NYE NOTD: Nails Inc Chelsea Embankment


What do you do when you can't sleep? Read? Watch TV?  Just a touch before 5am this morning, I took this picture of my NYE manicure. Madness!

I usually don't like glittery nails,  but Chelsea Embankment from the recent Nail the Day TSV (classic gold glitter - no, really?) just spoke to me.  I'm coming down with something and I'm severely sleep deprived, so I think I can be excused a frivolous nail polish choice to end the year with.  

I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much.  Often a good solid block of colour/glitter requires at least three to four coats to reach the desired look.  However, if I had been a little more precise with the application I could have easily managed with one.  Super dense and chock full of glitter particles: this maybe the best glitter polish I've ever owned.  

Thankfully it doesn't feel particularly gritty on the nails -  as that's a massive deal breaker for me!  It looks so eye catching and sparkly. I can't stop staring at it. I know I won't look forward to removing it though. Glitter polish is  notoriously difficult and time consuming to remove.  Still, I'm happy with it for this evening.

What will your NYE manicure be? Are you going to be "blinging" in the New Year like me,  or will you keep it classic?

Boxing Day Bargains 2011


As is the norm for Boxing Day (well, the norm for me anyway!) I popped along to Boots with The Boy, to dispose of my Christmas vouchers (Thank you Aunties, Cousin, MiL and FiL) and didn't I do well?

With my gift vouchers I managed to swoop in and collect:
  • Loverdose 50ml collection
  • Loverdose 30ml collection  (and I got a bottle for Christmas from my Little Bro - I think I really love this stuff!)
  • Gucci Guilty
  • Guerlain Shalimar Initial
  • Stella McCartney Stella 
  • Estee Lauder Sensuous 



Then, by the power of Boots Advantage points ( I had just over 10300 points!) I treated myself to Elie Saab which I had really lusted after and Givenchy Very Irresistible L'Intense.  I love the original, so anything that had intense in its name, well I'm bound to love that too. Actually, I really need to just say how impressed I am that Givenchy steered away from the body lotion/shower gel combo for their gift set and treated it's customers to a roller ball perfume (Hello perfume houses! Why do we not have more of these in the UK... The Americans have lots of options for roller ball scents! Sorry, rant over.) which I personally love and a little candle. Total winner for me. Big thumbs up for Givenchy.

So that is my perfume collection sorted out for the rest of the year. Did anyone find any other amazing bargains in the sales?  I'll be out with my friend on Thursday, so I may unearth a few more bargains. Watch this space...

Black Friday at Bath & Body Works


On Black Friday, I entered Bath & Body Works with a little trepidation. I'm not sure what I was expecting.  Perhaps a stampede?  What I found was a whole host of lovely SA's and some seriously divine smellies.

 As I walked in I was informed that if I spent $40 (don't dare me!) you could buy a VIP tote bag of selected goodies for $20 that retailed for over $125.  Made great financial sense to me!  So I began sniffing and debating my purchases - whilst worrying about the weight of our luggage on the flight home.  The Boy told me not to worry, approved the choices and after a short while we headed to the till.

What did I get?
  • Dark Kiss Shower Gel
  • Dark Kiss Body Spray
  • Warm Vanilla Sugar Shower Gel
  • Warm Vanilla Sugar Body Spray
  • Black Raspberry Vanilla Shower Gel
  • Black Raspberry Vanilla Body Spray
  • Cozy Autumn Vanilla Shower Gel
  • Selection of Pocketbac's
  • Selection of Lip Glosses

I can't really tell you anything about these goodies yet, as I haven't put them through their paces.  The only thing I can say is that they all smell lovely and we didn't exceed our luggage allowance, in fact we were nowhere near it... I seriously could have bought more.  Watch out for individual reviews as I work my way through them.


So what was in the VIP Tote?
  • Be Enchanted Shower Gel 
  • Be Enchanted Body Lotion
  • Be Enchanted Shimmer Mist
  • Mistletoe Kiss Foaming Soap (this is the only thing in use at the moment. Well it is almost Christmas!! PS it's lovely)
  • Mistletoe Kiss Pocketbac
  • Pocketbac Holder
  • Liplicious Cranberry Kiss Lip Gloss
  • Night-time Tea Body Lotion
  • Mini Water Lily/scrub
  • Pump
  • Two small make up bags

 A total bargain for $20 I'm sure you will agree. I really hate that we cannot get this stuff over here.  This is yet another American retailer (like Sephora) that used to have stores in London/UK, but not any more. Please come back to Blighty B&BW! I beg you!

