December and January Favourites

December and January Favourites


Cinema

Jumanji

I love the original so I was dubious about the film as sometimes sequels aren't that great but that's normally due to the fact they rush them to get as much money as possible but waiting 22 years I think was long enough I really enjoyed it and it's nod to the original and how Jumanji has a mind of it's own and needs to be played so changes so that people will play Jumanji. The cast was a great choice love them all for different reason it's funny light heart'd and Jack Black kills me as Bethany yass Queen.

DVD

The Mummy

I really like this film and after see all the bad reviews I didn't have high hopes for the film but it was a nice surprise more darker then previous trilogy and had nice nods too them also with The book of the Amun-ra. They set it up for more which I'm excited to see which way it could go but I do prefer them with the ancient Egyptian theme. 

Beauty and Skincare

The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Revealing Liquid Peel.

Great product and perfect for this weather as your skin can look a little bit dull and not it's best, with this product you can see it working which I really like and it's a nice freshen up for your skin in the colder weather. It's a little bit more then an exfoliate I feel and it doesn't irritate my skin as I have quiet sensitive skin so it a winning product for me. 

Urban Decay Vice Liquid Lipstick 714

This is the perfect red colour, easy to apply, really quick to dry think its one of the fastest setting liquid lipsticks I've ever owned and has good staying power. This has been my go too red and lip colour through out December especially whenever a party happened and from this I've bought another vice liquid lipstick which I really like also, this may be the start of a new love.


Urban Decay Troublemaker Mascara

Amazing love this mascara gonna say one of my favourites up there with the maybelline lash sensational and The They're real lashes. Love the packaging and it lengths adds volume and works beautifully and even though I'm pretty much a false lash girl now I can live with my troublemaker mascara on it's on just for just everyday looks.

Everything Else

H&M Sequin Earrings

I love these earrings so much that I got them in the multi colour and the black, really light weight so easy to wear and the perfect add for for the festive period or if your just extra like myself you can make an outfit a little bit more .

Simplybe Velvet Glitter boots

These boots are so dreamy and I fell in love straight away but I waited to see if there was anything else that caught my eye and when I went back they had gone and I was gutted so I kept looking hoping they be back in stock and when I randomly looked they were there so I quickly put the order through and I'm soo happy they are a perfect height, colour and the glitter heel is just the cherry on top I'm in heaven with them.

Batiste 2 in 1 dry shampoo and conditioner.

When I saw this I was amazed that this product even existed, so I thought I'd pick one up and try it out and I am in love you don't end up with the normal white mist/product all over you. It's smells amazing I got the vanilla and passion fruit one but they had two other smells. Normally with dry shampoo it makes me hair feel horrible at the end of the day, filled with product and really heavy, but with this product it feels nice, light and makes your hair feel nice and smooth. Don't think I'll use anything else from now on love it.


Oral B 3D White Whitening Accelerator

I will try any product that claims to whiten teeth as I want whiter teeth, some work some don't this one works and I like that it's a extra product on top of a whitening toothpaste. When I first used it I saw a difference straight away. With being a separate product it does add more time to the teeth cleaning process but most night I'm good and will use it. I think because I have it in my room it's remembering to take it into the bathroom with me to then use.


Tatty Devine Holly 2.0 necklace

Last year I bought the Holly necklace from Tatty Devine it is different from this it's a lighter green and a different structure/style and when I saw the redesign for last year I wasn't 100% sure that I need as I already have one and then it when into a flash deal so I thought I'd treat myself and I'm glad I did I love the darker glitter green and that it's all one piece and I loved wearing it through december. It's an easy add on to outfit to make an outfit a little more festive. 

_______________________________

So there are my December and January Favourites I'm kinda sad December is over although I won't miss the amount of rude people it brings with it but for now I still have a mountain of chocolate to get through and I'll think that'll take me to summer to even make a dent in it.

Sale Buys

Sale Buys

I bought these either in the sale or there was a discount code that was sent too me or it was a limited time offer on the website.

Cath Kidston

 CathKidstonxDisney Mickey mouse strip leather lozenge bag originally £100

When I first saw this bag I fell in love it's a classic mickey on a beautiful cream bag but the price was way too much for me so I put it to the back of my mind and then when they sent me a promotional code before Christmas I thought I'd treat myself and this would be my last big treat for a couple of months while I try to save some money. It's a good size bag as well you can't fit the mickey purse in it as it's too long but there is plenty of room for other things.

