Victoria's Secret Christmas Sales Haul!

This is the last haul that I will be doing with the Christmas Sales, I eventually received my parcel from Victoria's Secret and yes it was definitely a bag full of goodies! The only downside to this order was having to pay the Shipping and Taxes as it was sent over from America however I still managed to get some amazing deals in the sale. They had underwear from £4.99 down to £2.99 so I managed to grab around 10 pairs of these and can I say these are the best I have ever worn!! I don't know why I haven't had these sooner I have definitely being missing out on these.

I picked up a jumper from PINK! which was just a thin plain white jumper that said "GO PINK OR GO HOME" on the back with "PINK NATION" printed just on the front on the left hand side, this is the most comfiest jumper ever just to have as a lounge around. I did pick up another jumper when I went into Victoria's Secret just after my birthday and got a coral jumper which says "Victoria" across the front - this again is another comfy lounge about jumper but you could probably get away with going out in these if you needed to quickly go to the shops.

The sleepshirts which Victoria's Secret do are amazing quality and are so nice to sleep in they don't stick to you and you have more than enough room in them to move about. I picked up two one which was the classic pink and white stripes that had "Angel Victoria's Secret" on the front and another one which was hot pink that had "I look best undressed" printed on the front. Then I got a PJ set which was a 3/4 length sleeve top which says "LOVE VICTORIA'S SECRET" on it which had matching shorts to go with it. All of these had 50% off and if you know Victoria's Secret you know how pricey it can be in there so this was definitely a good purchase.

Online I got one of the classic PINK dog ornaments which everyone seems to have I got the small gold foil one which has black PINK all over it to stick with my theme in my room, and finally I got a vest which just says Victoria's Secret on the front it is a racer back style on the back and is quite oversized as well making it ideal sleepwear or loungewear.

I have definitely had a Victoria's Secret hole in my life which is now filled and will definitely be going back! I can't believe I have not had this in my life until now.
I can't show you a lot of these products as they have been worn and in the wash, so I apologise for the lack of pictures. But I will try get a few images off the website to show you.

Have you grabbed any good bargains from Victoria's Secret? Let me know in the comments!

Gwen Stefani Urban Decay Limited Edition Palette!

I have always loved Urban Decay for eye shadows they're always so pigmented and are so easy to work with. I have an undying love for my Naked palettes which are an essential in my make up collection. But when I saw the Gwen Stefani palette and it immediately caught my eye from the colours which have been put in this palette are all golds, nudes and browns which are my go to colours with two colours which are perfect for a pop of colour.

The packaging for this palette is amazing! You can feel the quality in it with it having a magnetic lock on it and the metal casing for it. You can tell this is Gwen Stefani's from the style of it from them being inspired from her love of black and white graphic prints and antique gold accents which really does reflect in this packaging. You can tell that your money is well spent and that it has been made really well. I managed to pick mine up from FeelUnique during the Black Friday Sales for only £36! This palettes price is £40 which for some people it is pretty expensive but again you pay for what you receive which you definitely won't be disappointed in this purchase!

So let's have a look at the palette...

The shades in this palette are creamy with a velvet texture to them aswell as being easy to apply, you can really build up the colour to get either a intense colour or just a subtle shade of colour. These eyeshadows really relate to Gwen Stefani's looks as she usually does go for a nude eye and sometimes a pop of colour which explains the pink and blue which are in the palette. Three of the shades in this palette are from Urban Decay's Collection and the other 12 are brand new. There is quite a mix up in the shades from some being matte and some being shimmery. All the colours work well together so you can either create day looks and then simply darken these up with the darker colours to make it a night look. The pictures don't do the palette any justice on how amazing these shades are.

(L-R. Blonde, Bathwater, Skimp, Steady, Punk)

(L-R. Baby, Anaheim, Stark, Zone, Serious)

(L-R. Pop, Harajuku, Danger, 1987, Blackout)

Even though I don't think I will use the pink and blue shades as much I will try my hardest to use them because they are amazing! I was pretty surprised when I swatched these I was expecting them to be pretty bright which the pink isn't it's a subtle baby pink with flecks of shimmer in it - which I think I will be able to incorporate this into some looks the blue however I still need to think about that, but it would be amazing for a night out!

