It’s been a year since I started blogging and whilst being swamped with university work, it took me three days to realise! How ashamed am I – I can’t even begin to explain! However in order to mark the anniversary properly I will have a birthday properly, cake and all – just as soon as I have my university work out the way. Also, today I am announcing my little giveaway winner, I picked the winner the traditional way by picking a number out of a hat however that wastes a lot of time, effort and paper so next time I will just have to use number generators. Without any further ado the winner is ..

No.6 Zarina!

I will attempt to Facebook message you but can you please try to email me on makeupatoz@hotmail.co.uk so I can have the goodies sent out to you.

I have another giveaway coming up for you guys, I think I will publish it when I do my ‘official’ birthday post with cake and all. So make sure you keep an eye out for that! Hope you all have a lovely day, Tanzina! x

After a few requests, I have decided to keep this open until the 1st of December and then will have another giveaway to mark my one year blog anniversary! You have until midnight 30th November to enter! Good Luck x

Hi Lovelies, today I decided it is time for me to do a little give away just to say thank you for reading my blog! There is no specific reason for this give away.. my one year blog anniversary is coming up however this isn’t the giveaway for it yet. This is just a ‘I am so happy you read me’ kind of giveaway.

What I’d love to give to you guys is a blush palette, you can pick this up from companies such as Coastal Scents and BH Cosmetics. I was ordering a few for friends who I know secretly lust after my palette and as their birthday’s are coming up it made sense to grab some. I had to get one for you all too! I also have a Colour Unlimited eyeshadow palette, an Inika Lip Whip in Peach and a bright blue Filthy Gorgeous nail polish. It is a small giveaway but don’t worry I have a bigger one coming up for soon in time for my blog birthday!

Today’s post is a super quick Nail of the Day post. It actually features a colour I almost have always avoided when it comes to nail colours, and that is pale pink. I’m not sure why but I have always felt that pale pink does not suit my skin tone and makes my hands look rather horrid. However since it’s been years since I last attempted pale pink nails, I thought it was about time to bite the bullet and just go for it.

The pale pink I went for is called OPI Suzi & the Lifeguard from the OPI Teeny Bikinis collection. It’s the only baby pink I have in my collection, and I only have it because it was a part of a lovely little collection. I would have never picked up otherwise, like I said pale pinks just naturally were nail colours I always gravitated away from. See that little heart on my accent fingers? Yup, I drew them on.. I happen to have a knack for drawing perfect heart shapes. You’ve probably realised I am lying, I actually used Nail Tattoos from the brand Nail Art. I was testing the tattoos out and I have to admit I am really impressed, I will be doing a full review on the tattoos sometime soon.

I think I’ve broken my rule of no pale pinks allowed, and I look forward to trying lots more shades of baby pinks. It doesn’t look as bad as I thought it would. I really do need to get more into nail care however, I am absolutely rubbish at taking care of my nails! I love the nail art, the nail tattoos are definitely something that deserve a whole post dedicated to themselves. How about you, do you have a colour that you avoid? Until next time lovelies, have a great day x
