REVISIT: NYX HD Studio Photogenic Foundation

CLAIMS:

• Enhance the appearance of silky smooth skin.
• Achieve a picture-perfect look any time you're in the spotlight. 

Birthday & Christmas Wishlist 2019

Last year I did a blog post called Birthday & Christmas Wishlist 2018 and people really loved it so thought I would do one this year now I don't expect to get gifts from family or friends but if I am lucky I thought they could look at my list and see the sort of things I am interested in.

Now my birthday is in November and I am planning on going to Sweden for my birthday so I am going to be cheeky and say if anybody is planning on getting me a birthday gift could it be money to put towards my trip, I plan to go visit a few museums and bits and as Tesco say 'Every little helps'.

Now I know a few members of my family and also friends read this blog and I know there are some questions people probably want to ask and they won’t directly ask us and they will probably be answered further down below in the blog as well as answering rumours being answered so here goes.
