20th: Benefit Advent Calendar! *Blogmas 2015*

Hello lovelies!

So today's blog post is another door on my advent Calander. Having so few doors left means Christmas is just around the corner!!

Under Today's door was the Benefit Bad Gal Lash. When I first opened the bottle I was rather sceptical. This was because the brush wand was so large. I was worried about putting this too close to my eye because I'd lose my eye. 

  

Anyway I did. That's use it not lose my eye!? One coat of this mascara is all you need. I literally blinked on the wand head and bam I had these bold looking lashes!

I love the name of the mascara because it is so bold it isn't allowed at school. I don't know if that's just me over thinking it and being weird or realisation hitting me. 

I love recommend this mascara to anyone who wants something that is easily applicable and makes your lashes extended and thicker with a blink of an eye. 

Leave a comment below on what mascara you use!

5th: Christmas Wreath Making! *Blogmas 2015*

Hello lovelies,

Today I was going to post another day of my benefit calendar, however I have spent the whole day at a Christmas wreath making workshop and having got home late there is no natural light to take pictures and I'm not going to have time to review and upload a post tonight. However I did take a lot of photos today (but on my iPhone so the quality isn't as good sorry!) so I thought I would share them with you below!

 

That is it for Blogmas day 5… I hope you had a lovely day, feel free to leave a comment below telling me what you did!

2nd: Meeting Joe Sugg and Caspar Lee! *Blogmas 2015*

Hello lovelies!

 

Today is the second of December and I wanted to talk about something that happened on Sunday the 29th of November. I was going to do this on an extra side post but then I thought why not include it in Blogmas!

 

So on Sunday the 29^th of November I ventured into reading with my best-friend Amy! We of course got a McDonalds and headed towards HMV. Here I met my other friend Jess and we joined the queue. I was extremely excited by this point which you can probably imagine.

Everything was going well until it decided that now was a good time to rain. So now we were not only queuing in the cold but also the rain. After queuing for 3 hours we finally got inside into the warm.   

 

Inside there was a buzzing feeling amongst everyone. Another 20 minutes wait and we are extremely close to the front, at this point everyone is screaming because Caspar is running past to go for a wee! If you have me on snapchat then you would have seen this!

 

Anyway... it finally got to my turn to go and hug Joe and Caspar. I won’t bore you with our conversation (even though to me it is extremely special) but I will leave you with the cute pictures that we took! I love the silly one especially because Joe was oinking (is that a word?!) during the picture!

 

I just want to say an incredibly huge thank you to the boys for an amazing day. I absolutely loved meeting you as well as making new friends. Keep doing what you’re doing because you are amazing at it.

 

 

 

 

Thank you so much for tuning into Blogmas day 2, I hope you enjoyed it! My question to you is if you could meet anyone who would it be?

1st: Benefit Advent Calender! *Blogmas 2015*

Hellooo lovelies!

So it is finally December and that means CHRISTMAS. If you read my Q&A post a few days ago then you would know that in December I’m going to open my beauty calendar every other day. The beauty calendar I have this year is the Benefit Limited Edition Party Poppers ( Obviously because it is limited edition it is sold out!). The calendar has 12 windows so I have decided to do one every other day of December.

In the first window was the Benefit ooh la lift. This is a pale pink colour that can highlight under your eyes, however I also used it to accentuate my brow bone. The pictures above do not give the product justice. It has taken away my dark circles and now I look wide awake! It comes on what looks like a lipstick brush, and I just swiped it under my eye and then patted it in with my finger.

I would recommend this product to anyone who has had next to no sleep or just has dark circles! It also says that it will take away puffiness however my eyes weren't puffy so I couldn't test it!

I hope you have enjoyed Blogmas day 1 and will come back tomorrow for a different kind of blogpost!

Leave a comment below on what advent calendar you have whether it is chocolate or candles I'd love to know!

Q to the A!

Hellooo Lovelies!

So the other day on twitter I asked for people to tweet me any questions they have and I will answer them in a blog post! Here goes....

 

When I first saw this tweet I laughed to myself about how unfit I am.. But then I thought about it and I realised that actually I do walk 2 miles to school and home from school 5 times a week. On top of that I am constantly running upstairs and from one side of the school to another, so I do a lot of walking! I guess it helps when keeping fit because I am also a very fast walker. All my friends are constantly telling me to slow down. I guess with confidence about my body I have learnt that everyone is different and we are all special in our own ways. We just have to embrace our flaws and learn to treat them as something special, because not everyone has the same as me.

Maisie Maisie Maisie... the greatest thing about Maisie Wiltshire is that she has amazing taste in friends obviously (have you seen how fab I am gosh!). Of course you have great taste in books. Anyway... Maisie was new in my year at school and I didn't know her at first. Then the other day she DM'd me on twitter and we started to chat and I learnt how funny and kind she is. I speak to Maisie 24/7 now and it just shows how the internet can bring people together!