 I did quite a bit of beauty shopping whilst in Las Vegas.  However, my shopping was positively minuscule compared to Annabella (aka Skin Scrubs) who massacred the beauty aisles and taught me how to shop the American way!  Thank you my lovely friend Annabella, although I needed no encouragement!

Nails Inc "Nail The Day" TSV - Tuesday 13th December on QVC


Ladies, what will you be doing as the clock strikes midnight tonight?  In fact, don't answer that!!  I'll be in my PJ's tuned into QVC for the launch of the "Nail The Day" Nails Inc TSV and wow-wee it promises to be a fab one.  I was a little on the fence about this and didn't know if I was going to go for it.  Then The Boy very kindly offered to purchase for me and send it off to Father Christmas for delivery on the 25th December.  Yay! How could I refuse?

 The colours are lovely, wearable classics, glitters, over glaze and metallic's - oh my! There really is something for everyone here.  If you feel a little bad about treating yourself so close to Christmas, perhaps you could repackage and make smaller gifts for a few lucky friends and family....while sneaking one or two out for yourself.  Well, you've been a good girl haven't you? 

See you at midnight and happy shopping!

The funniest thing I've seen all day: All I want for Christmas - HMS Ocean.


To the Ladies and Gentlemen of HMS Ocean, 

Thank you for putting a big smile on my face today.  I'm so glad that you are finally home to spend Christmas with your families.  What great sport's you are - particularly the dude in the Geri Halliwell-esque Union Jack dress. Ha-ha.

Watch the video and smile!

PS - I love this song ;o)

Nails Inc - The Wyndham Collection


Naughty Hannah (Snowdrop85) made me need this gorgeous Nails Inc collection when she blogged about her love for the Gossip Girl sets.   I have to admit, I've never seen Gossip Girl. I'm not sure I would know it if I fell over it, but I loved the look of the polish.

I was so good, I didn't cave in and buy it before I went on holiday.  But during one of my many, many visits to Sephora I noticed The Wyndham Collection sat on a shelf. Staring at me. Ah-ha I had birthday money, so I didn't feel bad about purchasing!  This cost me $20 (roughly £12-£13 odd) for a set that retails in the UK for £20 (just over $31) - Bargain!


You begin by laying down the blackened teal base colour and add the special effects polish to take the manicure to a whole different level.  Obviously, this polish is shown to best advantage in the sunlight (picture below).   I personally think its gorgeous in any light! You'll have to excuse the haphazard application and slightly dehydrated cuticles, but I was on my holidays!! 


What do you think about The Wyndham/Blair collection? Yay or nay? 

Obsessive Cosmetics Disorder makes the 4Beauty Best Skincare Blog list!

Wednesdays. They're boring aren't they?  I  prefer to call Wednesdays 'hump day' (as in the hump of the week), from there on in you can take a slow slide into the weekend.  Anyway, whatever you like to call Wednesdays, they are usually pretty uneventful.  Not mine! Not Nic's! Not yesterday!


Yesterday, Nic and I were delighted and beyond amazed to learn that we have been named in Channel 4, 4Beauty Best Skincare Blog's.  Surprised? So are we!!


We are both astonished and very honoured to appear on the 4Beauty website.  We're still very much in our infancy as bloggers, so to be listed alongside established bloggers we admire and read on a daily basis, is quite simply amazing!  Make sure you check out the other named bloggers on the list and also the 4Beauty Best Makeup Bloggers - many of which form part of my own daily blog reading routine.  Congratulations everyone!


And finally thank you so much, 4Beauty. You made our day!

Diesel Loverdose - I love to hate you!


I caught the advert for Diesel Loverdose and was instantly turned off to this fragrance. I didn't like the advertising (cheesy), I hated the bottle (tacky), didn't like the name (don't you think it sounds like an STI?!).  There was literally nothing on paper that I liked about this scent.  Not one thing.  And yet, when I caught sight of it in Boots I thought, I'm going to have to smell this to see how awful it is.  I hope I'm not the only person that does that? I am, oh God.  I'm stranger than I though!


  Anyway, I gave it a sniff and to my horror, not only did I not hate it - I actually thought this is quite nice!!!  I immediately left the perfume section, slightly disgusted with myself and continued to browse the store.  I completed my purchases and as I walked to the exit I thought, I going to have to actually spray this on me and see how it wears.  Against all my better judgement I picked up the twee purple heart shaped bottle, sprayed on my wrist and ran out of the door. Hoping no one had seen me.

Fast forward to my train journey home.  I'm sat there, reading my Kindle and generally minding my own business, then I get a whiff of someone and think 'ooooh they smell nice'.  This instantly jolts my memory to Loverdose (cringe!) and I begrudgingly gave myself a cursory sniff.  To my shock and slight dismay - it's me! I'm the one that smells nice and the smell is bloody LOVERDOSE (double cringe)!!!!

