Day Out and Mini Haul

Hello everyone! Today me and my friend went into town so we could spend some of our Christmas money. I decided to show you what I got and include a few pictures from our walk home as they sky was beautiful this afternoon. Also, sorry for the lighting in the pictures, the sky was dark when I took these pictures so this was the only way I could take the pictures without a shadow. 

 From The Body Shop, I picked up the Frosted Pastels palette for my friend. I also picked up the Glazed Apple body butter because I am obsessed with this smell and it was only £6.50

 I have an addiction to phone cases, which is why I couldn't help but pick up this one from Claire's. I really like dreamcatchers and I think this will look so cute wiht my pink phone. 

 This is the third book in the Geek Girl series. I absolutely love this series and decided to pick up the third book as I really enjoy reading these. 

 FINALLY! I got a Hogwarts t-shirt. I have been wanting one of these ever since I saw them in New Look  but they never had them in my size. I found this one in the sale rack for only £8 and it was my size. I got so excited when I saw this and it's definitely going to be one of my most worn t-shirts. 

 Also from New Look I picked up a Kelly Brook nail polish. This doesn't have a name but the colour reminds me of Essie's Mint Candy Apple so I just had to pick this up. Over here, Essie nail polishes retail at around £8, so I definitely had to pick up a dupe for £2.99

 Then from Boots I picked up a dry shampoo because I had just ran out of one. Mine is in the scent fresh and it just smells clean. Then, something I've heard amazing things about which I thought I'd pick up was the Witch blemish stick. I've heard many good things about it, so I'm expecting it to be really good. And then I picked up the Baby Lips Electro in Oh! Orange! I really like the electro baby lips as I find them more moisturising than the original ones and I prefer their colours. I was expecting this to be quite orange but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it's a very natural, almost nude colour.

Excited For Christmas Tag!

Hello everyone! So as it is nearing Christmas now I thought I would do some kind of Christmas/Winter tag and I discovered this one earlier today. This is the Excited For Christmas tag by the beautiful blogger, Jasmine. So without any further ado, let's get started! :)


1. Are your Christmas decorations up? If not, when are you putting them up? 
I have already put up my Christmas decorations. I put them up this morning and now I'm feeling super festive :) 

2. What's at the top of your Christmas list?
There's nothing big I'm really asking for this year, I have mainly just asked for beauty items. The one beauty item that I do really want though, is the Benefit They're Real mascara. 

3. Do you have an advent calendar? 
Yes I do! Mine is from Thorntons and it has The Snowman and The Snowdog on it and it has been customised with my name on it. I actually recieved it as a birthday present. 

4. Have you brought all your Christmas presents or do you leave them all last minute to buy?
I'm going to be honest with you, I leave everything until the last minute, even present buying. I have only brought one small gift this year and that's because it was one of the last ones left and I wanted to get it before it had gone!

5. Favourite Christmas film(s)? 
This is actually a hard one for me as, shock horror, I don't really watch many Christmas films. However, the one I have watched every year without fail is The Muppets Christmas Carol. I have watched this every Christmas Eve since I was tiny and I love it. 

6. Have you tried the Costa Christmas range?
I have actually! I have tried their Belgian Hot Chocolate, the White Hot Chocolate and the Orange Hot Chocolate. The Orange Hot Chocolate is my absolute favourite!

7. Favourite Christmas scent?
I don't really have a favourite Christmas scent, but if I had to choose I would say Gingerbread or Peppermint. I know neither of those are really a Christmas scent but I love these scents for the Christmas season.

8. Do you wish for a White Christmas?
Yes! I have never had a white Christmas before but I would absolutely love one. I feel like if it snowed on Christmas day it would make Christmas even more magical than it already is. 

9. Typical Christmas meal?
My typical Christmas meal usually includes either turkey or chicken with some gravy, some potatoes and brussel sprouts (I absolutely love them?) and pigs in blankets. If you aren't awakre of what pigs in blankets are, it's small sausages wrapped up in bacon. I always have some kind of chocolate cake afterwards.

10. What tops your Christmas Tree?
The Christmas tree in my bedroom doesn't have anything on top because I can't find anything small enough, but the Christmas tree in the living room has a big gold glittery star!

11. Admit it: Do you own a cringey Christmas jumper?
I wouldn't say I have a cringey Christmas jumper. I have one from New Look which looks like a present, but I wouldn't say it's anything cringey. 

12. Do you have any traditions all throughout December before Christmas day?
No not really. Opening my advent calendar is the only thing really. That and listen to loads of Christmas music!

November Favourites!

So for November I haven't really discovered anything new that I have been loving. I only have 5 items to show you so let's get straight into it. 

My first favourite is this Korres lip butter in Pink. This tastes amazing, is super moisturising and is such a natural looking pink. I have just fallen in love with this and I would definitely recommend this to everyone. 

This is the Maybelliene Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze. There's not much I can say about this that you haven't already heard but this is such a pretty natural colour, it lasts forever and is perfect for Autumn/Winter. 

Again, a beauty classic. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Warm Medium 3. I love this concealer so much as it has amazing coverage without looking too cakey. Definitely going to be repurchasing this soon. 

I received this as a gift for my birthday and I'm so glad I have because this scent is so gorgeous and girly. It smells quite floraly and beautiful and I have been wearing this non stop since I got it. 

Oh my goodness. This scent is amazing. This is the Glazed Apple shower gel and it smells so good! This was only £4 from The Body Shop and I am obsessed. I want to shower multiple times a day because this smells so good. I'm not going to, but I could. 