Because I am rather strange I love spending time with my family when everyone is happy. I feel like it is such a special day when you have a caring family around. Oh and also all the Christmas films, mince pies, Christmas pudding and MULLED WINE (non-alcoholic of course!).

 

I was saying to my mum the other day that I would love to go to Norway and see the northern lights. I think that it would be a truly magical trip. It would be so breathtakingly aesthetic (using my descriptive language from my English course work!). One day I’d defiantly like to go.

One beauty product that I love at the minute would have to be Mac's Matte Lipstick in the shade Velvet Teddy. I picked this up back in October when in Florida after my friend Olivia recommended it. The colour suits anybody. It is a subtle brown/purple colour that is stunning. I love to wear it with a golden brown Smokey eye!

 

 

My favourite film is either Miss Congeniality or Big Hero Six. I love them both for completely different reasons! I love Baymax in Big hero six he is such a hilarious character that I would love to have in my life. I bet he gives good hugs. Also the fact he turns into a heater sounds great in this horrible English weather we have. But then again I love the whole concept of Miss Congeniality were she is a tom-boy cop whose life is turned upside down when she is entered into a pageant to solve a mystery.

This question I was um-ing and arr-ing the answer to. I did Blogmas last year and I was actually quite proud of it not going to lie! This year I was thinking of doing a blog post every day but a chatty one on the first and then alternating days between opening a door on my benefit calendar and sharing with you what’s inside? I thought that this would be a good idea for those who don't have a beauty calendar and are considering it next year and also to see more benefit products! 

I hope you enjoyed this blogpost! If you could only use one make-up product for the rest of your life which would it be?

Blogmas day 14: My current, yet weird obsession!?

HELLO EVERYONEE

ITS 11 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS YAYAYAYA

Today I thought that I would talk to you about something I love doing and that is reading! I am obsessed however with the author Sophie Kinsella. I have loved the 'shopaholic series' type books because they are so easy to read, yet gripping and with such a great use of language!

My current favourite book of hers would obviously be the most recent one which is 'Shopaholic to the Stars'! This book is amazing! It is about Becky Bloomwood going to Hollywood with her husband Luke and Daughter Minnie, on a business trip with likes work. Due to Luke working with A-List celebrities Becky takes this chance to try and become friends with them by getting Minnie in the top nursery and trying to peruse a career as a fashion designer/ assistant. However how will this turn out.... Will Becky succeed?

I really would recommend this book to anyone, but obviously over the age of 13 because otherwise the humour may not be understandable or just because they may not enjoy it! But I love it so I think you all will too!

Overall I would defiantly give this book a 5/5 stars!

Blogmas day 5: Winter skin care routine!

HEELLOOO EVERYONEE!

 

ITS 20, YES 20 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!

 

For day five into December I thought that I should share with you my winter skin care routine! I wear make-up everyday to school ( foundation, mascara, powder e.t.c) and majority of it stays on, which I am very thankful for. However I have to take it all off in the evening before bed, and this is how I do it!

 

Before I take of my make-up I like to make sure my hands are clean to not spread any dirt, and at the minute I am loving the Carex fun edition! I love the colours of this collection and the scents are just divine! My current addiction is the strawberry lace one!

 

So I start of by removing my make-up with cotton wool pads and the Nivea Extra gentle eye make-up remover. I think this is quite good because it takes of your make-up without irritating it, or leaving red marks behind. Also it contains Provitamin B5, and doesn't leave a greasy stain afterwards. However it doesn't remove my Benefit They're real mascara ):

 

Next I take my Liz Earle Hot Cloth, Cleanse and Polish, and I love this! I won't go into detail because I wrote a blog post all about it and you can see it by clicking here!

 

Next I take sudocrem, and I find that this works amazing on any spots because it reduces the size, then turns them into little flaky bits of skin ( I know it sounds disgusting but it works wonders!!) and this then just disappears when I wash my face. I find it also helps if you have little rashes on your skin because while clearing spots it also clears up rashes!

 

I hope that you have liked this post.. I thought why not do something I haven't done yet, so I did! Make sure you follow me on blogger to find out when im posting, if it isn't Blogmas or like me you are nosey and just want to look! You can simply find out any contact information on the tab at the top, and don't hesitate to talk to me and just chat via email if you are in need and wanting to talk to someone.

Blogmas Day 1: what a boring day!

HELLLO EVERYONE

This may be something weird or new to you, but it is a topic called Blogmas! It is basically were I have to try and do a blog post every single day up until Christmas!! So here goes...
