Superdrug 3 for 2...






A few weeks ago as I was driving to my parents house minding my own business I noticed that the elusive One parking space outside my local Superdrug was empty....this never happens...I took it as a sign and pulled over without pausing to think A.do I have any money? and B.do I need anything?
The answer to both questions was yes which in the case of A was fortunate!

Realising it was 3 for 2 across all cosmetics and Clearly feeling the need to bring Summer back into my life that day I purchased the Bourjois colour boost lip crayon in "Peach on the beach" Barry M hi shine Gelly nail paint in "Blueberry" and Collection cream puff in "Fairy cake."

As you can probably tell my lips have started to get dry now that the cold weather has hit and the macro setting on a camera doesn't help matters so I am preferring the balmy texture and glossy finish of the Bourjois pencil over the matte finish of the Collection lip cream right now, although the cream puff's are always a big love of mine especially for the bargain £2.99 price. Both however feel moisturising when applied, the cream puff "sets" and emphasises dryness throughout the day whereas the Bourjois lip crayon continues to feel comfortable and moisturising.

Nail wise, I love how there has been so much more choice on the high street in the past couple of years and have been guilty of taking good old faithful Barry M for granted, bypassing it to coo over Essie and Models own, but I had to come crawling back tail between legs when I was in my tiny town's teeny Superdrug as they have not quite made the leap into bringing in the big guns! Very happy I am with my polish of choice though...Blueberry has been on my nails for the past 2 weeks...I always get bored of my nail polish colour after about 5 days but I have actually taken this off and reapplied a fresh coat that's kind of a big deal, you go Barry!

Have you taken advantage of 3 for 2?

Quick and easy EOTD...Xmas party?

Evening lovelies :)
I hope you are all good! 
This post is the second that I have written tonight, I just stupidly wrote out a whole post on a Jayne Eyre costume exhibition that I went to see a few weeks ago, then when I went to edit my pictures realised that I had accidently deleted them off my camera, so I guess that's a valuable blogging lesson learned today! I.am.a.dope!  Haha ooh well! Luckily I had a few pictures on there that I had taken of an eye look I did based on a picture of Jessica Alba that my friend Rhiannon sent me last week and had asked me to do a video on the look for her.

 I wasn't going to post these because I don't feel like I got the Jessica Alba look quite right (Im a sucker for perfection) but I do think it's a pretty look for the festive season and I am feeling sooo in the festive spirit at the moment I thought it would be nice to glitterize the blog to match my mood :) ...

Products used
benefit lemon aid eye primer all over the lid
MAC bronze eye shadow (on a MAC 217 brush) blended all over the lid
Urban Decay Half baked eye shadow (on a MAC 239 brush) on lower lid up to crease
MAC solar bits pigment (on a MAC 239 brush) patted randomly on top of the bronze and half baked  
MAC bronze (on a MAC 219 brush) on inner corner of lower lashline
Urban Decay Half baked eye shadow (on same 219 brush) on outer 2/3 of lower lashline 
Collection 2000 intense colour black kohl on top and bottom waterline and smudged slightly under lower lashes
Lashes- Eyelure 107's

For some reason I didn't line the upper lash line to disguise the lash band (or trim the end of the lashes. Rookie. lol!), I think I was rushing out of the door, but you would want to do this with these particular lashes as the band is quite noticeable. 
I hope you like it :) 

Anyhooch I have a bubble bath waiting for me which I can't wait to get into as I've felt quite poorly today so hopefully it should sort me out, then I plan on settling down to watch the rest of True blood series 1 with the boyf under a blanket with a big bar of nestle crunch! Oh and there is also a new Yankee candle burning away (vanilla frosting!!) 
 I do <3 cozy winter nights ;)
