Week #39

Welcome to my week #39

I was covering all week at work last week so I decided to use some undated day planner pages from Paperchase and they worked really well.

We went to see Behind the Candelabra which was fantastic quite sad but good.

We caught up with Supernatural season 8 which was a great season.

Models Own - Red Red Wine

Red Red Wine - Models Own

I recently painted my nails using Models Own Red Red Wine. I have only used this once before an age ago and thought I would use it again.

It's a really nice colour and changes colour under different types of light. I will admit the formula is quite runny but it shows quite a nice colour.

Thanks for tuning in.

Currently Reading: A Caribbean Mystery - Agatha Christie

Welcome to another installment of Currently Reading.

I have just started A Caribbean Mystery by Agatha Christie (which is book #84 this year I think)

I love the Agatha Christie novels and thought I would add in a Miss Marple mystery to this years tally.

Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover

DISCLAIMER: all views are my own and this was bought with my own money 

I was in Boots recently perusing the cosmetic aisles when I saw this on the Bourjois stand. Having recently got back onto nail polish I thought this might be worth a try.

So I have managed to use it and I was blown away by how good it is. I'll admit the smell is horrid but it takes the polish off really quick.

This is a product I will be buying again it is so worth the money.

Currently Reading: Strangers on a Train - Priya Basil

I finished Deirdre and Desire and have now started reading Stranfers on a Train. It is only a quick read so I'll have it finished later. So far it is quite a good read and number 83 I think for my 100 books challenge.

Thanks for tuning in

2nd book for September is The White Queen by Philippa Gregory.

I found it a bit slow to start but I am getting into it.

Week #36

Welcome to my Week #37

Sorry for the low picture quality, had to take the pics on my iPhone as we went to the cinema last night and didn't get back till late.

The colour scheme this week was purple for my mum as it was her birthday on Tuesday.

It was a quiet start to the week last week, I had to book our kitten Crookshanks in for the start of his vaccinations and there was a order at work to be put in for vaccines as well.

The rest of the week was somewhat busier, I had crookshanks appt on Friday , took my stepson round to my friends for a play date with her little boy.

Week #35

Welcome to Week 35.

The theme for the week was Dark Blue, and cats.

Week 35_1

Monday to Wednesday was quite quiet, We went to the cinema quite a lot last week (reviews coming soon) We managed to see You're Next on Tuesday, The Mortal Instruments on Wednesday, and we also saw The Lone Ranger on Sunday.
We also paid for our cat Crookshanks to have his injections, they cost £99 but it's for life, we just need to book him into the vets to get them done.

Week 35_2

As you can see the rest of the week was busy, on Friday, I ordered my partner's Christmas present (tickets to see Within Temptation at the O2 Academy Newcastle), I had a candle party on Saturday, and ended up getting my mum's birthday present.

Sunday was a busy day as me and my partner went to the Metro Centre, and we decided to make a day of it just us and no-one else. We ended up looking round IKEA and buying a new clock for the front room, had to go to Staples (haul post coming soon), and Paperchase.

Bourjois 1 Seconde nail enamel - 18 High Tech

Disclaimer: I have not been paid to review the product, opinions are my own

As I said in a previous post I am getting back into nail polish, so while browsing some beauty blogs I found the Bourjois 1 Seconde Nail Enamel, boasting that you only need 1 coat and it dries within 50 seconds (it was boasting quite a lot for a nail enamel so I thought I had to try it)

I chose shade 18/ High Tech which is a gold colour

Bourjois 1 Seconde Nail Enamel - 18 High Tech

Now I applied 1 coat and to me it just did not look right, to me it looked like it needed 2 coats (so it failed on that boast, but that could just be the colour I chose)

When I added two coats it did look a lot better but because of the two coats the drying time did take a bit longer.

With 2 coats

I did like the size of the applicator as it did conform to the size of your nail and it was quite quick and easy to do. The drying time was still good even with 2 coats.

Overall it's a nice colour but I might only wear this when I'm on a night out.
