Recent Events

So..

I'm still waiting to be able to take my Clomid I have been prescribed by my Gynecologist.
Its a long and scary road to what might not happen and I'm FREAKING out!! 
The thing that scares me the most is not knowing what the future will bring and if Jason and I are going to be able to have our little mini addition to our family, and if it will,

My biggest question is...
WHEN?

And will my body even be able to accommodate a baby seeming the things that are wrong with me, I just afraid  I will not be able to have a child and these negative thought are not exactly increasing my chances but yet I can't stop the feeling or my fucked up thoughts (excuse the language guys).

I'm at the point in my life where the trying part is no longer "fun" and the waiting part is horrible.. And again when will the waiting end???

I just hope that good news will come my way soon!!

Me


So..

I thought I'd add a quick selfie of myself in my bathroom,
 And I have just noticed I'm not wearing any lipstick or lip gloss and they look tiny haha
Oops, Oh well, Shit happens.

P.S I love this candy cane Border =D





❤ Essie Love ❤

Ok..

As you know if you read my blog, I bought my first Essie nail polish,
and I have been wearing it for the past 3days and it is lasting well to not one chip yet! And it is so damn pretty, I think I will be buying all the colours I like out of their range! 
I have become addicted to them that's for sure.
I do like how if you put one layer on you can have this gorgeous light pink tone to your nails and leave it at that for work or in some cases school and it's barely noticeable unless someone holds your hand to actually look.
Or you can apply two coats to get the effect I have in the photo below I love this colour 
I can not wait till Pink diamond, Madison Ave-Hue & Mint Candy Apple come in the mail!!

And of course I had to break a nail just before I went to pain them the other day so my nails aren't even =(
Sadly I now have to take the nail polish off for work, seeming I work with food =(


Sorry about the shitty Photo I'm using my iPhone 5, Don't worry though I'm getting my new one soon =)

If you have any suggestions on other colours from the Essie range I should try or any other brands I should give a go please feel free to leave a comment below..


And thanks for reading

I will write a review once I have used them at least half way




Everyday Full Face Product's

So..

Today I am going to do a little review on the make-up products I use every day I have not included lips because I don't use lipstick much unless going to the clubs or out to tea or special occasions I do use lip glosses a lot though but WAY too many to do a review on with all this as well, I'll leave that for another day.

Well lets get straight to it then, 

Face Products .



Starting from the Left is, 

Covergirl 'Professional Loose Powder' 
In the colour 115 translucent medium.
Its not too powdery and helps with oily skin or just simply makes your liquid foundation have a more matte finish instead of being all shiny.
I have slightly sensitive skin but it has never made my skin feel irritated in anyway!
The only problem I have found with this product is that the lid breaks quite easily and need a more durability but other then that it is pretty much perfect for me with just the right amount of colour for $15 from priceline you just can't walk past it!

Hydraluron by Indeed Laboratories
Its says on the tube
 "Increases skin hydration from below the surface with an ultra-high hyaluronic acid that holds up to 1,000 times it weight in water"
And OMG it so does! It is amazing I love this stuff and my skin does too! My skin absorbs it so easily and it is, as if my skin is drinking it in! It makes my skin feel so much more softer and heaps less dry. Although it is not meant to be used as a substitute for moisturiser you do have to use moisturiser on afterwards but it seems to me that my moisturiser is absorbed a lot quicker and less sticky which makes me love it more.
Price was $24.94

Rimmel London 'Wake me up' Concealer
In the colour Ivory.
Its says on the bottle that it has an instant Anti-Fatigue effect with a vitamin moisturising complex, but I don't really agree its much better to use for making your blemishes and spots although it still doesn't do all that good of a job I only bought it because I like to buy matching foundations and concealers. which brings me to foundation.
Price was $14.95

Rimmel London 'Wake me up" Foundation
In the colour 103 True Ivory.
This is the complete opposite of the concealer it totally does what it states it does and I love it so much it truly does have an instant Anti-Fatigue effect and a radiant glow, and the only reason I think it does is not because of some vitamin moisturising ingredient but because it has a very slight shimmer to it and doesn't make me look like I have put a shimmer powder all over my face, it just makes my face look a lot more healthy and the shimmy can be toned down when you put some powder on your face so I am quite happy about that. It is a medium to heavy coverage and doesn't look cakey, a little goes along way with this one! And I love the bottle, very cute I think.
Lastly it has a SPF 15 in it which I'm loving!
Price was $19.95

