Archives For November 30, 1999

We hope you all had a very Happy Christmas with your loved ones, and Santa bought you all you wished for! Now that it’s over for another year, we thought we’d share some photos from our day – we don’t know about you, but we love having a little nose into other peoples photo albums! 

We also want to take this opportunity to thank all of our readers for sticking with us since we launched on 3rd November this year. It’s been a manic few months, but everyone has been so lovely, we’ve already met so many wonderful people and found so many new, exciting brands that we can’t wait to share. 

Thank you again, here’s to a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2013 for everyone!

Christmas started off with a good night out with the girls.

Wearing a slick of black liquid liner and bright red lips with our Velvetine from Lime Crime!

What do you think?

 

 

 

 

It wouldn’t be Christmas without a few of the traditional decorations that have been around for years! 

 

 

 

  We know it’s a tad Circa 1970,

but we love Snowballs!

It doesn’t feel like Christmas

until we’ve had the first one of the year!

 

 

 

Of course Christmas is all about spending quality time with loved ones, and this year we felt that more than ever, but we were lucky enough to get a few lovely gifts too! Here are some of our favourites:

Love these shoe & handbag chocs, very us! The Toasted Marshmallow scented candle from Jelly Bean smells delicious…

 

 

 

We’re starting to get the feeling that we pong a bit,

as these were just one set of smellies

that we got this year! 

 

 

You can’t go wrong with a bit of colour,

and we love all of these W7 nail polishes!

Has anyone used W7 before?

What did you think? 

 

 

 

This Rose and Silver bracelet is one of our favourites, we love anything sparkly and the rose gold complements our Marc Jacobs watch!

This Logik Ultra Thin Keyboard Case for the iPad is actually a godsend! It will make writing pieces for thebeautyobsession so much easier without having to boot up the laptop! 

 

 

We got a few Nip & Fab goodies,

these lip balms smell lovely.

 Has anyone tried them before?

 

 

 

 

We’ve been after a glass nail file for ages,

so Santa came up trumps with this crystal

one from Leighton Denny!

The present that made us cry award goes to this Sister picture frame, with photos from childhood to the present day! Really love this one!

 

 

 

There was lots and lots of food!

In fact how much cheese do four people need?

Well, this much it appears! 

 

 

 

 

If anyone else loves Marmite,

you’ll appreciate this gift.

If you hate it, you won’t!

 

 

 

 

 

We ended Christmas day at about 1.30am in the garden looking at a spectacular Lunar Halo. Did anyone else see it? Apparently they’re more common that you’d think, but we thought it was amazing and as it’s the first time we’ve ever seen one, we’re taking it as a good omen for things to come!
