Technological Thursday | Mobile Phone / Gadget Handbag Essential

Hello There!

So today I hope to solve the ever-present problem of batteries dying - phones/ipods/tablets, the same problem is present in all technological gadgets. And if there's one thing that I excel above all others is - it's forgetting to charge my gadgets. 

This was the greatest invention ever made - seriously. I would be nowhere without it. 

So basically, you use the same charger as you would normally to charge your phone/tablet and attach it to the portable charger. When the light goes blue over FULL, chuck it in your handbag. It holds a full battery for my phone and so I never need to be without charge. 

It's especially good if you're going on a long journey and need that extra boost to make your charge last all day.

The beauty of android is that they use the same charging port on all their devices. So I can use this on my phone and my Google Nexus tablet. In fact, any android device that takes my fancy :)

Available from amazon.co.uk, ebay.co.uk   

And, if you don't have any Android devices there are also alternatives that do exactly the same thing for:

Blackberry, depending on device (Available from amazon.co.uk, ebay.co.uk)
&
Apple, all devices (Available from amazon.co.uk, ebay.co.uk)

And they're amazing value - just £4-7, absolute bargains!

Are you part of the 'I-never-have-any-charge' elite? 
I definitely should have the record for never having charge!!!

Ciao for now, G x

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara

Hello There!

Today I'm talking about a lovely little find - Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara. 
Ok, so as you can probably guess it's specifically designed just for bottom lashes. But it has the price tag of a normal mascara that can do both the top and bottom lashes... 
So why buy it?

Well the brush is way smaller - I know that's obvious, but it really makes a difference. You can literally reach every eyelash, something which a normal-sized brush doesn't do to the same extent. And there's 0% chance of it clumping.

Another plus - it gives you 'spider-eyes' as I like to call them 

(where bottom lashes are nearly the same length as top lashes). 

I know that sounds like a bad look, but it's in a really subtle but 

eye-opening way so it's a good look. 

The best feature of this mascara is it's 'non-dropping'/'non-flaking' feature if you get what I mean. Applying normal mascaras to bottom lashes can lead to flakes of mascara dropping onto your under-eye/cheeks during the day. 

With the bottom lash mascara, it's no longer a problem, YAY!

It's also so much easier to use than trying to use a normal size brush on your lower lashes, so if you haven't tried it - give it a go!

(Brush Sizes)

I bought this in the colour 01-Black, and it is now a must-have for my make-up collection and I never fail to have it in my handbag 

(it's the perfect size!)

I use it along with Dolce & Gabbana's Secret Eyes Mascara (review here) for my everyday look.

What do you think of the Clinique make-up range?

Nailed Polish by Sleek | Quick Drying

Hello There!

So today I'm talking about an impressive new addition to my nail polish collection: 
Nailed Polish by Sleek

I wanted to try out some more of Seek's products and thought that a nail polish was a good way to start. The first thing that I saw on this was - Quick Drying. I thought 'Ha, as if!'
So I bought it so I could laugh at the bottle... (sad, I know)

I decided on the colour Crimson because, you know, you can never have enough glittery red nail polishes. I bought it and I prepared myself to have a good laugh.

And I was sooo disappointed that I couldn't mock this nail polish :(

(I really tried)

I know that sounds strange, but I honestly couldn't fault it. It dried quickly - like super-quickly (hard dry, not touch dry). And the polish is really pigmented so it literally only takes one layer to get a polished look. Yay!

Ok, no it's not the longest lasting nail polish that I've used, but that's not what it's designed to be, and if you're looking for a real quick fix to add colour to an outfit if you're going out, this is a good choice.

So, for once I have actually been impressed by a so-called 'Quick Drying' nail polish. I've tried so many different quick-drying polishes, but this is the first one to make it onto my blog (so that's saying something!)

There's not that much else I can add to this post except - if you want a nail polish that does what it says on the tin (or label), then this is a great one to get :)

Have you been really impressed by a specialised nail polish recently?
