The last post of 2014!

Hello lovelies and welcome to the last post of 2014!

Even though I'm sure we all say it every year, I just can't believe how fast this year has gone!

For me this year has been really good, and even though I'm a happy person anyway I feel like this year I have been my happiest which I hope will continue throughout 2015!

So here is what I've learnt throughout the year:

How to not care about what other people think of me and to just do what's going to make me happy.

To be more honest whether its telling someone what they've done to upset you rather then the usual 'no I'm fine' or telling someone that they haven't blended their make up in properly to stop them going the rest of the day with a line on their face.

How to leave the house without wearing make up and still feel confident - ever since I started putting foundation on I've never been able to just go to school or college without it on because it covers so many imperfection's but we've got to learn that looks don't define us as a person and if someone judges you by the way your natural self looks rather than your personality then they're not worth having in your life!

Learning that if people really want to be in your life then they'll make effort with you. It's a two way street, people can't expect you to make all the effort and you can't expect others to make all the effort. 

That life is too short to be doing things which make you unhappy!

My new years resolutions:

To stop worrying about the future and to just live for now

To stop worrying about things which I can't control - yes I'm a huge worrier!

To eat healthier - yes this will be on a lot of peoples resolutions but my diet is shocking and feel that if I eat healthier then I will feel better in myself.

To go to University!

and finally, to stay happy!

I hope you all have a great night and I will see you in 2015!

Happy New Year!

My love for fake tan VS my hate for fake tan...

Hello all!

It's the day before New Years Eve and I'm sure that a lot of you will be going out to parties or seeing family or loved ones and are probably preparing yourself for the night. You know painting nails, shaving legs and possibly fake tanning! 

I am a big lover of fake tan especially in the summer as my skin still stays as white as snow but tonight while applying it in preparation for tomorrow I was thinking about all the faff we girls (and boys) have to go through just for a bit of colour. So here are my loves and hates!

The fake tan I am using at the moment is St Tropez mouse in dark (I thought I'd treat myself when it was on offer!) but otherwise I usually use St.Moriz mouse in dark which is like a fake St.Tropez!

Lets start off with the hates:

1. My biggest hate is applying it, it just seems to take forever!
2. Trying to make sure its even, I'm sure we spend about half an hour alone just inspecting our body!
3. Bending over in the strangest positions just to try and reach your back or difficult places, we could pull muscles!
4. The sticky feeling of it before you wash it off, ewww
5. When it rubs off on clean white bed covers which you have just put on and are going to have to change again, arggghhhh
6. How it looks on your hands, my fingers personally look like a bag of wotsits.
7. Scrubbing at your body until all your pores are bleeding but it won't come off!
8. If your like me then, not being able to put it on your face because you fear it will cause more spots - but then look like you've been in the sun with a towel over your face when you don't have make up on because you don't match!
9. Accidentally splashing water on your fresh tan then looking like a leopard
10. You might look nice and brown in real life but in pictures you can look like some sort of oompa loompa

Now with the loves:

1. I've been pale all my life and being out in the sun with factor 50 still makes me burn, so it's just so nice to be brown, woooo
2. You can experiment more with make up - I find a lot more shades suit me when I'm tanned rather than when I'm pale
3. the smell! some people hate it but I love it
4. It's so much safer than the sunbed or being out in the sun and you get a much better colour
5. It makes you feel 10x skinnier. why? I don't know but it just does.
6. If your like me and prepare your body for weeks so that it doesn't go streaky then your skin should be nice and silky and soft from all the moisturiser

Well I suppose there's more hates rather than loves but I doubt I'll be able to stop using it! All that's left to prepare now is my nails!

What are your loves and/or hates of fake tan?

♥

OOTD!

Even when I get busy and don't post for a while it doesn't mean that I forget about my blog and while looking through my pictures I found these which were meant for an outfit of the day post! Unfortunately I can't remember which day it was when I took these photo's I think me and Ben might have been going for a Harvester again but I also wore this dress on Christmas day and think that right now is the perfect season to wear it!

Foundation: Loreal True Match - W4

Concealer: Maybelline Fit Me! - 10

Brows: Illamasqua Eye Brow Cake - Thunder

Eyes: Bourjois Liner Feature - Noir, Maybelline Master Smokey shadow pencil - smokey black, Avon Super Enchant mascara

Cheeks: Benefit Hoola, Sleek Pixie Pink blush

Lips: Loreal Colour Riche - 461

 Dress: Select

My week in photos! | (21.12.14 - 28.12.14)

Wooops! I lost the track of days I completely forgot it was Sunday already!
I hope you all had an amazing Christmas!

