Hey guys,
As it's nearly christmas, I wanted to do a Christmas themed nails art design. My first idea was a christmas tree design, But instead i opted for a SnowGlobe design after seeing this picture here.
So heres what i came up with
I also did a video tutorial so feel free to check it out if you want to create a similar look.
To everyone who celebrates christmas, I wish you a very Merry Christmas. I cant wait, My mouths watering already lol. I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays and wish everyone a happy new year :)
Hey guy's
Im so excited my christmas dress came in the post :), I didn't actually think it would come in time as I ordered it from ebay during the whole 'christmas rush'. I'm always so last minute and just hoped for the best. And lucky it came on the day excepted day. So Thank the seller FantasiaBoutique for such a great service and dispatch.
So heres a look at the dress
Plus postage it cost just under £19 from FantasiaBoutique, And it has a gorgeous gold detailing. My bad pictures and smudged mirror are not doing the dress any justice.
The dress comes in all the colours above. You can have a better look here.
This is just a quick post as i still have to go out and buy a few more presents. I hope everyone is enjoying there holidays
Hey Guys
So yesterday I brought a new lipstick. I was looking for something to wear to a christmas party I have coming up and wanted to sort out my look from now.
Swatch
So as it is the festive season and warm colours are on trend, I wanted a warm colour that would go with my black & gold embellished dress. So as i was looking for a plum-red shade i was very pleased when I came across this Cherry 790 lipstick by Sleek in superdrugs. I love the colour and think it matched what i had in mind. And as its by sleek, its only £4.99 :)
My Review - Sleek True colour Cherry 790 (Sheen)
So here's what I thought about it after wearing it all day today
Pros
Long lasting colour, didn't really need to reapply not even after eating
The formula is very creamy which makes it very moisturising
Small and sleek tube easy to carry around in makeup bag
Great price at only £4.99
Unscented, so doesn't have that weird lipstick smell I have experienced with other cheaper brands
Great Pigmentation
Cons
I really don't have much to complain about
So overall I am very pleased with this purchased, I got a lot of compliments from friends which is an added bonus. And it held up during this cold weather. I had used sleek eyeshadow previously but didn't think to use their lipstick but now I'm glad i did :) Does anyone else use sleeks lipsticks or buy any other of the Sleek products?
I hope everyone is enjoying the christmas season, Take Care

So In london its been freezing the last couple of days, and when I woke up this morning I saw so loads of my friends facebook and bbm status' on how its snowing. Although I didn't see any, there was a lot of frost and ice outside my house. The roads are quite slippery and winter is well and truly here. I've been looking for my old wellies for a while now, Maybe one of my cousins "borrowed" them as I cant manage to find them anywere, and thats were my stuff usually end up lol.
So I decided to buy a new pair, so I'm ready for the winter weathers and here's what i got.
They are originally £45, but I only needed to pay £25 thanks to the £20 gift card I got in my December 2012 Elle issue, which i previously posted about.
They're so comfy, and I love the lace up at the front. There also available in Green, i was indecisive at first then i went with the black as i thought they'd go with more things.
As I had recently mentioned surfdome in one of my previous post, they was kind enough to email me about a competition they are currently holding. It a great competition that gives bloggers the chance to win a £250 gift voucher to buy your christmas wish list.

So today I was invited to go along to a Blogger Breakfast event, were we learnt how to screen print with Studio Harlen. It was a great day, which I really enjoyed, I met some great bloggers and I hadn't done screen printing since my sixth form college days, which was about 3/4years ago so it brought back some old memories.
So here are my two prints I did
We made them into head scarfs sizes , which can be styled like the pictures below
We also got a bag from there most recent collection, which I think is absolutely gorgeous :), Heres a picture of the one I choose.
All there products are hand made, and designed in the studio. They use real leather and study zips and buttons. You can see some of the collection on their website here and you can also check out there twitter or blog for more designs.
As Studio Harlen, is part of ACHICA,the Members-only Luxury Lifestyle Store, We also got a great goody bag full of great products from their company.
So Today I'm wearing Night Owl by Fearn Cotton, Which comes from her Midnight Manicure Collection. I brought it from boots for myself yesterday, When I was supposed to be out christmas shopping for my family x_x lol.
These are the results after 1 coat. (Please excuse my sloppiness and bad pictures I am not doing the nail varnish any justice.) This colour is defiantly my favourite from this collection though. It has a real starry night effect and would great on a night out.
I really like her nail varnish's, I have talked about her 'Fearns Perfect Polish' collection in my very first real post :). You can find out more about this collection here.
Hey
So heres my second post for today and its a Review on John Frieda Frizz-Ease shampoo, conditioner and Extra strength formula Hair Serum which I received yesterday.
Full Review:
So I washed my hair with these products yesterday and I have to say I really liked them, and I think that it really worked well with my hair and gave me great results. The shampoo, Isn't sulphate free, which is something i usually look out for when buying shampoo's, however It was very moisturising and did not dry out my hair. Its really light, smells gorgeous and really lathers up :). I only did one wash and my hair felt very clean and surprisingly tangle free. The conditioner, like the shampoo this smelt really nice. This was also very light and a little goes a long way. It left my hair very fluffy and seemed to get rid of quite a lot of the frizz. The serum, I think this worked really well, it moisturised my hair left it felling very soft and seemed to get rid of alot of the frizz whilst I was blow drying it out. It also allowed me to flat iron my hair in less strokes and it stayed frizz-free all day, and i haven't had to redo it today. My Results
So I was on BBC Iplayer catching up on Eastenders today, since I'm never home to watch it on telly. But from watching this weeks episode I couldnt help realises that they seem to have the worst outfits ever. So I decided to have a nose around at what most of the girls wear outside of the show and they actually look quite nice. So thats gave me the idea for this 'Eastenders: Style wars' post lol.
So the contestants are
Jacqueline Jossa who plays Lauren Branning
Shona McGarty who plays Whitney Dean
Hetti Baywater who plays Lucy Beale
Danielle Harold who plays Lola Pearce (mitchelle)
Jacqueline Jose 1/2/3/4/ Shona McGarty 1/2/3/4/ Hetti Bywatter 1/2/3/4/ Danielle Harold 1/2/3/4
Its not really a great sense of their style as most of the pics are of them going to award shows but who do you think has the best style?
So heres my NOTD, I started of with just the Berry colour then I decided to get a little bit more creative.
Im quite pleased with my floral attempt :)
A do think it looked better without the glitter doe, Oh well Trail and Error lol
What I used
Base: La Colors, Nail Lacqurer - Berry (NP308) / Glitter: La Colors, color craze - Jewel tone (NP447) / White: Hollywood Nail art Pen / Green: Daisy Nail Art - Green
Im actually quite pleased with these floral prints. I think i work best when I dont plan it lol. I didn't even attempt to do it on my right hand, that just has the base and glitter lol. I hope everyone is having a great day so far, And I hope you all have a fun & safe Bonfire Night
