What's in my bag?


This is such a classic lifestyle blogger post, but as I haven't done it before and 'what's in my bag' posts are one of my favourites to read so I thought I'd do one myself. 


 This is my current hand bag, which I always carry around with me when I go out with friends or shopping
I really like the colour and the shape. It also has lots of space inside. 


So this is all I carry around in my bag:

Headphones
Essential for train/bus journeys

A mini hair brush and a miror
a hair brush is something I can't leave the house without, and I love this little, pink mirror in the shape of heart. so cute!


A wallet 
the one that I currently use is so cute and it's from Primark (but I sometimes carry around a bigger wallet with me too)


A day planner and a pen 
Great for organising a day and planning things and also for moments of inspiration

Wet wipes, referring hand gel and breath spray
Are really useful, and you never know when you're gonna need them.
Both packagings of wet wipes are from H&M and they're so cute.
The breath spray is from Primark 
And the refreshing hand gel is from Boots (or superdrug, I'm not sure)


A hand warmer 
Is a great thing especially in the winter. It will keep your hands warm, what we all want when it's cold outside.

A hand cream and lip balms
My hands and lips get dry so quickly especially in winter time so I can tell hand cream and a lip balm are an essential.
The hand cream smells like a chocolate and it's really little so that's why I carry it in my handbag. 
And I carry around 2 different lip balms, the first one is a moisturizing lip balm from Carmex which is my all time favourite and the second one is a winter baby lips in a flavour of sweet apple, which I use when I want to bring some colour into my lips.


Tissues and TicTac 
(Or a chewing gum)
The tissues are form Primak and I love the packaging (which matchs my breath spray) 

A makeup bag 
Is not on the picture as I don't always carry a makeup bag with me. (Only when I don't have enough time to do my makeup in the morning) But if you want to see what I keep in my makeup bag, I've done a blog post about it earlier. 

I would also normally have: my phone, keys and the travel card. 


So that was everything I usually carry around with me in my bag. 
Let me know what do you have in your hand bag. :) 

Btw Happy New Year's Eve! :)

What I got for Christmas 2015

          

Merry Christmas! Hope you all had a well spent and lovely Christmas. :)

I thought I'd do a post about the things that I got for Christmas, I got lots of things like pyjamas, socks, but I thought I'd show you just these that might interest you:)(I have to say that I'm in no way bragging about what I got.) for me, Christmas's always been more about spending some time with my family and friends, and I'm thankful for every single gift I received. :) 

So first of all. I got this lovely set, including shower cream, hand cream, body lotion and a very Christmassy mug with a spoon. The most amazing about it is that all of the products smell exactly like a chocolate and cranberries.


Next I got this very Christmassy set of shower gel, body lotion, bubble bath and a soap in a shape of snowflake. How cute! 


Than I got this Rita Ora set from Rimmel, including a nail polish and a mascara. The nail polish is in very cute and summery colour, I'm so excited to try it out and I'm also so excited about the mascara, because it's amazing. I wasn't expecting it to be this great! I'd definitely recommend it!
 


Next I got this adorable Christmassy box, which I'm in love with. But than I got some makeup products that I'd like to mention. Firstly I got the Healthy Mix foundation from Bourjois, and I'm incredibly happy about it, because I think it's gonna be my new all time favourite foundation. The coverage is stunning, and formulation is amazing too.
Next I got the Revlon lip butter, in the shade Pink Truffle, and I'm in love with it. 
Than I got Labello lip butter in strawberry flavour, and I haven't tried it on yet but it seems perfect for the summer time. 
Than I got the winter delight baby lips, in a flavour of sweet apple. I have already tried it on and it smells so wintery and I absolutely love the cute winter packaging. 
Next I got the Max Factor cream blush, in 15 seductive pink shade and I really like it. It's basically something I've been searching for, for ages. I seriously love the shade! 
And lastly I got 3 nail polishes, the first 2 are both from Sally Hansen and they're both really pretty. The red one is called 'red-handed 575' and it's gonna look great in winter or autumn. And the second one is called '670 lavish' and I also really like the colour and it has mate effect, so I'm excited to try it out. 
And the third nail polish is from Max Factor and I don't really know what shade is it or how is it called, but it's really little and cute and the colour is pretty interesting, it's brown and shimmery and I'm sure I've never seen anything similar to this before.

And lastly I got few more things that you might be interested in, so the first thing I wanna mention is the Glam Guide book, which is great for those who are into cosmetics, fashion, hair, helth and fitness,... Basically you can learn lots of new thing from this book, and I'm already on 45th page. I love it.
Next I got some more things and I'm just going to name them, because I haven't tried them out yet so it's peel-off mask, wet wipes which I'm sure are from H&M, a little hair brush, and trio of shower gels, that I believe are from F&F in Tesco, but they smell amazing. The first one smells like orange, the second one like coconut and the last one like strawberries which are 3 of my favourite flavours like at all. 


