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.

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?

November Favourites | Blogmas | Day Three

Here are my November favourites.  I love this time of year as it's time for cosy nights in with candles and a good book! So here are my favourites throughout November.



















 













Girl Online : On Tour | Zoe Suggs | If you haven't read Girl Online I'd advise you read that first as this is the follow up from that book. I managed to read this book in just under 2 days as there were that many ups and downs I just couldn't put the book down! I'd honestly give Zoe's books a read and check out her youtube channel and blog too!


Little Girl Gone | Alexandra Burt |. Just wow. This is quite a dark book but a book I'd definitely read again! So many twists in this book, your mind is constantly wondering what happens next and how it ends! A definite must read!


Little Mix | Gold Magic Perfume | I'm not a very fruity kind of person when it comes to perfumes but this is just devine! I love the packaging and you even get a little charm attached around the bottle too! If you are a lover of fruity scents or Little Mix give this a try!


Anastasia Beverly Hills | Self - Made Palette | This palette needs no introduction to my blog as I've already done a more detailed blog about this down below. Click here to read.


Blue Steel Nail Polish| Avon | I love this nail polish it's so pretty and with that subtle hint of blue through the silver it's beautiful when it catches in the light! You can't buy this product online but if you find your nearest Avon representative you can grab a catalogue and have a little nosey.

I Love You To The Moon And Back Sign | Homebase | This sign really means a lot to me. I clocked my eyes on it and instantly had to buy it! It's a thing that my boyfriend and I say to each other and really reminded me of how lucky I am to be in a fantastic relationship. That was so soppy.. i'm sorry!


Vanilla Satin Defuser | Yankee Candle | I absolutely love anything Vanilla. I bought this defuser a few months ago and decided November was the month to make my room smell lovely! Unfortunately I can't seem to find this defuser on their website but they have a huge selection of others to choose from!

What's in your November favourites?
