Personalised Photo Canvas

Bags Of Love are a personalised photo gifts manufacturer. They offer many gift ideas , from post cards to canvases, to duvet covers and bean bags.

Here is my own 12" by 16" personalised photo canvas:

(Not yet hung up!)

I chose a gerbera daisy because it's my favourite flower. I love the colour orange and it contrasts well against my main turquoise wall.

The bits and bobs to hang it up.

The 12" by 16" canvas starts from £39. I don't know much about the prices of canvases so I'm not sure if this is expensive or not.

Overall, I am happy with my canvas and I think the website is great for personalised gifts.

Outfit Of The Day

I don't like doing Face Of The Day's because I hate the way I look and I don't like doing Outfit Of The Days because my clothes are boring. However, it has been requested a number of times if I could do more of these types of posts, so here you go:

Told you my clothes are boring!

White T-shirt: H&M

Blue shirt: Primark

Dark blue skinny jeans: Newlook

Grey pumps: Primark

Owl necklace: eBay

I'll try and get a Face Of The Day done soon but I'm telling you now, it will take a lot of photos to find one I'm happy with!

Have a good weekend :) x

Sigma Hollywood Glamour Flat Top Retractable Kabuki

Price: $25 (Around £15)

Pros:

• The packaging is really pretty.
• The cover and lid keep the brush protected so you can pop it in your bag.
• The brush is super soft.
• It washes well.

Cons:

• When I first used this brush, it shed a couple hairs. However, no hairs shed when I washed it.
• This is just me being picky but the finishing powder I use is white and because the tips of the brush are white, I cannot see how much product I am using. However, other products such as blush and bronzer can be seen clearly.
• It is fairly expensive.

Nails Of The Week + Models Own Nail Polishes

I say 'Of the week', I mean I've painted them this weekend to wear throughout next week.

This is Models Own Beth's Blue; a pastel blue with a hint of lilac. This is opaque in one coat but I added a second out of habit. Pastel polishes can look a little tip-exy but having pale skin, I think I can get away with it.

These are the Models Own polishes I own so far:

Nude Beige (Click here to see swatch), Pastel Pink, Beth's Blue, Mystic Mauve, Champagne.

I'm very late on the Models Own bandwagon!

I really like these polishes; simple packaging, great formula and a wide variety of colours available.

Someday Summary - Wednesday

I really like writing these, they're like my diary :)

• I was told earlier in the week by my teacher that it is unlikely I will get a B in English. I was so upset. I only chose 4 University options, so I had one more. My friend told me that Marjons (Another University in my city) do English courses. I checked it out and found that there are still places available for my chosen course and I only need three C's. I applied and am now waiting for a response. Hopefully they'll accept me!

• I don't know whether to go to my May Ball. The positive point for going is that everyone in my year is going and I don't want to miss out. However, I'm going to struggle to find money to buy a dress. On top of this, I have to find money for birthday presents and rent. Also, I hate photos of myself and I will hate seeing them plastered over Facebook.

• My last post showed my ASOS/Models Own order. I found out that the Models Own nail art pen brush was bent and un-usable. I didn't really mind because I will mainly use the 'nib' to create dots and fine details, however, I still contacted ASOS about the product being faulty. They replied saying that I don't have to return the item and they will send me a replacement, which should arrive tomorrow. I am very impressed with the customer service I received.

• I had my hair cut today. Nothing too drastic, just a trim and some more layers put in. Layers make my hair more 'flicky' and harder to plait but they give it great shape and volume. My hairdresser cut a few layers bluntly so I finished cutting my hair myself when I got home. I also finished off my sister's hair as she wanted her fringe shorter. I would cut it myself most of the time but I cannot reach the back!

ASOS/Models Own Shop and Prizes

Models Own nail polishes in Champagne, Mystic Mauve and Beth's Blue, nail art pen in Black.

These are what I recently purchased from ASOS with my Groupon voucher. I paid £10 for all of these because of the voucher; individually the nail polishes are £5 each and the nail art pen is £6.

I would also like to thank Karen from lovelygirliebits for these goodies. I was the second winner in her giveaway and had no idea what she was going to send me. I've been wanting to try the Lush Candy Cane for a while; it smells divine! and yes, that is GOSH Rainbow nail polish! I have Nubar 2010 but wanted Rainbow, which is unfortunately discontinued. I am so happy I finally have it! Thank you Karen :)
