MUA Cosmetics Haul!

Hello Everyone!

So, a few days ago I ordered some bits and pieces from MUA Cosmetics! Today the products finally arrived and I thought I'd show you what I bought!

I wanted a statement Lipstick and I certainly got it! I bought two Lipsticks, one in Pouty Pink and the other is Scarlet Siren!

I ordered a Blusher in Shade 1 - not sure why they don't have colours, but it's a Pinky-Cream colour! Of course I need something to apply it with, so I bought a Blusher/Contouring brush!

I've needed a new Eye Liner for ages as mine is a Liquid Liner, but it takes me forever to apply as I struggle with it! I found a felt eyeliner and im in love with it! It is so easy to apply and lasts a long time!

Finally, I didn't buy this, but I wanted a eye shadow palette and my friend bought me the Dusk 'till' Dawn Eyeshadows! They're so beautiful and great for Christmas and New Years, or just in general!

Here are the products!






Have you ever tried MUA? If so, what's your favourite product?

Love you lovelies!

The Liebster Award!

Hello Everyone!

I'm a bit off topic today, but I've been tagged by http://beautybyeden.blogspot.co.uk/ to do this! Thank you very much by the way! I've read the whole of her blog now and it's so good! If I were you I'd go follow it!


With this tag, you're meant to:
- List 11 random facts about yourself
- Answer the 11 questions provided by the blogger who nominated you
- Choose 11 more nominees and ask them eleven questions (they must have 200 followers or less) - and obviously let them know they've been nominated!

Right, I think I'll just go with it then! My 11 random facts! I'm not the most random of people!

1) I can do the alphabet backwards in under 4 seconds!

2) I cannot walk past Starbucks without buying something! Oopsy!

3) I'm the only person in my family who has blue eyes!

4) I was born on the 9/9/1999 at 9:49

5) My ringtone never changes, it's always the Mission Impossible theme tune!

6) I've been to America 4 times - Florida three times and New York Once - America is my favourite place!

7) I go to a lot of concerts! They're like one of my favourite things!

8) I crave pancakes 24/7, but never actually eat them unless it's pancake day!

9) I want to live in London!

10) I cant stand it when people walk really slow and drag their feet!

11) I get into my pyjamas straight after school unless I'm going out! Better to be comfy!

Now for Eden's Questions!

1) How many pets have you had? Names and other info.
    I've never had a pet! I've been deprived of having one as my sister and Dad have reactions to them!

 2) Favourite day of the week?

    I'd like to say Saturday! But during school Tuesday's are my favourite!


3) If every makeup brand bankrupted and you could only save one, which would it be?

    Oh my goodness! What would I choose, there are so many! I'd have to save Rimmel London, because I use it most!

4) If you had to move anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I'd move to New York, USA because there's so much to do and different areas that range instead of it all the same!

5) Favourite Book?
I have loads, but currently 'Let It Snow' by John Green, otherwise 'The Fault In Our Stars'!

6) First watched YouTuber/Blogger?
I have a lot that I started watching, but the main two on YouTube are Zoe Sugg (Zoella) and Tanya Burr! 
Bloggers: Danielle Kimberly - I found her on Instagram and she has such a good blog! Then the obvious ones are Tanya and Zoe! But I read and watch a lot of people!

7) Have you ever dyed your hair, if yes what colours?
I have, but only half my head! Kind of dip dye, but more subtle and blonde!

8) Favourite place to go?
In the UK, London, it's amazing! But from around where I live, Birmingham is really good for shops! Just in general, shopping is my favourite place to go!

9) Summer or Winter?
A lot may disagree, but I prefer Winter! It's all cosy and cute! Plus, Christmas is in Winter, so really it's a win-win situation!

10) Favourite Quote?
Its a long one ok! This quote is from One Tree Hill!


 "You ever look a picture of yourself, and see a stranger in the background? It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moments of other peoples life have we been in? Were we a part of someone's life when their dream came true or were we there when their dream died? Did we keep trying to get in? As if we were somehow destined to be there or did the shot take us by surprise? Just think, you could be a big part of someone elses life, and not even know it."

11) Anyone you'd swap lives with for a day?
There's just so many! Probably for a Boy/Man Louis Cole (Fun For Louis) as he lives an adventure and looks amazing! For a Girl I'm going to stick to YouTubers I think - Zoe Sugg! She's absolutely gorgeous and has an amazing life from what I can see haha! Also I want her hair!

I would Like to Tag

I know and realise I only have 5 people tagged! But I didn't want to do too many, as I wanted to show upcoming people who I've seen and heard about!

My Questions!

Favourite Book?
What are you most afraid of?
3 favourite Phrases?
Favourite Quote?
If you could only have winged eyeliner or dark lips for winter what would it be?
Favourite place you have been too?
What is your favourite TV Show?

Festive Day Out!

Hello Everyone!

So today I visited a few garden centres with my family! Normally I hate garden centres, but when they're all dressed up Christmassy I actually love them! Walking around the little decorated rooms makes me rather excited, it all looks so festive!

There was a cute little farmers market that we went into and it had a lot of things I quite liked and maybe picked up!

For my sister and I, I bought some little cute cookies that we cold hang on the tree and eat on Christmas Eve! Just a little treat for us! We also had a look at all the fresh items and as I was looking around I found Macaroons which look delicious!

Finally there was a Yankee Candle shop and of course I couldn't not stop to smell everything there! I adore all the Christmas Scents and I wish I could have bought loads of candles!

I have lots of pictures for you to see so take a look!
 

 
 
 






 

 

All the Festive Treats look so lovely and I could have spent lots, but obviously I didn't!

Are you looking forward to Christmas? I know I am!

