just a little hobby...a tiny one

My little (ahem ) collection ..will post my new and old favourites in another post x

I don't think I collect things anymore.. I am after all nearly 32! (I keep thinking in my head I already am 32, which is odd, you would have thought I'd try hang on to 31 till November!)

Back to the point, sorry this is quite rambly, I've been up since 4am to do my first ever next sale with two of my also crazy friends, one who is literally 9 months pregnant!!

(I will get to the point in a min, I promise...) I'm not sure if it was the rug I purchased but it's sent my husband, John, into summer clean overdrive and he's literally sorted out everything today. I figured I'd join in, why not, I'd only been up since 4am at said next sale and had then made -up 3 bridesmaids and a beautiful bride, why would I be tired? ..YAWN! POINT JO!!...

Okay, well, I thought I'd re-organise my nail polish 'collection' as to be honest it was in a pink really useful box which was no longer really useful as I couldn't fasten the lid anymore.

I was quite proud of myself putting all the same bottles together, looked quite pretty really. Shame I have another 2 bags full which have to just stay in the bottom of the case..

NOTE TO SELF!! I DO NOT NEED ANYMORE NAIL POLISH..

but they are so pretty..

and make me feel nice..

and don't really cost that much (elf £1-50) ;)

and make up for my lack of style these days

not sure if it is just me but a new nail colour CAN, make all the difference! x x

a little E.L.F has been...

Sometimes the little things are just the best and when my postman finally delivered my little elf parcel (usually next day delivery but had been inundated with orders over the weekend!) I was rather excited this morning! Had ordered quite a few new things from their summer launch and they certainly didn't disappoint!

Firstly, I know, these nail varnishes look kinda the same, but i LOVE them all the same. All of them beautiful muted tones of browny (greige) i think the name is, lilac, a very pale neutral pink and a pale grey! Perfect to go with my usual wardrobe of the same! Sounds boring but makes life a lot easier on the getting ready in the morning front with 2 boys under 4!

from left to right- smoky brown, innocent, lilac and desert haze! Innocent!
I've only tried this one so far but application was easy (unlike some of my Chanel and Essie polishes) and this look was achieved after just 2 sheer coats.


Then there's the luscious Liquid Lipsticks in strawberry and raspberry.. strangely minty and tingly but fab colours, easy application with a rather attractive clear twist pump action and spongy applicator!

Raspberry

Strawberry

Then there's the All over colour sticks, I'm assuming they're a little (much less expensive version) of the NARS multiples and to be honest they are really rather nice. Yet to try them out on my face but the swatches were lovely colours.

Golden peach on the left- Spotlight on the right

I think golden peach will be a hit, however spotlight is a little too chalky and white I'm thinking to be a highlight, but I'll not pass judgement until I've tried them all out properly! Can't wait to try the other nail colours though for £1-50.. two easily applied coats.. who could complain!

Why not take a look? http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk/
