Party Nails!

I think i must be very very late to the sparkly nail products out there, i just didn't think they would work and be to hard to put on. Well, all that has changed! I found these in boots and as the Colour Show ones were on 3 for 2 i thought why not. I sometimes get very frustrated with nail varnish, I'm not the best at putting it on and it annoys me when a brand new nail varnish is (technical term...) 'Gloopy' and streaky. Just why make nail varnish like that?! grrr. Anyway, the two barry M varnishes, although being two very different colours are fantastic, one coat and thats all i need. It dries really quick and nicely. The almost gel finish means they are super strong and with a good top coat last 4 or 5 days without a chip (amazing for me). The colour shows are basically clear nail varnishes with small sequins in- but! - it is soooo effective i am surprised how good and easy to put on these are. My favourite has got to be the purple, white and blue one over the red barry M.

Please tell me whats currently your favourite nail varnish in the comment box below and thanks for reading. I feel like i am finally getting back into blogging, which makes me so happy =D

Festive candles and decorations

Hi! I thought i would share with you what above the fire looks like! I just couldn't resist the little fox on the right, he was £3 from The Range. The white stag and tea light house was from Wilkos for £8 each. The house reminded me of the home button on my blog, so i just had to get it! The big candle in the middle i bought last year from Next for £10, it has three wicks which i like as it burns evenly. The little candle is the latest purchase, it came in a set of yankee candles which are all christmas scents. It just looks so cute and smell lovely.

Thank you for reading, let me know which is your favourite from the above!

New Sofas!

Hi there! We waited ages and ages for the sofas to arrive, we got two, they look the same just ones a smidgin smaller so i just thought i would show you the bigger 3 seater (Declan was sitting on the other one anyway and i didn't think he would appreciate being moved or having a close up!)

Ive forgotten what its called, but its on the homepage of Sofa works. I went with the grey as it goes very nicely in our red lounge and if we did want to change the colour it wouldn't clash.

The floor lamp was from B&Q for £79 in the sale, i love this lamp, it has so much style.

The throw was from Dunelm for under £10 and its so soft and snuggly, perfect for chilly evenings. The yellow cushions were also from Dunelm for under £8 each, they feel really good quality for the price, i just love this colour to go with the grey sofas. The other cushions i bought from John Lewis and i actually bought these before we ordered the sofa i loved them so much! They were more expensive but I'm hoping they will last for a long time as they are feather ones. The furry one is just a great size to make me sit up straight when I'm on my Mac for hours, like i am now!

I hope you like it, we have waited a long time to have a sofa that is new so I'm so very happy with them.

Thanks for reading, do share your links below and i'll go take look!

Christmas Makeup

 Excuse the paleness, i took this last night before i went to bed so my face is a little shiny... i just wanted to share what I've been obsessed for most of the last month!

First things first... eyeshadow, i picked this up from boots. Its from lovely L'oreal, these shades are perfect for this time of year when i like to wear a little sparkle. Its so easy to blend the shades to create that smoky sparkle eye that everyone wants! I do find i need to add quite a lot on to build it up but once its on it really stays. Ive been wearing it in the day time too with just the darker shades and the highlighter shade.

 Ive never bought the Kate lipsticks before, but i thought i would give them ago since I've heard amazing things about them. I have mixed feelings on this one to be honest, don't get me wrong i still really like it-its a fantastic strong colour and moisturising on the lips so i don't need anything on top too. But, i don't know whether its just me been cack handed but i cannot for the life of me get this to stay on my lips! It ends up everywhere! It just smudges too easily and i would be worried about having a Miranda face issue if i was to wear it on a night out...which is a shame as do love this colour. Have you tried it? Let me know if you have!

 Apocalips! Now, i have fallen in love with this. Its another product i have been meaning to try but just haven't got around to buying it. Its quite thick in consistancy which i think makes it easy to put on- a quick swoop of this and your lips transform. Its a beautiful colour and matches the Kate lip stick so i have been adding this on top to add that extra shiny. I have a weakness for lip products especially red ones! I was a bit worried it may look a bit much with it been quite dark but... i like it a lot. I will probably buy another shade, do any of you have a favourite?

Thanks so much for reading and please leave a comment.

Christmas Tree Decorations

Evening lovelies, this year i decided we needed a theme for the christmas tree decorations. So after searching many many shops, yesterday i think I've found some cute ones. Mostly, i think the theme is woodland creatures, with a bit of red and silver. Which isn't really a theme is it?! Looks nice though!


We popped to The Range today, haven't been there before as the closet shop is about 40 mins away, but i found it great for cheap decorations. Everything was a couple of pounds each in there...went a bit crazy on the cute animals didn't i...

A couple of things were from Dunelm, the deer i think was, the set of dotty ball balls and hearts. Very similar decorations are in Wilkos which is where i bought the battery lights from at £3! Bargain. Smiles all round. I just need to get some chocolate coins.

I can't wait for Christmas!

A cold November morning

A big Welcome back to you lovely people who haven't lost all hope for more posts from me! I have been rather busy, and slightly lost the blogging feeling. Didn't take long did it. It wasn't because i got bored of writing, just sometimes i don't think i have that much to post about, that i may not be the best i can be. That annoys me, and so i just haven't done anything. Which, is lazy. But, i am back, i promise. Ive just taken lots and lots of pictures, so I've got to put them somewhere haven't i?!

Last weekend, as my parents were away we (the royal 'we') checked in on their doggie, Millie. This is a treat for me as i grew up with her and we don't have a dog. We got her as tiny puppy when i was about 14 and i took her to puppy classes and agility, so she's very special. I just love this time of year, the mornings are bright and crisp with magical sunlight.
