Whats in my Makeup Bag? I Winter Edition // Blogmas Day 16-18

 

So I'm not sure I've ever posted one of these before, but afer experimenting a lot with different makeup, I've compiled some products that I use everyday and have what I think the best results for my skin!

Foundation

I never ever used to wear foundation however recently when I bought this foundation and I love it and it just makes my skin look 1000 times better! Its absolutely amazing and I would definitely recommend you buying!

Concealer

This has been the product I have only been using to cover blemishes and no longer use it to hide dark circles etc. because my foundation does that job now. It is still however Benefit Boi-ing concealer!

Blusher

I use the Benefit Coralista on the apples of my cheeks and it leaves a healthy glow

Bronzer
Benefit Hoola bronzer is the way to go with bronzer! I'm absolutely obsessed with it and wear it every single day to make me look human, especially during these winter months!

Mascara

It is still They're Real mascara however I have been really loving the Maybeline Great Lash mascara! I have a few mascara's that I actually really want to try out so maybe this will change soon...

Perect Christmas Gift // Blogmas Day 15

 

With only 10 days to go, if your like myself, your starting to panic because you still haven't done any shopping! Do not fear, as from now until Christmas Eve I will be giving you little clues as to what you can buy for anyone (preferably women) ranging in prices!

 

Today I'll kick start this by showing you this beautiful Ted Baker set of little minis! This is more for a teenager, or someone who does a lot of travelling so they can keep them in their bag at all time and not worry about it taking up space! It would be a great secret santa present if you take part in things like that, or a small gift for someone!?

 

The packaging is beautiful, but then again when is Ted Baker stuff not...?

Most importantly it smells incredible and it's a gorgeous scent for all year round!

The best part is that it is only £10! At such an affordable price how can you not resist the urge to buy it for someone!?

Hope this gave you a little bit of help, if your like me and need present ideas urgently! It is available to buy here!

See you tomorrow!

The Christmas Tag // Blogmas Day 11,12&13

Sorry I haven't blogged in a few days! I've been without wifi for a few days, so couldn't get them up in time...sad face:( Lets carry on anyway...

So we all should know by now that when I'm lost for inspiration or don't know what to write about, I turn to my trustee old tag post! It's Christmas time, so why not share with you my favourite Christmas things!

 

1. What is your favourite Christmas Movie/s?

 

Considering I'm writing this whilst watching Elf for the 4th time this Christmas it really has to be Elf! Although contrary to that I do love the Holiday! I never ever get tired of watching either of them!

 

2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?

CHRISTMAS MORNING. OBVIOUSLY!? 

 

3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?

 

I can't really pinpoint a specific Christmas memory - just everything about Christmas!

 

4. Favourite festive food?

It just has to be the Christmas dinner!

 

5. Favourite gift?

I'm not really too sure about this one!? I cant really decide!

 

6. Favourite Christmas Scent?

Just anything musky or cinnimonny really!

 7. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?

 Hmmm..... every Christmas Eve tends to be different in its own way! There's always a lot of running around and doing things because my family is so un-organized! I always try and get my nails done for Christmas, and for the past few years I've left that late so I've been running through town trying to find a place! Also, each alternate year my cousin is at his mum for Christmas so he always comes over on Christmas Eve and we open a present or too together which is so lovely, but its really sad he's not here for Christmas:(
Of course we put a mince pie, a glass of milk and a carrot out for Rudolph because it would be rude not too!

8. What tops your tree?
Just a simple angel! We've tried stars and all sorts but they always just flop and go lop-sided!

9. As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received?
A Puppy! Every single year I ask for this, and this year is no different! Let's hope it comes true this year!....

10. What's the best part about Christmas for you?

This is so cliché but its just being together as a family! None of us see each other as much as we'd like to, and its just a day that everyone is happy! All the presents I must say, is my favourite part aswell! Wrapping and giving presents is so exciting but also receiving them! I just think Christmas is the best time of the year EVER!

