In the Navy - NOTD

As the colder months approach I think us girls love to pack away the bright summery colours in our massive nail polish collections and embrace the deeper, darker, chic looking nails!
*Flash*
For this I always turn to BARRY M Gelly polishes as the have some fab darker shades which look amazing with the high gloss finish that they give.

Blackberry is a creamy navy shade with a seriously glossy finish and is pretty much opaque with just the one coat, though I always apply two for maximum oomph haha. L O V E
*no flash*

What do you think? 

Seeing these images reminds me of how pale I am right now....time to dig out the fake bake I think, c ya later, Summer!

Depotting MAC lipsticks...

......in the process of chopping, mushing then melting ALL of my MAC lipsticks into the palettes that you can buy now. 

It's time consuming and a bit heartbreaking but it's also going to save lots of space and faffing... 
What do you think? Could you bring yourself to do this?

To YouTube or not?

Morning chickas! 

This is just a quick post as I would love your opinion! 

Now I much prefer the blogging side of things If I'm honest but I have been considering filming some videos too? Maybe the odd VLOG? I like the idea of writing a favourites post/haul in pictures/ootd for example AND embedding a video to go with it.

What do you think?

Carbooting, IKEA and a sneaky Topshop haul


It's rare that me and my mother spend a day off together but as neither of us had plans for today we thought we would take a little trip to.....a carboot! I'm really not a fan of car boots to be honest but this one in Fitzwilliam I can tolerate because it isn't too big and the coffee from the burger van is superb! 
We struck gold today actually, someone was selling lots and lots of sealed make up, Maybelline falsies, baby skin (which I bought then lost!!!) to name a couple! I hauled a few bits for my kit as they're sealed and I also got an Estée Lauder lipstick for my own make up because it was only 50p!! (Obviously I would never use used make up on a client, I only ever buy used make up for my own personal stash, and I of course sanitise it! :-)) 
So the car boot was good and I wore my big black school looking coat so I didn't even grumble about being cold! 

From there we decided to pop into Wakefield to have a browse at Trinity Walk and I just happened to fall into Topshop on my day off and pick up some Autumnal pieces that have caught my eye lately 😍
Then, on the way to IKEA, we nipped to subway for lunch but they had the air con on and it was freezing so we ate it in the car, fine dining indeed!! Hehe.
And at IKEA, besides taking pictures of my dream bedrooms and kitchen we found the bargain on the day! A crockery set for 21p a peice!
 Dreamy kitchen!

Is it just me or does anyone else love a random day out when you come home with lots of bargains?!! 

Over all a fabby day, especially loved the singing on the car journey home. Moves like jagger, crazy in love and the bee gees. Cringey but a good laugh indeed! 

How has your day been?
