Shop Zoella

As of late, it has become increasingly clear i have a lot of things i just do not use. Clothes and makeup mainly and the odd accessory/electrical item. I do love having a good Blogsale but there is so much hassle involved with a massive list of items for sale on one post, i find it can get a bit much scrolling through 50+ comments to see who got what.

So for this reason, i have decided to create my very own blog shop. Don't be fooled into thinking it's going to be an all singing, all dancing proper shopping website, it has all the same elements of this blog, but im hoping it will be so much easier to maintain and sort through. Also giving you all the option of searching for something you might want. Have no fear, it shall be very straight forward, i don't do complicated. I could have chucked it all on Ebay, but i like to give my blog readers a chance to grab it first, and Ebay is the devil for selling - I dont want to pay for more than one detailed photo thankyou very much.

The same rules will apply when asking to buy an item, just simply state your paypal email and your country. Which also brings me on to say it is Interntational :)

The posts will just be in MUCH smaller batches rather than the typical 20+ items, so makes life easier for the both of us in the long run.

Click the Shop Header Below to take you to the website, or the widget to the right (which some of you have already spotted, and for that, i praise you for being alert, loyal bloggers) Please go and follow & give the info a quick read before i start putting items up for sale.



There will definitely be something for everyone, i have way too much stuff which you need to take off my hands.

I would really appreciate if you could spread the word about the shop, obviously not all of you are always interested in my blogsales but it's worth a follow just to keep updated with any new items.

Thankyou fellow bloggies.

July Favourites.

These are a selection of my most used/favourite products in July!

Botanics Soothing Eye Makeup Remover

I have always wanted to try this, and when my Johnsons eye makeup remover proved to be a tad poopy, and botanics range was buy on get one half price, i decided to buy some.
This stuff is AWESOME.
It removes everything so effortlessly, doesn't irritate my eyes and lasts for ages.
I've been using this about for 3 weeks and it still looks like i've used nothing.
It was only £2.93 in Boots & i will be buying more when i run out.
A nice cheap subsitute for my favourite Lancome eye makeup remover :)

Barry M Lip Gloss - Number 4 - Pastel Pink

These gloss wands are super pigmented. I am very impressed with them.
I also LOVE the smell, it reminds me of strawberry flavour yoghurt. yuumm.
I have been wearing this alot without lipstick underneath (as personally i dont think you need it with this gloss)
It's not too sticky & lasts a decent amount of time too.
Well done Barry M, they are FAB!

Bed Head Tigi Superstar Volume Serum

I have had my eye on this for a while, and bought it last month for around £8 in a House of Fraser outlet. I love a serum that promises volume boost, anything with "Volume" i will most likely purchase.
You really don't need alot of this to notice results.
Again, i have been using this everytime i've washed my hair over the last 5-6 weeks and the bottle still looks as full as the day i purchased it.
It makes the hair bouncy, soft and easy to style.
The consistency is very runny, it's more of an oil than a cream or serum really.
I apply it to the roots of my hair and on the crown of my head when wet, blowdry and voilaa.
If you are a "volume junky" then i suggest you look into this little gem.
The bottle looks pretty on my dressing table too :)
I'm deffo going to check out more in the "Superstar" range.

Mac Daft Pink Blush

I bought this a few weeks ago from the Colour Craft collection & have been wearing it on an almost daily basis.
At first i was like...hmm..theres no way i can wear all this shimmer on the apples of my cheeks.
But do you know what?
I have been. haha
Obviously with matte everything else though.
It gives a gorgeous glowy effect and im seriously loving it.

Loreal Voluminous Mascara

Before a month ago, i had never been able to find this mascara.
Hearing everyone rave about it, i really wanted to give it a go.
I did however, magically manage to find it in a superdrug near me and obviously bought it.
(I have heard they are bringing it back? maybe that's why it was surprisingly easy to find it this time? enlighten me someone...haha)
Anyway, i really love the effect this mascara has. I now know why everyone raved about it.
The quality of this mascara is almost equal to many high end branded ones.
Although, i can't say it's overtaken my love for Hypnose...just been a fab cheap replacement.
Thumbs up for Voluminous!

FOTN & The Night.

Last night was my gorgeous maties birthday bash. We call him "Mouse" but he's actually called Alex.

He turned 19, & my other friendlings organised for a secret limo to pick him up outside his house & then went on to Bath for drinky poo's.

I had a MAJOR panick about what to wear. I don't think i've ever been so bad. Numerous outfits are now strewn across my bedroom floor in an attempt to find something nice...you all know what i mean! ;)
Even with the fullest of wardrobes like mine...it's always a struggle to pull an outfit together.

