Eylure Christmas Party Lashes

Snow Princess, Frozen Beauty, All Hail the Queen (Top to Bottom) 

Now that it is officially the Christmas season, it is time to take a look at what we might want to wear make up wise to Christmas parties, Christmas Day and even New Years. It can't be just me that likes to plan what make-up I am going to wear as well as what outfit I am going to wear. This Christmas collection from Eylure is the perfect edition to take a normal make up look into something a bit more Christmassy. There are three different limited edition sets in the collection all of which contain a varying amount of sparkle. 

Frozen Beauty

The three sets are All Hail The Queen which are textured lashes with iridescent stones at the lash. Frozen Beauty, which are my fave these are ribbon embellished lashes which have a bit sparkly ribbon in between a few of the lashes. And lastly, Snow Princess which is a volume filled lashes decorated with iridescent sparkles. As you can probably see from the photos (and from hard I found it to take photos of them) it is very subtle the added glitter and are easily wearable to parties without making too much of a statement. 

Would you wear any of these to a party? Let me know in the comments. I can definitely say I am going to be wearing the Frozen Beauty ones on Christmas Day. 

See you tomorrow.

Christmas Gifting Beauty Edition

Hi,

So it's that time in year again. It's Christmas and time to start buying Christmas gifts.

Buying beauty gifts can be difficult, you don't necessarily know what people want or whether they already have something. Unless this said person has kindly provided a list for you here are some of my suggestions for beauty gifts.

After talking about how nicely scented the Ted Baker range was in my haul. I had to include a Ted Baker product as part of my gift guide. This Ted Baker Body Souffle Bauble would make the perfect stocking filler or maybe even a secret santa present due to its small size. The packaging alone makes it look luxurious and the size of the moisturiser is perfect for travelling.

Another cute little stocking filler, maybe for a girl who wants to try different higher end tan is this St Tropez Cracker, which has a 50ml St Tropez instant tan suitable for face and body. A bit of a bigger set here but still affordable is this set of three 50ml body buttercreams from Soap and Glory. This is perfect for someone who maybe hasn't tried the brand before or people who just like a good pamper.

One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six

See you tomorrow!

Getting to Know Me

Hello!

So I thought for my first ever post on my blog I should do a Get to Know Me post, just so that you can get to know me. (Obvs).

Firstly, we will start with the basics, my name is Jess and I am launching my blog on my 22nd birthday, I don't really have a reason for this just though why not start it now, then I can do lots of Christmas posts as this is my favourite time of the year. (Although I have been secretly thinking about Christmas since the beginning of September, eeeeek). My favourite colour is pink, naturally and I love all things make up and skincare and this is what I intend my blog to be about. Hopefully I will be posting everyday, but we shall see.

Now on to some more questions that I think you would be eager to learn about me.

Do you have a middle name?

Yes, my middle name is Louise and part of it is even included in my blog title. 

What was your favourite subject at school? 

My favourite subject at school was Politics, although I did not start this until year 12, I found it subject that I could easily express my views in and be able to argue rationally with other people about points of interest, it also taught me a lot of things that I think everyone should know.

What's your favourite drink? 

Diet coke. I know it is terrible for you but something about it makes me want to drink it all the time. Probably the caffeine. 

What's your favourite song at the moment? 

My favourite song at the moment is Justin Bieber - Sorry. *Cringes* 

What would you name your children?

If I had a girl I would call her Emelia and if I had a boy I would call him Oliver. Although this changes regularly. 

Do you participate in any sports?

During my life I have participated in lots of different sports including running, athletics, rowing and cheerleading. Now unfortunately, I do not have the time to commit to a sport, but still keep fit by doing YouTube fitness videos. 

What's your favourite book?

Now this is a hard one, whilst at university I fell out of love with reading. I feel as though as I was forced to read books at uni I did not want to read books at all. Although I graduated in July I have only just gotten back into it slowly. So I am going to choose a childhood classic and go with the BFG by Roald Dahl, it brings back so many memories of my mum reading it to me when I was young. 

What's your favourite colour?

Pink.

What's your favourite animal?

Polar bear - even though they are more terrifying than they look. 

What's your favourite perfume?

Marc Jacobs - Daisy. 

What's your favourite holiday?

It has to be Christmas. Literally cannot wait for December. 

Have you graduated from high school?

Yes, I graduated from university this year. 

Have you been out of the country?

This year I was lucky enough to go on holiday to Turkey with my family. Although I do intend to some travelling next year.

Do you speak any other languages?

Well.... I did French and German GCSE but I don't think that really counts as I can barely recall anything now. So I'm going to go with no but I wish I could. 

Do you have any siblings?

Yes, I have one younger sister and one younger brother.

What's your favourite store? 

At the moment it is New Look, but again this changes regularly.

What's your favourite restaurant?

I don't have a specific restaurant but I do love Italian restaurants, I could eat pizza and pasta, all day everyday.

Who are some of your favourite YouTubers?

I have a lot of favourite YouTubers and these again change quite often, but at the moment they are Freddy from FreddyMyLove, Corrie from dizzybrunette3, Anna from Viviannadoesmakeup and Amelia from Amelialiana. All of whom have lovely blogs as well.

What's your favourite movie?

It is very hard to pick a favourite film as there are so many classics that I like so I would have to go with Mean Girls or Lion King. 

Do you like school? 

I did like school, but I am glad I am finished with it now. 

What are some of your favourite TV shows?

Some of my favourite TV shows are House of Cards, Suits, Orphan Black and Made in Chelsea. I have also just started watching Pretty Little Liars. (Shocking I know, I am so behind). 

PC or Mac?

I have never owned a Mac, so has to be PC. 

What phone do you have? 

Gold iPhone 5S. 

How tall are you? 

I think I am 5'8. I swear no one knows how tall they actually are. 

Any pets? 

No. But I am desperate for a black pug. 

Thank you for reading and please leave a comment down below with some facts about you so I can get to know you better too or any advice you would give to me as I am very new with all of this. 

See you tomorrow

Jess

P.S Sorry for this being such a long one, but I thought it would be good if the first one was long so that you knew me a bit better.
