The Cardigan

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

If you have just come over from my most recent YouTube video, the links you want are below.

My Cardigan in CREAM

My Cardigan in GREY

My Cardigan in NAVY BLUE

The Ebay Shop of Cardigans Galore!

As some of you may have noticed, I have been sporting a rather fabulous chunky knit cardigan in my last few videos.

I have had video comments, tweets, emails and inbox messages asking where I bought it from (you guys have REALLY, REALLY hearted that cardi I tell you!) but I bought it in Orlando from a Ralph Lauren Outlet Store, which means it was a bit tricky for you all to get your hands on one.

It is currently my favourite wardrobe item and goes well with sooooo many things that I hunted high and low for one online for you. And I came up TRUMPS! Not only have I found my cardi in cream, but also the same cardi in grey and in navy blue. Not only that, they are stocked in an ebay shop (all links above), so there are a variety of sizes! Yaaaayyyy!

I know it's only a cardigan and only a link, but I feel like this has been a little victory for me in finding you all such gems!

Am I a total loser for being so excited?

Toodlepip!

Lou's Reviews :: OPI Rainbow Connection

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

It's chockablock with glitter, it goes on your nails, it's from OPI. I'm happy. Then end.

Haha, I jest, that's not the review over, but it may as well be because I'm in luurrvee with this sparkly little baby.

This is 'Rainbow Connection' by OPI from the Muppets Collection that is being bought out for Christmas.

As you can see with your own fair peepers, it is a glitter polish with various sized flecks of silver, gold, turquoise, red, green and purple. It retails for £10.50 and you can purchase it from the Lena White website.

I've been asked a few times where else you can buy OPI Polishes from for those of you who aren't internet shoppers. Quite a few beauty salons stock them, as well as Sally's, Liberty of London and John Lewis. However, for the full range, I really would shop online. I will just say that when I looked on the website, you couldn't buy 'Rainbow Connection' individually and it only came in a duo. Check back regularly because I think they might change this in the approach to the festive season.

What can I say about this polish that you can't see from the snazzy picture?

It took about 3 coats to achieve an opaque look. I say 'about' because I had to do a bit of dabbing-brush-in-sparsely-covered-areas painting. This leaves a rather lumpy chunky feel to your nail but as the actual liquid is clear, nobody will know and you'll have a full coverage of glitter- yippee.

If you liked Deborah Lippmann's 'Happy Birthday', then you'll like this. A lot.

If you hankered for OPI's sparkly Alice In Wonderland 'Mad as a Hatter' and missed out, then grab this now- I think it'll be another sought after one like that. (After writing this post, I started  thinking about yearning for 'Mad as a Hatter' and so have found it HERE  on ebay- I do heart that place so).

I think it will look smashing over black or navy varnishes.

It was a nightmare to remove. But, like childbirth, it was oh so worth it. Usually I would think £10.50 is a little steep for a nail product, but this is special.

Does 'Rainbow Connection' float your boat?

Toodlepip!

PS- Did I just compare this nail varnish to the birth of my Daughter?!? It must be the fumes! :)

Cruelty Free Cosmetics GIVEAWAY

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

A little while ago I was contacted by a lovely lady from Cruelty Free Cosmetics who very kindly offered to send me some goodies to give away to the super Sprinklerinos of Sprinkle of Glitter. I was planning on doing a 4,000 Follower Giveaway, but you crazy kids keep pushing that 'Follow this Site' button and I missed the number. Somehow a 4,088 Follower Giveaway doesn't have the same ring to it!

So, I kept it simple (can anyone else not say 'simple' without thinking of the compare the meerkat noise? I can't) and it is spiffing none the less.

As the name of the brand suggests, all products are 100% cruelty free and also vegan. They are free of parabens, preservatives and other harmful cosmetics, perfect for the uber conscious beauty addict. Natallia (the lady I have been speaking to) describes them as, "Safe for the Compassionate Heart".

I've been sent three beautiful colours for you to fall in love with- yours are in the seeled containers, I popped mine in the photo so you can see which colours you'd win- cos I loves ya!

The pigments are soft, bendable and perfect for the Autumnal season. I absolutely love the goldy pumpkinny shade, it makes green and blue eyes look exceptionally vibrant.

If you have a 'compassionate heart' and are interested in winning these gorgeous eyeshadow pigments, here's how you can be involved:

1. Follow my new Chatterview Blog (CLICK ME YOU CHEEKY CLICKY THING)

2. Comment telling me what your 'go to' eyeshadow colour is.

Simples! (there's that meerkat image again).

If you would like an extra entry, tweet tweet this little bit of fun and let me know in the comments so I can be sure to include everything properly.

I shall announce a winner in one week, Tuesday 8th November.

Happy Entering!

Toodlepip!
