It's Christmas......

As it's Christmas Eve I thought I'd do a fun post to give you an idea of my Christmas, I found this tag and thought it'd be nice to do, hope you enjoy it!...

Do you prefer a real Christmas tree or synthetic?

I love the smell of a real christmas tree and have had them in the past, but for the last few years we have faked it! As I am very fussy and like it to look perfect... The perfect shape, height etc and that's not very easy with a real tree unfirtunately.

You're in a coffee shop, it's December, what do you pick up?

I'm not a massive coffee drinker so probably a Mint hot chocolate or a Gingerbread Latte.

What's your favourite colour scheme for decorating the tree?

I have bright pink, aqua, lime and purple as my room is fairly neutral I like to add a little colour into the room and my five year old Daughter loves those colours, but the lights are white, I can't stand multi-coloured lights *shiver*. 

Giving or receiving?

Giving! I love choosing out gifts for people, I'm also rather strange as I really hate opening gifts in front of people it makes me feel so awkward?! Am I the only one?.

To mince pie or not to?

I don't like homemade mince pies.. The pastry is always to thick and dry but I can handle a shop bought one.... Does that make me a snob? Ha

What's your traditional Christmas lunch?

Turkey or Beef with all the trimmings... A big pile of Roasties, mash, honey roast parsnips, sprouts, peas, carrots, stuffing and lashings of gravy! Not really a fan of christmas pudding so I'm likely to reach for a chocolatey dessert..

Christmas day fashion

PJ's for opening pressie's then after breakfast we get dressed, I don't necessarily get dressed up but I make an effort.

What's your favourite Christmas song?

Wham Last Christmas! As soon as I hear it on the radio I know it's Christmas.... I also like The Pogues Fairytale of New York.

What's your favourite Christmas film?

I love Home alone 1 and 2, Elf, The Snowman.. There are lot's I enjoy watching.

Open presents before or after lunch?

Before! Who waits until after?! I am sooo impatient! I'd open them on Christmas eve if I could.. There is also no chance that my little girl could contain her excitement until after 8am! 

I hope you found this post fun, feel free to give your answer in the comments or do the Tag yourself!

Wishing you all a Fantastic Christmas and New Year, Best Wishes.xxx

Hello
I just want to say a massive Thank You to all my lovely readers, i love talking to you all & reading all your amazing comments, discovering your blogs & reading your posts daily

 

I will be hosting my 3rd 'Share the Love' Blog Hop on Tuesday 4th December.

I am looking for some lovely people to help me Co- Host it, Blog Hops are great fun & help you meet new friends, promoting your blog & gaining new followers.

I have seen people go from 1 to 100+ followers from Blog Hops.

If you would be interested please leave a comment below to let me know, if i get a lot of response i will keep your details until the next one as i host them fortnightly!

I will then send you all the details including the Blog Hop Button so you can include it in your post.

NOTD Models Own Disco Mix

I'm such a huge fan of Models Own polishes, there is such an enormous variety of not just colours, they have a wide selection of chrome finish, shimmers, glitters, metals, crackle and of course, all the colours you need for a perfect french manicure.

This colour is just stunning,  With flecks of sparkly blue, purple and pink, it looks amazing when the light hits your nails, it looks incredible, it can also be worn over the top of so many different colours to add a bit of bling.

 

It's perfect for adding a touch of sparkle to a plain outfit or a little black dress! 

It also dries extremely quickly, I love the look of Glitter varnish, However I'm sometimes a little hesitant about buying it, purely because it is such a hassle to remove. But I love this & would highly recommend this shade if you're into glitter!

Are you a Glitter lover?

Urban Decay Rollergirl Palette

With its sexy neutrals and captivating brights, this fun four-shadow palette can roll with you from the office right into your next hot date. Smoldering brown Darkhorse shadow was previously featured in the much sought after Naked Palette, and the coppery Suspect triumphed in the Book of Shadows. Verve is a pale oyster shimmer that also makes a great highlighter! Woodstock, a hot pink best-seller, is as perfect at the beach as it is at a bar. 

The palette contains 4 eyeshadows,

Woodstock is a dark fuchsia pink with a soft frost finish.

Verve is a pale, muted taupe brown–like a lighter Mushroom. 
Suspect is a muted champagne bronze with a frost finish.

Darkhorse is a dark, sultry bronze shimmered brown.
Aswell as a miniature Lip Junkie Lipgloss & a 24/7 Glide-On Eye liner.

Crush is a semi-sheer magenta pink.

Whiskey is a medium-dark, warm-toned brown.

I have never been disappointed in the quality and pigmentation of the Urban Decay eye shadows. My favourite shades from this palette are Verve and Suspect, they are perfect to wear all over the eyelid with just some eyeliner and mascara, its such a fast and easy look to do.

I like that they have added Woodstock as a pop off colour to this palette. I think it brings something fun and different to the palette. I know some people don't like it but I actually think its pretty cool, not sure when I'll be brave enough to wear it though!.

Another great Palette from Urban Decay!!

What's your favourite Urban Decay shade?
