Attacking tangles

Anyone who has read my Christmas wishlist post will know that I was lusting after a Tangle Teezer. I was browsing the beauty aisles in my local Pound Stretcher looking for a bargain when I came across a dupe – Tangle Attack.

Liebster award

The lovely Charlotte over on http://tastingtheworldwithme.blogspot.co.uk/p/blog-page_5.html has nominated me for a Liebster award.

It was such a nice thing to see pop into my inbox as it’s the first time anything like this has happened to me since I started my blog. The aim of the award is to help promote blogs with less than 200 followers.

Glamour freebie

I love nothing more than spending a lazy evening drinking copious amounts of tea while reading a glossy magazine.

Glamour has been my favourite magazine for a few years now and they like to treat their readers to a freebie every now and again.

This months edition has the lovely Katy Perry as the cover star and not only gives you the choice of four Kate Spade for Nails Inc polishes (worth £11) but also a Body Shop gift card that could contain £3, £15 or £100 (you have to go in store to find out) – all for the £2 price of the magazine. 

 

 

NOTD: OPI Over the Taupe

I recently added this lacquer to my collection and I love it, such a warm, autumn shade! It is a creamy, mushroom shade, goes opaque with two coats and since I applied it on Monday (on my acrylics) it hasn’t chipped and still remains glossy even though I didn’t apply a base or top coat.

I got this for £3.99 at Fragrance Direct, there’s lots of shades to choose from and you can get yours here

Great skin for just £1

Nivea Creme has been a permanent fixture in my make up bag for years now so when a fellow blogger tweeted a link to a recent  Daily Mail article that compared my £1 moisturiser of choice to a product that cost £105, I was intrigued to see which one came out on top.

Christmas wishlist

In a few weeks, the inevitable question be fired at me from my family and friends – what do I want for Christmas? When I was younger, I could fire off hundreds of answers to this question but as I’ve got older I’ve found it more difficult to answer. So I’ve popped my thinking cap on and come up with a few ideas and here’s what I’ve got so far…

Autumn nails

Autumn has well and truly arrived. Brown leaves are scattering the pavement, there’s a chill in the air and I’m digging my jumpers out of my wardrobe.

It’s also time to say goodbye to my bright summer nails and embrace the autumn colours. I’ve selected a few of my favourites that I’ll be wearing for the next few weeks.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone!

I thought I’d share a picture from my Halloween night out in Birmingham on Saturday. I was supposed to be Little Dead Riding Hood but I think I looked more like an evil doll!

 

Pay day treat

I was extremely happy when I checked my bank balance this morning and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one – payday has arrived!

I always like to treat myself as soon as I get paid, while my balance still looks healthy and before the harsh realisation that I have bills to pay kicks in.

I’ve been lusting after discounted products on www.fragrancedirect.co.uk for a few weeks now so this lunchtime, I placed my order and I thought I’d share with you what treats I’ve got coming my way.
