New Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Photo's are Released!

I am extremely excited for the new Harry Potter film as I am such a huge fan. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 comes out on the 19th of November and more photos and footage are being released all the time. I know many people do not know the plot of this film so I will not include any spoiler information but the photos may contain spoilers.





Harry, Ron and Hermione set off on their journey looking very anxious! Notice how old they look compared to when we first met them in the Philosophers Stone.

Harry is looking very dark here and this film promises to be the darkest yet...

What a scary face! Kids and adults of the world are all afraid of Voldemort and I can't blame them. Many people are waiting to see who will come out of this alive.. Voldemort or Harry?

Snape seems to have rejoined the Death Eaters after the tragedy of the last film. He's not too popular with the Order of the Phoenix any longer!

I just have to point out how magnificent Helena Bonham Carter looks in this photo. Here the Death Eaters meet, all looking suitably scary!


Harry is looking a little worse for wear in this photo but he has that determined look on his face that we see so often!

Ron looking quite anxious!


Looks like Hermione is doing what she does best! I love her jacket as well, she is looking very smart.


We have been waiting for ages for Hermione and Ron to get together and this photo looks very sweet, however devastated they look.

Ginny and Harry take their minds of things! Ginny has been waiting for the Chamber of Secrets for this kiss.


Anything that makes Voldemort look this happy can't be good..

Harry is putting his all into this spell! Let's hope it works!

Who do we think will win?


It looks like Ron is in serious danger and again, the film looks very dark!



Well now this looks worrying! Whose blood does Hermione have on her hands?



A dramatic, action packed photo. Death and destruction follow Voldemort around like a bad smell!


I think this sets the tone for the film and I think I know who it is in the blankets too...


It looks like the special effects in this movie are going to be good even though it is not being released in 3D anymore!

This is similar to an image I have seen before, or it might have been the trailer. More drama it seems!

It's not all drama and devastation though! This photo looks rather amusing..

Last but not least, a mysterious and spooky looking photo. I think I know what this photo is of because I have read the book. It was definitely part of the book that spooked me!

All in all I think this film looks amazing and I really can't wait to see it.

Christmas Gifts at Superdrug

"It's too early for Christmas!" I hear you cry! However many people prefer to do their Christmas shopping early and many people like to plan their Christmas shopping in advance (I am one of those people!). I picked up the Christmas gift guide from Superdrug today so I thought I'd tell you the best bits in my opinion.



Accessorize Nail Wardrobe - £9.99
This cute box includes nine different nail varnish colours and is perfect for any girly girls, teenagers and ladies. I love the design of the box and it is 3 for 2 as well.








Glee Nail Polish/Lipgloss/Glitter Trios - £4.99 each
Here we have trios of different types of make up in bright colours and with lovely Glee themed packaging. These are perfect to make up addicts that are also obsessed with Glee.





Glee Lip Balm Duo - £2.99
Two cute lip balms in a Glee themed bag. Brilliant for stocking fillers or smaller gifts!








Colourworks Smokin' Look Book - £5.99
I have never used any make up from this brand so I don't know what the quality is like. I love the idea of these "get the look" boxes though and I think the price is really good. This box contains 3 eyeshadows, 1 eyedust, 1 glitter eyeliner, 1 mascara, 1 double-ended applicator and a step by step guide. It is also available in other colours.





Sweet Snuggles Fleece Blanket - £4.99
These are so cute and look warm and cosy. I don't know how big the blankets are or how thick they are either but I think they would be a perfect gift for a girly girl!






Toy Story 3D Buzz Lightyear Bubble Bath - £5.99
Toy Story is a big hit with the kids again now, just like it was when I was little. When I was little I would have loved to get this for Christmas! It seems a wonderful present to make bathtimes more fun for the little'uns!







Baileys Truffles Share Box - £3.99
A firm christmas favourite and something that nearly any adult will love to receive! Not a bad price for 150g either!









Lynx Dark Temptation Duo Set - £4.99
It may seem obvious to buy the men in your life a Lynx set but in my experience they always love them! Dark Temptation is one of the best smelling Lynx sprays in my opinion so this is a perfect gift.

Wednesday Wants - Halloween Special!

So its Halloween this weekend and I am going to show you my pick of the best costumes and other cool halloweeny things!

1) Malice in Wonderland Costume -£39
I love Alice In Wonderland but I love this more gothic version even more! It is £39 for the dress only so you would have to buy the wig, socks, shoes and dagger yourself which would probably work out quite expensive. Everyone will love it though! Get yours here.







2) Calacas Shower Jelly - £2.95 from Lush

This is the limited edition Day of the Dead shower jelly and it smells like limes and jelly beans. You can also get it in yellow or orange and it really is lovely. Get yours at a lush shop or from here.







3) Halloween Box Set - £40 from Enchanted

A box full of seasonal bath products from Enchanted. The scents are all lovely and halloweeny and the box looks amazing. Get one from here.

I have never seen Halloween Crackers before so I was drawn to these in John Lewis yesterday! They are so different, I love them. Get yours from here.







6) Sinister Poiret Clown Costume - £17.99

This is the costume that I had originally chosen for Halloween but I wont be able to buy my costume until Friday and that is too late to order this online! It comes with the dress, neck piece and hat so you would have to buy stockings, armwarmers, a wig and make up to get the full effect. Get yours here.






7) Chocolate Halloween Lollies - 69p each or 3 for 2 from Thorntons

Thorntons have got some lovely cute chocolate lollies at 69p each and 3 for 2 at the moment. My favourite is this skeleton, he's gorgeous! Get yours instore or here.






