My Very Late Christmas Wishlist

 

With christmas only a few days away I thought I'd share my wishlist with you as I like to have a bit of a nosy into other peoples wishlists myself.

1. Fossil Emma Satchel

I've been on the lookout for a good quality handbag that I can wear on my arm as well as across body. I quite like the look of the Fossil Emma Satchel and think it is the perfect every day size.

 2. Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate

This is definitely a favourite of many bloggers and since I recently rediscovered how much I like face oils I can't wait to give this a try.

3. Iphone 7

I would really like a new phone because my 6 year old Iphone 4 just can't keep up anymore. Whenever I get to use my sister's Iphone 7 I am amazed about how fast it is and how nice and bright photos turn out.

4. Heyland & Whittle Citrus and Lavender Candle

I absolutely love candles and particularly like the look and smell of Heyland & Whittle candles. For me they have a very luxurious feel to them and their range of scents is just amazing.

5. Cluse La Vedette Mesh Silver/White

I already own a rather sporty Daniel Wellington watch which I wear almost every day and now want a more dainty, ladylike watch to wear with dresses and for formal occasions. When I first saw the Cluse La Vedette watch I knew that this was exactly what I have been looking for. It is elegant, not too flashy and reasonably priced aswell.

6. To Catch a Thief DVD

This film is such a classic so I would like to add it to my collection of old films.

7. Superdry Hoodie

I love a good cosy hoodie and I think that Superdry make some of the best ones. I really like this blue one with the subtle star print and would love to receive it for christmas.

  

8. Jo Malone Earl Grey and Cucumber Cologne

I've been wanting a Jo Malone fragrance for quite a while and hope to get one very soon as my current perfume is about to run out. I sniffed my way through the Jo Malone store a while ago and found so many scents I liked. The one that stood out most to me was Earl Grey and Cucumber so I definitely want to get my hands on it soon.

  

9. Remington Pearl Curling Wand

My current curling wand is rather hard to use and I'm never happy with the results I get. I heard and read many good things about the Remington Pearl Pro Curl Wand and would like to get it so I can retire my old curling wand.

So there we have it. What's on your wishlist this christmas? 

My top 5 festive nailpolishes 2013

With the festive season in full swing I've been rummaging around in my nailpolish collection to pick out my favourite nailpolishes that I now want to share with you.

China Glaze Ruby Pumps:

My first favourite is China Glaze Ruby Pumps which I only recently got. I'ts my first China Glaze nailpolish and I really like it. I love it's fine glitter and the ruby red colour which I think looks quite elegant and wintery. It is opaque in two coats and looks even nicer with a clear top coat to make it extra shiny.

Barry M Nailpaint in Red Glitter:

I bought this on recommendation of my friend Alice from Pretty Wonderful and it is just the perfect red glitter for me and looks oh so christmassy. It is slightly lighter than the China Glaze one and the glitter is chunkier too.
I like applying it on top of a plain red nailpolish to make it more opaque (another tip from Alice). As with most glitter polishes it takes some time,patience and quite a few cotton wool pads and nailpolish remover to get it off again but for me it's so worth it. With a price of under 3 Euros it's a bargain aswell.

P2 Color Victim in Free to be:

First of all I have to say that this one was incredibly hard to photograph and the pictures don't do it justice. It is a beautiful dark emerald green with a nice shimmer which makes it look very nice and wintery. I love how quickly it dries and it is fairly opaque in one coat although I prefer two coats just to make it look perfect.

P2 Color Victim in Next exit-Party:

As you can see from the pictures, this is a beautiful gold colour with some very fine glitter and a nice shimmer to it. I think the name next exit:party is very suitable because the first thing I thought when I saw it was that it would be a great colour to wear for a new years eve party. It is very easy to apply and dries very quickly aswell, leaving the nails looking great and almost like covered in golden metallic foil.

Essie Beyond Cozy:

Last but not least is Essie beyond cozy which was part of the 2012 Winter Collection. Again the pictures don't do this beautiful colour any justice. Depending on the lighting the chunky glitter looks either golden or silver and is one of the sparkliest nailpolishes I know. It applies like a dream but is a pain in the bum to remove (but I don't care ;-))
As you might be able to see on the picture, I've already used up about a third of the bottle and I will be very sad once I used it up. If any of you know any dupes for this please let me know.



So these were my top 5 festive nailpolishes. Let me know which are yours this season.

Merry Christmas to all of you. :-)
