May Glossybox and Wedding Bells ♥

Howdy! So it's almost the weekend time again, and I'm super excited, especially with all this good weather that I haven't yet been able to have a share of.

First off, I just had to include this picture of my little Bunnykins! I cleaned up all our bedroom so she can have a good run about now, so we decided to shut our door and leave her out through the night so she can hop in and out of her cage if she wanted. I think she really enjoyed her little self, and as we were settling down for bed, this is the position she got herself in! How sweet is that! We love her to pieces, she couldn't get much cuter.

So it was the one year anniversary Glossybox this month, and I was excited to receive it, as always! But across the board I get the feeling everyone was expecting something a lot more this month, but I suppose we have to remember it IS a sample testing service, and not everybody is going to like what goes into it, so I guess the guys at Glossybox HQ have their work cut out. I love the pretty paper packaging this month.

I won't waffle on too long, but for a quick overview I'll put what I got, and briefly what I think.

Noble Isle Shower Gel = Smells actually like fairy liquid, doesn't do anything for me but I'll use it as a tide-me-over, or give it to the hubby because it does smell a little masculine.

Express Beauty Mask with Honey = I got two of these sachets, and I didn't know if it was a face or hair mask because half of the packaging is in a different language! It is a face mask and I do like them however, I am still yet to try this so I'll let you know.

Si Lolita and Lolita Lempicka Perfume Samples = I have never smelt a Lolita Lempicka fragrance before, but they are ones I always see in the airport duty frees. I think the Si Lolita does smell a little bit old lady - I'm gonna put it out there!! But the Lolita Lempicka, oh my gosh I love it. It is super sweet - just how I like frangrances, and I'm thinking of purchasing it or asking for it for my birthday.

OSMO Berber Oil hair treatment = I have actually never tried a hair oil before, so I was pleased to see this. I'm not really into hair care much apart from dying it to buggeration, but I'll definitely try it. My hair is pretty long and thick so I don't know if it would cover mine but we shall see!

Eldora False Eyelashes = I got some with gold streaks in! I am very pleased with these because I am currently planning on doing a few self portrait shoots for my make up portfolio and these go exactly with a look I am going to be trying out, so surprisingly good for me.

Lastly a Glossybox mirror and Balloon, I love the mirror, can never have to many because I always lose them! And its double sided so that's good. And then there's the balloon. Well, when am I ever going to use that?

Overal an OK box, nothing I totally love in there besides the Lolita Lempicka perfume, so there we go. Bring on the next one!

Just a quickie, anyone else noticed Tesco have started doing these acrylic spinney pen holder majigys? This was only around £3.00 so I thought it would be good to put just my everyday pencils and brushes in. All they need to start doing now are those clear Muji drawers and my prayers would be answered!

Finally, on to the weekend! If you follow me on twitter - @misswicktilleth - you may know that I am off to the lake district with Ed, his sister Maria and her boyfriend Jonny tonight. We have a meeting with a wedding co-ordinator at the hotel we want to get married in up there at 10am tomorrow morning (Saturday 26th), and she is going to show us around then we are putting our deposit down! I'm so excited, it is all becoming pretty real now and once we have got this down, we can really start to plan things. Hopefully I will get some pictures up there so I shall pop them on next week.

These are some roses Ed got me last night as a surprise! Aww he is so cute, I'm a lucky woman!

Have a great weekend guys!

Ciao for now XxX

Weekend Antics ♥

Hi everyone! Had a good weekend?

I have nothing particularly specific to tell you about today, so I am going to warble on about things I managed to do over the weekend! Probably not interesting, so if you feel like clicking that lil' cross at the top of the page, I probably wouldn't blame you! If you choose to stay, then hai! Hope this is at least mildly entertaining!

So Friday night I met up with my lovely chums from my old work, Lucy and Becky, and just went for some pub grub and a good old natter. It was great to see them as I miss them lots, had a good chinwag and a good chocolate sundae - whoops. This was the make up I had to go and meet them, and I really love the NYX lipstick! It is super bright! I got it from the Beauty UK show, and this is a combo of a Peggy Sage lipliner all over, the NYX lippy and then a NYX lipgloss in the same pink over the top. The names should by in my Beauty UK post if you wanna know! Earrings are from Primarni, necklace from Topshop.

Me and the hubby to be wanted to spend some quality time together this weekend, as we felt we hadn't been able to over the last few weeks, as work has been pretty busy etc. So we made sure we had a nice weekend to ourselves, and had a little look round the shopping centre in Tamworth. This wasn't everything I came out with but I just want to share with you two of the bargains, just in case you are looking for any!

This is an aztec print dress, in my favourite ever material - being the sheer chiffon. I have so many shirts and clothes in this material, I just love it. So I saw this dress and was already happy that it buttoned right up to the top, which equals being able to add a pretty necklace! It is also long sleeved which is a win win, and when I looked at the label it had been reduced from £20.00 to a tenner! Bargalicious in Matalan!

