Christmas Gifts from MAC...


 Guilty Passions: 4 Brilliantly Cool Crushed Megallic Pigments

I received an email from MAC last week with their new make up gift sets.

I must say they are gorgeous! I would be so happy if I received one of these for Christmas and I have no doubt many other ladies out there will think the same!

The Holiday collection is split into colours; Pink, Mint and Peach. Lovely pastel colours of cases, clutch bags, make up bags and much more filled with MAC make up and/or brushes.

Gorgeous glamorous pressies!!!

Merry Christmas Blogger World......

This is my first Christmas as a blogger!

Dreams of Beauty has been active since February 2011 and so in a couple of months it will be 1 years old!

I must say beginning a blog is so much harder than you could ever imagine, setting it up and getting it just right, and sometimes you do feel like you are talking to nobody!

I really do appreciate every single person who takes time out of their day to read some of my rambles, I do hope you find them useful!

I love blogging now and can't imagine not doing, it is always in your stream of thoughts whilst in Boots or at a make up counter.. thinking hmmm I'll blog about this. I don't get paid for writing my blog, I just enjoy writing it as a hobby! I am studying for a degree in English and I am a fashion and beauty obsessive, so what could be a better outlet!

Look out for D.O.B 1st birthday celebrations throughout February! Including give-away's and more!


I want to wish all of my readers, followers and non followers a Happy, Magical Christmas and a Prosperous and healthy New Year!


Lots of Love as always


Amanda


MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM MANCHESTER!!!

Christmas Crafting!!!!



I purchased a Christmas wreath last year and quite frankly it wasn't worthy of being put up this year so it moved house, straight into the bin. So I had been on the look out for a new wreath to match this years jewelled colour theme in my lounge... I did see one, although due to my student bank balance it wasn't really a 'must have' buy so I thought better of it and left it. The wreath hanger from last year had been so empty and looked very silly hung over my door with nothing on it!

And so sitting there at 10pm at night, mid week, an idea popped into my head. Why don't I make my own Christmas wreath!

I got to it, got out the super glue, baubles from last year (they weren't allowed to be put out this year as they didn't match!) tinsel from last year and some string. (yes my boyfriend thought I was slightly mad beginning this at such an hour! :)

I threaded all the baubles together and tied into a circular shape, gluing each bauble to each other for a slightly more sturdy structure and here it is......



I must say I am very proud of myself!!!
