L-R: V05 Smoothly Does It Curl Defining Mousse, Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint in Chai and Frizz Ease Dream Curls Daily Styling Spray.


Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint in Chai

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint in Chai

I am struggling to remember a time when I haven't mentioned a Barry M Polish and for the life of me I don't think such a time exists. Good Old Barry, the undisputed King of High Street nails, will always be one of my favourites. Chai is a new release, part of Barry M's new Autumn collection. I love grey nails, always have and this one has become a fast favourite. I won't bang on about the formula and how good it is, we all know how good Barry M's formula is. So all I will say is that it is gorgeous and let's just leave it at that. 


V05 Smoothly Does It Curl Defining Mousse

I use this on an every other daily basis and yet have somehow never actually mentioned it on here. This is a staple in my haircare routine (which has taken years of perfecting by the way) and one of the strongest weapons in my frizz fighting arsenal. The mousse is amazing it get's rid of frizz and strongholds my hair into smooth curls rather than fuzzy ringlets. It is also really longlasting, it's a little bottle but it goes a long way. 


Frizz Ease Dream Curls Daily Styling Spray

This is a recent addition to the aformentioned frizz fighting arsenal (I like the metaphor, I'm sticking with it.) John Frida deserves a medal for Frizz Ease. The spray is really light weight and gives me really nice curls without any kind of sticky crunchiness. My curls are quite tight but this relaxes my hair a little bit, leaving me with looser, frizz free curls. I am in love with it.

This week I have been really poorly, I have acute laryngitis which is refusing to shift. I've almost completely lost my voice and am coughing constantly so it hasn't been a great week to be honest. Now when I'm sick there are a couple of things I like to do to make myself feel better (read more about that here) but one of them is to lose myself in a really good book. And this week that came in the form of How to Fall in Love by Cecelia Ahern, which I thoroughly enjoyed. How to Fall in Love tells the story of Christine Rose, owner of a recruitment company and lover of Self-Help books, who meets Adam when he is trying to commit suicide by jumping off the Ha'Penny Bridge in Dublin. Determined not to let that happen Christine and Adam strike up a deal in which Christine has 2 weeks to prove to Adam that life is worth living. I thought it was amazing and really brave of Ahern to write about such a taboo subject.  I couldn't put it down, I thought the story itself was lovely and very moving and I loved it. 



My SOTW this week may seem a little bit strange but hear me out. Like Whoopi in Sister Act 2 my taste in music is completely eclectic, whilst I will admit to a passion for classic rock, particularly from the 80's and it is no secret that I love Bruce Springsteen more than I love... well anything. Anyway I have gone completely off point here, the point was I love music and in anticipation for Cilla (which starts on ITV on Monday, I can't wait!) I downloaded Anyone Who Had A Heart performed by the lady herself and I kinda love it. I already had the Dionne Warwick version on my iPod but Cilla's is surprisingly good. Being a 90's child I only knew Cilla Black as the red haired, Liverpudlian present of Blind Date but... she can sing! Who knew?! Mark my words I will be singing this loudly and proudly in the shower just as soon as my voice returns. 

So those were my loves for the week. I am off to bed for the rest of the day, probably the weekend, where I will be coughing and croaking until someone brings me tea. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! If you find some time and feel like cheering up a poorly girl, check me out on twitter, facebook, Bloglovin, instagram and pinterest and give me a cheeky like or follow ;)

L - R: Neutrogena Visibly Clear Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub, Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint in Chili, Soap & Glory Blush Brick in Love at First Blush, Rimmel London Wake Me Up Anti-fatigue Effect & Radiant Glow Concealer in the shade 040 Soft Beige & Garnier Skin Natural Pure Active Intensive Exfobrusher Spot Fighter.

Happy Friday! Hope everyone is looking forward to a fabulous weekend. I got some amazing news today, after a ball ache of an application and a lot of tense waiting I have been accepted on to an MA in English Literature. I am so excited. I can't wait to get back to uni. The next year is going to be a lot of hard work but it's going to be so fun and so worth it! Anyway now that that's out of the way let's get to the very serious business of Friday I'm in Love shall we?