Mickey and Friends curved continental wallet originally £38

Again love the DisneyxCathkidston ranges and this purse was just too pretty too say no too  it would of been rude to pass up on this purse it has loads of card slots, a zipped compartment and two slots for notes the fabric on the inside is beautiful. I kind of don't want to use it as it's too pretty and I don't wanna ruin the purse.

Painted Glitter Framed cosmetic bag originally £18

I love anything glittery, I think I was a magpie in another life and I needed a medium makeup bag that will fit a decent amount of makeup in it. I like that it has a metal frame meaning it keeps it shape and won't get squished or misshaped when travelling. 

Cult Beauty (Code on certain eye palettes)

Lime Crime Pocket Candy Palettes in Pink Lemonade and Sugar Plum

This combines my love of Polly Pockets and makeup in one product and I love them and I can't wait to have a play with them and create some beautiful Makeup Monday looks for the blog. There was a blue one but I feel like I'd use these two the most and the blue one would just get put the the back of my beauty box and never be used.

Boots (January Sale)

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium

I wanted this since I got a sample when I buying some YSL lipstick last year and I loved it. I always buy fragrance in the sale as you always get a better deal this gift set was original £71 and I paid £47 and you get a 50ml and a mini perfect for popping in a bag for a night out. (I am planning on doing a perfurme haul/overview of all the ones I have and love)


So that is what I bought in the sales or with code this January I do love a good sale shop and this will be the last time I can treat myself for a while as I need to save my money for other things.

August Favourites

August Favourites

Cinema

The Hitman's Bodyguard

I really like this film more then I thought I would, it was funny had lot of action, pretty much had everything a good films need plus the beautiful Ryan Reynolds was in it so that's a bonus. I would buy it on DVD and watch it again..

Beauty and Skincare

Violet Voss Holy Grail Palette

I love this palette, I bought it from Cult Beauty didn't really know much about this brand but this palette is amazing, highly pigmented great shades thought it would be perfect for Autumn/Winter Looks and I'm so excited in creating more Makeup Monday looks (my skin broke out with the cold I got so I was waiting for it to be better)

Garnier Skin Active Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask

First tried this when it was offer in Superdrug and new in, I think I prefer tissue masks to other masks you actually apply as they are just so easy to put on and take off, made my skin feel super soft and you just massage the excess product in so you don't waste product and yeah I may look like an Alien but I can deal with that for 15 minutes.


Nip + Fab Dragon's Blood Fix Hyaluronic Shot 

I've seen a lot about this product and when I saw it had a 1/3 off I thought why not treat myself and I was most excited to see if it really would reduce redness and it has helped I think I just need to be more brave and put it on by it's self on a night

NYX Blotting Papers

I've look for ages for these as every time I go to the NYX section they've been sold out so I finally got my hands on some as they are £5.50 so they don't break the bank, they work and are a handy size to put in your bag.


The Body Shop Make your own Eye Shadow Palette.

When I was in The Body Shop they had a deal on when if you bought three shadows you got one free and the palette so being a sucker for a deal I though why not and I wanna do it again and get more beautiful colours I went for quiet a neutral shades they are all shimmers though so I'll have to purchase some mattes. But a great thing to build yourself then take away with you.

Everything Else

Leopard Print Biker Jacket Simplybe

I'm in love with this jacket. I saw it online in July but I was unsure whether it would be amazing or not. So when I saw it in person It was everything I've ever wanted in a jacket, it's heavenly I don't care if you think it's tacky cause I thinks it's freeking FABULOUS!!! 

Accessorize Embroidered Bag

This small bag is rather deceiving as I can fit my chunky purse, keys, phone, ipod, pocket mirror and the lip product of the day. As well as it being a decent size to fit everything you need it has this beautiful embroidery detail they also do it as a tote and a back pack but I know I'd get more use out of this cross body/clutch bag.

DW Home Lychee Candle

I went to Home Sense and I could spend every penny I don't have in there, They have such a big candle range so you smell lots and lots of them and this one was the winner for me it smells sooo good it's sweet but subtle not too over powering they have double wicks in them and I was really happy to find there was two so I got both of them as I know once I've finished them it'll be a sad day.
