2013 | December Favourites

This is my last beauty favourites of 2013. This has been such a quick year, I can't believe it, I hope you enjoy this as I will have an overall favourites very soon for you.

Allura - Reindeer Nail Stickers - I love these they are just so cute and very festive, I have currently got quite a bit of an obsession with nail stickers at the moment. I just think these were so cute. Also they were only a £1 from poundland so I couldn't turn them down,
 
2True - 3 in 1 Concealer - This has been one of my newest buys. I like this concealer and I have been wearing this quite a bit and been swapping with different concealers. I really like this and this is the perfect colour for me.
 
Makeup Brush - This is a funky friends brush (yes I realise I am 19 years old) this was a brush I found. I love this brush as it is perfect for my blusher.
 
Garnier Moisture Match -  Start A Fresh - This is one of my new moisturisers that I am using, as it is moisture match this matches the type of skin you have. I really like this because I think its good on my skin and I have had a real outbreak of little spots all over my face which isn't exactly perfect.

4. MAC - Lipgloss - Pop Mode - £14.00

Why I want these products?
1. MAC - Eyeshadow - Bark - This is such a pretty eyeshadow, I really want to get this just because I want to have a palette full of Mac eyeshadows. This looks like a perfect all over the lid shade.

2. MAC - Blush - Sweet Samba - I have a feeling that this blush isn't sold anymore as it isn't on there website at all. I really love this and I actually wish that this somehow was on sale as it is so gorgeous.

3. MAC - Lipstick - Costa Chic - I love this lipstick, it is just like a amber/coral pink type. I really like this. But I am still not so sure if this lipstick would actually suit me because I literally so pale at the moment.

4. Mac - Lipgloss - Pop Mode - I love this colour and I didn't realise how many different type of MAC lipglosses. There are so many and this is like a fuchsia cute pink colour. I really love this colour.

NOTD | Christmas Greetings!

Here is my NOTD for Christmas for you. This is my first time that I have actually done anything to my nails especially for Christmas.
 
 The polishes I have used - Avon Cherry Choc and Technic Seafoam. These were used to create these nails.

These are my Christmas nails and I love them. I have used a poundland reindeer sticker which I actually love look how cute it looks on my nails.

Wishlist #58

Here is another wishlist for you. I hope you are all excited for Christmas!
I am sure you will be looking for it.
 
Products Mentioned:
1. Sinful Colours - Nail Polish - Envy - £1.99
2. Revlon - Lipgloss - Colourburst - Strawberry - £7.99
3. Brush Set - Ebay - Unknown
 
Why I want these products?:
1. Sinful - Nail Polish - Envy - This is such a gorgeous colour, I also haven't tried any nail polishes from sinful colours but I know they are pretty much loved on the blogging world. This is why I want to get some but I have no idea if any of my local Boots sell them.
 
2. Revlon - Lipgloss - Colourburst - Strawberry - You can never have enough lipglosses or something like that can you. Well I suppose you cant. But this is a beautiful pink colour and you just need pink lipglosses in your life don't you.
 
3. Brush Set - I am the worst person when it comes to having brushes because I always seem to never find them. But I wont have these ones because I am sure that they won't probably still have them on eBay where I was buying it.

1001 little beauty miracles | Lighten Up With Lemon

This is actually about a hair mask and this is something I have never used and not going to lie I probably wont ever do that. But I thought I would do something different.
 
487 - LIGHTEN UP WITH LEMON
Lemon juice and vinegar are both excellent for oily hair. They will also give lustre to blonde hair and bring out highlights. Never pour vinegar or lemon juice directly onto your hair, dilute them first with water and distribute evenly.
 
This is really odd I have never seen something about this before. I am sure that I will never do this again. But it seems that people will be doing it.

TOP 5 |

I have decided I will be doing something that includes my top 5 products. This has inspired me by one of my favourite bloggers - Shona - Freshbeautyxo. She has been collabing (if that's how you spell it!).
 
So after the new year I will be doing my top 5 of:
- Nail Polish (e.g. colours and brands, as well as many more!)
- Lipglosses/balms
- Brushes
- Eyeshadows/palettes
 
This is quite a lot for me to post but you know what I love seeing what you love. But some of these products may not even feature in my favourites. But I am sure you will enjoy at the start of the New Year.

