Merry Christmas Everybody!!!

I hope you had an amaazing day with your friends and family and that you got everything you wished for!!!
Today I got woken up by my little sister, Evie, who now has instagram (eveshelbournexox) so go follow her!
We went and opened our stockings, I got a lot of chocolate, some bath things, some makeup and a few other bits and bobs!
After that, we went down stair to see the presents under the tree and we opened our presents from "santa" , this year I was hoping for a mini laptop, and good old santa clause didnt disappoint! 
Thanks Mum and Dad!!!!!
Anyway, we usually have all the family coming round and we all have a big Christmas Dinner, but this year, they all went away on holiday to different places, so we decided to have christmas, with just us four, I first thought it was going to be really boring, but it was actually really good! I didnt have to be social, so I could go on the computer as much as I liked which was good.

My Dad, me and My sister have been wanting an xbox for agggesss, so My mum got us an xbox for all three of us to share which is AWESOME! I love Call of Duty, and I always play it whenever I go to my cousins house, so Im so happy to now be able to play it whenever!

The highlight of today was probably seeing my dog SO happy when he got some Christmas pressies, (They were; a stuffed chicken toy, a bone, and a few other chewy boney things, which he loves. His tail was wagging like there was no tomorrow, it was the best thing ever seeing him so happy. I swear his tail was wagging for about an hour and a half non-stop.

I had a great day and I hope you did too! If you feel like it, then please leave a comment below on what you got, I'd love to know! I might be doing a "top 5 favorite gift's" from this year, soon, so be sure to keep checking back for that.

REVIEW : Collection 2000 Mosaic Glow

Hi Guys!

Today I'm going to be reviewing the Collection 2000 Mosaic Glow, I've been LOVING Collection 2000 lately, especially their mascaras (I'm obsessed) but for Secret Santa this year, (Molly was my secret Santa this year, so,Thank-You Molly!!!) I got the Collection 2000 Mosaic Glow! Here are my thoughts on it...


 I have the Mosaic Glow in Shade 6 which has three main colour which are Coppery, Bronze and Gold which mixes together AMAZINGLY!
I wouldn't really describe this as a bronzer, neither would I call it a highlighter, as it says in the name, its more of a glow which is GREAT as its unfortunately freezing cold  winter right now, so it definitely warms up your face and makes it look all glowy, like you just came back from a lovely sunny place, which is always a plus.


As you can see, it mixes together as a warm, gold, shimmery colour. The colour I swatched (^^^) really reminds me of the Topshop Sunbeam Highlighter, but this is one is half the price at £2.99 so it's a amazing product at a really good price.

When I use the product I just get a powder/blush brush and put it mainly round my Cheeks, fore-head, and a little bit on my nose!!


 I think the swatch I did on my finger came out really bright, and when I swatched on my arm you can see how it really comes out!

I think its a really pretty, gold bronze, copper highlighter/bronzer/glowy thing-ma-bob!

If you're worried about it coming out really orange and chavvy, then rest assured, it really wont.


I hope you guys liked the post! I'm really sorry I haven't been posting like I used to but every now I then when I get the chance to steal my Mum's camera  to write a post I do. Also, my camera broke so I use my Mum's which is really good, I think its a Nikon but I'm not too sure.

Thank you for reading and have an SHAMAZING Christmas! 3 DAYS TO GO!!! I hope you get everything you want and have a lovely day <3

I think I will be doing a "What I got for Christmas" probably late in December, or early January.

One of my favourites...


Hi Guys!

This is one of my favourite Revlon Lip Butters that is perfect for winter!!!



I defiantly think that a Darker toned lipstick is essential for the winter months, red goes with almost any winter outfit.

This one is the Revlon Lip Butter in Red Velvet.

I think you can get Revlon Lip Butters on Amazon, Boots or Superdrug, they sell at around £6-£7, but they are really worth them because they are probably the most moisturising lipsticks I have and they are SO moisturising which is perfect for these winter months!



Hope you liked the post!

My favourite TV programs and a quick chat!


Hi Loves! Today I'm doing a post on my two  favourite tv programs! Let me know what yours are in the comments!



