My November Favourites 2011

                                                                  Hey Lovelies,
I know its a bit late, like a lot but wanted to share my November favourites. Here I'll show 5 things that I have loved and used through out this month. I've chosen 3 make up related products, 1 general beauty and the last fashion. I'll add my youtube video down below so can get more of an ideas on my thought on each of them.

Also will put close up picture of each one to. Hope this helps and maybe get some new ideas :)
                                                                 Love

Polishes for Presents

                                                                Hey my lovelies,
As its the 1st of December (I'm so excited ;)!!!!)  thought I would share with you great nail polish deal I discovered. Its from the brand Beauty UK which you can find in store like Select and Superdrug. Also online with free UK shipping. Till 23/12/11 there is 25% on everything you purchase online with this
code:  XMAS25 . Always love a discount!!!

The deal is spend over £5 and get a free professional salon nail varnish 14ml. There are 36 colours to choose from including glitter polish too.But the £5 you spend for this deal is across the whole beauty range.

What grabbed me to this deal was there new nail gift sets with 6 small nail varnishes 8ml. There are 4 different sets you can choose from with different colours and shades.

I picked the brightly coloured wild child set.

These nail varnishes are really thick which is good for the bight colours as very pigmented and you only need 1 coat. They are a bit tricky to paint on but if you stick with it, its worth the long lasting results. I haven't tried this idea out yet but I think this polish will be good for Konad stamping. Will see and  keep you posted!!!

Here's a close up of the colours:

        

             

                                                                         

          

This colour above is more of a coral colour and the 3rd polish picture looks very similar to this one but is definitely a red !!! The camera and the lighting just couldn't pick up the colour sorry guys!

The free nail polish I chose, and also used in my Indian Inspired nail art tutorial is called Eletric Purple

 





After buying beauty UK salon professional nail varnish I will be getting another very soon hehe :) !!! Is really good quality and great colour for the price.Usual price is: £2.49

Hope you like this post maybe helps with buying some beauty gifts for your girly friends or family. Remember the 25% discount ;)

** Always ask any questions and leave comments on what your thoughts are. Always love to know!!

                                                                Much Love

                                                                    Heya,
The nail art I've created is very simple but stunning. It's Indian inspired with beautiful gold and purple shades. You don't need to buy any extra's for this look as you can just use a nail varnish brush.  Hope the step by step video helps you to do this design yourself but of course you can mix up the colours for your very own creations. Love to know your thought so feel free to comment or ask me anything :)
                                                                  Much Love
                                                                  xx Katie xx

Topshops New Make Up Collection This Spring!!

Just discovered some exciting news!! Topshop have literally just released a new spring limited edition make up range called Sandstorm. This collection is enriched with warm tones and metallic finishes but a contrast of sorbet and neon colours.

These products are perfect for everyday and can build up for a stunning night time look as well. But the range to me is screaming out summer festival with its different colours and textures so can't wait to get my hands on this line, in stores NOW!!

On the Topshop website they created two online tutorials using Sandstorm make up. A Grunge Rock look and a Tribal Warrior look worth a look to get some ideas and tips for your own personal style :)

Love to hear what you think of this new range or just the complete Topshop make up collections, pros and cons xxxx

Home Made Lip Scrubs

Through out the last few months my lips have taken a battering with al the elements. The freezing temperatures of winter then sudden warmth of central heating really drys my lips right out!!!   

Here are 3 tried and tested home made lip scrubs to try out :-

Honey lip scrub:

Ingredients you will need :

• 1 teaspoon of honey
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• a few drops of olive oil

Step 1- Mix together the honey and the baking soda till you create a smooth paste. You can use a container      but a quick tip is to just use the palm of your hand.

Step 2- Apply the mixture with your finger to your lips but most importantly leave it to sit for a few minutes! Then with your finger or just by rubbing your lips together, remove any dead skin on the surface.

Step 3- Using warm water gently rinse the scrub off.

Step 4- Apply a small amount of olive oil while they r still wet, then blot dry with a cloth or tissue.  

Sugar Lip Scrub:
Step 1- Place a teaspoon of raw coarse sugar on to your the palm of your hand.


Step 2- Using your finger add a few drops of water to form a paste. Then lightly rub in to your lips.


Step 3-  Wash away with warm water. Then apple olive oil or my favourite vaseline to keep them moisturised after.  


Salt & Sugar Lip Scrub:

Ingredients you will need:

                           1 teaspoon of salt

                           1 teaspoon of white sugar

                           1 teaspoon of vaseline or shea butter

Step1- Mix all the above ingredients into a container or just the palm of you hand.

Step 2- Put the mixture on your lips and let it soak in for a few minutes. Then rub your lips together or use your finger to exfoliate them. 

Step 3- Wash your lips with warm water. Then apply more vaseline or shea butter for extra moisture and protection. Your lips will be beautifully soft and smooth :)

*Use this scrub 2 or 3 times a week if your lips are especially dry and flaky!