I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is even considering buying it because with it only being limited edition you don't want to miss out and then regret not getting it because I know I would if I didn't get it. Want to grab one for yourself? Check it out here.

My MAC Experience!

I have always wanted to try a MAC foundation but the one thing that always scared me about MAC was the wide variety of shades they have and finding the right one for me, I didn't want to just buy it online and it end up being the wrong shade for me I know you can get a refund or an exchange but that takes too much time.

From hearing so many stories about people going into MAC and being matched up to the wrong shade but the artist being persistent that it's the right one, this did make it seem very daunting for me as I am quite awkward when it comes to being in MAC or places similar to that where you need to interact with them. I decided to go when it was later in the night so it wasn't as busy so I knew that I could definitely see a MAC artist when in the shop.

The MAC worker that helped me was incredible she made me feel so comfortable when I was there and I was just expecting her to do a quick test on my skin and that was it. But to my surprise I ended up walking out of MAC with a full base done! I got to try some products out that I had always wanted to try such as the MAC Strobe Cream and some new products that I would never have thought to try.

The things I purchased from MAC; 

- Pro Longwear Foundation in NW15

- Mineralize Concealer in NW15

- MAC Strobe Cream

- Prep + Prime Beauty Balm in Amber

If you have been wanting to try a MAC foundation but like me you're scared of getting the wrong colour I would 100% recommend going in to your nearest MAC and getting matched it's honestly worth it. You get to try new products and learn some new tips and tricks on how to do your make up!

What are your best buys from MAC? Let me know in the comments.

December Favourites!

December for me I haven't really had time to try out many new products, it's been more of a reaching for old products which I haven't used for what feels like years! This month there isn't much for make up it's more lifestyle bits such as YouTubers and Music but of course there is some beauty and skincare. So lets get on with it!

My Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics Palette I got this around the start of 2015 and never really saw much of a love for it, but recently I have been using this for a quick everyday look by using only 3 shades in this. When I first invested in a Naked Basics I had the hard decision of which one to go for as I heard that the difference between them both was that one was more warm toned and the other cool toned. I eventually went for the Naked 2 Basics but after regaining my love for this product over the past month I may have to get the first Naked Basics in the future.

The three colours which I think make a lovely everyday look is Stark all over the lid, Primal or Cover in the crease and then Skimp on the centre and inner of my eye and on my brow bone. If you are after a simple matte palette which doesn't have too many shades but you can use them all together then this is definitely for you!

Clinique Anti Blemish Cleansing Foam and Clarifying Lotion I have always wanted to have a skincare routine which I would love and for me it has taken me a while to find products which do actually work for me. Clinique for me I see them as skin experts I have heard nothing but good things about their products. So I thought I would give this a go and I am so glad I did! This has helped to clear my skin up amazingly they do have other types which you can get it's all down to what you want from the product.

I got the Anti Blemish ones. The cleansing foam is amazing at removing make up and just making your face feel refreshed, I then used the clarifying lotion and when I first used this it did make my skin tingle but to me if something makes your skin tingle then it must be working? I continued to use this same routine for weeks and my skin is now cleared up! The tingling only happened on the first time me using the lotion. I would recommend this to anyone if they're wanting to try out a new skincare routine or if you're prone to spots this is definitely going to be worth a go as it is suitable for all skin types too.

Justin Bieber's Purpose Album this has been on repeat for me ever since it came out. I definitely think this is one of my favourite albums by Justin, I was never a major fan of his other stuff but to me this album is slaying! The music on there to me I feel like it's a lot more grown up compared to his older stuff which yes it was good but not my favourite. Some of my favourite songs on this album are Sorry, Love Yourself, The Feeling, Get Used To It and so many more I actually like them all. But Justin has definitely made a come back!

