So as I beauty blogger, I have a press of empty boxes. These empties, might make their way to the bin or on the World Wide Web, depending on how I feel about the product.

This is what we do, along with the… couldn’t possibly use that before I take photos (unless it’s Charlotte Tilbury, I have been known to open her stuff in the car park after buying it). Can you imagine my disgust at myself when I went to find the box to the Code Mascara and couldn’t find it. I mean Keith knows never to put empty boxes…i.e. rubbish in the bin.  This horrific photo will have to suffice. But I couldn’t not write about this stuff. So on the left you have The CODE FFL* plumper, the FFL stands for ‘Forget Fake Lashes’it’s so good. It’s plumps out the lashes and adds great length. I then follow up with the CODE VLM, or Volumising Lenghtening Mascara! This is so black. The two together give me a really open eye look! (Are you ready for the horrific close up…) I have simply used the plumper and one coat of the CODE Volumising Lengthening Mascara, I love the effects and definitely have it on the re-purchase list. Have you tried Code Mascara, if so tell me in the comments what you think?

So if I don’t get my act together this post will be Favourites on Sunday and well that just doesn’t have the same ring to me! In fairness I crawled to the weekend. This “virus” that’s going about is a nasty beast! It almost feels flu like in the limbs. On top of that I’ve put up two Christmas trees and welcomed December, like a ten year welcomes an aged aunt who slips them a twenty when she leaves! Is there anything better than December? I don’t think so!  I’m loving my tree this year! It’s my favourite festive symbol!  This cupcake was so pretty I had to photograph it! I didn’t eat it, treats are now out until Christmas!  If you’re following me on Instagram (you should!) I am back posting silly photos (my favourite kind) like this every morning.  I think every Irish person packs their decorations away in, like, biscuit and sweet tins! I love these Starbucks mugs. I collect the Starbucks Christmas mug every year. This one is special.  I know, another photo of the nano (*snore) but I love this bag so so much! Have a great week, it’s set to be another busy one! #21sleeps

So I’d love to tell you that my post is late because I’d been living it up, but in reality  I’ve spent the entire weekend being a domestic goddess… read here… I spent the weekend ironing and in a pair of marigolds. I mean the glamour! But we are now ready to put our Christmas tree up tomorrow night. Expect a flood of photos on my Instagram in the coming week. Seriously though… about fifteen hours of ironing and I now know I’m turning into my mother, because I couldn’t stop until it was finished.  This scarf is from My Shining Armour, it’s now one of favourites. The little stars are pretty and delicate and although they’re rose gold, it’s very day appropriate. I thought this leave was so pretty and it was sitting right by itself when I got out of the car. Ah Starbucks, are definitely winning the best Christmas cup award!  Hello red nail season! It’s unlikely I’ll wear any other shade until next year!   Crazy traffic in the morning means I’m back to photographing my armcandy!   Ah I’m dizzy thinking that this week is December, I haven’t started my Christmas shopping yet, but I never have a problem thinking of presents and I enjoy shopping. There are some big birthdays in my family next week, kicking  off with my Brother’s fortieth! Have a lovely week!