Rimmel London Wake Me Up Anti-fatigue Effect & Radiant Glow Concealer in the shade 040 Soft Beige


Rimmel London Wake Me Up Anti-fatigue Effect & Radiant Glow Concealer in the shade 040 Soft Beige

This week my skin has been going through a rebellious phase, and by that I mean it's been nothing short of disgusting. I'm talking about one of the worst breakouts my face has experienced in a long time. And despite the near constant cleansing and exfoliating my skin only seems to be getting worse and worse. It's definitely a stress thing. Anyway this gives excellent coverage and really brightens up the sad, grey baggy area under my eyes.


Soap & Glory Blush Brick in Love at First Blush

I finally plucked up the courage to use this and despite the initial fear that I was going to ruin something so beautiful, I was so impressed. Whilst usually I'm not a fan of shimmer blushes this is beautiful. The colour is lovely, pearly and leaves my (admittedly chubby) cheeks with a pretty rosy glow.

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint in Chili

I bought this today and it is gorgeous. A new release from Barry M as part of their Autumn drop the colours just scream autumn. Chili is my favourite and is a lovely orange toned red that is literally the colour of autumn leaves. I also picked up the colour Chai which is a smokey grey, the colours are beautiful and I will be adding more to my collection soon. Not that it needs it.

Neutrogena Visibly Clear Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub


Neutrogena Visibly Clear Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub

Blackheads are the bane of my existence and sadly my skin is prone to the buggers. I bought this earlier in the week in a moment of desperation -I cannot stress how awful my skin is looking at the moment!- and it is marvellous. Whilst I wasn't expecting dramatic improvement it did definitely reduce the appearance of pores and made my skin feel really clean and fresh. 

Garnier Skin Natural Pure Active Intensive Exfobrusher Spot Fighter

Garnier Skin Natural Pure Active Intensive Exfobrusher Spot Fighter 

Garnier Skin Natural Pure Active Intensive Exfobrusher Spot Fighter

Another skin care product -it's bad guys!- that I've been trying out this week. I bought this because honestly it looked like it might be fun to use. The exfoliating nib is really soft but left my skin feeling fabulous and deep cleaned. I have used this everyday for the past week and whilst it doesn't do much for existing spots I think it's definitely prevented more break outs. 

My SOTW this week is Not the Only One by Sam Smith



For me Sam Smith has been something of a slow burn. When he first came onto the scene I thought he was a bit... meh. I could appreciate he was talented but not my cup of tea. And then stay with me happened, and it blew my mind with it's awesomeness. Then he did it again with not the only one. The song is heartbreakingly beautiful. I've had it on repeat for the last 3 days and I haven't tired of it yet. Not only is the song wonderful the music video is equally so. Starring Dianna Agron and Chris Messina, two of my favourite people, it tells the story of a housewife in the 50's stuck in a marriage with a man she adores who is routinely cheating on her. It's wonderful. I love both it and the song. 

So those were my loves for this week? What do you think? Agree? Disagree? What were your loves this week? Let me know on twitter using the hashtags #FridayIminLove #FIIL or by commenting below. If you do comment I do always reply, or try to anyway, so do check back. Also check me out on facebook, Bloglovin, instagram & pinterest for your daily fix of me.. if you need one that is.

I'll be playing catch up this weekend so keep an eye out for my August Favourites, Inside August's Birchbox and Inside My First Ever Glossy Box as they will be going up at some point. Until then...

Hi Guys,
              Happy Friday! This is the first Friday I'm in Love that I've done for a while but I have collected the all the things I've been loving for the past week and am ready to share them with you lovely people! 