01: My kitty TJ looking all cute..

02: Me, my mum and nannan all went for a carvery on Monday to prepare us for Christmas Day and it was so good!

03: Kitty selfie of my Aunties cat! Yes I am a crazy cat lady...

04: Wooooo Christmas nails! I work with food so aren't usually allowed nails at all but because I booked the week off for Christmas (woooo) I thought I'd give my nails a treat!

05: Me and Ben went for a nice meal at Zizzi's and we like it so much! I'm a huge pasta lover and the pasta which they do is out of this world!

06: Usually I'm a big Starbucks fan but I really wanted to try the Costa Hot Chocolate with brownie or something while it was still Christmas and that's what I did!

07: While waiting for Ben to wrap my Christmas pressies I had the best set up with my hot chocolate, millies cookies (2 white choc and 2 double choc), and watching the Victoria's Secret fashion show, hehe

08: On Christmas Eve I was cooking and baking like a mad woman! Me and my dad made a fruit trifle, I made a milk and white chocolate cheesecake and I also made this spiced butternut squash soup which was amazing! We had it as a starter on Christmas Day.

09: My dad's Christmas dinners are amazing!!

10: How much more festive can you get with the Christmas tree, rose wine, lindt chocolate and comfy pjs!

11: I took this lovely bath with the Father Christmas bath bomb from lush and was so good that it turned the bath green and not red! I wasn't expecting that!

12: It managed to snow so much where we live that we had to walk from our house to the hospital to see my nannan! (don't worry she's okay!) we did catch the bus for some of the way but it took us a good hour and a half to two hours we were so tired! My legs are also killing me today I knew I should have done some stretches before we set off! 

13: ooooo a quick selfie before going to Amber's for her mums birthday!

How has your Christmas Week been?

Has it snowed near you?

The Christmas Tag!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Seeing as though today is the big day I thought that I would upload my Christmas tag because when else is the perfect day!

I spotted these on makeupsavvy which I will link so lets get cracking (haha)...

1. What is your favourite Christmas Movie/s?

I think this will be obvious for many people but I love 'The Holiday' so much! It's just one of them feel good films but it would make me so much happier if they made a second one so we could all see how things turned out... 

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

Christmas morning! Even if it's 00:30 we're not allowed to open them until about 9 when everyone's up and ready!

3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?

I wouldn't say a favourite I just love how happy and jolly everyone is every year and how much effort everyone puts in so you have a good day, it makes me so grateful! 

4. Favourite festive food?

Without a shadow of a doubt its pigs in blankets! We all love them in my house so we've got to make loads and still end up fighting for the last one.

5. Favourite Christmas gift?

I literally have no idea! My parents always get us the best presents each year and make sure it's something we really want so they're all my favourite!

6. Favourite Christmas scent?

At Christmas I either like something really sweet or something with a bit of spice to make the room feel really festive.

7. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?

I usually end up baking something for Christmas Day. This year I made a spiced butternut squash soup for our starter and then a fruit trifle and a white and milk chocolate cheesecake mmmmm
8. What tops your tree?

When we were little it always used to be an angel but for the last 10 years or something like that we've used a star.9. As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received? 
Another question I don't actually know! However I think I just asked for normal girl things and don't think I was wild enough to ask for something like a pet elephant!
10. What's the best part about Christmas for you?
I just love the time of year where everything's festive and they bring out a festive edition to everything from hot chocolates to bath bombs! It makes me so jolly and love that people are doing more for others! Also I love that I can eat anything and everything I want because its Christmas!

I hope you all are having or have had an amazing Christmas!

My week in photos! | (14.12.14 - 21.12.14)

Another Sunday and another week in photos!

It's been another busy week preparing for Christmas and getting the last little bits sorted!

01: Yayy I finally tried Belvoir Raspberry lemonade! Its a bit sweet but tastes nice with lots of ice. Me, Ben and my sister Sarah all enjoyed a game of Monopoly and I won! wooooo!

02: Me and the girls from college decided to have a Macmillan Coffee morning for one our units on our course. We all made buns and I made these cute cupcakes and a lemon drizzle cake and all the money we made went to a good cause!

