ITS ALMOST READY!

So sorry for the lack of posts lately. As you know i have been busy revamping hellcandy & I think I am almost there! Just a few final tweaks but I think I can safely say the new site will be up and running this week.

Please bear with me whilst I finish my tweaks & pull out the rest of my hair sorting out some painstakingly annoying webby tech stuff...am frikking hopeless at it!

Will be back blogging very soon!

NEW BLOG COMING SOON!

If you're a regular reader of my blog you would have noticed that I haven't been posting as frequently.

Reason being is that I have been working on a new design and layout for Hellcandy! 
I've tried to keep both going at the same time but it's proved to not be as easy as I had hoped.

Any how! I am almost ready to unveil it so please bear with me as I tackle infuriating issues such as web programming and design, both of which I am not very good at. Hooray for Google!

It's my birthday tomorrow so depending on how the celebrations go, I hope to have the new blog ready for you by early next week.

I have lots of products to tell you about as well as introducing you to new areas of Hellcandy!

Thanks to everyone for reading my humble little blog. It's SO SO lovely to hear from you all, especially those from far off magical countries!

Speak soon and wish me luck with the revamp. I don't think I can bear my webby/design issues :P x

SEPHORA ROLLERBALL FRAGRANCE LOVE!

I really don't get why we don't have these rollerball fragrances here in the UK. Not keen to lug around a full bottle, I've lost track of the times I've had one of those mini parfum bottles relieve itself all over my bag *sigh*

See...this makes complete and utter sense to me:

 
US readers, you can get this from Sephora for $65 :) Think it's an utterly fab way of getting yourself acqainted with new scents.

Next time I'm in a Sephora I'm going to pick myself up a Marc Jacobs Daisy one *nods*  

Perfect for accident prone folk like me :)

NOTD: REVLON "VIXEN"

So I know these shades are fashionably speaking meant for A/W but blah...whilst it may not be the in shade of yellow, I'm really rather liking a bit of vampy varnish *nods*

Revlon's Vixen is a beautiful shade, although be prepared to apply four coats for a decent opaque finish, plus the brush was a bit streaky on this one. Still, a lovely glossy gothic red...
