My New Perfume

A few weeks ago I had an appointment at the dentists, which I hate! So I always treat myself before I go. This time I bought myself a lovely new perfume, I can't resist a good bargain an this was only £11! It smells gorgeous and I think its a great Winter scent. I bought Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy:

Mine was £11 from Boots for 30ml. I have also seen it since in TK Maxx, £19.99 for 100ml.

I'm not good at describing scents but I 'd say this was a deep fruity fragrance. I have pretty much been wearing it since I bought it and my boyfriend loves it so its definitely a thumbs up!

Speaking of scents I have also recently bought this fruity hand sanitiser for 68p from Wilkinsons. I absolutely love it! It smells like fruity alcohol shots.

And I picked up two Betty Crocker scented candles from the 99p shop so now my house smells as yummy as a festive bakery!

On the left is Apple Pie (I think that's what its called) and on the right is Red Velvet Cake.

I picked up a few Vanilla diffusers too :)

Tick Tock...

Hi,

I am getting really impatient that my Xmas and New Year parties are still at least 2 weeks away! :( I cannot wait to get into my sexy santa outfit (yes I have actually agreed to do that!) and my lovely New Years frock. I just love getting myself primped and preened to wake up a big mess in the morning! So I decided to drag out some products I haven't used and some I just can't get ready to party without, ready for the big events. So here's what I came up with:

Exfoliating! Soap & Glory Flake Away and Greatest Scrub of all

Body Moisturising! Soap & Glory Glow Lotion, The Daily Smooth, Girligo & The Body Shop Satsuma Body Butter

Facial Cleansing/Moisturising! Johnson's 3 in 1 Make Up Remover, Soap & Glory Clean Mary, Clean & Clear Moisturiser

Fake Tan! St Moritz Tanning Mousse

Additional Hair Products! Schwarzkopf Got2b Powderful & Schwarzkopf Gliss Shine Tonic Glossing Spray

Make Up! I haven't used any of the make up but I'm definitely going to try and use them over the party period. They're nothing special but I'd like to get some use out of them before I condemn them back into make up storage. I see these nail varnishes coming out of storage too :)

Now there's a lot of Soap & Glory here but I just love how fresh and feminine I feel after using their products. Its mainly due to the scent but I just think they are perfect for the party season <3 I can't wait to get out they're and get some more party essentials, Scholl Party Feet are definitely on the list.

17 Nail Varnish Swatches & Clothing Haul

Hi,

As requested here are the swatched of the 17 polishes from my last post.

Top Left, Night Shade (3 coats), Top Right, Night Shade with Glitter Top Coat (1 coat)
Bottom Left, Risky Red (2 coats), Bottom Left, Risky Red with Black Glitter Top Coat

Starry Eyes Eyeliner in Stardust

I don't think I like the Glitter Crackle, I think it looks like a big mess. The polishes were all super shiny though which was great. It took 3 coats of the Nightshade to create a block colour but it dried pretty quickly. The Risky Red looked perfect after one coat, I ended up doing two just in case but it didn't really make much of a difference. I loved the Glitter Top Coat! I only did one coat to test it for a subtle look. I can't wait to completely coat my nails in it haha.

I thought I'd better post up all of the items I've bought recently before I forget, so here's what I have picked up. 

Top L-R, Top,  Primark £6 - Leopard Print Tunic, Asda £12 - Sequined Hat, New Look £5.99, Scarf, Primark £3, Tights, Primark £1.90 - Heart Print Dress, Asda £12 - Bag, Primark £4

Bottom L-R, Vests,  New Look £2.49 each - Wellies, Asda £13 - Leopard Print Flats, Primark £6 - 3 Pack Belts Primark £2 -  Eye Shadow Quad & Blusher Brick Primark £1 

 Here's the Eyeshadows (Top) and the Blusher Brick (Bottom), They are terrible blushers and eyeshadows but great highlighters as all that shows up is a white sheen, strange but still useful. I did get a shock when I took a proper look in the mirror though! I won't be using anymore make up without testing them first again, I can tell you that hehe.

I picked up a few more bits but they are all currently in the wash so I'll post those up another time. P.S. sorry for the terrible pictures.