I lurvee when Thursday night comes round and Celebrity Juice comes on! Keith Lemon NEVER fails to make me laugh, and there are always good people on the show too!


Peter Andre is such a sweet person, and I love Junior and Princess too, and the newest additions to the family, Charlie Pug and Porridge are adorable!

Recently, you may of noticed I haven't been posting as much as I usually do, but I've been doing quick, short posts, I think that doing small posts, is much better because I have recently been much more busy than usual, my school has been giving us much more homework than last year which I need to keep on top of! But I hope thats ok! I think I'm going to be trying to post every Friday but I'm not making any promises haha!

Thats all for now!

The vet said that when he was eating his food that he fell alseep in his bowl hsha!
But on the brirght side, he does have a neon green bandage which is pretty cool.

I think I'm going to be starting to be starting to do anew thing called "SOTW" = songs of the week!

The 60 second rule!

Hi Everyone!

Today I wanted to do a quick blog post on one tip/rule that really helps me to stay organized!
Its called the 60 second rule!

Basically, I set my watch to 60 seconds and I go round my room trying to tidy everything up all in 60 seconds, when the minuet is over, everything is put away and my room instantly feels more organized and waaay less cluttered! Its a really easy trick just to keep everything more put-away and spacious!

I hope you liked this super quick post! Thank you so much for reading! MWAAAH!

DIY: Rice Sock


Heya Everybody!
I recently wrote on my other blog that I was on Pitnerest the other day on the DIY section when the Rice Sock came up, I was interested to see what it does, and how to make it, it said that the sock helped colds and was also GREAT for those cold winter nights....
Here's how to make it:



The rice sock is also great for an ice pack, just put in the freezer for a couple hours and you're good to go!

Hope you enjoyed the post!

Going running!





So If you dont know, I do go running, I am a bit of an exercise freak, call me wierd, but I love it! It gives me a lot of time to think and clear my head, I dont really bring a rucksack like others, but I have a lot of pockets to put stuff in, and I occasional bring a plastic bag (classy, I know) and just put stuff like a jumper in case it rains.

Anyway, these are just some tips I have for Before running, during running and after!


Before I go, I always write down in a notebook how long I want to run for, how many miles and stuff like that, then I grab a bottle of water,  and make sure I have everything charger and that  I want to bring with me. 


When I run I like to listen to music with a lot of beat than you can follow along to because it helps keep rhythm!

I usually run for about an hour, to an hour an a half depending on how tired I am, or how the weather is. Here in england, the weather is so unpredictable so if it is raining I wont go, but If its nice and sunny I will.
Sometimes I go running with my dog, because he can get a walk aswell as me getting some exercise!

After I get home, I usually go and take a shower, change clothes, and then write down how long I ran for, how many minuets I ran for and where.

I hope you guys liked this post and that it helped you if you are thinking of going running or want to start!
Thank you so much for reading this post! Dont forget to subscribe for updates,and leave a comment! I love reading and replying to them!

♥ My Phone - I bring it for when I walk home on my way back to listen to music, go on twitter etc...
♥ Ear Phones - For listening to music
♥ Water Bottle - I always bring a filtered one because the water at my school is DISGUUUSTING!
♥ Flask - I only bring this for winter months to put some hot chocolate in :)
♥ Planner - I am SO unorganized (even though I try to be organized haha!) so I HAVE to have a planner to keep up to date with homework, important dates and things to remember.
♥  Pencil Case - I keep quite a lot of makeup aswell in my pencil case, (I'm planning to do a video on it) but also my pens, scissors, etc.
♥ Notebook - I also have a notebook because I always need to write stuff like further notes on homework, stuff to do, homework to start etc.

♥ ImPress Nails ♥


Hi Guys!

Today I'm going to be reviewing the Broadway ImPress Stick on nails.
I got mine in the French Manicure style called DO10 Rock it, but there are loads other styles and colours to choose from. 

Packaging

Let me just say, I love the packaging so much I'm actually going to keep it to store paper clips and stuff in on my desk. 

Application

I applied these in litterally 10 minuits, they were SO much easier than fiddling around with nail glue for 1 hour and a half. These are perfect for if you're in a rush somewhere. All you do is, choose the nail size that fits you,  peel off the protective plastic and smooth down! Done.

