Light Up Christmas Decorations

I am such a huge fan of cute Christmas decorations especially when they light up. So, these colour changing decorations from Marks & Spencer were a must for my family this year. They were three for two which made them a total bargain.

We have had cute decorations like this before and they have been great for lighting up the dining table on Christmas Day. They are also so lovely on the mantelpiece when you are chilling around the Christmas tree with your family watching a film. I think I will take a couple of the fibre optic Christmas trees to work for my desk.

What do you guys think about these decorations? Have you bought any of these this year? I would love to hear from you!

Christmas Snowflake Decorations

How beautiful is this snowflake Christmas decoration? My mum discovered these in John Lewis and bought a couple of them as she knew I would love them. I was so excited when she showed me them.

I absolutely love how pretty and sparkly they are. I tried to take photos that would do them justice but I'm not sure you can see just how amazing they are.

I think these must be some of the most gorgeous Christmas decorations that we have ever owned!

What do you guys think of this snowflake decoration? Have you bought any new Christmas decorations this year? I would love to hear from you!

Nails Inc's Beaumont Mews Dotty Polish

Nails Inc's Beaumont Mews Dotty Polish is a super cute pink and blue matte glitter polish. I have paired it with a pastel blue polish and I think it looks really pretty. 

Beaumont Mews applied really nicely and fairly evenly with a little bit of strategic matte glitter placement. It dried quickly and smoothly as well as being really hard wearing. 

I think this is a great polish for someone who would like something a little bit different. 

What do you guys think of Nails Inc's Beaumont Mews Dotty Polish? Do you have any other polishes similar to this one? I love hearing from you guys!

NOTD: Green Holographic & Yellow Glitter

I really liked wearing this polish combination. I'm wearing Color Club's Angel Kiss green holographic polish with MAC's Fashion Fizz glitter polish on one nail. I really wasn't sure if this combination would work but it was actually really nice.

What do you guys think about this combination? Is it something that you would wear on your nails? Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below!

Nails Inc's Upper Berkeley Street Dotty Polish

Nails Inc's Upper Berkeley Street polish is from the Dotty Collection. It is a really unusual bright pink, light pink and peach matte glitter polish. I have teamed it up with a gold shimmery polish and I think it looks awesome. 

Upper Berkeley Street polish applied really nicely and wasn't too thick or too thin. As always I did a bit of strategic matte glitter placement. This polish lasted well and was hard wearing. 

I really love this polish combination! What do you guys think about Nails Inc's Upper Berkeley Street polish? I would love to hear what you guys think!

Nails Inc's Roseway Gingham Polish

Nails Inc's Roseway is a really cool pink & white Gingham Polish. Its so pink and white matte glitter particles create a really cool gingham effect as they are square. I think that is such a cool idea. 

I painted Roseway over a blue polish which actually looks more purple with the pink & white gingham particles. I love this effect! I think it is so unique.

This polish applied really nicely with a little bit of strategic matte glitter particle placement. I find that toothpicks are great for this. The formula of this polish is really nice and so is the brush.  It lasted pretty well on my nails and the matte glitter is hard wearing.

What do you guys think about this polish? Have you tried it before? Do you like the look of the gingham effect?

MAC Beauty Haul

I am rather excited to say that a few weeks ago I visited my local MAC store for the first time as I wanted to buy some of their amazing glitter nail polish for my friends birthdays.  I managed to purchase the polishes but I also picked up a few treats for myself.

I have been looking for an eyebrow setting gel for ages because my brows are a bit crazy so I decided to try MAC's Brow Set Gel. 

I was having trouble with my MAC eyeshadows so a very helpful shop assistant advised trying their Pro Longwear Paint Pot. I bought the shade Painterly.

My favourite face powder has been discontinued so I decided to try MAC's Transparent Finishing Powder. I have never actually used a transparent power to set my make up before.

When I found out that MAC's Extra Dimension Eye Shadows were creamier than their normal shadows I knew I had to try one. I chose Sweet Heat and have literally been wearing it ever since. 

