Team HP!
Warning! Geek alert!!
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
The wait is over, I was over excited when I got my hands on a copy of the DVD when it was released in-stores on Monday 7th December 2009. As mentioned before, I have never watched any of the Harry Potter movies in cinema because I wait for the DVD release. I love my subtitles (I like to every word being said in such films).
I have just finished watching it *claps admirably* It exceeded my expectations and has got me wanting more! I have the urge the grab the last book and read it again just to remind myself of what happens next (but I won't as I need to finish other books). HP films are always as good as the book compared to other films that were recreated from books. For example (of ones I have seen), Twilight series, The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons. Agree?
I won't spoil it for anyone but would definitely recommend it to anyone who is thinking of watching it, of course it would make more sense if you have seen the previous ones.
I purchased mine from Asda priced at £6.71 for a 2 Disc Edition!! I have no idea why it is so cheap because I remember the others costing much more than that on release but I am not one to complain ^^

December Rambles
NDS Crime Scenes
Haii, been sooo hooked onto this game for the past couple of days but have already completed it. They need to make these games last a lot longer. Once I start these mystery/puzzle games I literally don't stop (well until I complete it). On the hunt for another game, any recommendations?
December has approached us and its only occurred to me that there is like 28 days to go before we wave goodbye to 2009 and welcome 2010. Not quite ready for it yet, feels like the year as flown past without any accomplishments. Definitely did not keep to any of my new years resolutions for 2009, shamefully. Now 2010 is approaching I'm starting to think of resolutions that are more realistic.
Has anyone managed to achieve any resolutions they made at the beginning of the year and are there any you look forward to making for 2010?
First attempt at making sushi.

Mid November Haul
Anyone else loving 'Wedding Dress' By Taeyang ^_^
Congrats to 2pm for grabbing Best male group and Artist of the Year at MAMA 2009. Need to locate where to watch all the performances.
Moving on, it has been a while since the last blogpost having being busy sorting parts of my life out but that has never stopped me from abit of retail therapy. So lets start off with cosmetics first:
Sleek palette in Graphite - I loving the dark smokey colours and was lucky enough to grab the last one on the shelf (in perfect condition too), they are selling out quicker than I expected. Although these produce loads of fall outs, the colour is really pigmented as expected like their other palettes. I also got the 'Acid' and 'Original' palettes from when they first launched.
Next I got hold of a Collection 2000 'Angelic' eye palette. I've always been a sucker for product packaging and just this just caught my eye. I swatched the colours in store and was surprised at how pigmented the eye shadows were. They are light shimmery colours, easy to work with.
I found a £5 off No7 voucher from Boots which was expiring the next day so decided to not waste it and get something. I spent ages trying to choose something that I don't have and will use. I ended up with the 'Shine Free' make-up base, it claims:
'Keeps shiny skin under control all day long, with this mattifying oil-free base. Light-reflecting particles help disguise fine lines and flws, while oil absorbing Biopol helps minimise blemishes and blot away shine without blocking pores'
Sounds amazing right? Well I've only used it a couple times and it does give a matte base to work with but it doesnt last long. I definitely wont be repurchasing.
I've tried my mum's Olay moisturiser which she has been using since forever and I really liked it so I ended up getting one for myself as I was on the hunt for a new moisturiser. It instantly absorbs into my skin without leaving it greasy. *thumbs up*
In this months Glamour magazine they were giving away nail polish by Nails Inc. I have previously heard great reviews about this brand so picked up my monthly copy of Glamour containing the polish in 'Elizabeth Street' which is a pale nude pink. The outer packaging is really cute ^^
I also ordered some stuff from e.l.f as they have launched more products in both their normal and studio lines but will put them in a different pot as I havent taken any pictures or swatched them yet.
Onto non-cosmeitc related items, nothing special in particular. As pictured, Grey cardi Uggs (gift), some ankle trainer-shoes (not sure if I'll be keeping these, think it was just an impulse buy), 2 snoods (these are so chunky and warm) and lint rolls (a must for pet owners) from h&m and a bracelet from Strawberry Bunny (the 3 stars caught my eye because of my tattoo).

Mundane Monday
The UK weather has recently taken a dramatic change, now it really feels like winter is here. Due to these changes my nails are suffering, they are either dry, chipping or even worse splitting. So I've decided to give them a trim and even them out. Does anyone know off a good treatment/conditioner for nail?
I've been getting abit bored of monotone looking nails so played around with some of the limited stash of polishes I currently own (reminding myself that I must get more colours). I went for white polka dots this time as you could see (multi coloured dots on the thumb, not pictured)
Off to finish reading 'New Moon'. Anyone else looking forward to the movie? I certainly am ^^
Coffee sends his greetings,
He doesn't like fireworks and barks crazily when they go off. Same time. Different Year.
