Countdown to Christmas

Credits Google

 

Hello,





 Today it's the 1st December, which means it's the start of my Christmas blog posts! I'm not going to be posting everyday, as for me this will be impossible because of school, but I do want to upload more than just once a week as there are only three Sundays left until Christmas... CRAZY! Therefore, I am planning to upload more than just on my usual schedule. There will still be a post every Sunday but I will also be uploading whenever I have something to post; so if you have any ideas/ requests feel free to comment them on my Instagram or in the comment section of this blog post. As a part of this I will also post everyday for the 5 days before Christmas, this is my #countdowntochristmas.  

 

I also want to post a Christmas Q&A at some point (I have this scheduled for the 22nd... bit too organised?!) so please leave your questions on any of my Christmas blog posts or on my Instagram with the word Q&A so I realise it's for the blog post.

 

This is more of an update post but thank you for reading. One last thing ... Merry Christmas everyone!

Current Favourites



Hello,

I never did a October Favourites blog post so I though I would combine these past two months and write a 'current favourites' post. I haven't got a huge list of items to discuss with you as my November has been an busy month full of exams, exams and even more exams.

 

 I got a leather jacket recently and I LOVE it. It goes with anything and I've worn it to both formal days out to quick trips out to get something, I can pair it with almost anything. I am very lucky as my parents brought it me ( Thank you if you're reading <3 ). I have featured it in my Autumnal outfits post (here.)

I have also been loving my blanket/ throw from Primark. As it is getting colder in the evenings I have been using this a lot to keep me warm. It is insanely soft. I brought this last year for £5 and it hasn't lost its softness. You would never believe it was only £5, the quality is really good. I love the winter pattern mine has; Primark still do these type of blankets/throws but I'm not sure if the pattern I have still exists. (Used as a background in these photos)

One thing that I can't forget to mention is One Direction's new album FOUR! I am playing it now as I'm writing. I'll listen to a song and be like 'I love this it's my favourite' but then the next song comes on and I'm like 'oh wait no this is my favourite'.. and so the cycle continues. (I don't know if I explained that very well..) Within a few days I knew the words to most of the songs, that's how much I've played them - it's by far my favourite album yet.

Onto makeup/ beauty... I picked up a darker lipstick from Sleek recently; it is a matt shade in Dare 791. Can we just talk about the packaging.. oh my.. I'm in love.. It's such an unusual shaped packaging but I love it; to be honest all of Sleeks packaging is amazing. I love the shade of this, however a darker lipstick is a bit different for me as I normally wear lighter neutral shades.

I also picked up the Blissful Missful Body Mist from the Zoella Beauty range in October. Again I love the packaging of this product, but it also smells amazing. (I'm not going to even try and describe the scent, I am rubbish at that!) It is also really cheap, £8 for 45ml - you would pay around £30 for one of the 1D perfumes this size!!


Thankyou for reading, this was a short favourites post but I wanted to share the products with you anyway.

Collection No Clumps Mascara - Review

 

 

Hello,

 

It has been a while since my last review so I thought I would write a review for you today. Today I will be reviewing the Collection No Clumps mascara. I'm a huge mascara fan and I won't go a day without it. I brought this in Superdrug for £2.99. (Here) Yes I said £2.99! I was watching a Youtube video and it was recommend - and even compared to the Benefit They're real, so I had to give it a try. Although I can't compare it to the Benefit They're real because I haven't tried it, I have loved this mascara. I still love my Maybelline mascara (review here.) I have noticed that I keep wearing this one - they do work nicely together as well.

 

Mine is in 17 Ultra black and I have been using this around a month now.  In the past I have tried other Collection mascaras and they have dried out and gone a bit grey but so far this one has been fine. I'm a fan of big lashes and this normally means I apply quite a few layers of mascara; and as it says in the name this mascara does not clump on your lashes which is great. Even better, this mascara gives me long lashes and I don't really have to apply as many layers as I do with other mascaras, which is a real time saver in the morning. One of the most impressive things with this mascara is that you don't get any excess mascara at the end when you open this mascara, and believe me you might not think this is amazing but when you use another mascara you will really notice this. The mascara doesn't have a fancy packaging, but don't judge a book by its cover. I'm sorry I struggled to focus the wand in the photo; but the wand is a really nice size that works well for both top and bottom lashes.

 

Overall this mascara is really good, and very impressive for such a small price tag.

 

 

Thank you for watching. I just thought I would let you know that I will be starting my Christmas post in December; and there might be a surprise near Christmas so watch out for that! See you next time, byee.
