What I got for Christmas 2015

Hi Everyone, 

I have finally got around to writing what I got for Christmas. I am NOT posting to show off but these blogposts/youtube videos are my favourite kind to watch and I want to be able to look back on this. I am also extremely grateful for everything I received and I love my presents! Lets get started...

So I mainly asked for Primark pyjamas as they are my favourite and are a really good price! These are all from Primark except the white pyjama bottoms with gold snowflakes which are from Tesco. 

These were also in my stocking and I am super excited to try out the Simple rollerball! 

So I have wanted the Pink sprays for so long and one of my best friends bought me set of four minis which smell so good and are perfect for my bag! I also got some mini perfumes from my stocking and I am excited to try the Prada Candy one. 

Obviously I got Chocolate and Terry's chocolate orange are my favourite so I did good

These are some small bits and bobs - A lush bath bomb, a heart mirror, manicure kit and a mug with H on which I have honestly wanted for so long! 

I got some clothes, this one is a black cropped top that I got from my best friend from Topshop.

Some more perfume which I am excited to try as I have heard good things about Ghost and a Maccys bag from New York.

This was one of the presents from my Mum which is a gold and white bangle with my name engraved onto it and I love it as it is super personal! 

A rose gold bracelet that I now wear every day. 

This was my favourite present that I wasn't expecting as I have wanted one of these Ted Baker purses for about two year now! It is pink (my favourite colour) and the inside is rose gold, I don't even want to use it because I don't want it to get dirty! 

I somehow managed to get two They're real Benefit mascaras to add to my ever growing mascara collection and I can't wait to try them! 

I hope you have all had a good Christmas and a happy New Year!

My Christmas Nails

Hi Everyone, 

I thought I would show you the Nails I went with over the Christmas Period. 

Before I painted my nails I used the Barry M base coat and once this had dried I went onto the red colour which is '24' from Bourjouis and then I did white glitter on both of my ring fingers which I liked because it made it look like snow! The glitter was Ciate 'Chalet Chic' then on the top I used the Ciate topcoat 'Bloom boost'.

Merry Christmas

Hi Everyone, 

Sorry I didn't blog over Christmas, I wasn't at home and to be honest I was spending time with family and relaxing instead of worrying about the blogposts. I hope you all had a good Christmas and that you also got to spend some quality time with your loved ones. 

I am planning to write some blogposts now and there is a 'What I got for Christmas' on its way as well as two 'what I got in my advent calendar' so be excited for those! 

I am not sure what to post in January if I want to still upload every day so there may be four a week instead of one a day because I don't have a crazy amount of ideas of what to post! 

This was a shorter post to keep you up to date but get ready for the blogposts to come!

Christmas Day Morning Routine

Hi Everyone, 

So I love looking at other peoples morning routines which is why I thought I would show you mine for Christmas day! 

So the first thing I do is wakeup, usually in our house someone will be up before me and I will wake up by hearing them around the house. 

Then I head downstairs to go and say Merry Christmas to everyone or I will wake anyone else up who isn't already! 

The first thing we do is have a bacon sandwich with a glass of champagne or if your not feeling that crazy you can go for a cup of tea! Then once everyone is finally in the lounge with their breakfast we will begin to open presents and I'm the one who hands out the presents to everyone else from under the tree and when everyone has theirs I will then begin to open mine. We open them as we get them at the same time, we don't do it one by one.

After everyone has opened their presents we will then clear up all the wrapping and everyone will start to get ready. I have written a 'Christmas day get ready with me' so go and check that out to see what I wore, what I did with my hair, and my Makeup for Christmas day! 

Heres a sneak peak of what makeup I wore.

I hope you enjoyed this, I know I will enjoy looking back at this as I am really happy with how the pictures came out and I hope you guys all have a great Christmas!

How to: Red lip

Hi Everyone,

So I thought as a lot of people will be wearing red lipstick this year over Christmas I would show you how I do a red lip that will stay on  throughout the day and which red lipstick of mine is my favourite.

So at this time of year your lips are probably feeling pretty dry which is why the first thing I do is put some lip balm on them, I use the Vaseline lip balm.

Then I apply my lipstick, I use the Kiko red lipstick and I follow on with an unknown brand of lipstick, sorry that I can't tell you the brand or name but I just found it and it never had anything on it! 

