A little update...

Christmas has FLOWN by... where has it gone?! Hope everyone's christmas was filled with festive fun :) i know mine was... that and a lot of eating!! I really can't believe new years is approaching... eeek.

Just wanted to post on here a few goodies that i received over the festive period :)

Firstly I received the most beautiful camera from my parents ^^ I was so shocked, I just really didn't expect it! Its the Canon 500D and it has definitely been thoroughly loved already... i kinda had to prise it from my hands to stop myself from experimenting with all the different settings etc.. hah! But from now on my photos on this blog should be uber good quality, as I'll be shooting with that bad boy! Hope you like the picture above by the way... i just couldn't resist a snap or too of the christmas tree before it has to be taken down :(

Anyway, down to the goodies....

I received a new perfume, as i was in dire need of something sweet smelling. Originally i was pining after Chance by Chanel.... but after taking a whiff of Viva la Juicy by Juicy Couture... I knew it was love. So i was thrilled to open this on christmas morning!

I in fact got given a set in which a body lotion and shower gel came with it... yay! It smells girly, and by that I mean it just makes you feel girly when you wear it. Its quite sweet, yet not overpoweringly, and there is an underlying scent of some sort of flower. I love it :D

I also got some really lovely make-up pieces... i was thoroughly spoilt this christmas!

In the picture are two 'merged blushers' by the Accessorize make-up range, and a Too Faced Pixie pin-ups palette.

The blushers are FAB. Seriously. I think they're around the £5 mark, yet their quality is almost level if not level-headed with MAC's mineralised blushers... yep, at a fraction of the price. They are very finely milled, so they go on like a dream, and are excellently pigmented... i may have to trot down to Superdrug and pick up a few more shades!

Pretty Pink

Starlet

 Then we have the Too Faced palette, which comes with 6 gorgeous eyeshadows, a mixture of matte and shimmer, a mini Too Faced Shadow insurance ( which i am really excited try out... I've tried UDPP, but it just doesn't cut it for me), a mini Last Injection mascara and a mini lava gloss eyeliner pencil. Strangely i have yet to play around with this beauty! I've just been so busy :(
I am really wanting to do my first FOTD.... so watch this space ;)

So yes, all in all a very happy girl this Christmas! Not just because of the wonderful gifts, but because of the lovely time I have been so lucky to spend with my nearest and dearest :)
Hopefully with my new camera, I will be much more inclined to blog and WILL make time to do it!! Expect a FOTD and more goodies... I think I'm going to do a 'haul' post maybe? I have picked up some absolute gems in the sales... Clothes, some real nice jewellery pieces... and yes, you guessed it... more make-up :P
