Happy Halloween y’all 😀

Anyone else pretty much oblivious to how the heck that came around so fast? To think it’s November tomorrow (almost) makes me want to crawl under the bed for fear of waking up to shop shelves filled with Frozen paraphernalia whilst blasting out cheesy 80’s festive tunes *arrrgh* HOWEVER, without dwelling too much on future events lets focus on today shall we 😉 Which brings me to my next point chums… it’s the LAST chance to enter my Kat Von D  INTERNATIONAL giveaway, where one lucky entrant will win themselves a gorgeous eye shadow palette of their choice. Sounds nifty, huh? Then if you haven’t done so already be sure to get your name down – if you’re not in you can’t win! Competition closes midnight tonight GMT.

Sitting comfy? Then feast your eyes on what you could win and how to enter! Goodluck…

Shade & Light Eye Contour Palette

“This eyeshadow palette is something special, y’all! Arranged with the perfect blend of neutral, warm and cool tones, it contains base, contour, highlight and define shades…just one look and you know this sh*t is insane!

Interstellar Eyeshadow Palette

“Seize the night with Innerstellar’s twelve starry-eyed shades. Our signature color quad configuration gives you larger-sized base shades (so you don’t hit pan on the ones you use the most), plus a dazzling constellation of pop colors in shimmer and matte finishes! Each base shade is arranged above three accent shades, creating three color quads in this one palette!“

*Excerpt from KVD website*

.

Chrysalis Eyeshadow Palette

GIVEAWAY: Help Me Name My Nail Business…

 HELP…

 As some of you lovely folk already know I’m in the exciting (if not slightly daunting) process of becoming my own boss (again) as I prepare to go self-employed and utilise my skills as nail technician. Having dusted off my training certificates from over a decade ago, indulged in quite a bit of training & am currently waiting on the post man bestowing me with the last of my essential nail goodies for my clients to coo over – all that’s left to do is come up with a catchy, cute, classy or quirky name for my business.

Naturally, being the social media butterfly that I try so hard to be *sigh* I thought it would be a fabulously fun idea to involve you lovely lot being the ever supportive readers of Confetti & Curves into helping to choose a new name for my new nail room. Of course as a token of appreciation for bestowing me with your creativity, what could be better than a mini international giveaway for whomever comes up with the name I fall head over heels in love with. Fancy yourself up for to the challenge? Then here’s all you need to do…

 Think of cute, sassy or just plain simple business name suggestions for a nail technician working from a nail room at home & enter your suggestion(s) in the comments below… it’s literally that simple! The person with my favourite name choice will win a gorgeous set of luxury nail polishes from Champneys delivered right to their door! 

Giveaway T&C’s:

The more names you come up with the greater your chance is of winning so get those names listed *yaaahoo*

I’m open to quirky, classy, cute & simple suggestions – every idea is welcome!

Giveaway is open internationally & closes midnight Sunday 26th June 2016 so you’ve 3 full days to get thinking 😉

In the event of a tie break (where more than one person suggests the winning business name) those entrants details will be placed into a hat and a name picked at random.

Competition will be promoted on social media and is to include Twitter, Facebook & Instagram entries.

Entrants must be 16 or over

Winner will be announced on Friday 1st July (my birthday!!!)

How fabulous are these polishes?! I adore the Champneys range & I’m pretty sure you will too! What digits could resist a luxury spa inspired manicure using this lovely lot. Colours included are Nude, Pink, Wisteria, Plum, Mulberry & Clear.

Remember if you’re not in you can’t win 😀 all suggestions welcome!

Cheerio chums…

Keeping Up With Karen…

Gooood Morning My little Lucky Charms…

And that is INDEED what I’m tucking into this very minute! Do any of you remember the little cereal treat? For me it was almost a dietary staple of growing up in the 90’s. Cereal was never really my thing, however once I had a bowl of these tasty little treasures I was well & truly hooked. Of course I’m 33 now & there’s very little excuse for my eagerness to consume a bowl (or two) yet I still manage to enjoy it… Sunday morning, cartoons, bowl of Lucky Charms. What a way to start the day 😉

However I’m sure you’re not here to read me waffling on about nostalgic brekkie cereal, right? Didn’t think so *rolls eyes* So for those of you who fancy something a little more interesting to mull over whilst sipping on your Sunday morning brew, here’s a quick recap of what’s been happening on Confetti & Curves this week…

Ps: A maaahoosive hello & warm welcome to all the lovely new Blog followers & YouTube subs this week, thanks so much for stopping by ❤

A Box Full Of Beauty Goodies…

Hey Beauty Buddies…

It’s Frrrriiiiiiday *dramatic air punch* Yes, the weekend is upon us & the sun is shining – what more could we ask for?! Okay maybe a glass or two of something strong and fizzy but that’ll come later in the evening 😉  I’m in such a cheery mood as not only is it two whole glorious days of no alarm clock bleating in my ear at an ungodly hour of the morning, but I can finally muster up a bit of free time to sample some gorgeous goodies that arrived on my doorstep a few days ago. My poor neighbours must be well accustomed to my regular screeches of excitement as I recently won an amazing giveaway from the lovely Anne over at Doves & Roses, however on Wednesday afternoon yet another burst of squeals ricocheted off the walls as my giveaway package arrived a little earlier than anticipated.

