Primark: The Christmas jumpers have landed...

I won't mess round and get right to the point; Primark clothing stores have stated to sell a variety of Christmas jumpers and sweaters for both men and women.

The design above is a sweatshirt material, and cost just £8. There were also around half a dozen different styles in wool jumpers, which came in at £10.


Yes; Christmas jumpers are cheesy, but they are also cheerful and fun. And at such low prices, why not get at least one?

NOTD: Bat My Eyes by China Glaze...

Bat My Eyes is one of the five new shades for the Halloween 2013 [Monsters Ball] range, and is the shade that I think has the most glitter packed in.

The shade is a black jelly, that is crammed full of gold hex glitters and some gold bar glitter. In some lighting the gold has a greenish cast to it, due to the black base. There is so much glitter here that two coats will give you a solid look.

 

 

Despite the heavy amounts of glitter this polish is easy to apply, leaving no bubbles or streaks and I was impressed with the drying time. Being a glitter bomb it does take a little bit more effort to remove, but it seems easier then my other glitter-heavy polishes.

NOTD: Howl You Doin' by China Glaze...

 

Howl You Doin' is one of the five new shades for the Halloween 2013 [Monsters Ball] range, and is one of the four glitter shades. The shade has a dark purple jelly base, and is crammed full of blurple and fuchsia micro-glitter, and some scattered orange glitter is in the mix too.

The glitter shreds don't photograph well, but the jelly base is so packed with them that two coats of polish will give you a solid look. The orange glitter makes this fit in with the Halloween theme, but the combination of blurple and pink means that you can wear this shade the whole year round too.

A coffee break with Yankee: Vanilla Chai candles...

As you can see, the fragrance of the new for autumn 2013 Vanilla Chai candle is described as "the perfect accompaniment to "me" time - a supremely satisfyingly rich and spicy recipe of ginger, cinnamon and vanilla." There's nothing that I can add to that - thee fragrance fits the description exactly.
