#blogmas. Day Three.

And I just made it before midnight! Day Three already, this is crazy! But that also means only 2 days until my pretty face is home from his holiday. 

 

In the dead early hours of this morning, I decided to repaint my nails. Thiz is the third consecutive time I have applied Essie's Lacquered Up, I am really loving it. I put Barry M 351 Yellow Topaz Glitter on top which I think is a great touch. It looks so pretty and festive! I noticed all my nails were starting to tear and split so I cut them all down too. They're a little longer than they look in this picture actually...

 

 

I was out most of the day today so I had to grab lunch on the go. I always try and go to Boots if I have to get food to go as I love their meal deals. I always get the same - Tropicana Orange and Mango juice and Walkers Baked crisps with my favourite sandwich. Ham and light Philadelphia on malted bread. It's seriously yummy and very filling. 

 

 

I also popped into Meadowhall (my local shopping centre) on the way home from my afternoon at Foodbank to look for a loose knit cream jumper - for my gold PU legings. I found a really nice one so will do an OOTD post for you. They have their Christmas decorations up and I fell in love with their giant tree. It's amazing! I'm slowly stsrtibg to get in the Christmas spirit...

 

 

 

I also had a cheeky treat this evening while I Skyped my other half. These little things are seriously yum!

My Week in Pictures!

 

Monday.  I am the ultimate Toberlone fiend.

Tuesday. Bought a new Essie polish today. This is Lacquered Up, a gorgeous scarlet red. It's perfect for Christmas parties.

Wednesday.  I made tuna pasta bake tonight for dinner, it was delicious.

Thursday. Dying my hair with this tonight - I can't wait to add more purple. The Live XXL Luminance range is really good for my dark hair.

Friday. My favourite place in the entire city. It's so peaceful.

Saturday.  Did a little shopping in Primark today.

Sunday. The perfect Sunday. Enough said.

3 Steps to Glam Make Up.

Its nearing Christmas which means parties, drinks and a lot of photographs. I follow a few very simple rules to make sure my make up fits the bill.

Red Nails.  They are a must! Not only do they add an instant Christmas feel but they look so glam. This is the only time of year I really wear red nails but I love them so much. My only note would be don't wear them with a red dress or top, they're meant to stand out. Essie's Lacquered Up is my perfect shade.

Red Lips. Again, how am can you be? I know its quite easy to cross the line with a red lip but if its carefully worn, it can look amazing. Red lips have to be matte for me and I have found that being cheap doesn't mean it looks cheap. My go-to red is by MUA and is shade 13. If you must go high end, Russian Red by MAC would be my choice. Just remember with a red, you need to keep it looking fresh at all times. Again, don't team red lipstick with a red dress but do wear nails and lips together.

Gold Eyes. When wearing red lipstick it's important to keep the eyes simple. Nothing saying you have to go bare, but you don't want heavy. I love wearing gold shadow with a red lip. I think its bold enough without being overpowering. With a touch of eyeliner and lashings of mascara, you're all set!
