my 50p and £25 bargain LOL! Plus a festive NOTD

So i'll start with the £25 bargain save the cheapy for last LOL this is my AVIATOR JACKET! I will be honest I didn't really like the trend. I saw one in New Look in the sale for £20 and just didn't like it then saw the Primark version and actually thought it looked pretty good, I tried it on and boy did it keep me warm and knowing how cold the UK is thought I would buy it, im normally girlie and pretty and felt this was a fashionable 'edge' to add to my wardrobe! I also have some biker-y style boots to wear with it but haven't taken pics yet they have buckles and a chain detail around, Ash doesn't like the look but ykno thats men for you never understand fashion, if it was upto men we would be wearing bikinis as outerwear 24-7 haha.

Next up my 50p bargain it is also from Primark (no I do not live in Primark contrary to popular belief :-p) It is a face and body 'BLOOMINOUS' Illuminator in the shade 'Gold' they also had it in shade 'Bronze' which I should have picked up for bloody 50p but my brain failed me!

I lurrrveeeeeeeeeeee the packagaing, Primark has quite alot of beauty buys now this originally retailed at £3 I think thats the average price range for most of the products my towns store doesn't have the best selection but how pretty is it! Very funky and retro, It has a twist up bottom that distributed the illuminator like this:

It is quite nice but abit glittery so I would use it very sparingly on my cheekbones, I will mostly probably use it on my shoulders and chest and maybe my legs when I wear my party dresses this xmas season!

You can't see it too well blended in so I squared it off just in case it's my blackberry camera as I wasn't at home to use my other, for 50p I am chuffed with it! I would actually have bought it for £3 to be honest. My hand is still shimmering in the light now and it's been over 5 hours since I did this little swatch so ladies run down to your local primarks!

Lastly my festive inspired NOTD (nails of the day), to be honest it's abit of a cheat as I have done a NOTD with this polish before its the China Glaze - Avalance http://vikki-gabrielleworld.blogspot.com/2010/11/nails-of-day-notd-china-glaze-avalanche.html   but to make it more festive I added a glitter topcoat you can get these in alot of ranges I have a none branded random one and a 17 by Boots one, it works quite well as Avalanche is a metallic gun metal silver colour so with the silver glitter topcoat looks really really dazzling! For Saturday night partying I love it even if it is abit OTT for the day time!

It hasn't picked up just how dazzling it looks but in the light WOWZA!!


Anyway happy tuesday everyone!
