Winter favourites

I'm a bit rubbish at monthly favourites as there aren't enough new products that I use each month. I've decided to do a winter favourites so here it is! 

My sleek original palette is just so handy, the pigmentation is amazing and its only £6! I've mostly been using the greens and the browns.
Hugo Boss Deep Red perfume mmmmm I love this smell sooo much. It's sweet but has that dark and classic kick. 
I'm back to my lighter shade of foundation :( :( so I'm back to using Max Factor Xperience in Beige Linen. This consistency is so good and it goes on very well.
Two lipsticks; Nyx Eros which is just a simple bright red lipstick. Its so creamy and moisturising. The next product is my Max Factor Colour Elixir in Mulberry I did a blog post about this and it is such a perfect winter shade. A nice dark but not too dark red.


Non beauty related:
Spy films in particular Angelina Jolie films. I have never been so into spy films ever, I watched the Tourist last week and I'm in love with Angelina Jolie, why can't I be her?
Something From Tiffany's by Melissa Hill book: This is a good ole' festive book. Set in New York and I love it. I'm yet to finish it, but I will be so sad once I do. 


Hope you are all having a lovely Winter!

Barry M baby

So it would be fair to say that the other day I went on a splurge at the Barry M section in Superdrug. They have such nice pretty colours though, I just couldn't resist. Do I need more nail varnish's? Nope. But a girl can have as many nail varnish's as she wants right? (Well that's what I tell myself anyway). I bought 4 nail varnish's; Foil 320, Raspberry 273, Dusky Mauve 313, Black 47.  I always find Barry M nail varnish not to have the best staying power but the colour range makes up for it! I will be wearing the Gold Foil on Christmas Day, not long left eeeeeeek!

Christmas Time (Misltetoe and Wine!)

Sorry for the cheesy title although I do quite like that song. Well I love any Christmas song, but not as much as i LOVE Christmas as a whole. There are a few things I'm looking forward to this Christmas and sadly a few things that I'm not.


I'm looking forward to this Christmas to:

• Spend quality time with family :)
• Eat as much as I possibly can!
• Give and open presents
• The cosy nights watching rubbish TV
• And relaxing.

I'm not looking forward this Christmas to:

• Revising! I have exams in January so I will be revising hard. I hate school and exams :(
• The cold and snow
• And the dark nights

Christmas is my favourite time of the year, and seeing as I missed it last year being bed bound with the worst flu I have ever had, I hope I will be well this Christmas! I will be spending it at my grandparents with all of my family and I can't wait!

What are you doing this Christmas?

Eye of the Tiger

I'm a bit of a bore when it comes to eye makeup. I do like to focus on my eyes when applying make up. However, I'm ashamed to say I'm stuck in a routine and rarely change what I do with my eye make up. Boringgggg.... I know, but what can I say? I'm a sucker for routines and regimes.

Liner, lashes and eyeshadow are the three words I go by. I like to volumise my lashes, making them big and glamorous. I always line my lashes, sometimes even with a flick. And I use an eyeshadow to give my eyelids depth and definition.

Here are the 3 main products I can not live without!

1) Max Factor False Last Effect Fusion: I love this mascara! It makes my lashes so big and beautiful. I really need to get a new one as sadly this one has dried up :(

2) L'Oreal Paris Super Liner Carbon Gloss: This is one of the best liquid liner I have ever tried. It's a good price at £6. I do like gel eyeliner in particular Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner. However, I just find liquid eyeliner easier to use when I'm in a rush in the morning (which I normally am!).


3) Mac Espresso Eyeshadow: Neutral colours always work best on me. I really like espresso, it's quite a dark brown so is perfect for the crease.




I will try and change up my make up this winter- I promise! But until then I will be using these life saving products!
