March favourites

I can't believe March is over already!! Is it just me or has this year gone so quick already. I'm going to do my monthly favourites. Enjoy!!!

Clinique-chubby contour stick: there is a lot of product in the chubby stick which is great. It blends out perfectly and gives great cheekbones, if you love contouring this is the product for you.

Zoeva-100 luxe face paint: I haven't had this brush for long but I love it. There are no runaway hairs when washing or applying with this brush. It is made out of natural hairs. I find that the zoeva brushes always look so perfect. They are also a great size for traveling with.

Rimmel-wake me up foundation: this foundation is one of my faves, it has a medium coverage which I love. It doesn't go cakey which I always like with a foundation. I find that this colour suits my skin tone really well and it also makes my face feel so smooth. A little bit goes along way, with just one pump if you want a light coverage is all you need so it is build able on the face.

Charlotte Tilbury-lip liner savage rose: this lip liner is so pretty it draws round the lips so perfectly and it doesn't smudge. A lot of lip liners can be quite rough when applying but no this one is creamy. I really recommend this product.

Charlotte Tilbury-lipstick walk of shame: it's such a beautiful colour plummy red sort of colour. It has a matte finish some lipsticks with this finish are very drying to the lips but this one isn't. It is a very long lasting lipstick so will last for most of the day. I am in love with the packaging because I love rose gold.

Urban decay-smokey palette: at first I didn't know what sort of look to do with this palette because there are a lot of dark colours. Eventually I got the hang of this palette and now I can do neutral and smokey looks with this palette. One of my favourite colours is 'armour' because the silver has a lot of pigment so it stands out a lot more than what you expect it to.

What I got for Christmas

I can't believe Christmas has been and gone, it's my favourite day and it's a shame it's only once a year. For this post I'm just going to show you what I got for Christmas. Enjoy!!!

These next ones were my main presents which were my favourite.

This soap and glory set is so good and I will be writing a post about it in January.

I love this Liz Earle product it is pink pepper and mint. I can already tell the difference of what it has done to my skin.

This Clinique chubby stick is so moisturising on the lips.

Christmas essentials

Merry blogmas!!!

Today I thought I would do my Christmas essentials, I always love to see these posts because I like to know what everybody loves during the Christmas time of year.

Enjoy!!!

The first thing on my list is probably the most important to me and that is lounge trousers. These ones are from Marks and Spencer's if you're wondering and they cost £12. They are so soft and are great to just lounge around in. I love the design on this as I love the reindeer and Christmas trees because they look so cute. During Christmas time I have a huge love for the colour red, I think this is down to robins as you only see them in winter.

Another thing on my essentials is wooly ear muffs, the even better thing about these ones in particular is that you can play music from them through Bluetooth. I got these last year for Christmas and when it was cold these were great and kept my ears warm.

A mini hot water bottle is a massive essential as when it's a cold night you can snuggle up to it and it will keep you nice and warm. Again I got this for Christmas so I don't know where this was from or how much it cost. I really love the fluffy cover and I think it looks really cute. This would also make a great gift for a friend who always says I'm cold.

I have already commented on how much I love red in Christmas so of course I am in love at the moment with my rim meld Kate moss lipstick in 107. It is such a pretty red and it leaves your lips moisturised after use and it tastes and smells good. A lot of people praise this product and rightfully so because it is just an amazing product.

What are your Christmas essentials?

Drugstore winter makeup

Merry Blogmas!!!

Since this is my first year blogging I thought I would do a merry blogmas and I'm going to post everyday until 25th December. Christmas is my favourite time of year and this makeup look is so pretty and Christmassy. For my Christmas look I have decided to do it drugstore so everything in this look is affirdable and you can get it all from super drug or boots. Enjoy!!!

To start off this look I do a simple base with the Rimmel wake me up concealer and foundation which has great coverage. To apply this I use the real techniques expert face brush which I love. On top of the base I use the natural collection powder so my makeup won't move during the day, I especially have to put it over my t-zone and my chin as they can get very oily. To put the powder on I use the real techniques blush brush although I know powder is not blush. 

