Christmas Eve Routine


 It's CHRISTMAS EVE! Nearly...

My Christmas Eve routine... 

When I get home from my 10-4 shift at work I’ll basically just chill for an hour or so, watch some YouTube videos. I then make sure everything is clean, and ready for some new things haha! I take all the presents down and put them under the tree as their isn't enough room to take them down before Christmas eve.

Then my pamper routine commences. Shower first, wash hair, clean, shave, and exfoliate.


After the shower... To get my face feeling clean I use micellar water which is part of my routine everyday morning and night, not just on Christmas eve! 

 Next, I use a Garnier skin active moisture bomb face mask, they are so amazing and your makeup goes on amazing the next day which is what I need getting ready on Christmas morning. 

Recently I've been using the new Garnier skin active cleansing milk with honey flower



 WOW is all I can say it's just an amazing product, my skin is feeling fabulous, I feel and look more alert. I only use this product on a night for now. 

I then use the ASDA skin system overnight blemish serum tea tree (Linked if you're interested) which I can't recommend enough! I actually suffer with acne and have for a few years so I've tried nearly every spot cream, doctors recommendations, prescriptions etc. but this is like my new best friend. I can't believe how quick it's working and how much improvement I can see after only a week! Even better it's a £2 bargain, just shows that you should always try products as I would never have a tried a supermarkets own brand spot cream!

Usually I would moisturise after this step with simple hydrating light moisturiser but as I used the moisture bomb I don't need to.

After all that's done I tan with my favourite tan EVER. Bondi Sands, it's an Australian fake tanning brand but it's available to buy in the UK from Boots and Superdrug.

I've actually used a few of their tanning products but the Liquid gold is the one I have been using for the longest now. It goes on as a spray so really quick and easy plus you leave it on overnight and don't have to wash it off which works for me, and the smell is beautiful, I feel like an Australian goddess!

Then I paint my toe nails, I get my nails gelled so just need to paint my toes! (I can't have people touching my feet haha!) 

After my full self pamper it's time to give my mam (and dad) their Christmas eve hamper box, My grandma who passed away used to make my mam a box full of household essentials which we all used to look forward to with things like toilet roll, tins, biscuits, candle, washing up liquid etc. I know my mam used to love her mam giving her this box so last year we decided to do it for her and will continue to do it each year, just a small thing but something that means a lot.

By this time it's about 8 o'clock so all the family get a mixture of McDonald's and KFC and watch a film to de-stress ready for bed to wake up bright and early!

Hope you all have an amazing Christmas! 

Love,

Let’s talk slogans...

I absolutely love clothing with slogans on. I think they are so cool and unique. Thought I would share a few of my recent slogan buys as well as a few old ones. I've linked the things I could find (just clock the picture).  I love finding clothes with words and I keep adding to my collection.  So recently, I got this jacket from misguided which I am in love with. I’m actually saving it to wear as my birthday outfit with a plain black jumpsuit because I just love it so much an think it's worthy of a good night in London haha. Lover has been my word for so long and I used to use it all the time. They do the same jacket in a couple of styles and colours .   This one is from the men’s section in H&M but I loved it too much not to buy. Always saying I’m cold hearted, I’m not really I just can be haha! This one reminds me of all the Kanye West stuff that I love! I actually follow an account on Instagram @wornbyellis which has some cool sloga...

Makeup Revolution - Brow Tint - does it work?

Hey loves! I recently bought this revolution brow tint and obviously had to review it. If you seen my blog post on HD brows and the maybelline tattoo brow   you'll know I'm a fan of the tattoo brow idea! I reallllly don't like my natural eyebrows, they never sit right, there too light for my hair and are a rubbish shape, anyone else? Anyway so my sister tried this out first and said she really liked it so I went to superdrug and picked it up myself. I was initially really impressed as it only cost £5 where as the maybelline one cost £12 so a massive difference and I just love saving money. The packaging itself is simple, nothing to fancy just black with crome writing on and you can see the bottle through the little opening. The back of the box shows you step 1, 2 and 3 of how to apply it, how long to leave it on etc.  I got it in the darkest shade they do, dark brown as my hair is blue/black.  This is what the applicator looks like, it quite a thick...

Wedding Inspiration

We got engaged in February 2017, a year ago so obviously my pinterest board is crazy full. I just wanted to blog a few of my favourite inspiration pictures. My board is actually on private mainly because I would want some aspects to be a surprise to friends and family but couldn't resist blogging them. Myself and Nathan have this idea of having the venue and vibe of the day to be barn/outdoor/nature. Here are a few little bits and bobs that Im in love with, whether we decide to have them or not. Firstly, we would absolutely love to be driven in the cutest camper van dreamy little thing! Dislike the tradition of the bride and groom having to get separate cars cos it would just be the cutest to turn up together in this, however I would like my look to be a surprise. Succulent or plant wedding favours, such a good idea that is a must! I love the wooden and greenery vibe, this is a must but it definitely needs more white just to brighten it up, especially f...
