing two are Miss Sporty FABULOUS lash in Waterproof Black (I use this everyday as it is the only mascara that holds the inital curl from eyelash curling - all other mascaras are too heavy/wet and push the curl back down!) and Miss Sport XX Volume mascara in Waterproof Black - I have yet to try this but given it was only £2.99 I thought I would give it a whirl...


Anyway, more on that when I get around to it haha! Here are full purchases...




As you can see I have tried the BarryM nailvarnish in shade #293 "grey". LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!! Perfect for what I was wanting colour wise (just make sure you use two coats) and only £2.95!!

Go out and buy it now!!!!!

♥ Today's Purchases!! ♥

Hello again!!

Giddy Princess here on this (slightly duller than the past few) Monday afternoon.

Soooooo I have been out and about into town at lunch time and I have finally bought a grey nail varnish! Yay! Barry M to be precise. Whilst in Boots I also spotted a bargain eye cream at £1.94 or something so I have picked that up to have a try!

My favey purchase though are some fabulous mini travel straighteners I spotted last week in both New Look and Topshop. After much deliberation (and of course with the help from L) I decided to purchase the New Look ones today, basically because they were ♥PINK♥!! And at only £10 they have the potential to be an amazing bargain!

Now my ideal result would be that I can bring these beauties to NYC with me on my hol next week to keep lots of room for things I might buy when I get back, but I haven't tried them yet so I will let you know how I get on and whether they can tame my unruly frizzy hair!!!!

Reviews on all today's purchases soon dudettes!
