Wait A Minute Mr Postman

Hoping when the lovely man (or woman) from parcel force turn up tomorrow this will look as good in person as it does in the picture.



I'm not normally a dress buyer, finding a dress that fits me properly in all the right places is quite hard and i  will undoubtedly end up sending it back, but when asos were offering 20% off their own brand stuff and free next day delivery (and the boyfriend said he would pay) i couldn't say no. And on top of that, i've been eyeing up a cross ring for ages and ordered one at the same time.
Ill post tomorrow and let you know the outcome! 

Also, i've noticed all these deals in the past few days (mainly from American brands/sites) for "Black Friday" i'm guessing its the sales after thanksgiving, but i'd never really noticed it much in past years. Is that me just being an idiot? maybe i'm checking my e-mails too much and getting too many offers from my favorite brands! (online shopping will be the death of me!)

Oh, tomorrow i'll do a post about what's been going on recently too, i've been trying to blog but ive got uni work to do (which im avoiding) and then not knowing what to write and trying to figure out what i want to include in my posts - photos of myself, clothes, etc. If any of you have opinions pleeeeease let me know.
Anyway, ill explain more tomorrow.

Eyeko delivery


So this morning i got a couple of packages from Eyeko. Firstly i got my ambassadors pack. This included a few "business cards" for want of a better way of describing it. Also a postcard and a lipgloss in Knightsbridge.



Along with this, i ordered 2 nail varnishes in Vintage Polish and Rain Polish. Fat Balm in Minty,
Graffiti Eyeliner in Black, and for spending over £15, i got a free Silver Glitter Eyeliner. 

The consistency of the polishes are quite runny in comparison to Models Own or Barry M, but still come out of the bottle true to the colour of the bottle and work nicely on their own or even on top of a white base coat.

The graffiti eyeliner pen i've wanted to try for ages, i can't express how nicely it goes on and how it doesn't budge when its dried, definitely worth a try.

The fat balms are much smaller in person than i actually imagined them to be, but still really nice. I chose the lightest one in the minty flavour and instantly you can smell the mint in it. The packaging isn't the nicest, but the product itself seems to make up for it.

The glitter eyeliner isn't something that i would generally wear, but maybe for a night out or fancy dressed (i actually tried it on my nails today for a difference to a design) and it seems so nice. Lots of glitter!

Lastly, the Knightsbridge lipgloss. I'm not really a lipgloss wearer, but i love the colour (and taste) of this. Its not in your face, but it doesnt seem to rub off easily either.




On another note, sorry about the photo/s, my camera decided to play up and make everything orange tones, so mega editing and finding brightest light (all photos were taken balanced on my macbook for the light from the screen) and i've lost the bit for the charger for my SLR and both batteries are dead. Im hoping to properly sort it out tomorrow, but im hoping to spend all day at uni finishing my D&AD & YCN briefs

Don't forget to enter my code E12578 at the checkout for a free gift, delivery is also free for anyone in the UK or Europe!

Giveaway?

So another day of not doing much and considering what i could do for my blog next got me thinking. I know its coming up to christmas and everyone seems to be doing giveaway's at the moment, so i thought i'd jump on the bandwagon. Although this will (hopefully) run alongside xmas, it will be for when i reach 50 followers (i know it's not much, but it's a milestone for me! :)) I've only really got thinking about this today, so i've not got many solid ideas, but the goodies would include nail varnish, hair products, accessories, make-up and smellies. 
What do you all think f the idea for this? If you think it's good, spread the word as the sooner we get 50 followers, the sooner the giveaway will take place.
Thanks guys.

Fancy a free nails inc nail varnish?

Today i picked up this month's (December issue) of Glamour Magazine. Im not normally one for buying magazines, but i noticed that you were able to get a free 10ml (full sized) bottle of Nails inc nail varnish. The colour i got was Jermyn Street, "a greige - soft taupe" 
I havn't tried it properly yet, but i did a little swatch on my nail and it seemed like such a nice formula, and a very similar colour to Barry M's mushroom or  No7 speedy dry varnish in Beanie. 






There were other colours available that included pinks and reds (though i'm not sure of their names, sorry!)

Did any of you manage to pick one up? if so, what colour did you get? x