As you can see in the first picture there is a Landon Tyler candle, I have never heard of this brand before but this candle is amazing I especially love the Blackberry Souffle one as it isn't too strong but you can still smell it. I got this at a cheap price too as the retail price of these is insanely pricey. You can see from the packaging it comes in that it's expensive or has the expensive look to it. Definitely going to be trying a lot more of these scents out!

I have never mentioned any YouTubers in my favourites but Emily Canham and Jake Boys have been by far one of my favourites this month, actually for the past year they have been a favourite of mine. They do Vlogs and Main Channel videos, Emily is goals she is soo pretty and I wish I had the skills she does when it comes to make up. She is one YouTuber who's opinion I take on board when it comes to products to try in the future. Jake on the other hand is a lot more funnier with his videos he does. If you are wanting smaller YouTubers to watch I definitely recommend them! They put so much work into their videos and deserve so much more recognition for their hard work! I will link their channels below.

What I Got For My Birthday!

So a few days after Christmas it was my birthday and with me trying to split these up as I do have a few hauls to do I have done this a little while after just so you aren't bombarded with hauls. I haven't been able to take pictures of everything I got because a lot of it has been put away but the things I had to hand I have taken a picture of. I was s grateful for everything I received from my friends and family and I am not trying to brag in anyway.

Viktor & Rolf BonBon Perfume - my mum and dad have heard me go on about this perfume ever since we went on holiday this perfume has been a scent that I have needed to own, it was the first one I picked up in the airport and it was a winner and from then on I have loved it. The only downside the price so I had put off buying it myself for so long until I opened this on my birthday, to me it's your typical girly smell which pretty much sums me up when it comes to perfumes. The bottle is also a win giving it that girly edge with it being the shape of a bow with the small detailed tag which has the brand name on.

2016 Home Leeds Rhinos Shirt - I didn't expect this at all but I haven't had a new shirt the past few years and this was a complete surprise it wasn't something I asked for but I did really like the design of it. I got this from my sister along with a few pairs of again more pug socks and unicorn socks which I LOVE!

From one of my bestfriends I received the Zoella Bath Bombinis which I love! Especially the jars they come in because they can be used for so many different things. She also got me a MAC voucher which me receiving that on my birthday was just the best thing ever but it also proves how well she knows me because she knows that I will definitely use this! I was going to put myself on a spending ban with make up but I can't just leave a MAC voucher sat there can I? hahaha!

Another one of my bestfriends got me an Olaf money bank which for me is just the best thing ever because I was looking for a money box and what better timing to receive one of these! Especially when it was an Olaf one because all my friends know how much I love Frozen.Along with this he got me a pug calender which again all of my friends know I love pugs so this again was amazing to receive and some biscuits which of course I love tea and what makes tea better is biscuits mmm!

I also received more Frozen related items from my bestfriend which was lights and chocolates, along with this she got me a Pug tumbler which I love and now use on a regular basis! I had gone on about my new love for beauty blenders to my friend and she bought me the Real Techniques 2 pack which I can now say I have enough beauty blenders to last me a good few years! Finally I got a Make Up Revolution Lip Lacquer in the shade 'More Than I Could Give' which is a gorgeous nude/pink shade which again is a favourite colour of mine which I like to wear.

That is all my presents which I received from my friends and family for my birthday along with money that I received from other family members which I put to good use in the sales hahaha! I am thankful for everything I received from everyone and had an amazing birthday! I am thinking about doing a post on the place I went with maybe a few pictures etc. Let me know if you would like that?

Happy New Year!!

We are now in 2016 and of course like everyone does we all make New Years Resolutions, I have never been one to do them as I just find I never stick to them apart from the silly ones like not eating chocolate etc. But this year I have given myself a few. 

One of my main resolutions this year is just to be a lot more confident and go out of my comfort zone a lot more which I have started to do a little more as 2015 was coming to an end, I just feel that once I do a lot more things which I would never have seen myself doing, I will become more confident instead of keeping it all held back. I have managed to learn to cope with a lot of things in 2015 and knowing that I am now in a more stable place I think it should all hopefully be up hill from here!