L-R: Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in Hot Pepper, MAC Maleficent Eyeshadow Quad, Maybelline New York Color Tattoo 24hr Gel-Cream Eyeshadow  in 35 On & On Bronze, Kate Moss for Rimmel London Eyeshadow Stick in the shade 100 Rose Gold Scandaleyes 011 Bluffing by Rimmel London & L'Oreal Paris Miss Manga Mega Volume Mascara

 L-R: MAC Maleficent Eyeshadow Quad, Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in Hot Pepper, Scandaleyes 011 Bluffing by Rimmel London, L'Oreal Paris Miss Manga Mega Volume Mascara,  Kate Moss for Rimmel London Eyeshadow Stick 100 Rose Gold & Maybelline New York Color Tattoo 24hr Gel-Cream Eyeshadow  in 35 On & On Bronze.

L'Oreal Paris Miss Manga Mega Volume

L'Oreal Paris Miss Manga Mega Volume Mascara

This is my new favourite mascara ever. I bought this a couple of weeks back after months and months of wanting to try it. And man, oh man, it did not disappoint. It is, in a word, amazing! It gives excellent coverage. The formula is awesome, the brush is equally so and the combination of the two is... magical. It lengthens, volumises and curls the lashes, it's really long lasting AND most importantly it doesn't cost an absolute bomb. In love. Expect a full review of this soon.

Maleficent Eye Shadow Quad

MAC Maleficent Eyeshadow Quad - clockwise from top: Goldmine, Ground Brown, Carbon & Concrete

After seeing Maleficent last week (read about it here) I found out that to celebrate the release of the film MAC had released a collection dedicated to Disney's greatest -and scariest- villain. Obviously it being a MAC collection all the products had long since sold out but I had to get my hands on something from the collection. So with a determination I wish I could utilise in other areas of my life I got to clicking and found this. And it is beautiful. The packaging is so sleek and gorgeous and whilst the colours are not ones I would necessarily associate with Maleficent (brown... really?) they are colours I can see myself getting a lot of wear out of. I am obsessed with it.

I have been going through a bit of a bronze eyeshadow obsession at the moment and this is the bad boy that started all the trouble. It is gorgeous. The colour is intense and beautiful, it's long lasting, has a lovely creamy consistency and makes me want to cry with happiness whenever I look at it. Just... stunning.

Continuing along the same vein as the Maybelline New York Color Tattoo 24hr Gel-Cream Eyeshadow in the shade 35 On & On Bronze, I am totally loving these eyeshadow sticks from Rimmel. The colours are gorgeous. The formula is long lasting with a lovely creamy consistency. They are also ridiculously easy to apply and make smokey eyes a breeze. I can definitely see myself adding more of these to my collection.  

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in Hot Pepper

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in Hot Pepper


Modelling Hot Pepper for you! I’m also wearing L’Oreal True Match Foundation in Rose Vanilla, Rimmel London Match Perfection Concealer, MAC blush in Dame, Rimmel London Scandaleyes in 011 Bluffing, MAC eyeliner in Feline and L’Oreal Paris Miss Manga Volumising Mascara.

Despite being a massive lipstick fan I don't like to wear lipstick to work because it tends to get everywhere and I don't have time for touch ups. But this formula is so long lasting that I have no qualms wearing it to work.  I have spoken of my love of this formula before (read about it here .) It is fast becoming one of my favourite everyday reds. I also have the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in Pink Pong, Ole Flamingo & Grand Cru. I love them.

This feat of televisual genius has been keeping me up at nights. I am tired and grouchy during the day but I don't even care because Scandal is that good! In fact saying it is good almost feels like a insult. It is the best thing to happen to television since Hugh Laurie put on an american accent and starred in House (you guys know how much I love House!) and I do not say that lightly. There are so many amazing things about this show... the epic love story between Olivia and Fitz - I am Team Olitz all the way! - the writing is nothing short of incredible, it's gripping. But I will say the absolute best thing is the casting. Oh my God the casting! Don't even get me started on the casting, it is stellar! Kerry Washington is incredible as Olivia Pope. No one else could play her. Kerry Washington owns it! Both Olivia Pope and Kerry Washington are my new girlcrushes and Tony Goldwyn as President Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III is my new actual crush. If you haven't seen Scandal you need to change that... NOW! It's okay I'll wait, actually no I won't because 10 minutes in to the first episode you will get hooked and try to watch all 3 seasons in one sitting and I just don't have the time to wait around for you I'm afraid (sorry that was a weird moment). Anyway I am obsessed with Scandal!