8) Screme Egg - 50p from ASDA

The Screme Egg is just like a Creme Egg but it has green goo instead of orange! Tell me that is not amazing..








9) Rotten Coffin Halloween Prop - £99

An expensive halloween prop but can you imagine your friend's reactions? This is for someone who wants to throw an awesome halloween party where money is no object! Get one from here.

Cybercandy Halloween Sweets!

When I was in London I found the most amazing sweet shop that sold sweets from all over the world. It was called Cybercandy and apparantly can also be found in Birmingham and Brighton as well as online here. I got an email from Cybercandy today to let me know that they had halloween stock in so I went and had a look and my mouth was soon watering! Here is a selection of the goodies:

Candy Corn - £2.60 for 200g
I have never tasted Candy Corn but it really appeals to me! For £2.60 you get approximately 100 pieces of Candy Corn made by Brach's with real honey. The colours of them look so halloweeny and I really want to try them.






Indian Corn - £2.60 for 200g
This is a less traditional version of candy corn with the texture of fudge and a hint of chocolate to taste. It looks very yummy.







Mellocreme Pumpkins - £2.60 for 200g
These are apparantly extremely popular in America. They are melt in your mouth candies shaped like cute pumpkins!







Trick or Treat Bag - £6.99
This is what you always want your trick and treat bag to look like at the end of your trick or treating trip! It contains 110g Candy Pumpkins, 112g Candy Corn, 80g Saltwater Taffy, 56g Soda Poppers and 90g Root Beer Barrels




Twilight Sweethearts - £2.80 for a 5oz box
Jumping on the twilight bandwagon! These are like the American of Love Hearts and you can get a box with Edward, Bella or Jacob on the front. To top it off some of them sparkle!



Twilight Sky Bars - £2.15 for 56g
These are quite expensive in my opinion! Again you can get either Edward, Bella or Jacob and each bar has three squares, milk chocolate and peanut butter, vanilla cream and caramel. According to Cybercandy they are like a gothic chocolate bar!





I'm tempted to order some candy corn if it is vegetarian and dairy free (which I doubt!) but the rest I will just look at and drool over on the website. Any self respecting trick or treater would be very impressed to get some of these in their bag!

The ELF Cosmetics Christmas Range 2010

This morning I logged into Facebook to find that ELF Cosmetics had released their Christmas range! I'm going to show you my most wanted pieces.

Eyes
Party Eyeshadow Palette
I love the colours in this pallette and it's a bargain at £3.50 for 6 colours! I've tried ELF eyeshadows before and they're really good quality in my opinion.








32 Piece Eyeshadow Collection
Look at the pretties... the range of colours in this looks amazing and again, excellent value for £9!







Nails
I really want all of the new nail varnish colours! L-R on the top are Metal Madness, Party Purple and Golden Goddess while on the bottom are Twinkle and Glitter Glam. At £1.50 each they are truly bargains and the quality is not bad either from the ones I have tried!

I don't use face makeup like foundation and bronzer but there are many more products on the ELF website at http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk Have a look! :)

Wednesday Wants

This week winter has really set in so I have got some wednesday wants to cheer us up!

1) Moomin Hot Water Bottle - £12 from Topshop

How cute is this and who doesn't love Moomins? Cuddle up with a Moomin hot water bottle at night and keep toasty warm. Get yours from here.








2) Rocket Dog Faux Fur Boots - £99 from Littlewoods

Don't these look cosy and wintery? I had a similar pair from Primark last year but they didn't last very long. I think it might be time to invest in a pair of Rocket Dogs! Get yours here.







3) Cartoon Skull Tunic - £21.99 from New Look

Well this takes me back to my emo schooldays (only 5 years ago!). I love jumper dresses and I love the cute pattern on this one. Perfect with some wooly tights and some knee length boots for a lovely warm outfit. Get one from here.






4) Venomous Villians Mineralise Eye Shadow Duo - £16 each from MAC

Mac have just released their Venomous Villians Disney Collection and this is the product which interests me most. The colours are awesome and wintery and I love the design. Check out the rest of the collection here.



5) Maddy V Neck Cardigan - £50 from Monsoon

Some cardigans are practical but make you look chunky and a bit silly! This chocolate coloured cardigan has a very flattering cut and I love the length of it too as it can be easily worn with leggings. Get one here.







6) Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter Mug - £10 or 2 for £16 at Whittards

I love Alice In Wonderland and I especially love the Mad Hatter. This mug encapsulates the magical story without being garish and childish. There is a whole set of these on the Whittards website and I think they are beautiful. Perfect for drinking your cocoa out of on a cold winter night Get one here.





7) Teal & Gold Fulia Silk Scarf - £28 from Traidcraft

I'm not sure how warm this scarf would be so it might not be very practical but look how pretty it is! You might think that £28 is expensive for a scarf but this is handmade in India by a lady called Sasha. Read about her and buy your own scarf here.







8) Chai Shower Gel - £12.50 from Lush

Chai is my winter staple from Lush but unfortunately I haven't had any money to order it yet! It is a gorgeous spicy shower gel that smells like Chai tea. It is warming on the skin and the smell lingers all day (especially in the hair!). Chai is only available online as it is a retro Lush item. Get a bottle here.





9) Long Sleeve Tunic - £34.99 from River Island

This top is just lovely. I really like the style and the colour, it would brighten up those winter days! If you like it as much as I do then get one from here.







10) Soup Maker - £138.99 from Lakeland

I love making homemade soup in the winter but often don't have time to do it all. This machine looks amazing because it chops, boils, simmers and blends. It basically carries out all of the soup making steps and at the end you have some gorgeous homemade soup. I can't in any way afford this but I can dream! If you can then get one from here.
