New Years Nails Of The Day Ideas

I love doing my nails especially for special occasions and new years eve is no exception for that, as lots of people are going to party's or going out with friends tonight to celebrate new years when the clock strikes 12! I thought I would share some New Years nail ideas with you as these are the type of colours I want to wear tonight! It's a shame I can't wear them all.

My favourite of the three with out a doubt is this Tanya Burr nail polish in 'Cookie Cutter' it is a gorgeous glitter nail polish and I see why she named it this, as it just reminds me of sweet treats like chocolate and cookies! A great one for christmas too I had this on my ring fingers and I loved it so much! It is a gorgeous colour but is sadly limited edition and is from the Gingerbread trio which was a christmas gift set from her range!

£4.99 for these nail polishes

I have now chosen some more muted colours as on New Years if your outfit is quite out there you may want some pretty, natural nails to complement your outfit.

The first I have chosen in the Barbara Daly nail polish in 'Tea Pink', it is such a lovely peachy pink but is quite a dark but muted pink so it isn't too out there but adds lots of colour and really looks nice on so many skin tones, pale to darker skin I think it would suit such a variety! It can be purchased from Tesco in the UK, but can probably be found online if you aren't from the UK.

This one was a gift but I'm is around £3-4

The last nail polish is one of my beloved ones from Nails Inc, It's called 'Colville Mews' and this actually came from a glamour magazine a few months ago but I adore it, it just looks so classy and elegant on the nails and goes with so many outfits, this can literally be paired with any outfit as it is a nude beige-y colour. I am obsessed with using it this winter when I want something a bit less out there like a plum or dark berry shade. I don't know the exact price but most Nails Inc nail polishes are quite expensive. It lasts so well on my nails (around three days with no chipping) which is a first for most light colours like this,

They are around £10-11 

What will you be wearing on your nails this New Years? 

A Few Favourites Of December

So I have been loving so many amazing products this month but I wanted to share these three favourites on my blog today as I have used them all religiously this month. I think this is mainly because I love rose golds/golds and berry red autumnal shades in the winter season. And these are all these different colours which I adore wearing.

Buy them here: 
Mac Warm Neutrals Palette - www.selfridges.com
Benefit Rockateur Blush - www.boots.com
Avon Nail polish in Cherry Jubilee - www.avonshop.co.uk

I love doing my eyeshadow a lot it is something I find doing is very therapeutic and I love experimenting with different eye looks mainly warm toned as I feel like warm toned colours complement my eye colour a lot more.

That is why I'm loving my Mac Warm Neutrals palette this month, as I love gold/copper eye shadows on my eyes to really make my blue-y/green eyes stand out more. I especially love using the three colours from the middle right they all create the most gorgeous orangey brown eye look they are called honey lust, amber lights and saddle, I have also loved experimenting with the two shadows on the bottom right called divine decadence and unwind. The green-y colour reminds me of mermaids and could look so pretty for a party look I think!
This palette retails for £65 which is a bit steep but I saved for so long and it should be around £150 or more as the eyeshadows separeatly retail for £10 and there are 15 eye shadows.

The next is my lovely Rockateur Blush by Benefit, it is the most gorgeous almost dark rose gold shade, it is so pretty and looks gorgeous in the hollows of the cheeks a bit like bronzing and blushing yourself at the same time it adds a lovely subtle glow and just makes you look super healthy! This retails for around £23 which is expensive for makeup but I have used this so so long and I haven't even touched the pan at the bottom. (which is good as I never want it to run out!)

The last is my Avon Nail polish in Cherry Jubilee, it is one of my all time favourite nail polishes for autumn and it hasn't often been off my nails this month! If you want a lovely deep red which has slight purple tones too this is gorgeous and was only around £4, it lasts so much longer on my nails than other brands like L'Oreal and Barry M.

  

My Christmas Lip Choices

Today as I promised, Since it's actually Christmas Eve, eeeep! (can you tell I'm excited!)

So I wanted to share my most Christmas Appropriate Lip choices, I actually did a makeup post which will be everything I wear on my face on Christmas day featuring two of these lip products so that is HERE if you want to check if out I would love to know your thoughts!

So I have tried to cater to everyone's lip choices, as I thought this would be more interesting if there are lots of different lip colours and you can see what ones I'm loving and what one's I am likely to wear on Christmas and the period leading up to the day and the other days after christmas!