Love you lovelies!

JLS Concert: Outfit of the Evening and Meeting Support Acts!

Hello Everyone!
So, yesterday evening I went to The JLS: Goodbye Concert at the LG Arena in Birmingham! It was amazing, but so emotional! They're one of my favourite groups and seeing them live was just perfect!

Before JLS performed there were three support acts and I met two them - NVS and Hatty Keane! I've seen NVS at JLS' previous tour, but had never met them! Everyone was so lovely! Danny from NVS is my favourite and he hugged me! WOW!


Meeting NVS - It was amazing! Hugged each one of them and they're so lovely!



Meeting Hatty Keane!


Autographs from NVS and Hatty Keane!

After such an amazing night, I just want to go back and relive it! What's the best concert you've been to? Who would you like to see?

Love you lovelies!

What I'm Crushing On: Topshop

Hello Everyone!

It's that time again! What I'm crushing on, but this time it's Topshop! Whenever I go to Topshop, there is always something that I want, but can never afford! So I can dream in this blog!

My clothing style is quite indie/grunge and I love it! In my crushes there is a pair of shoes as always and I'm probably going to end up buying them because I adore them so much!

Let's get started!


Martie Patent T Bar Geek Shoes £32.00, Soft Floral Shirt £32.00, Moto Dark Acid Tee Dress £38.00
Red Checked Treggings £28.00, Checked Tee £32.00, Moto vintage Borg Denim Jacket £58.00
Colourblock Crossbody Bag £65.00, TopShop Lip Bullet £8.00, Zig Zag weave Shorts by Boutique £100.00


Knowing me I will eventually buy these shoes, because I adore them so much! 
The floral top is very pretty but cropped, saying that it would look amazing with high waisted disco pants or jeans! I think the dress is absolutely gorgeous and would buy it in a heartbeat! If I had £38 spare of course! I love the Treggings so much, not sure if I would personally suit them but I still love them! I'm also in love with the checked top - would look amazing with anything high waisted especially disco pants! Next one of my absolute favourite things - the denim jacket! Oh my goodness just look at it! How perfect for winter though really? The fur inside looks amazing and just so snuggly! 

The bag and shorts are a little pricey for what I would pay, but how pretty are those shorts! Super high waisted and checked! The bag is another take on a satchel and I'm in love with satchels!

The colour of the lip bullet is just beautiful and would look great with any autumn/winter outfit!

So what are you loving from Topshop?

Love you lovelies

Outfit of the Day: Trip to the Theatre & Birmingham German Christmas Market!

Hello Everyone!
Yesterday, I went to see Miracle on 34th Street at the Theatre! It was so good and I really enjoyed it, just in case you were wondering! After the theatre we also visited the German Christmas Market and it is huge! It smelt so good and looked so pretty at night!

I decided I would dress up a bit and show you what I'm wearing! If you have read previous blog posts you may know that I love tartan and the other day I took a trip to Primark and bought one of the very popular tartan collar dresses! There are so many different colours but I went traditional and got the red one!

I was actually super warm because this dress is quite thick and the tights I wore were the super cosy tights from Primark!

Dress: Primark. Leather Jacket: Punky Fish. Boots: New Look. Bowler Hat: Boohoo.com





This is my beautiful sister and I on the Ferris Wheel in the German Market!

What's your Favourite thing at the German Market? Tell me in the comment box below!       

Love you lovelies

Lush Cosmetics!

So today I went to the one and only Lush!
Lets begin with how good it smells! I have always wanted to buy something from Lush as I had seen people rave about it!

When I went in I knew I wanted the 'Candy Mountain' and I saw it straight away! Did I get it? Why yes, yes I did! 
I wanted more than one item because I'm such a greedy person *wink wink*, I kept looking for other ones and my eye always seemed to catch the melting snowman! So I picked it up!

I could have bought the whole shop, it's just that good!

Here are the products that I bought:

This is so cute and will smell amazing when used!



How scrumptious does this look though, really?

The packaging is so nice!

Love you lovelies!

What I'm Crushing On: River Island

I'm starting a new little writing series! I have found inspiration from other bloggers to do this and I love it as it gives insight on what you like and what others may also like and crush on too! I tell you what I want and why and maybe it will help you with what clothing you may be into! Enjoy!

So I have been loving the fall/winter clothing in River Island! Sadly, I'm completely out of money, so I'm going to show you what I have been crushing on!!

I have asked for one of these items for Christmas! I shall let you know as we go along! Lets get started!

I have tried to get a little bit of everything in this, from tops to dresses to night wear!



From left to right-top row-bottom row
Fashion addict top £15.00, change the channel £15.00,  black baroque  jacket/cardigan £45.00 ,  red Borg Santa onesie £20 on sale,  black and white skater dress £20.00, black patent cut out ankle boots £45.00, dark red tote bag £45.00 and finally gold tone chain necklace £7.00 on sale!! 

For Christmas I have asked for the 'Fashion Addict Top'! I'm in love with every one of these items and they're all monochrome, apart from the 3 obvious things!
I recently bought new boots, but I'm still crushing on the cut out boot!
'The Fashion Addict Top' is totally me and describes exactly what I am!
I love the 'Channel Top' as a twist on 'Chanel', one of my favourite higher end stores!
The bag would add a dash of colour to any of my popular monochrome outfits that I wear a lot recently!
Everybody needs a onesie in the winter and what's best is a Santa style one at Christmas, it's just perfect!
The necklace is a statement piece which I'm addicted to, as it adds some colour to a plain outfit!


I could have picked a lot more than 8 items, but there's so much choice and I would be dreaming of getting it all! 

Please follow and come back for more!

Love you lovelies!