To blend it all in I usually go around my mouth with my fingers so it looks as blended as possible. 

That is all I do for my go to red lips but if your lip stick comes off through out the day I have heard going over your lipstick with some face powder is meant to help so just go over your lips with some powder on your fingers. 

I hope this helped some of you master your red lip!

12 Christmas Questions Tag

Hi Everyone, 

I am currently babysitting but I am babysitting someone in hotel, meaning I have to sit here in the dark in silence ( I have my headphones into my laptop and am catching up on You tube whilst blogging. I even feel like the typing is too loud!) 

I know I have just done the Christmas tag part 1 and 2 but I also wanted to do the Holiday tag as tags are my favourite to write so her we go! 

1. Favourite holiday colours? 

Red is definitely my favourite and probably white along with that as they go together nicely and around Christmas is when I wear red a lot. Red nails, red lipstick, red Christmas jumper! I love it! 

2. Biggest Holiday pet peeve? 

Probably the hype that is created on New Years Eve, I enjoy New Years Eve and I do celebrate it but everyone gets so excited and the ten second count down is huge! I think it is worth getting hyped up about if you are going out but if its a night in people can get very excited! 

3. Do you plan ahead or procrastinate? 

Well generally I procrastinate but when it comes to Christmas shopping I usually plan ahead. I have been very good with Christmas shopping this year and I had done most of them by the end of the first week in December which I was so proud of because I usually don't have any money to get any but this year I started saving for presents early so I had enough money for them all. 

4. How old were you when you stopped believing in Santa? 

I think I was about 11, but since that Christmas I have always spent Christmas Eve and day with someone who does still believe in Santa so I still always have to get excited for him coming which I think is nice.

5. Favourite classic and new holiday?

I don't know if there is a 'new' holiday that I celebrate but my favourite classic holiday is Christmas, however I do also love the Summer holidays if that counts as a classic holiday? I don't think it does.

6. Favourite Christmas tradition? 

I don't think we have many traditions, the only one we do have when we have Christmas at home is that we all eat bacon sandwiches and have a glass of champagne/or a cup of tea whilst opening presents at about 11'o'clock in the morning which I love as its super family orientated and fun.

7. Real or fake tree?

Fake tree, we used to get real ones but fake are so much easier as you don't need to go out and buy them or squeeze them into your car or clear up after them. I know a lot of people like real trees because of the smell but that doesn't bother me. 

8. When do you put the tree up and take it down? 

Well as my birthday is at the beginning of December we don't start to celebrate Christmas until about a week after my Birthday. So this year we put the tree up on the 6th of December and I think we take it down after New Year but it just depends when we are home and free as the week after Christmas we do usually go away. 

9. Favourite holiday cookie/treat? 

Chocolate! I love the boxes of chocolate biscuits and Celebrations. I think these are probably my favourite as they are something that really relate to Christmas and are just so good! 

10. Whats at the top of your tree? 

We have a pink angel at the top of our tree, I am not sure where it is from but I would prefer a big silver star as I think it would look nicer, however my Mum loves our Angel so we have that every year which matches with our pink theme.

11. Do you decorate outside? 

The only way we decorate outside is with a Wreath on our door, and we do put up decorations in the window but nothing else outside. 

12. What did you always wish for but never get? 

I always wished for a Kitten as I love kittens and would love to have one so much but I never got one! 

I hope you enjoyed this blogpost!

Gift Guide for Him

Hi Everyone, 

As you know I have just uploaded a 'Gift guide for her' and I also wanted to do a Gift Guide for him so here you go. Whether this is for your Brother, Dad, Nephew, Grandad, Uncle, God brother or anyone else I hope this helps! 

Obviously only get this for someone who is overage, I think it is a fun present for brothers and nephews as it means they can have fun with it! 

Clothes are also something really good for Men as I don't think they are that fussy with what colour the top is just as long as it is the right size! 

I always get someone a wash bag, this one is for my Grandad as it is something easy that everyone will make used of and I liked this one because it came with a really good quality wash bag which I know my Grandad will appreciate and get a lot of use out of. 

I know this gift guide was a lot shorter but I haven't had to buy for as many Men this year as Women and I still hope it gave you some ideas of what to buy.