Regarding my blog since I started doing this I have really been enjoying it but I feel that I still have a lot more to give and put into it, so I'm going to try and be more consistent with posts and create a schedule which I will stick to! So from now on I will be posting at 5pm every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. I could add throw in a few more every so often depending on how I feel. 

This is only a short post for today and my first one of 2016! I hope you all had an amazing 2015 and brought in the New Year surrounded by your friends and family! and I hope that 2016 brings you all luck and happiness you deserve!!

Don't forget to look back on all the achievements you made through 2015 and whether it has been good or not, make sure that 2016 is your year!!

What I Got For Christmas 2015!

So Christmas is over and we all have to start getting back into the swing of things, so while I have time off work I thought I'd put that little bit extra into my blog. I know I abandoned it for just over a week but it was Christmas and I just got so busy.

Am I the only one that enjoys watching 'What I Got For Christmas' videos or blog posts? Well I am going to do my very first one! I am so grateful for all the gifts I received from my family and friends I didn't ask for anything in particular it was mainly just odd bits but everything was by far amazing!! I won't link what I got but if there is anything you want to know about in particular just leave a comment and I will get back to you. I know I am quite late to be doing one of these but oh well better now then never!

This year from my parents I didn't really give them much help as I didn't really want anything, I think from getting older and having a job I would rather just buy it myself instead of them spending their money on me. This did however make it a bit more exciting for me on Christmas because it was basically all down to what they thought I would like/use.

From my mum, dad and sister I got;

- Liz Earle Botanical Skincare Set

- Yankee Candle Wax Melt Burner and Melts

- Pug Socks and pillows

- Frozen Olaf potato head 

- Real Techniques Brushes

- Small Bits which were stocking fillers.

My friends got me;

- Chocolates and Wine

- Yankee Candles

- Zoella Bath Bombinis
- Tanya Burr Nail Kit

- Bluebird Tea Company 

- Pug Tea infuser

- Liz Earle Special Edition Cleanse Polish

One of my friends did a really sweet thing which was to have all the presents in a box and then there was little notes on them which you needed to open in a certain order, to me it's things like this which makes opening presents a lot more meaningful and fun! From opening my presents it actually shows me how well people know me as you can guess I do love Pugs and Olaf which is why I received so much. I am very grateful for all of my presents but I thought I would keep this short and sweet because a lot of my next posts are going to be small hauls, as you all know the Christmas Sales were amazing this year and I definitely got A LOT!

I will be doing a Christmas Sales Haul Post and a What I Got For My Birthday Haul as this was on the 27th! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas or if you don't celebrate Christmas I hope you had a lovely day! Happy New Year and Wishing You All The Best For 2016!!!

December GlossyBox Rose Gold Edition!

Sorry that I haven't been really active the past week but I have been really busy at work and been suffering a lot with my tooth, I honestly didn't think a wisdom tooth would hurt this much but hopefully I will have it sorted tomorrow. Anyway lets move on to the more important thing here my December Glossy Box.

This month's box was a collaboration with Really Ree who brought out the Rose Gold Edit of GlossyBox. The design of the box this month is just gorgeous it's rose gold with white detailing which gives off the effect of snow. The front and back of the box has two phrases which are ' Let's Celebrate' and ' Let It Snow' which are also rose gold to go with the box. It is definitely one of my favourites by far, more for the fact I do love rose gold hahaha!

Onto the contents of this months box;

Etre Belle Golden Skin Caviar Eye Roll On £30.66 - I have never heard of the Etre Belle brand, but you can tell straight away that it is a pretty high end brand from the packaging but also in the price. This eye roll on is to help keep your delicate skin hydrated which will help when it comes to people who look a little tired. I have yet to use this product but I personally never see any difference in any eye products I use maybe I might be using them wrong. This was a travel size product.

So Susan Statement Skin Highlighter Pencil in Starlight £15 - In a box previously I have received a So Susan product before which I have yet to try - I am a big fan of highlighters and from swatching this is it has a champagne tone to it which gives off the perfect highlight. It has a tip which is perfect for precision when it comes to highlighting. This is a full size product.