Sorry this was short, I'm really tired and have a lot of other things I really need to do now. But I hope you enjoyed this and if you did make sure to follow my other social media:

What I Got For My Birthday 2014!

Hello! So as some of you may know, my birthday was last Saturday (8th) and I asked people on instagram whether they wanted to see what I got for my birthday and a lot of people said they did so here we go. Usual disclaimer, I'm not bragging at all, I just thought I'd show you what I got. So here we go :)

So the first thing is actually my pink iPhone 5c but unfortunately I don't have a picture of it because I use my phone to take the pictures. I am so so so grateful for this and I am so happy I got this, so thank you to my mum for that <3

So this is an overview of what my mum got me. 

So the first thing she got me was an Active Cosmetics makeup set. This has everything, lipsticks, lip liners, eyeshadows, nail polish and nail gems. The colours in the eyeshadows are so autumnal and pigmented it's unreal. The lipsticks are amazing too and they last so long. I haven't used any of the nail things yet but they're such beautiful colours and I'm really excited to use them. 

The next thing is this Nivea Lip Butter set. It has a normal lip butter, the raspberry one, a lip balm and then the pearl shine lip balm. I'm so excited to use these, especially now that it's winter time and I need to keep my lips hydrated. An other thing she got me is a set of three beauticology body butters. There are three really yummy scents, hot chocolate, gingerbread and marshmallow frosting. I'm so excited to use these because they smell so yummy. 

Then there is this really cute cup which has robins on it! It also has hard boiled sweets on the inside and they are so yummy. The next thing is this impulse body set in the fragrance True Love which is one of my favourite ever impulse scents. 

Then from my great aunt and my cousins, I got this L'Oreal straightening cream and an impulse body set with the Hot Pink shower gel and the Very Pink body spray. These smell absolutely amazing. 

Now moving onto what my friends got me. This is from my friend Maisie and this is the cutest mug in the world. It also has marshmallows inside the bag. It's so cute and I believe it's from Next. 

Then my friend Jenny bought me this bag and a mavala top coat nail polish and two nail polish art pens with gems and polish. I'm really excited to try out these as they look really good. 

My friend Ella bought me this DKNY Women perfume which smells really fruity and amazing. Then she also got me these boots nail polish remover wipes and a Barry M nail polish in the colour Fashion Icon. 

Here is a close up of the nail polish and this is so gorgeous and perfect for the holiday season coming up as it is extremely glittery and sparkly. 

From my friend Jess I got Meet The Vamps (which I have been wanting for ages!) and a box of Maltesers. <3

Then from my friend Emilie, she drew me this picture of Dan and Phil which is so cute. She is amazing at drawing. 

She also got me a Blue Nose plush toy. This one is Nelson the Narhwal and I love him so much. She also got me the lush Dragon's Egg Bath Ballistic which smells gorgeous. 

Then from my friend Summer she got me this Thorntons advent calendar and its The Snowman one and it has my name at the bottom which is really cute. Then she got me a phone case which I have not taken off my phone since I've got it. 

I don't know why this image is upside down haha but she also made me this card full of dil howlter from Dan and Phil's Sim series. She told me to include this so that's why I'm showing you, but this is amazing <3

Then from my friend Karla she got me three pairs of Christmas socks which are the cutest things ever. She also got me a little room decoration which says My Bestie Always and it's sp cute. It's similar to the colour of my room so I feel like it will look really nice in there. She also got me two yankee candles. 

The two candles she got me are Summer Scoop and Snowflake Cookie. I love these so much and can't wait to burn these all, especially the snowflake cookie as it's so christmassy. 

So that was everything I got for my birthday I hope you enjoyed reading about it.

October Favourites

I can't believe I'm writing my October Favourites today, it feels like it's only been October for a week! Anyway, here are the products that I've been enjoying over October. There aren't really that many because I didn't try new things as I was very happy with what I already had but there were a few gems I wanted to share. 

So the first thing is this hairspray by TRESemmé. This is the extra hold one and this does amazing things for my hair. My hair is quite frizzy especially at the top but this has been taming it and keepin it less frizzy than usual. 

This first thing that has moved into my skincare routine is the Garnier Micellar Water. This removes makeup so well and is an affordable price. 

This has been an absolute lifesaver for me. This is the Neutrogena Visibly Clear Spot Stress Control 3-in-1 Cleansing Lotion. This promises to cleanse your face, fight and prevent bacteria and reduce excess oil. This does all of that.  From the very first time I used it I noticed a huge difference in my skin. 

 

Recently, my elbows have been getting really dry and sore, so I started using his on them every night and oh my gosh they are so much softer now. This is just basic Aveeno cream and you could probably find this anywhere to be honest. Mine is a mini size so it's really easy to take out with me.

This is probably my favourite of all the products. This is the One Direction You & I perfume. This smells so girly, floraly and fruity, it's absolutely gorgeous. Even if you don't like One Direction, I would recommend giving this a sniff when you see it because it is absolutely gorgeous. 

This is a rediscovery of mine. This is the Baby Lips Electro in Pink Shock. This is a gorgeous bright pink lip colour that I am obsessed with. Also, I find the electro baby lips a lot more moisturising than the others. 

The last thing is this Lip Butter from the Body Shop in the flavour Blueberry. This tastes amazing, smells amazing and feels amazing. This has kept my lips so moisturised and I definitely want more flavours. 

Sorry the lighting was so bad, it was really dark outside and I don't know where my yellow fairy lights are. Hopefully my next pictures will have better quality. That's all for today, ily xx