So that was basically all I wanted to show you, I hope you enjoyed reading it, either way I enjoyed writing it.
Let me know what you got for Christmas. :)

And I hope you're all having a peaceful time until the new year. 
See you next time. :)

Christmas Day makeup look

                   


It's getting super close to Christmas now that I thought I would share my christmassy makeup with you all. 

For a base, I've been applying a primer before my foundation to make sure everything stays in place a little shorter. Than I'm applying all-day liquid foundation from H&M beauty as it's great for the winter time, and the coverage it stunning!
To give a perfect flush to my cheeks I'm using my all time favourite Gosh Natural blush.
You'll never see me without a gold eye over Christmas as it's my favourite. For the perfect shimmery, christmassy look I'm taking the Maybelline color tatto in a shade 05-Eternal Gold, which is super shimmery and it makes festive and easy look, and I'm applying it to my lid. (you can also use the silver one)
On the top I'm using a brown shimmery shade from the Sleek makeup palette, and I'm applying it to my outer lid and I blend it all together with my favourite MAC eyeshadow brush. As I wanted my eyelashes to seem bigger, I've been using the Roller Lush massacra from Benefit as it's my favourite right now. (you can also use fake eyelashes)
And to finish my look I'm adding the Bonrjois shimmery lipstick. But I think the best idea for a perfect Christmas look is to use a lipstick in a deep berry or a red shade. Unfortunately I couldn't find mine so I used that one but on actual Christmas Eve I'm gonna be wearing my all time favourite berry lip gloss from Max Factor, and I believe it's called Ravishing Raspberry. 

So that is my christmassy look that I'm gonna be wearing on Christmas day / Christmas Eve this year.


Have a lovely Christmas everyone. :)

Christmas Gift Guide


Hi guys. So today I thought I'd do a post for these that haven't done Christmas shopping yet and don't really have an idea of what to get to people. 


A makeup kit is a great idea for those who love makeup, I think. I would recommend Benefit, because they have lots of great products and lots of different makeup kits. I got this one last year for Christmas, and it's absolutely stunning!




Benefit has lots of great kits that I would like to get or give to somebody. For example:



But if your budget isn't that big, you can find lots of drugstore brands that offer some nice and affordable makeup kits. I would recommend to look for L'oreal, Revlon, Maybeline or Rimmel London, or basically anything you can get in drugstore. 

I also want to mention Tanya Burr's beauty and Zoella's beauty products. This would be a nice gift for a friend that likes YouTubers. 
Tanya has got a new Christmas limited edition of products and kits such as this eyeshadow palette 

This cute kit 

Or this advent calendar 

How adorable! I would like to try those out myself actually.

And also there are some nice products from Zoella beauty, that would be a nice gifts I think.

And an eyeshadow palette would be a great gift too. 
And the Naked Palette from Urban Decay is the best preset I can think of. The colours are stunning, and you can make lots of different looks with it. Tere are 4 different palettes, and all of them came in such a beautiful colours. But my ultimate favourite is the second one. 


But if you don't want to spend that much on it, there is a huge scale of less pricey eyeshadow palettes. I would get my hands on Makeup Revolution London. They offer lots of different types, and the shadows are all so pigmented. I'd say it's a cheaper version of Naked Palette. 

(Excuse the dirty packaging) 



And I think there are lots of eyeshadow palettes on the market right now, so I'm sure it's easy to pick up something nice and good quality. 

Next thing that would be a good gift, is a set with shower or body products. 
I would recommend I love... cosmetics products because they all smell and look so cute and they are seriously affordable, so I think that would make a nice gift for a friend or a family member. 
Here are some examples: 


 And I would also like to mention Soap and Glory, which is my favourite brand, and I'm sure you could get something nice from there. I believe they also offer some sets. 

I think a perfume would be a good idea as well.
There are so many out there, but it can be quite hard to pick up one that smells good and it might be quite hard to estimate into their taste. We don't want them to fling it in the cupboard until the next year, right. 
But for example I personally really like the smell of Calvin Klein perfumes. Most of them smell so nice. 
And if you have a friend that likes some celebrity such as one direction, you could get her a one direction perfume. There are 4 of them and they all smell really nice. 
And I'm also sure that BeyoncĂ© has some perfumes, also Katy Perry has, so I think there are so many options. 

One Direction perfumes:




So that was the easier part of the post, because I have so many ideas of what beauty products should you get. 
But it's so much harder to pick up something for those who don't use makeup. 

Firstly, you have to think about the person that you're buying a gift for. You have to imagine what kind of things do they like, and what would make them happy. 
Which is obviously pretty difficult sometimes. 
But here are some ideas:
A book. This seems easy though, but it's actually so hard. There are so many books out there, so when you want to buy a book for example for your mum, you should know what kind of books she reads to be sure that she's gonna like it. 
There are so many books about fashion too, so I think this would make a nice gift for someone who likes fashion. 
A fashion magazine would be a good idea too. 

