Winter/Christmas Nail Polish's!

As we are getting closer to Christmas I wanted to share with you my favourite nail polish to wear! There is a lot of glitter in these colours, due to the fact that, well it's Christmas and who doesn't want a bit of glitter on Christmas? First off I would like to say that a lot of these happen to be O.P.I as I find that these are the best polish, there are also a few others, I might have to find some that are cheaper to use as well! Although as a nice treat you could buy an O.P.I polish as you will not regret it!

 Rather than writing out the list of what the polish's are called I decided to write them down next to a little swatch of the colour! So you can see a little preview of what the colour looks like, they are really lovely colours, which is your favourite? What colour do you like to wear the most in winter?

Anyway, that's it for the Monday post, I am hoping to get some fashion posts up soon, its just harder to take the photos as you have to get someone else to take them and make sure that the lighting is good, either that or I can try and set a tripod up, we shall see what happens! Thank you for reading and see you next Monday!!!

party time! Make up and outfit!

When it comes to getting ready on a night out, it can be hard to decide what to wear and what make-up goes with that. Lately I have been experimenting with make-up and trying to get better. First I want to mention the Maybelline eyestudio lasting drama gel liner, this is a perfect item for those that really can't use liquid eyeliner - that would be me! It is so lovely to use, the rest of the things that I put on were pretty much products I had used before.

First I will start with the eyes, since it was a night out I wanted to make sure that they stood out. I started with the base of the maybelline colour tattoo in - pink gold. To make this colour pop I used my Almay palette (trio for browns 001) and added the purple colour, then went with my bare minerals shadow in 'b.f.f.' to give the colour some brightness. In my crease I went with my bareminerals black in 'k.i.t.' and blended it out a lot so there was only a slight amount of colour. For the brow bone highlight and in the corner of the eye I went for the top colour in the Almay palette.

Products used - Rimmel wake me up foundation in 'Ivory', Garnier roll on concealer  natural collection bronzer - 'sun shine', Jemma Kidd Highlighter - '01 iced gold', No7 blush  - '22 candy pink', maybelline the falsies flared mascara!

Here was the final look, I added my Buxom lip gloss rather than a dark colour. The dress is from New look and it is just a burgundy coloured dress with hearts on, it was very simple, I added tights and wedges to complete the look. Hope you enjoyed!

Bare Minerals Ready Eyeshadow - The Rare Find

So this was a one off buy for me, I haven't really tried many products from bareminerals in the past and I have heard good things about their eye shadows  When I went up to the make-up counter I was drawn to their supernatural collection for two reasons:

• Supernatural TV programme, as well as the fact that I love that sort of theme in anything really
• the colours were stunning and I had to swatch them

So the palette that I ended up buying is called 'The Rare Find' which includes four different colours. The cream one is the only colour that I was let down by, it is called 'Lost For Words'. Now this would actually be a nice colour if my skin wasn't the exact same colour, therefore it does not show up or look at different, I would think that people with darker skin than me (the majority of the population) would work with it just fine. The golden colour is called 'Surreal' now this is really pigmented and such a wonderful colour, it works well as a highlight or an overall eye colour, it doesn't seem to have fall out either which I was very pleased with. The olive colour is the same formulation as the gold which means I am impressed with this one as well, also as I have said before I love to use green on my eyes. (It's called 'Eureka') Then last but not least we have 'Frisson' which is a burgundy colour, that is matte, I find this a nice change to have to work through the crease, and it's not too overpowering and is nice.

Overall I am very pleased with this palette, the packaging get's really dirty as you can see, but with a good wipe it will be fine. It also has a lovely mirror on the inside which I find to be very useful. The packaging itself is small and easy to carry around in a make up bag or a hand bag. The only thing I would change would be to have a different colour rather than the cream, maybe a light white so that I would show up on my skin. Enjoy the post, thank you for reading! Maybe treat yourself to something from bareminerals, (I love their lip glosses from the Buxom range)

my Christmas wishlist!!!

These are the things that I would love to get for Christmas, it's not likely to happen due to the fact that the sigma brushes are far to expensive for what my family can afford, but it's nice to wish, I think some of them I might be able to get cause they are not as expensive. I hope everyone get's nice gifts that they like and that you all have a great time with your families! I saw breaking dawn today and it was an amazing film, a great way to end the saga, I will miss going to see the film every year, though I can always have rewatches, plus the soundtrack the the films are always nice to listen to. Thank you for reading have a nice day! x

wish list for the winter

These are the little treats that I have in mind for the winter, I would seriously love these! I might have to get a cheaper pair of shoes but the basic style is what I am looking for, the coat is already a cheap one from asda so I am on the right path! What are your wish's for winter? need to wrap up warm don't we?
