New Look Christmas Party Competition

Here is my entry for the New Look Christmas Party Competition! I would say I have a slim hourglass body shape, and because of this, I feel like most dress styles suit me. I could have chosen an in-your-face dazzling dress, but I wanted to choose something that I would buy and wear myself, and feel comfortable in. I think this dress (which you can buy here) suits my style the best. The colour is festive and would contrast against my auburn hair well. The belt would also emphasis my waist, showing off the curves I have. I then chose these shoes to dress the outfit up. They're sparkly and black, so can be worn with anything! I chose the bag because the studs contrast against the feminine lace on the dress. Also, because it's black, like the belt and shoes, it ties the whole outfit together. I then thought the pearl stacked gold cuff was pretty and would go well with the other snippets of gold in the outfit.

I don't know what to call this post...

Catchy title I know!

So, for days and days, I get no post.. well except from a Jack Daniels letter with a leather card holder haha BUT today I received two parcels and three letters! My parents received nothing haha.

The letters were: an invitation to a friends 18th, a ring sizer and a letter from a creative artsy University because they have seen from UCAS that I'm interested in creative subjects. Yeah I am, but I don't want to do a whole degree on it! Nice thought anyway Bangor University :)

Ok so a few posts ago I told you guys I won an Accessorize competition. Here is the prize!

(Yes that is a rolled up sock to your right) It's very pretty. It's a little different to what I'd normally wear because I wear short dresses.. doesn't that make me sound classy? haha

Next up is the Sleek competition prize:

Ta daaaaa! So far the brushes are very soft and dense. I will use them for a week, wash them and then use them for a week again before I review them for you guys. Sleek will be announcing soon how much it will cost. I have no idea because when you think that ELF sell 11 brushes for £38.50 and this set contains 21 brushes.. but I don't think it'll be that expensive and it'll probably work out cheaper than buying the brushes from ELF.

Thank you for reading! :)

I got lucky, twice! + 5 newbies in my nail polish collection.

So in the space of three days, I've won two competitions! With great prizes may I add.

So Wednesday, Sleek held a 'Get It First' competition on Facebook. You had to answer a few questions and the first 20 won something. I came second and won a 21 piece brush set and roll. This will be out in September to buy and Sleek will be announcing how much it will cost in a few weeks. Up until this year, I never used make up brushes. & now I only use a powder brush and blush brush (From ELF) so I'm excited to use these!

(The word tools is not on the roll)

The second competition I won was today. Accessorize held a RT competition on Twitter and 20 had the chance to win this:

A beautiful bandeau dress worth £30. I was one of the first to RT but I think the winners were selected randomly. 100+ people entered so I wasn't expecting to win. They announced the first 15.. nada, but my name was in the last 5!

And these are what arrived for me in the post today:

17 sent me some nail polishes. They said I could choose some colours I liked and I didn't want to be greedy so chose two: Firecracker and Sea Breeze. The light blue in the picture is the new Catwalk Couture instead of Sea Breeze. They are very similar in colour. They also sent me three more: True Blue, Ruby Dazzle and Royal Indigo. They're all gorgeous!

I gave half of my collection away the other week so was lacking an orange, navy, purple and red so I'm glad I received these colours.

As you can see, most competitions are easy to enter; you only need to click a button on Twitter! so it's definitely worth entering :)
