What I got for Christmas 2016



Sometimes I wonder why I wasn't named Pinocchio as I'm so nosey. I'm too lazy to nose  about other in other people's drama but I love these kinds of posts and looking at all the beautiful pictures so, thought I'd do my own for other Pinocchio's out there! I'm in no way bragging as I know some people get a bit funny about these posts (so look away now if you're one of those people), I'm just very appreciative and wanted to share a few pieces as I received some really lovely thoughtful presents. 


Disney Minnie Mouse Mug
I mean how cute is this! I love receiving presents where you have no clue what they are but they're so well thought out and reflect what you love which in my case is Disney. There are going to be so many hot chocolates (and possibly green teas cause yano, gotta get that summer body sorted) consumed out of this. 


Joules Scarf
I received this beautiful scarf by Joules from my brother and Flo Jo and it's super cute so thanks you guys. It probably won't keep me very warm cause it's quite thin but it's very pretty and the little deers are reflective (almost as reflective as my highlight - lul).


Swarovski Earrings 
My mum is the best at picking out jewellery and these little earrings are super cute! When they're on they come all the way up the lobe and they look stunning. Thank you Mumma P. 


Yves Saint Laurent | Black Opium | Eau De Parfum 
The boyf very kindly bought me my favourite perfume which is too expensive for my poor student budget but it smells soooo good. I'm a sucker for sweet perfumes and this is just the best.


Clinique Anti-Blemish Skincare 
Clinique will forever be one of my absolute favourite skincare brands. My skin is oily and prone to spots (or as I like to call them, acorns) and the anti-blemish range works a treat. I'm not even joking the clinical gel should be called miracle gel, you literally put it on before bed and in the morning your acorns are basically gone. Oh and how cute is the pink box and packaging!


Anastasia Beverly Hills | Master Palette by Mario
This Master palette by Mario was shipped all the way from Sephora and is now sold out and I'm so so grateful. I'm so excited to use this because look at all those beautiful warm toned shadows ahhh. Anastasia eyeshadows are so pigmented and are always of a high quality so I'm super excited to get my brushes into these. My amazing friend got this for me and she's an extra babe, thank you - You know who you are!


My friend Molly combined my Birthday and Christmas together to buy this beautiful Hourglass palette which I have been talking about for ages. So so grateful because it's incredibly pretty and Hourglass products in general are phenomenal - thank you!


I also kindly received several Debenhams vouchers because people know I love makeup but didn't quite know what to get me as I have quite a lot already. I didn't include pictures but my main present this year was a MacBook pro which I am currently writing this post on. I normally use our shared Mac but this is going to come in handy especially for university but also now I can write posts on the train, on the go and hopefully use this for some potential YT video editing. Oh and for playing Sims 4 - duh. 

I hope you all had a magical Christmas and wishing everyone the best for 2017!

Til next time x

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick - No 10 Beige Tribute | Review


For starters this is in my opinion the best nude lipstick possibly ever. I've been on the hunt for an amazing nude lipstick for years. I always found that they were quite light and the colour would just completely wash me out or I looked like I had foundation lips (I mean, foundation lips are a traditional phase right?). Anyway, I found Samantha Ravndahl's Instagram page (all around goals guys) and she had a tonne of pictures using this lipstick and it looked beautiful, so I just went ahead and ordered it on a whim. (Well maybe as I spent ages looking up reviews and swatches - ha!).

This lipstick shade is THE perfect nude. Very creamy but doesn't look really glossy and almost goes matte after a period of time wearing it. The colour is a light pink, with a cooler undertone. I like to apply this with the Essence Satin Mauve Lip Liner (£1) all over the lips, then outline them with Mac's Stone Lip Liner. Usually if I want to go for a really nude nude, I'll just line my lips with Stone and apply some concealer or foundation on before and pop the lippy on over the top, voila!

Besides from the formula/actual lipstick, the gold packing is the bomb. I feel like a princess whenever I reach for this!

These retail for £26 but if you order through Feel Unique they always have some kind of promotional code so I manged to get some bucks off!

Very pricey for a lipstick but in my opinion worth every penny! 

Thanks for reading!