Anyway, this is what i finally settled on...

LUSH Imperialis moisturizer
Mac Strobe liquid mixed with Mac Studio Sculpt foundation in nw20
GOSH touch up concealer in no2 (under eyes)
Mac select cover up in nw20 on blemishes

Mac MSF's in Triple Fusion & So Ceylon



♥ Eyes
Udpp all over lid as base
Body Shop Shimmer cubes - from smokey palette - the white colour :)

♥ Lips
If you follow me on twitter (& if you don't then shame on you & follow me nooow ZozeeBo) you'll know i asked whether or not to go with my usual nude lip..or go for something different and go for a brighter colour.
& all of you said bright...so voilaa.

When I set out to buy one thing...

...I always end up buying something else. Isn't that always the way though?

I actually went into town to purchase the new sims game (I know, i know..i'm 19 years old, why do i want that?) haha well if you must know i love it & i have always been a fan ever since the first sims came on the scene 10 years ago. The good old days of "Hot date" and "Vacation"..Me and my friend would spend hours creating characters that looked like us and then running and ruining theirs lives as we pleased. Who doesn't like playing god?

BTW..for those of you who share this obsession, i highly reccommend Sims3. I'm not here to do a full blown review don't panick, but it's so much fun & hours simply fly by. It can get a bit addictive so i would suggest you set aside some sims time. :D

Anyway, I bought the Sims3 game and then thought "right, well..i'll be off then" but i still had time to spare as my boyfriends brother had driven me in and he was off doing his own thing. So obviously i strolled into a few shops. Here are my purchases..

I managed to find a glamour mag. I looked in most shops and they didn't have any. But M&S had a lovely supply. This month Glamour gave us all a treat and threw in a Benefit BADgal mascara. (Many people's HG mascara) If any of you hadn't already noticed this i suggest you run out a grab one while they're still around.


I then bought "Well Dressed" blush from Mac as i'd heard alot of good feedback from other makeup junkies. I had swatched this a few times beforehand and thought it was gorgeous. It's a very pretty baby pink, and brightens my complexion nicely :)

In Mac, i also purchased "Hue" lipstick. This is a gorgeous nude and i'm so surprised i didn't already own this because i am loving it, and it should be a staple in any Nude-Fan's collection.
I also purchased the Barry M lip paint in 53, a gorgeous coral. The colour does seem quite scary but it actually comes out a very pretty sheer colour.


In Superdrug GOSH is currently 3 for 2 and i took up on this offer as my mum has asked me to pick up a concealer for her, so i bought the eyeshadow base (Pictured in first pic). Which is gorgeous white with blue iridescence. I have yet to test it for its staying/non creasing power. I also picked up this "Light N Shine lip glaze" in NO5. I picked this up because i was going to buy the Mac Dassleglass in Fantabulous as it was a gorgeous purple with blue specks, but this..being ALOT cheaper and having a similar appeal grabbed my attention. I LOVE IT. It's my new favourite lipgloss. It's not overly cheap at around £8-9 but it's alot cheaper than the dazzleglasses, plus this comes with a cute mirror on the side and lights for applying gloss in dark places.. :)


Some rather rubbish swatches.. (Sorry girlies...The snazzy camera is not so good at focusing on closeups in artificial light..think this shot took about 20 attempts)[Top to Bottom: GOSH Light N Shine in NO.5 (does not do it justice AT ALL), Mac Hue, Barry M Lip paint in NO.53, GOSH Eye base - no name, just black tube)

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend..I'm off to play the Sims now..ha

The Barry M V.I.P Event.

I'm not really expecting many of you to read this as i think i'm the last one to talk about it and you will most probably be bored with hearing it again but i'm going to anyway for those of you who may not have. (Although i'm guessing it's highly unlikely)

So as you may have all already seen (as i'm late with this post due to lack of camera equipment) around 30-40 youtubers and bloggers were invited to an exclusive V.I.P event in London, Soho. Initially it was all a surprise and nobody had any idea what was going to happen there. The venue was very well decked out in everything glam and camp. Balloons, Jars of sweets, Cocktail glasses with Dazzle Dusts in them, Amazing fairycakes and men with far better legs than me...sob..

The Event...