I have ran out of perfume recently so I was wondering around the mahoosive Marks and Spencers they have in Tamworth. I'm not a Marks and Sparks kinda woman usually, but they took me by surprise! I was standing at the perfumes sniffing them all like a moron, when I cam across this. It is called dreamy days and OH MY LIFE is it good! There was a 100ml bottle for £15.00, or the 100ml bottle with shower gel for £15.00, so I thought I'll have the free shower gel please! It is gorgeous, I can't get enough of the smell, it's super sweet and I can't stop sniffing myself all day - which couldn't sound any weirder but you know what I mean! Go sniff it! And if you don't like this one, Marks have loads of lovely fragrances for a slash of the price of your Gucci's and Dior's. Great for a tide-me-over perfume until a birthday or Chrimbo!

After shopping, I wanted to do a nice meal for Ed because all our dinners had been rushed over the last week! On come dine with me, I saw someone do Asparagus with hollandaise sauce and a crispy poached egg and thought it looked yummy, so I had a go. Thinking I'd got more eggs than I had, I didn't buy any when I went shopping but it turned out I only had six. One I had to whisk up to be an eggwash to stick breadcrumbs to the poached egg, two had to be poached eggs and two for the hollandaise! 

On the hob I put a saucepan of boiling oil ton the front to deep fry, and boiling water to poach on the back hob. I always crack eggs onto a plate to slide them into the water to poach them so as not to break them, and the went into the water. Cut a long story short, I poached them both, split on one the way out so only one egg was left! I cracked the remaining egg onto the plate, and blummin' well slid it into the oil by accident instead. Numpty much? So we only had half an egg each, but oh well, it turned out OK! Click HERE for the recipe.

I had also seen on Louise from Sprinkle of Glitter's blog, that she had found Disco Baths on Pinterest! What a great idea! It's good for kids aswell as us big'uns, safer than candles too! The idea is to put glow sticks in the bath. I got some and then Ed made my name out of them! How cute! 

(Sorry about the image placing, I can't get it centred for some reason.)

Finally we took a little venture to somewhere called Barton Marina, which isn't too far from us, and we haven't been before. It is where canal boats moor up and there are a few little boutique shops and a gorgeous pub/restaurant. We went to get some grub, and this was the view from our table. It is very picturesque and the food was totes amaze! If you are around Staffordshire or Birmingham it is definitely worth a little visit!

So that was my weekend really, bit of a rambly post, but better than nout. My next one should have a little more structure!

Nails for the weekend ♥

Howdy lovelies! Just thought I would do a quick post to end the week, on my nails I am sporting for the weekend! As you may or may not know, I am an avid user of the Boots falsies, which are a pack of 200 nails for £8.50 with glue! I think they are super duper, and worth a try. 

If you've got big ol' nails like me, they fit like a treat. They are also anti chip, and I have very very rarely seen any on mine, no matter what polish I use. They can stay on around 5 days if you glue them on well in the first place, but I always carry the glue round with me for those just-in-case days! I have had to repurchase the glue a couple of times, because with all those nails it does run out pretty quick, but its super strong, so don't go attaching fingers to thumbs like I do, and you end up with a delightful print of skin on top of your nail. Anyone else do that?

SO, onto the nails! I have got a gorgeous polish from Essie, and a lovely textured glitter from China Glaze. I got them from the Beauty UK show a few days back (read the post HERE). I have been desperado to try out all my polishes since then, but due to work and things it's not always suitable! With the weekend on the way, I have been let lose! 

So the Essie polish is called Sure Shot, which is a deep raspberry pink with a blue undertone, and the China Glaze on the accent nail is called I'm not Lion. I really like these colours together, and the accent nail is a textured glitter, which isn't something I have actually had before but I really love the effect - feels like sandpaper!

So there we have it. What nails are you sporting for the weekend? And do you have any of these polishes, if so what do you think??

Have a fab weekend guys,

Ciao for now XxxX

Weekend Antics ♥

Again, it's been a while, and I am still yet to do some beauty blogging! Forgive me, it hasn't been the top of my priority list, but I sure am going to try! 

So, onto the subject...As I mentioned previously if you have read my blog before this, you would know that I went to Cambridge over the weekend to see Marina and the Diamonds. I went with my other half Ed, his sister Maria and her boyfriend Jonny. It is the second time we have seen her and I think she was even better than the first time. It was a really good gig, and with good company we had a great laugh. 

Here is Marina herself! Sorry it is bad quality, it was hard to focus on her as she moves around a lot.

We checked into the hotel just before we went over to the gig, but as we were filling in the registration card, we realised Ed had forgotten our case! No clothes, make up, brush, toothbrush or anything! It wasn't great but we managed to get a toothbrush from the hotel but with everything else missing, I wasn't a pretty sight in the morning! Here was just a little instagram of my croissant in the morning, and I liked the napkins!

Add me on instagram: @untilimdazzled  see you there =)

This is Jonny and Ed. They are like tweedledum and tweedledee when they are together. Bless 'em.

So then we came back on the Saturday, and I decided to get my hair cut! I haven't had it cut in over a year. The hairdresser was telling me off for the state of it after all the bleaching and dying, and it was in such bad condition he ran his hand through it and it all broke off! I had a good two inches off, which I think has helped the condition massively. So here are some proper pictures. I decided to have a more 'glam' blow dry, I quite like it all bouncy, but it takes ages to do so I doubt I can recreate it anytime soon. Hopefully I am still pulling the blue off without looking like a real weirdo! But it's my favourite colour so I love it really! 

So that is that I guess. Nothing else interesting. There is a video to put up on this blog, I've just got to piece it together, so check back soon!
