Top 5 Lipstcks for Christmas // Blogmas Day 2




Top 5 Lipsticks For Christmas 2017 // 
Blogmas Day 2

Sunday, December 03, 2017








So its Blogmas day 2, which if everything has worked out means it is December 3rd (because im posting every other day, more info in the Blogmas Day 1 post) and today's Christmas themed post (obliviously, because its Blogmas!) is going to be my top 5 lipsticks for the winter time/Christmas. (NOTE:  All lipsticks shown in this post  are by the brands MAC & Kylie Cosmetics, unfortunately these are the only brands i have that are the right colours that i wanted for this but it shows that the products are very good themselves)The list is not in order of my favorite to least favourite, instead number one is the least expensive going down to number 5 being the most expensive. Just so you know, most of the shades are red/purple berry shades but just in case those type of colours are not your cup of tea i also included two of my favourite everyday more nude/brown shades.

PS. Most photos in this post are NOT mine, everything on ALL my social medias and blog are mine unless said otherwise like today. I couldn't use all of my own as i am trying my best to pre-write as many Blogmas posts as possible so in the end i have the best quality of posts so they are not all rushed and short and it just doesn't seem possible for me.



1. Kylie Cosmetics Velvet 'Sprinkle'

So this colour is apart of the Kylie Cosmetics Birthday Collection and is in the mini velvet set which contains 6 different shades. The set can still be bought on the Kylie Cosmetics website for $36 but the reason it is first on the list is because it would be the cheapest on its own as it has the least amount of product in it (0.70g) as it is a mini.



2. Kylie Cosmetics Velvet 'Commando'


The shade Commando is also apart of the mini velvet set from Kylie Cosmetics so i wont talk too much about that. The colour of the product is in the picture above as there was no point putting the exact same picture in twice, its the second one down from the top.
The difference with this shade is that you can actually buy this product in the full size version and not just in the set. On the website it is $16 for the individual velvet liquid lipstick.


3. MAC Satin Lipstick 'Captive'

(My own Photo)


This lipstick was actually my first ever MAC purchase. I bought it for the Fall/Autumn time but it works perfectly for the Winter time too. It can be bought in various places but is sold at MAC itself for £16.50 but i got mine for £15 as i bought it at the airport on the way back from a holiday. As you can see its a pretty pink/red berry colour that i think would look stunning with a classic smokey eye.


4. MAC Matte Lipstick 'Velvet Teddy'
(MAC Cosmetics)


This MAC shade is a classic lipstick that a lot of makeup lovers have in their collection. me included. This is an every day brown nude shade great for school or natural makeup looks. If you aren't big into bright or dark lip colours, this lipstick would still look good with a festive eye look, the price is the same as the other mac lipstick, £16.50


5. Kylie Cosmetics Matte Lip-Kit 'Kristen'
(Kylie Cosmetics)
Last but not least is the Kristen Lip-Kit by Kylie Cosmetics. I love this colour and got it last year for Christmas. It is quite a bold colour for me as a nude lipstick lover but the colour is so nice with the right eye look. Since it is a lip kit it also comes with a creamy lip liner which makes applying tricky dark colours so much easier, you can buy this for $29 on the Kylie Cosmetics website.



So that was all the lipsticks i had to share with you, the next Blogmas post will be up on December 5th so get excited for that.

Also if you haven't already seen my Blogmas Day 1 post, you should definitely go check that out (there's an announcement in it too)







20 Gift Ideas for Her // Blogmas Day 1




20 Gift Ideas for Her 2017 // Blogmas Day 1

Friday, December 01, 2017





Happy December Everyone! So if you are anything like me you have been ready and waiting for Christmas to come since September but the time is finally here and our advent calendars have begun counting down the 25 doors until Christmas, (or 24 depending on the calendar)

If you you didn't see or don't follow me on my Instagram, i am doing my own little version of Blogmas where i will try my very best to post in a every other day schedule. For example if i post on December 1st (Like today) i will post again on December 3rd, hopefully that made sense and if not you will see what i mean as we go through the month.

So to start everything off i am going to do a simple but definitely needed post which is 20 Gift ideas for her, some of these ideas would also work for guys too but with out anymore talking lets just get straight into things. Also i have a huge announcement so read to the end to see that (im very excited about it)



1. Victoria's secret body sprays

If you know me personally you will know i love these, there is so many different scents and they last all day!



2. Scarfs/gloves

Depending on where you live it can be freezing outside so its important that you stay warm.



3. Movies/ Netflix Membership

In the winter, cozying up and watching a movie is a great night in.



4. Pandora charm bracelet

I got one of these for my birthday back in Spring and love it, you could get someone the bracelet and one charm to start them off or if they already have the bracelet then  you could get them a meaningful little charm.



5. Slippers/pyjamas/face masks etc

With all the stress that the holidays can bring, some face masks and slippers can be a surprisingly great gift you wouldn't always think about.


6. Nail Polish

This is a simple gift that could be bundled together with other gifts or given by itself.


7. Hand Sanitizer

This sounds a little weird but i swear that i have at least 10 bath and body works hand sanitizers and they all smell amazing.


8. Bath bombs

Bath bombs and other bath products are great, just make sure they have a bath.


9. Self Tanner

In the winter our skin gets a little bit paler so if  you know your friend is in to that kind of thing then this would be a good gift for them.

10. Hair ties, dry shampoo, kirby clips

This is a gift from heaven for people who are obsessed about their hair!


Now im going to do 10 more gift ideas without descriptions just so im giving you lots of gift ideas without you having to read pages worth of writing.


11. Fairy lights

12. Pop-sockets

13. Candles

14. Cute mugs

15. Their favourite sweets and chocolate

16. Video games if they are into gaming

17. Light up mirror

18. Bags/Purses

19. Makeup

20. Shoes (UGG's, Adidas etc)


So that was all the ideas i have for you today. There will be some more ideas in a future Blogmas post but you will have to check back to see what it is. I will see you in my next Blogmas post which will be up this Sunday (December 3rd) so get excited for that!
