Can I Mention The C Word?

Christmas is already around the corner. I love to wear different make-up during Christmas holidays. I love to apply something sparkly and shiny, matching our Christmas Tree. This year I will wear gold! L’Oreal La Belle Famille review panel sent me some exciting new make-up products to try. Since I have Mahogany – Henna hair colour I love to apply warmer colours. Gold matches my hair colour perfectly.

Have a Merry Metal Christmas with my favourite L’Oreal make-up products.

L’Oreal Paris Glow Drops

This is an absolutely must have product. I use it as a highlighter on my cheeks, nose and chin. This highlighting fluid makes me look younger. My face looks firmer because the light sparkle. It is amazing. I apply only a very little drop with my precious Infallible Blush Brush or pat lightly with my fingers. Application is really quick and easy. I can fit it perfectly into my morning routine. Glow Drops have non greasy and light consistency. You can even mix with your foundation to have some extra firm look.

L’Oreal Paris Infallible Metallic Eye Liner

This Ultra Precision Super Liner is ultra-precise. It has very thin brush so perfect lining is very easy. I must buy one in black as well, this will solve all my lining and eyewinging problems. This light gold colour surprisingly highlights my eyes. I thought this colour is invisible on eye lids, but I had a very positive disappointment. My eyes are bigger and bolder with Infallible Metallic Eye Liner. The colour is decent, absolutely appropriate for everyday wear. This ultra-pigmented gold glitter liner does not smudge and lasts all day.

L’Oreal Paris Infallible Metallic Lip Paints

I hesitated quite long time between two colours: Lolita or Pixie. I am very happy I choose the gold Lolita. This colour goes so well with my hair colour. I love to wear it in light layer during the day or I apply some extra layers for more metallic look when I go out. Infallible Metallic Lip Paint has non sticky liquid consistency and ultra-saturated, longwearing formula. The colour does not fade or smudge during the day. Infallible Metallic Lip Paint gives me a confidence.

Happy Holidays

Winter Holidays are nearly over. I love Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebrations. I love the preparation, home made decorations and Christmas lights. So I am always a little bit sad when January begins.

We had lots of fun during Christmas holidays. I was more relaxed compared to previous years, because I have not been overwhelmed with lots of cooking.

I would like to say big thank you to Tesco for selling Christmas Party Food; Cheese Boards and Christmas Desserts. Prices are really good and the food looks amazing. My family members loved every bites. They even did not realise I did not cook lots from scratch this year. They were satisfied and well fed with my Tesco food haul. I love when my guests eat my food – it even helps to reduce food waste.

I am panel member at Orchard at Tesco. They offered me money off coupon from their Christmas range. I chose Party Food, there were cheese and dessert coupons as well.

Tesco’s Christmas food range is amazing. You can find everything what you need and even more!

I just mention our family favourites. Tesco Finest Scottish Smoked Salmon Trio is delicious, consists of layers of smoked salmon, flavoured with lemon, pepper, beetroot and smoked chestnut and finished with lemon wedges and dill. Even big gourmets will love it.

You can buy Tesco Finest Antipasti Selection on a beautiful handcrafted serving board. This delicious platter of crowd-pleasing antipasti meats is best served with crusty bread and juicy olives for the real Mediterranean experience.

Christmas prices and offers are really good at Tesco. All the party food were on 3 for 2 offer during December. All party foods are freezable so I stocked up to save on Christmas menu.

It was a hard choice, but with Breaded Chicken Sticks & Pops and chips you never go wrong on a Christmas party, even pickiest children will eat these tasty bites. These chopped and shaped chicken sticks and pops in a crispy breadcrumb coating are so crispy and easy to cook. It is impossible to spoil. Even my husband or dad can cook it in the oven when we women have lots to do. Even our very picky cat loved breaded chicken bites. Anyway she does not eat human food. It should have very tempting aroma when she asks to try it. And yes, Tesco Christmas Party Food has very tempting aroma and delicious flavour.

I made the desserts myself because we love traditional Christmas bakes. I bought only some from Tesco. Pear, Plum and Cinnamon Mince Pies were fantastic for my picky guests. These fake mince pies are packed with ripe plums and pears in a buttery, melt-in-the-mouth pastry. I cannot resist to buy some Chocolate Truffle Sprouts (made entirely from creamy Belgian chocolate) just for fun.

I baked some Poppy Seeded Rolls and Walnut Rolls. I tried this recipe first time and luckily the result was delicious. I must repeat it more often.

I was creative with Bramley Apple Sauce and baked mini apple pies decorated with ready to roll icing.

Linzer Cookies are the best Christmas treats. You can bake them any time during December, hide in a biscuit tin and just serve during Christmas holidays. If you do not hide them you must bake 3-4 portions during December. Linzer Cookies are really addictive. Just saying….

After so much good food here is the time to go back to my exercise routine. I had the first run in 2017 today. I was happy to try my Christmas presents in action.