NOTD | Bronze

I have got another NOTD for you, this is one of my favourite posts to see just because I love seeing what people have on there nails. Yes that's pretty odd, but who doesn't love it.
 
 This is what I have on my nails - Maybelline Colour Show - Brick shimmer. I love this on my nails and it is so gorgeous. It has only just started chipping. I will probably take this off soon. Maybelline have got some gorgeous colours in their range which are only cheap that's probably why I love it so much.

2013 | November Favourites

Here are my November favourites, yes it's almost Christmas and I am just posting this. I need to keep a record of the products that I use as it is getting to the point I can never ever remember what products I use. So I only have a few products.
 
 Natural Collection - Rosey Glow - Blush - £1.79
This is my favourite blush at the moment, I love this. The colour of this is so gorgeous and such a natural colour that I would wear. I will do a review of this soon as it is one of my favourite blushes.

 Johnson's Cotton Buds - 65p
This is what I have been using to take of my nail polish and obviously clean my ears (yuck and gross! I do apologise). I really do like them, Yeah I might probably stop talking about cotton buds now.
Collection - 60 Seconds - Fruit Salad - £1.99
This polish has been my favourite this month just for the fact it lasted so long on my nails. This is such a beautiful colour and it is really creamy on your nails.

1001 little beauty miracles | Get Stuck With Lotion

Here is my 1001 little beauty miracles, I have been sorting out the page where all of these have been  put up there. I am sorry that this has been quite late, I feel there would be much an easier if the links on the page didn't take so long. I am sure that there is an easier way.
 
770 - GET STUCK WITH LOTION
To give yourself an extra watery boost and lock in extra moisture, slather on moisturizing creams directly after a bath or shower while your skin is still damp. Body creams and lotions that contain gentle chemical exfoliators, including glycolic acid and salicylic acid can help even out skin tone, while 'contouring' or 'lifting' creams will improve skin texture.

I have to admit most of that text has gone over my head because I just thought I lotion does the same thing as any other. Well obviously not. I am pretty bad with most things but moisturising is something that I will probably start to do again.

NOTD | Bronze & Gold

Here is another NOTD, I am getting into the swing of things with my NOTD. I really like doing these as I love looking at other peoples as well. Also this is pretty late this one because I have changed my nail polish already. But I am sure you won't mind.
 
The two nail polishes I have used are an unbranded gold and Maybelline colour show brick shimmer. I though this was a pretty good nail look. Until the gold nail polish just chipped off the whole time. It was pretty annoying as even if you just knocked it. It would flake off. I love the Maybelline colours shows also, seeing as they have got such a good colour range. I would get so many more colours.

Wishlist #56

Here is another wishlist for you guys. These posts seem to be coming round quicker and quicker each week. Where is this year going? It is almost Christmas. It's all going way to fast for my liking.
 
 
Products Mentioned:
1. Essie - Nail Polish - Lovie Dovie - £7.99
2. Sleek - Eyeshadow Palette - Sunset - £7.99
3. Soap and Glory - The Righteous Butter - £10.50
 
Why I want these products?
1. Essie - Nail Polish - Lovie Dovie - This nail polish is such a gorgeous colour. I probably don't need any more pink nail polishes. But I really don't care because you can't have enough of pink nail polishes in your collection do you. Well that is what I say.
 
2. Sleek - Eyeshadow Palette - Sunset - This is a gorgeous palette, I love the colour of it. I think this is such a autumn colour. This is so amazing, the only problem is I probably wouldn't use the blue colour or the yellow but that of course if personal preferences.
 
3. Soap and Glory - The Righteous Butter - This is probably one of the most talked about body butters on here. This is something I really want to go and get even though the price is pretty terrible for just a body butter.

TAG | The Christmas Tag

Seeing as Christmas is coming soon I thought I would do the Christmas tag that was going around. So here we go this is the Christmas tag!
Enjoy.

1.  Do you prefer a real Christmas tree or synthetic?
I have only ever had a synthetic Christmas tree, so to be honest I know no different in Christmas trees. I like synthetic Christmas trees seeing as I have a cat, I'm pretty sure he would eat it.

