Recently I picked up three big bags full of clothes and other bits
and bobs from Primark. They have some great winter woolies and festive bits in
there at the moment. So I thought that I would film a little video to show you
all the lovely things that I bought…well it would be rude not to!
I love day/week in the life style vlogs. I love watching them,
filming them (although I’ve only previously uploaded two onto my YouTube channel), I just think they’re an amazing way to document memories and also to
gain an insight into a person’s life.
So with that being said, I’ve decided to start uploading weekly
vlogs, which I’m really exited about! I plan to film three days out of my week and
share them with you.
This week consisted of Christmas shopping, carol singing (I love a
good carol service haha) and a little trip to choose our Christmas tree, which
I also found extremely exiting!
Let me know your thoughts on the video and whether you would like
to see more! If you really enjoy it,
feel free to give it a big old thumbs up!
During the festive season there are some things that I just can’t do without! Christmas is my
absolute favourite time of the year and I love to revel in it. This means that
when it comes to my fashion sense, beauty products and other bits and bobs, I
change it up and things get festive, and I mean festive! The winter jumpers and the warm woolies come out, glitter
nail polishes become the norm and thanks to advent calendars, eating chocolate
at breakfast time also becomes a normality – this in itself makes me feel very good about life!
I hope you enjoy this video, what are your festive favourites?
I do love a dark lip at this time of year, I just feel so festive
with berry shades on my lips. However, this year I realised that all of my
festive lipsticks were exactly that – berry
shades with red undertones. I’ve been feeling a more plum vibe recently and
none of my lipsticks were the correct shade for that sort of malarkey, so naturally an online shopping spree was
in order.
I ordered Charlotte Tilbury’s Glaston-Berry which is a gorgeous
deep plum shade, still with hints of red though; so I wasn’t straying too far
from my comfort zone with this one. It’s very moisturising which is great as
sometimes I find that dark lipsticks can be drying which can lead to
unflattering chapped lips, which we all know is a lipstick’s worst enemy! I
also like the fact that this can be either patted on with a light hand for a
hint of colour, or layered up for an all out glamorous look. I find that this
is a wearable colour for both daytime as well as nighttime occasions.
The other lipstick that I chose was MAC’s Cyber, this one is an extremely daring blackened plum shade. I
can’t quite express how much I love it,
I think I’ll wear this more so on an evening than during the day as it is such a bold colour. It’s a satin finish,
so while the colour payoff is top notch, it’s not quite matte so is still
moisturising on the lips.
I chose MAC’s Nightmoth lip liner to wear underneath both of these
shades, it is a deep auberginecolour
which matches Cyber perfectly. I also like to wear it underneath Glaston-Berry,
however it does make this shade appear slightly more purple; so I also like to wear
Glaston-Berry by itself to enjoy the best of both worlds.
Okay, so you know the drill by now. Without further ado, here is the
video in which I share all of my favourite things of the past month! Hint - beauty junkies, you’re in for a treat with this one!