 

My Fitness Routine // Blogmas Day 10

Fitness is always quite a personal and private subject for anyone to talk about, and I have kept my fitness routine really quiet from everyone, for many a reasons but today I thought I would share with you my routine that after a long time have finally found is the best!

I'm not very good at sticking to things (if you haven't already guessed) and finding a routine that I could stick to, and didn't stretch myself tooo much was really quite difficult!

I download a lot of apps and calorie counters etc and just found these didn't work! I then download pump up again, because I had previously designed a workout that was far too advanced and just found it impossible to complete everyday!

I designed, to begin with, something really simple so that I could ease into it and began to make it harder and harder and I'm really happy with how its all turned out!

Pump Up is also a community app, where you can share your progress with other people (if you want to) and you can all encourage each other, which I find really helpful! People posts pictures of their food, progress, workout regimes it gives you the kick up the bum you need!


I would highly recommend downloading this to keep track of your progress!

 

Perfect Autumn-Winter Nails / Nails Inc // Blogmas Day 9!

 

Todays post is brought to you by Nails Inc! This is a little brand focus, because I was introduced to the winter collection and they are perfect!


They are all deep purple, mauve tones and definately up my street! I know there are probably a lot of cheaper alternatives but I haven't yet seen any just as great as these and would definitely recommend splashing out on them, or definately asking for a few of them for Christmas!

 

See you tomorrow for Blogmas Day 10!

 

 

Christmas Bunting // Blogmas Day 8!

 

Hello Lovlies!

Welcome to Blogmas Day 8 and for todays post, I will be showing you a super affordable, cuteand affective way to turn your room/space into a Christmas Wonderland!

Recently when I was out shopping I walked past Poundland and something caught my eye, so I went in and to my surprise they had an AMAZING christmas range!!!

I went a l i t t l e  bit crazy in there, but you'll see that soon! One of the things I picked up was this Christmas Bunting packet! The colours were lovely and it was so easy, so I'm going to show you how to make it....

What you will need:

- Felt Letters spelling ' Merry Christmas', (with holes in the tops of them!)
- Ribbon (any colour)

I would like to apologies in advanced for the quality of these photos as I took them on my phone due to my camera being out of battery, at the time!

Step 1

First of all you need to take the ribbon and thread the first letter through ( In my case M), and depending where you are hanging this tie a knot in the end.

Step 2

Now all you need to do is thread the letters through the holes, leaving an even space between them all!

 

Step 3

Hang them in your desired place! This really makes the room look so much more christmassy due to it taking up so much space!

 

 

 

See you tomorrow for Blogmas Day 9!

 

Blogmas // Days 1 - 7!

 

 

So my initial plan was to post every 3 days...but again...I've changed my mind! If you haven't already guessed I'm extremely indecisive!

I am putting the first 5 days into one blog post and then starting on Monday, a different post everyday and we'll just see how we'll go from there! It'll probably change since then!

Lets get on then...

30th November

So this is a day before December but to get into the Christmas spirit I went of to a Reindeer Centre and saw all the reindeer and Santa etc.
It was such a good day and the perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit!

*Que a lot of photos*

My jacket doesn't really agree with the camera!

                                                              An attempt on an olaf....

 

1st - 5th December

So when the 1st December arrived, so did Monday! This didn't bode well....
Despite having to go back to school, I was also ill for the duration of the week! The only thing that kept me going was opening my advent calendar every morning!

The only exciting thing I did last week was go to the annual pantomime! I'm really bringing out my inner child now... but its a family tradition and was excellent!

                                                                  Saturday 6th December

taken on my phone apologies!

 

Yesterday, I went back to Loftus Road where I hadn't been in an extremely long time to watch my beloved QPR play again Burnley and much to my surprise we won 2-0!!!

So we now arrive to Sunday where it is 5:15 in the evening and I'm still in my pyjamas...
                                                 SUNDAYS ARE FOR RELAXING!

Now... this is the only Blogmas you've probably read where it has been so up in the air and, well, messed up basically! However I think I've finally sorted it out!

See you tomorrow for a Christmas  DIY...!
