BLOGMAS DAY 3: MY FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS FILMS

Hello again for Blogmas day 3! Today I haven't really done very much other than some of my uni work. I'm writing an essay on the book Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters. 

So, todays post is going to be my three favourite Christmas films as I've been watching loads recently!

Elf- Okay, so this has to be my all time favourite Christmas film! I'm yet to watch it this year and cannot wait. I love Will Ferrell and this is one of the best films that he's been in. It always makes me feel in a Christmassy mood and its hilarious.

Home Alone- I love Home Alone, it's an older film but is a classic for Christmas. I have to watch this every year and still find it funny.

The Night Before- This is a very recent film and I watched it for the first time the other night. It has Seth Rogan in it and I really him in films. It also has James Franco in it for a short time and he is wow. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a more adult Christmas film and want to laugh.

Thanks for reading! What's your favourite Christmas film?

Eylure Lashes 141 Review

Hello again! Today I thought I'd write a piece about a product that is very close to my heart... Eylure lashes. Due to going on a night out I thought I'd head into my local Savers in search of some new lashes as all of the ones I had look scary now due to over-wearing them. I picked up the Eylure 141's for £2.99! I was searching for lashes that had a much more natural feel to them but still had the length and volume that I desired. I love the feathery look of the lashes and would definitely recommend these lashes if you are wanting a natural yet glam look. Eylure as a brand is also amazing and I haven't found a brand just yet that match the quality of their products. 

This is the packaging of the lashes in case you were wondering what they looked like. I unfortunately threw the packaging away before I got chance to snap a picture of them!

This is myself wearing the lashes.

A close up of the lashes... ignore my brows as I have an appointment booked to get them threaded again!

Do you wear fake eyelashes? What's your favourite brand?

An Update..

I feel like all I do in my blog posts is apologise for not writing enough! I haven't posted a blog since March so I felt like I would update you all before I began writing weekly posts again! It's now nearing the end of May and I've finally finished my second year of uni and have a full Summer ahead of me. So since I last posted I have had some great nights out with my best friends in Sheffield and Manchester, I started working again! I got a spray tan for the first time since prom and I went on HOLIDAY! (a post dedicated entirely to this will be posted shortly)! And to top all of this off I got my first car.

MARCH WISHLIST

Hello again everyone! My post today is going to be dedicated to all the things that I'm loving/lusting for this month. {Take note family & Alex, as my birthday is only 3 months away} Feel free to comment below and tell me what you're wishing for this month, or if you have the product I'm lusting for whether it is worth the hype.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place

This is a high end foundation that I've been wanting for a while now. I love a high coverage foundation and have read so many good reviews on this.

Fleur De Force by Eyelure

I love Fleur de Force, and watch her YouTube videos regularly, I think these would be some perfect lashes for my holiday where I want a lash that just enhances my natural lashes. 

Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette

I've been wanting a Urban Decay palette for around a year now but can't bring myself to splurge and spend the £38.50 on one, does anyone have the Smoky palette? Is it worth the price tag?

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

Again, I've been wanting a Urban Decay palette for so long, the shadows in this palette are all colours that I would wear, and I've read so many good reviews on this palette.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer

Obviously, if I'm going to spend nearly £40 on some eyeshadow I want them to stay in place? I'd love the primer to go with the palettes.

Mac Prep and Prime fix

My sister has this and I love it! It keeps your makeup in place all day.

Sony A5000 Camera

Not beauty related and this one is a bit of a cheat as I have actually ordered this to be delivered when I return home from uni but I'm so excited to receive it, and up my game on my blog photos.

Benefit Watts Up

I love the idea of a creamy stick highlighter and love the brand Benefit, so I definitely want to invest in this highlighter.

Mary Lou Manizer Highlighter

Another highlighter...but I've heard brilliant reviews of this highlighter, I haven't tried any of the Balm products just yet.

Morphe 12 Piece Brush Set

I really want to try some Morphe brushes, they look pretty and are affordable.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit

Need I even explain why I would want this cult beauty product? I really want to try a cream contour product so think this would be perfect.

Pandora Sparking Heart Ring

Another non-beauty related product but I really want a chunky ring and love the design of this.

I hope you've enjoyed reading about all the things I would love this month! Feel free to comment below.

Meadowhall Haul

So last Friday I went to Meadowhall, which is in Sheffield, as a late celebration for my sister's birthday. I saved some of my Christmas money so I could treat myself when we went. 

Because I don't live near a Mac counter I always try and make sure to visit it when I go to Meadowhall! I picked up a bronzer which was £24.00, it doesn't look as orange as it does on the picture in real, I promise.

I really wanted a diary for this year to jot down my daily thoughts and tasks that I need to do and I found this one in Paperchase. It had 20% of which made it around £8.50.

Next, I went to Superdrug. I really wanted a new drugstore foundation so decided to try the Rimmel red topped one, there was a deal on Rimmel which was buy one product get the next half price so I also decided to try the Rimmel gel liner as I already have the Mac fluidline but want a cheaper alternative. I also bought my favourite conditioner and some Blistex repair cream as the Winter hates my lips.

I next went to New Look, I really wanted a new handbag and spotted this one so took the plunge and bought it! They also had an offer where it was 20% of jeans so I felt compelled to buy a pair. I also bought this long sleeved top for the coming Spring months.

And finally I visited Boots. I purchased a new hairbrush to blow dry my hair, my favourite shampoo which is the Bleach London Silver Shampoo because I have highlights which this helps maintain and I was recommended by a MUA to buy the Boots time delay cream. I've never really thought about anti-ageing creams with only being 19 but the best thing is to start young so I have!

I hope you enjoyed reading this post, I will be doing some more in-depth reviews of the products that I bought. Feel free to leave any comments :)
