Christmas Pressies!

Image
Hi guys! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and got everything you hoped for and more :) I had a lovely day full with food, family and pressies! ...Also a sew your own sock reindeer that I still need to finish, I spent 3 and a half hours making it! Today I wanted to share the lovely presents I received over Christmas, but before I start this is in no way a bragging post, I feel very lucky to have gotten what I did and feel very spoilt! Just some of my amazing presents! I got 4 new perfumes so I should smell lovely for the rest of the year! Hugo Boss Jour & Avon Little Black Dress Jour is lovely and fresh like a spring day! Kind of a care free kind of fragrance. & Little Black Dress is what I think of as a classic fragrance reminds me of both my grandma's and Chanel no.5 - I'm not saying its a dupe for Chanel no.5 I can barely remember what it smells like, but when I was little one of my grandma's gave me her almost used bottle of Chanel no.5 and this reminds me o...

Get Ready With Me: Christmas Party

Image
Christmas is getting closer and closer guys! Sunday just gone (15th) I had my work Christmas Party, and so I thought it would be fun to have a go at a 'Get Ready With Me' post. I love watching these sort of videos and thought I'd give a go at translating it in to a post! So here it is! So lets start out with the face! To start out I primed my face with my Garnier 5sec Perfect Blur . Once all lovely and blurred I applied a thin covering of my Avon Ideal Flawless foundation, then a thin layer of my B. Naked  foundation to keep my colouring as natural as possible. Once dry I used my Mac Pro Longwear concealer brought out for special occasions or when my skin is particularly bad, to just hide any blemishes. Finally I set all this with a sweep of my Maybelline Fit Me! powder.  To colour my cheeks I used my MUA blush in shade 1 on the apples of my cheeks. For lips I used one of my favourite lipsticks the Barry M Magic Lipstick, I also topped this with a NYC lip gloss in a b...

Christmas Beauty Tag

Image
Hi guys! So with Christmas only 2 weeks away I'm still not feeling massively festive! Though I watched Elf today - Love it! Anyway I was tagged by Hristina of  2ferocious  to do her Christmas Beauty Tag & Here it is! My Answers. 1] Decorations and Food! Food is so much more exciting at this time of year! 2] I do love a Gingerbread Latte - Though I haven't had one this year! I normally grab one when I'm Christmas shopping but I've done 90% of it online this year - So its mostly been tea. 3] So far I have lived in one jumper - Ok that sounds gross I have the same jumper in 3 colours and have lived in them when I haven't been at work and my NEW LOOK  black ankle boots with the chunky heel and buckles - LOVE THESE! 4] + It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas + Sleigh Ride + Jingle Bell Rock 5] Eeep! Lots of Books! A Library like in Beauty & The Beast ( best Disney Ever! ) 6] This Year Christmas Eve: Work till 6:30 then home for our traditional home ...

Inspired By: Catching Fire

Image
Hi guys! I've been so excited for the second installment of The Hunger Games Trilogy: Catching Fire! And I'm finally going to see it tonight! So I was inspired to a little bit of nail art for the occasion and a hair style. For the nail art: + Base coat + Black nail polish + Red nail polish + Orange nail polish + Yellow nail polish + Bronze glitter top coat + Top coat + Old makeup sponge   I'm not the neatest of nail painters! Step 1: Paint a layer of your base coat and allow to dry. Double coat all nails with the black polish Step 2: On a scrap of paper or newspaper make a pile of red polish to dip your sponge in. Sponge the red polish over 3 quarters of the nail, allow to dry then repeat. Exclude the ring finger. Step 3: Repeat step 2 using the orange and yellow polishes. Allow to dry. Step 4: Paint 1 layer of the orange polish over the ring finger nail. Allow to dry. Step 5:  Finally paint the glitter top coat over all the nails. And your done! Its obviously not the...

Autumn Favourites

Image
Hi Guys! As its now officially winter..I think, I thought it time to do a Autumn Favourites post. Autumns such a pretty time of year the leaves turn such a lovely colour and we get to wrap up toasty warm in our winter wooleys and drink copious amounts of tea and hot chocolate. Anyway on to my favourite items/products of the season.   First up is my favourite Autumn/Winter perfume Armani Code. I have been wearing this for years. Ever since I smelt it in a magazine and fell in love. Then purchased it on a boat coming home from a school trip visiting the Somme I believe. To me its such a warm and intense scent perfect for the cooler weather. Next up is my Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge and my Avon Ideal Flawless Foundation. I have a review post of the foundation in the pipe line, but lets just say I'm loving it! I'm a total book worm and these 2 have been instant favourites. Stephen King's Carrie - Just OMG was amazing !I really hope I get to see the new film! ...
