Meadow-Haul

DISCLAIMER: I am not trying to brag, I am just showing some of the items I recently bought on a trip to Meadowhall, and which may feature on the blog in the future.
Products with a * means they were a free gift.

Welcome to a haul post, on Monday I went to Meadowhall for a shopping trip (come on who doesn't love shopping).

Essence Eyeliner Pen


Ever since using the Benefit They're Real pen it has given me a confidence boost to use liquid eyeliner. When Essence launched in the UK it was only at a select amount of Wilko stores in the UK, but just recently they have launched the brand nationwide so when I walked into my local Wilkinson's I had to stock up. One of the products I bought was their eyeliner pen and I will admit it is love.

When applying to the lids the pen doesn't drag and allows for a good application of eyeliner to the lids, it also has great staying power and I can say that it lasts really well throughout the day.

The pointed nib allows for precise application of a fine line or apply using the side of the nib and you have a thick line. Now as a liquid eyeliner novice I found this to be a great product to use and for such a cheap price it didn't break the bank at £2.50 (it can be found on the Wilkinson's website here).

Thanks for tuning in

Honey Ryder - O.P.I.


I bought this a while ago and have just got around to using it, Honey Ryder is from the Bond Girls collection for O.P.I (I bought this on Nail Polish Direct, there are still some items left from the range on their website). The whole collection was made up of their liquid sand polishes, these polishes when applied to the nail had the texture of sand when dried (hence the name liquid sand).

Empties (Bumper Edition)

As I said in my New Year's post this is the bumper edition of my empties (I have been keeping them from August onwards, time to get rid and quick methinks!)

December 2014 Favourites

Welcome to another favourites post, I will admit this one is a small one (I only have four favourites from December), but still just as good.

Happy New Year 👍🎉🍷

Happy New Year everyone, I hope you have a great 2015!!

With every New Year comes the resolutions (and then they are always broken by March, that might just be me), this year will be no different, I have set myself the goal of putting a blog post on the blog daily so by the end of 2015 there should be 365 posts by yours truly. I have set myself up a blog planner that should make blogging easier, and I have also set myself some time just to blog on a Sunday afternoon (I will stick to this scouts honour).

I am starting this year full of confidence that I will stick to this plan, and look forward to a December favourites, and a massive empties post (I have been keeping them since August even I don't know what is in there). I'm also going to be starting 2 series this year. Mani Monday will be one of them so every Monday watch out on a Twitter and Instagram for the post of what polish I'm rocking at the moment. I will also be doing a weekly round up on a Sunday showcasing the week's blog post.

So keep your eyes peeled for tomorrow's post and let's see if I can do a post a day!

Thanks for tuning in

My hiatus will end soon!

To everyone that reads this blog my hiatus has been long, but I think I hit bloggers block, and with work becoming busier the schedule just become a bit much to cope with.

So in the New Year I will return and bring you reviews, monthly favourites and hopefully my first giveaway. I am currently rummaging though the endless amount of notebooks I have to start planning blog posts for the New Year and hopefully bring in some more followers.

Thank you for persevering and hopefully I can bring you some great content next month.

Thanks for tuning in
