Since reading this post from BritishBeautyBlogger, my heart has been beating nineteen to the dozen and a few hours later, shows no signs of slowing down.

Check out what Urban Decay has in store for us this March (US Release: 28th December – lucky so and so’s)…

Introducing, The Urban Decay Alice In Wonderland Palette.  Timed to coincide with the new Tim Burton film of the same name.

Do we recognise any of those 16 re-named colours?  I’m completely in love with it, but wonder just how many of those shades I already own…

There’s only 2000 set to be released in the UK, so it’s gonna be a challenge to nab one.

What are your thoughts? Will you be getting one?

Things are hugely hectic at Casa de Lipglossing.  Leila appears to be coming down with a sickness and diarrhea bug just as we’re supposed to be packing up for a 325 mile trip to Mr. L’s parents for Christmas.  I’d love to have more time to update the blog, but time seems to be the one thing I have precious little of.

To keep things ticking over, I present you with a Monday Poll, on a Tuesday!  I used to love doing these and haven’t done one for aaaaages!!

1. Mood:

Fretful and anxious

2. Left or Right-handed:

I’m a lefty, I turn the paper sideways to write on it.  Apparently I’m not gonna live as long as you righties.  Something to look forward to.

3. Where do you consider home:

Hmmm… I feel at home here in Hampshire on the South Coast of England, but I feel equally at home in South Sydney, Australia.  I think I’m quite adaptable.

4. Three things you’re grateful for:

My husband and baby daughter, my health and my iPhone, dinner, makeup, nice nails, camera, stuff.

5. Eyes/Lips/Cheeks:

Eyes: Yesterday’s mascara *rubs*

Lips: Nothing

Cheeks: Nothing

Boring, I know… today I have been mostly doing the laundry.

6. Have you ever studied abroad?

Nope.

7. Do you collect anything?

Yes! Makeup, Nail Polishes, Avengers Memorabilia, Dust…

8. Last text you sent…

I don’t do texting… I’m the slowest texter on the planet.  I’d much rather make a quick phonecall.

9. Outfit

Jogging Bottoms and a semi-shapeless t-shirt.  Laundry day remember?

10. Weekly Goals

Get the family up to the North East of England without too much drama, eat as much as possible without putting on a single pound in weight and help my family enjoy Christmas despite us all being a bit under the weather.

I’d love to hear your version of the above, let me know your answers in the comments!

I found another Stellar Showlights Lipstick lurking in my local T.K. Maxx… this time in the shade Ra Ra Red.

I was a little disappointed that it wasn’t the same glitter-bomb affair as the last one… but it still has glamour running through it’s veins.

Love the heavyweight packaging of the old style HR lippies.

These lippies are beautifully sheer yet buildable and I also find them quite moisturising… most of all, I love the shimmer left on the lips.  They give a fantastic illusion of fullness.

More, more… must find more!

An ASDA £5 Gift Card for you to spend on whatever you want (although, I recommend the nail polishes) 😉

I’m thinking of buying one of these wandy things (or at least making a last minute plea to Father Christmas for one)…

All the cool kids seem to be using them and I’m fed up of living on the edge of society 😉

Do you use one?

I got sent some info on Diva Professional Styling and it was the conical wand in particular that caught my attention.

It’s freakin’ purple!

It gets props from me just for not being pink man….

It has a titanium barrel and I notice that one of it’s main competitors has a porcelain one… anyone with a brain care to share what they know about the differences between titanium and porcelain barrels?  I promise not to yawn openly 😉  Joking aside, I genuinely am interested.  I shall ask the PR lady and get back to you on that one.

So, apart from crisping up my hair and removing my fingerprints with the searing heat are there any other pitfalls I should know about?

What?

Oh hai spiral perm!  Please go back to 1993 and die.

I actually had something simillar in Year 8 (is it still called year 8?) … not quite as big, but equally um… crispy.

Check out the Diva Titanium Hot Wand online at Sallys – guaranteed not to make you look like a 90s reject (unless you erm… want to)
