Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everybody! I hope you all had a lovely day. Unfortunately I've been really ill with a runny nose and a sore throat so I've spent most of my day with a tissue to my nose feeling rotten. I woke up early with the rest of my family this morning and we had toast and opened our presents to each other, my mum and I went to church, then we watched old musicals and ate far too much Christmas dinner. Now its an evening full of Christmas specials and films and no doubt Quality Street.

These are just a few presents I revived from my family (this is in no way boasting):

 Form my big sister I got a lovely Stella McCartney perfume in the limited edition print bottle. It may surprise you that I don't own any perfume, as i'm usually very picky about scents but this smells lovely, quite floral but not too girly. I love the print on this bottle, it very 70s and would easily fit in a makeup bag.


 My mum loves Clarins, and usually gets both my sister and I a little gift set from there at Christmas, this year it was the 'All About Lips' set. Inside is a small makeup bag with four products inside: 'Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector' which is a seer tinted gel lipgloss with a doe foot applicator, 'Colour Quench Lip Balm' which is a hydrating gloss, 'Colour & Moisturising Lipstick in Joli Rouge' which is a beautiful berry nude lipstick and 'Intense colour & Shine Lip Gloss in Gloss Prodige' a berry lip gloss.

Now I know what your thinking but bare with me, I know UGGs are like marmite, and I too hated them until I tried them on in store. My friends who own a pair completely agreed with me that they are like walking on clouds, and my other friends just gave me a look of disgust when I said I was going to ask for a pair for Christmas. I went for the mini's in grey, which I think are subtle enough to not look like UGGs, but still be really cosy. 



I was hoping to have my first blog OOTD to be my Christmas dress, but because I am so sick, I haven't ventured out of my onesie, So instead here are my Christmas nails. I used Essie 'nourish me' as a base coat, then Essie 'forever yummy' as the main colour, over this I used Barry M '105 red glitter' and to top it all of W.I.P at Urban Outfitters 'squares'. Its so sparkly I'm almost blind.

  1. Wow you received really nice gifts! The Stella McCartney perfume is so pretty! And I like what you did with your nails -- the silver squares are a nice touch.

    I'm sorry you were sick on Christmas, but I hope you had a good day nonetheless!