[Photos Courtesy of the lovely Ling (Moonbeamstarlight), Suzi (Suzit86) & Sirvinya]

We all got to meet Barry M himself and he is such a sweet old man, he gave us a little speach about the growth of Barry M.
After that they explained about the launch of the M club. Which is a concept which will enable us to easily communicate and share all our makeup knowledge in one place. It will be combining twitter, youtube, blogs etc. It's such a fab idea and everyone at the event will be able to set it up soon. For everyone else i think it will available from mid-july. I really haven't explained it very well, Lollipop26 (Laura) explained it amazingly as she'd recorded a little vid for us to watch. After this we all got to preview the new Barry M advert, which aired the following day (Thursday at around 6.43 - In the hollyoaks break) I have seen it a couple of times since then too. I think it's fab. What do you reckon?

Overall it was such a fantastic day, I must admit i was SO nervous to be meeting everyone as i'm initially quite a shy person but once you get talking to me i'm fine, but i had so much fun and felt completely at ease as everyone was so lovely. We were all there because of the same love of makeup and it just helped everyone gel together. I just wish there was more time as even though it was 3 hours, it went SO quickly and there just wasn't enough time to have a quality chat with everybody, which i'm sad i never managed to do!

So thankyou girlies for making it such an enjoyable afternoon, it was so lovely to meet you all & thankyou so much to Barry M for hosting such a fab event.

The Goody Bag...

Before we left we were handed this goody bag...can you imagine 30(ish) people travelling in convoy to covent garden with these..yes it turned a few heads. :)

[These are swatches of the 2 lipsticks i didn't already own - Can you tell the difference? The top is Cerise Pink and the bottom is Punky Pink. They come out almost identical.]

[The Dazzle Dusts - From Left to Right - 24, Toffee - 98, Petrol Black - 22, Black Gold - 96, Gold - 97, Dark Chocolate]
My favourites are Tofee, Petrol Black and Gold. GORGEOUS colours. If you look in the whol goody bag photo, you will see another dazzle dust with a pink lid. This was our V.I.P exclusive dazzle dust created for everyone at the event. There were 2 colours. A baby blue and baby purple. I got the blue one, although i haven't swatched it as i'm going to keep it as a collectable type thing :)

[Above = Flash - Below = No flash]

I was overwhelmed by the generosity of these goody bags. It certainly gave Me & Lydia

something to look at on train journey home (Lydia..did that lipstick come out of your top? lol)

And here is a geeky photo of me wearing the Barry M T-Shirt...love it!!
[Excuse the lack of makeup and overly contoured cheekbone...i was experimenting lol]

So as you can see we were all really lucky and were given some fab freebies. I can't wait to try it all out and review some of it. If there is anything in particular you would like a full review on, please let me know and i'll be happy to do it for you.

Check out my next post for a teeny pre-event haul (I arrived an hour early so had some time to spare...oops) & a few other things i picked up in the last week or so :)

Much love lovelies

New Barry M Lip Paint Collection.

I was lucky enough to be sent 2 of the 4 new pink shades that Barry M will be launching mid June.

The lip paints are SO popular, and I'm so glad the company have picked up on this and decided to launch this new pink collection, as they all look so pretty, and as we know from all the Spring/Summer makeup collections from other brands, pink is very much in.

Yay, who doesn't love a classic pink lip?

The two shades i have are Dolly Pink - Top Photo on the left (146) and Peachy Pink- On the Right (147)

the other shades that will be available are Cerise Pink (144 - Far Left in above photo) and Punky Pink (145 - Second from the left)

I am loving the creamy-ness of these lipsticks, unlike the 101 (which is quite drying but SO bearable considering the finish and the price) these are much like the famous Lavendar 129 and have a lovely creamy consistency.

When i first opened Dolly Pink i was expecting something alot less bright, but i am going gaga over this colour. As alot of you will know, one of my favourite lipsticks is Mac's Show Orchid, the shade was made famous by the likes of Cheryl Cole, and this colour reminded me of that straight away. Although i actually think this colour is alot more wearable as it is a little less vibrant and at £4.25 why wouldn't you?

[Dolly Pink]

Peachy Pink is definately my favourite. I haven't actually seen a colour like this one before, so a round of applause for Barry M for coming up with this one. Again, it's got a really nice consistency and the gorgeous coral colour will fit right in with the trend this summer. Would look fab with bronzed skin, or neutral to pale. I really can't imagine this not suiting anyone!

[Peachy Pink]

I hope this has got your tongues wagging? If you are as much as a Barry M fan as me then i'm sure it will have. I can't wait until mid June for when i can get my hands on the other two.

Like all Barry M products you will able to purchase these in Boots, Superdrug and online at http://www.barrym.com/ for £4.25

and for those of you in the US, i feel your pain...and hopefully you will be able to get your hands on these through swaps!

