Hello my lovelies, 
Another item I got for Christmas was this lovely Real Techniques Shading Brush. I absolutely love this. It is the perfect size for me as it helps give you more control over where you but the eye shadow especially if you just want it in the crease as the brush itself is quite small. It has the same look of all the Real Technique brushes which you will know I love! It is very thin and petite which is good if you only have little hands it helps you be less clumsy than with a big fat brush. 


I hope you're all having a fab week and enjoying your holidays!
Much love <3

Hello my lovelies,
I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and got everything you wished for! 
I was going to do a 'What I got for Christmas' post but everyone seems to be doing that so I thought I would share with you some items I got for Christmas that will interest you more than knowing how many pairs of socks I got. 
The first item I got for Christmas was this brush from Real Techniques. I love these brushes and now have a small collection of them. I think they're great value for money as they aren't too expensive but are an amazing brush. I love MAC brushes as well but these can be a little on the price side for me. I've needed a new powder brush for absolutely ages and when I found this in my stocking I was super chuffed. I think the best kinds of presents are ones you don't know you're getting but you need. 
The brush it self is fab it is absolutely humongous so makes applying powder really easy and in my opinion helps to give an even coverage. The white ends on the brushes are one of my favourite things about this product because I think it's smart, not only does it look good but it makes it super easy to tell when your brushes need a clean.


I hope you all had an amazing Christmas
Much love <3

Hello my lovelies,
As it is approaching Christmas and my laptop seems to be fully functional (yeyyy *parties by ones self*) I decided to do a post on some of my favourite Christmas songs/albums this year, some of them will be quite typical but others I think some of you will appreciate. So without further ado here is my Christmas playlist of 2013.

1. This is more of a typical one but I have been playing Michael Buble's Christmas album none stop this year! I love the songs he does with the Shania Twain (White Christmas) it's so different from other versions.
2. Christmas Lights- Coldplay. This is one of those songs that literally just makes me cry everytime I hear it. I don't know why it's not very sad but I think it's just because I love it so much.
3. Mariah Carey- This women can SING I love her voice and attempting to sing as well as her in my bath when no one is listening. I really do love her Christmas album.
4. Rue Royale- This is a band you might not of heard of but they remind me a bit of the XX it's a duo of a guy and a girl and they are so beautiful when they sing together. They have done a couple of Christmas songs specifically 'Deck The Halls' and 'Snow on Snow'. They are beautiful songs and are sung beautifully by these two. To find this EP go to sound cloud and search Rue Royale Christmas EP
5. Of course- 'Do they know it's Christmas' this is a classic but it still makes me want to dance whilst getting a really important message across to us. 
6. I wish it could be Christmas everyday- Wizard. I'm going to be honest the music video for this song is so so strange and weird it's almost scary... However the song itself is a really good Christmas song!

I hope this has given you a bit of Christmas music to boogie to this season. 
I would really appreciate you giving Rue Royale a listen I really enjoy their music here is their YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/rueroyaletheband there isn't many videos on it but if you check them out on sound cloud you will have a more successful search.
Anyway I hope you have a really good Christmas!
Much love <3

Hello my lovelies,
As it is winter I thought I would share with you what I love about this time of year.
Firstly I absolutely love drinking hot chocolate in winter, especially after I've gone for a long walk and my nose is all chilly and my feet and hands are numb it just spreads all its warmth through your body and its chocolate and how can you not love chocolate!
Secondly I love having long big bubbly baths. I spend an absolute fortune in lush in winter because all I want is a bath that smells of lovely scents and lush is definitely the place to be for that! This year I bought a melted snowman and I loved it except it broke my heart that I had to crumble him up under the running water but he smelt lovely so I guess that balances it out.
Another thing I love about winter is that it's the time of year where everyone makes a huge effort to go and see eachother whether it's friends you've known for years or family that live the otherside of the country! It's just the time where people start to have parties and meals and just general get togethers.
Finally the thing I love most about winter is Christmas. I love Christmas for many reasons and honestly take away all the presents I would still love Christmas! The food, the tree, decorating the house and being all together as a family, it is just the most wonderful time of the year.
I hope you all enjoy winter as much as I do and I hope you're all having a fab week!
Much love <3

Just A Little Chat With You Lovelies!

Hello my lovelies,
I am so excited for Christmas and I can hardly contain myself I just wanted to make this post to tell you about a band I have recently fallen in love with they're called Mavis and I will pop a link to their YouTube at the bottom so you can go check them out!
Also I was wondering if you like the Christmas version of my header? I'm really in the Christmas mood at the minute and I hope you're all just as excited!
Anyway I hope you've had a good day!
Much love <3

Hello my lovelies!
It's that time of year again and as you may well know I flipping love Christmas, so here are some of my essential things I must do around this wonderful time!

1. Have a cosy Christmas blanket. This is the perfect things for when it is cold outside and you are all snuggled up watching a very christmassy film! which leads me onto...

2. Buy Christmas films and watch them repeatedly! Some suggestions are:
Elf! The Grinch! The Night Before Christmas!

3. Buy quality hot chocolate and squirty cream and marshmallows! for the ultimate Christmas experience proper hot chocolate is an absolute must! There is nothing better to warm yourself with!

4. Make sure you have nice wrapping paper. It's no good having amazing presents if your wrapping isn't up to scratch. (I don't think this matters too much buts it's nice if it's wrapped all pretty) Paperchase always do great wrapping paper and Christmas cards!

5. A Christmas Onesy. I don't think I should explain it but I will, after Christmas day and all you want is to lounge in front of the TV a Christmas onesy is probably essential for this as that Christmas jumper is probably covered in more turkey than you would care to admit.

6. Listen to your Christmas music. It always makes me feel so happy when I listen to Christmas music I just want to dance around even though I actually can't dance (it's so embarrassing). Michael Buble is my fave!

7. Have a Christmas Party. This doesn't have to be a crazy party just invite a small group of the people you love and chill with them eat food and watch a christmas film and play games with them in your favourite Christmas wear.

8. Christmas is a time for family and friends so just enjoy being around the people you love and who love you. Try and leave behind all negative feelings for the season and just be jolly like Santa. Decorate your tree and put your family before friends don't miss out on putting up the tree or decorating the house because of your friends, spend time with the people who will always be there and love you!

I hope you all have a great time preparing for Christmas!
You all deserve to have an amazing time!
Much love <3

Hello my lovelies,
Todays post is my skin care routine, I have really sensitive skin so have to be super careful with what I use. I hope this helps some of you enjoy!
First thing in a morning I wash my face with warm water and dab dry with a towel this leaves my skin feeling a little bit fresher. (I take my make-up off at night with some make up removing wipes)
Secondly I will apply a decent amount of Simple's "Kind To Skin Purifying Cleansing Lotion" onto a cotton pad and rub it in.

 I find this really gentle on my skin and I really like how it is un-scented, this also comes with a toner and I used to use that aswell but it started to burn my skin!


After I have rubbed it all in I will put a cotton wool pad under the hot water tap and wipe my face with this again. (This isn't necessary I just find it works best for my skin) Again after this I will dab my skin dry with a towel.

To finish off my face I moisturise with No7's "Beautiful Skin" day cream for normal to dry skin as this helps cover me if I'm having a bad skin day. I leave this to sink in for 5-10 minutes depending on how much I've used and then do my makeup. 


I hope you're all having a great week. 
25 days until Christmas! 
Much love <3