03: I got a new car! My dad got a new car so we all had a little swap, I got my dad's previous car so I've upgraded to a lovely Seat! I would just like to mention that I pay for everything myself and its not easy!

04: Hehe I used a Babybel as a red nose to act like Rudolf... I was definitely in the Christmas spirit that day...

05: Oh yes its a McDonald's breakfast... Bacon and cheese bagel is the one!

06: ooooo my kitty enjoying a little pamper!

07: How cute that my friend just randomly popped up with these cute gingerbread biscuits! They were lovely!

08: OH WOW this bath was amazing!

09: Me and Ben got Chinese but we didn't get any actual dish's, just chicken and egg fried rice, curry sauce and spring rolls mmmmm

10: It's the time of year to eat loads of chocolate and that is what I'll do...

11: The perfect Christmas film to wrap presents to!

12: Yayyy all the Christmas presents are finally wrapped and it took me days! not hours, days!

13: Another cheeky Starbucks with Ben, we have our usual's now... he has caramel macchiato and I have caramel hot chocolate with cream. both large because you know why not?!

I hope your all fully prepared for Christmas as this is the last week in photos before the big day!

Christmas Gift Guide!

Okay, so I'm aware that its only 9 days till Christmas and if your more organised then me then you will have got all your Christmas shopping done but people like my mum keep asking me what I want for the big day and for the first year I actually don't know!

Making this post has taken me days as I really don't mind what I get and I will honestly be happy with anything!

However I have made this Christmas Gift guide if your still stuck on what to buy for your girly friends or family or for myself!

P.S I have also been a good little blogger and linked all the items that I could to make Christmas Shopping that bit easier!

01. Zoeva Rose Gold Eye make up brushes/£55 - Every Girl needs a good eye brush set and these are super pretty!

02. Topshop long sleeved top/£16 - This looks like it hangs really nice and will be perfect for the winter! I also love the colour!

03. ASOS large face watch £20 - I love how big the face is of this watch but I'm one of those that doesn't need an expensive one as I rarely wear watches...

04. Victoria Secret Sprays - There's no English link for these but they always smell so good and the smell lasts for ages!

05. Dressing Gown/£30 - I am in desperate need of a new dressing gown like many people at Christmas Time! I love the colour and prefer dark dressing gowns but this is quite over priced and are just as good at Primark!

06. Lindt Truffles/£4.50 - We always need chocolate at Christmas and Lindt Truffles are my favourite! I've never tried these but they sound so nice!

07. NARS Virtual Domination Palette/£45 -This was mentioned in a previous post but I love the colours and it would be a staple in every girls make up collection...

08. Lush Merry Christmas Gift Set/£19.95 - Everyone loves a good bath in the winter and this one has 5 bath bombs! I love the Christmas range but Lush is always wayy too packed for me to find what I want!

09. Lush Rudolf Gift Set/£19.50 - I looked at this yesterday and now I can't seem to find the link however they might still do it in store!

10. Marc Jacobs Earrings/£40 - I love Marc Jacobs earrings these ones which were also featured in a previous wish list are so lovely but they're all sold out *cries* however I've linked another Marc Jacobs pair which are super cute!

11. Yankee Candle Christmas Cookie/£19.99 - Again I've already mentioned this but it smells incredible! I've already had and used a small sample size and don't know why I still haven't got the full size yet!

12. New Look Boots/£22 - These boots are reduced (wooooo) they look so warm and comfy and could go with any outfit

13. New Look T-shirt/£12.99 - I don't know why but something kept drawing me back to this simple T-shirt. It would be lovely for casual everyday wear.

14. The North Face Jacket/£190 - I know these aren't the most flattering but they look like they're going to keep you so warm which we need in the winter! It will also last years and years so probably is worth the investment!

15. New Look Hair Clips/£3.99 - I saw my friend wearing a hair clip and it just looked so classy! My favourite out of this set is the red one!

16. New Look PJ bottoms/£11.99 - WOW if you love tartan print like me then you'll love these! They look so comfy and perfect for bed...

17. Small UGG Boots/£130 - You either love em or hate em but I've personally never owned a pair of real UGGs and when I saw these mini ones I thought they were SO cute. They'll keep your feet nice and warm aswell!

I hope this gives some of you who are still looking for gifts some ideas!

Have you done all your Christmas Shopping yet?

My Week in Photos! | 25/11/14 - 05/12/14

Hola Strangers!

So your probably thinking where on earth have I been these past 2 weeks? don't worry I'm still here but it has been the busiest couple of weeks for a very long time (I even went to London! You can find those pictures here) and even though I've had lots of ideas in my head and lots of pictures to talk about, I just haven't had the time to sit down and blog! 

To be honest its felt like I haven't blogged for about a month but I've still been taking pictures for my week in photos and while putting them altogether I realised these pictures are from only last week! So this post is more like a belated week in photos and I still have my week in photos from this week coming on Sunday...

LETS BEGIN!

01: I've been searching for a new bag and for ages I wanted this Longchamp Le Pliage Shopper so I thought I'd finally treat myself and buy it. hehe
02: Oh no I could feel a cold coming on and didn't want one for London so paid nearly £8 for this and it didn't work as good as I thought. at least I'll know for next time!
03: oooo Selfie hehe
04: For Bens Birthday we went to TGI Fridays and they had these little elf cut outs and they were so cute...

05: Our meal at TGI Fridays: we shared the chicken nachos and we each had the Monster burger

06: Cheeky Whistles purchase from London hehe

07: Yayyyy its the first day of advent which only means I can stuff my face and not feel guilty because its that time of year! wooooo!

08: My bestie Amber and her cute little bengal kitty going on a walk

09: Preparing for my university interview in starbucks with a caramel hot chocolate and Christmas club sandwich which I have to say is the best thing ever!

10:Freezing to death and no one would answer their phone while on my break at work leading to more selfies...

11: The beds at the Premier Inn in London were amazing it was the best night sleep I had in ages but I love it when companies reply to your tweets!

12: OH YES extra large meat feast pizza with stuffed crust mmmmmmmm

Wishlist Wednesday! | University Essentials...

As you might have seen in one of my week in photo's, I have applied for university for next year! So scary! I'm not going to say anything more until it's all set in stone next year but I'm so excited! As I know I'm not the only one I decided to make this little wishlist of things which I want to help prepare me for it...

01: Marc by Marc Jacobs Adults Suck Laptop Case/shopbop.com/£40.81 - I don't know whether I would take my laptop to university or not, I suppose it depends if I need to but either way I personally think this Marc Jacobs laptop case is just lovely. It's different to the usual plain case and it will give my laptop good protection. I'm a bit worried that it'll get dirty but they also do a bright pink and a bright purple which might not show dirt as much. 

02: Cath Kidston A5 Notebook/John Lewis/£8 - Well this is going to be an essential, obviously, we'll need to take notes and I love the pattern on this. There is also nice flower detail on the inside pages aswell so it'll cheer you up as your writing.

03: Marc Jacobs Large Baker Watch/Watchshop/£148 - I heard there's no clocks in seminars or lectures and you're not supposed to have your phone so I'm going to have to invest in a nice watch. There's so many nice ones at the moment I can't decide but I like this one due to the colours and to me it looks quite classy. However I think I'd rather buy a watch from a shop so I can try it on and see what it looks like on first.

04: Flower Bouquet PIYO diary/themagicnotebook.com/£17.50 - I only discovered this website a few months ago but they see notebooks, journals, diary's and that sort of thing and they are all so pretty! This ones filled with cats! and they're decorated so pretty on the inside. You can get all sorts of different designs and decide what you want to use it for but this ones a diary which lasts for 2 whole years! so even though it may be expensive it'll be worth it and it will be perfect for getting organised.

05: Mulberry A5 Notebook/Mulberry/£30 - I know I've already spoke about a notebook but I'm guessing I'm gonna need a few. This one featured on my luxury wishlist here, but if your a fan of the designer then it'll make you feel so special every time you write in it. 

06: Cat Highlighters/Paperchase/£3 - I'm sure there'll be things to highlight?! and these kitty highlighter are the cutest things ever! I need them!

07: Cath Kidston Patchwork Pencil Case/John Lewis Online Exclusive/£8 - I haven't had a pencil case in years and maybe I don't really need one but this one is super pretty and I love the print!

08: Longchamp Le Pliage Large Shopper/Selfridges/£68 - Well of course I'm going to need a large bag to carry all this stuff and I love this one so much its so casual yet so lovely and I've already bought it...wooopsie! I have wanted for ages and it also featured on my luxury wishlist here, and I'm pretty sure its going to last me a long time aswell.

I always enjoy wishlists and reading them so I might try and keep this 'Wishlist Wednesday' going! I think I've got everything I can think of for university in this wishlist apart from a pen of course, but I only really like the old school black ball point pen. However I did look on Selfridges and found a pen for £875!! WHY?! 

