March Favourites.

After having a month off, due to personal issues I am now back and excited to get back into the swing of things!  So here are my March favourites to ease myself back into blogging!

Zoeva | Mixed Metals Palette

About 2 months ago or so now I received the Zoeva Mixed Metals Palette and completely fell in love with it! However, I wasn't instantly going to grab it and was grabbing my Anastasia Beverly Hills Palette which I'm completely obsessed with! So, about a week ago I came across this again and forgot how pretty all the colours are in this palette! Zoeva is so affordable as this only cost £15.50!

How I Plan My Blog

A lot of people may say blogging is easy, you just do it when you  get bored and sit down at your computer some days, think on the spot and write. Now, some people may do that, and there's nothing wrong with it! But, I like to plan out as I love planning and being organised as I stress out if I don't know what I'm going to write about.

Perrie Edwards Make Up Look.

I am a massive love of make up looks, and whenever I see a
Youtube video on one of my favourite celebrity looks, I instantly have to try it! I am a huge lover of Perrie Edwards from Little Mix, so here is a simple red lipped look for you guys, enjoy! ( I will list and link the make up I used for this look down below)

January Favourites

Finally! I'm back after a very strange January. But I'm starting my fresh start now and back into blogging, starting with my January Favourites.

Gerard Cosmetics | I received two of the Gerard Cosmetics Lipsticks for Christmas in the shades, Fire Engine and Dragon Berry and they have quickly became my favourite lip products! They are long lasting and also helps that the packaging is cute too! I mean who isn't a sucker for packaging!? I can't wait to buy some more as i've got my eye on a few!  I've left some swatches below!

What I Got For Christmas 2015.

So I've had a few weeks off now and I'm back to start the New Year off with What I Got For Christmas! I am SO grateful every gift I received this year, so here is what I got.


I got these gorgeous gifts of my best friend, Louise! She's honestly put so much thought into these and knows me far too well! I use this notebook she bought me for my blog notes, and use these lip products on a daily basis! Lastly, she made me this K. How cute is that!? I can't wait to put this on my desk when I get my own place, it's absolutely perfect!

 My boyfriend, Colin bought me Little Mix perfume which is my favourite go to scent at the moment and everything Zoella! We were on a budget this year as we are moving away so I literally told him "everything Zoella" really not thinking that he would actually get me almost everything from her range! He really didn't disappoint and I'm absolutely loving the rose gold make up bag!

My best friend, Emily bought me the Animal Kingdom colouring in book by Millie Marotta. I was so excited when I received this as I've said for months I was going to buy one to relax me. I've not put this down since I've got this, and I can't wait to buy more!

My Aunties & Uncles bought me a great selection of random gifts this year! I didn't take photos of them all as I have used most of them and got some at my boyfriend's place too, but I got the Friends boxset, perfume, money, champagne, a Sprinkle of Glitter diary, baking book and some home gifts for when I move.

Lastly, I received very thoughtful gifts of my Parents. I did get amazing gifts of them this year which I'm so grateful for! Down below are the main presents which I am so in love with. The Anastasia Beverly Hills contour palette in medium to tan is a palette I have wanted for so long and I can't believe they got this so right! Also I got two Gerard Cosmetics lipsticks in Fire Engine and Dragon Berry which I'll be doing make up looks with very soon! The mint cake mixer is for our new place and I can't wait to get using it and even do some baking blogs which will be interesting. Last but not least my camera! I've wanted a camera with a flip-up screen for a long time, especially one that is small enough for me to put in my handbag, who knows I might even do vlogs! These weren't all I received of them, I also got clothes, chocolates, Ted Baker make up, a hand painted cocktail glass and cute little stocking fillers.

The Best of 2015!

Where has this year gone? like seriously!? This has been the quickest year of my life so far, it really feels like I've blinked and it's the new year! 

This year has had many ups and downs, as does every year really. But I'm not getting into the life lessons and bad things as I've actually wrote a blog on that down below! So go check that out! 

