    This would have been one of the items at the top of my Christmas list, however I could not wait to get my hands on the Urban Decay Gwen Stefani palette. I am a big Gwen Stefani fan and have absolutely fell in love with Urban Decay this year and so when I found out that the two were collaborating, I got very excited!

    Finally last week, I went in store and purchased the Urban Decay Gwen Stefani palette and it was everything I expected and more.

    It didn’t take long before I got to work experimenting with my new palette and trying out different looks.

    Here I used the shade Stark as a base, then worked in the shade Zone as a transition shade, with the deep brown shade, Punk to darken up the lid. I finished off with Harajuku in the middle of my eyelids and went in with the striking shade 1987 in the inner corners of my eyes.

    Coach x Peanuts Collection

    It’s official, I secretly have the fashion taste of a six year old girl. It was becoming more apparent with my ever growing collection of brightly coloured accessories and girly hair bows, then just as I thought I’d taken a fancy to something more grownup, I noticed that the bags I had been eyeing up, were in fact branded with Snoopy prints…

    I’m talking about Coach’s limited edition Peanuts collection. I instantly fell in love when I came across the gorgeous Coach x Peanuts Surrey Satchels. Made from cow hide leather and available in colours black, white, brown and yellow, in a mix of sizes mini and regular, these handbags are super cute! As well as having a great shape and design, each bag is embossed or printed with Charles M. Schulz’s drawings of Snoopy which makes me love them even more.

    The Surrey Satchels are what instantly caught my eye, however there are also tote bags and other accessories in this numbered, limited Coach x Peanuts collection. I’m not usually one for designer handbags (I’m more of a buy in bulk on the high street type of girl), however these little beauty’s certainly got my attention. I say if it’s ever worth splashing the cash, at least do it buying something good quality and unique.