Collection Long Lasting Nail Effects £2.99 - the picture doesn't do the colour of this nail varnish any justice it is a deep purple colour with blue glitter mixed in with it. This shade is the perfect Christmas shade to me even though I am not really a nail polish fan because I just can't do my nails without them looking a mess. But this is definitely something I would wear over Christmas or at a Christmas party. This was a full size product.

Hylamide Pore Delete £18 - when I first saw this it looked like something you would get from a pharmacy which it obviously wasn't. I then automatically assumed it would be like a primer when I found out that it deletes pores - however after I read up about the product you can use it if you want a make up free day to help delete pores, but you can also use it with make up but you would apply it after you have applied your foundation but before you apply your powder, to me this is pretty weird as I would have expected it to go on before your foundation. This product is to help minimise pores, mattify and blur your appearance which I'm guessing is going to give you that photo finish that everyone wants. 

Essence Liquid Lipstick in Show Off £2.50 - another product which is ideal for Christmas with it being a bright red/pink shade - making it the perfect shade for the festive period. It has the coverage of a lipstick with the shine of a lip gloss which is amazing so you don't have to carry so many products around with you. The applicator is a doe-foot which makes it easy to have full control when it comes to lining your lips. I have never tried any Essence products before so I am quite excited to try this. This was a full size product.

Starskin Bio-Cellulose Second Skin Mask £8.50 - this was the 6th gift which came in the GlossyBox, there is 4 different types of masks which all do different things - the one I received was the calming mask which is soaked in vitamin packed serum which is going to help your skin during the festive period because everyone wears a lot more make up over this time of year from all the parties. I love coconut and I love a face mask so this is perfect for me as it has a coconut scent to the mask. I am excited to try out this face mask as I think I am really going to like it. This was a full size product.

Usually you only get 5 products but this month you got 6 just as a little gift from them with it being Christmas. I am excited to try all of these products out and there is none that I dislike or don't think I will like. This box is definitely suited to the festive period helping with both getting glam to looking after your skin.

Did you like your Glossy Box this month? Have you tried any of these products? Let me know in the comments!

Black Friday Kiko Bargains!

Kiko Milano is a brand I have never tried I have heard so much about it though for it's good quality products. Originally I only went in to look at the products and I did come out of the shop with nothing, but when I was planning on leaving I ended up going back and buying a few things what can I say you have to take advantage of the sales! In my Black Friday post I did mention that it was buy 3 get 3 free definitely something you can't let go to waste.

Total Sculpt 3 in 1 Contour Kit 01 Light to Medium - this was apart of their Christmas Collection I originally thought they had sold out of this until we went back they had stocked back up. YES! You get three different shades which are for sculpting, contouring and highlighting, along with a small angled brush. The shades are really pigmented and go really well for a paler skin tone which is ideal for me. These shades can be built up so you can make them darker or lighter depending on your preference.

Moon Dust Face Powder 02 Fairy Mauve - another item from their Christmas Collection which I instantly fell in love with from swatching it. I walked all around the shopping centre and every time I saw the swatch it made me want the product even more, this is the reason why I did end up going back into the shop. The blush has an pinkey/orange tone to it but in other lights it has some gold going through it, this can be used as both a blush and highlight from looking at the blush it has a baked effect which I'm guessing if you was to wet the brush it would make the colour a lot darker. This colour will suit all skins tones pale or dark.







Pencil Lip Gloss Shades 09 and 10 - both these shades are brown nudes which are ideal for anyone for me this is perfect as I am a lover of nude colours. 09 Light Beige is a slightly lighter nude with a slight brown undertone to it, the 10 Dark Rose shade is darker with a slight pink/red undertone in it. The formula for these lip gloss pencils are really creamy and the colour pay off is amazing you don't have to use much to get a good colour, unlike some lipgloss pencils you need to apply a few layers to get a full coverage of the colour. When you first look at the product you expect it to have a lip liner texture but it just melts on your lips.



106 Face Brush - my Real Techniques stippling brush was my first ever brush that became my holy grail so I decided I would get another stippling brush you can never have too many brushes. It's made from synthetic hairs which is an added bonus, it's also amazingly soft something which I know a lot of people look for in brushes. I have yet to use this brush and wash it so I can't really say much on how well the brush washes and keeps its shape.


Brush Cleaner 50ml - Lately I have been trying lots of different brush cleaners because lets face it no one enjoys the task of washing their brushes I know I don't. Brush cleaners are ideal for a quick spot clean if you need a brush but don't have time to be going and giving them a full deep clean.

Kiko Milano is an affordable make up brand it has a mixture of both expensive and inexpensive products, but from looking at some of the products you can see the high quality in the products. The packaging is the same especially on the Christmas Collection, you can feel the quality and see it from the embossed detail and the packaging of the products keeps up the high end feel, you can see this in the pictures I was amazed by the packaging from this brand.

Until Next Time,

November Favourites!

It's now officially time to get in the Christmas spirit! But before that I'm going to just going to cover some of my November favourites. November has flown by but I have actually managed to find some new favourites.

The L'Oreal True Match Foundation has now taken over from my No7 Beautifully Matte which I thought it would be pretty hard because I love that! But after my friend tried it on me I knew I needed to get it and instantly bought it a few days after. Me and my friend are similar in skin tone so we are usually the same in most foundations. The colour matches me amazingly and the coverage is buildable so you can get both sheer and full coverage from just one foundation. I did find it was quite watery but I have got use to that so it doesn't bother me as much. I am fairly pale so I have one of the lightest shades which is 1.N.

I have never been one to bother with beauty blenders but I received one in my GlossyBox so why not try it - I am glad I did because it is amazing the finish it gives you after you have blended all your make up out is just flawless! Why didn't I try this any sooner? It was weird when I first used it because I was so use to just using brushes but my ways have now changed. I would recommend you try a beauty blender if you haven't before you won't be disappointed! (excuse the state of mine it's due a clean)


Emite Make Up Diamond Heart Base Primer is another item I received in my GlossyBox which I'm also happy with I have never heard of this brand before but from the packaging I was expecting good things, this primer is now a go to in my daily make up routine and works fantastic alongside my L'Oreal True Match Foundation. I only have the travel size so I might have to look into getting the full size product. It's different to my other primers as its not very drying which for me is a bonus, it leaves my skin feeling amazing.

Victoria Secret body sprays have always been hyped up by everyone so I thought I'd give them a go. Luckily for me they had their Christmas selection out which I love Christmas scents so I immediately fell in love with these. Winter Cranberry is my all time favourite I have not stopped wearing it and when Christmas is over I will be pretty gutted as I won't be able to get it anymore, maybe I should stop using it as much now just so I have enough to last me a year hahaha! Can I add aswell that the packaging of the sprays is one of my favourites you can tell it's limited edition because it is different to the normal bottles, but overall they have changed the design of their bottles making them look a lot more classy and sophisticated in my opinion.

This month has gone by so fast for me, I don't really have many favourites this month as I still have a lot to try but I keep buying more and more stuff which I need to stop because it is becoming unhealthy. Also sorry this is late, I had the post ready but no pictures to go with it and work has been hectic with Christmas hours starting.

What have been your November favourites? Let me know in the comments!

⛄ German Christmas Market ⛄

There is nothing that can get you in the Christmas mood like the German Christmas Market. The Christmas lights, mulled wine, beer and being able to get all wrapped up looking around the small stalls. Which I'd like to add are definitely quirky in their own way. You can pick up some nice gifts from the German Market if you want to give a present with it's own added touch which can't be found everywhere, it gives it that little more personal sense to it with them usually being a one off.

I have been to the Christmas market before and the one thing to always catch my eye is the candles, nothing new there because I am always buying candles. So I decided to buy some they were adorable with them being Christmas themed and I thought why not it was 10 for £12, or 1 for £1.50 so I thought why not may aswell get 10 plus I think it would have been quite hard to just pick a couple.

From looking around this year I noticed that honey and beeswax is a big thing, from beeswax candles to honey alcohol which my friend did get she got 'Hot Honey Mead' which in my opinion was very weird, it smelt like vinegar and cough medicine weird mix I know. From having a sip of this it was alright but the aftertaste was weird not bad but weird, luckily I didn't get one for myself as I wouldn't have been able to drink all that myself.

