Perfect Anniversary/Valentines Make up with Frontcover Cosmetics

Every women likes to dress up once in a while and now that Valentines is fast approaching.

Why not buy a make up set from Frontcover Cosmetics to give you a glam new look.

I was sent the Metallics Colours of the Catwalk collection just in time for

both my anniversary and valentines day so that on both occasions I can 

feel and look fab.

The set is currently £13.95 and can be purchased over on their website.

The collection runs a theme with a warm metallic colour for eyes, cheeks and lips. 

Nails complete the look in a cool metallic colour gunmetal.   

The set contains: 

X3 Domed Baked Powder Eyeshadows

1 Double Ended Applicator

Pewter Eye Pencil and Smudger

Flat Cheek Brush

NEW Springy Cream Blusher

Nail Polish

X2 Mini Lipsticks

The instructions make it pretty easy to follow and below is a photo of me

taken a week or so ago when I first tried out the make up look. 

I really loved the smoky eye affect which you can't see that well in the photo unfortunately. 

I also chose to use mascara as its one of my make up must haves. 

The lipsticks are fab colours as you can see below my lips stand out a little more than

usual thanks to the hint of colour. 

 I wasn't too keen on the blusher as I found due to being really pale

my skin looked really flushed with it on so if your really pale

probably best to leave the blush. 

I didn't use the nail polish as I've never really liked wearing nail polish 

but it does look a fab colour 

The Dogs doodahs Anniversary Card

 As I've said before near the beginning of February is mine and Stuart's second wedding anniversary.

Now The Dogs Doodahs kindly offered to let me have a card to show you.

The Dogs Doodahs is a company that let you personalise cards

for all occasions. 

They also do personalised mugs, notebooks, aprons and balloons.

I'm sure most people love giving/receiving personalised gifts and cards

as it makes it feel more personal and that effort has been put in. 

I really did struggle with choosing which card to get Stuart for our anniversary as you 

are spoilt for choice. 

There were romantic ones and humorous one's  and I love a bit of romance

and my husband is our family's comedian as he is always cracking jokes. 

In the end I settled for the sentimental poem for my wonderful husband.

The standard card is £3.50 and the large card is £5.95. 

I was given a voucher for the standard one which I was more than happy with. 

When it comes to personalising the card I was able to put Stuart's name on the front.

With most cards you can do this and some cards allow you to add photo's to the front too. 

When you go on to choose what you would like in side the card on the left

you have an option of choosing photo's or text so I chose to use two

of our wedding photos and then wrote my own little poem on the right hand

side. 

Have you used The Dogs Doodahs before? They have such lovely designs. 

Ways to celebrate your Anniversary

On February 4th 2014 me and Stuart will have been married for two wonderful years. 

We married in a local church and then had a reception at a hall not too far away. 

We had a 4 o clock wedding, with approx 50 friends and family members and 

then a lovely meal and then the snow decided to come making

people leave before the evening had really begun. 

Still we had a wonderful day as it was about us making our vows and

spending the rest of our life together. 

I have decided to compile a list of ideas for celebrating your anniversary 

whether you have been together 1 year or for 50 years. 

1. Write an anniversary letter 

this year I am going to give my hubby a personal letter 

2. Bake an anniversary cake together

I love this idea we can have this as dessert instead of having one when we have a meal out

3. Have a meal out at your favourite restaurant and dress up 

of course the frugal bit of this would be that you order a starter and a main

or just a main to save you £'s and still have a good time. 

4. Have a 2 meals for £x meal deal thing

We will most likely do this for valentines this year however it's a fab

idea if you want to save more £'s instead of going out. 

Most supermarkets do these deals in the past we have got them 

from Tesco, Morrison, Marks and Spencer and Waitrose.

5. Do joint gifts

This year for cotton we are doing a joint gift which after

our anniversary I'll show you.

6. Enjoy a lovely breakfast together 

Make something that you don't normally have that often 

such as scrambled eggs and salmon or pancakes. 

7. Go out for coffee and cake

If your a fan of Costa or Starbucks why not enjoy a mid morning or afternoon

coffee and cake. 

8. Go for an evening walk and watch the sunset

I love the idea of going to a lake we have in our area for a walk and seeing the sun setting.

9. Recreate your first date

10. Play your first dance song

11. Go through your wedding album together

12. Have an annual wedding anniversary photo of you both 

13. If you can afford to go away for the week/weekend or evening just for the night

14. Go and see a show at the theatre 

I hope you like my ideas if you can think of anymore I would love to know :)
