Blogmas Day 24 | Christmas Eve!

I can't believe that today is the final day of Blogmas! It has gone by so quickly and i'm so surprised that I actually managed to Blog every single day for 24 days but it makes me so sad that I only have a few more days left of my favourite time of year, I almost enjoy the build up of Christmas and getting in the festive mood more than the actual day because it goes by so quickly but I have enjoyed every minute of feeling festive and I hope that it made you all feel very festive too! Today's post isn't about anything in particular just a little festive ramble! I am very excited to spend some time with my family and enjoy the next few days then get read for some fun new blog posts for the new year! As much fun as it has been to post every day I cant wait for a little festive break doing all the fun things that families do at Christmas! I hope all of you have a very merry Christmas and a wonderful new year! Spend time with your loved ones, eat lots and be merry! I hope the next few days are merry and bright! Happy Christmas everyone!! x

Blogmas Day 23 | Ipsy Glambag Opening

Only 2 days to go!! I was really worried that my Ipsy Glambag wasn't going to arrive in time to be featured in my Blogmas but it arrived by the nick of time and I think it is perfect to feature as one of my final posts in Blogmas! Below is everything I received in this months Glambag!

Marc Anthony Coconut Oil Deep Conditioning Treatment- This smells amazing! The blend of coconut oil and shea butter not only creates the most incredible amount of nourishment and hydration for your hair but it creates the most amazing scent, it smells so tropical and makes me wish I was laying on a beach! I cant't wait to see how soft this makes my hair!

Pacifica Power Of Love Natural Lipstick 'Nudie Red'- I was really intrigued when I saw this because it is 100% vegan and cruelty free which makes me really happy to know that i'm using a product that does no harm to the world! The colour is a bit more earthly than my normal reds but the pigment is really rich and feels really soft when you apply it!

Crown Brush C413 Brow Brush Duo- I quite like being able to try new tools with this bag but when I felt the hairs on the angled end of the brush they felt really stiff and rough. The angled brush I have for my brows already is really soft and I like that so I feel like I might just be using the other end more.

FormulaX Nail Polish 'Revved Up'- This adorable little bottle of festive colour makes me excited for christmas! I have never tried FormulaX before but apparently it is supposed to have a great finish, the colour is really rich and shimmery! This is also a perfect size to travel with too as it's just enough to take with you! I can't wait to try it!

Clark's Botanicals Deep Moisture Mask- This was my one product I wasn't sure about but when I read more about it I couldn't wait to try it! It actually has a really lovely scent and some amazing benefits! It calms redness and softens skin whilst being packed with jasmine absolute and Japanese green tea it helps balance stressed skin! Great for some over Christmas rest and pamper sessions!

Blogmas Day 22 | December Empties!

Only 3 days to go to Christmas!! Even though I don't do regular monthly empties I thought I would do one this month as part of Blogmas. I have been thinking about starting to do regular monthly empties in the new year, although part of me doesn't want to commit because some months I just so happen to use up a lot more products than compared to some months when I just end up using 1 product, so I may just end up doing them occasionally and saving up my empties to have lots to talk about! As for now though below are all the products I have loved using so much they are now empty! Luckily I don't have any products I don't like in this empties haul!

Zoella Fizz Bar- I absolutely love the scent of this which is why I am so sad I finished these adorable little fizz bars! They have such a sweet, fresh fragrance and no colour which is why these are so perfect for a simple pick me up bath! They leave my skin feeling so soft and I can't wait to get my hands on some more! 

Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes- I love the brand Simple and they have been my go to skin care since a very young age, I just love the fact that none of their product irritate my skin! I use these wipes as an everyday makeup removing wipe, they do a really good job and leave my skin feeling soft and fresh!

Nivea Invisible Anti-Perspirant- I bought this little mini when I was travelling as it was just the perfect size to throw in my bag when I was on the go and I actually loved it! First of all it is great because it had white mark protection that actually worked which mean't I didn't have to worry about what I was wearing or putting on whilst wearing this! It has a really nice fresh, floral scent to it too which I loved! I need a big bottle of this!

Sephora Lotus Sheet Mask- I like to pick one of these up every once in a while as I much prefer sheet masks over any other face mask, I find them so easy to use and so much less hassle because you don't have to wash your face off after. My skin did feel very soft after using this, I just didn't like the smell, of all the ones I have tried I don't like any of their scent and I wish they smelt better for something I put on my face!

