I’m back!! It has been so long since I did a post. I’m sorry my blog had pretty much come to a stand still as I’ve been busy with my final year of uni. But I am back and I’m gonna try and be disciplined enough to post every few days especially as we are getting closer to Christmas (my favourite time of the year) I really want to share with you my Christmas must haves and ideas for the winter months.
This year I have been super organized -or maybe just a bit too keen, but I have written my Christmas list. I like putting a list together, it helps friends and family have an idea or the sorts of things I am after and it also gives me some things to look forward to and not just buy them for myself -which is me all over, if I see something I like I always find a way to justify buying it.
My birthday is on Boxing Day so I have to wait the whole year for pressies, but it does make Christmas time doubly, extra special for me 🙂 while everyone gets the Christmas blues on boxing day morning I wake up to even more gifts hehe.
As you can see it’s a mixture of all sorts of things, jewelry, clothes, tec and home wear. I know some people have one main something they are after but for me it’s lots of smaller things catch my eye.
I’d love to add a few more charms to my gorgeous Pandora bracelet and these, mostly taken from the spring 2015 collection with the white flowers are so pretty and make great additions to my grey leather bracelet.
I love my Canon camera but this lens with its shallow depth of field would make portraits extra special.
Marc Jacobs Decadence is to literally die for, each time a pass a store with a bottle on display I always give a little spritz and melt a little inside.
Lingerie and nightwear is an area of my wardrobe I don’t spend much money on but a matching set always makes you feel more pretty.
Ahhh a thick, fluffy feather duvet mmmm luxury especially now its colder outside.
This Diva Mac lipstick is the perfect autumn shade as well as gorgeous for Christmas.
And finally anything french bulldog, ggah I am obsessed with their little squished faces.
So there you go a little run down of a few things that have made it on to my Christmas and Birthday List.
Have you written a list yet? Maybe I’ve inspired you, there’s only 6 weeks to Christmas so the count down has begun.
Picking the correct shade is the tricky part. When you go shopping for a new foundation I would say wear minimal to no make up so you can a clean base to work from. If you can I would recommend going somewhere like Selfridges or Debenhams or any department store where the staff are on hand and able to advise and test the products on your skin for you. If you are testing the foundation yourself then apply a small amount to the jaw line, this is the palest area of your face and if the foundation matches this area it will blend easily into your neck for a flawless finish.