I get home and walk through the door and into the arms of The Boy to a comment of 'mmmmmm you smell nice'.  This is not an uncommon event in our house, I'm pleased to say *polishes halo*.  So I offer up my wrist and ask,  is it this?  Which received the response of a deep sniff, a long guttural growl and more mmmmmmmmm-ing. 'Yes! What is it?'  No no no no no!  You cannot like it too! I tell him, how I hate the advert, the packaging and the name and he simply says 'Yeah, but if you like it.  You're just going to have to get over it!'  Okay, sulking now.

A few days later, in Boots again and I get a voucher that has £5 of selected perfumes.  There front and centre is Loverdose.  No, I will not buy this.  I don't need it and I don't even like it that much.  Except Loverdose does a number on me and for the next week, it's all I can think about

. It reminds me of something and I try in vain to think of what it is.  Then it comes to me.  Jo Malone Vanilla & Anise (A modern story of vanilla. The fragile vanilla orchid forms the perfect counterpoint to the oaky caramel-rich vanilla bourbon, spiced with star anise. Warm and enveloping.) - my favourite Jo Malone scent. Classy, elegant and not even playing the same sport as Loverdose (An addictive & unique fragrance with top notes of mandarin & star anise, followed by the two key notes of liquorice & rich vanilla followed by a base of sensual dry woods. The stunning Loverdose bottle is an edgy, multi-faceted heart with a dagger through the middle. It represents a beautiful but deadly weapon of seduction), let alone the same league!  Or so I thought until I looked at the scent descriptions and realised that they were more similar than I first thought. 

 I meet up with Nic and we discuss it. She smells it and tells me I should just buy it.  And so I do and it turns out I actually bloody love it!! I kind of hate myself for even typing that, but I do.  

Is there anything you love to hate?

Laura Geller Bake Sale TSV - Monday 5th December 2011


If you like Laura Geller make up, this would make a great Christmas gift.  Or a lovely pressie for yourself.  No idea of price yet, but you will be able to order from midnight.

Autumn Empties


Wow! The last time I posted one of my empties posts was August!?!  And I was doing so well.  Needless to say, I've still been using things up.  Even if my posting has gone awry. Eek!!
  • Paco Rabanne Black XS  EDP  - I love this perfume. You know I don't subscribe to the usual "this is a day fragrance, this is a night fragrance" and so this pretty much became my go to scent for work. I know some people might keep this for evening, but not me. If I didn't know what I felt like wearing, I reached for this and thanks to my Little Bro's Christmas gift last year, I have another bottle waiting in the wings. Boots.com describes the scent as the essences of Pink peppercorn, Tamarind blossom and Cranberry explode with freshness, youth and sensuousness. Then the heart notes of Black violet, Hellebore Rose and Cacao flower enter into play, weaving their own magic. An overdose of Massoia wood in the base notes forms the basis of Black XS for Her, with patchouli and Tahitian vanilla underscoring the luscious, feminine and sexy side of this bewitching fragrance
  • La Roche-Posay Physiological Micellar  Solution - This might be my second or third bottle of this.  I really like this gentle cleansing solution for eyes, lips and face.  It doesn't irritate it just cleans.  I generally use this as a pre-cleanse prior to my Clarisonic.  I will certainly repurchase when I head to Boots today.  
  • Classics Nail Polish Remover - Cheap and cheerful. Nothing special about this remover. 
  • Lacura Multi Active Serum - A product that received massive hype about it's anti-ageing benefits for the amazingly cheap price of £3.49! Did I notice any massive difference? No.  Did I enjoy using the product? Yes and on that note, I'd buy it again if I am passing Aldi.
  • Revlon Colorstay foundation - I love this. I have back-ups. Enough said!
  • Ghost Deep Night EDT -This is another fragrance I really enjoy and I am sad to see the back of this, as I haven't got a back-up. Good news is, this is usually reduced in the post Christmas sales.  Hopefully I can scoop it up as part of my Boxing Day Bargains!   Boots.com says Ghost Deep Night is an oriental vanilla fragrance that is sensual and passionate. Ghost Deep Night takes its wearer into the world of feelings between day and night. Created for the woman who is not only strong, self-confident, and clever. But also sentimental and romantic as well. A freshly oriental composition. A fragrance made for love - and loving.

