Haul: Post-Xmas Sales Madness

• Filed under Uncategorized and tagged , , , , , , |

With today being Christmas Eve, many retailers have launched their post-Xmas sales with up to 90% off!

I’ve been trolling the online retailers this morning (ooohhh I’m not gonna face the shops at this time of the season – I don’t want to end up stabbing people in panic attacks losing it and going out of my mind what with those crowds LOL!)…

So far, I’ve ordered these items…

from Dorothy Perkins for £50 including p&p

from New Look for £38 including p&p

What did you buy in the post-Xmas sales?

Much love,

NOTD: Orly Ingenue

Orly Nail Polish in Ingenue

Orly released their Soiree Holidays 2011 Collection recently and I was lucky to get hold of the Ingenue, which is one of the most beautiful nail polishes I’ve ever seen. It’s a pink gel-type nail polish with tons of gold and pink glitter particles in it. Soooo freaking perfect for this holiday season (or any other festive occasion actually!) I’ll be wearing this for this year’s Christmas days! Probably even for NYE! And any other day that I need some cheering up ;-)

Since the picture above doesn’t do the colour justice (thanks to the UK weather and it’s crappy lighting conditions!), I thought I include a picture that really shows how beautiful this nail polish really is! It’s just a dream!!

What do you think of Orly’s Ingenue? Isn’t it perfect? 
What’s your holidays 2011 nail polish of choice?
