Video Of The Week.



So the X-Factor finished almost two weeks ago now but I'm so glad Little Mix won! The first group to win and I love the song, the video however is a bit boring and it seems like not alot of effort has gone in to it but hey ho I'm sure their next video will be amazing! Alot slower then my previous video selections but I hope you love it as much as I do : )

Christmas Sparkle.

Sooo this time of the year is crazy! I've just gone back to my old job as a christmas temp just to tie me over before I go back to uni so thats taking up alot of time and then also I have endless amounts of work to be doing which is taking up even more time so everythings a bit manic at the moment but I'm excited for christmas : ) So to get me in the festive mood I'm going to share a sparkly nail tutorial with you all and hopefully you can try it out for yourselves.


I used three products, Barry M's clear top and basecoat for the first coat and then another Barry M product in 'peach melba' and then for the sort of ombre effect on top was my favourite of all time my beloved O.P.I 'rainbow connection' : ) So after applying the peach colour I gradually applied layers of rainbow connection so it created and almost fading appearance up the nail getting stronger at the top. I've done this design before and because I used glitter it stayed on for days, its ideal because I shouldn't have to do my nails until after christmas now - fingers crossed!


Sorry the final picture isn't great, it looks much better in real life : ( This look can be achieved with any glittery nail polish and complimenting colour and its good for the time of year to add even more extra sparkle!

Big Splendour.

Now I made a very naughty purchase today but one I could not resist, I was in boots with my friend and noticed everyone getting very excited about one certain product - The Soap and Glory, Big Splendour Set. I got VERY excited as I'm a massive fan of soap and glory products and it featured to of my favourite products, heel genius and hand food : ) Boots has an offer on at the moment were you can by this magnificient set reduced from £60 to just £25 and it comes in a very nice sturdy carry case/toilet bag.

Now all the products in the set are full size and no travel minis which I think is amazing value for money. When I first went in there was about a stack of 50 of them and as I was leaving 20 minutes later I would say that more then half of them had gone! It features 10 products some of which I have seen before and some products that I never knew existed so I'm looking forward to trying them out, I think a pamper night is on the cards as I'm feeling ill also :(


I will use the carry case over and over again as I always bring so much stuff back from uni and it will be ideal for transporting it all together! This product is clearly selling like hot cakes and if you would like to get your hands on one go to your nearest boots or check out the website http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory-trade-Big-Splendour : ) I'll let you know after a while how all the products are going and I'm so happy I bought this :D

So move FAST girls if you want one!

December Glossybox - Festive Edition.




So I was over the moon when I received this month's glossybox - it's amazing!! They have definitely redeemed themselves from previous boxes, I literally love every product which is a first because there is always at least one that I'm not to fond of.
So the products I received were....

- Bionova Eye Wrinkle Treatment: £43
- Blink & Go Eyeshadow and Blush Palette: £14.95
- Cargo Cosmetics Classic Lip Gloss: £10
- Deborah Lippmann Nail Varnish: £16
- Rituals Foaming Shower Gel: £6.50

All prices are for the full size products and after trying the lip gloss I received I already know I'm going to be ordering another one, I received a glossy coral colour. I have been eyeing up the Deborah Lippmann nail varnishes for a while and I know there very popular in America and every colour they make is amazing, the colour 'razzle dazzle' is a deep purple with a glitter coat and it's very festive and appropriate for the time of year : )

The eyeshadow and blush pallette plus the foaming shower gel are both full sized products which makes this box more then worth the value for money. Im swaying between the blink and go product and the nail varnish as my favourite products from this box and the nail varnish remover mitt was just a nice added bonus for the month! This months box was definitely my most favourite out of all the ones I have received so far and I am looking forward to seeing what January has to offer to beat the christmas blues : )

November Favourites.

So the time has come for November favourites, November seems to have flown by and I can't believe its already December I do love the christmas period though! I only have 5 favourites this month as I haven't really splurged this month as I'm lacking in funds with it coming to the end of the semester and with christmas looming. So here we go... (I apologise for the quality of photo!)


  • Olay Complete Care: Touch of Foundation - I love, love, love this product its amazing to use on days were you can't really be bothered and it just adds a nice tint to your skin. It gives amazing coverage and it isn't really heavy and glides nicely on to the skin.
  • Soap & Glory: Heel Genius - So girls always have problems with their feet because of the stupid shoes they always wear (I'm a fellow culprit) and they end up with blister scars and all sorts. This product is amazing to use on a night, just cover all your foot and slip on some cotton socks and in the morning you should notice the difference!
  • Body Shop: Mango Body Butter - This product smells so good it reminds me of summer and is a nice fresh but vibrant smell, love the packaging also as it nice and easy to find as its so bright and this one is a nice handy travel size so it fits in your bag nicely. With England being in full swing with the winter months moisturising is essential to cure dry skin and this is a very heavy moisturiser that works really well but one to be applied at night!
  • L'oreal: Glam Bronze, Brunette Harmony - Winter months are pretty dull in England and adding a bit of glow here and there is essential to cheer up the day and this is a really good bronzer which isn't really noticeable but gives a nice sheer glow. Retails at around £10 but so worth it!
  • O.P.I: Rainbow Connection - Last but certainly not least is Opi's latest addition from there muppet's collection now the picture doesn't really do it justice but I've got a previous blog post here: http://newfoundlove-s.blogspot.com/2011/11/nail-of-month.html which explains everything to do with why this nail polish and why it is out of this world!
I hope you enjoyed this month's favourites and I look forward to December favourites with lots of Christmas goodies!

Much Love <3
