Kat must have been on Santa's "Good Girl" list

#Christmas
Well hello there my lovelies, I hope you have had a lovely break over the festive period.

I thought I would share my booty (no, not my ass! No one needs to see that) with you all, my Christmas booty.

Santa was very generous this year and I got a whole heap of goodies to play with;

Nail Frenzy;

For my birthday I was lucky enough to be given a 36w UV nail lamp, since then I have embarked on growing my gel nail polish collection and these babies are setting the bar...
Bluesky Gel Nail Polish - Shade; Decadence #80525
Bluesky Gel Nail Polish - Shade; Neon Coral #A074
Bluesky Gel Nail Polish - French Manicure Set 
Bluesky Gel Nail Polish - Shade; Pink Nude # ND08

No gel manicure is complete without these;

Gellux Prep & Wipe & Remover

Sometimes you just want a quick colour and this gorgeous gift has 10 nail polishes, 2 nail art pens (black & silver) & 2 bottles of colourful embellishments. It is set up like a calendar, so one for each month of 2015, but to be honest I wanted to get them all out and look at them closer so I ripped the packaging before I snapped a pic!

Enbracing the Curls;

I have always wanted to try out the +Moroccan Oil  brand having naturally curly hair. I have heard people rave about these products so when I opened these gifts I was so excited to give them a try. I am yet to try them out but I will do a full review when I do :)

Moroccan Oil Intense Hydrating Mask


Moroccan Oil Hydrating Mini Box


This next product was added to my Amazon Wish List after I saw +UglyFaceOfBeauty mention it in one of her videos. I opened this pot straight away and was greeted with the strong scent of coconut oil, it's quite overpowering but I'm sure it's going to be a new fave of mine.

To feed my Make up addiction;

I didn't own any +Sigma Beauty brushes before these landed on my lap. I have +MAC Cosmetics blending brushes and a few from +realtechniques, +The Body Shop UK & other sources, so I cannot wait to pit these babies up against my faves to see how they fair... I will let you know....


This +BourjoisFrance bronzer is my go-to product, my baby girl loves the gorgeous chocolate scent so she bought me another one, so I will never run out!


These are my first +NYX Cosmetics products. +MadeULook Twice's Lex used the eyeshadow base in a tutorial and ever since I have been wanting to try this product.




I love, love, LOVE a +MAC Cosmetics lipstick so these two shades are a welcome addition to my collection, both can be purchased online here;

MAC Lipstick - Shade; Peach Blossom

MAC Lipstick - Shade; Sweet & Sour




I have heard great things about +Coastal Scents palettes so when my bestie bought me this one, I was so excited to try it out. I have heard that it is a dupe for the +Urban Decay Cosmetics Naked Palette, but as I don't own it, I cannot comment.



Coastal Scents - Revealed Palette





 Odds & Sods;

Angel Birthstone; Opal (October) Necklace by Angelys - I have a fascination with Opal & Angels so my Mama picked well with this beautiful necklace.
 +Agent Provocateur  - Eau Emotionelle This is one of my favourite perfumes of all time. I had this on my wish list for ages and then recently I was scanning my list and noted that it was missing. So I re-added it assuming I hadn't added it previously. I didn't connect the dots and figure out that my bestie had bought it for me for Xmas!





I have the whole set of Andrew Barton's brushes and I swear by them - I would never let another brush loose on my locks. This brush completes my set...
Andrew Barton - Hair Angel Brush


Penguin Jumper from +Marisota This gorgeously fluffy jumper is now the closest thing I own to a Christmas Jumper. My Mama bought it from Marisota, in a size 22 and it fits perfectly. The penguin is just the cutest little thing!


I hope you love these products as much as I do - if you want a review on anything in particular before you rush out and purchase them please just let me know, but I'm sure they will feature in future posts :)

What did you guys get for Xmas??

Christmas Tree OCD

#Christmas
My Mum & Dad's tree is always an explosion of colour and mine in contrast is rather understated.

I suppose as a child I grew up with all the tinsel and rainbow colours and that's what has made me opt for a more subdued number as an adult! I'm sure you read my previous post which gave you a bit of an insight into just how bad my Christmas Tree OCD is...

But with all that aside, it doesn't feel like Christmas until we are all sat round the fire at my Mummy's house opening pressies :)






Merry Christmas Y'all xxx