I have had a pretty fantastic year, starting off in January seeing one of my favourite bands, Slipknot, to then meeting McBusted and having Tom Fletcher (from McFly) recognise you as you walk straight into the room, now that doesn't happen very often does it? I got to experience going to one of my boyfriends favourite bands, Papa Roach for the first time and it was crazy! Followed by my 21st Birthday which was a night I'll never forget (well the photos looked great, aha). My 21st truly showed me who is there for me and that I have one crazy bunch of people I call friends! Then, from friends having babies, going to see R5, Skerryvore Decade and 5SOS with old friends and A LOT of nights out too which if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have grown closer to people, who at the start of the year it would just be a quick 'hi' in the street! 

Every single person who made my 2015 a good one, thank you! I've had a fantastic time and I cannot wait to spend 2016 with you all! 

Chatty Sunday | Blogmas | Day Twenty

5 days before Christmas. Where has the time gone!? As soon as it hits the final 5 days before, I get right into the Christmas mood! So here's what I've achieved and still to look forward to before this year is over!

1. Our Christmas decorations are up. Only one thing that we can't do this year is put presents underneath our tree, why? because my dog Spencer now thinks it's okay to open people's presents as they think their his.. what a wee minx! 

2. My Christmas hours at work have started! *Cries* Thinking 6 am starts are bad? Try 4 am! Setting an alarm for 3 in the morning breaks my heart, whilst everyone is cosy in bed, or coming home from nights out I'm starting my day at work, only good thing is the early finish! Thank goodness!


3. Family time! I've had a lot of family time over the festive period. I've had lovely days in with my parents, chilling and watching Christmas movies, but also having family meals with my boyfriend and his family. It's great to go out with someone with a big family as for me it's just the 3 of us, but my boyfriend has 6 of them around a table which is a lot different to me! It brings us closer together and it's makes me very happy to be apart of his family! 

4. Nights out! I love this time of year as it's the time I can put on my fancy dresses, have a bottle of champagne with the girls and dance the night away! My work Christmas night out is the 23rd so i'm really looking forward to letting my hair down after the busy few weeks we've had! 

5. My friends who live away are home! Some of my best friends live away due to Uni, and I miss them a lot when they are away! We may not get to talk as much as I'd like, so I'm excited to have them back and have a catch up! 


There's not long left of this year but I have a lot to look forward to! I can't wait to have a lovely Christmas with my friends and family! What are you looking forward to?

Purple Smokey Eye | Blogmas | Day Eighteen & Nineteen.

First off, I've been bad and missed a blogmas, but i've been super busy and completely forgot to publish it! Rather annoyed! So, here is a purple smokey eye look I absolutely love and it's such a statement look, it's definitely a look I'm going to be doing more often!

Step 1. After I apply my foundation, bronzer, blush and pencil in my eyebrows I start off by applying my Urban Decay primer potion followed by using make up geek's Blacklight for the base eyeshadow.

Step 2. I then add Deep Purple from my Anastasia Beverly Hills Self-Made palette in the crease of my eye and blend until happy.

Step 3. Lastly I apply Metallic Plum also from the Self-Made palette, and apply that to the corners of my eyes blending in towards the middle of the lid to give it a smokey effect.

Step 4. Now for the bit I find tricky, fake eyelashes. They look so pretty but I find them difficult to stay on! But, I love these lengthening eyelashes from eylure they are very light and fluttery and don't look too noticeable so really complimented this look well.

Step 5. Mascara and eyeliner. I used Benefit They're Real Mascara on my top and bottom lashes, then Maybelline Matte Liquid Eyeliner to give my eyes a dramatic look and my Avon eye pencil on my water line to finish of the whole look.

Step 6. Finally, lipstick. I used Mac's Please Me, it's such a gorgeous subtle matte pink, all the attention is on my eyes and I don't want to be over dramatic with my lipstick as my eyes are the main attraction in this look.

And voila! My finished look! This is so easy to do, any purple shades would work great for this look. What other looks do you like? Who inspires you?

What I've Learnt About Myself This Year | Blogmas | Day Seventeen

I've been sitting on this idea for a while now, wondering if I should post this. I wasn't going to, but, I class my blog as my diary and a good way to look back on how far I've come!