The food there is amazing it's the usual potato cakes, garlic bread, german sausage etc or sweet treats like popcorn, sweets and waffles. They do some amazing marshmallows which are HUGEE! however I can't eat these with me being a vegetarian but my mum and sister did get some, sadly I wasn't quick enough to get a picture of these before they got eaten.

Hopefully I will be going back to the German Christmas Market with my friends so I will be able to pick up some more things hopefully, it's such a lovely atmosphere and it just gets you in the Christmas spirit.

Until Next Time,

The Hunger Games; Mockingjay Part 2 Review!

So I took a week away from this because I just got super busy and needed to sort some stuff out. However I did go and see The Hunger Games; Mockingjay Part 2 which I am going to talk about in this blog post, so bare with me as this will be a short post but I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

So if you have never seen The Hunger Games a brief backstory to it is that there is 12 districts but soon you find out about a district 13 which got destroyed by the Capitol, the Capitol is where all he wealthy, high class people live. A male and female is picked from each district and then they go through training and eventually get put against each other to fight until only one person is left alive which is also known as the Hunger Games, this has been the case for many years. If you haven't yet watched any of the Hunger Games I recommend you do because they're amazing! If you have liked movies such as Divergent and The Maze Runner they are quite similar to the Hunger Games.

Anyways the finally came out the 20th November, a date which I had been waiting for since last year after watching Mockingjay Part 1. I wasn't impressed with Part 1 as to me it seemed it lacked some action, but obviously all the action is in Part 2 similar to how they did it with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

It was amazing though I never really knew how I thought it was going to end but the way it ended did surprise me I didn't think it would go the way it did. My friend actually agreed with me on this we both didn't expect it to be that way. I don't want to give away too much as some of you might not have seen it, or might be thinking about watching the Hunger Games and I want you to have the same experience I did however you won't be having to wait as long hahaha!

All I will say is you will feel a bunch of different emotions so be prepared to jump out of your skin, cry and be on the edge of your seat. This is just from my experience. Something as big as the Hunger Games in my opinion needed to be finished with an amazing last movie which they did of course give us, it's quite sad that it has all ended now I feel like I did after Twilight ended like what do I do now? All the big movies I had watched have been completed. I'll have to keep an eye out for new movies coming out or potentially read the Hunger Games books and compare them to the movie.

Have you seen Mockingjay Part 2? What did you think? Let me know in the comments!

Until Next Time,

GlossyBox - November Edition!

If you have read my past posts you might know I subscribed to a few beauty boxes, GlossyBox is another box which I subscribed to the other month, I have heard a lot about the products which GlossyBox send out with them being either well known or upcoming brands. GlossyBox is partners with a lot of brands which many people have heard of which is an added bonus.

What you get in the box;

Eylure Natural Lashes - when I saw these in the package it was a coincidence because later that day I had been talking to my friend about false eyelashes and how I have ever really tried them out, but obviously I didn't want to spend the money on something like that if I wasn't going to like them and it be a waste of money. So I am definitely looking forward to trying these out! These were a full size product. RRP £5.


Emite Diamond Heart Primer - when I saw this primer I got the impression that it would be a high end product from the packaging. On the leaflet you get with the products it says that the primer is used to balance out skin tone, boost radiance and gives a smooth finish which all primers do. I am looking forward to trying this out as I have mentioned before that I like to try out new primers to try and find the best one for me. This was a trial size product. RRP £25.90.


Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick - The shade I got in my package was '415 - Pink in the Afternoon ' it is a nice pinkey shade and it is definitely a shade I would wear, it is very moisturising so it doesn't dry your lips out with a high shine gloss. The lipstick is infused with Vitamin E and Avocado Oil which makes it moisturising. This was a full size product. RRP £7.99.

Royal Apothic Body Lotion - I have never bothered with body lotions because I can never have the energy to put them on, this smells really nice though and I have yet to use this item. This should be used when you have damp skin so it seals in moisture. Lactic Acid is in this lotion to help keep skin moisturised during the cold winter months. This was a travel size product. RRP £14.50.


