Favorite Winter Look

Favorite Winter Look

In winter i tend to lean towards the more festive colours for my makeup. I was complimented so many times last week whilst wearing this look so i thought id share it with you guys, as im in love with this look!.

Bare in mind these photos were taken when i had returned home from a day of outings 

I think the reason why i love this look so much is because of the subtle eyes and bold matte lips.



 My foundation is rimmel and my eyebrows are avon perfect eyebrow kit.
On my eyes i lined them with avon blackest black glimmer stick and blended it around the edges.
For mascara i used Avon super extend in black and on my lips i have sleek matte me lipgloss in Rioja Red and i am in love !!


The best thing about this lipgloss is that is does not move AT ALL and for a mere £4.99, i think that is amazing! i can eat and drink and touch my lips and i get no transfer what so ever. It is so pigmented and at such a small price!

This for me is a defo christmas daytime makeup and i hope you all try it out as well

Thanks for reading!!

CHRISTMAS BUYS

So at the weekend i went to see my best friend who is attending university in Manchester. I had a much needed break and i loved every second of it.

When i got there (which was quite late i must add). We went for a meal at pizza express and then went and tried our luck at the shops in town (which obviously were not open). On the second we did the obvious thing which is Manchester, i don't normally buy myself much out of my own money but this time i treated myself.

To start the day we had a really nice brunch at a cafe next to the student halls called cheeky. I had a chicken salad with a bottle of water and a large latte (which tasted amazing) and lileth had a baguette and an ice tea and a large latte too!!


 These are from primark, they go amazing with a top ive recently bought which will look nice with a black pencil skirt and these dollys and at a bargin prics of £5 cant go wrong really (eeks with excitement)

This little last minute gem was from boots. I dont own any sleek products at all, so buying my first one made me very excited. ive heard so many places bringing out matte lipsticks and lipglosses. I am one for trying new things so i picked one up on my favorite lip colour (red) for a mere £4.99


The one thing i wanted to purchase im Manchester was the Clinique take the day off cleansing balm. My luck being my luck none of North West have got it so i had a look around and was looking for a good 15 minutes and this is the one i chose. The scent of it is just amazing and ive fallen in love with this cleanser already and i think every one should have it in there skin care routine !

This is just a Mr Grumpy mug for my dad for Christmas 

 This is a 25th addition of Matilda for my sister for Christmas ! shes going to love it !

 some adorable Christmas cards 

A christmas tree at the side of the Christmas markets ! 


overall this little weekend made me so happy ! i loved seeing all of Manchester all twinkly and bright and Christmasy 

thats all ive got to say for now