This week's song of the week is Riptide by Vance Joy


I have been meaning to have this as my SOTW for ages because it is so good. The lyrics are a bit strange, as is the music video, but the melody is ridiculously upbeat, to me it just sounds like summer. 

So that was this week's Friday I'm in Love... I know it's been a while but I hope you enjoyed it. Have you tried any of my loves this week? If so what did you think? Love them? Hate them? Are you a Scandal addict? (I AM! I'm trying to make Scandal-avians happen, but like Fetch and Gretchen Weiners... it is not going to happen) Anyway I want to know. Let me know on twitter or by commenting below. If you do comment I try to always reply so do check back. Also check me out on facebook, BlogLovin, instagram & pinterest for your daily dose of me :)

Well Hello There! I can't even tell you how happy I am to see you Friday, where have you been all week? Well now that I have got that moment of madness out of the way how are you all? Hope everyone's had a fabulous week! I've been super busy this week - saw Guardians of the Galaxy and loved it! - and I am so ready for some R&R this weekend. So ready. But before I get down to the business of the world's longest lie in I thought I would share my loves for the week. You ready? Let's do this thing. 

The Real Techniques Base Shadow and Deluxe Crease Brushes from the Starter Set




 (The Base Shadow Brush - I could not get a decent picture of this brush for neither Love nor Money)

(The Deluxe Crease Brush - insert heart eyed emoji)

Some of you will know that I have been going through something of a Real Techniques obsession of late. The Starter Set is the most recent addition to my growing collection and I have to say I really like them. I have been using the Base Shadow Brush and the Deluxe Crease Brush everyday for the past week and they are so good. They are so soft and fluffy, the Deluxe Crease Brush in particular feels like I'm applying my eye shadow with a cloud. Now I am no stranger to a smokey eye but these brushes make it so easy. Obsessed. 

Benefits They're Real Push-Up Liner 





I reviewed this quite frankly awesome eyeliner on Monday (read it here) so I won't go into too much detail. I love it. It's long lasting, super easy to apply and in my opinion worth every penny of the eye watering prize tag. 

So that brings me to my SOTW and I have a few so... brace yourselves (bit creepy, sorry!)

I Don't Know Why I Love You by House of Love 


It would have been so, so much fun to come of age in the the early 90's. The music was awesome. This song is the most 90's thing to ever... 90's. I didn't really know how to finish that sentence.  I heard it in The To Do List - which is an awesome and incredibly underrated film - and I was immediately hooked. I heard it and then scoured the internet trying to find out what it was. I really love moody 90's music and this definitely fits the bill. 

Only Love Can Hurt Like This by Paloma Faith 




Oh Paloma... I wouldn't really describe myself as a fan of Paloma's but every now and then she brings out a song and I realise that actually I kind of worship her. Girl can sing. This is my current Paloma obsession. I've said it before and I'll say it again I'm a hopeless romantic (read about it here, here and here) and hopeless romantics, like myself, love nothing more than unrequited or doomed love and this song just smacks of it. I'm also obsessed with the music video, Paloma (yeah we're on a first name basis) looks stunning - I love the 40's vintage fashion. Beautiful. It's a gorgeous, gorgeous song.

Speaking of gorgeous songs another favourite of mine is Gun Shot by Lykke Li



Oh this song. This song gives me all the feels. All of them. I love Lykke Li, her songs are so... scandinavian. Which makes sense given that Lykke Li is Swedish. They're quite dark and moody but they are amazing. This is currently my favourite of hers but I also love No One Ever Loved and Possibility. I love her. 

So those were my loves this week. What did you think? Agree? Disagree? I only just realised they were both eye products. Duh. Anyway let me know by comment below or on twitter using the hashtags #FridayIminLove or #FIIL. Also I've talked quite a bit about music this week. So if you want to share your music faves use the hashtag #LolaRocks. If you do comment I do always reply so do check back. 

