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 :(
