Advent Calendars!

Hello, 

It's this time of year again. I cannot believe how fast this year has gone. 
So my post today is going to be of my advent calendars, it may just help you decide which advent calendar you want this year. 
I have never been one for having more than one advent calendar, I normally just have a Cadbury's one so I have ventured out a little bit more this year. 

I'm not going to lie, I have always wanted a beauty calendar and Tanya Burr's products, I just never got round to buying them. Beauty advent calendars can be very pricey but worth the money and when I found out Tanya had one out I was so excited and I literally bought one when I next went to town. It has twelve doors, which I prefer because I am going to open one every other day on the odd days, also I think if you had 24 beauty products it would be a bit too much. Tanya's advent calendar was £25 but has been on offer at Superdrug for £15 which personally I think is a good bargain. 
For those who really want to know whats in it, I am not going to show you because I think it ruins the fun of the advent calendar but I will do a post after Christmas showing what products I got and what I think of them. 

I think it is a really pretty design, I love how it looks like a house. 












My second advent calendar is just a general Thorntons. I am more of a Cadbury girl but I also like Thorntons so I thought I would have something different this year. I thought it was cool how you actually got a chocolate on Christmas day, whereas the cadbury ones only go to Christmas eve. 

I hope you enjoyed this post. My next post is going to be a Christmas related post so look forward to that.

Autumn/Winter eye shadow!

Hello, 

I have to admit even though I love makeup, I have never really been one for wearing eye shadow or even buying eye shadow. As I am boring I normally just buy a pot of silver eye shadow and just use that when I go out. I never really liked wearing it because I have never wanted to my eyes to stand out apart from my lashes. 

Recently I decided to buy an eye shadow palette, now because it was my first palette I didn't want to spend to much in case I still really wasn't one for eye shadow. The palette I chose was the Sleek i-Divine vintage romance palette, it was a reasonable price and I had heard good reviews about sleek make-up. The only reason I really bought the palette was for Halloween because I dressed up as mini-mouse and wanted a purple/pink colour, it turns out it has my perfect choice of autumn/winter colors. 

This is the look I went for

I started off by putting the silver colour (surprise!) which is called 'pretty in Paris all over my lid and then ,lightly, I pat the lighter gold colour 'Meet in Madrid', then just on the outer corners blending in I put the slightly darker gold on which is called 'Court in Cannes'. The final part for the lid is just to put some of the matt brown shade in the crease 'Propose in Prague', what I sometimes like to do is get the less sparkly purple shade and put that on the outer corner underneath my bottom lash and if I am going on a night out I will extend that to make it a light wing on my eye.

I thought this would be perfect for autumn/winter because I think the gold matches autumn colors yet because there is lots of glitter in it and some purple it is great for Christmas/winter. 

Overall I ended up really liking the palette and I am sure that in the new year I will go out and buy a more expensive one so I can experiment with colors and share them with all of you. 

I hope you enjoyed another of my makeup posts.

Thank you for reading,