So wanna know what the postman brought? Here goes…

.

Chanel lipstick

 

After excitedly tearing through the neatly wrapped individual little parcels, the first thing I clasped my mitts on was a delectable Chanel Ultra Hydrating Lip Colour in shade 444 Gabrielle. This rich ruby red is going to be the perfect companion for nights out or by simply just livening up a muted makeup menu by adding a touch of royal red. Isn’t it beeeeeeautiful?

.

Mini Chanel Makeup Purse

This darling little mesh bag is perfect for discretely carrying my essential makeup must-haves on a daily basis. It’s the ideal size to pop into any purse.

.

Bourjois Cream Blush

Cream blushes are something I consistently adore wearing. For my pale and (almost) translucent skin tone they work a treat by adding a dewy healthy glow without looking harsh or unnatural. Considering I’m a huge fan of Bourjois I was literally hugging this teeny little compact that comes with its very own miniature mirror.

.

Catrice Eyeshadow Palette

Possibly one of the nicest range of blush toned shadows I’ve seen. This Absolute Rose Eyeshadow palette by Catrice Cosmetics in ‘010 Frankie Rose To Hollywood’ is the perfect bend of soft shimmering pink tones. Considering these are the colours I regularly magnetise too (hence my undying love for the Naked 3 palette) I cannot WAIT to treat my eyes to a skimming of these sweet shades.

.

The Body Shop Lipgloss

If you haven’t tasted this flavour already then by George you’re missing out. This has got to be one of the most taste bud tingling, sassily scented glosses I’ve ever tried. Considering I’ve always been a HUGE fan of the body shop I’m surprised I haven’t indulged in this flavour sooner, but wow oh wow am I glad I’m the proud owner…  it. is. aaaahmazing.

…

So there we have it guys, my fun box of giveaway goodies. A huge thank you to the lovely Anne for hosting such a super-duper giveaway, I really am chuffed to bits… not to mention a little woozy at the excitement of taking ownership of such a gorgeous array of products.

.

If you haven’t already checked out Doves & Roses yet then I suggest you take a virtual hike over asap. Anne’s blog is crammed full of product reviews and goodies to make even the most sophisticated of cosmetic consumer swoon!

Wishing y’all a fun filled weekend chums…

 

Look What The Postman Brought…

It’s… FRIDAYYYY!!

I must admit this week has been a toughy so to say I’m glad to see the weekend is a slight understatement. However, yesterday I arrived home a very happy gal indeed as news broke that the postman had delivered a special little pressie just for me *cue mass hysteria*

For those of you who missed my wailing and flailing last Friday night… I won my 1st EVER give-away!! Now if any of you are as unlucky as I am when it comes to raffles, give-aways, scratch cards and anything that requires a smile from Lady Luck you’ll understand my bellows of joy as I discovered ‘little ole me’ was announced the winner of a beautiful Benefit give-away competition from the lovely Melissa of Melissa Claire Leslie.

Melissa is a qualified graphic designer who shares a passion for blogging, so if travel, fashion, photography & beauty sounds your thing then do pop over, say hello and hit that ‘follow’ button to keep up with her fab features.

“Okay, what about the goodies?” I hear you hark!!

Settle back and I’ll give you a guided tour of what I received…

1) First thing my eyes locked upon was this gorgeous little presentation box… it also has a magnetic closure which makes it perfect for storing some little beauty trinkets & accessories in. A girl can never have too many pretty boxes, right?!

2) Inside the pretty little box I discovered this gorgeous mini cosmetic bag. We’re planning a few little mini-breaks this year so this will be the perfect travel solution for storing my ‘jolly hol’ make-up essentials. Could it BE any cuter?! *swoon*

3) Hidden inside my new mini Benefit bag (it’s like pass the parcel now!!) I spotted these yummy treats perched on top of a very cutely wrapped tissue package… who doesn’t love lolly pops & love hearts? * cue happy dance*

 4) My tissue package contained a few exceptionally exciting samples my skin has been itching to try. Two of the samples are from the SO RADIANT range:

Instant Comeback Facial Serum: An instant boost for youthful skin (just what I need right now!) which claims to make tired looking skin plumped, hydrated and feeling firmer.

It’s Potent Eye Cream: Fades dark circles & helps smooth fine lines for brighter younger looking eyes… I have a feeling I’ll wake up looking a decade younger tomorrow morning!

 

5) My final sample is a trial of the infamous POREFESSIONAL: A silky, oil free PRO balm that quickly helps minimise the appearance of pores & fine lines for smoother-than-smooth skin.

…

So there you have it, a guided tour of my give-away goodies. How lucky am I? I’m chomping at the bit to try each and every one of them. I’ll be sure to keep you all updated with how I get on in a few future review posts!

 *Apologies if the images are a tad blurry, I didn’t have time to whip out my hubby’s DSLR *Oo-err missus* So I had to settle for a few iPhone snaps instead.

Thanks again to the lovely Melissa who’s had me grinning like a Cheshire cat all week. My prize is every bit as beautiful as I imagined & I can’t wait to get trying my exciting new samples! How did you know I love blackcurrant lolly pops & Love Hearts so much?! Friday night treats = sorted 😉 hehe

Even Gomez was purring with excitement at the parcel revealing shenanigans…

 …

Wishing you all a super weekend Beauty Buddies,
