A bit over the top | Christmas tree nails | Presents under the tree

I'm on quite a few different platforms these days and it can be majorly confusing, so I thought I'd break it down and show you guys all the ways you can follow me and my beauty ramblings.

So Christmas is over, there's still some turkey lurking in the fridge, chocolate wrappers under the sofa, but I'm now looking forward to the new year... I think 2013 will be a good one! 

Sometimes just the little things put a massive smile on my face. I may do these kind of posts from time to time, maybe when I feel down or maybe when I just fancy logging memories of great things. One of my all time favourite bloggers, Emily, has her famous 'Five Things' posts and I have always loved the idea, so call it inspiration! 

To all of you, I wish you a very Merry Christmas! Thank you for being such amazing readers and always leaving such lovely comments, it means the world to me. I've been running this blog for nearly three years, but the past few months have been the best, the most rewarding and enjoyable.

This is a bit of a geeky post but I was so excited to go to the ASOS head office and see behind the scenes I just had to share it with you guys.

Burberry 'Khaki' is a very dirty green that's not bright at all, it's actually verging on brown. After using this all over the lid, I added a tiny bit of 'Club' to the crease and underneath the eye. This is one of my all-time favourite MAC eyeshadows, its green but when you blend it out it turns a really nice, warm brown. I love layering Club on all over the lid for a night out. 

This was the day I nearly killed my mother. She tried, she did... but these were literally the only photos I could salvage from the day. Any photographers out there want to move in with me?

This year, like the past two years, my family have decided to do secret Santa. We got to the point a few years ago where were were buying so many gifts for so many people that we started a maximum £5 rule. The problem there is that we then received not very nice presents. So now we do secret Santa, so we all get one present (maximum £30), but one present that we really want and will love.

A few old favourites and a few new tries all mixed together and I kinda like the final look. For my eyes I went bronze, using two pretty shades from the Aerin Holiday Style Palette.

I've had to stay clear of any lipsticks and just keep my lips natural with a bit of NUXE Reve de miel lip balm. It seems to be the only thing helping! Seeing as I can't experiment with my lips I decided to go a bit sparkly on the eyes, using the the shade 'Fez' from the NARS 'Pleasure of Paris' palette
