NOTD Star Gazer

Hello lovelies, Happy Friday! Hope your all relaxed and soothed, fancy doing your nails different for the weekend? You like stars? Well here is a nails of the day featuring both.

I have decided to name this nail art star gazer. A shooting star with lots of silver sparkles, this is how you re-create this look.

The colour is completely up to you even a baby blue would look gorgeous with this I think but I started with painting my nails all over in this beautiful pale pink from Models Own in Strawberry tart, one of there scented polishes which is not scented may I add, just the lid.  Then I went over with Sally Hansens Dry fast top coat as I'm in impatient bugger and you need patience with nail art. I then popped a star on to my thumb in the left hand corner which again is completely up to you, you can put the star where you prefer. I got a packet of silver stars from a Ebay seller just type in your search bar star nail art and you will get lots of options. I pressed the star down pretty hard then again re-applied another coat of Sally Hansens top coat to make sure it stays put. 

Then for the stripes I used my nail art pen which was from Primark that comes in a pack of two you can choose from a range of colours I chose a pack with gold and silver in. I then swiped carefully across with the silver nail art pen and made shooting star lines then went in after for the middle with a sparkly number from Rimmel in Disco Ball. For around the edges of my nail I used the silver nail art pen this was pretty easy I start from the middle then carefully follow my nail line and follow it up to the top then again on the other side.

Then again I re-applied another coat of Sally Hansens Super Dry top coat to hold them all together. I love this nail art its very girly and spacey. Hope you enjoyed this little nail art tip see you soon.

Magazine Freebies December Issues.

Hello again lovelies, another post for you all to see what good freebies are in this months magazines. As far as I'm aware there are only 3 freebies this month unless you have found them? So I will show with you the freebies I have found.

Glamour £2 December 2013 Issue.

The gorgeous Katy Perry on the front cover looking all sexy in a thin black lacey number. In this months Issue you got a free Nails Inc polish which retails at near the £10 mark so what a bargain for £2? The nail polish is a beautiful sparkly silver in the shade Soho Silver. Great for festiveness. There are a couple shades for you to choose from. Also in this months magazine inside you get a free Body Shop Joy card where on that card you could have £3, £15 or £100 to spend in there shop, one year I got £15 and was so chuffed. I will probably get £3 this year but that's £3 to spend on body shop goodies :) You don't know what you have on that card until you actually go into the shop and give it them. Then you also receive a Debenhams Beauty and Fragrance gift guide along with typical perfume pages to have a sniff of.

Cosmopolitan £3.60 December 2013 Issue.

Miley Cyrus rocking the front cover, she has had so much stick lately and I love her, I obviously don't know her personally as nor do the people who are slating her every day. She has been through a lot of heart break and us girls should stick together we have all been there. So she swung naked on a wrecking ball who wouldn't with her body and pay packet? I know I would its hardly being a slut/whore people need to look them words up and there true meanings. She was swinging naked as it showed she was hurting on the inside and outside and was her emptiness and her all. Anyway back to the freebies. In this months Issue you also got a free nail polish being a Orly polish a brand I'm not very familiar with at all but it is a vampy red dark purple colour a gorgeous autumn look in the shade 'Naughty'. There are four different shades to choose from. Also inside this mag you get the same perfume pages and a sample of an Aveeno daily moisture lotion which claims to keep your skin moisturised for 24 hours. 

Elle £4 December 2013 Issue.

I'm not familiar with this girl on the cover Candice Swanepoel? But shes very pretty I'd love to have her hair colour and never have to keep re-dying the roots! Gorgeous bone structure too and to go with the lovely cover a fantastic freebie! A benefit lipgloss, I'm not really a massive lip gloss fan but if I have a drying lipstick like my Topshop 'Whimsical' I like to add a little layer of gloss and this colour infact will go really well with that lipstick. Its in the shade Hoola a peachy caramel shade with a hint of shimmer it smells gorgeous too like caramel mmm I was nearly tempted to lick it then, shh. Then again the typical perfume pages between all the magazines they were Angel - Thierry Mugler and Katy Perrys Killer Queen.

Any freebies caught your eye? The Nails Inc polish is my favorite out of the freebies but you have to love a Benefit freebie! Fab goodies. 

Belated Birthday Haul.

