French Polish - Vamp style!

This weeks nail design is a good match for this weeks Make Up Monday.



Its also an easy cheats way to fresh looking nails! If like me your nail polish wears away at the tips but you don't have time to take it all off and start again, this is the perfect way to revive them!

I already had on a dark red base which had seen better days so I have added a gold tip and then a smaller black tip over the top. This look fits in with the vamp look that is hot right now and also gets a few more days out of your polished talons! You can of course do this design from scratch and swap the colours around too!

Stay Gorgeous

The Berry Collection from Sleek

I first saw a sneek preview of the Berry Collection from Sleek cosmetics on the gorgeous Em's blog and so on thursday last week I made sure there was time in my day to pop to superdrug to get my hands on it!



This collection consists of a Blusher, Khol pencil and Lipstick all for an amazing £9.99! The colours are perfectly on trends and great for all those Christmas parties!


The blusher, Fenberry, is a deep rouge which is great for a winter make up look, this is a product where a little goes a long way so be careful how much you apply to your brush! It has a mirror built in the lid so is a great handbag item!

The Mossberry Khol pencil, is a jumbo pencil, its a really nice creamy product, its goes on the skin really smoothly and builds up nicely! With it being a redish brown colour it will warm up your make up look.

The Cranberry lipstick, is amazing! I love this colour, it's a real deep blood red and is niuce and matte on the lips, I wore mine with a clear gloss added over the top for a bit of added glamour!

These are great products to have so I would suggest you rush down to superdrug and pick one up before it's too late!

Stay Gorgeous

Make Up Monday - Vamp it up!

This weeks Make Up Monday is a look that is a key make up trend for the festive season! Vamp is back, dark smoldering eyes and deep red lips are all the rage, add some red nails and you will be seriously glammed up and ready to turn some heads!



I got this look using the Berry Collection from Sleek cosmetics along with a few other make up bag items. This look could be toned down slightly to wear in the day or vamped up as much as you like for the evening!

To see how I got the Vamped up look take a peek at my tutorial video....


I hope you like this look.

Stay Gorgeous

Make Up Monday - Collection 2000 Glam Crystals

These little beauties are perfect for glitzing up your make up look over the festive season! Glam Crystals Eyeliner from Collection 2000 come in 6 different colours, they are so sparkly and are very easy to apply!
 Hustle (top) Le Freak (bottom)
This photo really doesnt show just how sparkly they are but trust me, for all those glitter lovers out there you must go to boots and buy them now!

I purchased mine in boots and at the moment they have a 2 for £5.00 offer on Collection 2000 (I didn't notice if it was everything or selected items!), so now would be the perfect time to stock up! These would also make great secret santa pressies or stocking fillers!

I already have some Make Up Monday tutorials planned for these babies!!

Stay Gorgeous

Fashion Friday

Seeing as the temperature seems to have plummeted in the last couple of days I feel the need to pop to the shops (any excuse!) and stock up on some winter woolies, but one thing in particular I maybe interested in is the hooded scarf!
I have seen a few in the magazines and I really want one but I am wondering if its a look I can pull off?

 This one is from Boohoo and costs £15.00, obviously I will look just like the model as soon as I put it on! 
I want a really chunky knit one, with fur around the hood! So my question to you is what do you think of these? And have you seen any nice ones I should check out at the weekend?

Stay Gorgeous

Confidence Booster - Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj may not be everyone's cup of tea but one thing is for sure she oozes confidence and isn't afraid to show off her unique style! Something we can all learn from her is to embrace your own style and be confident doing it!

Stay Gorgeous and Confident