2.  You're in a coffee shop, it's December, what do you pick?
Ermmmm, I don't like this question just based on the fact that I hate coffee. So I never go into Starbucks or Costa Coffee. So that isn't a good question to ask. I like tea that is as far as hot drinks are going.

3.  Whats your favourite colour scheme for decorating the tree?
Well I have got quite a cute Christmas tree. It has got multi-coloured lights on which are currently twinkling away right now. I have lots of little decorations on them, for example - blue and gold baubles. As well as silver beads and some Tottenham Hotspur baubles. So I don't really have a colour scheme, it is just pretty miss-match, but I like it that way.

4.  Giving or receiving?
Well I love opening presents of course who doesn't love getting presents. But I do like giving presents to other people. This year especially I cant wait, just for the reason as I have bought both my mum and dad presents with my money as this is my first year working. I thought I would treat them.
 
5.  To mince pie or not to?
No mince pie for me thanks. That sounds absolutely vile. I don't think I would like to eat one of those.
 
6.  What's your traditional Sunday lunch?
I am the most fussiest person ever when it comes to eating. Every year since I can remember Christmas and Boxing days have always changed. I always go to different places and only about a year ago I had my first Christmas at home. I have roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings are my favourite.

7.  Christmas day fashion
I usually have a new jumper or jeans or something. I really like having something new to dress in.
 
8.  What's your favourite Christmas song?
I like all Christmas songs, but sometimes they can get really annoying when playing it over and over again. But I don't particular have a favourite I would say.

9.  What's your favourite Christmas film?
My favourite Christmas film HAS got to be ELF. One of the best films. I could watch that all the time even if it wasn't even Christmas. Its one of those films you know certain lines to because it is so funny. "I KNOW SANTAAA" One of the funniest lines.

10.  Open presents before or after lunch?
Open presents before from my parents that is. We always do it as soon as we wake up.

1001 little beauty miracles | Buy The Best

Here is one of my 1001 little beauty miracles, I hope you enjoy this. This one is probably something that I need to understand and do because I am pretty bad when it comes to buying shampoos.
 
500 - BUY THE BEST
Cheap shampoos are harsh detergents that are not formulated for the specific needs of your hair. They may contain drying alcohols or resins. Choose the best brand you can afford and buy for your needs - coloured, dry, fine, strengthening, and so on. These have ingredients such as antioxidants, vitamins, sun filters and penetrating straighteners and moisturisers.

I think this is something that I need to do as my shampoo probably doesn't do a lot for me. But I am sure I will deal with this soon because it doesn't really do a lot for me.

Review | ELF Single Eyeshadow - Saddle

Here is another review for you. I have to admit on this blog I am terrible at reviewing products, but here you go this is my ELF single eyeshadow in the shade Saddle.

This is the shade I have been using for the past few months. I have an obsession with single eyeshadows. I think ELF have a very good range of eyeshadows as they have a lot of different colours. They have classic range, mineral and studio shadows.

As you can see you get a lot of product from this range. This is a beautiful brown/ auburn colour. Its a great all-over the lid colour which I use for. But a crease colour to blend it out with is perfect too.

This is what it looks like on my lids just normally. I have no idea what is up with the left eye, I think that's where I took this picture pretty late and it just got mascara all over the lid. As you can see this is a perfect all over lid colour.

I will use this product a lot and I am pretty sure you will see this a lot more used on my blog. As this is one of my favourites at the moment. ELF has some pretty amazing eyeshadows.
I hope you enjoyed this review today and hopefully many more to come!

NOTD | Peach Glitter

Here is my NOTD for you all. I have to admit this is probably my favourite nail look. I love this. I hope you enjoy this one.

As you can see in the picture below, this is the nail varnishes I have used - Technic - Carnival and Collection in Fruit Salad. I love both of these nail polishes. They are so amazing. I have used Technic nail polishes before but this glitter one is very much talked about on here as it as a dupe of a OPI one if I am not mistaken. I have never tried a Collection one before this one and I am going to need more in my collection as I love it. It is so creamy and value of the money.