Gillette Venus Embrace Razors- I have to wear a lot of dresses and skirts to work and so I am constantly shaving my legs, the Gillette Venus line always seems to be the one I go for, they have lot of different razors depending on what you need and I loved these just as much as some of the others! I don't often cut myself and these ones help to have less nicks and cuts and I think they did a great job, it also had a ribbon of moisture which is my favourite because it glides really smoothly and moisturizes your legs!

Blogmas Day 21 | Deck The Halls!

Even though its so close to Christmas already, only 4 days, i'm so excited! I still keep buying Christmas decorations I probably don't need but this is my favourite time of year I always just want to buy everything! I already have my decorations up but I saw these little baubles and they were too cute to resist! My theme for my decorations is red, white and silver so the small ones in those colours worked really well. They were perfect for smaller bits of decoration like garlands and wreaths but I probably really didn't need the pastel coloured ones but I couldn't leave them on the shelf and had to take them home with me! I think I just love the fact that they are so simple but pretty and I wish I had a place for them some where but they just don't go with any of the colours! The pink ones are definitely my favourites, they would look gorgeous on a white Christmas tree with lots of other pastel colours.... now I have slight regret with my colour choices but there are too many choices!!  Although I am very happy with the choices I made for my decorations, I have plain red and white baubles as well as red and silver glitter baubles, dried oranges, glitter pine cones and faux berry sticks! My gorgeous mum helped me do this, everything she does is beautiful especially at Christmas time!

Blogmas Day 20 | Sprinkles Of Warm Vanilla Sugar!

The classic warm vanilla sugar from Bath and Body Works may not be one of their Christmas collections but it's still one of my favourites at winter time, it's one of those really cozy sweet scents. With delicious hints of vanilla almost desert like, it's an irresistible subtle scent! I would say that this would be an ideal scent to buy for someone if you aren't too sure on what they like as it is very subtle but just sweet and yummy! Not only would these make gorgeous stocking stuffers but you could put a few of them together for an adorable gift. My favourites for a gift set would definitely be the foaming hand soap and moisturizing hand lotion because I think that they would be the perfect bathroom set during the winter and I love using them, you get a great foam with the soap and the hand lotion is really moisturizing!  I also really enjoy the body spray because it gives you a splendid sweet sugary fragrance but it's not too heavy. How cute is the packaging too with the sparkling sugar coated flowers. Warm Vanilla Sugar get's a huge pair of festive thumbs up from me!

Blogmas Day 19 | Festive food!

Every year at Christmas time our favouite foods turn into cute little festive characters and shapes and line the shelves of the shops waiting to get us in the festive mood! Some of my favourite sweet treats this year are Cadbury's Snowmen, a thin layer of milk chocolate encases a secret soft white chocolate mousse center, it is such a cute little shape and so yummy! The next thing i'm loving is the Malteaser Merryteaser, I loved these when they bought them out at Easter originally as the bunnies and so when I saw that they had come out with the reindeer for Christmas I was so excited! Soft milk chocolate with the crunch of malteaser pieces mixed in it's just so yummy, it's basically a bigger version of the favourite malteser chocolate in the boxes of Celebrations! Speaking of Celebrations, these are my favourite Christmas selection box by far, forget the Roses and Quality Street! I love all of the selection in there including the Galaxy Caramel, Malteser and Bounty! Nothing feels more christmassy than breaking into a box of those goodies! I think it's safe to say that there will be lots of yummy indulging happening this Christmas but why not, it's Christmas!

Blogmas Day 18 | Lush Peeping Santa Review

It's that time again! More festive Lush reviews! This little guy is one of my favourite festive bubble bars at the moment, bubble bars are so easy to use, you simply just break a piece off and hold it under warm running water for fields of fluffy bubbles! With real chocolate chip eyes and sprinkles of red glitter hearts this little strawberry scented santa is the perfect sweet bath treat. I know that strawberry isn't a very christmassy scent but its too cute and delicious to resist! Packed full of shea butter and cocoa butter it leaves your skin feeling so soft and smooth which is perfect as my skin dries out so easily this time of year with the cold air, as well as leaving your skin dusted with the sweet scent of  fresh strawberries! I just pop this in my bath to relax and re-hydrate my skin on a nice cozy evening!
