Christmas and New Year

Hello my lovely ladies!

I know I did not post anything for ages... I am such a lazy bum! I was also a little bit annoyed when most of the photos that I posted on my blog suddenly disappeared... :( I cannot upload some of them again as they were on my phone and I deleted them after posting... 

Anyways, how was your Christmas? Mine was pretty quiet. Christmas Eve my fiancé and I spent at home eating Barszcz (Beetroot Soup) with little tortellini stuffed with meat - Yum! And packing presents for Daniel's family.

On Christmas Day we went to Daniel's dad's house. It was a great family day with lots of food, wine and games :) But I missed my family really bad... I spoke to my mum, dad and brother the night before wishing them a Happy Christmas and I had a little tear... I always cope extremely well with being so far away from my folks as I can talk and see them (Skype) anytime I want/need to but Christmas time hit me real hard. I promised my mum that next year we will be together :)

Ok, now a happy bit - presents! :) I'm such a lucky girl!

My lovely Daniel bought me a beautiful Swarovski necklace with locket pedant (as he wants me to have his photo inside so he'll be always close to my heart :) ).
 

He also bought me a perfume that I wanted for a long time – Chloé in a gift pack with body lotion.

Plus some Body Shop goodies :)

And a ‘sharing’ presents for us:

And voucher for 5 boxes from Graze http://www.graze.com/ (Did not order anything as yet, but will soon and will write a lil post about the experience :)).

Cannot believe Christmas is already over! To the next year! :)

Hope you have all enjoyed your New Years Eve parties! I spent mine with my fiancé and friends in a village hall near Exeter. It was a good night although I will never look at the onion bhaji the same way ever again :D  Will add photos when my friend finally sends them to me :)

But for now I would like to wish a very Happy New Year to all of you gorgeous ladies!

Happy New Year!

Christmas meal with the girls :)

Couple of weeks ago I went out to meet old friend of mine and her friends for Christmas meal and drinks. We went to this lovely place by the quay (where by the way I met my fiancé) and I had a pint of Guinness ( ahh ... I know - classy! But I don't really care - I love it!) and the best salmon salad ever :)
Afterwards we went to a club but because of my stupid tendonitis I couldn't really dance much (just a little wiggle :)).
I think I'm getting old as I was home just after midnight...
This is what I was wearing:

I was wearing old Monsoon black dress, M&S black tights and Faith black ankle boots.

My face: Max Factor Xperience Weightless Foundation Light Ivory 40, Maybelline Pure Cover Mineral Concealer in 01 Nude Beige, Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in 001 Transparent and Rimmel 004 Winter Glow 3in1 Powder Blush.

My eyes: Urban Decay The Black Palette in Baraccuda, Gosh Waterproof Velvet Touch Eye Liner in Black Ink, L'oreal Super Liner Carbon Gloss in Carbon Black, L'oreal Volume Million Lashes Extra-Black Mascara.

Location:Christmas meal with the girls

My lovely ladies, I would like to apologise for being such a lazy bum... No posts for soo long! :(

Last month my lovely fiancé went food shopping and came back with a Glamour mag. He got it for me as he knows how much I like my 'beautifying gems' - there was a 'Nails Inc' nail polish attached. I think there was 4 to choose from and he opted for Hampstead Heath. At first I was a little bit unsure as it looks quite dark, but after trying it on - I loved it! I needed only one coat and although I'm not a pro with dark nail polishes and I needed to correct quite a bit I was very impressed with the result. Just one coat! Ahh... And it's perfect for this time of the year as it's so Christmasy! Perfect for a Christmas Party! (which by the way is this Friday and I still have no dress! :'( ).
The staying power? ... Not so good... Didn't wash any dishes - only had a shower and washed my hands few times (as per usual) and it started to wear off already the next day. No chipping though.
Because it was free and I love the colour and shine - I will use it happily, but because of my 'wonderful skills' with dark varnishes and the staying power I would not purchase it again...

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant

My lovely fiancé took me shopping today and while browsing in TK Maxx I've found this little gem. I read about it's magical powers so many times --> I always wanted to try it! So when I saw it I had to have it! :) At £9.00 it's around £6.00 cheaper than in the high street stores.
As my skin is dry and sometimes flaky on my cheeks and around my nose, I'm looking forward to trying this super cream. I've already tried it on my lips and so far so good! Will post my thoughts on it after few weeks.

















Hope you had fab weekend lovely ladies! Please let me know if you used 8 hour cream and what did you think of it. What are your favourite and tried skin repairers?

Regards

Avon eyeshadows

I was always a little bit mad about Avon so every time I could get my hands on a pretty, colourful catalogue with amazing models with the smoothest skin you can imagine - I knew I will be buying something(s) :D There were the good and bad choices, things I bought and used once or not at all. But I also found thing that I love and use every day. One of my recent gems was True Colour eyeshadow palette and after trying it I had to get some more :). I love that they stay on all day long and you do not have to do any top up during the day. They also blend well and do not crease at all. They are my favourite at the moment!
