My Christmas Wish List



 Hello you beauties!

I must admit this to you, but I never really thought about what I actually want for Christmas this year and, to be honest, I haven't actually asked for anything this Christmas. I will admit, that is probably because anything that I might possibly want is too expensive to consider asking for it from friends/family (I never want anyone to spend too much money on me) or it is the sort of thing that I would love to own but would probably never use because of how much it costs and then realistically it would be a waste of money. But if I could ask for absolutely anything for Christmas, regardless of the cost, from my loved ones, then here is my short wish list.

1. A Morphe eyeshadow palette
I have a feeling this may have been on my list last year, or may have been on one (or multiple ones) of my lust lists that I sometimes do, so if you've read my blog before then you may know that I have been wanting a Morphe eyeshadow palette for so long. Who wouldn't want one!? The shade range seems so great and I've heard that the pigmentation of the eyeshadows is amazing.


2. Calvin Klein underwear
Okay, this probably sounds a little weird but recently I have really been wanting some Calvin Klein underwear. A few years ago I used to see all over social media that everyone (well, it seemed like everyone anyway) owned some of this underwear and also back then I thought it was really expensive (which I suppose it is for underwear but it is branded after all). But now I just really want to own some myself - they just look so good and so comfortable! It's a really weird request, but I really wouldn't mind if someone bought me some Calvin Klein underwear for Christmas.


3. Spectrum makeup brushes
As a beauty lover, I will admit that I probably own more makeup brushes than I actually need. But that doesn't stop me from wanting more. And the Spectrum brushes (again, some that I have been wanting for a very long time) are probably some of the most beautiful brushes I have ever seen. I have noticed that they have started to sell a few of these individually in Boots at a reasonable price (priced between £5 and £20 for one singular brush) so I could easily buy them for myself but there would be nothing more satisfying than opening a special set of these on Christmas morning.


4. Harry Potter wand makeup brushes
Yes, there are even more brushes that I want, but these ones are probably some that I wouldn't use but just want to own because they're so great to look at. I am genuinely in love with the Harry Potter wand brushes - they're just so magical (excuse the pun)! If anyone was to buy these for me this Christmas I swear I will love them forever.




5. Mermaid blanket
I am a 20 year old seriously wanting a mermaid blanket this Christmas! I don't know if you have all seen them (but obviously I will include a picture) but I found these mermaid blankets in New Look a few months ago - probably around August time - and immediately wanted one. They come in a pink or a blue-ish teal colour and personally I would go for the blue. They're around £20 each so I've never really felt the need to buy one for myself (as I've never really had the money to be able to spend £20 on one item) but I have been dropping hints at my boyfriend ever since I first saw them.



6. Mini cactus
Okay, so this item may be just as weird as the request for expensive underwear. I always feel like a room needs a plant to make it complete and at uni (when I was in Brighton and then when I move to London next year) having a plant in your room makes everything feel cosy. But I'm just not the sort of person who can look after plants very well. I did buy myself a fake lavender plant to take with me when I moved to Brighton but I genuinely would love to have a little cactus in my room, especially in London. A real plant that takes very little looking after.


So this list was a little bit longer than I originally thought it would be but this would genuinely be the full length of the list of things I would love to receive for Christmas this year. Obviously any gift I receive will be appreciated and loved but these are the only 6 items I would specifically ask for.

What is on your Christmas wish list this year? Is any of it the same as mine?

I'll be back next week with another post for you all.

5 Places to Buy the Best Christmas Jumpers



Hello you beauties!

Welcome to day 16 of Blogmas!

Day 16 of Makeup Revolution Calendar: A baked highlighter

One of my favourite things about the festive period is being able to wear Christmas jumpers! I feel like everyone should own at least one, even if you only wear it on Christmas Day. But where can you find great festive sweaters? I hope my little guide will help you out!

1. Peacocks
I love buying Christmas jumpers from Peacocks! While they may not be the most affordable, as the price range is usually £16-£22, they all look great and are worth every penny.

2. Romwe
This is a company that I have only just recently heard of but they have such great products on their website! This website is great for Christmas jumpers too, as they have such a great range at such affordable prices. Most items are usually £20 or less and there always seems to be a sale on, so get your Christmas jumper from there while you still can!

3. New Look
New Look is always a great place to look if you're looking for a great but affordable Christmas jumper. With prices starting at just £14.99, the Christmas jumpers are so cute and great for casual wear during the festive period.

4. H&M
I have definitely become obsessed with H&M over the past few years and I always love the products there. They sell amazing Christmas jumpers too and I feel like they'd be great for teenagers and young adults. Especially as they're so affordable, ranging between £5.99 and £14.99.

5. Primark
Out of everywhere you could buy Christmas jumpers from, Primark is definitely my favourite. They range from the super cute and casual all the way to the cringey ugly ones - you can find one perfect for any occasion! They're the most affordable too, as I've never seen one any more expensive than £14.

Feel free to share with me your favourite places to buy Christmas jumpers and also share your favourite Christmas jumpers in general with me! I hope you all found this post helpful today.

I'll be back tomorrow for day 17 of Blogmas!

My Favourite Summer Accessories 2016

Disclaimer!: I do not own any of these pictures (I'm still not confident enough to post pictures of myself on here) sorry!

Hello you beauties!

As I said in my last post, this post would work really well with my previous post. Of course I'm right! This is an accessories post, a must to complete any perfect outfit!


1. Sunglasses are a go-to for me during the Summer, when the Sun actually appears! Not only do they look great but they're also very practical - I usually wear them while driving so that I don't cause any accidents! You can buy great sunglasses for a very low price from Primark, but I am also loving wearing my Bourjois sunglasses.


2. Floral crowns/headbands are something I love wearing during the Summer months, and these are even more perfect when paired with a lovely playsuit or dress. I don't like wearing the massive ones, but you can buy cute little headbands from New Look for a reasonable price. They're also great for festivals!


3. Little stud earrings are something I usually wear anyway but I love them even more in Summer. They look great with most outfits, and again I am loving wearing flower studs! My favourites at the moment are my Pandora daisy stud earrings, which are great paired with a summer dress.


4. I love wearing sandals during the summer as they look cute, are easy to wear and keep your feet so cool! I love wearing simple sandals as I can pair them with absolutely anything.


5. Watches are perfect accessories during the summer. With people travelling a lot more, it is handy to know the time without having to rummage around in your bag for your phone. I love wearing pastel or metallic coloured watches for that extra pop of colour.

So there were 5 accessories that I love during the summer! Let me know what your favourite summer accessories are.

I'll be back on Saturday with another post for you all!
