Christmas Eve GRWM

Merry Blogmas!!

I can't believe it is Christmas Eve already, this month has gone past so quick I can't believe it. For this post I am going to go through what I might wear for Christmas Eve. Enjoy!!!

First thing to this is the Coco Chanel lipgloss, as the outfit is practically all black I thought I would add a bit of colour with this pinky red lip gloss.

The shoes are my favourite I love them so much, they were purchased from topshop. They are so comfy to wear. I am in love!!! Next thing is this skirt and again it is from topshop. I love the detailing with the black and gray it looks so pretty. It is quite short so if you feel uncomfortable in short skirts I wouldn't recommend but I do wear tights with it.

I have worn this top a lot this week because it is so comfy. This is from new look and it looks so good. I love the sleeves because they are not long and they are also not too short.

What's your Christmas Eve outfit?

Dealing with a cold

Merry blogmas!!!

Dealing with a cold at Christmas honestly has to be the worst, with the sore throat, blocked nose and coughing fits. I thought I would share with you some of the things I do when I get a cold. Enjoy!!!

One thing which helps me is a warm black current squash, I didn't like the taste of it warm at first but I got use to it so I really love it now. Epparently it helps with your sinuses and opens them up what ever that means but it still seems to work well.

When you have a blocked nose you should try and use soft tissue because it doesn't hurt your nose as much. Another tip for your nose is at night time put Vaseline on your nose so when you wake up in the morning it will not hurt and it will feel soft.

Soothers are for your throat when it hurts, I love the black current flavour because I love the taste it is the best when you get to the middle and the liquid comes out.

These active health gummy things in my opinion are great for colds because it gives you a boost of energy. Colds are always really draining these are great.

What do you do to get rid of a cold?

This weeks Christmas favourites

Merry blogmas!!!

This weeks Christmas favourites is very different to any other favourites post I have done. Instead of having all the beauty products it's going to have necklaces, books and music. Enjoy!!!

The first thing which I have been loving is this piano piece which is 'not about Angels' by Birdie. I think this is such a great song to play on the piano and I don't know if it's just me but I think this song is quite Christmassy. It is about five pages long but so far I have only learnt the first couple of pages and it's going along really well.

I got this necklace last year at Christmas and this week I have just loved wearing it. I got this from my dads cousin as she makes her own jewellery, she makes these out of old spoons and jewels off old necklaces and bracelets and she scratches your name on it. I think this looks so pretty on and goes with practically every outfit.

Again a necklace is on my favourites, this one is a lot older as I got it at my christening. It's Winnie the Pooh and I think that it's so cute. The for around the kneck is quite short but it's nothing like a choker. This week again I have worn this everyday.

The Sophie Mckenzie books are really good and I can't put her books down this is because she always leaves a cliffhanger at the end of the chapter. I have mentioned one of her other books in an earlier post and that got me into her books. I still haven't finished the whole book yet and it's so good but I don't want to give any spoilers away.

Christmas stocking gifts under £15

Merry blogmas!!!

This post is for Christmas stocking fillers which are affordable under the price of £15. These would also make great gift ideas for your friends. Enjoy!!!

One thing is this soap and glory body wash set. There are four flavours which are all great and the smells are delicious. The quality of this product is amazing I love the body shop and it never lets me down. This item came to a price of £6 which is really good.

The next couple of items are the Tanya burr products each one of her products are amazing and they never disappoint. One of them is the lipgloss and this is in afternoon tea which is such a beautiful colour. The next thing is the peach palette in this there is a bronze, blush and highlight each of these are great and they each have a shimmer to them which is pretty. I love Tanya's knew design of the products all the colours are so pretty.

This on is a major must have for Christmas and this is the glazed Apple scent from the body shop. This is so lovely this set and you get body wash and body butter. To be honest this is probably my favourite scent from the body shop so I always look forward to getting this for Christmas the Christmas season.

The soap and glory hand cream set is beautiful, I always love the smell from soap and glory. My favourite on is the lime flavoured I just think it is different to anyother scent I have had before. These make my hands so soft and work a lot better than what I expected.

These body butters make your skin so soft I have loads of these mini sets since in boots it was 3 for 2 this came to the price of £8 which is reasonable. Again my favourite scent is probably the lime. I think this would make a great gift for a friend and I'm sure they would love it.

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?

Christmas wish list

Merry blogmas!!!

Happy 3rd of December guys. Today in this post I thought I would show you some of my beauty items I have put on my Christmas list in case any of you guys are stuck on what to put on your list for Christmas.

Enjoy!!!

One of the first things I put on my list was the urban decay palette's 1 and 2, I chose these because both of them look so pretty and seem to have easy to use colours. I decided not to put the naked 3 on as I don't really know what I would with them colours.

Another thing I put on my list was these two Mac lipsticks one in Brave and the other in Plumful. These two colours look so pretty and seem to be a quite subtle colour.

The next part of my list is all drugstore, one thing is the maybeline mascara and I've decided to get this as so many of my friends have recommended this to me.

Another thing is the collection contour kit, it seems really good and has great quality. I am also asking for the maybeline master sculpt as I have seen so many you tubers mentioning this and it get such a lot of praise. The other thing is the soap and glory 'well I'll be glammed' this looks like such a good set and I have the blush already from this set and it is so pretty so thought I would ask for this.

These zoeva brushes are so pretty and seem to be really good quality, I asked for these for my birthday but I didn't get them so I want them for Christmas. This Charlotte Tilbury set is georgeous it's very privet but it is Christmas so I thought I would add it anyway. This makeup is such great high quality and the lipstick from here is amazing. I love rose gold!!

The last thing on my list is this Liz Earle set because it has such great products and a big variety on loads of skin care. I have recently been watching Eve Benett on YouTube and she comments on Liz Earle a lot so I thought I would try it out. Also a lot of people comment on this saying each product is long lasting and smells great so I think I will love it.

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.
