Ciate Mini Mani - Day 24

So at the end of the Ciate Mini Mani, you get treated with a full size bottle of Ciate nail polish. I got the gorgeous Serendipity, a super sparkly rose glitter that will look fabulous with my Christmas Jumper today!

I hope you all have a lovely Christmas 

Urban Decay Naked 3 - Christmas Look

Now, I'm not the most skilled with a make up brush but I thought that seeing as I am in the possession of the very gorgeous Naked 3, I would take a jab in the dark at pulling together some looks, starting with something a little festive. 

For this look I prepped the eyes with the Original Primer Potion all over the lid and under the lash line. I find this is an essential move with this palette as some of the metallic shades are hard to transfer otherwise. 

I then went straight in and covered my lid with the copper/rose Trick, using the thicker end of the brush to really layer it up and add the shimmer I wanted for this look. 

I then took the smaller Crease end of the make up brush and added a touch of Dust to the inner corners of my eyes. This is one of my favourite eyeshadow tricks because it instantly adds light to your eyes.

To add some depth and texture to this look I took the deepest shade from the Naked 3 palette, Blackheart, and blended it into my crease from the outer corner. 

To take the harshness away from the bold colour of Trick, I took Strange, the lightest shade in the palette, and used it to blend out Trick towards my brows.

Finishing with some Miss Eylure lashes and a coating of Soap & Glory Thick & Fast, the look is complete.

The Perfect Christmas Outfit

I have had somewhat of a love/hate relationship with Jack Wills over the years. Falling in love with their dresses but loathing the saturated use of their hoodies everywhere you turn. But I have yet again, fallen in love with JW and its for a very, VERY good reason. 

I mean, just look at that dress, its like fashion porn!

I love tartan print at the moment and this cute Charlton Dress ticks all the boxes for making that office party an amazing one this year.

Essie - Leading Lady

A go to polish for instant Christmas nails, Essie Leading Lady was 2012's winter collection headliner and I think it's well worth a rebirth for some festive flair this year.

Packed with glitter in a deep red colour, you'll find this nail polish pretty flawless. After a few days wear as well the polish hasn't budged. Perfect.
