Eric Northman, mmmm!

As regular readers may know I am obsessed with the tv series True Blood, and even more so with the character Eric Northman. He is played by the very handsome Swedish actor, Alexander Skarsgard.

I have watched all seasons and am now eagerly awaiting Season 5 to come out. It's not going to be out in the UK for agggesss but luckily I am able to view it when it premiers in the US, yay!

I've been having Eric Northman withdrawals though so thought I'd satisfy my craving by filling my screen (an yours) full of Vampire hotness...

Do you watch True Blood?

FOTD- Glamour me. & New necklace

This post should really be called "Face from the OTHER day" as I took this photo a couple of days ago. I primarily used the deep plum colour called "Glamour Me" from the True Blood make up pallete (see previous post), with a hint of "True Death" (a really pigmented silver) and "Telepath" (a beautiful shimmery rose petal pink).

Here are the shades I used-

My brother in law bought me this gorgeous spiky necklace from Miss Selfridge for Christmas, I absolutely LOVE it!

30 Day Challenge- Day 24, Favourite new beauty product.

As some of you may know I love the series True Blood (vampires, love, sex, death and action = perfect TV viewing!)

When I saw that the make up brand Tarte had collaborated with True Blood and come up with a limited edition palette I nearly peed myself with excitement. My dad bought it me for Christmas and I was so excited to try it out. The palette comes with 17 beautiful eye shadows all named after the show, a mini eye primer, mini mascara and a black gel eye-liner. It also comes with a card showing different looks and how to create them.

I can't decide whether the design on the box is tacky or not? I guess its in keeping with the Gothic/vampire theme of the show.

The shadows are all named (such as such as "V", "Fairy", "Telepath", "True Death" and "Stake" ) but to take a good enough photo I had to take the plastic part off. My phone camera takes rubbish photos, you can't see how glittery and shimmery some of these colours really are.

Eye primer, mascara and eye-liner pulls out in a cute little drawer. 

This is definitely my favourite new beauty product, I am so excited to use all the different shadows.

Nerves, nails & early Xmas presents

At 9 am today a social worker was coming to visit regarding fostering. I was so nervous, i didnt really know what to expect. I made sure the house was tidy and the dogs were put away in the kitchen, then i sat waiting for a knock at the door. My heart was pounding, stomach churning, mouth dry... Im such an idiot. I guess thats just my anxiety though. The lady was late by 25 mins, so id sat suffering for what seemed like forever. She came in and sat down, luckily she was very nice and i relaxed as she told me about different types of fostering, what checks they do, money, help etc... Ive decided that fostering IS what i want to do so shes put me on the list to recieve the first part of training where they will do important checks like medical records, CRB checks, references from previous employers etc... Im rather excited! I will have weekly training in the evenings for 9 weeks and have the oppurtunity to advance during my time as a foster carer. I really hope im accepted :) ive just got to wait for a letter with more details now.

My juicy jules nail varnish chipped the other day so i took it all off lastnight and re did them with Models Own pink fizz and thunder & lightening, here are my NOTW (nails of the week)-

I wasnt too sure of the black accent nail at first but its grown on me.

Ive just had a listen to The Saturdays new single "My heart takes over" and watched their video, cant say im impressed... Its quite boring. Ive tried linking it so you guys can watch but my ipads being a moron. Im thinking of recreating Frankies look on the picture on the left, what do you think?

Lastnight, two things got me rather excited. My best friend and i decided we are going to see Britney in her Femme Fatale tour at the end of this month. Been as we are rather skint at the mo we asked our lovely mommys if theyd buy our tickets as an early Christmas present. They both said yes, woo hoo! Im so excited! We saw her 2 years ago in her Circus tour, she was amazing! I had goosebumps when she came on and couldnt stop smiling throughout. Im sure she will be just as fab this time round.

I found a review of it on Temptalia.com and fell in love instantly so searched for it on ebay. Found one in the UK for £55, woo hoo! AND its location is my mum and dads town! Its got to be fate! My dear father has agreed to buy it me :-D i cant wait for it to arrive. Will post a review full of pics when i have it. But for now, heres a pic from the net...