The blusher was actually my Mum's but she decided that she would never wear it so she gave it to me. That means that I am now the proud owner of a pretty MAC blush.

I would love to hear from you if you have used any of these MAC products before! Or have you been hoping to try any of these in the future?

Topshop's Caught Your Eye Polish

Topshop's Caught Your Eye polish is a gorgeous pale duck egg blue shade. I am always attracted to pale pastel blue polishes like this. I find it so hard to resist them.

This polish is extremely pretty and has a great formula which glides on smoothly to the nails. I love how well pigmented this polish is and my nails were totally opaque and streak free  after two coats of polish. I also really love the polish brush-it works so well with the formula. I found that this polish dries quickly and it is very hard wearing!

Overall, I think this polish is great! What do you think about Topshop's Caught Your Eye Polish? Have you tried it before? Let me know in the comments section.

NOTD: Silver Holographic & Blue Glitter

I really loved wearing this nail polish combination. The silver holographic polish is Blue Heaven by Color Club and the Blue Glitter Strands Polish is Sparkledust by MAC. The hint of blue in the silver holographic polish goes extremely well with Sparkledust.

What do you guys think? Do you like this nail polish combo? I would love to hear your thoughts!

Essie's Chills & Thrills Polish

Essie's Chills & Thrills Polish is a striking medium blue polish with a matte appearance. I love blue nail polish and I wear it all year round but I think this polish is great for autumn/winter if you still want to wear blue polish.

I love Essie's polish formula. It applies really nicely as the formula is super smooth. I only used two coats of this polish to achieve the look of totally opaque nails. It dries pretty quickly and can last up to a week without chipping

I think Essie's Chills & Thrills polish is awesome. What do you think about this polish?Have you tried this polish before?

Topshop's Heart Of Gold Polish

Topshop's Heart Of Gold Polish is a lovely metallic yellow gold polish. I love a good old metallic gold polish. They are always so pretty and can be used for creating some shimmery nail art.  

Heart Of Gold has a gorgeous smooth and highly pigmented formula which glides on beautifully to the nails. My nails were opaque and totally streak free after two coats of polish which is excellent. I love how fast drying this polish is and it has a super sleek finish. Use a good base and top coat and this polish will last for ages without chipping.

What do you think about Topshop's Heart Of Gold Polish? Are you a fan of metallic nail polish? It would be great to hear your thoughts! 

Mindy Kaling "Why Not Me?"

I was so excited when I found out that Mindy Kaling had a new book coming out called "Why Not Me?". I love the lady herself and I read her first book a few months ago and thought it was great. I knew there was high a chance that I would love her new offering. And I did. Actually I loved it so much more than her first book. It is one of the best books I have ever read.

In "Why Not Me?" Mindy shares so many hilarious and interesting stories about herself and her experiences. Just about all of them made me chuckle to myself. I was so interested I just couldn't stop reading. I really do think it was more entertaining than her first book!

There are so many amazing stories in this book that I don't want to spoil for you but there is one in particular about Barack Obama and a member of staff which you have to read. I don't want to go into detail about this story as I think YOU NEED TO READ IT!

I highly recommend this book especially if you watch The Mindy Project. I think you would benefit from knowing what Mindy's speaking voice sounds like.

I give this book 100 marks out of 10-that is how much I loved it. It's definitely one to put on your Christmas list.

Have you guys read Mindy Kaling's book "Why Not Me?" ? Is it something you would like to read? I would love to know!

Nails Inc's Meadow Bank Gingham Polish

Ooh I have been looking forward to showing you Nails Inc's Meadow Bank Gingham Polish for a while because it is so cool. I mean this looks so awesome right?! I am wearing this polish over Topshop's Green Room and I think the colour combination gives it that extra bit of edge. It's quite a bold, geometric look and thats why I love it. 

This polish is part of the Gingham Collection so it consists of square matte glitter particles of differing sizes. The square particles are white and yellow.

