NUDE NOTD

Hey Dolls,
So today I've decided to go for a Nude NOTD

Peachy Keen, Nude, with matte top coat

I know I said at the beginning of the year that I was going to get out of my comfort zone and be more adventurous but I think this is clearly the total opposite lol. I love this look now though, I think it has a professional look. The nude colour with the matte finish definatly make me feel more grown up :), I usually get rounded acrylics but I feel asthough the squared ones look alot more realistic now aswell, at least that's a change.

What do you guys prefer round or square?

SELFIE STICK :D

But first let me take a selfie......

Hey dolls
Happy Saturday!!!!! So, as you can tell I fell into the craze and brought a selfie stick x_x, I tried not to but they looked so fun and I can tell you I'm loving it. I just need to work on posing correctly so the pole doesn't get in my picture.

Universal 1/4 screw | Weight 500g | Close 20cm - Extended 97cm 

So I brought mine off of ebay for £6.98. It's a 7 part stick that strectches out to nearly a meter, and onto of it a universal 1/4 screw so that it can attach to any camera, or you can use the phone attachment bracket to place your phone into it, which is so useful as I mostly take picture on my phone. It also comes with a handy little bluetooth remote that allows you to take the pictures while your phone is a meter away. It's so easy to use and you can get some great angles.

Has anyone else tried one of these?

Have a good weekend everyone

Ever After - Matte Palette | Review ★☆☆☆☆

Hey Dolls, 

So todays post is going to be a review on a MUA palette i picked up a few weeks ago.

So I brought the Ever After Matte palette, which supposedly meant to help you create 'a variety of looks from subtle & natural to smokey & glam. Well after doing the swatches I guess it's safe to say for £4, you get what you pay for.

 The top lighter colours didn't seem to have much pigmentation, I had to pick up alot of product (with the cheap useless double headed applicator included in the pack) to make these swatches. And to me personally they all look nearly exactly the same. Maybe it just doesn't work on my skin tone?
The second layer however did have a bit more pigmentation, and I did like the look of Penny, truffle and smoke shades. But 3 out of 10 isn't something to celebrate. Hopefully I may be able to use some of the shades as a base, I'll just need to play around with it and see what I come up with.

I guess I was slightly disappointed as I had used their Heaven on Earth palette before in the past and loved the product. Not only was it only £1 back then but It was well pigmented and easy to apply and blend with other shadows.

Verdict

Slightly Disappointed - ★☆☆☆☆

Has anyone else tried any MUA eyeshadow palette's?

Take care

Rusty Red and Flower Print | New purchases

Hey dolls
I went shopping today to get a new purse, as my old one was well retired. While I was out there I ended up buying a new bag as well (because you can never have enough). I love them so much so wanted to come down and share my purchases :)
So heres my very mini haul

Purse: £5.99 from Stradivarius
Bag: £18 from Peacocks

Purse - Stradivarius

Bag - Peacocks

So far I'm loving my purchase's. The bag is a little smaller than I'm used to but I loved the colour and shape so couldn't resist. I'm loving the water colour floral print on the purse as well, It helps make me think of spring during this cold winter season. Why not add a bit of colour to winter :)

Winter NOTD | Stuck in my comfortzone -_-

Hey dolls
My first post of 2015!!!! :D, I hope everyone had a great Christmas, and Happy New year.

So here's a look at my nails I've been rocking the last 2 weeks over the Christmas holidays. Its just a warm purple with a white sparkle accent nail.

I think this has become my easy go to NOTD. I looked back on my others and its a mix between Christmas 2013's NOTD and April 2014 NOTD. I think I'm going to be a bit more adventurous this year. I've been practicing on my nail art, but unfortunately I cant wear to many pattern at work :(, but i definatly will be trying to come out of my comfort zone this year.

Does anyone have any great work appropriate idea's?

Take care
