Christmas day 2012

I hope nobody sees this post as a bragging post. I always like watching hauls, especially birthday and christmas ones so I thought I would just show you what I got. A few bits I picked out myself but I did have some lovely surprises. If you see anything I haven't mentioned I'll do my best to let you know where it was from.

Find of the week #1

Everything about this clutch bag for me is perfect. Lime green, grey, a tassel and big enough to carry both necessary and unnecessary items. I got it from Matalan. Although the price tag said it was £8 it was actually in the sale for £5! Bargain. 

Christmas Wishlist

This is probably more of a dream list than a realistic wishlist but I though I would put together a collection of things I would absolutely love to own! This can then be used for me to look at and pine for, but also for people to get ideas from. I might even be lucky enough to receive one or two for christmas. What are on your christmas lists?

Lauren's Way Dream Rollers

I recently bought these sleep in rollers from the Lauren's Way online store. I wasn't sure if they would be any good but I was pleasantly surprised. They were comfortable to sleep in, however I wouldn't sleep in them every night. They come in packs of 8 or 20. I got the 20 cause my hair is really thick and theres lots of it! I only needed about 16 though. I tried them with my long hair and the curls were gorgeous but didn't stay in very long. I've now had my hair cut and I find they work so much nicer. A bit of backcombing and i'm set. 

A week in photos #8

Pinch punch first nail colour of the month..

Yep, the Ciate advent calendar again. I'm not going to talk too much about it as I'm sure most of you have seen this on a zillion other blogs. I'm currently on a health kick before christmas when it goes to pot, so this is perfect for me. Someone usually buys me a chocolate advent too but we'll ignore that. I love how adorable the bottles are all mini with bows and i'm a huge fan of caviar nails. Some of the colours aren't to my taste but if you didn't want some you could always give them to people in addition to their other presents. 

To make this post a little different I'm going to be doing an advent tweet on twitter every day. So every day I open my advent I'll take a picture of the colour nail varnish I've received and will post it on twitter. I'll do it later on in the day just incase all the advents are the same and followers have the advent. I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise for them. This way you all get a mini review on the nail colours and if you like them you can buy the bigger version. 

This is the first of Decembers 

Cupcake Queen 011 - A gorgeous hot pink! I'll definitely be getting use out of this one. To see the rest you can follow me on twitter by clicking the twitter icon in the side bar or by just following @ThreeBlackCrown