Garnier BB Cream 'Miracle Skin Perfector'
In the colour Light.
Now it does hydrate and soothe and all that other stuff it clams but just the cream on its own makes your skin look so oily so I have to put a powder over the top of it to give it the matte finish I am after with my foundation/base. 
*The only thing shiny I like is my eyes!*
 But anyway, This stuff is really great for everyday use it has a light feel as well and not cakey although I do put it on with my "Real Techniques Expert Face Brush" And it goes on quite streaky I have tried to used other brushes but it does the same thing but I just go over it with my Covergirl powder and a "Real Techniques Buffing Brush" and the streaky appearance disappears. I am going to purchase another brand when this one runs out which will be very soon to see if i can get one less shiny though.
Price was $13.99

Garnier BB Cream 'Eye Roll On'
In the colour Light.
This product doe work I have not big but dark bags under my eyes and this has just the right pigment in it to make it less noticeable, it doesn't make them non existent seeming the it is a light coverage, but it does work for my skin and makes my eyes pop and less puffy.
Price was $13.99

Benefit Blush 'Dandelion'
This isn't as pink as I would like but its great for work. I don't like going to work with intense and bold looking cheeks. So I really like the subtleness of this blush and I'm a sucker for light baby pink colours the make me feel fresh and not over the top. Its quite pigmented and very smooth looking on the cheeks and I do put the slightest, and I mean the tiniest bit on my chin and forehead as well makes my face more brightened but I would do this if you don't have a pinkie skin tone and I would NOT do this if it was more dark, colour-wise. Over all I love all Benefit blushes and will be adding them all to my collection! And the little boxes are just the cutest thing ever!
Price was $28.00

(I use foundations when i need lots of coverage and BB Cream when I'm having good skin days i don't use them together, Just sayin')




Now on to eyes..




 Starting from the back is, 

Urban Decay 'Naked'
The colours in this palette are,
Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Darkhorse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep and Gunmetal.
The only ones I have been using so far in the last few months are Virgin and Half baked for highlighting purposes on the bridge of my nose, Cupid's bow and the highest parts on my cheek bones.
But they are very pigmented easy to use and great quality, they also blend great too! The Only bad thing is the mirror is tiny.

Urban Decay 'Naked 2'
The colours in this palette are,
Foxy, Half Baked, Bootycall,Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, Ydk, Busted, Blackout
And again I don't use these often I only use Blackout as a top lid eyeliner and that's it. 
But the plus side colours look great the mirror is awesome and the way it clicks shut is a great idea! 

Urban Decay 'Naked 3'
Colours in this last palette are,
Strange, Dust, Burnout, Limit, Buzz, Trick, Nooner, Liar, Factory, Mugshot, Darkside and Blackheart.
Now OMG I fricken love this palette this has been the best palette I have ever purchased!! There is so much I could say about this but I will be writing so hours! So I'll try do this quickly.
The colour Strange I use under my eyes brow to brighten them and define them.
Dust is my absolute favourite one out of the lot! It has my favourite colour pink in it and the most prettiest shimmer in an eye shadow I have ever used. I make my eyes look so damn pretty and I just love it so much!!
Burnout, Buzz, Trick & Liar I love shimmer and are so shiny to the point they are metallic almost. They are just so cute!!
And Blackheart is just on another level of awesome!
Its a deep Black matte colour with THE MOST amazing rosey red or maroon coloured micro-glitter. I just have never found a colour like it
This palette I highly recommend to everyone the suite anyone! I have even tried Nooner with limit and Mugshot on my mum (53yr old) and made her lids look so much smoother Its a must buy!!

Price is about $52 each but I got all three together as a gift so I'm not sure of the price

Maybelline 'Define-a-Lash' Mascara 
In the colour Very Black.
(Green One)
This I bought for my bottom lashes because it doesn't give volume or length, its perfect if you just want a touch of colour to your lashes but not as a going-out type look. They just don't give the HELLO LASHES effect I'm after.
Price was $19.25

Maybelline 'The Mega Plush' Volum Express Mascara 
In the colour Blackest Black.
(Blue one)
Love this one it is a Gel-mousse with less wax doesn't flake, Ive had mine for nearly a year and hasn't dried out yet and definitely gives the pretty HELLO LASHES effect I'm after.
Price was $19.95

Natio 'BrowKit'
Now I can not find my brow kit anywhere, so i had to do the naughty and google the image (naughty me)
But anyway Not much to say about this one other than awesome! I want to get the Brow zinger by Benefit but until I decide what else I want to buy of their website I'm going to stick with this one. I love the wax idea and how they put a cut little pair of tweezers with it,They are good quality too I use than over my good pair and the convenient little brushes (I have never use) are a good idea too If I didn't have my heart set of the Natio one I would definitely purchase this again!




