Hannah's Gorgeous Gift

Aloha Bloggerinos,

Do you remember I told you it was my birthday a couple of weeks ago? Well, one super nice YouTuberino/Bloggerino actually sent me really nice birthday present!!

Hannah ordered me these GORGEOUS earrings from a handmade online boutique called The Parlor. She told me the products were made by her sister's friend who lives in Manchester and when I had a look on the website I was giddy with glee at all the lovely things!


I was really thrilled with these earrings because they are so 'me'. I absolutely adore bird accessories and think the brass and the emerald compliment one and other perfectly.

THANK YOU HANNAH, YOU ARE TOO KIND!

I like to wear these with this necklace my sister Tiyana bought me from Accessorize. Told you I like birds!



If you'd like to have a look at The Parlor, click HERE.

I think luurrrvvee the Peppermint Tea Charm Bracelet, the black Elegant Earrings and the Galaxy Earrings.

Have you ever had a reeeaallly cool unexpected present? Tell me!

Toodlepip!

Sigma Brush Kit WINNER

Aloha Bloggerinos,

The time has come to announce the winner of my Sigma Syntheric Brush Kit competition. Wahhoooo!

To enter, I asked Bloggerinos to tell me what they would buy from Sigma if money were no object and to also send me a 'look' with the inspiration being a Sprinkle of Glitter.

I was really amazed at how many of you entered and really enjoyed seeing all your looks and hearing about how you achieved them. It was really, super, tres tres difficult to decide on one winner because I could see that you all put such effort into them and had gone to town on various glitter effects.

So in the end, after MUCH deliberation, I have chosen STEFI as the winner! CONGRATULATIONS!



The reason this look won is because I really felt that Stefi thought outside glittery box and she has really had fun with shimmer, sparkles and gems!

Here are the products Stefi used to create her winning look:

To all of you that entered- THANK YOU! I didn't see a single look that I thought "pah, that's rubbish!", they were all brilliant and super glitzy! One Bloggerino even did some panel detailing which I thought was really clever!

I'll hopefully be having another Sigma Giveaway if and when I hit 2000 followers, so keep your eyes peeled!

Toodlepip!

Gems

Aloha Bloggerinos,

Whilst mooching about on weheartit.com (I bloomin' well love that site), I played my favourite game, which is to just type a word into the search box and see what comes up. Usually I type things like "glitter", "sparkle" or "sequins", but today I tried "gem" and here are my top picks.

Oh my oh my! I tell you what, next time I go to a fancy dress party (and now I really hope I'm invited to one soon), I'm going to do this look on my face. I wish this were acceptable day wear because I luurvve it.

I love the colours mint and mauve so this picture made the cut.

It's pink, it's gaudy, it glitters, it had to be on here.

Once I've lost my baby weight (and let's face it, the excess lardybum I was carrying around before pregnancy anyway), and I become of super model stature, I'm going to stick gems to my thighs. Even if I'm wearing jeans.

Not much of a beauty or life post, but definately a sparkly gems one ;)

Toodlepip!
