It's Christmas❆

1.  Do you prefer a real Christmas tree or synthetic?

I love real Christmas trees, they just smell of Christmas (whatever Christmas smells like) but I don't think I could deal with the pine needles that fall out so a synthetic one is fine for me.

2.  You're in a coffee shop, it's December, what do you pick?

I've only just started to like coffee and I'm in love with mocha's at the minute but I really want to try Starbucks' Toffee Nut Latte (to taste and just so I can get a cute, red cup!)

3.  Whats your favourite colour scheme for decorating the tree?

In my bedroom I have a mini Christmas tree, the theme in my room is red, gold and white. The tree is white and the baubles are red and gold, I have lots of light up things in my room too. I even made my own little decoration (picture on the left!), it's a usual mason jar filled/sprayed with fake snow with a light up Christmas tree inside and finished off with a lace bow. It's a cute little DIY craft project to do for Christmas and it looks so sweet in my room.

4.  Giving or receiving?

Obviously it's lovely to receive presents but I enjoy giving them out too! I love writing the Christmas list of what you're getting everybody then ticking them off as you buy, wrapping them up and then giving them out. It's my chance to be Santa haha!

5.  To mince pie or not to?

No, no, no! I don't like the look/smell/taste of them, although I've not long discovered that it's not mincemeat as in proper meat it's actually fruits! (I lack in the common sense department) 

6.  What's your traditional Christmas lunch?

Our usual Christmas dinner includes Turkey, roast potatoes, parsnips, sprouts, carrots (ew), mash, stuffing, broccoli + cauliflower (we call them trees in our house) and pigs in blankets. Then we always have After Eight chocolates in the middle of the table, so we have a couple of them for dessert (rebelling against eating them after eight ooo).

7.  Christmas day fashion?

Each year we all wear our new clothes that we got for Christmas (Mum usually buys us an outfit) but this year we've gone for a theme that we're all going to wear Christmas jumpers. Mine is from Primark and was £12, it says 'I <3 Santa' on it and is super cosy. I got mine in a size bigger so that it's slouchy and more comfortable for Christmas day and I'm just going to pair it with some basic leggings and fluffy socks.

8.  What's your favourite Christmas song?

Oh my god I absolutely love Christmas songs, I don't think I could pick a favourite! I've just got the 'Now That's What I Call Christmas!' CD, and it has all the best Christmas songs to get me in the festive spirit. I've already wrapped my presents up and I put the CD on whilst doing them, and whilst I was decorating my Christmas tree.

9.  What's your favourite Christmas film?

I have a few... In our house all the Home Alone's have to be watched about 1000 times near Christmas, you can't beat Elf either 'the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear'! Each year on Christmas Eve, my family cosy up with the fire on in the living room in our new PJ's and watch a new Christmas film (we buy a new one each year). My mum and brothers love 'Nativity' so I think this years Christmas Eve film will be 'Nativity 2'.

10.  Open presents before or after lunch?

Who opens them after lunch? That's far too much waiting!! It's also my birthday on Christmas Day so I have my Christmas presents in the morning with my family and then after I'm full to the brim from my Christmas dinner, I open my birthday presents.

Christmas is my favourite time of year and I get WAY too excited for it...

I tag everyone who loves Christmas, if that's not you- BAH HUMBUG!

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy the holidays:)

W7 Professional Brush Set Review

I fancied some online shopping on Amazon and I came across these brushes, they are W7's Professional Brush Set which include 12 different brushes. The set was £3.49 (excluding P&P) so I wondered whether they'd actually be any good, and surprisingly they are for the price!

L to R- Eyebrow Comb and Brush, Brow Spool, Sponge Applicator, Lip Brush, Large Squared Liner Brush, Angled Liner Brush, Fan Brush, Small Flat Shader, Medium Flat Shader, Large Flat Shader, Small Powder Brush, Large Powder Brush.

They come in a smart, leather roll so makes it easier to store them or take them on your travels.













I hate when brushes shed but these haven't as yet and don't look like they will, they're also really soft which I wasn't expecting when I see the price.

I'm quite chuffed with this little purchase, it could've done with a soft crease brush and maybe a foundation brush to make it even better but for £3.49 you can't really complain.

I'd recommend this set for anyone who's just starting to build up their makeup collection, it's a great start and a fab alternative to more expensive brushes like Real Techniques and Mac.

Thankyou for reading!

November Favourites

I'm not even kidding, this year is going WAY too fast and the year is almost over...

I love sharing my monthly favourites with you but they're coming round too quick now!

This month I have a few new products that I've been loving :)

Makeup Brushes

First is my W7 Professional Brush Set which I will do a review on soon. My favourite brush out of the set has to be the Angled Liner Brush because it can be used for my eyebrows and used to apply gel liner to the top/bottom of the eyes to create a thin, precise line.




I'm also loving my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush.This brush is ultra soft and great for really buffing in your foundation, I find that their Expert Face Brush is quite similar to their Buffing Brush so if I am deep cleaning one, I'll use the other. Price: £8.99







Hair Products



I though I'd try something new because my Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner has run out so I purchased Inecto's Shampoo and Conditioner, in my opinion the two products (Inecto and Argan Oil) work equally well and both leave my hair feeling soft and manageable.








I have a thing for having sets of products so I wanted to try their Dry Shampoo too, it works fine and leaves the hair feeling and smelling lush! However, it doesn't last very long as I have to use a lot of product each time  I use it for it to work properly.






Foundation 




I've changed my foundation back to Rimmel's Match Perfection because I found Rimmel's Wake Me Up foundation to be more summery and shimmery for Winter time. Price: £6.99







Concealer

I've heard alot of people talk about Collection's Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer and wow I know what they mean, it covers blemishes and dark under eye circles so well! Price: £4.19




Powder




Another product lots of other bloggers/YouTubers have been raving about is Rimmel's Stay Matte Powder, it stops any unwanted shine and makes the skin look great. Price: £3.99







Eyeliner



MUA's gel eyeliner has also landed on my favourites this month because I find it looks great on the eyelids and I absolutely love it. It comes with a thin brush which works absolutely fine with it but I prefer to use my W7 Angled Liner Brush! Price: £3






Thankyou for reading, and I'm going to try post more often I've just been SUPER busy lately:)
