Forks and Brushes

Wish you all a very Happy Christmas!!!

Sorry for stopping at Blogmas Day 16 , work & life just got better of me that my Blogmas this year was a fail.  Anyway, it is Christmas Eve today so I want to show you what I got myself for Christmas! (Oh yes, I can find any excuse to treat myself! And it is Christmas!!)

As my 200th blog post, I am excited to share the Christmas My Little Box! My Little Box must have a team of stylish geniuses! They just out-do themselves at every box. High expectation on Christmas box and it is a stylish collaboration with Fleur de Force !

This weekend, I....

If you have read my " About me " page, you will know that I have a full time job, am working in a law firm in Ealing, West London. It is just an ordinary office job, never has anything interesting happened. However, as it is Blogmas, I thought I would document my route to work & the area. It would be interesting to look back in the future.

Did you take advantage of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales? I did! Debenham had 10% off on all beauty on Black Friday sale but then House of Fraser had 15% off on beauty on Cyber Monday! It was the best discount that I have come across (Bobbi Brown never have discounts), the perfect chance to get the two Bobbi Brown brushes that I have been eyeing up forever! They are the Full Coverage Face brush and the Sheer Powder brush . I am obsessed with powder brushes as powder is a step that I never missed in my routine. Full Coverage Face brush has a short handle which will have better control in application and is great for travelling. I am really excited to use them and I shall report back with a more detail review. Bobbi Brown Full Coverage Face Brush - House of Fraser - £30 Bobbi Brown Sheer Powder Brush - House of Fraser - £30

In the colder months, I do love to have a cup of tea in the evening. It makes me feel cozy and relaxing. Twinings latest winter flavours Salted Caramel Green Tea and Caramelised Apple Green Tea are my new favourites!

Due to the limited space, we are having a tiny Christmas tree this year. My sister ( @beautyorbread )  got it from Amazon, it is a 45cm tall tree. The assorted baubles & battery-operated star-shaped fairy lights were from Poundland. Poundland doesn't sound glamorous but I think the baubles and lights worked really well for our tiny tree. The wooden horses were from Tiger.

After I went to Tokotsu Ramen Bar in Selfridges ( post here ) to fulfil my ramen obsession ( another post here ), I was going to head to Duke Street Emporium for a coffee ( more post here ). Thank god I walked down the wrong street and found Smack Lobster Deli !

I am loving this combo! Barry M Aquarium Collection in no 7 Persian and Sally Hansen no 706 Glitter Bomb . 

I got this Origins Best of Both Worlds Gift Set back in Oct. The set includes: GinZing Energy Boosting Moisturiser 30ml  GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream  5ml  High Potency Night-A-Mins Mineral-Enriched Renewal Cream 50 ml (Full size)  Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask  50ml  A Lovely Makeup Bag

This year, I am obsessed with Primark's Christmas pyjama sets. Here are just the four that I bought recently, and I am definitely wanting more!!

Despite I have a whole drawer of foundations, these two are my absolute faves for this autumn and winter – Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place foundation and Benefit Big Easy BB Cream – One for work days and one for the weekends, they are seeing me through week after week recently.

Yes, I will be attempting Blogmas again this year! I will have a blog post up everyday in December until Christmas. Like last year, my blogmas won't be a Christmas only themed, instead it will be a diary style of posts of what I have been up to, the usual product reviews, foodie posts... etc. It will be a mixture of various things so I think it will be good fun. So.... Let's Blogmas begin!! Ho ho ho!!

A very merry Christmas from 5000 miles away!! I hope you are all eating too much already and opened all the presents on your wish lists!

It is Blogmas Day 24!! Christmas Eve!! When I first thought about doing Blogmas, it seemed such a challenging idea and I was thinking "will I be able to do it?" Coming up with a topic daily and actually getting down to do it are very different. But here we are!! The end is in sight! My last blogmas post will be tomorrow on Christmas Day.

Image capped from Showtime, USA Another TV show blog post today. Homeland Season 3 finale was aired on UK Channel 4 last night.

Image from Channel 4/ 4 on Demand website Last night after finished watching Strictly Come Dancing on BBC1 (Did you watch too? I am such a big fan of the show!!), I wasn't quite ready to go to bed yet, and I suddenly remembered that I haven't yet caught up with the Derren Brown: The Specialist show on Channel 4, which was aired on Friday, but I missed it because I went to the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park (which was brilliant! You can catch my blog post here ).

Last night Scott and I went to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. As Scott put it, going to Winter Wonderland has become our Xmas tradition. No, it is not London Eye.

It is Blogmas Day 20! Not long now til Xmas! Yay! That also means there aren't that many days left to get your Xmas shopping sorted! I have a last minute gift idea for book lovers! Well, yes, I know, it is a bit random...
