First Mac Purchases!

A couple of days ago, I went to London with my mum and went into Harrods.  The first thing I saw when I went in was Mac.  I've always wanted to buy some Mac makeup, but there's no where around where I live to buy any and it is quite pricey.  However, as another Christmas present my mum said she would buy me on thing and I could use some of my own money for another (best mum ever) so I did and here they are.

The first thing was the Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation:

I love it.  The coverage is so good and doesn't give a 'cakey' look.  It just looks really nice and yes, I just really like it haha.

The next was veluxe Pearlfusion Shadow: Plumluxe.

 I have only wore this once so far, but the one time I did, it was perfect,  I used the top colour.  It is so glittery and I wore it on New Years Eve and it lasted the whole night.

I know this isn't a detailed review, but I just thought I should do a short post on them because its Mac and I've never bought any before and now I'm very happy.

2014-2015

As it is now the start of a new year, I thought it would be nice to me to write a post on 2014 and my resolutions for 2015.

2014 wasn't the best of years for me, it had its up and downs.  For a start, it was the year my anxiety got a lot worse and was suffering badly with depression.  I was falling behind on school work and constantly having to go to meetings with teachers explaining why, but not telling them about my mental illness and just just making up excuses.  Towards the end of the year, my dog was killed by a car.  We had her for 8 years, so this was a very hard thing to deal with.  That's about it for the bad things luckily and I know things could have been worse, but this was all very hard for me.

This post has got a bit sad now so onto the good things! I made some amazing friends that have supported me and been there always and just are generally wonderful.  I also went to see Billy Elliot the Musical which was AMAZING.  Finally, in December, we got 2 new kittens.  They are perfect and we love them haha. (Not much but it helped the year be not so bad and actually ok)

My resolutions:

I have't really got any major resolutions because I always fail at them, but this year my main one is to be happy.  As cheesy/silly as it sounds, that is all I want.  I want to make sure that I live life for me and stop caring what other people think of me. I'm going to focus on trying to get over my depression and just be happy (Hopefully).  My other resolutions are to be more healthy.  I want to start excreting more and having a better diet.  Marcus and Niomi (Youtubers) have inspired me to do this, but not so extreme as I don't think I'd cope haha.

Let me know your highlights of 2014 and your new years resolutions!

What I Got For Christmas

Since I enjoy reading posts on what people got for Christmas and videos, I thought I would write one.  I am in no way bragging or showing off what I got, I just thought some of you might want to read it :) 

Ted Baker's 'The Girl With The Beautiful Face'

I am well and truly in love with this.  The packaging is perfect and the products inside are even better.   The eye shadow crayons and lipstick are my absolute favourites. 

Soap and Glory: The Soapremes

(Given up taking my own pictures because the quality is rubbish, sorry) 

I do have a slight obsession with Soap and Glory so this was perfect for me, and it had cosy socks!!! What more could you want. 

Giant Ferrero Rocher

Ferrero Rocher are my favourites so getting a giant one in my stocking was like my dream come true., not gonna lie haha.

As well as this, I also got a lot more chocolate but I don't think any of you just want to see pictures of chocolate.  

Besides chocolate, I got lots of Avon nail varnishes.  I actually really like Avon nail varnishes and they aren't too expensive.  A few of the shades I got were, Candy Apple, Sheer love and Creme Brûlée, which are all the 'Gel Finish Nail Enamel'.  I also got the Black 'Colour Trend Starbust Nail Enamel' 

So there are a few of the presents I got, which I am all very grateful for.

Night time Routine

I love watching these types of videos on Youtube and reading blog posts about this, so I thought I shall write one and hope you all enjoy!

The first thing I do is take off my make up.  I use the kind to skin cleansing facial wipes: 

These take off all my makeup so easily and because it is simple, I know that it is going to be ok for my skin.  However, to take my eye make off I don't use these I use the Kind to Eyes make up Remover: 

I use this instead of the wipes as I just found it took my eye make up off better.  All you have to do is put some on a cotton pad, hold it onto the eye for a bit and then just wipe and BAM all your make up is off. 

Next to cleanse my face I use the Simple Pore minimising cleanser. (Yes I like simple haha) 

You use it in a smiliar way to the Eye make up remover.  Put some onto a Cotton Pad and just wipe it all over your face.  I really like this as it makes my skin just feel soft and cleansed and I definitely notice the difference.

Finally, the last product I use is the Soap And Glory 'Peaches and Clean'.

This is a face wash.  I pump some onto my hand and spread over my face (Not sure how to say that!!) and then wash it off with warm water and dry my face.  My skin always feels SO nice after I use this and the smell is AMAZING, I love it. 

Once I've done all this I will just go to bed :) 

I hope you liked this post, if you want me to do a more detailed routine (like moisturiser, bath and hair etc included) let me know!

Lush

So it was my birthday a couple of days ago and a couple of friends bought some Lush products.  I absolutely love Lush products so this made me very happy!  The first one was this:

Northern Lights

     
This Bath Bomb was AMAZING.  I'm terrible at describing smells but the smell of this was just so good. It was sweet and just so fresh.  The colours it turned my bath were lovely, as well.  It started off as pink and then as it dissolved more and more slowly a dark turquoise came out a long with a pale yellow and little stars.  The end resulted in a dark pink/purple bath with a few bubbles.  Perfect.

This picture has not come out good, but I thought I'd put it in anyway, haha.











I'm yet to use the second one, which is called 'Think Pink' but when | do, there will be another post!
