Little Beauties

Hello lovelies,

This week is my first full week at work since before the holidays and it has been looooooong, however its almost the weekend, Hallelujah!!


Today I thought I would share a few little beauty goodies I got for Christmas, yes I know Christmas was a lifetime ago but I've been so busy at work I've barely even looked at these myself!!!

Sorry about the quality of the pictures, it's dark when I leave for work and its dark when I come home so lighting is problematic, well that and I'm not the best at taking pictures in the first place!

Elemis Think Pink Beauty Kit (supporting breast cancer awareness)

This really is a little beauty I love the pink bag it is soon to be my actual make-up bag and inside

 

50ml Elemis spa@home Relaxing Bath Elixir -Quiet Mind

15ml Elemis Pro-Collagen Lifting Treatment -Neck and Bust

30ml Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream - Anti-Ageing

 

Actually cannot wait to start using these!

MAC Lipstick (Amplified Creme) -Girl About Town

 

I'm normally a boring nude lip kinda girl so excited about trying this!

Benefit Mascara -They're Real

 

My sister uses this and well what ever she has, I WANT, haha, so she bought me my own for christmas!

Nail Polishes

Calvin Klein -218 heiress, a shimmery, rose gold colour (likely to be from a very old collection, my mum got it at a charity sale)

Barry M -353 Ruby Glitter, a clear polish with black and pink glitter

Barry M -320 Foil Effects, gold foil effect

Barry M -251(limited edition) clear polish with green, blue, pink and purple glitter

 

Haven't tried them yet as I had shellac done by my beautician friend!!

Chanel -Intense Radiance Lipgloss -347

Chanel -Mirror Shine Lipgloss -671

Chanel -Powder Blush -73

Chanel -Natural Finish Loose Powder -57

My friend works on the Chanel counter can you tell!!!

Eyelure pre-glued lashes -050

 

I love false lashes, these pre-glued ones i have tried and I think they are amazing if your in a rush or not too confident about applying lashes!

Elizabeth Arden Color Intrigue Eyeshadow Quad

 

 (again from charity sale so a very old collection)

Colours

Ember/Sand Dune

Sand Castle/Cool Blue

Although I haven't tried these yet they do look pretty wearable and are highly pigmented.

Superdrug -self grip bedtime rollers

 

I was looking at sleep-in rollers but really don't believe I (or anyone else) could sleep with them in, it takes me to sleep on the softest of pillows!! My sister put these Superdrug ones in with my present as a bit of a laugh, I may as well give them a go!

BIBA -square cosmetic bag - leopard print

 

I love it but isn't it just too cute to end up covered in make-up?

Let me know if you have tried any of these goodies and what you thought?
I'd love to see any new beauty products you got for Christmas too!!

I should get to try them out at the weekend and hopefully I'll love them!!!


Keep smiling :D

Countdown to Christmas #11 & 12

Well with a combination of partying, last minute shopping and a terrible Internet connection, I have become a bad blogger ( I hope Santa hasn't noticed ;) )

Without further rambling

I LOVE stockings!!! (the ones you hang up for Santa)
Yes I know I'm not a 5 year old and yes I still get a stocking of goodies, the task of filling the stocking has been passed from my mum to my boyfriend but let me tell you I still get as excited finding little treats in my stocking as I did when I was 5 it may not be toys inside anymore but make up treats are my grown-up equivalent....can't wait to see what's it holds this year ;)

----------

I LOVE carol singers!!!!

Yesterday, I had some last minute shopping to do and a friend to meet in town to swap gifts there was a huge choir singing carols, collecting money for a local hospice, in the town centre!
I could have stood and listened for hours!!

With the gifts, the food, the shopping, the parties, Santa Claus and everything else that comes with Christmas it can be easy to forget what it's really all about, when I hear Christmas Carols I'm instantly reminded of the true meaning of Christmas! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!!

Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas may all your Christmas wishes come true!

Keep Smiling :D

1 more sleep YIPEEEEEEE!!

Countdown to Christmas #5

I'm currently trying to play catch up with the countdown posts from the weekend, so without rambling I'll just get on with it...

I LOVE swapping presents!!!
I have to admit I love giving pressies to my loved ones just as much, if not more than I do receiving them.

I especially love buying gifts for my sisters, girls are so easy to buy for, right?
Also we have very similar tastes, we have, in the past bought each other the same items before and we often turn up with the same top on, in fact just yesterday, was my younger sister (I'm the middle in a set of 3) Donna's birthday she got two identical 'Happy Birthday Sister' cards from Cheryl and I, which made us all laugh!


I am known to get over excited, it's driving my family crazy right now, so when I have bought someone a gift I get so excited to watch them open it and make them smile(hopefully!?!)

Do you love or hate shopping for other people?

Any suggestions on what to buy, the guy who has everything would be appreciated, ha? I'm struggling this year!

Keep Smiling :D

Only 14 more sleeps.....
