So I may be a little bit behind the band wagon on this one but I tried and tried to get this palette and only a managed to get hold of it about 6 or 8 weeks ago.

I can not even tell you how much I love this palette... it has all the colours in which I will love and use and is a great every day palette!


I really love all of the colours in this.. there are a couple of colours when I first saw I was a bit meh about but when I tired them in a look they worked well. My particular favorites are the 3 green ones in the dead centre. I am always a bit skeptical about wearing green because I have really green eyes but it really looked lovely.


The accessorize palette retails for £8.99 and is available from Accessorize and Superdrugs.



Do you love the accessorize palettes? Which is your favorite?

You may remember a months back I did this blog post and this video on my youtube channel of my Top nail colours for Spring. I missed Summer out because they are pretty much the same as spring, all nice bright colours.
I think we can firmly say that we are going into Autumn/Winter so I thought I would pack away the bright colours and share with you my Top nail colours for Autumn/Winter. I have done a video which is avaliable over on my youtube channel if you want to see a breakdown of them all.


So my Top (11) Nail Colours for Autumn/Winter 2012.

I cant remember if I have mentioned this before but I am currently training  to be a guide leader. I absolutely love it. I get to spend my Wednesday nights with 23 absolutely nutty and wonderful teenage girls.
Yesterday me, one of the other leaders, 19 of our guides and 3 buses of guides from our district took the 2 hour trip over to Sheffield for the Annual Girl Guides Big Gig. Basically the big gig is like a pop concert which they host and pop stars come along and perform! I was quite excited to go as they gradually revealed the line up would include JLS, Scouting for Girls, Amelia Lily, Cover Drive, Little Mix, Loveable Rogues and Conor Maynard.

Now excuse the crappy photos.. I didnt take my camera so I just took pictures on my phone :P

Now I absolutely LOVE apple crumble... I mean love. Its definitely my favorite pudding and if its on offer when we go out then its my top choice. Now as you know I also love baking so every now and again I like to treat myself and my family and make one at home. Mum and Dad have been on holiday for 2 weeks and I wanted to cook a nice tea when they got back on Friday I wanted to cook something yummy. So I thought I would make an apple crumble for after a pie I made (I will do another blog post). Apple Crumble is SO easy to make an so cheap!!!

You will need:

For the crumble

• 300g plain flour 
• 175g sugar
• 200g unsalted butter
  
  

For the filling

• 450g apples
• 50g sugar
• 1 pinch of ground cinnamon

1. Put your flour and sugar into a bowl and mix it in. 
2. Add butter (cubed) into bowl and rub it together - you can used your fingers to do is but I usually use a fork. The consistency which you are looking for is like bread crumbs. 
3. Put topping to one side
4. Cut apples up into cubes. You can put it straight into the pie and bake but when I do it I usually cook the apples first in a sauce pan. Put them in a sauce pan and add sugar until the apples are soft. 
5. Add the apple filling to a large bowl and add the topping on the top. 
6. Put into the oven on Gas Mark 4
7. Cook for around 40 minutes or until top is golden brown. 
8. Serve with custard or cream 

Yummy :)

Obviously you can do this with other fruit too.. But you cant beat a hearty apple crumble - especially on those cold autumn winter nights!
