Christmas Giveaway!

I am very excited to announce Food and Fancies’ first ever giveaway, this site has been up and running for a few months now, so I thought I would give my readers a chance to win a little pressie!

The prize up for grabs is – Eyeko tinted cream the lovely bronzey one…. (see previous post)

This moisturising cream can be used as an all over bronzer to give you a gorgeous healthy glow as a bonus it is also moisturising and has natural jojoba and vitamin E. The Eyeko cream provides you with a bronzed luminous base; you could also use it as an eye cream. The consistency of the cream is that of an instant tan, which immediately gives gorgeous flattering colour and a sparkling subtle shimmer to add luminosity and brightness to your complexion. Head to the videos section to discover how Gems Maquillage utilises her Eyeko tinted cream which she sites as one of her favourite products.

It’s Nearly my Birthday…!

December 3, 2010 |  by Lissa  |  Beauty & Makeup, Christmas at Food and Fancies  |  No Comments  |  Share

And we can but dream….As it is my birthday tomorrow (send presents to my PO box) I though I would dedicate a post tom myself and my exorbitant wants; which are mostly based around the beauty area would you believe it.  So what am I doing for my birthday well…I am going to see Paul Weller squeeeeal!  I have seen him before a couple of years ago in another venue so I am really looking forward to it and the fact that he is playing on my actual birthday is just a bonus!  I do have to say that this weather is playing havoc with my outfit decision with the problems mostly concerning what footwear to go for.  I want to have something that I could go straight out from the gig in, that’s stylish and dressy and suitable for the snow and a gig; not asking much?!  Anyway I’ll have a think about that tonight while waiting on my mister man to finish work and battle his way in the snow to come and stay with me aww….

I have created a little wish list image of things I would love to receive for my birthday/Christmas some items i have had before, both the perfumes which I absolutely adore!  I am getting perfume for my birthday and I think I am going to go for Chanel Allure.  I read recently in an article about Chanel No.5 that Allure is the ideal scent for the girl in the journey into womanhood *perfect for me I’ll be 24 tomorrow.  I have also had the Chloe fragrance and it is divine, light, sparkling and feminine it’s so delicate and really memorable I love it.  I have also been lucky enough to have the Illamasqua smokey eyes set winging it’s way to me for my Christmas and I am in huge anticipation of it.  I’ve never tried any Illamasqua products before so expect a review up in the near future.

The boots I spotted in the Forever 21 site and for roughly £22 they are an absolute steal, extremely flattering and perfect for day wear.  The Clarins beauty flash balm I have always wanted to try as it is without hesitation a beauty holy grail, it brightens, tightens and revitalises tired faces. Plus the 25th anniversary edition comes with a gorgeous swarovski covered lid, so festive and pretty.

What’s on your Christmas beauty wish lists?  Leave a comment and let us know, perhaps we might get some more ideas!
