special costumes: Amazing Advertisers

Hi guys! I hope you're all well and are excited for NYE tomorrow evening. I can't believe we're now less than 48 hours away from it being a brand new year - this year seems to have gone by so quickly but its been a really great one and I'm hoping 2015 will be the same! I'm going to a lovely Thai restaurant in Manchester tomorrow evening with my boyfriend and two of our closest friends so that should be lovely - I'm just a tad excited to get glammed up and drink prosecco! I'm also planning on posting all about my 'NYE get ready routine' tomorrow which will feature all of the products I'll be using to get myself looking glam and my very pretty sparkly dress so keep your eyes peeled for that.

For now, here are my lovely December advertisers! I hope you've enjoyed seeing them over in my sidebar this past month and have popped over to say hi to them all! If not, keep reading to find out a bit more about them and start the new year with some new reading material ...

Carly from Carly's Beauty World

Hi everyone, I’m Carly and I blog at carlysbeautyworld.com. I set up my blog a couple of years after I gave up my beauty salon to pursue a different career. I had been in the beauty industry for 15 years and wanted to continue to share my knowledge and help people. My friend suggested that I write a blog and I’m so glad that I did.

At Carly’s Beauty World you will find that amongst the product reviews and fun posts, I also write about and specialise in specific areas such as skincare and other beauty related topics. If you want to diagnose your skin type or learn how to choose skincare products you can come to my blog and find the advice you need easily.

I’m always chatting to people on my various social media sites so come and say hi. I look forward to meeting you all. I’m having a giveaway to win a Lush Cosmetics gift voucher so don’t forget to enter when you visit my blog (see here).

Ada from Adaatude

Most of my friends call me Ada which is short for Adaleta. I work for a technology company that provides marketing solutions for destinations around the world. As you may imagine, along with my job comes the incredible task of traveling! Because I was born in Bosnia, moved to the east coast at a young age, grew up in Los Angeles, and somehow ended up in Arizona I think it's definitely safe to say it's "in my blood" to enjoy exploring new places, different foods, cultures, and everything of the sort. Above my love for travel and new adventures, I am a social media enthusiast, and love beauty and makeup a bit too much. I don't consider myself a foodie, but I do love me some food and wine. My blog allows my readers to follow me along on my travels and see the beauty world through my eyes. If you're up for some sarcastic cheesy humor, traveel excitement, and consistent beauty reviews, hop on over to adaatude.com and drop a comment telling me about your favorites! Ada xx

Anna from The Look List

Hi it’s Anna here and I blog over at The Look List! I’m a fashion, beauty and lifestyle blogger from Manchester. I simply love all things fashion and beauty related; make-up, skincare, shoes, bags, (the list goes on…) and wanted to have my own little space to talk about them. My blog is a little bit of everything; you’ll find product reviews, fashion/beauty hauls, fashion posts and travel and lifestyle posts. I’ve loved and enjoyed reading beauty and fashion blogs for years, always wondering what it would be like to have my own and I set up The Look List in the hope that I make readers feel as inspired as other bloggers have made me.

So come and take a look and I really hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!

Nafisah from Bamblings of Naffy

Hi everyone! My name is Nafisah and I blog over at Bamblings of Naffy. I also have a Youtube channel with the same name. They are my little space on the internet where I talk about my obsession for everything make up and fashion related. I have a big obsession with Lipsticks. Chances are you will find me either in the make up isles in Boots or getting lost in a book drinking a cup of tea.

A main passion of mine is helping others and one way I want to that is by making advice videos on a second Youtube channel in 2015. I plan to make videos about everything from body image to surviving university so keep an eye out for that!

Thank you all for stopping by and I hope you like what you see! Lots of love.

I hope you all enjoyed getting to know a bit more about these ladies - be sure to head over to their blogs and check them out, they're all great! I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has advertised with me throughout 2014! If you'd like to book a space for 2015, you can find out more about my advertising spaces here.

Lots of love,
