NEW FOR SPRING/SUMMER

 Urban Decay Electric Palette - c/o Debehams, Estée Lauder Beautiful Perfume, Sparkly Headband - Primark

Now, whilst making an attempt at this blogging lark, I do sometimes acquire products that I want to talk about, but don't really fit anywhere. I guess that's why I started YouTube, so I could have a little rant on about all the random bits & bobs I want to have a natter with you about! As three things isn't really enough to roll into a whole video (even I can't stretch out talking crap for that long), I've done a little S/S round up of newness. Nothing major, just a few thingymabobbys that you might want a peek at.

 Firstly, that scary looking Urban Decay palette. I say scary looking, not because it isn't completely beautiful, but as a loyal neutrals gal, this is me stepping out of my comfort zone. In fact, stepping is an understatement, hurdling would be more appropriate. I've actually really enjoyed playing with it and getting back into enjoying doing make up. I've mainly just added a teeny bit of the bright colours to do something  bit different.. a swish of that warm orange in the crease or silver for a highlight, nothing too crazy y'know. Maybe I'll try something really bold on a filming day - the result could be interesting.

 More newness for summer includes glitzy accessories and my favourite Estée Lauder fragrance. I've since replaced that near empty bottle of 'Beautiful' (it's lush, but I'm not even going to try explaining a perfume to you!) and Primark came up with some sparkly goodies perfect for updating my accessories collection. I've been wearing them just around my head in hope that I'm going to look half as cool as Sienna circa festival season - I don't. Hey ho, what can ya do?!

THREE LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS PARTY DRESSES

Image
Who isn’t a lover of a sparkly frock?! Okay, plenty of people, but even though I spend my life in all black, I’m still a fan of something glitzy. Christmas is a whole other ball game, and finding the perfect dress not only involves sourcing something occasion appropriate that suits you, but also something that feels a little festive. It’s not like red with a white fur trim is a must, but I do like something that makes me feel Christmassy… I can wear a bog standard LBD at any point in the year! For last minute options I’ve got three super sparkly numbers that can help you up the glam levels at the Christmas do. Motel Rocks Finn Slip Dress Okay, this is my most naaakud. It’s Christmas though, and if you can’t flash a bit of side boob at Christmas when can you?! Yup, you’re going to freeze your nips off, but you’re going to look like the twinkly star of Bethlehem on your night out. For dressing it down a little I think it’s perfect worn with a leather jacket and ankle boots....

PERSONAL SHOPPING AT TOPSHOP | PARTY OUTFIT IDEAS

Image
Party season is the moooost wonderful time of the year, so when Topshop invited me in to check out their personal shopping service I was more than excited. As much as I love getting dolled up, I find the whole process of outfit hunting stressful – I’m pretty particular, so it usually takes me forever! Not only that, but I got to try the personal shopper experience in Topshop at Meadowhall… I love anything that’s blogging related and local! It’s nice to know that the rest of the country hasn’t been forgotten about, and we can all have an extra special shopping treat. I’ve been to a couple of personal shopping events before, and the team at Topshop didn’t disappoint! I was greeted with some dream boat outfits that the lovely Kirby, my personal stylist, had picked out for me. She found me so many pieces that were just my sort of thing! That’s all part of the service - you just give them a call, let them know what you’re after, tell them your size and they’ll do all the faffy...

BLACK FRIDAY DEALS AT BEAUTY BAY

Image
My kind of Black Friday deal involves makeup, and this year  Beauty Bay  is delivering all the deals.... Ummm, hello up to 30% off some of my favourite beauty brands!! To kick off the Black Friday weekend, Beauty Bay will be having one of its biggest sales to date, with some of the best beauty names on offer, including LA Girl, Kevyn Aucoin, Mario Badescu and Alpha-H. To celebrate all the discounted makeup goodness I’ve picked out my top picks to share with you… Yup, that’s Gerard Cosmetics and Lime Crime in there! I’m super excited to see both brands on offer – I’m so obsessed with matte, liquid lipsticks and these are both shades I’ll wear on repeat. I’ve used a few of the Gerard Cosmetics  Hydra Matte Liquid Lipsticks  before, so I knew I’d be sold on ‘Everything Nice’ – it’s just a really lovely pink for daytime and evenings. Lime Crime I’d not used before, but I’d always wanted to give the  Velvetines  a go… A discount on these was too good ...