I would also recommend to get something from the home section in Urban Outfitters. They have lots of homeware Christmas items as they're just so gorgeous. 
Also maybe a postcards, a couple of notebooks or prints would be a nice present. 
Or maybe a day planner for upcoming year.  
There are so many ideas that I can think of actually. 

So that's probably everything I wanted to mention. Hope it was at least quite helpful and see you next time. :)

Winter Essentials



Hey everyone! So in today's post I decided to talk about winter essentials. Winter is one my favourite seasons and there are so many things that I love about it. So I just wanted to share with you some of my favourite things:) So let's get started.  

Firstly, in winter time, all we want to do is stay cosy, so I absolutely love to wear cosy Christmas sweaters or pyjamas, or basically any warm christmas clothes. So I bought this onesie pyjamas(the one on the right), it looks sooo christmasy, and it's really soft and warm which is great for winter.

Second of all I love to wear fluffy socks in the winter. The ones on the picture are so cute, and so warm and they're from H&M.
If you love fluffy socks, just lets be best friends.

I also have a thing for scarfs, but isn't it the best thing ever when you have to leave for school, and it's freezing and snowing outside, and you're wearing a warm scarf which keeps you warm?! Scarf is literally a lifesaver. And I feel like they really can make an outfit too. And the one on the picture is from Primark. 

Next thing I'm so excited to show you is the hand warmer from Primark. You simply click the metal disk inside the warmer, and it basically gets hot. You can keep it in the pocket of your jacket, and it's gonna keep your hands warm. Plus it's so cute! 



My lips always gets dry during winter, so I always carry around a lip balm or a lip butter with me. The one on the picture is currently my favourite, and it's labello lip butter in strawberry flavour, it keeps my lips hydrated during the day but it smells more summery than wintery, so I'm getting one in different flavour soon. 

And also my hands get dry really quickly in winter time, so use hand creams way more often than in other seasons. Currently I'm loving the I love... Coconut & Cream super soft hand lotion, which is really moisturising and it smells amazing!
And my most favourite thing about winter(also autumn) are candles. They make a room smell so nice and this one that I have, is called sweet vanilla & coconut scented candle, it smells amazingly, but if you're not into sweet candles, this ones isn't for you.

Lastly I want to mention nice smelling body products. 
The first product is called I love Mango & Papaya bubble bath and shower cream.
It smells so christmasy, and the packaging is so cute. And it's really affordable so I'd definitely recommend it.

And the last thing that can't be missing is this cute, christmasy packaging of body mists. There are 3 different flavours: warm vanilla sugar, sugar plum and cinnamon caramel. 

















And if you want to get into that Christmas sprit, don't forget to decorate your room with some lights, and don't forget to order your favourite coffee or hot chocolate (in my case), from Starbucks and yay for those red Christmas cups!

November Favourites



Hello everyone! :)
So today I'm gonna be talking about some things that I've been loving and using a lot in November.
I thought I'd make this kind of 'favourite things' post every single month. 
Honestly in November I haven't tried many new products out, so this is gonna be quite short. 


First of all, I wanna mention Glamour magazine, which is like my all the time favourite. If you've never heard of it before, (I bet you have), but you can find lots of makeup articles or bunch of fashion articles in there. (And Tanya looks absolutely amazing on the cover of this number.)


Next I'd like to show you some hygiene products that I've been using for quite long time actually.

The fist thing is Cussons Carex refreshing hand gel in strawberry flavour. Wherever I go, I always carry around it with me. It's just so handy plus it smells amazingly. And I believe It's from Boots. 
Next I'd like to mention this breath spray from Primark. It's also really handy for a night out, or for a really long day. It smells like a tooth paste, which I don't really like, but I don't mind it because my breath is so much better when I use the breath spray.
And lastly, I always like to carry around wet wipes from H&M with me. They smells quite nice, and you can use them for your hands and for your face too. And the packaging is so cute.

Next product that I've been loving in November is this foundation from H&M beauty. The coverage is absolutely amazing, it also stays on for a really long but I think it's quite heavy, probably not something you could wear daily. I just love foundations that are very light coverage and allow my skin to breath. But I still like this for winter time.

Okay, I'm so excited to tell you about Roller Lash mascara from benefit. I used to absolutely love They're Real mascara, so I didn't really want to buy this one. But I've seen so many good comments about it, so I thought I'd try it out, and seriously, if you are still considering to get it, I'd definitely recommend it. It gives a very lovely and natural fluttery lash. It also amplifies my lashes and it keeps my lashes curled and stays on for so long. It just really makes a difference.





And lastly, for music I'be been loving the new One Direction's album Made In The AM. If you didn't know yet, I'm a huge fan of One Direction, and this album is just perfect! 



So that was everything that I've been loving in November:) Comment below what have you been loving through the month:)

See you next time:)

BTW I'm sooo sorry for uploading it late :(
