What I Got For Christmas 2014!

Lets start with saying I hope you guys all had a very merry Christmas and will have a happy new year when it comes around ^_^ So I've never really done one of these posts before as I've never really felt like it but I know that they are popular posts and videos! 

So I know some of you guys may see this as bragging and showing off, and this is not what I'm trying to do I just know people like to read this and I do myself. As I find them a great way to get ideas for presents for your birthday if it's coming up or a family or friends birthday too! So there's ma disclaimer for ya ;) Even though if my family read this they'll be like what are you doing??? but to the family who reads this, its excepted in the beauty blogger community to share things like this!

So I am really great full for all the presents I received this year and blessed to have a lovely family. However this year I found that I was more excited to see my family rather than getting excited about the presents,  which I think Christmas should be about, cause it's the best time of the year to get all your family together, and everyone is happy! And I think I  was more excited to see my little cousin open her presents, who's 4, because she got loads of sylvanian  families which is what I used to play with as a kid!
I dunno if Mum, Dad and luke are gonna kill me for this picture but we always take a picture before we eat our dinner and I really love these guys and this picture!

So let's get on to the prezzies! First present I got was on the 19th of December because my friend had a Christmas party and we did secret santa and my friend Kira (who also has a blog here) kirabassett and she got me a selection box of chocolates which I've already eaten! And also a set of 3 Calvin Klein lipsticks which are is such pretty shades which are great for this time of year!
Even tho me and my Bro are 17 and 19 we still get a stocking ;) never to old aye! So these present are from santa and I got 2 tubes of sweets cause you can't get enough of them at Christmas!
A packet of socks which have all these cute designs on and I believe santa got the from Next! Just look at that amazing foot photograph, I should be a sock model!
More socks! These ones omg are amazing they have polar bears on and if you don't know polar bears are my favourite animal!
And lastly I got this nivea make up bag which is faux leather and it's soo soft! And inside it comes with makeup wipes, make eye remover which I've actually wanted to try! And a really nice face moisturiser,
So my Bro got me a few things first is two tops from Next and the first one is just plain black with a high low back which has fashion on because it's what I do act college and he thought it suited me ahah! The next one may be true but think it is but it says "I'm kind of a big deal on my blog" I most probably took a better picture where you can actually see what's on there but I thought this picture was too funny, I think I was mid dance or something! Do I really pull a face like that when I dance...
Him and my mum and dad also got me a frozen pencil case cause.... yeah.. I'm cool like that ;) and my cuz got one too!
Then this masqurade mask which is.... amazing! And my mum and dad know I want to have a masqurade themed party for my 18th,
So polar bears are my favourite animal but I do really like penguins too and I got some penguin pj's which I actually opened on Christmas eve because my mum wanted me to wear them for Christmas morning, and we have matching ones too, bless her! :3
And again with the penguin theme they got me a penguin puzzle and I haven't done a puzzle in yearrss! 
So my main present  from my Mum and Dad I got a tablet and I got the Samsung galaxy tab 4 and I got the 8 inch one ^_^ to go with it I just got a screen protector cause my parents don't trust me! and a blue case which is from fyy if you were wondering,
From my Nan, Grandad, Auntie and Uncle I got the most beautiful thing of existence (apart from Zac Effron) which is the Urban Decay Vice 3 palette, and I am completely and utterly in love with it! I will definitely be doing a review of it of you guys and maybe some tutorials or FOTD with it!
My Auntie and Uncle also got me this gorgeous kimono because they know how much I love them! And this is by a brand which is sold in debenhams and it has pockets and slits on the sides and it's finished of really nicely to :3
Of course they can't go a Christmas with out getting me and my brother a selection box each !
So my Nan and Grandad also got me this set of 17 nail polished and the shades are all so lovely and I can't wait to go paint my nails!  17 Is  boots own brand like no7,  but if your not from the UK you can ship internationally on their website, ooh and I've have brought their nail polished before and they are amazeballs!
And another section box too!
So from my other Nan and Grandad I got mainly money but I'm not gonna say how much! As well as some pairs of kickers which I'm not kinda showing you guys either ;)
My nan knows I love Avon products and their makeup especially so she got me three nail polishes which are actually a new range in Avon Nan was telling me! 
As well as two eye-liners from their new Glimmerstick Diamonds range, so expect a review on the nail polishes and eye-liners to come soon! 
I also got some new slippers from them as my ones my Bro got me last year are dead! And they are sooooo soft ermuggrrd!  And they are from Accessorize but if you need new slipper you need to try these baby's out!
Lastly from them I got this lip smacker thing which has 3 lipseals in which are in the flavours coca cola, sprite and Fanta and they all taste like the drink.... omg it's amazing!
Then very last my other Auntie and her Boyfriend got me some money also and this pretty little box with this adorable set of earrings and my favourite place is Paris and the Eiffel tower is just perfect and I will definitely be wearing them lots!
Last but not least they know how much I take selfies so I got a selfie stick to put my phone on to get that perfect selfie! And it's also handy because you can fit go pros in there and I want to get one for when I go on holiday with my friends next year so I can totally use the stick to take pictures and film when out on walks and activities!
So I hope you guys like this post, let me know down  below what you got for Christmas,  what your fave present is, what you best memory from this Christmas!  And if you have done  post or video on this too let me know because if would love to be nosey and see what you guys got!

Lush Halloween and Christmas Wishlist!!

