Magazine Freebie | Marie Claire Ciate Caviar Nails

I'm not usually one to let folk know about the little freebies that come in magazines, but I thought I would share this one. Marie Claire is a magazine I usually don't buy but the little Ciate set that was being given away sold it for me.

The shop I went to didn't really have much in the way of choice, there was the red set and this purple one. That could be down to the fact that cheap so and so's stole the sets out of the magazines. But anyway, I'm really happy with the one I bought. The purple polish looks really lovely - the shade is called Pillow Fight, it is just such a lovely greyish purple. The balls that go with it are in the shade Sweet Dreams, and are a mix of light and dark purple shades. Since I've just got it I've not really had a chance to use it properly but I'll be doing a review soon hopefully on it.

What I Got For Christmas

I feel like I shouldn't have to say this, but I will anyway. I am in no way at all trying to brag about what I got - I know for a fact that I am extremely lucky to have been given as much as I have and I will love everything that I was given from the people I love. I love these posts so I thought I would do my version. Warning - this is going to be a very picture heavy post. Oh, I was going to do a Christmas OOTD but then I realised that the post would be the exact same as my birthday post was.

My mum completely spoiled me, not everything here is what she bought me - some is from other family and friends. My mum always gets me an egg themed gift and this year she didn't fail on that. I think I'll do a wee post on my new egg holder. Its so cool!! Because of the lush stuff and the air freshener my room now smells like a perfume factory. I got a few Soap and Glory things, two were slightly damaged - so I'm hopefully going to get them replaced. My mum also got me an epilator, I'd been after one for ages so I was really happy with this - its not nearly as painful as I expected it to be.

I hope you had a brilliant Christmas and I hope your New Year is great too!
