Eye ♥ Hello Kitty Smoky Eye Kit!


I picked this little cutie up while sale shopping the other day- I just couldn’t resist! Everything right down to the packaging of this product is lovely. And at just £6, It was as cheap as chips!
The kit contains ‘3 classic smoky eye shadow pots with a double ended applicator’
I apologise for the image over load now, It’s just too pretty!





 The shadows go on quite nicely and are well worth the £6 price tag!
My personal favourite has to be Nude:


I also love the brush you get with it- I wasn’t expecting it to be so soft!

I brought this bargain in the sale at boots, for just £6!

No7 and Poppy King

For as long as I can remember I’ve been up at the crack of dawn boxing day to hit the shops. This year was no different in fact- the only reason I eventually headed home was because my arms simply couldn’t carry more! Needless to say, I was back again the next day!
I found myself in Boots on both days, I find their sale is great. Gifts are always 50% off, Which gives everyone a great chance to try different products at great prices. Armed with a purse full of Christmas money I hit boots on boxing day, I was looking for a nail art set I had spotted before Christmas day- but sadly in both of my local boots they been snapped up, although that didn’t stop me from spending a ridiculous amount cosmetics! I picked up a poppy king lip palette and lip gloss set along with a few other items on boxing day- But fell so in love with the collection I went back for the lip and cheek duo the next day!
The cracker shaped Item contained two amazing lip glosses – No7 and Poppy King Celebrate Sultry & Stunning, Rich year sheer colours designed by Poppy King to Give your lips that Sultry & Stunning look!’

The set contained two lip glosses, for just £6! Plum and deep wine lip gloss;
The darker colour is definitely my favourite! Its not too overpowering, But at the same time it gives your lips a lovely colour.
My second Poppy King buy was the palette of lip shades- No7 and Poppy King Celebrate Cheeky & Cheerful, A special palette of lip shades designed for cheeky nights and cheerful days!’
I haven't actually used this palette yet, It is just too pretty! And at just £5 a total steal!


A thing I love about this product is the brush! It isn't a cheap one you expect in a palette- Its actually of a great quality and I look forward to using it!


The last item I brought was a cheek and lip tint set- No7 and Poppy King celebrate Balmy & Beautiful, Soft and natural colours desgined by Poppy King to tint and treat your lips and cheeks!’

Have I mentioned how much I adore the Poppy King packaging!?

The set contains a lip and cheek multiple and blotting papers

At just £5 this was a complete bargain! The shade’s are perfect for pale skin!

Santa Claus is coming to town..

Yes, I plan on having unrelated Christmasy titles until the big day comes :]
I thought I'd share a quick post while I have a break from studying for my law exam..
My latest Christmasy find is this stunning nail colour in Emerald green from Barry M,


The colour is amazing! I've had a bunch of comments since putting it on Monday,

I do have one issue with it though, Which is so annoying because I love the shimmer to it so much.. It just takes a lifetime to dry! It goes into that sticky nearly dry stage for what seems like a lifetime,I have so many marks from falling asleep on it- But luckily the shimmer of it does kind of mask them, but its not the point..I hate when nail varnishes take forever to dry!
What do you guys make of this colour?

It’s being to look a lot like Christmas…

I bet you’re already sick of Christmas posts, and it’s only the 5th! Ah, well 20 days to go ;)
Since the festive season is upon us, I figured I’d share my five frosty Favourites with you (Gah, I’m so cheesy!)
The raspberry kiss  bath & shower gel by treacle moon, Asda’s Protect dual action moisturiser, Avon intense protection hand cream, I love..strawberries & milkshake glossy lip balm and Carmex lip balm…
My first and possibly my favourite out of the bunch is Asda’s Protect dual action moisturiser, priced at just £2 this stuff is amazing…If you’re the kind of person that worries about breaking out when using a new moisturiser this is probably a good option for you. It ‘Moisturises skin without clogging pores, Antibacterial ingredients help to prevent spots and break outs- Leaving skin soft and smooth’. I won’t lie- It smells horrid which is probably the only negative I have to say about it. But if you can put up with that distinctive spot treatment smell as you open the lid, It’s all worth it. I love the light texture of it, and how it leaves skin feeling amazing in a matter of minutes.
Avon intense protection hand cream. I’m not sure if this hand cream is still sold by Avon, but I found it at the bargain price of £0.99. It’s not the quickest when it comes to soaking in, but it does a bloody good job! When I was younger, I would suffer with terribly dry skin on my hands,It would constantly cause me pain during the winter months. I’ve been using this since the cold months began, and so far my hands are just as healthy as the would be in the winter. So it’s a win from me!

The raspberry kiss  bath & shower gel by treacle moon- You can find this for around £3 in Tesco stores. The scent reminds me of the summer, which is basically why I love it to be honest..
Carmex lip balm- as you can tell from the state of my tube, I use this a lot! At under £3 it does a fantastic job at keeping your lips crack free during the winter, in fact it’s the only lip balm that I’ve found which is this good at it! My tube is basically gone now, I’ll have to pick another one ASAP!


I love..strawberries & milkshake glossy lip balm costs about £1 from super drug, I don’t think I’m ever going to finish this tub. No matter how much I seem to pile it on, the amount left never seems to go down. I love the scent it gives off and the shade on my lips, Its defiantly a must have from me!

What are your fave products this time of year?
