Favourite Nail Combo - Inglot and Miss Sporty

Genuinely been dying to share this with you! I think deep down i was always a fan of that little "bling" on the nails (though too ashamed to admit it) but I've seen so many people wearing glitter nail polish I think it's a bit acceptable now. I especially love this combination because of the nude-like polish underneath, it definitely makes the glitter stand out. 

The nude polish is from Inglot, and if they have a counter near you I command you to buy some Inglot polishes. So amazing. I think they're around £8 here, so not TOO bad for a nail polish but i normally tend to stay around the £5 mark. Let me tell you something, i have NEVER come across a nail polish that doesn't chip for 5+ days, but this stuff is really great. Another advantage is you get 15ml of product, a nice big bottle that will last you for a lifetime. 

Anyway the other polish is the glitter one by Miss Sporty, which was super cheap (£1.99) and i'm so surprised by the quality. There's bigger bits of purple and blue glitter, and finer bits of silver glitter - so sparkly! The coloured glitter isn't very flashy so it's not too "out there" and tacky. One coat of the polish is enough  (I'm wearing two in the picture) so if you think about it, you're getting a lot of product for £1.99!

Christmas

For me Christmas is always a weird time of the year. I love it and hate it at the same time. I adore having time to spend with my family, as we don't normally have much time to get together. I can relax and hang around in my pyjamas all day and not do anything. On the other hand, the run up to Christmas drives me nuts - last minute shopping in crowded shopping centres, crazy errands and personal work on top of that. I still get disappointed every year that Christmas is just one single day - it's over before you notice! 
I was lucky enough to get quite a peaceful Christmas this year and to spend it with my closest family. I finished my shopping surprisingly early which is very unusual for me. Anyway, all I wanted to show you is some things that I got from my family. Since I'm saving up to get a new Mac, I got very little apart from money - but I find that it's the little things that make me happy! Where's the excitement in opening a boring envelope?! 

Cosy slippers, YSL-esquee ring, Zara jumper, Coco Mademoiselle Perfume, and Coco Mademoiselle Shower Gel (don't think i have the heart to use it... it looks so pretty!)

Topshop "Arrow" boots

I promise you this is not animal cruelty, haha. Me and my brother got a tortoise each - this is my one featuring my ever so curious dog Lucy. 

Did everyone else have a good Christimas? To be honest I think I was a pretty lucky girl this Christmas! 

What's In My Bag

I know I haven't blogged ... since March. As pathetic an excuse as it may be I was busy with my exams, then I went on holiday and here I am! At first I was really confident about my exams but now I'm really unsure and genuinely dreading getting my results on the 4th of August. 
Decided to do one of these what's in my bag posts because I always see them, and I actually find it quite interesting to see what people carry in their bags! I wouldn't say that i carry an insane amount of stuff around with me, because frankly my shoulders get really sore after about 2 minutes. For me it's only the necessities really!

Tapestry Satchel - River Island

I have fallen in love with this bag at first sight- the fabric is fab, it's roomy and the long strap just makes it perfect!

Clockwise: 

Make-up Bag- Primark

I'm quite a sucker for anything floral... so i had to have this. It's very Cath Kindson-esque and was around £1.50- BARGAIN. It's easy-peasy to clean it so it suits its' role as a make-up bag perfectly! I don't carry the same make-up with me everyday, it's quite logical that I'd only be taking the things that I'm wearing at the time...

Inside: 

♥Inglot Lipgloss in 34 

♥Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Coral Queen 

♥L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara 

♥L'Oreal Superliner 

♥Rimmel Eye Brow Pencil in Dark Brown

♥MAC Studio Fix Concealer 

♥Couple of Kirby Grips and hair bobble

♥Nina by Nina Ricci perfume - need to stock up on this!

♥Comb 


Phone - Blackberry Bold
I have upgraded to this from an iPhone despite being told not to by an amount of people. To be honest I prefer it to the iPhone. It's more compact and it's 500x easier to type. 


Sennheiser Earphones

Always carry these with me and I don't imagine using any other type of earphones. The quality of sound is by far better than with any other earphones I used (and trust I've used plenty!).


Paul's Boutique Purse 
I have sworn to never get anything by Paul's Boutique - I find most of the things extremely tacky and overpriced. Since my last purse broke, I knew a replacement had to be found ASAP... I spotted this and felt inclined to buy it because of the floral design-told ya I was a sucker for florals!Set me back by about £30 but I think it was worth it! 

Glasses

You probably wouldn't guess but I have quite poor eyesight and need to wear glasses, boo! These are my fancy D&G ones. Absolutely love them!

Sunglasses

Definitely not as fancy as my glasses, but these were another Primark bargain- got them for a mere £1! They are quite flattering and I've seen very similar ones at other shops! They have them in a couple of different colours and patterns (eg. pink, black, mint, red floral etc.) 

What do you carry in your bag?


P.S If you haven't yet noticed I changed my lay-out about a bit because I thought it got a bit messy. xx