I have got one high end lipstick to share with you and three drugstore lip colours, and a drugstore lip gloss so I'd love to know which is the one out of these you would wear for Christmas Day! Or tell me what you will be wearing out of all your lip colours!

Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Matte Lipstick in La Mysterieuse

This is such a pretty and non drying matte lipstick! The colour here in the photo doesn't really do it justice it is more of a red pink shade, and I find it really complements my skin tone. And it is my first Chanel lipstick so it is my most prized expensive lipstick in my collection! Ah I just adore it!

£26.00

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 107

It is my Christmas lip option this year along with the Tanya Burr lip gloss to add a bit of shine to it! It's a beautiful berry purple/red but just looks so gorgeous with a gold eye and if you've seen my last post you'll know at christmas I'm having gold eyes and this on the lips and it's a stunning combination paired together!

£5.49

Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 22

Ah! This lip is for the bright red lip fans, it is gorgeous and as it isn't matte it is so moisturising, all day long. It applies so easily as it's so smooth and moisturising too, and I feel like with some contour and highlight it looks so pretty, I love a lot of highlighter with a bold lip it just makes me feel like a glowing goddess haha!

£5.49

Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 38

This is a gorgeous nude pink colour, which is perfect for those who just want something simple that wont ned reapplying too much, or look obvious when some has worn off your lips. It is a lovely classy and elegant colour as it just makes your lips look the perfect pink/nude which isn't too obvious. 

£5.49

Tanya Burr Limited Edition Mini Lipgloss in Sugar and Spice

My newest lip gloss edition this is. The lipgloss is such a lovely consistency and smells Amazing!! It isn't too pigmented and can be worn ontop of lipsticks, I love to pair it with matte lipsticks to add some shine when they look too drying on the lips. Which is what I will be doing with Rimmel Kate 107 and this lip gloss on Christmas Day, I can't wait!

£5.99 for Full size lip glosses

Merry Christmas Everyone!

My Christmas Makeup Of The Day - Everything Drugstore

Currently it is only 3 more sleeps until christmas day! and I am actually super excited! So I thought I would do a post on the makeup I plan on wear on Christmas day and this is it, carry on if you want to see everything I used! I used only drugstore products as I'm really loving so much from Boots and Superdrug at the moment! (UK Drugstore Beauty shops)

So I first used my new favourite foundation the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation, which I featured in a Drugstore Makeup haul here which gives such a flawless base and gives a light to medium coverage. I use the shade 52 which is the second lightest shade.

I then used the Soap and Glory kick ass concealer, just to cover up my dark circles with the peachier shade in the duo and then the more yellow shade to cover any pesky blemishes! It's a really good concealer duo as both shades will be good for most skin tones, to correct and conceal.

I didn't use any bronzer as I think I don't need too much with the bold lip and dramatic eyes but you could use some on your skin! I used a No7 highlighting stick to make me skin glow and look really fresh, which I think is perfect for christmas day as I can go all out with the shimmery eye shadows and glowing skin!

I will then use the gorgeous Tanya Burr Hollywood palette which you can see below, I am just going to use the first light shade called 'Nude Delight' and Then the shade 'Enchantment' which is the most pretty gold shade, but it stays on the eyes so well with minimal fallout. If there is any I will just clear this up again with my soap and glory concealer. 

This part is also optional but I then used a tiny bit of 'Bookworm' just to deepen up my crease and to just pull the eye look together. 

I then will apply generous amounts of the Maybelline Lash Sensational after I have curled my lashes lots of times to create the look of some long and curly eyelashes. 

I then have two options for lip colours but if you want a pink or a lighter red shade instead of any of these I have a Christmas lip ideas post coming on Christmas Eve, so watch out for that my loves! 

So the first shade which I may use is an affordable drugstore lipstick is Rimmel Kate Moss in 107. It is a gorgeous dark berry colour which suits so many skin tones and is perfect for the colder season.

The second is the Tanya Burr lip gloss, mine is from her limited edition Gingerbread trio which had this lip gloss and Glittery Nail Polish and a nail file, this particular lip gloss is called 'Sugar and Spice' it has a little bit of colour to it, but nothing to out there so I may use a combination of both on Christmas Day. 

I hope you enjoyed reading and watch out for my christmas lip ideas post coming on Christmas Eve. 

Merry Christmas Everyone!
