☃ Blogmas Day 10 - Golden Eye Look ☃

  I have been loving this eye look at the moment, It's a very simple everyday look.


To create this look I have been using Collection's eyes uncovered in 'Nude Bronze' Palette.  

The first shade use is the gold colour 'Ochre' in the corner and middle of the lid.

In the crease I use the lighter brown 'Ember'.

Then in the very corner of the crease to darken the eye a bit I use a mix of 'Golden Brown' and 'Nutty'. 

Then to brighten the inner corners of the eye I use 'Ivory' and also the same colour the brow bone. 


(Left or Right - Ivory, Mink, Orchre, Golden Brown, Ember, Nutty)

The eyeliner I have used is Soap & Glory - Supercat, which is amazing, I would highly recommend! 

Then for mascara I have used Roller Lash by Benefit which is still my go to mascara. 
(Full review of Roller Lash here.)



Thank you all for reading!!

☃ Blogmas Day 9 - Avon 'Oxford Wine' Lipstick Review ☃

 I have never really been into dark berry lips, as I have never had the confidence to wear it out of the house, but recently and I have braved it and worn it out a few times, I have been loving this lip stick from Avon in 'Oxford Wine' Its perfect as you can build it up or just wear as a light berry colour. 


 I have tried a few Avon Lip Sticks and they have all been amazing quality  and have a long stay wear, I worn this one on a night out a few weeks ago and it stayed pretty much on all night, even having drinks!

It has a lovely satin finish which I love. I wore this with a gold eye make up look, and it really completed the whole makeup look. It also looks great which everyday makeup at this time of year. 

I would recommend wearing a lip balm under the lipstick, as my lips do dry a bit while wearing this lipstick! 

Avon Shop - £7.50

☃ Blogmas Day 7 - Gift Guide for Him ☃

Gift Guide for him



 This is the third gift guide in my series.

'Gift Guide for Him' 


I find the hardest people to buy for are my Brother and Dad, so I have been noting down different ideas for gifts to get for men. 


I feel men what things that are practical and they would use, so I find getting them, shower things or shaving things for a great idea, so they are most likely to get used. 

Which is why I have included gift sets, they are always my go to! 






D.R. Harris Arlington Shaving Gift Set - £56


Hope this helped you in some way!

☃ Blogmas Day 5 - Gift Guide for Her ☃

Gift Guide for Her



Viktor Rolf eau de parfum perfume / Benefit beauty product, £33 / Gift sets kit / Pandora sterling silver bead charm, £125 / Pandora polish jewelry, £49 / Pandora sterling silver enamel charm, £33 / Pandora sterling silver jewellery, £20 / Yankee Candle christmas holiday decor, £8.00 / Christmas holiday decoration, £6.64 / Christmas holiday decoration

This is part two, to my Christmas gift guide series! 

'GIFT GUIDE FOR HER' 

I have put together a few things that I would personal love to receive for Christmas and a few things that I have brought for friends and family, I tried to include gifts of different price ranges, so there is something for everyone! 

Pandora - I find this is the place to go to get girls a nice pretty gift, they do different things at different prices, so i find it is a flexible place to go. I personal have a Pandora charm bracelet and I know a few friends that do as well, I also think its nice to get someone a little charm to add to their collection, Pandora have the cutest Christmas range as well, I would highly recommend going to have a look! 

If you wanted to get a really nice gift from Pandora for maybe a family member or partner, they also have some lovely rings, which range in prices, from around £20 +, again this would make a lovely gift. 


I also think perfume is a lovely gift idea for a girl as perfume is something girls don't really treat themselves to, the perfume I have included is one on my Christmas wishlist this year. I know perfume can be hard to buy for someone else as everything prefers different perfumes, so I would probably recommend finding out what the person likes before buying.

Gift sets area perfect present for someone, as they get a range of different things together, which I find a good thing as you get to try different products, there are some amazing gift sets around at the moment, boots have some good ones for example Soap & Glory and Benefit. 

Candles are also a really nice gift as well to give anyone, as there is such a range of different candles around, plus there are some amazing Christmas candles out at the moment! 


Thank you for reading.

I hope this post helped come up with some ideas :)

Haul ~ Avon&NewLook

Avon:

Avon £10









First of all, I finally brought the 'Mega Effects' Mascara, I finally bit the bullet and got in, I have seen so many reviews on how amazing it is. At first I was a bit scared of the way it looked, I thought I would end up poking my eye out which so far I have not done yay! Despite that the way the it looks, The product is amazing, it's so easy to apply and you not having to mess around, plus you only need a coat or two. One down side is that I find it goes a bit clumpy, so I wear my 'collection No clumps' over the top to make sure it's not clumpy. 


Avon £7











The next thing I got was 'Avon SuperShock' Double Eyeshadow pencil in 'Cream Dream & Chocolate Melt' I have wanted to try an eyeshadow pencil for a while, because I had seen good reviews about them, So I got the double ended pencil, I love the two colours. 'Chocolate Melt' It's a dark brown colour (Like chocolate big clue in the name) and the other colour is a light Cream colour (again clue in name) they both have shimmer in, but they look amazing at this time of year and would made a nice eye look for going out. 



Avon £8







The next thing I got was 'Avon super extend' Eyeliner, This product came free when I got the eyeshadow  which I thought was really good, since I've always wanted to try an pen liquid eyeliner and this is came free which was great, I am no expert at eyeliner what so ever, I am ok with pencil but liquid never ends well! but the eyeliner is good and it's easy to control. The only down side is the smell it doesn't smell great, but the product is good.

NewLook:

NewLook £24.99





My mum got me this for Christmas Jumper day at school, and also because I did well in my maths mock!! but anyway I have fallen in love this jumper I wearing it right now, and I'm also wearing it tonight for a meal party with young famers :D It's the perfect Christmas Jumper.












What type of Christmas jumper do you have? 

Thank you for reading!

November Favourites







Baby Lips 'Cherry me' has been in my last few favouites and it's still here, 'Cherry Me' has to be the best baby lips I have, I have two others but they aren't ones that I would wear everyday. I wear this one everyday at school, It's makes your lips so soft plus it gives you a bit of colour, without going over board.







 




Here is another lip product, it's been in my last few favourites, I also wear eos balm everyday at school under my babylips, to get extra soft lips, with eos I do find it does dry up your lips sometimes, this is why I wear babylips over the top to lock in the moister.










 



This is a random favouite but this book is amazing, I'm not going to tell you what its about, but I will say its a book you won't put down, it took me two days to finishes it and I can't find to read now, which lives up to this book, its a book about a girl trying to find your soul mate, that's all I'm going to say you'll have to read it to find out. It's a book I will read again.







 




Again another product which has been in my favouites, (I think I would try some new things haha) anyway this perfume is amazing, it smell sweet but also a rich smell, I again wear this everyday to school, I love the bottle as well its so cute.









 




I got this candle off my best friend for my birthday back in august and it smells define, I love the smell of vanilla but this candle also has white ginger, which gives it a richer smell, which doesn't make it as sweet, it's the perfect candle for this time of the year, I burn it almost every night and it leaves the whole room smelling amazing.









 




Last but not least, I think this was again in my last favouites, but I love bath & body works products they are simply amazing, and smell gorgeous! Its a great little thing to carry in your bag to school or work and plus it keeps your hands clean, I really wish there was a bath and body works in England :(  










Question of the day: What is your must have for winter? 

Thank you for reading, See you soon!!