Spending the pennnies...

Sorry this is a tad late as i actually bought these last thursday.

:O

First i popped into Mac, I was completely unaware the SugarSweet collection had launched that day and was pleasantly surprised it was there.

Here's what I spent my pennies on...

Perfect Topping MSF

I really like this MSF. I am always drawn towards more pinky colours (Hence why i picked up this one rather than Refined (which by the way i have orderd as i regret not picking it up in the shop..dum dum dummm...)) The Gold and purple veining in this is gorrrgeous, and looks great as a highlight. I am pale-ish...I'm an Nw20 in the winter so i think i can pull off both MSF'S quite well but i would say that this one is foolproof.

Lollipop Loving LippyThis Lipstick is a coraly/pink with green reflex in it (Can't actually see this in the photo..bum). I bought this as i thought it was a similar colour to Neo Sci fi's Pleasureseeker and i love that colour. I was also attracted/interested by the Green reflex. This look really nice on, and it's subtle..don't worry your lips don't look green when you turn certain angles. I know alot of people were dissapointed by this which may have been because so many people hyped about it, they may have had higher expectations...me nono. But what i do know..is i love it :DThen i popped into superdrug and couldn't resist the 3 Dazzle Dusts for £9.9(5 or 9...don't shoot me for missing a few pence)

The top shade is 03 - pink/gold - This is So pretty, I wouldn't really say it's gold, I think it's pink with a coral undertone and peachy reflex.

Middle Shade is 51 - Mushroom - I looove this one. I can't believe i never spotted this before. It's the colour of Moth wing dust but obviously much prettier. Perfect for a neutral eye.

Bottom shade is a fine glitter dust in 23 - This is a black with very fine purple reflex. This would look amazing on a night out ontop of a smokey eye. The camera doesn't quite do it justice as it really is pretty.

Nice little haul for you there.

One other thing...which is completely non-related...but...why do boys give up making you feel special after a certain amount of time? Do they need recharging or something? It frustrates me SO much.

I thought guys were supposed to make girls feel like princess's everyday?

:(

Saturday Shopping.

Yikes..I went shopping again. Almost all from Boots or superdrug though so it's not too bad.

♥

First, I went into Mac and got the pink fish lip conditioner. I like this, although i did think it would be a bit more "conditioning". Then in Superdrug whilst i was purchasing items for my lucky charm swap, i also picked up the 101 lipstick and a dazzle dust in 88 (Wild berry). In Barry M at the mo, it's buy any 2 items and get an eye kohl free..so as i bought 4 barry m items (including my dd's for the swap) i got 2 free pencils, one in grey and one in white.

♥

Everything in the neutrogena visibly clear range is by 2 for £5 so i picked up this face wash/mask as i'd previously seen lollipop26 talk about it and wanted to try it out. I also picked up a moisturiser for my boyfriend, but that isn't very exciting. I get him good gifts (?!) Then everything in the AUSSIE range was buy 2 for £6 so i got curl definition serum and a deep conditioning treatment. The treatment smells vile...I hope it works.

♥

This was the most exciting. Everything in the soap & glory range was reduced by as much as £5 on some items! So as u can see, i took advantage slightly? Top left is a body scrub..this smells SO nice, i can't quite put my finger on the smell, Fruity..kindof.. but nice none the less. :) Second is a body butter, I think my mum is going to steal this as she loved it so much. This is my favourite smell of all the items. It smells fresh. Theeennn i got a facial scrub (I know..another one?) I can't help it, i just want to try everything.

The two things at the front are an underye concealer (I'm ALWAYS trying these, and i had no idea soap and glory did one?) and a motherpucker lipgloss set which was reduced by £5 and there was one left. It was practically screaming at me. I'm so glad i bought these, i had forgotten how amazing they were. My mum had one years ago and i stole it (and lost it..oops) They taste like chocolate and i put some on my lips about 3 hours ago...and its still going strong,even through munching and drinking. Look at the packaging...It's worth buying just for that!

From Top to bottom: Half Naked, Baby Doll, Plum Juice.

From Lef to Right: Plum Juice, Baby Doll, Half Naked.

♥

O.P.I

Almost forgot, my O.P.I (Sally's) purchases.

From Left to Right: "I'm Indi-a mood for love", "Feelin' Hot-hot-hot!", "Aphrodite's pink nightie", "Done out in Deco" and a boring old black. :)

I will post colour swatches when i apply each colour to my nails, apart from the black, because we all know what that looks like.

Let me know if you want any reviews guys.