  • Original Source Vanilla and Strawberry shower gel - This smells like Strawberry milkshake, which I don't actually like, but do like the scent of! Weird I know.  Nice enough, but I prefer the Mint shower gel versions from Original Source. 
  • Lancome Juicy Tube in Marshmallow Electro - Probably my favourite lip gloss range and one of the nicest colours.  It applies almost clear with a hint of shimmer with a totally divine scent (and taste!) Perfect for use alone or over another lip colour.  These mini versions are also ideal for throwing into a pocket. 
  • Murad Time Release Acne Cleanser - This came as a sample in a GlossyBox and I was excited to try the Murad brand.  This is a really nice cleanser and when I need to repurchase cleanser (I'm working through a stack at the moment!) I'll certainly consider this one.
  • The Body Shop Vitamin C Microdermabrasion - Nice enough but a little overpriced in my opinion. Have other scrubs that I prefer to use, so I don't think I'll repurchase  this one.
  • Soap & Glory Mist You Madly - I quite like this body spray, but I prefer it's sister Glam-A-Lot. 
  • Yes to Tomatoes Trouble Free Facial Wash - This is another cleanser that was okay, but didn't wow me - so I'm glad it's gone!  As I mentioned earlier, I'm not in the market for cleanser at the moment.  However, unlike the Murad cleanser, I don't think I'd repurchase this.

I'm back!!!!


Back to earth with a bump (well, a swollen face and dental abscess - but I won't bore you with that!) from Viva Las Vegas.  We flew in yesterday morning so we are still a bit all over the place, but we had a fantastic time.  Sephora was hit quite severely,  as was Bath and Body works.  More of that to come...

Still can't quite believe that Christmas is just around the corner. I've got a horrendously busy few weeks coming up in work and I really could do with another holiday to get over Vegas. I guess I'll have to wait for Christmas for that. 

Hope everyone is well? As my friend Sarah would say "Any news? Gossip? Scandal?"

My Ojon.co.uk bargain


When my order arrived from Ojon.co.uk, this was how it looked!  Now, while I am so glad that they go to great pains to protect your order, from Royal Mail,  the mounds of shredded paper made a right mess everywhere.  No big deal I guess, but it did annoy me - just a touch.

What was in the box then? Nestled under a small forest of shredded paper, these goodies emerged.  I love Ojon.  I've bought numerous kits from QVC, however this was the first purchase I have made from Ojon's own website.  Having looked around I noticed a code that gave you a duo of the Damage Reverse Restorative Shampoo and Conditioner for free.  That can't be right, surely! 

So I ordered the Volume Advance kit and input the code, crossed my fingers and held my breath.  Look at what arrived!!??

I was sent two 250ml bottles of Damage Reverse Shampoo and Conditioner for free,  Don't you think that's amazing?  I would tell you all about the code, but it is no longer working so it would be unfair to tease you in that way.  Still, I thought I'd share my order with you. The other great addition to ordering from Ojon.co.uk is the selection of 2 free samples per order.  They are single use sachets, but it still gives you a chance to try out new products each time you order.  I am really impressed with my interaction with the Ojon site (apart from the excessive packing!).  Have you bought anything from this site? 

Lancome: Tresor Midnight Rose Gift Set


I treated myself to this Lancome Tresor Midnight Rose Fragrance Gift Set  last week.  Personally, I think it was a bargain at £34 considering the 30ml perfume alone is the same price.  I've noticed that this set keeps going in and out of stock in my local Boots.  So if you want this, I would snap it up while you still can!

The set includes Tresor Midnight Rose EDT 30ml, 3 mini Juicy Tubes in Marshmallow Electro, Lychee and Fraise and 3 Hypnose miniature mascara's (Hypnose, Hypnose Drama and Hypnose Precious Cells).  I thought this was a great chance to try the mascara.  I already know I love Juicy Tubes and I really like the fragrance.

Yeah, about the fragrance! Lancome describes it as:

A candied rose of love, warm and juicy, sweetly addictive.
A vivacious scent enhanced with intense rose and bold blackcurrant notes.

Top Notes: The caress of jasmine and peony meet fresh blackcurrant bud absolute and intense pink pepper.
 
Heart Notes: From the very first moment, it’s love at first sight between deep, intense rose absolute and vibrant, bold raspberry.

Base Notes: For the final touch of seduction, the dry down – Virginia cedar essence, vanilla and musk – warms up the floral notes in an addictive and modern scent.


(L-R) Lychee, Fraise and Marshmallow Electro Juicy Tubes


This would make a really lovely gift for someone special at Christmas, or perhaps mention it to someone as a 'gentle suggestion' of something you would like to find under the Christmas tree.  Failing that, you can do what I did and treat yourself!

Models Own/Diet Coke Freebies



Don't even ask why this picture is the wrong way around.  Grrrrrrrrr! Blogger is seriously vexing me tonight... 

