Urban Decay Festive Gold Sparkle Makeup Tutorial!

Woohoo,
Getting my Christmas groove on because lets face it, winter makeup is about 100 x more fun than summer makeup which is quite often 'no' makeup makeup looks (I have a few on my channel, just in case you were interested...)
I've created a very very glittery eye, golden glitters for that matter- and added some brown glitter and brown eyeliner accents to keep it all very warm.

On my lips I am wearing Mac lip liners in Cherry and Chestnut, I only ever use these liners together- No exceptions! It creates a velvet lip look with a whole lot of festive POP
There's plenty more where that came from...

Bridesmaid Summer Wedding Manicure

As my sisters wedding is fast approaching, it's about time I tied all those little loose ends of jobs together. A few days before the wedding like today, made it the perfect day to test out what colour to wear on my nails, I've finally settled on Princesses Rule! By OPI
My advice when deciding what polish to wear is to do a little trial run, if it's between two colours, paint a different colour on each hand then hold the (dry) nails against the outfit that you are wearing to see which colour looks best!
I am wearing a bridesmaid dress that is a block colour, and I've decided these look the most feminine, and understatedly pretty when held against the dress!

It looks like subtle pink sparkle with one coat, but I ended up building it up to three coats to create a more opaque glitter finish. As for lasting, it leaves a lot to be desired, it will only look good for about one day and dents easily too. Here I've worn the colour for three days and the tops are all chipped and that was with a strengthening top coat, so be aware of that going into this. However, it looked neat and fresh for all of one day which is how long weddings last!

Twinkle toes!

I have to share with you one of the greatest purchases of the year....

My beautiful glittery Ted Baker bow pumps!
I've had my eye on the Ted Baker bow footwear for a while, I liked the bright sandals a lot, so when I spotted these sweet delights in TK Maxx for half the retail price I couldn't resist!

Look at the cute box they came in, it's design is like a sweet shop or something!

I've worn them already even though my feet froze (it's snowing here) but it was worth it, and they are a rubbery material so they do not feel like they need to be worn in like other shoes.
Hooray for spotting a bargain!

I have bags under my eyes...

Designer bags that is!

I'm joking, I actaully have some of the grossest bags I have ever seen in my life before me (or under my eyes as such) haha!

If you follow me on the ol' twitter then you may know that I did a bit of a spring clean or winter clean really and got rid of soooo many old bags that I've had for maybe 4 or 5 or 6 years, some even older and I just sat and thought, what on earth are these doing in my room!? I'll never ever use these!

I don't know about you but I'm more of a 'two bags at a time' sort of girl, I'll have one practical for everyday, and one more dressy, and I use them both until they wear out or I get sick of them, then buy another two, but the problem was- I wasn't actually getting rid of them, I was just keeping them in a 'safe place' incase I needed them.

If I've not used them in a year, then quite simply, I'm never going to use them!

Feast your eyes upon these as the four most picture worthy:

The last remaining to hit the shelves of the charity stores, the hello Kitty bag is actually quite cute but it's much too little for me, the grey bag has a cheerleader on it with sticky out pom poms!
As for the playboy one... Maybe someone will want it for a fancy dress party to go as a playboy bunny? Haha, I'm not so sure.
The grey glitzy clutch actually still has a tag on it, and it is kind of nice, but it's good to be ruthless when cleaning out!

So there you go, a little peek into some of the worst of the worst, but I sure hope it made you smile, or at least made you remember maybe something that you store up to use 'another time' but that time will never come! So we can all have a clear out together!
