Blogmas day 3 ~ Festive nail polish looks

Hello everybody and welcome to blogmas day 3! Today I have a festive nail polish look for you all.

So to get a festive nail look I stayed classic with a red all over my nail and my index finger silver glittery.

Base Coat
I normally always use a basecoat to protect my natural nails and today I used a Barry m base and top coat all over my nails.

colour 1
So for my colour 1 I used a red colour all over my nails this keeps in the theme of a Christmas colour. I used the rimmel 60 second nail polish In the shade 310 red carpet which is very fast drying and I love it.

colour 2
For colour two I used Maybelline silver glitter  from their colour show line in the shade 293. I used this on my index finger this adds more festivity to the look and makes it look really pretty and still traditional/classic.
You can also do this with gold or green glitter any Christmas coloured glitters !

Here is a lovely little pic of the nail polishes used apart from the base coat which I left upstairs !

Cute Cosy Outfit

Hello everybody, todays post is going to be a outfit that is suitable for the autumn winter time.
This is the outfit I am wearing for Christmas lights switch on.
This is sort of a short ootd post so here we go.

For my jeans I am wearing the petite skinny's in blue from next im not quite sure what they are called at next but they have loads of different colours and I did get them this year. They are really nice and I love these this year.

For my top I am wearing a Abercrombie and Fitch top which is grey with a white deer on I actually picked this up in the usa a year ago so im not sure if they still sell it. Abercrombie tops are so comfortable and reasonably priced.

Over my top I am wearing a black jumper from new look this was £7.99 in the basic section. It is fluffy and knitted it is very autumnal and jumpers are lovely in the autumn. I did get it a size up so its oversized and cosy. It also has slits in the side which are very fashionable and spice up the jumpers look.

Then I am wearing my checked scarf from Primark this was £5 and its a blanket scarf it is so big cosy and fluffy. It just spices up any outfit whilst keeping you warm (which is a bonus).

On my feet I have my black Nikes which are getting old now but I do love them they are so comfy.


So that's my outfit I hope you liked this post it was a bit different and next Wednesday at 6:30 is my next post about blogmas its all the info you need to know about it.

Lots of love

My favourite eyeshadow look // autumn

Hello everybody, today I have quite a short post about my favourite eyeshadow look lately. I use 5 products to achieve my eyeshadow look.


Firstly I use an eyeshadow primer on my eyelids or even concealer all works the same. This helps eyeshadow to stay on your eyelids and not slide off  especially if you have oily eyelids.

The base to my eyeshadow is the nyx eyeshadow stick in almond this is the perfect brown colour for autumn. I use this all over my eyelids to get the perfect brown.

Then I use a glitter roll on from nyx in the shade walnut I use this all over my lid on top of the eyeshadow base. I apply this with a brush which is a fluffy blending brush.

Next I use a darker brown from bare minerals to smoke out my crease and blend it all out with a fluffy brush.

Finally I use mac soft and gentle skin finish with a crease brush in my inner corner. I know this is for highlight but it looks gorgeous in the inner corner with this eye look.

Latley I have been loving a glittery eye and this is why I bought the mac holiday gold pigment collection it is gorgeous and was £26.

I hope you enjoyed this short post

lots of love

Mac and Cosmetics Company Store Haul !

Hello everybody, todays post is going to be a small makeup haul mostly from mac cosmetics and the cosmetics company store I visited they have these dotted around and there are some in us and uk outlet centres.

The things I got from the actual mac cosmetics store is firstly the mac mineralize skin finish in soft and gentle this is absolutely gorgeous and gives off a beautiful shimmery highlighter. This highlighter is definitely made towards warmer skin tones unlike macs lightscapade highlighter that is probably best for lighter complexions.
The soft and gentle was £24.50.





Next thing I got at mac was a sample of there strobe cream which is amazing and is so multi functional. You can use this all over your face as a highlighting moisturizer before the application of makeup. Or use this under a highlighter to make it pop even more and add more highlight to your cheekbones.

All the things I have next are from the cco outlet. The cco sells mac, Bobbi brown, Estee lauder, smash box,Clinique etc.They are all companies owned by Estee Lauder and are sold at discounted prices at the cco outlet stores.
Sometimes the products are ones that don't sell but sometimes they have really good items. The makeup is never damaged or used and is brand new. Sometimes they sell mac collections from a while ago brand new at amazing prices, this is why I love the cco.

The first thing I got from the cco was a mac Cinderella fluid line in the shade little black bow as I said they sell the old mac collections brand new. So the Cinderella collection released at mac in march and unfortunately I wasn't able to get my hands on anything. After desperately searching depop, amazon and everything I could I found this at the cco I was so excited.

It is so nice and beautiful and I paid £12 for it when the retail was £17 so I was very very happy!



The next thing I bought was the smash box on the rocks 2014 holiday lip gloss set. This set includes five lip glosses named below in the picture. I love the formula of these lip glosses and the applicator is so soft for applying these lip glosses.

The are quite a range of shades for the set which is really nice as you can use the different shades through the seasons etc. These were £13.50 in the cco and when they were released in December 2014 they were £20.



The last thing I bought was a mac mineralize eyeshadow quad in the shade petal pate this is a beautiful mineralize sort of baked looking eyeshadow quad. They are all beautiful shades and I think this retails at £17.50 ( it didn't say on the price sticker) I got it for £12 which was a bargain.



That is it for the haul today I hope you enjoyed it I absolutely love the cco and everything was an absolute bargain.My mac highlighter is beautiful and everything was purchased out of my own money.

Hope you enjoyed reading this post and there will be a new post on Wednesday at 6:30.

lots of love
