Ciate Favourites - Spring Nail Inspiration

Before I bought my Ciate Christmas Advent Calendar last year, Ciate wasn't really a brand that was on my radar. I'd heard a few bloggers mention it here and there but I don't think it's been getting the attention it deserves. Now I've tried out twenty four of their products, I can happily pick out a few to make up the newest post of my seasonal 'nail inspiration' series. The quality of the Ciate polishes is incredible - a one or two coat job, fast drying time and minimal touch ups. What more do you need?

How to Fill a Stocking for a Beauty-Lover

After all the obsession about beauty advent calendars this year, I thought I'd write a quick post about filling a Christmas stocking for a friend, sister, daughter, girlfriend or simply anyone who's into beauty. The photos below are of the stocking I've made for my sister this year and I think that I've done rather well. Due to the size of the stocking, everything has to be a cute mini size and it's the perfect way to try new things without splurging on a Glossybox subscription.
