As some of you may know, in August I left my full time job as a Community Psychiatric Nurse, to work from home as a web developer with my partner Brains at our web development company BIOSTALL. (Shameless plug I know!) My new career means I spend a lot of time building websites, but it also means my friends and family get to take advantage of this for ridiculously discounted prices. My latest site outside of work was for Solihull…

Well it’s official, we are now in December and Christmas is flying full speed and head first towards us. The best thing about this time of year, is being able to paint your nails with lots of festive things, so my first Nail Art for the Christmas period is this totally adorable and really easy peasy Penguin. Honestly, this is one of the easiest nail art’s I have done in a long while, so for those that are a little…
Continue Reading ...As mentioned in my HD Blush post here, I found a few treats hidden away that I had completely forgotten about. The Elf Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in black was one of them. I think I bought this before I discovered Eyeko, so when I found it still packaged I was sceptical after using such a great product already, but I dived straight in there and applied this a few days ago. It’s very black unlike some pen’s I’ve tried where…
Continue Reading ...You know you have a serious makeup addiction, when you forget about unopened products for months. I have a little box, that I keep packaging in, for reviewing purposes obviously. Alas, I had a nose in there and to my absolute delight I found two unopened elf products! One of them was the Elf HD Blush in “Headliner”. I’d wanted this for ages and had completely forgotten that I had bought it on an earlier haul. I hadn’t even opened…
Continue Reading ...I was hoping my Oct/Nov Most Wanted installment would be it until after Christmas. I was so wrong! Browsing the web and gift magazines has only made my love for all things … well erm … all things … even bigger! So my Nov/Dec most wanted, is going to be all the things I want, but definitely can not have until well into the New Year. Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette 20 Beautiful dark and glittery shades. God I need…

Last week The Body Shop had two amazing special offers on, and of course I had to take full advantage of them both! I posted about the first here a few days ago, and now my second box of goodies has arrived! This offer was a special treat for fans of The Body Shop’s Facebook Page, offering free P&P and a mini Chocomania set with purchases over £5, unfortunately the offer is no longer running as they had such a…

There’s just something about a pretty box full of squiggly bits of paper and beauty products that gets my heart racing! This is the second limited edition box put together by Latest In Beauty and Glamour magazine, I missed out on the first so made sure I got right in there for round two. First off the box itself looks very luxe, the presentation as a whole is just lovely. Inside there are seven treats worth an amazing £65,…

The Body Shop is one of those places where I never seem to have to buy anything at full price because there is always a great offer on – at the moment you can get 35% off everything, free delivery and a free gift when you spend £5! This offer runs till Monday 25th Novemeber, so still plenty of time to get your hands on some shinies! My first package arrived this morning (I’m waiting on another from a…
Continue Reading ...MUA have a great range of eyeshadow palettes, but I always seem to have trouble with their matte shades. This gorgeous silver toned collection however is all shimmer finish, making every single shade a winner. Starry Night has twelve shades in total, but as with all the older MUA lines they are not named (or even numbered – a big gripe of mine!). As with all cheaper eyeshadows a primer is an absolute necessity, and for these swatches I’ve used…
Continue Reading ...My transition from occasional glitter lover to full on magpie seems to be reaching an all time climax and I nearly did myself some damage when I saw these little boxes of sparkle! There are four palettes on offer, Rock Chick, Diva, Burlesque and Twilight, ranging from cool blues to fiery reds. I of course went for the two blue toned palettes Rock Chick and Diva and I’ve been pretty mesmerized with them since. The glitter is suspended in a gel,…
