Blogmas Day 7: Stop biting me!

Hello,

So I decided to do two days for Blomas because I couldn't think of anything interesting to put on my second blog, so Ta Dah! You get a two day stretch on Style Steal. 

One thing that a lot of us have a habit with is biting our nails. I was one of them, still am at times :S but I have developed a weird love with longer natural nails, and as someone who never used to care about my nails or how they looked, it seems I have come a pretty long way! 

These days biting my nails seems ludicrous, and on top of that I only have 4 on each hand rather than the regular 5 (Just found a blog post to write about) so keeping them in a "decent" state has become an interest, plus I have begun a love of nail polish that one day will probably destroy my bank balance, as if I didn't love enough things.

Todays nails have been coated in Avon's Ruby slippers nail polish although I feel it makes my hands look a little old... bit weird. (A classic red with silver and red glitter mixed in. It's one of my Christmas colors)

I'm yet to have a manicure though, I always feel that the nail technician will try and prompt me to get false nails which I don't want and I'm not the best of people to say no, so knowing my luck I'll enter the never ending ritual of false nails.So it's au naturel for me. For now anyway!

What I want to know is, if you stopped biting your nails, how did you do it. Do you wear false nails? or Au naturel? And lastly How often do you manicure? 

Let me know in the comments, Facebook or Twitter x

I hope you've enjoyed this short and simple post. 

Till next time

Blogmas day 6: Pout

Hello 

So Day 6 is here! Only 18 more days to go till Blogmas is over :( Today's post is back to beauty, specifically back to +Avon UK and their lip products this time! 

As an ex Avon rep 2 years ago I recieved a phonecall telling me about their new little red dress collection. I jumped all over it, and gained a new favorite lipstick. Pout. I love it, I loved it so much I bought three just incase they stopped selling the collection. They did so clever me for once :P 

Now if you follow me on Instagram or Twitter you will have seen the post where I posted a picture of the lipstick on, if you want to see it then click one of the links above, you'll find it there! 

Pout is a very natural nude-ish peachy pink, it's heaven in a lipstick, I paired it with +Avon UK Plump pout lipgloss in pink pucker, they go together really well and the colors fit my skin tone really well. 

I also recently bought a new lip liner and gloss from there, so if you want a review of those then let me know in the comments, Twitter or Facebook 

Safe to say Pout has become a staple color for me and I need to find an identical color for it as i'm about to run out! If I could have it perma-tattooed to my lips I probably would...Actually I take that back I wouldn't go through the pain :S

Anyways if you have the opportunity to try out any of Avons lipstics go for it! Most of them are amazing

Till next time

Blogmas Day 4: High Street Fairy Lights

Hello

Well yesterday I may have accidently missed blogmas :S ooops but I was christmas shopping for over 6 hours and well didn’t have enough time to post a blog and get it to you guys and girls :S Sorry

But todays blogmas post is going to be all about Christmas shopping!!!

Me and my friend went to +liverpooloneofficial (Liverpool One) and well it got me well in the mood for Christmas festivities. I just wish I’d taken pictures of everything but I did take one! If I go back then I will post it on my Instagram for you so go over and follow me on there to see updates of Christmasy stuff!

The high street is one of the best places for their displays, outdoor lights and general christmasyness (making up words again)

It really makes me want to spend all my money, so high street, your displays are working. Plus I get all giddy when I see a bit of tinsel and a twinkling light :S Bit weird.

Liverpool has yet again got the little “german” inspired markets selling their foods and gifts  in the wooden hutlike pop up stores….yay, I want to go back already..

The only thing I am missing this year is the cold cold weather, sounds weird but it doesn’t feel like winter at the moment, more like autumn, what’s it like where you are? I am praying for a little bit of snow before the end of the year even though it can be a big pain in the arse to deal with. Britain doesn’t exactly cope with snow very well….. How stupid!

Anyway I think I have rambled on enough, I’m just excited for Christmas now, but before I go here is a list of the shops which had my favorite window displays.

River Island

Superdry

New look

JD sports

Starbucks

And they are all I can think of. If you’re in the area make sure you pop into Liverpool One even if it’s just to have a nosey around. Have fun shopping for your loved ones and I’ll be back tomorrow with another Blogmas post on my other blog [Click here]

Alternatively you can just follow me on Facebook or Twitter and wait anxiously for the link :P either way I hope you’re enjoying them. Let me know in the comments x x x

Till next time

Holidays are coming #Blogmas Day 2

Hello,

Welcome to day 2 of #Blogmas if you haven’t read day one then (Click here) it’s on my personal blog as I’m alternating the days between the two.

So Blogmas is leading us up to Christmas, and well, like most people Christmas is probably one of my favourite times of the year! From about the 20^th of December, it’s the lead up that frustrates me, the stores are packed with people shopping like they’ll not be able to leave their house for weeks, taking all the good stuff!! Present buying and never knowing what to actually get someone, I even wrote a Christmas Gift Guide on my old blog and I still don’t know what to get people…Where’s the logic in that!.

Ok but it’s not all Doom and Gloom! I love winter nights and Christmas films, not so much Christmas music because they overplay it and it never changes…. Just give me a name tag with 

scrooge on…

It’s part of me being brought up in a religious family, we never really got excited for Christmas once I got older, it’s like all the fun was sucked out of it after the realization (Spoiler alert) that Santa was no more than a cruel joke to get me to behave…it didn’t work!

But back to the cold nights, I love an oversized jumper, actually mines so oversized I drown in it, but that’s the point it’s not a “fitted” oversized jumper it’s a man’s XXL! It’s huuugge, I never go out in it, I just get comfy in it behind closed doors instead, over my pyjamas : Curling up on the couch with a good cup of tea! Best feeling ever or hot chocolate if I can be  bothered making it!

A little something like these

Christmas Day and Boxing day make my life! I’m a big family gal, and with 4 brothers, 2 step brothers, 4 step sisters, 6 cousins two sets of parents and everything else in between it should be a big family day, unfortunately I only see the two sets of parents and 2 of my cousins around actual Christmas time, just writing that list of people down got me really excited.

We all have family we don’t see, my stepbrothers and sisters live with their mum, and it was their dad that married mine so I never really get to see them, I haven’t seen my biological brothers in a year or so, they live with their dad, and I’m all on my lonesome because I live with nan and her husband (One set of parents) So whilst Christmas is a family time, I don’t really get to see much family, but I am grateful I have them in my life and I know that some people this Christmas aren’t so lucky and spending on their own. Which the thought has now made me pretty sad

Here's the coca cola advert just to get you excited!!!

But I think this has been a long enough post! Keep an eye out HERE for tomorrows installment or I’ll be posting all the links to FB and Twitter, so you can check there too!

Till next time

Stay safe
