WEDNESDAY

well happy valentines day ladies .....
as  always my man SPOILT me! this year he had no help from his mother (so im well proud of him)
i was at work and i had just finished telling the girls there wouldnt be anything special this valentines since we were 'just doing cards', when my deputy manager walked through the door with a huge black box from interflora and said "its for you".  

a bouquet a red roses.

when i arrived back to his  after work he gave me the sweetest wee card he had picked out...
he even wrote his own little verse inside! Too give it a more personal touch x

i got a compare the meerkat alexander toy as i think theyre so sweet (i already own two other ones) and taken out for a meal.

getting glammed up! ...

i wore a red dress from h&m, black court shoes from newlook and a black cardigan from F&F.

makeup ...

an essential for any screen goddess, illamasqua matt helps create a flawless shine-free base. for use under foundation or on its own, this proffessional cream formula contains uva and uvb filters and gives skin an even matt finish.prepare to impress.
it costs £19.50 for a 30ml tube. it comes out as a white creamy formula but applies evenly and you get a better result using a foundation brush rather than your finger tips.i really liked this primer it took away the shiney look i sometimes end up with and kept my make up on longer! worth it girlies!
                                                                                                                                                                  
Luxurious flawless coverage with a weightless feel. suitable for sentisive skin. wont clog pores. oil free!
it costs £9.99 for a 30ml tube, however Boots usually do 3 for 2 offer. i get this in beige linen 50. i am quiet pale skin so i wanted a foundation that looks natural and flawless and this little highstreet beauty does the trick! i like it because its very light and you can build up the colour. a little amount goes a long way but id definetly recommend wearing a primer underneath just so it lasts longer throughout the day without needing touch ups.

We went to a gorgeous italian called ~ La Favorita in Edinburgh which we went to on our first date back in 2009. we recieved a complimentry cocktail on entry and we then had a 3 course meal and drinks. i tried their innocent passion non alcholic cocktail and it was very yummy! after we got the bill we recieved two little balls which when you opened them they had a heart chocolate inside! really nice touch to the end of the meal, i'd recommend anyone to try this restaurant as the staff are very socialable and friendly and the food is gorgeous and it doesnt take long for it to arrive!

 i had a fabulous Valentines day how did yours go? xx

November's Glossy Box



hi there beautiful ladies,

this is my very first blog... im starting off with Novembers Glossybox!
my friend, blogger of poochytails.blogspot.com claire introduced me to glossybox ... Glossybox is basically a subscription to your door where you get to try out lots of lovely products for £12.95 a month. http://home.glossybox.co.uk/

i was very excited when this came to my door! Beautifully packaged in a pale pink box, i carefully unwrapped it to reveal the contents inside ....

Illamasqua  Freak Eau De Parfum -

the first fragrance from British beauty brand Illamasqua, this was a sample sized product. i am very optimistic when trying sample perfumes as usually i dont like them, however i really liked FREAK and i will be purchasing the full sized product asap!

Arbonne FC5 Ultra Hydrating Hand Creme

i really like hand creams and Arbonnes one was no different i loved the smell but careful not to apply too much as it leaves your hands feeling greasy.

Monu Revitalising Moisturiser
i gave this product ago, i normally use a clarins moisturiser but i couldnt use it as the two occassions i did my skin tingled and hurt, i did think it smelt fresh but my skin didnt like it!
Nail Rock Designer Nail Wraps 
i recieved the red lacey ones, i have previously used another brand of these before (trendy nail wraps) so i partially knew what to expect, although the design wasnt me i gave these ago they lasted no more than a week on my fingernails but were easy to apply and remove.

Dead Sea Spa Magik Bath Salts
as soon as i recieved these i jumped in a bath i have heard alot of good reviews but i have never bothered to try these. once i came out my relaxing bath, my skin was soft and subtle i was very impressed that these little salts could be pretty powerful!!
Hopefully i did okay for my first blog! will try to write another as soon as i can...
