New nails.

Hey guys,

Are you all having a fab Saturday??

Weather is nice for a change!

Today I have got new nails to show you, using my new Nars nail polish which I love.

What do you think of the colour combo?

I love having fun with my nails and I am getting more confident now with my nail art.
Though I still need lots of practise! ;)

If anyone has any nail ideas or nail questions, then please let me know.

Have a great day. X

Mini haul

Hey everyone,

I have a mini haul for you all today.
A new foundation to try and 2 new nail polishes.

I am very excited to try nyx HD foundation and pore filler duo, I have heard great things about nyx products, and as soon as I start using it I will review it for you guys.

As always I am happy with my new nail polishes,  a new OPI and another Shisem one to add to my collection.

So that's my mini haul of beauty products, I cannot wait to try all the products.

I hope you all have a great Thursday. X

7 Deadly sins of beauty tag!

Hey guys,

Here is another tag for you all.
My 7 deadly sins of beauty.

1. GREED-what is your most expensive beauty product/least expensive beauty product?
My most expensive is my Chanel foundation

My least expensive would be Vaseline, which I use all the time.

2. WRATH-what beauty products do you have a love hate relationship with?
what product has been your hardest to find?
The product that I have a love hate relationship with is gel eye liner, I love how it looks on but I find it so hard to apply on myself.

The products I would say I find hardest are Make Up For Ever products and China Glaze nail polish.

3. GLUTTONY-what are your most delicious beauty products?
My Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser and my Mac blush.

 

 

4. SLOTH-what beauty products do you neglect due to laziness?
This one is easy, it's using a primer, I always apply my base without a primer even though I know it goes on better with a primer.

5. PRIDE-what beauty products give you the most confidence?
My favourite is bronzer as it just gives my skin a nice glow and it doesn't take to long to put some on, and it always makes me feel better.
And also lip gloss.

6. LUST-what attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex?
I have to say I found this question weird in a beauty tag, but if I had to choose I would say it's nice to have a man who looks after his skin and is well groomed.

7. ENVY-what item would you most like to receive as a gift?
I have 2 items, the first is Make Up For Ever HD foundation and the second is Chanel Mascara.
I would love both of those so much.

So there my 7 sins, I hope you have enjoyed this tag.
I also tag everyone to have a go at deciding on their own beauty sins.
Take care. X

 

My boot sale tips

Hey guys,
I hope your all well and having a good day so far.

I am going to do a post on boot sale tips today, I have done a few boot sales and picked a few tips up over time.

Most people have stuff to sell and boot sales are a great place for this, and also to make a few extra £££(let's face it we all need that!!).

So here are some tips,

1. Take plenty of change.
You will surprised by the amount of people that want to pay with a £10 note when an item is 50p!!

2. Take lots of carrier bags.
You will get asked for them a lot!!

3. Beware of early morning traders.
They swarm around your table to offer you a "good deal" only to go and sell your stuff at a higher price at there tables!!

4. Have prices in mind.
It is very easy to get flustered when there are a lot of people at your table all trying to haggle at the same time!

5. Stay firm on your prices at the start of the day.
No you are not going to sell that bag labelled £3 for 20p!!

6. Drop prices at the end of the day.
If your not someone who does boot sales all the time, and you want to get rid of your bits, then I suggest selling it all off really cheap in the last 1-2 hours of the day.

7. Try not to spend more then you make.
It's so easy to go around buying stuff that is "such a bargain" but the idea is to try and make a little money!

8. Stay warm.
If doing a boot sale at this time of year it can get very very cold, so wrap up and if you have it stand on a piece of cardboard(as this stops frostbite in your feet;0).

9. Look out for people coming up to your table in groups.
They normally have strategies in place where one will distract you and another helps themselves to something they like the look of!!

10. Lastly have fun!!
This is very important because boot sales are hard work, and it can be a long day, so rope in a friend or family member to help.

So that's my tips, these are based on all boot sales that I have done over the years and had to learn from!!
I hope they help anyone who was thinking of doing a boot sale in the future.

Have a great day everyone. X

Exciting Monday!

Hey everyone,
I hope you have all had a good weekend.

I had a surprise today as my sister and her husband brought me some presents!!

These are all gifts I really wanted and I couldn't be happier(thank you Camilla and George) :) :).

The nail art pens and book are from River Island and the Nars nail polish is from Selfridges.

I hope you all have a great Monday. X
