The Perfect Makeup Choices For Christmas Day

In three days time, yes you heard me correctly, it will be Christmas! How this year has flown by so quickly I'll never know - just the fact that 2017 will be here in a little over a week and I feel as though 2016 started about two months ago is quite simply crazy to me. But heigh ho! As Christmas Day begins to roll around, one thing on my mind is sadly "what makeup will I choose to wear" and whilst I've been sporting much more festive makeup in recent weeks, I decided to pull out some of the items I could very likely be using on Christmas Day itself to show each and every one of you.

I've also filmed a Christmas makeup routine video which will be making an appearance on my YouTube channel tomorrow - so keep your eyes peeled! These products were all used in that video, so you'll be able to see a true representation of how everything really looks when all put together! But no spoilers today!

Battle of the Liquid Lipsticks

Over the last few years it's safe to say that makeup brands have branched out from the usual lipsticks and lip glosses into many other alternatives such as lip crayons and lip laquers. Over I'd say the past year, something that I've seen many more brands releasing are their own "liquid lipsticks", and being the lip product obsessed girl I am, I obviously knew I had to try some. Two that most certainly caught my attention were the L'Oreal L'Extraordinaire liquid lipsticks and the Maybelline Colorsensational Elixir's, which are also marketed as liquid lipsticks too!

Drugstore Makeup Haul ft. Maybelline & Revlon!

 

So after saying to myself that I was going to be good this month and spend absolutely no money on unnecessary clothes and makeup, I can safely say that this has pretty much gone tits up...

Sometimes when I have a little time to spare whilst at uni, I always somehow seem to end up in Boots, Superdrug or some clothing store, and then my purse just magically appears whilst I'm waiting at the checkouts with too much stuff in my hands...how does this always happen?!

 

I have been picking up both beauty and fashion items, however in this post I'm simply going to just show you the makeup products I picked up - if you want to see what fashion items I picked up, make sure to watch my new haul video at the end! Before getting started, I'd also like to apologise for the lack in posts this week. I've had a lot to deal with these past two weeks, but now as I have some spare time, I'm here again!!

Christmas Makeup / The 12 Days of Blogmas #7

As it's finally setting in that it's is so close, I've been thinking about how to do my makeup on Christmas Day. I decided to go for a relatively simple look as I'm only spending the day with my family, but because it's Christmas I had to make sure that I had a bold red lip! Obviously it might be possible that I won't be using every single item listed on the day, but so far this is what I can definitely image myself using...most if not all of these products will be used! It does depends if I get some makeup on the day though.

 

Winter Beauty Essentials / The 12 Days of Blogmas #5

 

As the colder months approach, I tend to lean towards different beauty products than those I would've relied on a couple of months ago. It's apparent that with the colder months comes drier skin, a higher chance of getting a cold and obviously a change in the beauty trends, so here are some of my beauty essentials to help me battle through this season!

Mini Makeup Haul!

On a few different shopping trips I've been needing to pick up a few different beauty items, which thankfully I've been able to find...however as usual I did get pulled in by some pretty great deals as well, oops! I've also purchased some clothing items recently as well, but I thought it would be best to do two separate hauls instead, so this is quite a small haul really.

 

Review // Is The Baby Skin Primer Any Good??

 If you've seen my most recent haul (which was all the way back in April), you may have seen that I picked up the Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Primer from Maybelline. I'd been wanting to try it since it was released and after seeing mixed reviews from different blogs I wasn't 100% sure whether to purchase it or not, but I eventually grabbed it after a recent 2-for-1 deal at Boots.

 



This may be somewhat different to any reviews you've previously seen on this product as I've noticed that a lot of people reviewing this primer have been comparing it to Benefit's POREfessional, but as this happens to be the first primer I've ever tried, this review will in no way be compared to any others out there and for anyone who's never tried a primer before, this review may be in some way more useful to you!

Review // Maybelline's Better Skin Foundation

 

So looking at this photo you may be wondering why I have a tester instead of a normal bottle of foundation. I didn't steal it from the store just in case you were wondering; I have this because recently Maybelline were giving away free samples of their new foundation online. So because I'd been wanting to try this for a while, I took this as a chance to test it out and see if I should actually buy the full size. And I'm so glad I did because I hate it!!

HAUL // Getting Ready For Spring

Hello Everyone!

This weekend I decided to pop out shopping - so much for the spending ban I said I'd have not long ago...ooops. To be honest though, I needed a few essentials for Spring and Summer which I managed to get a few of, although I did come back with some things I didn't exactly need...oh well. This is a pretty small haul but I couldn't resist showing you my new things and make sure to tell me if you like/have tried anything below!

 

The Best Of Beauty 2013!

Hello Lovelies!

 

Now I know this is a bit late to be posting this, but I thought as it's still only January and since I have only just started my blog, this would be a suitable first ever beauty post for my blog.

 

 

I decided on 6 make up products to include in this post, all which were purchased and tried for the first time last year and even better 5 of them are drugstore products (or high street here in the UK), HURRAY!!!
