The New Beauty Additions

This month like many others I've done a little splurging on beauty products and have a few new additions to welcome into the crowd. From some new spring cheek products to a heavy duty SPF and even a perfume I vowed never to purchase, here's what's made it into my shopping basket.

The New Healthy Mix

I'm pretty sure I could count on less than one hand the amount of lower end 'drugstore' foundations that I actually get along with. I'm no snob when it comes to make up but premium brands are always the ones I turn to with confidence for a flawless base.

This Week #44

01. Costa and Doughnuts for Breakfast | 02. If it were bookshops vs. beauty halls I'm pretty sure books would win every time | 03. A mini BB Surf Spray, adorable! | 04. Some seriously holographic heels in Next | 05. Daisy Cupcakes from

The Spring Edit: Nails

After nearly a week of consecutive sun (touch wood) I think we can safely say Spring has arrived! The beauty wardrobe deserves a seasonal revamp and the first port of call for me is always nails. Ten little fragments of colour that give noting but hope for warmer weather. The big dilemma however is pastels or brights? I've picked five of my favourites in each category that will definitely be adorning my nails over the coming weeks.

The Lip Crayon Roundup

The Lip Crayon seems to be the height of popularity at the moment with brands bringing them out left right and center. From the glossy to the matte, well pigmented to sheer formulas there seems to be one to suit every preference and in the absolute sea of these lip products I've picked out three of my favourites.

Christmas!







Happy Christmas everyone! I hope you've all had an amazing time and indulged as much as I have! I can't really motivate myself to do anything but sit around watching Christmas specials and eating more chocolate than any human being should! I've been such a lucky girl this year and I'm so grateful for all my amazing friends and family that have spoilt me far more than they should have. I know there's going to be lots of these kinds of posts but nosey me loves them so I'm sure some of you will too. I hope wherever you are you're having a great time and enjoy the rest of the holidays!

Christmas!





A quick post to say hello and Happy Christmas! I've been home for the last few days and therefore slacking on the blogging front. Can't really motivate myself to do anything but sit around watching Christmas specials and eating more chocolate than any human being should! I've been beyond spoilt this year and thought I'd share with you a few snaps of what I was given, including the gorgeous naked palette which I've been wanting for months now and some other lovely bits and bobs. I know there's going to be hundreds of these kinds of posts but nosey me loves them so I'm sure some of you will too! I hope everyones having a lovely time and I'll hopefully be back to posting soon!

Candy Cane



Models Own Snow White, 17 Risky Red

After becoming a little obsessed with stripey nails thanks to the nail wraps I got in November's Glossybox I decided to get a little festive with some candy cane inspired nails. Just add one tacky christmas jumper and voila! Really want to try some Dainty Nails inspired fair isle print but I don't think my artistic capabilities extend quite that far.

This Week #12






This week has been a pretty cosy one. I've been tucked up in bed with my regular christmas flu which has (fingers crossed) almost gone now ready for the big day! Highlights of the week include me finishing my first MAC palette, sad little achivement I know. I found a few eyeshadows going on a blog sale for £5.00 each so I decided it was time my poor single little eyeshadow should have some company. From left to right, they are: Mythology, Woodwinked, All That Glitters and Cranberry. I caved and bought the Korres lip balm I mentioned in my last Wishlist too. Its really moisturising and smells delicious! Gives a really lovely pinky tint to the lips too.

The weather's been so awful this week I've been so glad I've stayed at home. So much rain! I wish it would just snow already. I've gotten really into lighting candles at the moment. There's nothing cosier than sitting in a room with a few glowing candles and a fully lit christmas tree. After hearing so many people mention it I really want to get the Christmas Cookie one from Yankee. Aslo found my first Christmas present under the tree. Exciting!

And of course, to finish, the obligatory hot chocolate of the week shot. This time with marshmallows.

This Week #11





01. Went a little Christmas mad this week. If you follow my twitter you might have seen that my tree went up well before December. Its my first Christmas away from home and I've spent all week decorating our flat with as many lights as possible. No doubt the electricity bill is going to be astronomical this month.

02. Rediscovered my love for profiteroles at Pizza Hut, after a long day of shopping. Stuffed my face so much I could barely walk to the car. Gotta love eating double your weight in pastry and cream.

03. I've wanted a Casio style watch for ages, and saw this one on Asos a while ago. Annoyingly when I went to buy it it was out of stock. Isn't that the worst thing? Luckily though as if it was meant to be I found it going on eBay for half the price. I've had a few comments about it being a little 'bling', but I love it!

04. My hands have been so dry and chapped ever since it started getting colder and most of the hand creams I own haven't been making much of a difference. I saw Fleur mention the Banana version of this in her Winter Skin Saviours post and popped in to boots fully intending to buy it when I casually tried this Almond and Beeswax hand cream next to it and fell in love. I don't think words can describe how good this smells! Like sugary sweet marzipan. Its very thick and greasy, but left my hands super soft and nourished. I've been putting a thick layer on over night and waking up with chap free hands.

05. I bought this Turban style headband from Asos but can't decide if it makes me look like an idiot or not. Keeps my ears toasty warm though!

06. More food porn, and what I thought was just an ordinary muffin that turned out to be chocolate orange heaven. Beautiful!
