Dove and Nails Inc

Hey,

Just an FYI for you all, I know you've probably already seen this around the blogosphere! But Dove are currently running an offer with Nails Inc, if you purchase any two Dove Deodorants (Roll On RRP £2.24, Aerosol RRP £3.20). You can choose either Havana (creamy pale pink) or Copacabana (vibrant coral) as a freebie (these are worth £11). This offer is running the 15th June to the 12th July at Boots!

Not to miss out on a freebie I popped along to my local Boots today and treated myself to Copacabana.
It is such a bright summer shade and I only applied one coat for the swatch below - I love a one coat polish.

Will you be tempted? What shade do you fancy?


Thanks

NOTD China Glaze Up all Night

Hey,

I just wanted to show you my new manicure that I had done on Wednesday. I really struggle when I have my nails done to choose a colour but this time I settled on China Glaze Up All Night.
I have had two coats applied with a top coat. I love the colour and navy is one of my favourites you can see my previous post on my other navy shades here.

Once I saw it in natural light I did think it looked very similar to Barry M Navy, what do you think?

Thanks







Accessorize Lipgloss in Magical

Hey,

As you maybe aware on her both myself and L quite like Accessorize make-up, and find it value for money. We have both featured some other items from their range previously on here:




Today I am featuring a lipgloss I picked up from the range, its called Diamond Lipgloss in Magical. The gloss itself is a pick shade with gold shimmer running through it.These lipglosses retail at £4.00 and comes in around 10 shades, you can see more here at Superdrug. Again as with the other Accessorize products the packaging is nice and the lipgloss is non-sticky with a sort of Ice cream float smell to it! I quite like the lipgloss and I am tempted (for £4.00) to pick up a couple of other colours (Temptation, Crush, Divine, Mysterious).




Have you tried anything from the Accessorie range? What are your favourite products or what would you like to try?




Thanks

Wedding Pictures


So I've already shown you some pictures of my wedding day, but I just wanted to quickly show you some pictures of taken by our Photographer as we were so impressed. We used Memories by Victoria Holden and it was actually Victoria's husband - Chris and his brother Stephen who photographed the day. It was his brothers first time taking the natural shots of the day and we were beyond impressed - with both of them really. The pictures are amazing, and I usually really don't like pictures of myself!

Firstly, we actually had their service for free as we found them via the Wedding Forum, as long as we agreed that they were free to use our images etc, which was fine with us. We were on a very tight budget and didn't think we could afford the usual £800 to £1000 you tend to pay for photos. We'd found a few around £400 to £500, although no-one was available on our date. At one point I really thought I wouldn't find anyone!

In the end, we were both so impressed with their service and attention to detail. Also very impressed that even though the hung around until the around 9pm we hardly noticed them - which personally I think is great!























The guys went for dinner jackets - so then the hubbie wanted to re-create some James Bond style pictures and the photographers kindly brought them some props.








and of course K's little one had to join in,


and even my Grandad played along,







I love the fact that they court this as well. Us girls were trying to take a nice sisterly pic and these two idiots jumped in the shot! Yep, that is mine and K's idiots.



They also brought a large picture frame with them for the evening reception.

The guests loved it.










The photographer packages cost £495.00 and they cover the North West as they are based in Warrington.

Also check out if you like their facebook page, you can see more of our pictures.
