Most random gift of the year award goes to my dad, who was clearly running out of ideas and got me a Stylophone, but it definitely kept me amused for ages! He also bought the electronic version of Monopoly for us all to play - have any of you played it? It's awesome, you have bank cards instead of paper money and stuff, and the prices are huge in comparison to the traditional game. I won, by the way, after buying out both my parents, my sister and my grandparents with a grand total of £46.9m ;P What did you all get up to, what are your family traditions?
But I digress - I barely ever wear eyeshadow or anything these days, partly because I never have the time to construct an elaborate eye look of a morning, but mostly because I am much more partial to a black liner and pink lips look. Since it was Christmas, though, and I had plenty of time to put my face on, I thought I'd go for a nice festive gold and black eye. It felt weird wearing stuff on my eyes but kind of nice - perhaps I'll make more of an effort to do some nice eyeshadow maybe once a week or something.

And of course, I couldn't possibly show you my Christmas day makeup without the nails as well! I must say they kinda look more like New Year themed nails than Christmas, but I wanted a gold and black theme to go with my eyes. Just an old black NYC polish, and the stars are from Bundlemonster plate BM21 stamped with China Glaze Passion.