I don't regularly buy products from lush mainly because I don't have baths! But recently Sams Mum gave me a bubble bar which she did not want and gave it to me :3 So thank you very much Sam's Mummy ^_^ And OMG I am in love like you have no idea. It was possibly one of the best baths I have ever had :D The bubble bar she gave me was the Creamy Candy, ahhh it is lushhh ;) It's only £2.50 each and lasts a long time. So anyway since I fell in love I have been craving another and another!! 
Lush always has a collection of products out for the festive time of year and I was looking on their website and found some products that I would love to try out in the halloween and christmas stuff ^_^ 
Firstly is their halloween collection which features a few of the classic Lush products, which are know to be amazing! Online they only had 5 products for halloween so these are my three which I have my eye on ^_^

                     Twilight - £16.95                                                A lavender and malt notes shower gel to calm, relax and comfort as it helps you transition from day to night. Do you want to look up at the night sky and remember that you are part of it? Then Twilight will help you connect.  For a good night’s sleep, use this before bed.
                   Pumkin - £2.75                                                             Crumble under a running tap to turn your bath water a vivid, rusty orange colour, creating mounds of sweet scented bubbles. With ylang ylang oil and orange flower absolute to leave you feeling uplifted and refreshed. Pumkin shares the comforting and Autumnal fragrance of our Figs and Leaves soap, so the two will be great to use together in the bath. 

                     The Witches' Ball - £4.10                              A blend of herb and spice essential oils gives The Witches’ Ball a crisp, Autumnal fragrance that’s perfect at this time of year. Sage, myrrh, peppermint, rosemary, parsley and clove all combine for a bewitching bathtime experience.  The herbs and spices here help to clear the mind and emotions, so it’s perfect for those who like to do their thinking in the bath.

Next is there christmas collection which is absolutely adorable!!^_^ 

                           Snowcake                                          Another of our Christmas bestsellers. This soft white soap smelling of marzipan and fruit has people rushing in to stock up as soon as we release our Christmas stock. We’d sell this all year, but then Christmas wouldn't be so special. Made with a fragrance of rose absolute, cassis absolute and benzoin resin.
                  The Christmas Penguin                                              P-P-P Pop in a Penguin! This fun bubble bar is modelled on Little Penguins found on Philip Island, Australia – they’re the smallest penguins in the world! Dont you think the middle one is way too cute ^_^
 
                      Gold Fun                                                          Brand new Fun, invented by Lush co-founder Mo Constantine, has been given a Christmas makeover – it’s encased in golden lustre and is scented with the fragrance of all-year-round product Honey I Washed The Kids. You decide how you want to use it: pinch off a little and lather up for washing body and hair, crumble a small bit under running water for baths or just play with it!
Our little snowman is about to shuffle off this mortal coil – but not before you get one last bath from him as he disappears for another year.
It is a short but glorious life that our Melting Snowman lives. He may not have long to go, but boy is he going to make a grand exit.


Citrus oils, davana oil and buchu are combined to give a tropical fruity, juicy aspect to this fragrance. Feel tropical in the shower for a few minutes and step out with a smile on your face.



So thats todays blog post I hope you enjoyed, if there is anything you are loving from lush right now let me know in the comments because i would ove to try out your guys' recommendations :3 Until next time have an awesome amazing day...

Bobbi Brown's Christmas Collection!

Can you believe its only 79 days until christmas! This year has just gone so so so fast, but its the time of year where all the chirstmas collections and gifts start to come out ^_^ YAY!! So I was browsing only today and came across Bobbi Browns chirstmas collection and can I say I think I might be in love with it... maybe even more than the RiRi <3 MAC collection! 
Anyway for those of you who haven't seen the makeup collection yet I thought I'll show you my favorite pieces which one day I hope to get my hands on...
This first one is the Smokey Eye Warm Palette which is £37.50 and its a beautiful neutral palette which is perfect to have for everyday eyes and its small enough to carry in your bag and take traveling too.  It includes a classic base shadow in Ivory and some shades have a lot of metallic textures in and others has lovely neutral hues in. It includes a Mini Dual Ended Shadow/Liner Brush as well which is perfect on the go!
This next product is the Nude Glow Shimmer Brick highlighter for £35.00. IOUYDTYDJ OMG this is just to beautiful I cant even look at it without dying! It features the most perfect pearlescent colors to highlight your skin with skin. You can also use this shades as an eye shadow, and I can think of some very pretty makeup looks to make with this ^_^
Date Night Lip and Eye Palette for £24.00 which I think is a great price for  little compact for on the go which includes three eyeshadows in Ivory, Storm Cloud Sparkle and Caviar which can be used as an eyeliner too. The palette also comes with two lip colours in Sandwash Pink and Berry Punch which can be paired with the mini High Shimmer Lip Gloss that snaps into place in the middle.
So next is most probably my second favorite piece in this collection which is the Lip Gloss Trio for £29.00. Three is my lucky number so I knew I was gonna love these ;) These are a great wearable shades in Pink Sugar Shimmer Lip Gloss, Bronzed Heather High Shimmer Lip Gloss and Dusty Rose Lip Gloss. Great for everyday and night :D
So this last one is probably my favorite and that is the Evening Out Set which is quite pricey at £80.00. However off putting the price maybe to some of you just think about what you get in this set... It includes six shadow in a highlight shade, four lid shades and a dark liner shade! And added on you get a set of all the brushes you need to apply your makeup. But what I love about this set is that you get everything to create a perfect eyelook which even includeds the lash-lengthening mascara in the blackest black :D and overall you get a cute little black patent carrying case to put it all in. So maybe its worth that price?? ;)

So they are my favorite pieces in Bobbi Browns new Christmas Collection I hoped you enjoyed and if you wanna see the rest of the collection its all on Bobbi Brows website ^_^ and until next time, have an awesome amazing day...