I then apply the maybeline master sculpt with my real techniques contour brush and I apply this in the hollow of my cheeks and anywhere the  sun would hit in natural light. I then add my soap and glory blush to the apples of my cheeks because it looks pretty. This blush is beautiful as it has a little bit of shimmer on it and a subtle pink colour.

Once the whole face is done I move on to the eyes and I have been using the 17 eyeshadow. First I use the real techniques eye base brush and I use the lightest colour eyeshadow and place it all over my eye. This colour is beautiful as it has a little shimmer and looks pretty. Next I use the darker colour and place it in the crease of my eye to give the smokey eye effect.

Once those two steps have been done I take the maybeline liquid eyeliner and put it over the top of my eyelid and do a little flick. The final step for the eyes is mascara from natural collection it is not the best mascar but it was the only drugstore mascara I have.

Finally my favourite part of the whole look is the lips. I have been using the Rimmel Kate moss lipstick in 107 I find this red is just Christmas it looks so pretty. Also for some reason it reminds me of robins.

Autumn essentials

I decided to do a post on my Autumn essentials, I have seen so many other bloggers do this post and I decided I would to. The nights are getting colder and darker and is the time to snuggle under a blanket and watch tv. Enjoy!!

My Autumn essentials:

•blanket

•No7 cleansing lotion

•teddy warm up beanbag

•dark berry lipstick

•dark vampy nail polish

•cosy socks

•ted baker body spray (polly)

One of my favourite essentials for Autumn is the dark berry colours for the lip stick and nail polish this is because they are very vampy colours. The vampy theme doesn't really suite my personality but they do look great on. In my opinion anyone could suit a berry lip it just depends if you have the confidence to wear it as when I first wore it I felt very self conscious about it but now I don't care what people think. Also the berry nail polish colour suits my skin tone so well and goes with all my clothes. So these are a big love of mine!!

Another thing which is a huge must have is a big blanket this is because night time comes earlier in England so it gets darker and I always want a big blanket to snuggle up to when I'm cold and when it is dark outside. Cosy socks is a big must as in Autumn my feet always get really cold and there is wool inside these socks so they keep my feet nice and toasty.

I have already posted about this ted baker spray so I won't bore you with a massive paragraph but this is also my go to in Autumn as it had such a great smell. I'm not very good at describing smells so I won't bother but it smells so good.

During Autumn my face can become very dry and last year I was trying find something which would help my skin and I did which was the No7 cleansing cream. To be fare I am not a huge fan of the smell of this product it's not overpowering, it is just a weak smell. When I bought this product I wasn't aware that it removes makeup but it does and is really easy to use and compliments my skin so far this Autumn my skin has been so smooth and I really recommend this.

One more essential is my teddy heat bean bag this is great for when you are cold at night and you want something soft to cuddle with which is warm. This will last for a good hour and after that the heat will start to go.

What are your Autumn essentials?

What's in my bag

For this blog post I thought I would do something a bit different to my other posts so I decided to do a what's in my post. For this I have decided to use my ted baker bag in a pink coral colour. I love this bag because I think it is so pretty with the little bow and it has plenty of room for all the stuff I need to put in my bag.

In my bag I always carry around a hand sanitizer as you never know when your going to need it. I will always have one for my school bag as might accidentally put your hand under the table and at school there is a lot of gum. For my hand gel I got it in the scent floral and fruity because it smells fresh and also I got it because I love the colour of the pink.

This notebook is cute I got it for my birthday last month and I think it is so good because it is the perfect size to fit in your bag. The pattern is so cute with the black background and then the flowers are really pretty.

Another thing I love about this notebook is that I love the writing 'take note' because it is in rose gold and at the moment I am addicted to copper and rose gold.

At the front of the notebook it says 'once upon a time' and it is so cute because at the back of the notebook it says 'happily ever after' and I love it.

Since it's Autumn in all my bags I have a berry colour lipstick as this is part of my Autumn look (will post next week), I used to be too nervous to do a dark lip but now I don't mind it as its my normal look at the moment. The one I have been using at the moment is the topshop one in wicked as it is such a beautiful colour and the pigment is amazing.

Finally of course in my bag I have this cute purse which I love as the patterns are great. The colours on the purse are great as it stands out from the white background.
