Back & All Excited For Christmas

Ohhh my gosh its been a crazy 3 weeks of deadlines..and I'm through the thick of it and on the home straight for CHRISTMAS!...Almost.Just a little post for you all today but you'll be glad to know through my University 3rd year deadline woe I have been pitilessly accumulating dresses for the party season in some way of promising a reward of endless (well not quite) partying once all of the work is completed.I now have 3 dresses. One only of which you have seen....my Christmas party dress.
Toady's post is sooo purrrty and that is Benefit's Powder Wowza
Firstly the packaging is in standard benefit cosmetics form...Im more of a sleek packaging kinda girl in all honesty but its a new bright addition to my makeup collection.Don't let this picture  deceive you because this product is tiny..I mean generous for a borrower if you've ever watched the film but its enough to muddle your makeup brush through.Makes a lovely travel item though.
But the colours oh my!In the set we have the infamous Hoola (bottom right)Coralista (top left)and Bella Bamba (top right)
I bought this set with the view that the Benefit blushes are bloody expensive so in this way if theres ultimate love with any of the shades I could purchase in the distant future with an informed choice.Gosh I never realised how serious that sounds!In all honesty my main interest in the blush palette initially were to try out Hoola and Coralista...I mean in themselves their iconic, but the bizarre thing is its Bella Bamba I'm loving, maybe because of its red undertones for some reason I always reach for pink blush.Maybe this is the start of a new sophisticated red blush phase I'm not sure.I bought mine from ASOS with my handy Student Discount among other party dresses...at the moment I believe its sold out.But I know Debenams currently have a beauty discount of 15% so look out ;)
In Other NewsI have received my secret Santa today...wow theyve done a wonderful job sending me products from researching my blog. I don't know who you are but I owe you a huge thank you. I am genuinely thrilled....and also typing this with sparkly gold tips on my nails!...more on this soon.
I missed my November favourites...I am aware of this damnn!
I am currently mad for OPI Best Of The Best. I am not a nail art kinda girl but my god my nails are changing so much because I'm eager to try all the colours!
I have so many new bits coming soon so stay posted...oh and I'm back!!
Catch you very soon
