Winter Woolies

With the cold Winter weather  fast approaching, I went to my local Accessorize to stock up on some Winter essentials.

I love the Winter woolies from Accessorize, they are super girlie and fun. Recently I purchased this gorgeous scarf and the matching fingerless gloves/mittens. They are also available in a cream colour with bright pink designs. Knowing me I would probably end up getting the lighter colour filthy so I stuck with the grey. I'll get plenty of wear out of these as I'm sure this Winter will certainly be another cold one. I have a sneaky suspicion that we'll be getting more snow this year, I love the snow but it did turn into a bit of a nightmare. I'm happy with my purchases, I'm sure this combination will go with everything and add something extra to my outfits.

No7 Midnight Enchantment Collection

Midnight Enchantment is No7's Winter Collection for 2011. When I seen it in my local Boots I was immediately drawn towards it. There was so much to choose from in this Limited Edition collection, so I narrowed my purchases down to two products.

One of the things that attracted me to this collection was the gorgeous packaging. Although, it does shy away from No7's regular packaging, what you get instead is gorgeous black sleek packaging with a flower embellishment.

Midnight Enchantment Blush

The stand out of the collection in my opinion is the Midnight Enchantment Blush. I actually bought the last one at my local counter. This blush is almost too pretty to use. With the same flower design as the outer packaging, It has three shades that you can swirl together or use individually. I think the white shade would work really well as a highlighter on the eyes and cheek.

Midnight Enchantment Eye Palette

The other product that caught my eye from this collection is the Midnight Enchantment Eye Palette. I love purple eyeshadows especially for night time so I immediately fell in love with this eye palette. It's small enough to fit in my makeup bag for touch ups, plus it's sturdy which means no opening and making a mess everywhere. There are four shades in this palette that I've swatched for you below.

Both of these products are €18.50(£13.00) which I don't think is too bad. I luckily had two No7 vouchers floating around my bag waiting to be used. I got these two products for €22 which meant a whopping €15 saving. If you have vouchers lying around, I think you should use them on this collection as they won't be wasted. Being Limited Edition, these pretties are sure to sell out fast.

What are you drawn to from No7's Midnight Enchantment Collection??

OPI Muppettes Nail Polishes

I was so excited back in the Summer when I heard this collection was being released. I love the Muppets and most of my childhood was spent watching the show. I can't remember how many times my sister and I watched The Muppets Christmas Carol/ Muppets Treasure Island. I think at one point we knew all the words.  When this collection was released not too long ago I couldn't wait to have a mooch. As always I purchased the mini polishes from the collection. I hardly ever finish the large bottles so I prefer to buy the smaller bottles.

OPI Mupettes set contains four gorgeous polishes from the collection.

Wocka Wocka

A gorgeous shimmery red shade. I used two coats to get this effect. I tend to stay away from red nail polishes but I do like this one alot.

Excuse Moi 

I haven't tried Rainbow Connection yet, I presume Excuse Moi is the same polish except it's pink with multi coloured glitter. I actually like wearing this on it's own more than wearing it over another polish. I also found this really easy to remove compared to some glitter polishes.

Designer.... de Better

One of my favourite nail polishes in the collection. I can see myself wearing this neutral shade alot this winter. It's a taupe shade with red flecks. I used two coats to get the above result.

Warm & Fozzie

Another favourite from this collection, I've been using Warm & Fozzie the most. It's like nothing I have in my collection. A bronze shade with bits of gold, green and copper shimmer. I adore it.

What do you think of The Muppets collection??

New Reads For Winter

I got my hands on these two book recently. Being a bit of a closet book worm I get so excited when I see a new release from favourite authors of mine. So when I seen these two books on the shelf in my local book stores it was no different.

The Time of my Life by Cecelia Ahern

This is Cecelia Ahern's nineth novel so far. It's almost strange to think that P.S I love you, her first book was published seven years ago in 2004. I've been reading her books ever since and some I've like more than others. My favourite book so far of hers is The Book Of Tomorrow. There was so many twists and turns in that book I was clued to it for days. By the look of the cover, The Time of my Life looks very enchanting. You know what everyone says though you can never judge a book by its cover.

The Best of Me By Nicholas Sparks

I love Nicholas Sparks. I couldn't possibly pick a favourite out of his books as I adore pretty much all of them. I find all his books to be so touching and I actually start feeling for the character so much. The Best Of Me is Nicholas Sparks's seventeenth book to date. One of the reasons why I love his books is because there so easy to read. I get through them so fast, I get disappointed that I have to wait so long for the next to be released. This book is sure to be another great love story from this amazing author.

I can't wait to get my nose stuck into these two books. I'm sure there going to be great Winter reads.
