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:
