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'.

September 2019 Favourites

With moving house and being really busy I haven't tried anything new but what I have been doing is using up all the products I have half used so I didn't have to find somewhere to store them so here are a few favourites of mine.

TAG: The Resolutions 2019

Yet another TAG that I found on NikkieTutorials but I have slightly changed it because some of the questions are before you the year starts whereas the year has started.

Looking Back

1. Name 3 things you did in 2018 that you’re proud of

1. Launched my blog
2. Launched my business
3. I don't know

December 2018 Favourites + Dislikes

The last monthly favourites was back in July so thought I would do my final one of 2018.

BEAUTY

Benefit Dandelion Twinkle Powder Highlighter
My sister Amelia has been back from university for the Christmas celebrations, I love it when she is back because I get to try new makeup and skincare that she has and this is one item that I have been using for a while now from her makeup collection and I love it.

Collection Speedy Highlighter
I love this highlighter, I put a line of it on both upper cheek and then pat it in with my fingers, it can be a subtle highlighter or you can make it slightly more dramatic which I love, normal highlighters cling to the dry patches whereas this one doesn't.

Fame
I was at the park a while ago with my family and family friends and one of our friend's smelt so good so I had to ask what it was and it's Fame another Essential Scent fragrance.

TAG: This or That (Beauty & Fashion Edition) #Blogmas2018

I saw on NikkieTutorials blog she did this TAG post so thought I would try it out myself because I'm nosy and would like to know what you would choose so please comment below or link me in a social media post if you do it yourself.

MAKEUP

Blush or Bronzer: Bronzer - I have naturally rosy cheeks.

Lipgloss or Lipstick: Liquid Lipstick - I am loving at the moment LipSense® Lip Colour in Nude Pink with LipSense® Lip Glossy Gloss so kind of both of them.

Perfume Collection 2018 #Blogmas2018

I thought I would share my perfume collection on my blog, I used to have a lot of designer perfumes but ever since I started trying Essential Scent I used theirs.

FOTD & OOTD: Simply Claire's Salon Christmas Fayre #Blogmas2018

I don't do many fashion blog posts and really want to get into them a little more so thought I would show you an outfit that I wore to Simply Claire's Christmas Fayre that I had a stand at for my business Maude & Noah plus also the makeup I worn in which one of the products I am actually doing first impressions on for a blog post.

I just want to say that I am not a professional makeup artist, hairdresser, nail technician or stylist, this is all self taught (kind of- explanation in a blog post coming up).

GIVEAWAY: Christmas 2018 #Blogmas2018

To kick off Blogmas I have put together a Christmas giveaway, giving away a few of my favourite products plus a few interesting products that I am testing out myself (you get new versions).

WHAT'S IN THE GIVEAWAY:

Birthday & Christmas Wishlist 2018

I love giving gifts, I feel awkward when I get given a gift because I have a terrible poker face. I get asked by family and friends what I want for my birthday and for Christmas so I thought I would do a blog post showing some ideas of gifts I would like. I know I won't get everything on this list, I have put things on there that I would like and maybe there is somebody in your life that is similar to me and you might be able to get ideas from this for them. I have also given options on where to get the product from. I knew I wanted to do this blog post so I started writing it back in September and weekly adding and getting rid of things that I purchase for myself for example a kitten.

BATTLE OF THE DUPES #2: Armani vs. What If?

I love the Armani Si eau de parfum and would constantly 'borrow' my sisters - I have never had the eau de parfum so constantly spray it when I am in the store because I love it so when a friend recommended a cheaper product that smelt very similar I decided to try it out.
