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. 

Everyday Festive Make Up Tutorial | Blogmas | Day Ten

Festive season is here, and I love to add a little glitter to my make up to get right into that Christmas spirit! To me this look is subtle, but some of you may want to use this as a going out make up look instead! This is definitely a look I go straight to at the moment, so down below I've listed all the products I've used and gave a small step by step guide on how to achieve this look! (Pictures down below)

Face

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation | Vanilla 52

Hoola Bronzer  | Benefit

Rockateur  Blush | Benefit

High Beam Highlight | Benefit

Arch De Triumph Eyebrow Shaper & Highlight | Soap & Glory

Eyes

Primer Potion | Urban Decay

Anastasia Beverly Hills Self-Made Palette | Pink Champagne 

Make Up Geek Eyeshadow | Mercury

Push-Up Eyeliner | Benefit

They're Real Mascara | Benefit

Black Super Shock Eyeliner | Avon

Lips 

Rimmer Lip Liner | Eastend Snob 063

Mac Matte Lipstick | Please Me 

Step 1.

After I applied my foundation, bronzer and blush etc. I started off with applying my Urban Decay primer potion as a base on my eyes, followed by the shade Pink Champagne from my Anastasia Beverly Hills palette. I made sure this was even all over before I added the shade Mercury in the crease of my eyes! Make sure to blend these well, as seeing a line were the eyeshadows are both applied sometimes ain't pretty! 

Step 2. 

I then grabbed my Push-Up Eyeliner which I absolutely love at the moment! It glides on so smoothly and I definitely recommend this for all the gel/liquid eyeliner lovers out there! I followed that by applying mascara on the top and bottom lashes and also using my eye pencil by Avon, also on my top and bottom waterline for a full look since I wasn't using fake eyelashes! 

Step 3.

Any shade of lipstick would suite this look but I've chosen a nude shade to complete this! I applied my lip liner first, followed by Please Me to get a neat guide and make my lips look a lot more fuller! Lip Liner honestly makes a huge difference and I'd recommend buying some to try if you don't already use it!

Step 4. 

GLITTER. And lots of it! I used a pink shade from Ted Baker to apply in the inner corners of my eyes but you can use any to achieve this look! I also recommend Barry M's Dazzle Dust and this works just as well, if not better!

My Christmas Playlist | Blogmas | Day 7

This is my favourite time of year, Christmas trees are up, Christmas movies become part of your night time routine and you get excited when your favourite Christmas advert comes on. It's acceptable to dress down at work and wear whatever hilarious or cute Christmas jumpers you want and everyone seems to be in such a happier mood. It's the end of the year and it's starting to get into party season! So other than all of those listed from above I've mentioned, I also love to listen to my Christmas playlist! So I got straight onto Spotify to share with you guys what songs get me into the Christmas spirit! Enjoy!
