NOTD | Bronze & Gold

Here is another NOTD, I am getting into the swing of things with my NOTD. I really like doing these as I love looking at other peoples as well. Also this is pretty late this one because I have changed my nail polish already. But I am sure you won't mind.
 
The two nail polishes I have used are an unbranded gold and Maybelline colour show brick shimmer. I though this was a pretty good nail look. Until the gold nail polish just chipped off the whole time. It was pretty annoying as even if you just knocked it. It would flake off. I love the Maybelline colours shows also, seeing as they have got such a good colour range. I would get so many more colours.

Wishlist #56

Here is another wishlist for you guys. These posts seem to be coming round quicker and quicker each week. Where is this year going? It is almost Christmas. It's all going way to fast for my liking.
 
 
Products Mentioned:
1. Essie - Nail Polish - Lovie Dovie - £7.99
2. Sleek - Eyeshadow Palette - Sunset - £7.99
3. Soap and Glory - The Righteous Butter - £10.50
 
Why I want these products?
1. Essie - Nail Polish - Lovie Dovie - This nail polish is such a gorgeous colour. I probably don't need any more pink nail polishes. But I really don't care because you can't have enough of pink nail polishes in your collection do you. Well that is what I say.
 
2. Sleek - Eyeshadow Palette - Sunset - This is a gorgeous palette, I love the colour of it. I think this is such a autumn colour. This is so amazing, the only problem is I probably wouldn't use the blue colour or the yellow but that of course if personal preferences.
 
3. Soap and Glory - The Righteous Butter - This is probably one of the most talked about body butters on here. This is something I really want to go and get even though the price is pretty terrible for just a body butter.

TAG | The Christmas Tag

Seeing as Christmas is coming soon I thought I would do the Christmas tag that was going around. So here we go this is the Christmas tag!
Enjoy.

1.  Do you prefer a real Christmas tree or synthetic?
I have only ever had a synthetic Christmas tree, so to be honest I know no different in Christmas trees. I like synthetic Christmas trees seeing as I have a cat, I'm pretty sure he would eat it.

2.  You're in a coffee shop, it's December, what do you pick?
Ermmmm, I don't like this question just based on the fact that I hate coffee. So I never go into Starbucks or Costa Coffee. So that isn't a good question to ask. I like tea that is as far as hot drinks are going.

3.  Whats your favourite colour scheme for decorating the tree?
Well I have got quite a cute Christmas tree. It has got multi-coloured lights on which are currently twinkling away right now. I have lots of little decorations on them, for example - blue and gold baubles. As well as silver beads and some Tottenham Hotspur baubles. So I don't really have a colour scheme, it is just pretty miss-match, but I like it that way.

4.  Giving or receiving?
Well I love opening presents of course who doesn't love getting presents. But I do like giving presents to other people. This year especially I cant wait, just for the reason as I have bought both my mum and dad presents with my money as this is my first year working. I thought I would treat them.
 
5.  To mince pie or not to?
No mince pie for me thanks. That sounds absolutely vile. I don't think I would like to eat one of those.
 
6.  What's your traditional Sunday lunch?
I am the most fussiest person ever when it comes to eating. Every year since I can remember Christmas and Boxing days have always changed. I always go to different places and only about a year ago I had my first Christmas at home. I have roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings are my favourite.

7.  Christmas day fashion
I usually have a new jumper or jeans or something. I really like having something new to dress in.
 
8.  What's your favourite Christmas song?
I like all Christmas songs, but sometimes they can get really annoying when playing it over and over again. But I don't particular have a favourite I would say.

9.  What's your favourite Christmas film?
My favourite Christmas film HAS got to be ELF. One of the best films. I could watch that all the time even if it wasn't even Christmas. Its one of those films you know certain lines to because it is so funny. "I KNOW SANTAAA" One of the funniest lines.

10.  Open presents before or after lunch?
Open presents before from my parents that is. We always do it as soon as we wake up.

1001 little beauty miracles | Buy The Best

Here is one of my 1001 little beauty miracles, I hope you enjoy this. This one is probably something that I need to understand and do because I am pretty bad when it comes to buying shampoos.
 
500 - BUY THE BEST
Cheap shampoos are harsh detergents that are not formulated for the specific needs of your hair. They may contain drying alcohols or resins. Choose the best brand you can afford and buy for your needs - coloured, dry, fine, strengthening, and so on. These have ingredients such as antioxidants, vitamins, sun filters and penetrating straighteners and moisturisers.

I think this is something that I need to do as my shampoo probably doesn't do a lot for me. But I am sure I will deal with this soon because it doesn't really do a lot for me.

Review | ELF Single Eyeshadow - Saddle

Here is another review for you. I have to admit on this blog I am terrible at reviewing products, but here you go this is my ELF single eyeshadow in the shade Saddle.

This is the shade I have been using for the past few months. I have an obsession with single eyeshadows. I think ELF have a very good range of eyeshadows as they have a lot of different colours. They have classic range, mineral and studio shadows.

As you can see you get a lot of product from this range. This is a beautiful brown/ auburn colour. Its a great all-over the lid colour which I use for. But a crease colour to blend it out with is perfect too.

This is what it looks like on my lids just normally. I have no idea what is up with the left eye, I think that's where I took this picture pretty late and it just got mascara all over the lid. As you can see this is a perfect all over lid colour.

I will use this product a lot and I am pretty sure you will see this a lot more used on my blog. As this is one of my favourites at the moment. ELF has some pretty amazing eyeshadows.
I hope you enjoyed this review today and hopefully many more to come!

NOTD | Peach Glitter

Here is my NOTD for you all. I have to admit this is probably my favourite nail look. I love this. I hope you enjoy this one.

As you can see in the picture below, this is the nail varnishes I have used - Technic - Carnival and Collection in Fruit Salad. I love both of these nail polishes. They are so amazing. I have used Technic nail polishes before but this glitter one is very much talked about on here as it as a dupe of a OPI one if I am not mistaken. I have never tried a Collection one before this one and I am going to need more in my collection as I love it. It is so creamy and value of the money.
