What I Got for Christmas 2014

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and got lots of lovely gifts! I know a lot of people (including myself) love knowing what people got for Christmas so this is what today's blogpost is for. I am in no way bragging about my gifts, I'm just simply writing this for those of you who are genuinely interested in reading that type of thing. Most of the things I asked for, I also mainly asked for money to contribute towards a gift that I wanted to buy myself.

Yves Saint Laurent Perfume

I knew I wanted this when I smelt it in a magazine! It just has a really sophisticated, gorgeous scent and the bottle is so pretty as well.

My Life in Pictures: Lincoln Christmas Market, London & Winter Wonderland 2014

I go to university in Lincoln and every year they put on a really amazing Christmas market just up the hill. I love going to it as it always puts me in the most Christmassy mood. A few weeks after this, I also wen to London as it is my favourite place at Christmas time so I was so excited to visit it. We also visited Winter Wonderland as I have always wanted to go. Here are some pictures!

End of Year Favourites

It's nearly the end of 2014 and I am going to be going through my final favourites. Some of these favourites I have loved all year round and some are new discoveries. There will be a mixture of beauty, make-up, clothes and random bits, so sit back and enjoy the read.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

This is a new product which I decided to try out because it was on offer. Previous to this I always used make-up wipes to remove my make-up but found that these didn't really do the job properly and I would always wake up with black under my eyes (not a great look!) I love this so much, it doesn't sting my skin or eyes, it removes your make-up really quickly and actually does it properly! Another bonus is that its a big bottle so it lasts for quite some time.

October Favourites 2014

First of all, I would just to say I'm so sorry that is late and so sorry for the lack of posts recently. Uni work has hit me hard this term but I will try balance it out more, promise! As you read by the title, this is going to be my October favourites post, here are all the products that I have not stopped using or wearing last month.

Soap & Glory Eyebrow 

 

 

I literally lived by this last month. It's double sides so one size is a mini brush that brushes your eyebrow and the other side is the pencil. the tip of the pencil is very fine and makes it really easy to apply, another thing I love it about it is that I don't have to worry about sharpening it. It gives my eyebrows a really natural look. It's also super handy that you have the brush on the other side as that makes it so much easier to tame and shape the brow. I've been using this product every day for over a month now and there's still no sign of it running out!

University Room Tour 2014

First of all, I am so so sorry that I haven't blogged in what feels like forever. I've been meaning to do this post for quite a while now but as I only moved in 2 weeks ago, I've been adding bits to my bedroom and I think I am finally happy with it, for now anyway.

 

Cream Eyeshadow Crazy

Over the last few years, I have kept my eye makeup very simple only adding mascara and eyeliner however, over the past few months I have discovered the beauty of eyeshadows and there is no going back. I'm going to be talking about three eyeshadows that I'm loving at the moment and hopefully this  may inspire some of you to branch out and become a little bit more adventurous with your eye make-up.

A Home Haul

I am going back to University very soon and moving into a new home. Therefore, I thought it was only appropriate that I buy lots of nice things to put into my new room and try to make it feel really homely. I got bits from two shops, Urban Outfitters and B&M, which are at totally different sides of the price spectrum but they both do lovely home things. For my new bedroom, I am trying to go for a vintage/Cath Kidston look which includes lots of pastel colours (mainly pink).