Hello lovelies, how ya'll doing? Nearly the weekend again, how fast is time going, is it just me or are the weeks, months, years passing by so quickly? Ever since I've been a mum it just seems to go so fast. I'm now 23! Yeah, getting older I'm scared to get into my thirty's'. But anyway, it was my birthday Monday so I'd thought I would share with you all what I got. 
Just a little disclaimer that I'm not bragging or anything and your obviously intrigued to what I got or you wouldn't be reading this right? So here goes.
I haven't pictured everything I got, I was actually trying to film my first Youtube video on my items but I bailed out again. Damn you confidence. An also I'm not going to go into too much detail about what I got as I will be posting more in depth posts about the items separately. 
From family members I got £300 all together so I brought myself some goodies, I brought a camera, a Nikon Cool Pix S3500 the quality is great for the price I think with just over 20 megapixels. I won't lie to you I haven't the foggiest about camera's. I'm not the best with technology, I usually just take my pictures on my I-phone 4 but as I did want to to start of in the Youtube world I thought I would get myself a camera and I'm enjoying it at the moment. From my Mum, Her Partner and brothers I got a lovely frame with beautiful words inside, which will be pictured below, a set of Yankee candle tea lights in mandarin cranberry a beautiful fruity scent with a gorgeous tea light holder which you will also see in the pictures below and a set of scales because my lovely mummy remembered I wanted some to help with my weightloss journey for measuring and all that shizz.   From my Boyfriends Mum and Dad I got Alien Perfume, my absolute favorite! A real techniques blush brush and a set of Revlon nail polishes. All beautiful colours fast drying nail enamels.  From my Boyfriend and Son I got a beautiful Pandora bracelet with a charm saying Mum on it in different languages, I will cherish that forever. This was my surprise present as the other presents he basically said here's my card get yourself some things, so I picked some more Real techniques brushes, the stippling brush, powder brush and a new expert face brush as if you remember from a few posts a go my lovely puppy chewed the handle. How kind or maybe he loves make up as much as me haha? I got a Liz Earle essentials kit as I'm new to the brand I thought this would be the perfect way to test there products out and also when you order of there website you get a free 30ml sample of the hot cloth cleanser with a muslin cloth which I think is lovely and fantastic! I did use these products last night and pretty much in love already but like I said I'm not going to go in to much depth as I will be posting reviews on most of my products I have brought. Then lastly I got a couple things from Mac, currently online if you spend £45 you get two free samples so I brought a new lipstick, a Mac Mineralize skin finish and a travel sized fix+ which was over £45 so I got two free samples, a mascara the zoom fast black lash which I also am loving I am wearing right now as I type and a skin base prep and primer. I got the lipstick shade Snob and the mineralize skin finish in soft and gentle. The lipstick is a neutral pink with undertones of purple on my lips, I love the smell of Mac lipsticks they smell so yummy of vanilla and the mineralize skin finish is a gorgeous highlighter, I gave my mum a make over yesterday and she fell in love with it.
With the money I got as well as buying the camera I got some more Muji storage A 2 drawer in wide, a 2 drawer in narrow and another narrow drawer on its own. I brought a few items of clothing from Primark or Primarni as I like to call it, Some Origins skin care being the Clear Improvement charcoal mask and the Super spot remover as my blemishes are causing havoc with my chin there having a spot party down there and they need to be banished! I went into Mac just to get myself a pigment in Naked but the lovely woman in there assisted me to there limited edition season area where I found the most gorgeous pigments ever for a set of five mini pigments for £25.50 when a single pigment is £17 I thought why not? A Samina pure make up Instant Glow Mineral Foundation as when I first got into Selfridges in Birmingham the lovely woman collared me straight away and was doing free make overs as Mac were fully booked I thought why not. I'm usually pretty dubious of powders on my skin with my dry areas on my face but thought why not try it, its free right? I liked the results so I brought the foundation she used on me in Porcelain. I was surprised how it did give me coverage not as full as I liked but would look great for a natural look. I got some 3 for 2 deals going on in Boots, the first offer I got my mum one of her Christmas presents which I get her every year a big Dove set then I seen this Starbucks gift set and thought I'm getting me some of that! Which had a large Starbucks mug, filter coffee a chocolate sprinkler and some hot cocoa so was very pleased with that and those date blocks you get with the dates and months I think there super cute and shabby chic looking. I then got some hair care in the 3 for 2 offer all being Lee Stafford, a dry shampoo, a flat iron protection and a dehumidifier. A mini hair spray for my handbag on the go from L'oreal Elnett Satin I love this hair spray. Then the last 3 for 2 offer being on nail polishes. A models Own one as I don't actually own one of there polishes! (well I do now) A gorgeous baby pink in there scented ones, strawberry in the shade strawberry tart. Another Barry M gelly Hi shine in Passion fruit a gorgeous bright reddy pink and a Collection lasting gel colour in the shade Vixon Red 3 which is a gorgeous Vampy red shade. I brought a Denman Hair brush and a Sanctuary Spa 4 day Moisture body oil spray as I'm super lazy with moisturising my body I know I know it's just as important as your skin care regime its just such a chore for me especially now I have more junk in my trunk! So thought this would be perfect for me a few squirts after the shower and rub it in (filthy ;) ). I brought a couple of Lush items as I can never go to Birmingham and not go in Lush, its my favorite shop by far. So I brought Christmas Eve bubble bar which smells gorgeous of jasmine ans all Christmassy gets me right in the festive spirit and Blackberry Bath bomb which is a big purple/blue bomb which smells of palma voilets to me. I got a couple of things in The Body shop one being completley because Caroline Hirons made me do it! With this POST the facial massager and an exfoliating sponge. I got other little bits and bobs and lastly a cheeky Nars purchase all down to Sophia as on her blog she had some Christmas gift ideas for Make up lovers from Space Nk and I instantly fell in love, mini Nars lip crayons in a gorgeous make up bag. I will be doing a blog post about these beauties very soon.  If there's anything I forgot to have mentioned I will pop it in as I feel like I have forgot something, baby brain has never left me sadly. But hope you enjoyed my haul post and I'll leave you with a few pictures of my goodies and keep your eyes peeled for more in depth posts about my goods. Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