Sorry it's so late tonight. We've had some lightning round these parts and it's knackered up my wifi. Still better late than never. I will (hopefully) be getting some posts up over the weekend, my July Favourites and a Pay Day Haul post from a little spending spree I had last weekend. But if you can't wait till then check me out on twitter, facebook, BlogLovin, instagram & pinterest for your daily fix of Lolarocknroses.

Just a quick one tonight I'm afraid  because I'm actually off out in a little while - I know, I know I have friends and plans on a Friday night! Who knew?! :) - I'm just popping out for a couple of drinks with some friends I haven't seen in a while. We always have such a laugh when we're together, so I'm really excited. But before I get my glad rags on there is the rather important matter of Friday I'm in Love #7. It's gonna be short and sweet though as I'm in a rush and am the least organised person ever so it didn't occur to me to plan ahead this week. So please bear that in mind :) 

I only have the one love this week and that is the Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick in the shade 360 As You Want Victoria




It's moisturising, long lasting and the colour is an absolutely gorgeous blue toned fuchsia pink, which is not dissimilar to MAC's Girl About Town (which is something of a favourite of mine), except it's glossy. This lipstick has been on my wishlist for some time now and I saw it in Sainsburys last week on special offer and snapped it up before you could say 'Lauren you don't need another lipstick!' I love it.


My SOTW this week is Robbers by The 1975.

I didn't know it was actually possible for a person to be in love with a song! But it is, alas, I think I have finally found the one and it is this gorgeous, beautiful, moody and wistful song. I love how music moves people and resonates with people even if they're not sure why at the time. This song is the reason I love music so much.  This song does that. It is stunning. I have listened to it on repeat for the past week and I actually think it's perfect. It is so beautiful.

Sorry for the short post tonight but I've got to get a wiggle on to get out. I will (hopefully) be getting some posts up over the weekend but if not I will be back on Monday.

Until then let me know what you thought using the hashtags #FridayIminLove or #FIIL and check out my twitter, facebook, BlogLovin, instagram and pinterest

Have a fantastic weekend!

IT'S FINALLY FRIDAY! Is it just me or has this week really dragged? Anyway it's Friday, and I adore Fridays for 2 reasons. 1. DUH it's Friday and that means it's the weekend! and 2. I get paid weekly so Friday = Payday! Winner!

Due to my absence -I'll stop mentioning it now, I promise!- I have loads of loves this week. So many in fact that I'm not sure I can squeeze it all into just the one post but hey ho I'll give it a try. 

L'Oreal Paris True Match Foundation in Vanilla Rose




Rumour has it that the L'Oreal Paris True Match foundation is a dupe for the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation. Now I haven't tried it so I don't know if that's true or not, but I can tell you that this is my absolute favourite foundation, and the reason it's my favourite is because it's amazing. It's really lightweight and blends so easily but gives really good coverage which can be built up. The colour perfectly matches my skin tone and leaves a flawless finish. I love it 

Rimmel Match Perfect Concealer in Soft Beige 




I was in dire need of a new concealer and had heard some good things about Rimmel's Match Perfection so I thought I'd give it a try. It's yellow toned so reduces the appearance of redness making it excellent for spots which is something I suffer with from time to time. The coverage is really good and it comes in a squeezy tube with a brush tip which I kind of love but don't really use, preferring to dot the concealer onto the skin and then blending it out with my Real Techniques setting brush. I like it a lot. 

MAC Creme Amplified Lipstick in Girl About Town 




I bought this 13 days ago and in  the last week alone have mentioned it no fewer than 3 times, because it is that amazing! If you want to know more on my thoughts about this lipstick read about it here and here. But all you really need to know is that I am obsessively in love with it. 


Sleek Face Form Contouring & Blush Palette in Fair





(Sorry the swatch picture is a bit naff)

In the past few weeks I have been taking my first tentative steps into contouring using this pallet and the Real Techniques contouring brush (I'm a bit obsessed!) and have somehow managed, by some miraculous twist of fate, to not go out looking like, well like this...