Is there anything I've missed which you think is essential?

My week in photos! | 17/11/14 - 23/11/14

Happy Sunday everybody!

And we all know what Sunday's mean... My week in photos!

I actually really like doing these they make me see everything that I've done in the week even if I've not been up to much but they'll be nice to look at in the future!

01: Awww this Gingerbread reindeer was so cute I just had to get a picci!

02: After a long and cold day of wearing jeans I was so happy to get into my favourite VS Pink joggers and thick Disney Tigger socks to chill out in! The big blob inbetween my legs is actually my cat trying to fit in the selfie... 

03: I just had to put in this picture of.. I don't actually know - oooops! - is it a naked mole rat? but everytime I look at it it just makes me laugh haha!

04: Me and Amber was in a Christmassy mood on Thursday so I gave her these options of film choice to choose from and we went with Love Actually. Classic!

05: Leopard print onesie selfie! Why not?!

06: oooooo I just had to try out the new Starbucks festive Hot Chocolate with Honey & Almond which does taste very festive and was nice but the almond was a bit overpowering. maybe I'll tell them not to put much in next time! Who doesn't love the red Christmas Starbucks cups though...

07: Me and Ben went to see the new Hunger Games film and it was SO good! Nachos with 2 cheesy dips, tomato sauce and mustard on is just the best. Even though as always we ate them all before the movie actually started...

08: Look how pretty the sky was tonight! You know what they say 'red sky at night, shepherds delight'!

Hope you all had a good week!

Christmas home accessories!

Because it's nearly Christmas and you can't hide away from it anymore because we all know it's only 6 weeks away. Eeeeek! I'm guessing you'll know how much I love Christmas if your a regular reader so I thought I'd start off some Christmassy posts. And this ones on home accessories! I don't live on my own so don't have all the pressure of buying Christmassy items for the home but iv seen so many cute Christmassy home stuff this year that I might buy a few of these... So if you live on your own or not you might like these accessories in the home or even to decorate your bedroom nice and festive! 

01. Matalan/Red Heart Bedding/£20-£35 - I saw this bedding when I went with my mum and it just looks so cute and festive. It's also quite subtle with the Christmas theme so if you wanted you could use this bedding all the way throughout the year! It's fairly thick so will definitely keep you warm during these colder months and it just feels so soft!

02. Matalan/Tree Decorations/£2-£6 - Matalan have done really good this year and they have such a good range of Christmas tree decorations. They're all so cute I definitely recommend you go and check them out! And I'm sure they're 3 for 2 or something! These are all my favourite and they will stand out on any Christmas tree. 

03. Matalan/ Christmas Pudding Teapot £12/Santa Mug £4/Christmas Gravy Boat £6 - I put all these items together because they're all for the kitchen and I would probably be writing the same for them! I think each of them are all so cute and will make Christmas day and Christmas parties at home more cute and festive. The gravy boat will be great for Christmas Day and come on if you don't use a Christmas pudding teapot at Christmas then when else is the perfect time? Also the Santa Mug looks like it will hold a good sized hot chocolate!

04. Matalan/Cookie Cutters/£4 - These aren't exactly home accessories but you can make cute little Christmas cookies for everyone with them! 

05. Yankee Candle/Large Jar/£19.99 - When it's colder outside it's time to bring out the candles and you'll have heard me rave about Christmas cookie a lot but the other two Yankee candles that I really love at this time of year are Christmas Eve which smells a little spicy but not too much and Snow in Love which smells like a fresh snowy day.

06. Debenhams/Christmas Fabric Tree/£28 - This fabric patchwork little Christmas Ball Tree is such a cute alternative to an actual Christmas Tree and its so unique so everyone will notice it!

07. Next/Felt Christmas Bunting/£10 - I really do love this Christmas Bunting its felt rather than the usual cardboard buntings so I feel like it will make the home a bit cosier and cuter. It will also last for years and years. 

08. Matalan/Christmas Nutcracker Countdown/£20 - This Christmas nutcracker countdown is one of my favourites it will go anywhere in the house. He's also so cute! It also comes in a silver colour but I thought this green and red one looked a bit more festive. 

What do you think to these Christmassy home accessories? I think Matalan have done such a good job this year and their products are always affordable.

Origins Mask Marvels...

Aloha! 