MUA Eyeshadow Palette - The shades in this palette are the perfect nudes/gold and browns with a range of matte colours and shimmery colours. With this palette it is a good multi use on the go palette as you can change from a day to a night look by just adding a darker colour or a bit of shimmer. I have used MUA before and they have really good pigmented eyeshadows. They are a drugstore brand so they're fairly cheap and affordable for everyone. I think I will get a lot of use out of this palette. This was a full size product. RRP £4.

Overall I personally prefer GlossyBox over YouBeauty. Yes GlossyBox is more expensive with it being £10 a month, but I feel that the products you get are worth the money. Obviously some of the products you get in the YouBeauty boxes are good I just personally prefer GlossyBox.

What did you think to the GlossyBox this month?

Until Next Time.

MAC Enchanted Eve Christmas Collection

Every year MAC Cosmetics bring out a Christmas range which will last until the New Year. One piece of the MAC Christmas collection always makes it way onto my Christmas list, last year was the Keepsakes collection which I got the nude palette I can't remember the name of it.


The 2015 Christmas range is amazing, I instantly fell in love with it and needed it all! The theme this year was based around purples, blues and nudes giving it that night out vibe. I decided to treat myself to a few bits because knowing my luck it would be out of stock when I have time to get it, just like the 'Oh Darling' highlight I was too late to get that which sucks.

Enchanted Eve Eyes in Warm £32.
When it comes to eyeshadows I tend to be quite boring and play it safe, always sticking to warm tones and nudes. However I needed this palette it is pretty much like my Keepsakes palette with the same warm tone. The other colours you could get in this range were the mauve and navy palette.

The 6 eyeshadows you get:
- Seasonal Spirit
- Moodmaker
- Sax Appeal
- Bewitchin'
- Charcoal Brown
- Retrospeck

MAC eyeshadows are amazing quality so I know I won't be let down with these! I love the size of this palette it is ideal for travelling with it being easy to slip into a pocket. The mirror is also a added bonus with it being fairly big making it perfect for when you're doing your eye make up on the go. This product overall is really good quality and has all the little added details, the packaging itself and the magnetic seal making it easy to open and close.

Enchanted Eve Eye Bag in Neutral £39.50.
Originally I wasn't going to get the eye set in the Enchanted Eve range but I was going to buy the paint pot and mascara anyways, so thought I may aswell save some money and get more items. The other two sets were quite similar to this apart from they differed in the paintpot and fluidline with purples and then blues.

In the set you get;
- Painterly Paint Pot
- Dipdown Fluidline Eyeliner
- False Lashes in False Black
- Double Ended Brush with an eyeshadow and liner brush.
- Make Up Bag

What you get in this set is a good value for money and would be the perfect Christmas present for any make up lover. I am excited to use the False Lashes mascara because my first ever mascara from MAC I loved - but it was limited edition so sadly I couldn't get it again. I have been wanting to try the Painterly paint pot for so long after hearing so many people give it good reviews.

Enchanted Eve Lip Bag in Nude £34.
You might be thinking I have gone with nudes again, this set was really the only one I would personally go for that I know I would wear. The other two you could get were a bright pink or red these looked amazing but not for me hahaha,

In the set you get:
- Creme Cup Cremesheen Lipstick
- Boldly Bare Lip Pencil
- Cherry Blossom Lipglass
- Make Up Bag

I have never been let down with MAC lipsticks, you could probably tell if you knew how many I own, trust me it's not healthy. However I can't say much about the lip liners as I have never tried them but I have heard all good things about them, so hopefully I won't be disappointed. Can I just add the bags I got given were amazing they were to go with the Guo Pei collection.



MAC's collection this year is one of my favourites, all the packaging has an edgy clubbing vibe but it's still very classy. I might do a review on some of the products in future posts if I remember. I can definitely say it was a good spend which was worth it!

Did you get any of the new collection? Are you going to get any if so what? I'd love to know so drop me a comment!

Until Next Time.