Boots 17 Nail Buys

Hi,

I picked up the 17 Black Glitter Crackle Top Coat today from Boots. I thought it would be a great buy for the Christmas season and I was intrigued at how it would look on. They also had an offer on for a free "Electric Disco" set when you bought 2 products. So I also bought the Starry Eyes Glitter Liner in Stardust. I can't wait to use them and see if they're any good, hopefully they are! I'm quite impressed with the free gift. There's nothing I wouldn't gets lots of use out of, so even if the crackle and eyeliner are rubbish I'll be happy with these :)

The free gift contains 3 nail polishes (L-R Risky Red, Glitter Top Coat, Nightshade) and a small nail file in a "party perfect purse" which would make a cute little make up bag. Bargain or what! :)

My First ELF Order

Hi,

Sorry for the lack of posting recently but my boyfriend has been in hospital and I had been visiting him every night. He got out on Friday and now he's back to his usual self. I had a tooth taken out yesterday so I wasn't up for posting then too. I've picked up a few things to blog about so I hope to get all those up soon. Anyway onto my ELF order, I purchased the following:

Shimmering Facial Whip in Lilac Petal, Matte Finisher Nail Polish, Make Up Mist & Set, Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil in Iconic Ivory and Eyelid Primer in Sheer

Blushing, Bronzing & Blending Brush, Eyeliner Brush, Eye Shadow Brush, Smudge Brush, Eye Crease Brush, Blending Eye Brush & Eyelash Curler
I just picked this lot up from the Post Office so I haven't had the chance to use them yet but the brushes seem like great quality for the price. I'm not really the type of girl that has a lot of time left to do much with my eye make up in a morning, so I thought at least if the brushes are reasonably priced I'm not going to feel guilty about not using them. I am definitely going to try and make of an effort to do my eye make up though.

The shimmering facial whip has a bit of a cheapy scent but I doubt anyone will notice, I love the colour though. I've tested the matte nail finisher already and that does the job, nothing much more I can say then that really haha. I bought the eye pencil hoping it would be better then the Maybelline Expression Kajal eyeliner which is really hard, very disappointing. I'm going to test the majority of them tomorrow yay I can't wait! Anyway I'm going to get a nice hot bath to relax ready for all of the pickets outside work tomorrow due to the strikes :/

Superdrug & Ebay Haul

Hi,

I recently purchased quite a few items on Ebay so I thought I'd show you them now that they have all arrived. I ordered most of these almost a month ago. They are all from Hong Kong so I have been waiting ages!

Here they all are:

Apologies for the photo but I took these on my phone. From left to right they are 1. Vintage Ring £1.26, 2. Cat Ears Ring £1.25, 3. Double C Pendant £1.89, 4. Double C Brooch £2.53, 4. Peace Pearl Bracelet £1.99, all had free delivery.

I love the rings but they're a bit small, I have chubby fingers though. The cat ears ring doesn't fit on my ring finger, which is a UK size N. The vintage style ring does fit though but I would have liked it on my middle finger. The pendant, which I have decided to make into a bag charm, is in my opinion a bit too large unless added to an extra long chain. I love the brooch! I bought this to go on a plain black tunic/top which comes in at the bust. It does look amazing on it <3 As soon as the bracelet arrived on Thursday I put it straight on and wore it to the Twilathon, which was amazing! In case you don't know the Twilathon was all 4 of the Twilight Saga films all at once, showing Breaking Dawn Part 1 at 00.01. I had a great time and I loved the film. It was the best one so far in my opinion but still nothing compared to the books.

I also placed an order with Superdrug online whilst it was free delivery on all orders and 3 for 2 on make up. I haven't tested them yet but here's what a bought:

 MUA Mosaic Blusher in English Rose £2.50

 Collection 2000 Sheer Loose Powder - Transluscent £2.99

MUA Heaven & Earth Palette £4

I think these MUA products are very well known so I haven't swatched them or anything. I read some great reviews about the Collection 2000 powder so I'm sure that will be a great product. So thats all of my buys, till Monday at least anyway (payday yay!) xx

OOTD 15/11/11

Hi,
In order to get some half decent photos today I took a picture at work (naughty naughty!). Its not very exciting but I felt good in it so I'm happy.I would have normally worn heels but it's too cold and I didn't feel like it haha.

I wore a Cardi from Primark, Blouse & Skirt from H&M, Leggings & Boots from New Look.

I had a nice little package when I came home too......

Yay! I love this series of books and found this latest one by a chance search on Amazon. I can't wait to get reading hehe. So I'm off to go and do that right now! :) x