This year in particular I've learnt an awful lot about myself, and well, life! Life can be difficult sometimes can't it? I'm now 21 and when I thought my teenage years would be the hardest, boy was I wrong! This is the time in your life you find out who your real friends are, who to trust and not to trust and to, well, start growing up! And I've done a lot of that this year! So, here's what I've learnt! 

Friends. I love my friends, a lot, but I started off the year with a lot more than I have now. This time last year I had a great group of friends, there was a good lot of us and I went from having a group who were inseparable , to about 3. That sucked. BIG time! Things changed, it was a simple as that. You grow older and realise who to trust and who not to, I must now only have about 4 good friends who I can trust with my life. These guys below mean the world to me, from my school friends to the friends I've became closer to this year. Thank you, you guys rock! (Not all my close friends are in these below as don't have up to date photos, but you guys mean just as much, you know who you are).

Not caring what people think of me. I used to care, a lot! I used to get upset and dwell on it for hours or even days, which thinking back was so stupid of me! The person that really changed my way of thinking, and not caring anymore, was my boyfriend. We have been through a lot together and noticing that he didn't care what others thought really pushed me to not care and do things that made me happy. I used to put others happiness before mine, but for once putting mine first really changed me and made me a better person. I'm a lot more open with someone if I have a problem and if someone doesn't like me because they heard something I done, I don't care. I ignore it or that person and move on. Life is way to short.  

Saving. I've learnt to finally save money and not spend it on makeup or clothes. Next year is a complete fresh start for my boyfriend and I. We are moving away and talking about the future really gets me excited! It's definitely what we need, and being able to see the money we've saved on our own place will really show me that saving has finally payed off! 


I've a had a lot of great times this year, but this one especially has been a learning curve for me! What have you learn about yourself this year? Let me know! 

The Christmas Tag | Blogmas | Day Fourteen

I'm starting getting back into my blog by doing blogmas! Today's blog is a little boring and about my Christmas traditions and well, a little bit about me, sorry guys! This is a little laid back today and that's just because on the week before Christmas my life can be hectic with work! Hope you enjoy!

What's your favourite Christmas Movie?

It's such a hard decision between Elf and The Holiday! Even though Elf is hilarious I'd definitely choose The Holiday! It's a movie full of emotions and laughter and one minute I feel like i'm tearing up and the next I'm laughing out loud! Id definitely give this a watch if you haven't watched this! 

Do you open presents on Christmas morning or Christmas evening?

I get straight into opening presents as soon as I wake up, there's no stopping me! It's only myself and my parents so the three of us sit on the couch opening presents, with Christmas music on, munching chocolate and passing our presents around, getting excited at each others reactions! It's a really special time for me, I really love family time! 

Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?

Every Christmas is very special to me, but I'd have to say when i was about 6/7 my Uncle from Canada surprised me on Christmas morning! I don't get to see him a lot so that really meant a lot to me, even as a child! Family is so important to me, and I love when we all get together!

What's your favourite festive food?

Pigs in blankets are my absolute favourite! When they arrive in supermarkets at the end of November I honestly can't contain my excitement! I really need to stock up as it's on 11 days until Christmas! How crazy!

What's been your favourite Christmas gift?

I don't think I can pick one, as each gift I receive I really do appreciate and love! My parents are always so generous, and I can't thank them enough for making every Christmas special for me! 

What's your favourite Christmas scent?

I love a good spicey candle, but it has to be Sparkling Cinnamon by Yankee Candle. I LOVE cinnamon and I feel Christmas is the only time I can light cinnamon candles without being moaned at because it's too strong!

Do you have a Christmas Eve Tradition?

Ever since I was a little girl on Christmas Eve my parents give me pjs so I can have a new set to wear for Christmas morning, it's a little thing that's became a tradition to me, and I want to do that when I eventually start a family! I also snuggle up in bed watching a Christmas movie with a lot of junk food, as it's Christmas after all! 

What tops your tree?

A blue and silver sparkly bird, not too sure what type though! Sorry guys! 

As a child, what was the one (crazy, extravagant) gift you wanted but never got?

I remember I wanted an electric car as one of the boys who live from me had one, and we used to cruise around my street in it! Apparently it was a hilarious sight to see! But, I harped on about an electric car for a while!  