I know its Sunday night and your probably expecting a 'week in photos' but if I'm honest I really didn't do much exciting things except from being very productive with assignments and applying for University, hence the lack of blog posts this week but I'm on top of things now so you can look forward to my 'week in photos' next Sunday! 

On Wednesday I thought I'd make a little trip to boots with intentions of buying 1 thing and coming straight back out seeing as though I already had a little splurge in Superdrug last week... However who can go into Boots and buy just one thing?! I tried, I tried so hard but Boots is like heaven for me and I just got excited about all the Christmas gift sets which have come out and couldn't resist buying a couple of things on offer. 

One of the items which I bought was a Christmas present for someone so I can't talk about it but the other product was this Origins Mask Marvels set which I think is a Christmas gift set but I went and bought it for myself. You know just to make me feel better. It should have been £50 but on Wednesday I got it for £23! BARGIN! I think the offer ran out on Thursday (sorry guys) but I didn't want to write this post until I tried them all at least once! 

So its a set of 3 face masks which includes a 75ml of Out of Trouble 10 minute mask to rescue problem skin, Clear Improvement Active charcoal mask to clear pores, and Drink Up Intensive Overnight mask to quench skin’s thirst. If you've read some of my previous posts you'll be aware that I really wanted to try out the Drink Up Overnight Mask which is usually £23 for a 100ml! I thought it would be nice to try out the other masks aswell because they're all suited towards people with problematic skin which I suffer with.

This isn't a full review of the products as I've only used them once or twice and won't be very accurate so if I like a certain mask you'll be sure to hear it soon in a full product review! 

As I'm writing this post I currently have on the Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask which I used on Wednesday night and smells very fruity which I quite like. It makes my skin very soft the next day and it makes my skin lovely to apply make up onto. I used the Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask yesterday which was the first time I used it and don't know whether I like it just yet because yesterday I didn't feel like it did much. It was a nice face mask to have on but I'm not sure it cleared my pores as much as I wanted it to but we'll see on that one... I tried the Out of Trouble 10 minute mask on Wednesday and I really liked it! It was difficult to layer on but maybe its not supposed to be layered on as what I thought and it made my skin feel really nice and clean and clear afterwards!  

Have you tried any of these face masks? Which is your favourite or which is the one you really want to try out?

Product Empty! | GORGEOUS by Gok - rich moisturising body butter

Everyone knows that when the weather gets colder we need to take better care of our skin...easier said then done! but iv been trying to moisturise more often and seem to be grabbing this product a whole lot more.

A couple of years ago for Christmas me and my sister got this big Gok Wan set full of body products. I used all mine but when Sarah was going through her room she realised she still had some left and after inspecting them we realised they were still good to use. She kindly passed them onto me and I forgot how good they were!

I think they're made for the colder weather because its quite a thick moisturiser and smells divine! I can't describe how nice the smell is but to me it smells like glitter - so its good to wear for a party, but doesn't actually have any shimmer in it so it can be worn every day. I don't know whether it's just because I received this at Christmas but to me it just smells like Christmas. You will carry on smelling it until you wash it off so it lasts a really long time!

Iv completely ran out and don't think they sell this product anymore! If you happen to come across it then definitely give it a sniff!

My week in photos! | 03/11/14 - 09/11/14

This week iv been such a busy little bee rushing around trying to get everything done. All the little things creep up and fall on you at once! I'm quite enjoying doing these week in photos posts so as we end another week here are my photos! Warning: this post contains lots of food selfies... felfies!

01: Seeing as though Ben dropped his whole glass of fanta fruit twist in my bag, I thought id start using this little beauty again. Ben's lovely mummy Jayne kindly gave it to me a couple of years ago but iv always been too scared to use it properly until now and I LOVE it. 

02: I was just proper fancying a Terry's Chocolate Orange so ate the whole thing in one evening... I am definately a chocoholic.

03: You just can't eat beans and sausages on toast without it being covered in cheese.

04: This made me smile its like 3 fat ladies hehe

05: Me and Ben really wanted to try this and its actually really nice. Just the chocolate with cookie inside mmm. Also I ate this after the terrys chocolate orange and still ate it all wooo

06: Still debating whether to get these shoes or not. Im just worried they look the same colour as my skin and not look as good as I want.

07: Yes yes more chocolate! but a lovely customer at work bought me this huuggeee Galaxy bar and it made my day. There are some lovely people in this world!

08: a quick selfie on the way to Meadowhall with Ben.

Hope you've all had a good week!

Premium Beauty Wishlist...

Seeing as though iv been making lots of fashion wishlists lately I thought I would make a Premium Beauty Wishlist. Lots of gift sets have come out for Christmas but that means you can try out lots of products which have been packed together and not have to spend as much wooo! 

01: Origins Best of Both Worlds Gift Set/Boots/£40 - This set comes with High-Potency Night-A-MinsTM 50ml, Drink Up Intensive Mask 50ml, Ginzing Moisturiser 30ml, and GinZing Eye Cream 5ml. I'v really wanted to try the Drink up mask and the GinZing Eye Cream but didnt want to pay so much for one product which I don't know whether ill like yet but this set means that I can try them all out and then buy the ones I like. 
o2: Emma Hardie Amazing Face Cleansing Balm/Feel Unique/£36 - Iv heard many good things about this cleansing balm and want to try it so much because its supposed to be really good for dry skin which Im sure we all get in the winter. 
03: Nars Virtual Domination Cheek Palette/ Space NK/£45 - I think Nars did a palette similar to this last year but I think you get so much for the price! You get to try out a highlighter, 3 blushes and the famous Laguna bronzer and see if you like them all for the Price of about 2 Nars products. The packaging is so pretty as well it would make such a lovely Christmas gift.
04: Nars Limited Edition Eyeshadow duo in Dolmites/Space NK/£25 - Iv never tried out Nars eyeshadow but came across this little duo and the colours are SO pretty!! They would go perfectly together for when you want to dress up a little more. 
05: Philosophy Christmas Cookie Bath Cream/ Debenhams/£14 - When I went into Debenhams the other week I thought Id give the Christmas Collection of their bath creams a sniff seeing as though the originals are so nice. They all smell lovely but this is the one that stood out to me the most. It just makes me want to eat it!
06: Too Faced The Return Of Sexy Eye Shadow Palette/Boots/£38.50 - Firstly I love the design of this palette which brought me in but then I saw the colours and was blown away. Theres a mix of greys, purples and browns which all complement each other. My favourite section is the purpley section but this would be the perfect palette for doing smokey night time looks. 

Because these products are premium I think they would make lovely Christmas presents!

Beauty Haul!

If you saw my post yesterday then you will know I went shopping. I tried so hard not to buy anything and save money for London in a few weeks but as expected that didn't happen. so heres what I bought!

The first thing I did was go into this entertainment shop to try and find Michael Buble Christmas. They didn't have it. But came across loads of DVD's which were 3 for £5. bargin! I stopped buying DVD's years ago and wanted to spruce my collection up a bit for when there's nothing on TV so here we go. I'm aware that Bridget Jones 3 is coming out and even though iv seen bits of the first 2 movies iv never actually seen them all the way through. Same with Love Actually iv seen bits but not all the way through and thought it would be nice to watch over Christmas. Confessions of a Shopaholic and The Proposal are 2 of my fave films ever so why not. and finally Legally Blonde 2. Im disappointed because there was a massive sticker over the number 2 so thought it was the first film! This one will still serve me well but its just not as good as the first one! 

I was in desperate need of some more BB Cream so went to Superdrug to find Maybelline on offer 3 for 2! wont be running out of these for a while now...

For a few months now iv seen this product raved about on other beauty blogs and wanted to give it a go. This was on offer so there was no excuse not to try it!

Iv also been wanting a dark red lipstick for the colder months and heard this was one of Zoella's favourites so thought id try it out. Its the Kate Moss Rimmel 107

Iv been wanting to try Sleek out for a while after hearing many good things but Im more a Boots gal rather than Superdrug who stock it so as I was in I thought id give these blushes a go. The one on the left is called flushed and may too dark for my skin but if so I can always just use it as an eyeshadow. The one on the right is called Pixie Pink and is one of the nicest light pinks that iv ever seen.

Because it was 3 for 2 on all Sleek makeup also I thought Id buy a lip liner. Everyones trying to recreate the Kylie Jenner Lip but I just cant get my hands on MAC's Soar or Whirl and thought this colour (Lingerie) looked quite similar. Iv tried it and its a very nice colour although a little dark for the Kylie lip however I tried some of MAC's Myth lipstick over the top to lighten it and it makes the colour very similar to Kylie's. 

I feel like once I start buying make up I just can't stop! Anyone else have this problem?
