A bit of my Christmas

Heyyy!! Hope you all had a good Christmas!! I really did even though I've been feeling a bit poorly!! My mum got me a Canon 1100D EEEEEKKKKK!! I'd wanted one for sooo long so nearly died when I opened it, especially as she got me a tripod, an extra flash attachment and a mini photo studio for it too! Perfect presents and I had no idea what she had got me :) I feel super spoilt and when I woke up this morning I sort of felt like...Do I really actually have one ?!? hehe. So Christmas day I was up super early and opening presents with mumma and shyah, then we went to my nans for the day. It was quite a quiet Christmas day at my nans in comparison to previous years, but it was lovely!! I'm just dosing up on vitamin C and paracetamol today, trying to ward of whatever this is making me feel rough! Need to be better for NYE for some cocktails and fun :) How cute does my bubbie look at the end of the day? She was tired right out hehe <3 So yes I got lots of lovely presents - I've just snapped a few of my favourite bits. Oh and obviously as its the Christmas salessss, Ive taken advantage of the Topshop sale...which actually started before christmas which is weird haha..hoping my package will arrive tomorrow.. I'll probably post about that haul later on in the week. What did you all get up to for Christmas and did you get what you wanted?

Christmas Penguins

 1. Set up the nail polish and pens you will be using.

2. Apply your chosen base colour, let dry.

3. Draw on your penguin silhouette, this can be round or oval with wings.

4. Apply your white belly to the penguin & leave to dry.

4. Add eyes, a beak and feet to your penguin (:

5. (Optional) Add a cute Santa hat, let dry & apply top coat.

 

Here is one last Christmassy nail art tutorial for you! As Christmas eve is a chilled out day for a lot of people, why not give this a go? I used Models Own Sterling Silver, Models Own nail art pens in black and yellow and nail art pens in white and red. My mum absolutely loves these and I'm gunna do these on her nails for Christmas day :) This is quite an easy one, follow the steps and the results should be good :) The Santa hats are optional, but I thought they were a nice touch! I hope you've all had a good weekend, and have an amazing Christmas!! Lots of loveeeeee. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Secret Santa

 New you Hand & Lip care set

Models Own - Beths Blue

Models Own - Show Stopper (Clothes Show Limited Edition)

 

Just a quick post to show you what I recieved from Secret Santa at work, we had up to the value of £10!! We all went out to a little restaurant place for lunch at work yesterday and swapped secret Santas there!! Could these presents be anymore perfect for me? Hand and lip care set, which is great as I love a bit of hand cream and lip balm. AND!!! I sooo badly wanted the Clothes Show Models Own nail polish, but didnt go to the clothes show so I had no way of getting it! So when I saw this in my secret santa gift I was over the moon! Beths Blue is the perfect accompanying colour! So I'll either wear Show Stopper alone or over Beths Blue! I Think I'm gunna paint my nails with these for Christmas day :) Im super lucky, best secret santa present ever, I absolutely love what I got! But I'm pretty sure everyone was happy with their gifts!! 3 days to goooooo!! I'm spending this weekend preparing my self for the festivities!! Are you as excited as me?

Snowflakes

 L-R; Models Own - Feeling Blue, Models Own - Dream Stream, Barry M - Navy, Cosmetic Sponge & Whitre Nail art Pen.

1. Apply Your Chosen Base Colour, Leave to dry.

2. Using your cosmetic sponge stipple on a gradient effect in your other chosen colours.

3. Using your white nail art pen, Carefully apply your snowflakes, Leave to dry then top coat with a clear or glitter nail polish.

This is another one of those nail art designs that is super easy when you know how, but looks super cool. I think the gradient ombre background adds something a bit more special to these nails. For the snowflakes I like to alternate crosses with dots in the spaces, and then large snowflakes. Yes they can be a bit tricky but dont rush and youll get the hang of it. Also I think they look a bit nicer if some of the snowflakes are coming off the nails, instead of just having them plonked uniformly on the nail. I just used the Models Own 3-in-1 topcoat on these, but I did debate using a thin glitter to add to them! Which is definitely something you could do!! Let me know how you get on with these, I'd love to see :) 4 days Til' Christmas people!!!!!!!!!!!! Eeeeeeeeeek!

S&G Never ever disappoint me, and I adore all of their products, so with a massive saving of £33 (£43.50 if bought individually) I KNOW Im going to enjoy using every single product in this set.

Stud Addict.

ASOS Stud Plate Belt - £6 Savvy Sunday

ASOS Horse Stud Clutch - £12 Savvy Sunday

Primark Black & Burgundy Studded Socks - £1.50 Each

MUA Brush Pen Concealers - £2 Each 

H&M Matte Top Coat - £2.99

Sleek Blush in 'Flamingo' - £4.49

Heres some of the bits I've bought recently, even though I should'nt as christmas is just around the corner. But I got the belt and the bag in the ASOS Savvy Sunday sale the other week and they were too good a bargain to resist. The Socks I just thought were laaavly and as I'm so addicted to studs they work perfectly with everything in my wardrobe!!  The MUA brush pen concealers were a bargain, I'd run out of my Lo'real Lumi Magique Highlighter and to be honest I'd sort of decided it was good...but still a little pricey - so when stumbling cross these for £2 each I grabbed a couple. I got Radiance and Light, 2 different shades as I hadent tried them before and wasnt sure on which colour, but they're both really really good!! Although I do prefer Radiance as its a little lighter, I picked up another one a few days later as I know its gunna become a favourite. The Matte Top coat I saw in H&M Lakeside the other day, I've been after a matte black nail polish for ages but they're quite hard to find and a bit expensive, so I thought if I get the Matte Top Coat I can now make my own :) Lastly but probably best, Ive found a new cheaper alternative to my fave MAC Dollymix (Which I effing love), Sleek Blushers have become a favourite of mine so when I saw This pink I had to get it, as it is soo similar to Dollymix but a quarter of the price!! Perfect. Have you been buying anything similar recently??

Sleek Goodness

Sleek i-Divine in Respect - RRP £7.99

Sleek Blush in Honour - RRP £4.49

Sleek Eyelashes - RRP???

As I meantioned briefly in the Sloane's Plum post, at work the other day Becci did a big giveaway of all the beauty products that get sent into the office. Where everything was put out onto a table and all us girls got to take what we wanted. These are probably my favourite bits of what I got it. OOhh it was amazing. I love Sleek so I was soo happy to get these products. My local Superdrug recently had a refurb and for some reason they no longer stock Sleek. The sleek i-Divine palette I had wanted for ages so yayyyy Ive finally got it, the pigments are amazinggggg! The amount of looks you can create with this palette is unreal - I'd recommend this to anyone!! Put it on your xmas list!!! The Blush is gorgeousss, goes really well with my skin tone, I really like brown blushers, but having brown skin means its quite hard to find one that actually shows up on me! This one is perfect, Its called Honour, if you're looking for a brown blusher I'd definitely recommend this one, its slightly shimmery, leaving your cheeks glowing and the colour is buildable so it can be as subtle or not.. as you like! The lashes I haven't tried, I had a look online to find prices for them, but couldn't find anything about them, so I'm guessing they're not out in shops or online yet? And there aren't any names or numbers for the styles on the boxes either. But keep an eye out maybe they're in Sleeks Christmas collection! I think I'm gunna save them and wear a pair to the Christmas party, which by the way  I now have my dress for hehehehehe!!! Also got a laaaaavly clutch and spike belt in the ASOS Saavy Sunday yesterday so I'm pretty much sorted - WOOO! Happy Monday :)