What do you think is the best part of Christmas?

Spending time with family and friends! I love this time of year! Work seems a much happier enviroment to work in as everyones in a fantastic mood, I get to see extended family who I don't get to see much of during the year, spend time with my boyfriends family which is always a good laugh and get very drunk with my best friends! Perfect! 

What's In My Bag | Winter Edition | Blogmas | Day Thirteen

My bag is from Ted Baker and I received this from my very generous boyfriend for my 21st birthday back in July. It's absolutely gorgeous and the colour is just to die for!

My make up bag is also from Ted Baker, I may just be a little obsessed with how gorgeous their products are! Even though this looks quite small, it fits all my make up products I use for the day! This was around £21 which I think is an alright price for a make up bag! 

I saved up some for some time for this and so glad I did. Also from Ted Baker this cost me £70 which it took me A LONG time to pluck up the courage and buy! I love the pale pink and inside is rose gold which if you show me anything rose gold I fall in love with it instantly! 

My car keys, I couldn't go very far without these! I bought this plum pom pom from New Look for about £6 as it matches the colour of my bag, and also it's big enough so I don't lose my keys! 

I never leave the house without these in my bag! I live next to the sea so my hair can go pretty wild quickly from the wind and rain! If you have never owned a tangle teaser I'd seriously invest in one! It's the best thing i've ever purchased and I couldn't live without it! 

Lastly, I carry around these! 

Zoella hand cream |  My  hands get very dry in the winter months and this is the best hand cream I've ever used! 

Impulse and Gold Magic perfume by Little Mix |  I always carry about body spray and perfume as it's  handy to have and someone always asks me if I have any nice smelling products at some point through the day to borrow.

My inhaler |  If  you have asthma you'll understand winter can suck for us! So if I don't carry it around I really start to suffer in the cold! 

Ear Phones | Something I always carry around me, I always need them at some point and it's always the way, when I forget them, I need them! Typical!

Tissues | Am I the only one that feels like my nose never stops running throughout November and December? I love Winter but I hate having a tissue constantly attached to my hand! So these are something I always carry with me!

What do you have in your bag throughout Winter? Let me know below! 

Top 5 Festive Nail Polish | Blogmas | Day Twelve

I can't go without wearing nail polish, if I do then it's a bad day! I recently purchased some festive nail polish which i've absolutely fallen in love with! Here are my top 5!

Barry M Aquarium | Arabian 5

Barry M Gelly | Coconut

Barry M Gelly | Sparkling Amethyst

Lottie London | Voltage

Avon | Blue Steel

My Favourite Christmas Movies | Blogmas | Day Eleven

I work right up until the 23rd of December and even though work go all out with Christmas I never seem to feel in that Christmas mood, as all I have on my mind is work! So what I usually like to do during the week or so before Christmas is to watch my favourite Christmas movies! I throw on my onesie, grab a hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream, and grab a good old fashion Christmas movie to get me into the spirit! 


So, here are my top 5 Christmas movies I can't not watch throughout December!

The Holiday | This might have to be my favourite movie of all time, and no that's not because Jude Law is in it.. well, maybe! But aside from that, it's such a winter warmer, filled with laughs and all the emotions on the run up to Christmas! It brings people together in all sorts of ways and is just such a feel good film! 

Elf | Without a doubt one of the funniest films I've watched! It's about Buddy the elf having to adjust to life outside the North Pole, and the hilarity along the way! Really is a feel good, family film! 

Love Actually | With such a fantastic cast I knew this film would be a popular Christmas movie! This is a film with a lot of different stories, but each story has a link to one another. I love films that bring people together and this is definitely one of them. 

Home Alone | This really doesn't need a introduction as this is without a doubt played every year at Christmas time on TV. It's about a little boy who's left home alone and he gets up to mischief. I don't want to write too much as if you've not watched it, I'd definitely give it a watch. 

Matchmaker Santa | This was a film I came across one day while I was watching TV with my Mum. She always finds the cheesy Christmas films which is about love and finding mr right and this is one of these films. You always need to watch one cheesy film at Christmas and I'd definitely recommend this.
