Butter London Holiday Glitter Trio!

On Wednesday I was in Harvey Nichols as there was a Christmas event on that offered 15% off all beauty products (very rare). After browsing what they had to offer nothing much caught my attention except this set!

I don't own any Butter London polishes so when I see this set I fell in love. This set itself didn't come cheap at €35 but seeing as one individual polish is €14 and I got 15% off (bringing my total down to €29.75) how could I say no! I'll be wearing these polishes alot over Winter as they are so festive. Another thing I love about these polishes are the names especially Chancer!

Here is a quick Nail of the Day using Rosie Lee. Isn't it beautiful? The result shown is after three coats! This glitter polish looks so nice when the light catches it. I'm looking forward to trying the other two polishes, I'll put up another NOTD post when I do.

What Butter London polishes should I try next?

Christmas Gift Ideas #2 - Clarins All About Lips Set

This is my first ever purchase from Clarins. All About Lips Set is a present I could see girls loving this christmas. It contains four mini lip products that come in wearable shades.

All the products come in this gorgeous gold cosmetic bag which is big enough to store makeup brushes or some of your go-to products in your handbag.

Here are the lip products you get in the set:

Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector in 01 Rose Shimmer  & 03 Nude Shimmer

Clarins Colour Quench Lip Balm in 03 Candy Pink & 02 Peach Nectar

The Instant Light Natural Lip Perfectors have gotten rave reviews throughout the blogosphere so it's safe to say their brilliant. Rose Shimmer is the shade I've been using the most, it looks so nice on. I always have it in my bag. I hadn't heard much about the Colour Quench Lip Balms before I seen them in this set.These little gems are so moisturising, not sticky at all and smell like cherries (need I say more!) Clarins is a brand that I've never been drawn towards. After using this set I am going to try some more of their products in the future, Passion Face Palette I'm looking at you!


Clarins All About Lips Set retails for €20 (£17) and is available at counters and online.

Christmas Gift Ideas #1 - Korres Party Survival Kit

I started this series of posts to give you some gift ideas for Christmas. I know how hard it can be to pick out presents for family members and friends. I hope you find it helpful!

With Christmas party season, fast approaching I think the Korres Party Survival Kit is a great gift. This gorgeous gold box contains a selection of best-selling products that will come in handy after a night of partying.

Included in each kit are these lovely products:

Evening Primrose Eye Cream SPF6 5ml 
"Eye cream for the reduction of fine lines and dark circles"
Wild Rose 24hr Moisturiser SPF 6 10ml 
"24-hour moisturiser for normal and dry skin"
Guava Showergel 50ml
"Invigorating blend of tropical fruit"
Guava Body Butter 50ml 
"Extra moisturising cream for dry skin conditions"
Milk Proteins 3 in 1 Cleansing Emulsion 14ml 
"3 in 1 cleansing, tonic and eye makeup- removing emulsion"
Lemon Refreshing Chewing Gum


Korres Party Survival Kit would be such a nice gift for a friend or family member. I love how the products are the perfect size to pop into a handbag or for travelling abroad. If I had to pick my favourite products from the kit, it would be the Guava Little Showergel and Body Butter. This stuff smells so yummy and reminds me of holidays. It's very fruity, definitely a firm favourite of mine.

The Korres Party Survival Kit retails for €22 (£18) and is available to buy in House Of Fraser or online.
