Some New Things

Although most of my shopping of late has been Christmas presents, amongst that i picked up a few little bits...

The Sleek Sparkle pallete. I wasn't really taken with this but inexplicably bought it anyway. I think i had the urge to complete my collection, and well, it's glittery! Time will tell, but i'm not sure about it yet.

I'm in love with the 'Runway collection' of jewellery at Next. Big, chunky, sparkly, strange... exactly what i look for in accessories. The necklace is MASSIVE!!

Nail polish from Models Own, and Eyeko

A No.7 Bronzer gift set. I fell for the adorable packaging, but the kabuki is amazingly soft and effective. The powders are different themed bronzers- a highlighting bronzer, a blush/bronzer mosaic, and a bronzer duo. Would make a lovely gift.

And finally some Irresistable Hello Kitty lip balms from H&M. Irresistable,that is if like me you are obsessed with both lip balms and Hello Kitty.

A Little Review of Eyeko Disco Polish

I love Eyeko nail polishes! Mainly because of the super kawaii bottles, and cute names. The fact that they cost £1.99 is also a cheeky bonus. I hadn't tried the Disco Polish before. I'm always on the lookout for a good glitter nail polish. Every one i've tried has been a disappointment, leaving the slightest hint of a few specks of glitter after endless coats.

So the Disco Polish... i thought i'd paint my nail with Barry M's black nail paint as a base so the glitter would hopefully show up more. One coat of Disco Polish later and i was stunned (in a good way!) This polish is so densely packed with glitter! I needn't have bothered with a base coat as you could barely see it through the sheet of glitter. Afterwards i painted my sisters nails with just this and it worked really well :)

I finished it with a clear top coat and a week later it was only just starting to chip. Great product- super sparkly, and great value.

Overall 5/5

Another Day, Another Spree...

Sunday night, internet shopping for Christmas presents in my pyjamas, with the fire going and a big mug of coffee. Perfect! And that's what i did last Sunday night. Amongst all the present buying i couldn't help but cheekily add a few things for myself :)

Firstly at ASOS i bought a steamcream in Liberty (£10). In all honesty the thing that made me want to buy this moisturiser was the supercute tins they come in. I had trouble deciding between this one and the lepeord print one. Next i got the Dainty Doll eyeshadow & blush gift set (£12) I've been wanting to try this make up range for a long time. As well as that i got an Anatomicals Snog Me Senseless Minty Lipbalm (£2.50) i love their stuff! And lastly i ordered the Eyeko 3 nailpolish set (£5) which is amazing value considering they are £3 each. In the set is the Vintage Polish, Cosmic Polish, and the Indigo Polish. All lovely.

At the Elf website i bought a cream shadow in Blueberry (1.50) these work well as a cheap eyeshadow base. An Elf Studio Complexion Perfection compact, An Elf Studio Lip stain, a brow treat and tame, and a brow lifter and filler (all £3.50 each). Because i spent over £25 i also got a make up gift set free, which i think will make a nice little Christmas present.

I took a little trip to Suerdrug today, and found out they have a 3 for 2 offer on all their make up. Seeing as Christmas is on its way i thought this was a great oportunity to stock up on plenty of glitter and sparkle! I got:

• Sleek eye dust in green with envy £2.99
• Sleek eye dust in inferno £2.99
• Sleek blush in Pixie Pink £3.29
• Collection 2000 Glam Crystals eyeliner in gold £2.99
• Sleek all that glitters pot in Gold £3.99
• Sleek all that glitters pot in Cranberry £3.99

With a nice saving of £6.28.

The Sleek All That Glitter pots are a new product brought out for Christmas. They are cute little boxed products of a glittery moussey gel that can be used to add glitter to eyes, lips, face etc.. and come in 3 colours- Silver, Gold, and Cramberry. I recommend the Cramberry in particular which is a beautiful hot pink. They are a nice little novelty that would make a good stocking filler.

My Wish List

I have been doing pretty well with my self imposed spending ban, but i'm getting increasingly frustrated not being able to buy anything and especially watching the Style Black collection come and go. So to cheer myself up i thought i'd create a wish list.

If someone gave me a couple of grand and said i had to spend it instantly (i wish) this is perhaps what i'd buy:

MAC lipglass set from the soon to be released holiday collection
MAC Baroque Boudoir collection (it all looks beatiful)

AOFM Make Up is Art book

Chanel necklace

Eyeko nail polish

Estee Lauder Ulitimate Red Collection (particularly that lovely highlight compact)

Dior Addict 2

Chanel bag

Chanel 'double c' earrings

Benefit Georgia blush

Urban Decay 24/7 super stash liners

That was almost as fun as shopping... kind of. (^_^)
