Bobbi Brown Party Collection - Lipstick



This lipstick is part of the Bobbi Brown Christmas Holiday Collection 2011 and when I saw it I couldn't resist.
It's so pretty, such a gorgeous colour - I'm really into this kinda of dusty, soft roses.
The shade is Party Alice and I only paid £3 because, as I mentioned in my Christmas presents post, I used my £15 voucher to buy it.




love the neon pink of the packaging :)

I wore it in the Secret Santa make up look... what do you think?

FOTN - Secret Santa


FACE
L'Oreal Studio Secrets primer
MUFE High Definition Foundation in no 117
Benefit Erase Paste in medium
Urban Decay Afterglow in Crush

EYES
Mac Paint Pot in Painterly
Laura Mercier Luster Eye Colour in Crystal Beige

LIPS
Bobbi Brown Lip Color in Party Alice

Easy, low maintenance make up to meet up with some friends and exchange presents for Secret Santa.
Also, badgy comfy sweater to hide indulging food weight from the holidays... ;)



Sweater from Gap: I love it but I haven't wore it much. I got it winter 2009 and I have wore it 3 times in total (once a year). I just really can't stand heavy clothes on my skin, I'd rather layer; it's good it has 3/4 sleeves so I feel less like suffocating but it's also so thick that I can't wear a coat on top of it.

Christmas Presents



Mega Haul of my Christmas goodies!





Ok, explanation of the cross in the first picture: I took this picture on Xmas morning but I don't own the Clarisonic Classic anymore. Basically, on Boxing Day I saw Clarisonic Mia on Buyapowa.com so I convinced my fiancé to return the other one. Oh boy, it took a lotttt of convincing - I tell ya! He really really wanted me to keep the 'better' version but I honestly couldn't justify the extra 60quid: I'm just as happy with the Mia. :) Actually I'm in love with my Mia - I can't wait to use it every evening.
I'm still trying it out, at the moment, to see what's best for my skin: I've been using it every night for the last 10 days (alternating the gentle hydro cleanser - which came in the box - and refreshing gel cleanser - from feel unique' box).
Currently, I'm researching which are the best cleanser for this tool; I'm set to buy Philosophy 'Purity' or one from Elemis. Please, comment below if you have any recommendation.
Do you have a Clarisonic? Would you like to try it?


Bobbi Brown - Bobbi's Party eau de parfum
This is so nice! Describing a perfume is always a challenge but what comes to mind are words like clean, fresh... Yes, i would say it smells kinda like soap - which I like but I don't know if the word sounds too appealing to other... if you pass by a BB counter give it a sniff and tell me what you think, ok? :)
We got it in House of Fraser at the beginning of December; they were running a promotion with O2 where if you spent £40 you're getting a £15 voucher. I got a free lippie with the voucher - also from the Bobbi Brown Party Collection (but it's sooo pretty that it deserves a separate post!).




loving this snood - it's super warm
Bag is from Zara and it's the perfect size: I can fit loads in it plus, it' has got cards slots in the front pocket so it's perfect also for a night out if I don't want to carry my wallet with me.
I like the college/retro feel of it and I've been looking for a green bag for some time actually! Perfect choice!





Fossil necklace is gorgeous! I love marcasite because I like vintage/vintage inspired jewellery. 
This has got silver and black crystals and stones making it super-sparkling.
There's a Fossil shop in the St Enoch Centre in Glasgow now - It's good they expanded from watches and they also sell jewellery and bags. I like their stuff, quite pricey tho.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

*I've just been rediscovering this foundation recently - I forgot how good it is... good colour match and the formula is air-whipped and melts into the skin. Have you ever tried it?


I wanted to dress smart for Christmas so I went for a lady-like look...
Skirt: Zara
Shirt: Warehouse
Necklace: Topshop
Shoes -> I don't know, I remember going shopping with my mum for these for one of my cousins baptism so they must be around 15 years old; I remember the boutique where we bought them, very expensive - glad I can still get some use out of them (and glad my mum didn't throw them away!!) ;)
