Some of My Christmas Gfts!!

Welcome everybody!

Today I will be sharing with you an overlook of a few gifts I received this Christmas. I am sure most of you understand that I am not trying to brag or boast in any shape or form. I am so very grateful for everything I got and that's why I want to share it with you all today!! 

   

Not only does this shampoo and conditioner from The Body Shop smell amazing of fresh bananas, it works super well on my hair! I would definitely repurchase this!

I was lucky enough to to receive this trio of lovely body mists from Jack Wills in a class Secret Santa! My favourite is Hope Cove (one on the far right)

I also got this set of Jack Wills lip crayons which are really pigmented and is a nice selection of colours and shades!

 Another I got from Jack Wills is this makeup brush set. I love the pattern of the little pouch it comes with to keep the brushes inside and I really like the brushes too!

I got another set of three perfumes from Benefit which smell amazing!! And the names are really quirky! 

I was lucky enough to get another They're Real mascara (also from Benefit). It is by far my favourite mascara ever as it brings volume and the appearance of length and isn't lumpy.

The last but certainly not the least thing I am going to show you today is this set which contained Benefit's Posie Tint and Posie Balm and Bene Balm and Bene Tint! I love the pigmentation of both of these shades and the application from the liquid tint and the balm is really easy! 

The Posie Tint and Balm are more pinky whereas the Bene Tint and Balm is more red. And what's not to love about a 2-in-1? You can use them as lip or cheek stain!

LUSH Frozen Bath Bomb

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/14582803/?claim=6z228rramem">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>

I love bath bombs from Lush especially the festive range! On cold, icy nights it's great to hop into a bath with a swirling explosion of colours through the warm water! I used the Frozen Bath Bomb recently and of course it wasn't a let down. 

When I put the bath bomb into the bath it made the water and mix of light and dark blues and shimmering whites. To me it seemed as if it had quite a gentle, subtle scent but I did think it was fresh and possibly even fruity. Of course it was a very photogenic bath bomb!!

As it was quite a big bath bomb, it took some time to finish fizzing, but, when it did, the bath had turned a wonderful shade of dark blue. I then realised that there was millions of glittering sparkles, catching in the light, floating in the water! I did think it might be awful to get rid of the sparkles at the end but it wasn't too bad I must say. 

The Frozen bath bomb did not make bubbles due to the fact that it is not a Bubble Bar, but, as usual, it left my skin feeling super smooth and moisturised. It was really relaxing and definitely worth it and I would purchase this one again!

Festive Haul!!!

Hello everybody!!

Today I went shopping and i decided to buy a few Christmassy items!

From top shop I bought some plain black jeans.  These jeans were £38 and I do think sometimes Top Shop jeans are pretty expensive but I think they also really fashionable but yet soft and comfortable. 

I also paid a visit to Lush where I bought two festive bath bombs and got two samples of their new Toothy Tabs. I purchased the Butter Bear bath bomb  and the frozen bath bomb. 

The Butterbear bath bomb smells rather nice and is super adorable. That bath bomb is white on the outside but I'm not sure what colour it is going to dye my bathwater so I'll just have to wait and find out when I use it. Whereas, the Frozen bath bomb is a mixture of light blues and dark blues and has some sparkles through it too. This one has a more fruity scent which I also really like! 

I managed to receive samples of the Boom and Miles of Smiles toothy tabs, they are basically an alternative to your average toothpaste. Miles of Smiles smells like mint and the Boom is gunpowder, which I believe means tea. Boom also includes charcoal which is meant to be great for removing stains off of your teeth. I am excited to try these out! 

Next stop: The Body Shop!!!!

I had such a great and enjoyable time whilst I was in The Body Shop. In the end I only picked up two items but I really love them so much and I cant wait to use the shimmer mist throughout this festive period!  I adore their Christmas smells, especially the glazed apple. I couldn't resist not to buy a glazed apple hand cream; so I didn't. In case you didn't know I love the handcream is from The Body Shop,  so I really like this one too. I instantly fell in love with the frosted plum shimmer mist, so again I had to buy this too!! There are so many options for Christmas gift ideas in The Body Shop which most are really inexpensive and they're great for secret Santas! 

Thank you!!!!

Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas!!

I honestly can't believe it's November already!! This year has flown by so quickly!! As now we only have two months left in 2015, it's time to start preparing for Bonfire Night (5th of November) and (in my opinion) most important of all... CHRISTMAS!!! There are still 54 days until Christmas, but I'm sure those days will go passed really fast! However, last night was of course Halloween. We still sort of celebrate Halloween in the UK but not as much as some other countries such as America. I did go out with my friend trick-or-treating but only for a short period of time as it was freezing! 

Halloween Night!!

I decided I was going to dress up as a zombie or something similar, but in the end the makeup screamed zombie to me but unfortunately the outfit didn't really. I aimed more for the warm and cosy costume rather than scary as it was only about 10 degrees Celsius. I got inspired to be a zombie by AnderasChoice and Sarocha B; both fabulous you tubers. So if you want to see a step-by-step tutorial on how to achieve the makeup, check out those 2 you tubers above in bold. I practised doing the cut the night before and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Probably because it doesn't have to be neat as it is a large slit wound and you can just drench it in fake blood to make it look more creepy. I know the pictures aren't great quality as they were taken with my phone, but I hope to invest in a new camera. 

Bonfire Night!!

This is celebrated on the 5th November so in the next few days. We celebrate Bonfire Night because of the failed attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London by a group of people including a man named Guy Fawkes. People light all colours of fireworks from parks, beaches or back gardens. Sparklers are also a big hit too!! Most cities throughout the UK host large, brightly coloured firework displays. Make sure to stay safe and keep your furry friends inside!!! 

CHRISTMAS!!

Christmas is one of favourite times of the year. I think that giving and receiving gifts makes up a small percentage of Christmas. Of course I am super grateful on receiving gifts, but I love being with my family most of all and we have to remember why we celebrate Christmas. I thoroughly enjoy listening to Christmas music throughout the festive month, especially when wrapping gifts for others. I like the classic, popular Christmas songs as well as the more modern ones too. I love planning what gifts to get my family and wrapping them. I like wrapping presents so much, I find it really fun and it never hurts to play some Christmas songs in the back ground! I know some creative ways to wrap gifts too! I'm super excited for the lead up to Christmas and of course the actual day too! 

Good bye!!!!!!

The Body Shop is Amazing!!!!

This is my first video post and I know it's not great quality but if I do more, hopefully they will improve.

I love The Body Shop a lot. One of my many favourite products would be the hand creams. I currently own two of the hand creams; a strawberry scented one and a coconut scented one which, unfortunately, as I preferred that one more, has almost run out! 

After washing my hands, they always feel dry which I really do not like so I love to have a trusty hand cream to remoisturise and hydrate my hands. Out of all the hand creams which I've tried, The Body Shop hand cream has to be my favourite. After applying the cream, hands feel no longer feel dry and they are super soft and smooth.

I must mention the travel-friendly size! It can fit easily into your handbag so you can take wherever you go including on aeroplanes as it won't get confiscated at security!

Other hand-creams have left my hands feeling greasy or "damp" however, for me, I've never encountered this situation with The Body Shop Hand cream. 

There are lots of other scents to choose from. Example: honey mania, mango, satsuma and Shea e.t.c 

I also like the price; £4. You may be able to find cheaper moisturisers but I prefer The Body Shop.
(At the time of writing this, the hand creams are on sale for £2.40)

Thank you, see you soon!