Another thing I love, is that there are 12 different nail sizes, which is perfect because I have really wierdly shaped nails :/ Haha.


Price

I got mine for £7.99 in boots, and I'd say this was the only downside to the product, I would LOVE to be able to wear these all the time, but because of the price, I cant! 
But while I was in the shower, I suddenly thought, "But when they start coming off, cant you just use nail glue to pop them back on again?" And thats what I will be doing!

Long Lasting?

Broadway Nails claims that these nails last a week, I've had mine on for 3 days now and they still feel really strong and secure on my nails, and I've taken 3 baths and 3 showers so Im really really pleased!

























    The Look

I LOVE the final look these nails give me! Close up, yes, they do look really fake, but from an on-lookers view they really do look like my real fingernails! Even my mum thought they were real!!!

So, overall, I am really impressed with these ImPress nails! Ha-ha! You can find them in boots or                    
                                           superdrug!


                                 Thats all from me, but I really do reccomend these nails!

♥ July Favourites ♥


I cant believe July is over! It seems like only a couple days ago I was still in school! Anyway, I'm going to be   
                                        doing my Randoms and Beauty faves! 

                                                                    Beauty Favourites
    1.  Topshop Ice Crush - I LOVE this! I use it over nearly all my nail polishes, it instantly makes any polish    
         look put together.
    2. Kiko Milan Tutti Frutti - This has been a perfect colour for the summer, I especially love it because its a
        a sort of pastel kind of colour and pastels have been really popular this season.
    3. Collection 2000 Sheer Loose Powder - I'm not a fan of loose powder but this has changed my mind! 
        The finish of the powder is really natural and not heavy at all.
    4. imPress press on nails - I've got a review of these coming up, but let me just say, they are ah-maze-ing!
    5. Extreme Coloured lengths mascara - I have been wearing this mascara everyday and the finished look  
        of this mascara makes your lashes look so much longer and so much more voluminous.
Random Favourites
  
 1. WHSmith Scrumptious Square Pencil Case - I recently went back to school shopping, even though I                 dont go back to school until September haha, and I picked up this! I think its really cute and yes, I am a   .       sucker for cup-cakes!
2. Poundland Pink Ice Water botttle - I was in Poundland recently and I saw this, I needed a new water 
    water bottle so I decided to pick this up! Plus, it has a bit in the middle of the bottle which you put in the  
    the freezer overnight and take it out again and put it in the bottle it keeps your drink cool.
3. Pink Headphones - I ordered these a couple weeks ago and I am obsessed with these! I love the colour, 
    and the sound quality is really good. Also, I swear to you, they NEVER get tangled, I chucked them in the
    bottom of my rucksack, and when I took them out 12 hours later (I was on the plane) they weren't even7
    the slightest tangled, but my apple earphones were in the biggest mess ever! 

   I hope you guys liked this blog post, and I hope the photos were ok, I took them outside lol!
                                    See you on Monday!

Steal Kendall Jenner's Street Style!





Hi Guys!


I LOVE the Kardashians and I am going to be doing some posts on each of the Kardashians and their make-up/style today I decided to start with Kendall!
I love her casual street style looks and I'm going to try and re-create it on a budget!

STEP ONE

I'm going to start with the white tank top! You can get a cheap one from maybe Target, Primark or somewhere else that doesn't cost too much.
COST: £5.00




STEP TWO

Now I'm going to move on to the jumper/cardigan! I found this one from
New Look which is reallllly similar in length and colour to Kendall's!

COST:  £9.99









STEP THREE

Kendall has slightly rolled her jeans to create the cutoff jean look, so take a pair of your favourite ankle jeans and roll it up once. I found these in Topshop and although they are a little expensive they are totally worth it because they will last you ages.

COST: £40.00






STEP FOUR


Shoes! One of my favourite parts of putting an outfit together!
These are from Shoe Zone, and if you're not from the UK you probably wont be able to find a pair exactly like these, but you might be able to
find a good dupe.

COST: £9.99


             And thats it! I hope you can re-create her look with my help and that you enjoyed this post!
                                                                  See you on Thursday!
