NEW YEARS | Resolutions?

Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas? I've been suffering a cold from hell but I'll survive! 

Now here it is, the promises to myself that I try to keep and never do...

Life Pupdate

From the very creative title you can see there happens to be 4 new bundles of joy in my life hence the lack of posting on here and YT but I thought I'd stop by to introduce you to them all!

CHRISTMAS | Wishlist!

I'm the kinda girl that wants everything in the world but when asked to write a Christmas list I sat with google open just thinking 'errrrm'  Does anyone else do that? When I was a kid I'd dig out the Argos catalogue and go crazy on the Barbie page but now I just can't think when put on the spot, but here are a few things I'd love..

REVIEW | Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit

The contour hype this year hasn't seemed to ease off, the shots of Kim Kardashian with her insanely contoured face seem to be what every makeup lover is striving for, however we all know in our day to day life we don't need to contour that much because we, unlike Kim K or Beyonce don't perform or go to modeling shoots 24/7. I used to and I still know a lot of people that do contour using a bronzer and due to my skin tone it was probably the biggest mistake ever, orange isn't a good look guys. If you want to do it like a pro the answer to your contouring prayers have been answered in the must have palette of 2014.

EVENT | Hillarys Craft Day

If you know me you know I'm a creative little critter so I jumped at the chance to get my craft on when Hillarys invited me to Brighton for a craft workshop using their new fabrics.
Jessie and I set off to Brighton and headed on down to Taj's Tea Parlour in the lanes, probably the cutest place in Brighton, if you love anything vintage or shabby chic check it out and grab a cup of tea and a biccy!

 

REVIEW | Urban Decay Shadowbox

The Urban Decay Shadow Box contains 12 shadows including some intense brights through to a mix of golden shades that are perfect for the upcoming season! I ordered this on a whim and I wont say I regret it because I got it really cheaply but it's probably not the best palette for first time Urban Decayers. My issue with this is there's only one matte shade even though the description says it's a mix of shimmer and matte. Tut tut Urban Decay.

REVIEW | Lush Hello Gorgeous Gift Box

Let's talk about this flippin amazing box of goodies a wonderful friend from across the pond sent me for my birthday, definitely a brilliant gift idea! I just wish we had smellavision/smellablogs or something because reviewing things that smell is bloody hard but ohhhh everyone needs this box. Not only is it beautifully packaged it contains 5 products.

This 'Hello Gorgeous' box retails for £22.95 and I think it's worth every penny.

LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT | October

Even though I'm a giant flake and can't keep up anything I'm going to try! Here's my Love it or leave it for October. Just a selection of things I've loved and a few things that I didn't rate! 

REVIEW | Makeup Revolution Cover & Conceal Palette

 Makeup Revolution is still taking the drug store makeup world by storm but we don't have it in my local Superdrug so on a trip to Worthing I grabbed this Cover & Conceal Palette for £6 and it was on a 3 for 2 offer.

REVIEW | MEMEBOX | Special Box #39

I did my first Meme box* review over on my YouTube so if you haven't seen it you'll need bringing up to speed!  Meme box is a Korean beauty box that is created by beauty experts. It's not quite a subscription box but it works similarly, sign up, select a box and wait for your goodies to arrive. All of the boxes are themed around something from colour all the way to food so there's something for everyone and this box is awesome. I received my box in 3 days all the way from Korea so the express shipping is brilliant if you're worried about waiting an age for your treats.
