A Touch of Christmas

I love Christmas. A lot. Especially when it comes to painting my nails festive. I've been experimenting with so many different colours on my nails over the holiday season so far. I thought I'd share a very simple and classic look with you today. Red and gold, can't get more festive than that. I've used Essie Bordeaux on most of my nails, with Essie Good as Gold as the accent nail for a pop of shimmer. I love the way these two colours work together, and I am a big fan of a nice, deep red for any time of the year. Essie is easily one of my top favourites when it comes to nail polish brands! I find their colour range is so beautiful, and they generally last well on my nails without chipping. A little tip is to give your nails up to twelve hours to dry to avoid smudging from your pillow. I'll generally paint mine in the morning before 11am to ensure that they're fully dry by the time I go to bed. Happy Christmas everyone, may your nails be festive and beautiful! 

Lust Have It! | November Box

It's always my favourite time of the month when a pretty beauty box lands on my doorstep. I have to say that I was really impressed with Lust Have It this month because I literally squealed with excitement when I opened my box. I know that I'm going to get use out of everything in my box, and that makes me so happy (and doesn't happen often). 

Starting with the Essenzza Natural Japanese Silk Facial Treatment Masks in the citrus and pineapple enzymes scent. I have an obsessed with cloth face masks. I think they're brilliant. So when I saw that this box had not one, but two, of them, I was thrilled! I can't wait to use these over the holiday season. Next up is the Natralus Paw Paw Pure Gel. Now this may not seem all that exciting to you, but I'm eager to try it and see if it helps my legs when they get super sensitive (which happens a lot during the warmer months). There is also a teeny sample of the Aveda Color Conserve Daily Color Protect. As this is a small sample and I have a lot of hair, I'll probably only get one use out of it, but that's alright. I have bleached hair, not colour-treated hair, so I'm not sure how well it will work for me, but I'll give it a go! I was really excited to see the So Susan Water-based Pure Luminizer because I think it's the perfect thing this time of year. The festive season makes me want to wear shimmer everywhere, and this adds that perfect hint of sparkle to your makeup look, without being too over the top. Last, but certainly not least, is The Cosmetic Kitchen Pressed Mineral Blush in the shade Sherbert. I love a good blush, and this one is a pinky-peachy shade that is very wearable! Quality of it is really nice as well. These are definitely a brand to check out because it's certified vegan, certified cruelty free, GMO free, talc, bismuth and dimethicone free, plus they're 100% natural! 

So that concludes this months Lust Have It box, be sure to check out their website here if you're wanting to sign up - and you can use the code 'SAMINDIGO' for $5 off!
