The Perfect Festive Lipstick

Hello!!   Mac Ruby Woo is by no means new on the scene but I've only just discovered it after picking it up in duty free on my way to Paris last month. I don't know why it's taken me so long to realise what a beauty it is. Now that it's in my life I know this will be my go to lipstick around Christmas time. I know some people are a little bit scared of red lips but personally I see nothing wrong with wearing it in the day with a clean eye or amping it up in the evenings with winged eyeliner or really pushing the boat out with a brown smokey eye. As it's blue toned it makes your smile appear whiter and with it being matte it doesn't budge on the lips. I would make sure your lips are nice and smooth before using it though as it will draw attention to any flakiness. Next time your near a Mac shop I would definitely have a look at this and you'll be sorted for Christmas time, now just all the presents to get!

A little Paris haul

  Hello!! I know I've done a few Paris posts now, I hope your not getting bored but I'm enjoying re-living my holiday through writing them. I thought I'd share what I bought while I was away with you. It wasn't really a shopping holiday but I did manage to fit in a few pharmacy's as I'd heard they were great for finding skin care gems and they definitely didn't disappoint.My boyfriend found it really strange how excited I was getting every time we seen one but they were always filled with shelves and shelves of amazing brands that were much more affordable than at home. Hope you enjoy!  

Mac Ruby Woo: I actually picked this up at the airport on the way out, can't resist a bit of duty free. It's a colour I've been meaning to get for ages, I can't wait to test it out on a few Christmas nights out.

La-Roche Posay Serozinc: I've heard so much about this stuff that I knew I had to get some when I was away. This has been raved about from loads of bloggers and as it's not part of La-Roche Posay's UK line I went back and picked up a second bottle.

Caudalie beauty elixir: I know you can get this in the UK but as I've never seen it in my city and it seamed to be a little bit cheaper in Paris I thought it was a good time to try it out. Again this has had a lot of hype behind it and from what I've used so far I can see why.

Loccitane almond shower oil: I've had this before and absolutely loved it so when I seen that it was a lot cheaper in France I had to get some. A little goes a long way with this and as I was lucky enough to get another bottle for my birthday when I got back, I am well stocked for the forcible future.

That's it for everything Paris realted now. Things may start getting a bit festive over here so keep checking back!

Disneyland (and my first youtube attempt)

 

Hello!!

Something a little bit exciting today, or at least I think so. I've made a little video of our time in Disneyland. It's literally my favourite place in the world (I've not been to Florida yet so that could all change) so I wanted to share my time there. It means I can watch it over and over again too and re-live the memories. Hope you all enjoy.

 

Paris in Outfits: Day 4

  Hello!! This is the last of my Paris outfits. This day was quite chilled as we were flying back in the afternoon so just did a little bit of sight seeing whilst searching for the best macaroons (pretty sure we found them too). We went for a little stroll down the Champs Elysees and visited the Eiffel tower. Paris is such a pretty city, check out the view from the hotel room!! I hope you've enjoyed my outfits posts. I really enjoyed making them and would like to do more in the future so let me know what you think. I would like to thank my boyfriend/photographer for helping me make them, he's a good'un. I have a couple of other Paris related posts planned so keep checking back to see.

Paris in outfits: Day 3

Hello!! Another outfit post today. This was a Disney day, which in my opinion is the best kind of day. I absolutely love Disneyland and had the best time. It wasn't too busy so we managed on get on all the rides and see a couple of shows and parades. It was definitely my favourite day of the trip. Apologies for the quality of the pictures in this post, I didn't take my canon to Disney as I thought it might get a little bit knocked on the roller coasters but I think they turned out ok any way, let me know what you think.