Meadow Bank was lovely to apply but I definitely did some strategic matte glitter particle placement. It dries quickly and if you use a good topcoat will last well.

Overall, I think this is such a unique and versatile polish. If you are looking for something a little bit more unique I would highly recommend this polish.

What are your thoughts on Nails Inc's Meadow Bank Gingham Polish? Is it something that you would like to try? I'd love to hear from you!

NOTD: Holographic Pink With Glitter

What do you guys think of this nail polish combination? I'm wearing Color Club's Miss Bliss Holographic Polish together with MAC's Quick Million Glitter Polish. I have been loving wearing holographic and glitter polish at the same time. I think it looks so cool and sparkly. 

Let me know what you think in the comments section!

Nails Inc's Belsize Mews Gingham Polish

Nails Inc's Belsize Mews is a super cool blue  and white matte glitter polish from their Gingham Collection. As this polish creates a gingham effect on the nails the matte glitter particles are square and differing sizes. In this polish the matte square glitter particles are deep blue, medium blue and white.

I think this is such a cool idea for a nail

Polish range. I have painted Belsize Mews over a pink polish and I think that it looks great. 

Belsize Mews has a great formula and it was easy enough to spread the square particles over my nails evenly. Of course I did do a little bit of strategic matte glitter particle placement. This polish dries quite quickly and smoothly which is great!

Overall, I love the effect of Nails Inc's Belsize Mews Gingham polish. 

What do you think of this polish? Is it something you would like to try? Let me know!

Essie's Serial Shopper Polish

Essie's Serial Shopper Polish is a gorgeous peachy coral shade. I don't own many coral polishes so I like that this one can brighten up my nail polish life with its beauty.

There is something so special about Essie polishes and Serial Shopper just confirmed that notion even more. The formula of Serial Shopper is absolutely lovely and it applies really well to the nails. I found two coats of this polish was enough for my nails to be totally streak free. This polish dries quite fast and easily lasts for a week on my nails.

I definitely think that I will be wearing coral nail polish more often now that I have Serial Shopper in my life.

What do you guys think about Essie's Serial Shopper polish? Do you have this polish? What are your thoughts on it?:)

Karren Brady's Biography

I bought Karren Brady's book Strong Woman: The Truth About Getting To The Top because I think that she is brilliant on The Apprentice. I was so happy that her book was as interesting and insightful as I had hoped that it would be.

Karren writes a lot about her childhood and how she worked her way up the ranks to become a successful business woman. She also gives her thoughts on what you need to do to be successful in business which was really interesting. She does talk about the years she spent working for football clubs but don't be put off-it's actually so cool to find out about it from her perspective.

It is great that she has also written about her early years on The Apprentice and explains some of the behind the scenes details. 

If you are interested in what it takes to become a successful business woman or if you are interested in Karren's life this book is definitely worth reading. I loved it.

Have any of you read Karren Brady's book? Would you like to? I would love to know what you think!

Topshop's Old Gal Polish

Topshop's Old Gal Polish is an awesome shade of lavender which I adore. This is one of my all time favourite colours so when I saw this polish I knew I had to purchase it.

Old Gal gets nothing but a glowing review from me. Topshop certainly have not disappointed me. The formula of this polish is amazingly beautiful. It glides onto the nails so smoothly with the excellent brush which makes painting your nails very enjoyable. The polish is also super pigmented and just the right consistency. I used two coats of this polish for total opacity. Old Gal dries really quickly too and is very hard wearing.

Ah I am in awe of this flawless polish. What do you guys think about Topshop's Old Gal Polish? Have you tried Topshop nail polish before? I would love to know what you think! 

NOTD: Holographic Blue With Glitter

I am wearing Color Club's Over The Moon Holographic Blue Polish in this photo with MAC's Special Potion glitter nail polish on one nail. I really love both of these polishes and think that they are both pretty spectacular. I think they make a great polish combo!

What do you guys think? Do you think that these polishes go well together? Let me know what to your thoughts!