Anyway, for those of you that are interested I thought I'd show you the Models Own/Diet Coke glosses I picked up.  You can select one gloss for free when you purchase of 2 bottles of Diet Coke (or in my case Diet Cherry Coke) from Boots.

 I got my 2 bottles of Diet Cherry Coke and selected Pure Plum from the four Christmas Kisses glosses in the collection.  I thought I'd see how I went with one, as I had never tried Models Own gloss before.  I needn't have worried. I loved them instantly.  Pure Plum is a sheer, non sticky gloss with plenty of Christmas sparkle - although it's not gritty! I cant bear that!  So on the way home, I made a slight detour for another 2 bottles of Diet Cherry Coke and grabbed Golden Nude as well.


(L-R) Golden Nude and Pure Plum


(L-R) Pure Plum and Golden Nude

I think I'll have to go back to pick up Glossy Pink and Lacquer Red before the offer expires on the 27th December.  Have you tried these glosses? What do you think?

Speedy No7 Shopping


I don't know about anyone else, but I seemed to accumulate quite a few of the £5 No7 vouchers.  Last Wednesday I popped out to Boots to see what I could spend them on.  Low and behold the Midnight Enchantment collection. 


I got...


(L-R Smoky Eyeliner in Sparkly Black, Metallic Purple and Metallic Grey Eyeshadow Stick)

Have you picked up anything from this collection? I love the packaging. It's just so pretty!

Sunday 6th November ( QVC Beauty Day) - Clarisonic Plus TSV


Tonight, as the clock strikes midnight I shall be sat with the laptop ordering the QVC Beauty Day Today's Special Value.  I know I'll be doing this, because QVC  have decided to answer my prayers, and have revealed  that the Clarisonic Plus is the star of Beauty Day.  If the rumour's I've heard are true, it's on easy pay - Result! *** UPDATE- It's on the maximum 4 Easy Pay's***

I've wanted to try a Clarisonic for ages, but I've always baulked at the cost.  I figure that if I take advantage of this deal,  I can try it without fear of making a terrible and costly mistake and if I really don't like it, I can send it back.  That''s one of the massive plus points with QVC.  I know people complain that the shipping costs are pretty high.  And they are!  But what other retail outlet lets you buy something, use it and return it for a refund within 30 days?  The no quibble refund policy is particularly advantageous when you are spending a fair bit of money.  This is a win/win situation for me and probably others out there who do not want/cannot afford to make an expensive balls up, particularly with Christmas just around the corner.

You can watch Alison Young reveals what's coming up on Beauty Day for more information about the other fantastic beauty brands taking part in Beauty Day. I'm sure there will be lots of goodies at really great prices. 

My big question is: Does anyone have a Clarisonic?  Love or loathe it? I'm interested to hear your thoughts. I'll be able to add my own to them in 3-5 working days!!!

J'adore Chanel


Quick show and tell from me.  I'm sure that everyone has seen these gorgeous Chanel Illusion D'Ombre eye shadow's and now I have one too! * Squeal* 


I finally succumbed and opted for the beautifully chic and wearable Illusoire (thank you Boots Advantage points!), however Mirifique is next on the hit list.  Is anyone else besotted with these?

Nails Inc TSV - Monday 17th October


Monday 17th October is your chance to tune in to QVC and pick up the latest TSV (or Today's Special Value for the uninitiated) from Nails Inc.  And what a TSV it is!  Following the latest craze in Magnetic Manicures, Nails Inc are offering a set of all 3 Magnetic nail varnish and Kensington Caviar top coat.

Apologies that I have no idea of the price.  But watch this sneaky YouTube video for a glimpse of what is to come from the British nail brand.

Are you tempted??

Speedy Saturday Shopping



I met up with Nic yesterday for a quick catch up.  Needless to say after lunch, coffee and cake were consumed, we had a mooch around the shops and I came back with a few bits.  I even made it home just in time for Strictly Come Dancing 2011. Phew!
  •  Goody Spin Pins
  • L'Oreal SuperLiner for brown/hazel eyes
  • Diesel Loverdose EDP (there is a story to this.... isn't there always!)


  •  bareMinerals Naturally Luminous Daily Duo
    

  •  NYC 16h Lip Stains in Persistent Pink (top) and Berry Long Time (bottom)
  • Revlon CustomEyes Shadow/Liner palette Rich Temptations.  You may have noticed that the Parental Units brought me one of these back from the States last week and I was adamant that we didn't have them in the UK.  Low and behold, I spotted them in Superdrug yesterday! So I have added another colour combination to my collection... naughty me.
Did anyone else go shopping yesterday?  What goodies did you purchase?