And just because I mentioned them, I thought I'd add in this picture of my 
Real Techniques Brushes.

My love of other things in life

So.. 

Because pregnancy is a BIG waiting game.

I have decided to not just write about my long road to falling pregnant and to start adding things such as Beauty, Fashion and other things going on in my personal life and just to let you know if anyone reads this that I am not in any means an expert in fashion or Beauty I'm a just a gal who loves to look pretty by dressing up in nice clothes and putting make-up on to make myself feel less exposed :D 


So tomorrow after work I am going to write my first post about either Beauty or Fashion I'm still undecided but excited, I'm thinking of something along the line of my everyday make-up look but I'm not a professional photographer and I definitely don't look my best in photos. But if anyone reads this i hope you like it :D

Photo of Jason and Myself.




My world and my everything!!


                               
 Love him Loads!!!! 


❤ 

A More Detailed Introduction..

So...

 Since my surgery on the 14th November 2013 it has healed up quite nicely and the scars are barely there but still noticeable, it did work, though unfortunately I'm still unable to conceive unassisted and after now nearly four months of countless doctor appointments and trying to fall pregnant with my fiance Jason. My gynaecologist has put my on some medication called Clomid, which is meant to help me ovulate and has a very high success rate on woman who still have eggs but can't release them.

I have never in my life wanted my period so badly before seeming you have to start taking the pills on the second day of menstruation to the 6th day. So on the 27th February 2014 when my doctor gave me these pills, till today, I have been so excited to get my girlie's and that is very strange for me because my pains are bloody terrible and I'm either suck on the couch for the the duration of the time, missing work and not being able to be social in anyway without screaming at someone for no apparent reason other than extreme pain and frustration. *sad face* 

So I'm just hoping this all works! It pains me to see so many unwanted pregnancies, abortions and young mothers with no care for the that little miracle inside them. Or, the mothers and fathers that mentally and/or physically even worse, sexually abuse their children! It sickens me how they have the ability to have a child and yet amazing women and men can not be blessed with the chance of having a child of their own or just simply, How people like me have so much trouble. 

I just don't understand it all.

But anyway back to my point, Here's a little back story.... 

Having been told that I have

-Polycystic ovarian syndrome,
- Cysts on my ovaries bigger than my ovaries, 
- Severe endometriosis,
- A retroverted uterus,
- Being told its going to be a long hard road to get the chance to carry my own child and most likely be impossible unassisted, (meaning IVF treatment)
- And that I have a 1st degree prolapsed uterus and if I do fall pregnant I can Never give birth naturally because my muscles  that hold my uterus in place will tear completely off and it will end up being an extremely dangerous and expensive surgery which may result in a hysterectomy and even the loss of my child. 

Just to make matters a little worse I have been told something else just as equally harsh and a major shock to the system, My doctor said to me,

"You haven't ovulated in over 5 years as far as I can tell Zoe" 

I was so shocked I could barely breath all I could think was that I can never have the family I have been dreaming of since I was a little girl and OMG Jason is going to want to leave me cause I can't give him the family he has always wanted. Which went through my head at what felt quicker than turning a light on and as painful as being stabbed in the heart. I was devastated!

I finally said to my doctor,

"So what does this mean?  Can I have kids or not? Are my eggs even in existence??"

And at this point I am so confused and so upset, that the tears start to fall,

And he said,

"Your eggs do exist Zoe, Come in and see me ASAP to get this sorted"

So feeling torn but a little happy to know I wasn't completely broken I booked the appointment on 27th Feb and he gave me the pills and as I said before I am so excited to see if they work, but I am trying my hardest to not get my hopes up and think that I will be pregnant within the first couple of months but just to have positive thoughts going through my head finally is just so amazing that I decided to share my story as painfully harsh that my story may be, But i feel as if i need to get it all out of my head even if no one will read this.


So fingers crossed on what I hope will be the journey of mine and Jason's Pregnancy....
