Nail Art #16 | New Year Nails

  If you're unsure of what to do for your New Years Eve nails, check these out! Adding charms and gems is so easy to do, and can instantly transform simple manicures to glamorous nails. I did this manicure for a night out on Saturday, but I love this look so much I've decided to keep it on as my New Years Eve nails. The polish is by Model's Own in Green Tea, but it's actually darker than it looks in the photos...

LiLash & LiBrow updates!

Last month I posted a blog entry about LiLash, and now the time has come to update you all on my lashes and brows! I was told I'd notice some difference after one month of using the LiLash and LiBrow, and that after three months, I'd have noticeably more fuller, longer lashes, and thicker brows. So it's been a month of using LiLash and LiBrow, and I have noticed some difference! Check out my previous LiLash entry to...

Victoria Secret's mini haul!

Victoria's Secrets finally opened in the Bullring! I'm so happy it's finally in my city. I've been to the stores in London, but as I don't live there anymore I can't stroll around and pick up underwear I can't afford. Anyway... I picked up a gift set (...for me...) which had a varsity crew and leggings in for £54.50 (!). I was going to get a varsity by itself but that was £44.50, and well, I kind of justified my...

Special Delivery #15 | The Tail Wagger Christmas box

In my Christmas guide for dogs post, I mentioned that I had ordered a Tail Wagger box for Freddie. It came today! I couldn't wait until Christmas Day to open it, so I opened it without Freddie around. He's already started sniffing the box, no doubt smelling the delicious treats in the box! In the box, I received five treats and two toys: The treats: Soopa Coconut chews, Alfie & Molly's Lamb Bites, Lucy's...

Christmas Gift Guide: for Dogs

I love spoiling my dog, and I spend more money on him nearer Christmas time. I especially love to tease him leading up to Christmas with his presents. If I've bought him a squeaky toy, i'll wrap it up and squeak it from time to time. It gets him so excited and curious. Then Christmas Day comes and he can, with some help, open his present!  This year I won't be buying him individual presents, instead I've bought...

Nail Art #15 | Snowflake nails

On a very gloomy day in England, I painted my nails in Barry M's Pink Punch. It is so bright and glossy! I love Barry M's line of Gelly polishes. The polish has the right consistency: it's not too thick that it's a gloop, and not too thin that I need 3 or 4 layers of polish. I added some cream coloured snow flakes to make them more festive. I think if I added some glitter to the manicure it'd be much more festive,...

Review: Neutrogena Visibly Clear Rapid Clear Treatment

Lately i've been breaking out, with large spots on my forehead, and smaller ones on my chin. I'm going to blame winter for the arrival of these spots. Anyway, I started looking for spot gels that wouldn't dry out my skin and that I could wear under and over make-up. I'll be honest, there were so many treatment gels and they all had pros and cons with them. I settled with Neutrogena's Visibly Clear Rapid Clear Treatment...

Nail Art #14 | Christmas themed nails!

It's the most wonderful time of the year...and gloomiest, because of the horrible weather! I love the holiday season. I love all the shiny glittery ornaments, and all the amazing smells from the Christmas markets, and everything just feels magical around this time of year. It seems like it rolls round earlier and earlier each year, but I'm not complaining. These are my first Christmas nails of the season, I hope...

Special Delivery #12 | November's Birchbox & Review!

 This month's Birchbox theme is Cosy at Home. I love staying home and getting into my comfy clothes, cup of tea in hand and catching up on TV shows. This is the perfect theme for November, when all of the Christmas decorations start going up and everyone is layered up in knitwear. I have seen other Birchboxes and I am a little disappointed about the products I received. Let's begin the review... English Laundry...

Special Delivery #11 | A new planner!

So I recently discovered a stationary website called Kikki K while looking for weekly and monthly planners. I had thought about getting a Filofax but they weren't appealing to me. Kikki K is like the Australian version of Paperchase, but without the kooky characters. They are a Swedish company based in Australia, and they ship worldwide.  I chose this Kikki K Live Bright 2015 planner because of the...

Nail Art #13 | Navy Flannel Shirt nails!

It has been such a long time since I painted on my nails. I love it this time of year when all the flannel shirts start to make an appearance. I LOVE the tartan prints too. So I decided to put the print on my nails. You'll probably see a lot of upcoming nail posts featuring similar tartan prints. I'm obsessed with it. I'm also planning to paint a set of this design and sell it on Etsy! I used Model's Own Betty...

Special Delivery #10 & Review | BioIonic Agave Oil Treatment

I've been looking for a hair oil for nearly a year now, after the hairdressers used Morrocanoil on my hair. I didn't purchase it as it was so expensive, and I would have wanted to try a small sample at home before any big purchases. This is my can't-live-without hair product! After receiving a sample in September's Birchbox, I went ahead and purchased the full sized product. It's £27 for 120ml or 4oz, but I used...

A Beauty Blender Disaster!

So a few months ago in my Birchbox, I received a Beauty Blender. I fell in love with how the sponge blended in my under eye concealer without it caking. I washed it religiously after I had used it, and would leave it to air dry. A few months after owning the sponge, I noticed a few black dots, and I thought this was some mascara from my lashes that had landed on it after applying extra concealer. I was so wrong....

I am not a huge fan of Halloween and I hate all things scary, but I love all of the different looks that everyone creates.

Do you love it or hate it? Jenny...

Special Delivery #6 | #greatlashbig

I actually received this mascara a few weeks ago after entering a Maybelline Twitter competition. I've never tried the original Great Lash mascara, even though I've heard everyone rave about how it's such an amazing mascara. Anyway, I wasn't sure what to expect from this new Great Lash Big mascara but  I do know that the brush is bigger than it's sibling, It is also supposed to condition the lashes. I wouldn't...

All about my dog!

Initially, I wasn't fond of dogs, as my friends all owned dogs who were jumpy and excited. I've always seen chihuahua's in the handbags of celebs, but never did I think that i'd own one! Freddie's 100% chihuahua, and he's usually mistaken for a Jack Russell or a puppy. We adopted Freddie when he was around 2 years old, and he has changed our lives so much! We had to make sure we didn't bump into him when he was...
