Giveaway!!!

This is my first giveaway and i thought i'd choose two seperate products to giveaway together. An old favourite and a new favourite in my beauty buys! i also thought i'd choose a colour to go with the pastel trend at the moment :)

Nails Inc nail polishes are my favourite nail polishes to use, they only need a few brushstrokes for quick easy application, the colours are fab and they are really durable.

NYX  lipsticks are my new favourite after reading so many reviews i thought why not?!? i bought four on my first purchase as there was such an array of colours to choose from i was spoilt for choice!

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.

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

My Love for Nails Inc

Nails inc was founded in 1999 by british entrepreneur Thea Green. At £11 a polish my love began to grow!


over the past two months i have bought 15 polishes; chandos place, strawberry hill, paris(dietcokeLE), lancaster gate, OMP!, atomic, oxford circus, malibu - cosmo, mojito and maliblush, milner street, wimbledon, cambridge, richmond and oxford.


where do i keep them? ... 




... my glossy box of course! (one glossy box is able to hold 28 nails inc polishes) Perfect storage solution i think!
