BLOGMAS DAY 9: CHRISTMAS MARKETS

So, yesterday I decided to visit the local Christmas market with my boyfriend. I love Christmas markets as they always make me feel really festive and the food is amazing. I took a few photos but struggled as they were quite busy and it was very very cold. But it wouldn't be a Christmas market if it wasn't cold!

Do you go to Christmas markets? Feel free to leave any comments.

BLOGMAS DAY 4: BATISTE PRODUCT REVIEW

Hello again! It's Blogmas day 4 today but I thought I'd do a product review instead of a Christmas related post/diary style entry as I went shopping today at Meadowhall and took 0 pictures and only bought one Christmas card and a pair of jeans. That would not make for an interesting post...

So, last week I did an online order at Superdrug as I needed some more shampoo and conditioner, the usual top up bits. But, having tried bits from the Batiste range before I thought I'd try some of their products I hadn't seen before. 

I've started curling my hair with my straighteners so really needed some heat protection spray so I decided to try Batiste Stylist Shield My Locks Heat & Shine Spray.

I paid £2.23 for the product as it was reduced from £4.49. I really like the spray and find it does work and it does actually make my hair look shinier which you sometime lose when you curl your hair. The only negative is the smell... it smells a lot like hairspray which I hate but some may not mind that.

The next product I bought was the Tropical Dry Shampoo.

Dry shampoo is one of my beauty essentials. I do normally buy the Batiste dry shampoo as I find it just works with my hair. But, I haven't tried this scent yet and I love it! I would definitely re-purchase.

The whole Batiste range is half price at Superdrug at the moment so now is the time to try their products or stock up on your favourites! Do you use dry shampoo?

Feel free to leave any comments.

JUNE WISH LIST

I did a wish list a few months ago and now there are a million more things that I need... well maybe want. I've linked everything via the products name!

A wish list has to include Mac.. this is MAC Mehr, I'm running out of my loved Please Me and this is a very similar shade. 

This is MAC Please Me , I bought this before Christmas and have already nearly used one.

I need this Soft and Gentle highlighter from MAC.

The Urban Decay Smoky Palette, my uh-mazing boyfriend treated me to the Naked 2 palette before I went on holiday, and I use it daily so now I would love this palette. 

The Too Faced 'Better than Sex' Mascara 

I really want a new purse and love the size of the Michael Kors purses, I love this colour.

Okay so maybe this is a bit of wishful thinking... but I would love a MK bag.

A slightly strange want, but I would love a photo book as I have so many lovely photos that I would love altogether in one book.

This pandora ring is wow. I love it!

I love the smell of Victoria Secret body mists and sometimes prefer them over perfume! I love the fruity scent.

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.

Nails for my holiday

I went on the Royal Caribbean ship Ovation of the Seas for a week, it visited France and Spain.

And celebrated my friends 20th birthday in Manchester!

And finally I got my first car!

A lot of my photos are taken from Snapchat, and my username is chelseaowenxx. I will be doing weekly posts from now on so look out for more beauty reviews! If there is anything you would like to see just leave me a comment below.

MAYBELLINE IT LOOKS/// RED SIREN

I'm writing this post about an amazing kit that I picked up from Superdrug. This kit includes some of Maybelline's best products and retails at £30! It is an absolute bargain for the amount of product that it includes. The RRP of the items must in total be well over £50 at least. They do several different kits but I decided to choose the 'Red Siren' kit as it had the contour kit and the Nudes eyeshadow palette that I've been wanting for a while. 

The kit included the Nudes eyeshadow palette, the Lash Sensational- which is by the way amazing! The matte lipstick in shade 'Divine Wine', the master precise eye liner and eyebrow pencil and finally the Master Sculpt contour kit. This is such good value for money and I would 100% recommend! You can find the kits HERE! Feel free to leave any comments.

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.
