“Oooh Shiny” was the first thing that came out of my mouth when I opened these new Zoella Cosmos Holiday goodies. I tried out the Reach for the Moon handcream and Milky Way Bath Milk Powder. Both come in a light vanilla peppermint scent while the rest of the collection is inspired by creamy mint […]
Avon Iconic Lipsticks – Holiday Collection
Growing up, my grandma loved Avon and we spent holidays there so always got to choose something from the Avon Catalogue. Shopping with Avon is so much easier now that you can shop direct online and have it shipped to you rather than deal with an Avon rep, but Christmas is still important to them. […]
Paint it Pretty Polish Candy to my Cane Swatches
Last but not least, we have Candy to my Cane from the Paint it Pretty Polish Metallic Holiday Collection 2018. A forest green metallic that is opaque in two coats, this is that classic Christmas tree green. A touch shimmery but no underlying sparkly colours. This matches up so well with Holly to my Jolly, […]
Paint it Pretty Polish Holly to my Jolly Swatches
Getting into the more traditional Christmas colours from the Metallic Holiday Collection. Paint it Pretty Polish Holly to my Jolly is a slightly muted red metallic. It is not the classic holly berry red you would think from the name, with a touch of orange and not quite as in your face as many holiday […]

It does show some brush strokes but levels easily for full opacity in two coats. A glossy top coat helps hide the brush strokes too. This is not a […]
Remembrance Day Nails with BPY40 Waterslide Decals
With Remembrance Day yesterday, we choose poppy themed nails for #CBBxManiMonday this week. So these are the nails I had all weekend. The base is white stamping polish as my bottle of regular white polish suddenly dried up. Topped with poppy themed waterslide decals from the Born Pretty Store BPY40 set and My Indie Polish […]
teapigs Lemon & Ginger (Lazy Days) Tea Review
A naturally caffeine free blend of ginger, lemongrass, lemon peel & licorice root, teapigs Lemon & Ginger (Lazy Days) tea can be served hot or iced and is great for a cold or just relaxing with a cuppa. Unlike many ginger and lemon teas, the teapigs blend is fairly mild. Enough of a kick that […]
Paint it Pretty Polish Winter to my Wonderland Swatches
Starting off with Winter to my Wonderland from Paint it Pretty Polish’s Metallic Holiday Collection. No surprise that blue was my favourite but it also has gorgeous silver sparks that make it really pretty and cool on the nail. It is a very shimmery metallic blue, perfect for winter themed manicures. But do watch it […]
