Blogmas ¦ Day 12 - Pomegranate liner

 

I've recently been trying to mix up my makeup a little and a couple of weeks ago when I was having a look through my makeup collection I found the Maybelline colour tattoo and decided to use it as a liner. I am honestly so glad I did. I feel like I can't really wear any cool toned bluey purples on my eyes which I feel like really limits me however I can't say I've every thought of doing a burgundy liner.

 

So I've been applying a little bit of Walk of shame from the Naked basics palette to neutralise the skin on my eyelid and then popping a little bit of Naked 2 into the crease to deepen it a little. I've then been using a tiny little angled brush to apply the liner. I've been doing it quite thick as I have quite large eyelids however I do think it still looks lovely with just a thin line. Then I've been putting a little bit of the Gosh Velvet touch liner in my tight line and then finally applying mascara to both my top and bottom lashes.

 

I'd love to know how you've been mixing up your makeup recently.

Blogmas ¦ Day 11 - 10 Festive blogpost ideas

 

So we are well into the festive season so today I though I'd share with you some festive post ideas. I absolutely love blogs around Christmas time as everyone seems so festive and cheery so I decided I'd write this post for anyone who is struggling for festive post ideas.

 

 

1. A Festive DIY - Now I'm not the most creative person in the world so DIY'S kind of scare me but you could do something like a little cake mix in a jar or you could make a candle holder. If your struggling for DIY ideas I'd highly suggest hitting up Pinterest.

 

2. A Christmas tree tour - I actually did this last year for blogmas and it was such a lovely post to write. I also think it was something that readers really enjoyed reading.

 

3. Christmas day routine - If your anything like me your Christmas day routine is pretty much set in stone so I love to read other peoples routines to see how they differ from mine!

 

4. Festive Makeup look - This is something I do every year as I love having the opportunity to slap lots and lots of glitter and sparkle on my face. I always think festive posts should be fun and if you are anything like me you'll love slapping a tonne of makeup on your face!

 

5. Festive baking/food - Along with makeup food is my other passion and I adore reading other peoples foodie blog posts and writing my own. Whether it's a festive cookie recipe or how to get your turkey perfect I'm all over it.

 

6. What I got for Christmas - As I am ridiculously nosey I love to read this kinds of posts. In all honesty at first I was a little wary about writing them however I can honestly say I've never had one negative oh you just want to show off or you are so spoilt. So if you are being put off by that don't let it bother you!

 

7. Christmas party outfit - This is one for you more fashion based bloggers. I love to read a good outfit post as they are one of those posts that are super easy to digest. I feel like so many people like myself struggle for outfit inspiration so festive outfit posts are something I love.

 

8. Gift guide - I feel like this one is pretty self explanatory. In the past I've done them as collages as lets face it some of the gifts we want to buy are just way out of the budget however I also do love a good actual physical the person owns the gifts post! I just all depends on your budget.

 

9. Christmas wish list - I love a good wishlist, I like to write the if money was no exception wishlists and talking about them with other bloggers. I think it's also a lovely thing to tell your family about as your wishlist is there with links to all the products and everything.

 

10. Festive photos - This could be anything from a trip to the Christmas markets to pictures from a festive party. I know photography posts aren't everyone's cup of tea but I absolutely love reading them.

 

So that's it I'd love for you to share your festive post ideas in the comments.

Blogmas ¦ Day 10 - Christmas gifts from Cheerz

 

I love a good personalised Christmas gift and I think these little gifts from Cheerz are absolutely perfect. If you're looking for something for the girl who has everything or for someone who is really difficult to buy for.

 

The La boite a photos* is just the cutest thing ever. It contains everything you need to make a really cute little polaroid washing line including the adorable little pegs. You get 40 prints and 24 cute little pegs as well as some little photo corners. I am so excited to put this together. You can actually get captions typed on the bottom of the polaroids however I decided to leave them blank so I can write on them as I thought it would look a little cuter. For £19.95 I think this is definitely a bargain as you get so much stuff to make your photo line with.

 



 

If you want a little more of a budget option the Cheerz box*  is a perfect little stocking stuffer at £12.95. In this one you get 30 prints. Something I will say about the prints is to make sure the photo's aren't to dark as they do come out a little dark and I also tried to make sure that the photos where a good quality as I was disappointed with a couple of them as they weren't great photos to begin with.

 

Overall I am so happy with these and I think they will make brilliant Christmas gifts.

Blogmas ¦ Day 9 - Trialing Lilash and Librow

I'm super excited to be bring you this post today. I was recently sent this gorgeous kit for Lilash and Librow and I am so excited to give them go. They are purified serums which are meant to enhance the growth of your lashes and your brows. I haven't actually started giving them ago but I thought I'd do a little introduction post. I am really excited to give these a go as I've read some brilliant reviews.

 

 

As of late my lashes have not been as long and as thick as they usually are so I'm really hoping that this serum will be able to help to get them back to how they where. So that's my little introduction to the products. I'll be doing an update and full review in about 3 months once I've given then a proper try. I'd love for you to let me know if you have tried them. 

Apologies for my spotty brows.
