Love Me Beauty Box - December


Love Me Beauty December Box* (£10.00 +P&P)

I love beauty boxes and Love Me Beauty is definitely my favourite. In December, I picked menu 1 and as usual, I am very pleased with the contents. There are 3 full size makeup products and two skincare samples in the box this month, most of them from brands I already know and like.

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette (review + swatches)



Naked 3 is officially here (ink UK) and you can now buy it in store from House Of Fraser and place an order online tomorrow (Wednesday, 11.12). I received mine last weekend and I fell in love with all the gorgeous shades already. I have the original Naked and Naked 2, but the new one is definitely my favourite. It features 12 stunning neutral shades with pink and rose gold undertones. The colour selection is less varied than it was in the first two Naked palettes, but it makes it much more wearable for daytime.

It is finally time to share my November/December favourites with you :) I have been trying out some new products, but I also rediscovered a couple of makeup gems in my  collection. 

Sunday Manicure: Impress Press-On Nails

Impress Press-On Manicure

I found these in my Latest In Beauty Stocking* on Friday and I couldn't wait to give them a go. I have been meaning to buy a pack of Impress Nails since they launched, but they used to be quite expensive, so I quickly forgot about them :) The design I got is a bit crazy, but... I really like it.

Gas hobs are timeless and add a lovely rustic feel to your kitchen. They also heat a lot faster than electric ones, so there are practical reasons to keep them! One of the key problems with a gas hob is figuring out how to clean it. From removing the racks, to trying to get rid of as much grime as possible. 

Makeup Look: MAC Expensive Pink, Club and Nylon


I am still obsessed with my MAC palette and I try to create a nice variety of looks, instead of going for the same brown smoky eye every single day :) Obviously, there is nothing wrong with that,  but I simply want to get a lot of use out of all the individual eye shadows I picked for my palette. My favourite look so far must be the combination of Expensive Pink with Club and Nylon. I must admit, I wore it more than once, because it really suits my eye colour.
