It's been too long....

I've been absent throughout March which was sort of planned. 28 kisses and posting every day in February wore me out....especially when a school inspection was heaped on top.

So I decided March would be my month of pottering about. I missed blogging but at the same time, I had a very productive month!

More beauty posts in the very near future!

In the mean time....here's March in pictures!

Wrist tattoo....

I love love love the look of tattoos...but have never been brave enough to go for one myself.

I also know that I'm very fickle and change my mind all the time, so to choose to put a permanent mark on me seems a little foolish if in 6 months, I'll change my mind about it.

Then I saw a post on a blog about http://www.faketattoos.se/en/. I cannot for the life of me find the post, so sorry! But it did make me purchase from the above website.

There's a great range of tattoos for body, nails and a design your own feature which looks really exciting.

I ordered the following tattoos...

A bird theme is emerging....they're my latest fad!

I applied the bird in the tree to my wrist. It was really easy to do, I peeled off the protective backing, stuck it onto my skin and pressed a damp sponge over the top for around 30 seconds. Easy as that!

Delivery was really quick and the total of my tattoos was £6.

I was really impressed with the look of these and just wondered how long they'd last.

I would say, these are probably better for one night or maybe in an area that doesn't get as much wear and tear as the wrist. The day after I'd applied these, after working on my laptop all day, the colour had bled. The bird still looked fine but the blossoms on the left had blurred somewhat to become smudged looking.

28 Kisses is a beauty tag organised by Nykki at Nykki Talks Beauty in celebration of Valentine's Day.

The full information can be found on her blog but the basic idea is that you take a photo a day throughout February of your lipstick, and post it on your blog.

The last lipstick in the mini quad is being worn today - Cranberry Cream. These Clinique Butter Shine Lipsticks are amazing, I adore them! This is the brightest of the four I've tried so far.

Love, love, love!

Here's the list of the ladies taking part in the tag, taken from Nykki's blog.
