Blogmas Day 15: The End of the Giveaway!

Today is the day that my Christmas giveaway finished! I'm quite surprised at the amount of entries I got with this giveaway and definitely makes me feel confident to do another one in the future! Seeing as my 50 follower giveaway clashed with my Christmas giveaway - I will be running this sometime in the new year just to save confusion at the time for me and you guys too! 

Any who... I bet you want to know who the winner is... Well its Jessica M! Congratulations! Your goodie bag will be with you as soon as I post it!

I know its a short post today but hey, I'm working my butt off to get these up each day at the moment so I thought Id add some of my favourite Robbie the Reindeer Clips below for you too watch!







Only 10 days till Christmas!!!!!!

OOTW: Fairly Fairisle

Last week Wednesday I had my first physio session (which I absolutely hated) and after I decided to just do a little bit of shopping and I just saw this super cute outfit with my mum and I just had to have it! (Cheeky little Christmas tree in the back as well!!)



Reindeer Fairisle Jumper dress, Peacocks - £16


Earmuffs, New Look - £4.99


Black Leggings, Peacocks - £7


Victorian Fur cuffed boots, Clarks - £54.99









For my make-up I just did a simple neutral eye shadow effect with a light brown going in the crease if my eye for effect. I kept it simple with just adding mascara using my new Scandaleyes mascara by Rimmel. I used the lipgloss from my Victoria Jackson 24/7 portfolio palette just for an extra shimmer. 

I am finally getting my hair chopped again so I can get my fringe sorted out! Another haul will be coming up soon, which I may put on YouTube so watch out for that too!

Make sure you check out my Christmas Giveaway!

Lots of Love

Halloween OOTW: Vintage Broken Doll


Hello again! As mentioned in yesterdays nail tutorial, I had to delay my OOTW to today due to a bunch of health issues that have arisen (my luck being they made me have another x-ray today so this post is still lucky to even be going up today!). I wanted to do something a little more animated instead of super creepy like last time - which I thought was not a bad effort for an amateur!

What You Will Need
Black Eye-liner
Black, 
Glitter Grey, Pink, Blue and Purple Eye-shadow
Katy Perry Fake Eyelashes 'Sweetie Pie'
Maybelline 24Hour SuperStay Lipstick

Step 1 First of all you need to prepare your face as you would for any normal daily routine. For example I started by using a face wash and primer before applying my MUA and Collection 2000 concealers. I then applied my Miss Sporty Blemish Foundation and Rimmel 25 Hour Stay Foundation. Then finish with my Natural Collection pressed face powder in 'Warm'.

Step 2 Next you want to do your eye-shadow  I used pink on the inner side of the eyelid and purple on the outer and blended these going outwards. I then added a glittery grey into my crease just for more effect and then blended.

Step 3 Now onto your eyelashes. I first applied the Barry M Mascara to my eyelashes before applying my Katy Perry 'Sweetie Pie' Eyelashes to the lash line. You want to adjust the false eyelashes so you are comfortable with them and they sit correctly on your eyelid and lash line. 

Step 4 Now you are moving onto the freehand bit! Here you will need your black eye liner. You just need to make a little hollow shape on your face - I opted to put this over the visible spots on my face, perfect thing to cover them! You want a shape like the picture above and also to add lines to show your face is cracked. (Don't forget, old vintage dolls were often made out of porcelain or china, so they were very easily broken!).



Step 5 Now you will need your black eye-shadow - I opted to use eye-shadow instead of the liquid liner, just because I thought it gave more depth and effect. I just used a normal small eye shadow brush and I didn't blend it in either!

Step 6 Now you want to get your eye-liner again and your blue eye shadow and create tear drops - this is optional but I just wanted to add a more creepy and sad effect to this deserted broken doll look! With you eye-liner just create a tear-drop shape, and then fill in the inside with blue eye-shadow (Do not blend!)

Step 7 Now onto your lips, I decided to do mine in a heart shape, just to adopt the whole doll feel. I just used the lipstick wand provided with my Maybelline Lipstick, but if you prefer to use lipstick then you can just use a lip liner to create the shape and add the lipstick.

Step 8 For the final touch, you just need to do your hair. I put my hair in 2 pigtails, as this is the cutesy doll feel, and just back combed my hair for that distorted and mistreated effect of matted hair, I then took my fringe, because its so long I just pushed it back into a swirl and added a bow.

Costume Time!

Beauxoxo Runner-Up Giveaway Bag! (I Also Need Your Help!)

Good day my absolute lovelies! If I hadn't already mentioned, I entered the Beauxoxo Giveaway on Facebook and ended up being one of the runner-ups! (Which for me is a huge achievement as I don't tend to win that much!) So I thought I would share with you all what I received in my little bag! I'm actually really chuffed with what I got as well, there is always that risk of getting something you don't like, however I haven't found that with this and I love everything inside!


Lets start with the picture on the right, these are all the accessories I received! The first one is a large bow from Beauxoxo itself, I've been questioning myself whether to get one or not and when getting one in this little bag it has definitely swayed me to wanting to get more! I love the mixture of different colours on this bow as its super easy to pair up with a few outfits! This is a thin crocodile clip on the back and sits really nicely in your hair! Because my hair always has a super shine to it, bows tend to slip out a bit so I just like to secure then with another clip or wear them while my hair is tied up! This would look perfect paired up with a sock bun near the top of your head, as its a very cutesy sort of look! 



The next accessory is this beautiful Glitter Bottle Necklace from Megan Jane Jewellery. I absolutely adore this colour blue in this necklace! It is stunning and super gorgeous! This pairs up amazingly with my Classy Bella Dress in Turquoise from Lindy Bop! I also super love that this has a gold chain on it, instead of a silver chain! I do find a lot of products has simple thin chain's making just the charm on the necklace the only focus! However, I like the loops on this chain as they aren't too small and just add to this beautiful little piece!



The next gorgeous little accessory is this gorgeously cute brooch from 'Love From Hetty & Dave'. This is so super adorable, and I may just purchase a few more of their products! This cute little Ice Cream Brooch is made from leather and the ice cream sewn on to it! I love that it is in a rosette shape, just makes me love it even more! Its also really easy to pair with a few of my dresses which come to mind straight away with the use of the 3 different colours making it super versatile to match things up! 




The last accessory I got was this gorgeously adorable Cat nap ring from I Love Crafty - this is so super cute, and I like wearing this on my little finger, just cause it looks soooo cute! (My nails are also painted in Strawberry Ice Cream Shade by Barry M). 


The last 2 items I got in my goodie bag is the 2 beauty products - the first is the Steam Cream 'Freshely Handmade Moisturiser' this can be used on your face, body and hands! This smells so super divine, and feels amazing! I might go and purchase some more of the products in the very near future! (You can find out the process of how they make this moisturiser with Steam on their website here). The next product is this beautiful Macaroon Bath Melt in Coral Bay from Miss Patissrie. I super duper LOVE that this has a petal on top, and it combines my 2 favourite things - bathroom smellies and baking into one! I will definitely be having a bath to try this gorgeous little thing out!


Any who my dears! That's all from me today! I will see you all on Sunday for my weekly overview! I also have 2 things in mind but not sure whether to pursue in them or not... The first being should I create a Facebook Page for my blog? It may help to bring more people to my blog? What do you think? The second being should I do a body confidence post on being a plus size blogger, how I feel about the fashion 'restrictions' and how I cope within it, shedding light on how you can make yourself more confident? I feel at the moment maybe my content is a little bland and needs spicing up a little more so if you have any suggestions at all I'd be super thankful!


Tonnes of Love & Hugs!
