Personalised Phone Case from MrNutcase ♥

Personalised Phone Case*

I don't know if anybody else has noticed this, but it seems to be trend lately to have a personalised phone case?! And like any other person, I just had to follow the trend and try one out for my self...and their are so many sites that you can get one from but MrNutCase it by far my favourite! 

You have a option to either create a personalised one or one of their pre designed ones, and as well as that when you deicide to go with the personalised version you can decide from so many different collages, and all you have to do is import your pictures, adjust them to your preference and then your're done! 

One thing that I love about MrNutCase, it that there is only one price for everything, it will only cost you £14.95 no matter how many photos you want, or even which design you go with. 

There are so many different phones that you can pick from, and trust me you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to picking your photos you will have a whale of a time trying to decide which picture to put on. 

Delivery was super speedy and I was sooo excited when I opened it, and it feels very light weight as I went for this option however you are able to get a leather sleeve as well.

Nails Of The Week|| Essie Wraps in 'So Haute' ♥

The first nail post of 2014 is here, and this week it is all about the nail wraps. I usually stay away from them because I don't like the faff and if it gets complicated then I loose interest in doing them. These Essie ones are totally different to any of the wraps I have used in the past on myself and other people, you don't have to heat them and then apply you just have to measure, stick, press and file. Easy as pie!

The first thing you need to do is find out which sticker best fits your nail, to make it easier to find this out I cute around the plastic instead of having to guess. 

I didn't use them or all or even as many as I thought,as when I filed some off one nail it fit on to another nail and this way I saved on the wraps. And after completing both hands - I just fell in love. Not only was the application really easy but I love the overall finish and design, after realising that the pattern isn't as bright as I thought originally! 

Urban Decay Naked 3; Review+Swatches♥

I just want to start off with apologising, if you are one of those people who are reading yet another post on the UD Naked 3 palette! The entire world has gone loco for this palette, and there have been many reviews and swatch posts already posted, but I thought that I would just share my opinion with you as I just have to rave about it! 

This has been one of the most anticipated makeup releases ever in my opinion, Urban Decay have stolen so many hearts and one of them being mine. I adore by Naked 1 palette and had my heart set on buying 2 last month, but it all changed when 3 popped along and stole the spotlight! I decided to skip buying 2 and move straight onto 3 instead. I am unsure about whether or not I am going to buy 2 yet, but am hoping to buy Basics..anyway enough of a ramble lets' get on with it!

After days of sitting beside the door waiting for the postman to deliver this as a parcel, IT CAME! When I opened it, my heart skipped a beat. I was in complete shock, it was just so beautiful to look at and touch that I was so scared to even use it.After photographing everything and staring at for the whole day, I decided to use it and it was like putting pure heaven on my eyes. 

What comes with the palette? With the Naked 1 I got a full size of the original primer potion(that I love) and this palette comes with a double ended brush from UD and 4 samples of their primer potion, each with a weeks worth of primer enclosed > Original, Eden,Sin, and Anti-Aging.

Packaging+Shadows? The case is a rose gold colour with waves that are indented across it and it snaps shut. It is filled with 12 beautiful eye shadows that are all very soft, blendable and very pigmented. There is a mix of matte and glitter/satin shadows that are just overall amazing. My skin is fairly dark, and all of the shadows swathed fine apart from Dust which took a few layers to show up as it is very heavy with glitter and Trick which would not show up on my skin at all, so there is no swatch - apart from they were all a treat to use!

Here are a few pictures and the swatches, you can expect a face of the day tutorial in a few weeks using this palette! I am also really proud of my photography with the palette as the light was awful!

Let me know your thoughts on the palette down below, and what looks you have already tried!

Favourites of 2013 || Beauty,Skincare&Random ♥

Happy New Year! We have made it into 2014 - how crazy! .And now as we all recover together from all that food and crazy shopping, I bring you my 2013 Favourites. This time of the month would normally be my favourites for the month of December - but I thought I would do something different this time and do them for the whole year instead. This year has been a busy one for me especially - and I think a lot of you out there. And I hope that we go into the new year with our heads held high and achieve everything that we want!

First up we have some skincare and hair/perfume favs of the year! These few items I just had to include in this post. On the far left we have a perfume that I have completely fallen in love with and use every single day with out fail. Wonder-struck by Taylor Swift is my signature scent as they say. It smells amazing and I am so shocked that I still haven't used it up!

Then we have the Sexy Hair Weatherproof Spray*, I do not know how I would of survived this windy and rainy weather without this bottle of goodness. It has become a holy grail product and I use it everyday with out a doubt. It really helps my hair from being ruined by the wind or rain and I am so thankful I have it!

This next product is no stranger to anyone out there, this is the Soap and Glory Hand Food which is by far the best hand cream I have ever tried. It doesn't leave my hands feeling sticky or un usable as it sinks into the skin really quickly as well as getting rid of the dry bits.

The Primark facial wipes are a new discover of mine and the past few months that have gone buy, I keep on re-purchasing them because they are so good. For start off they are really cheap to buy and second the two sides of the wipes makes it easier to remove everything off my face at night.

Sat quietly in the corner over there is the Witch Hazel Spot Stick, just like the weatherproof spray this is my holy grail. If I have ever spot a breakout that is coming through,; I use this as often as I can to stop it from developing further and if it does then I just carry on until its all gone.

Now then, let's move onto the makeup bits of this post. First up is a favourite of mine that probably will always be featured on this blog. The Urban Decay NAKED palette, my life feels complete after being given this. I am without a doubt completed when I have this on my eyes, the colours are so pigmented and you can use the shadows day and night. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Then the white packaging is the MUA Matte Lipstick in Wild Berry which has been my winter colour, I haven't stopped applying this to my lips. I don't know whether its the colour that I love or the fact that it's matte. There is just something about it that I adore!

I had to include the Simple BB Cream in my 2013 Favs, only because it has been one of those items that I actually started out hating and then slowly I fell in love with it and have been using it every single day. The coverage isn't the best with this but it does the job of giving me some colour and a little coverage to last me all day without having to pile on the foundation every single day. 

Since having it I have also been loving the Smooch Eye-shadow Duo in Filthy Rich*, this combo of colours works so well together and looks great on my eyes as I have a very dark skin tone.This paired with a nude lip looks amazing in the night and day and the shadows alone are so bloody pigmented it is crazy!

Now moving onto the random bits and bobs! First up is my music favourites and I have been loving lots of different songs and albums this year and here is a quick run threw. 

- Beyonce by Beyonce 

- Katy Perry - Prism

- Bangerz by Miley Cyrus

- Salute by Little Mix

- Midnight Memories by One Direction

- DEMI by Demi Lovato

- Red by Taylor Swift

And of course, how can I forget about FOOD!