(How hilarious is this picture?! Picture via funnygirlconfessions.wordpress.com)

The pallet contains a contour powder, a highlighter and a blush. I was a bit wary at first because the actual contour powder is quite orangey in tone but after a lot of practice and blending it actually works quite well. The highlighter is a bit too shimmery for my taste but I really like the blush. It's a really pretty shimmery gold toned pink that looks lovely on the skin and really warms up the complexion. I still find contouring quite scary and am scared that one day I will go massively overboard and will end up looking ridiculous but this pallet makes it a lot easier and I like it a lot.

Real Techniques Brushes 


(From left to right: Contour, Blush, Buffing, Setting, Pointed Foundation & Concealer)

Ahh the Real Techniques Brushes aka my new obsession. I've been building up my collection over the past couple of weeks (I bought the Stippling brush on amazon not two hours ago) and I have to say I am very impressed. My personal favourite is this bad boy (read about it here)

(the Buffing Brush)

But I have been using them all on a daily basis. I've been using the contour brush with the Sleek Face Form pallet to define my (non-existent) cheek bones and it is awesome. The setting brush has been used in conjunction with the concealer brush to buff in my concealer and they both give really good coverage for those pesky blemishes that I just can't rid myself of. Overall they are  really good brushes. They're synthetic so they don't soak up too much product and they are so ridiculously soft it feels like I'm applying my make up with a kitten! Which I admit is an incredibly strange thing to say but I think I've made my point. They're amazing. Before this my make up brush collection consisted of a Bobbi Brown set and a Ted Baker set I got over two Christmases ago. Don't get me wrong I still love them BUT they are a bit on the knackered side so it makes a nice change to be using the Real Techniques brushes. 


Wax Lyrical England Highly Scented Tealights and Candle in the scent Couture.






Firstly Wax Lyrical has to be the best name for a candle company ever! Secondly they smell incredible. I bought the tealights in Tesco a couple of weeks ago and went through them in like a week, so I just had to go back for the candle. Couture is my favourite because it smells amazing. It makes my room smell absolutely gorgeous without being overpowering. I always find it so difficult to describe scent but this kinda smells like vanilla and baby lotion - in a good way, it smells incredible!- mixed with fresh washing. The overall fragrance is divine. Plus the packaging is gorgeous!

And now for my SOTW: 


My First Song of the Week this week is High Hopes by Kodaline.

   


To say I am obsessed with this song is a major understatement. I don't know where I was or what I was doing when Kodaline were becoming a thing last year but I am so glad I have found them now. This song is so moody and sad (which is my favourite kind of song) and I just love it. It's awesome. I have downloaded their album and I have to say I am rather enjoying it. 

My Second Song of the Week is Broken by Jake Bugg. 

                              
Until recently I didn't really get Jake Bugg. I didn't like him, I didn't dislike him just thought he was alright but not someone I would go out of my way to listen too. And then I saw The Fault in Our Stars (read my review here)and heard the song Simple As This  and loved it, then me and my best friend were talking about music, as we so often do, and she played Broken for me. And DAMN that boy can make some beautiful music. His voice is so sultry and smokey and moody. I have listened to this song more times than itunes can count which should tell you everything you need to know. It's so good. 

This was just the tip of the music iceberg, in the past few weeks I have listened to (and loved) loads of music. So much in fact that it's been really difficult to limit myself to just 2 Songs of the Week! So with that in mind I was wondering if anyone would be interested in reading a music post? Let me know below or on twitter using the hashtag #LolaRocks! 

So those were my loves for the week? What do you think? Agree? Disagree? Let me know via twitter, using the hashtags #FIIL or #FridayIminLove. I am also on facebook, BlogLovin, instagram & pinterest if you fancy checking me out and giving me a cheeky like/follow ;)

Right lovely people I will be back on Monday with a new post all about my very mixed feelings about the season finale of How I met your Mother. Until then I hope everyone has a lovely weekend.
