Blogmas 2015 - Blushes - Day 1

Hi Guys!

So as you can tell by the title this blog post is not only about blushes but I have decided to attempt blogmas again!! 

I am so excited that it's the first of December! I have been waiting for this day for weeks!! Now I can finally be festive and it's perfectly acceptable! 

Anyway enough about Christmas, by the end of the month you'll be fed up with Christmas chat! 

I decided to show you the four different blushes which I own and do mini reviews about them as I feel I have been lacking with beauty posts recently.

From left to right, the first is a blush and highlight stick by KIKO, the second is a velvet touch creamy blush also from KIKO and the next is an MUA powder blush and the last is a MUA mixed blush. 

This blush is great for when you are in a rush it's a subtle blush so if your rushing around and don't blend it properly it doesn't matter that much and the highlighter is brilliant as you can basically draw lines on your face and have flawless make up! 

This next blush is a bright blush but when 

blended in gives you a nice and natural warm glow. KIKO is really winning with blushes at the moment, if you haven't already joined the KIKO hype please go and rest some of their makeup. It's reasonably priced and great quality! 

This next one is defiantly a bit worn but it's too much of a good product to leave out. This I use when I want a really blush look rather than bronzed as it is really bright and pigmented, defo not one to use if your in a rush and don't have time to work with it. 

This next blush is fairly new to my make up collection; I haven't really used it enough to comment on it yet however I love the concept of it and as it is MUA it is dirt cheap! 

What blushes do you use? Any recommendations? I normally go for a more bronzed look but really want to branch out a bit! 

Happy 1st December

Life Update

 Hi guys,

Oh my god where has November gone? It's flying by!! I feel like this whole year has just disappeared in front of me! Although looking back I have done so so much! 

As I said a few blog posts back when I changed my blog name I've decided to make this a beauty and lifestyle blog as I quite like having a sort of online diary! 

So here's a little life update for you :) 

I went to a Disney themed firework show this month which was so nice! We met a few friends and had a lovely time! 

I also made a cake for my works Bake off! It came fourth out of 10 which I am pretty chuffed about!! My theme was bonfire and fireworks so... 

This was my cake!

I have also fallen head over heals for Autumn/Winter fashion! I mean hooded furry capes!!! So have a shameless selfie of me in my winter gear! I am going to do a 5 winter outfits post but I want to wait until I'm in London this weekend to get more Christmassy photos!

I also had my nails done yesterday and I cannot tell you how much I love my mermaid nails!! 

They glitter cool colours but obviously it's hard to see in a photo!

So far nothing else exciting has happened yet in November! Although I'm off next week to London for my Christmas London weekend with A which I am so excited for :) 

That's what I've been up to this November what have you done? 

Let me know in the comments below!

Have a great day :)

Love Em x

Happy Halloween 2015🎃

Hi Guys! 

Happy Halloween! I can't quite believe that it's that time of year all over again but I can honestly say that it is my most favourite time of year ever!

This is more of a chatty post because I really wanted to show you my pumpkins!

Last night my boyfriend and I decided to carve the pumpkins that I had bought earlier in the week now that he is back from uni for the weekend. 

I mean I am super proud of my pumpkin, my boyfriend is an artist so I was expecting mine to be soooo bad in comparison but when you put them together mine looks pretty good too!!

Can you guess who's is who's? 

What are my plans for today? 

Well... I have such a busy day ahead so I decided that I will tell you what I am planning to do and then update you all tomorrow!

So on Monday I am taking part in my works take on Great British Bake Off and I am the first to bake in my team... My theme is fireworks/Guy Fawkes! 

So today I am going to make and decorate the cake ready for Monday and then I am meeting my friends in the evening for dinner at Nandos. 

Then I am going out!!! Obviously it's Halloween!🎃 so I am going to come home and have a lush bath with the below bath bomb or melt or bubble bar I can't remember which it is!

It would be rude not to! Check out my previous post to see all of the festive things I bought from lush!

Then I am going to do my make up and paint my boyfriends face ready for what I hope will be a brilliant night out!! 

Tweet me pictures of your pumpkins or Halloween make up @Emrosee_x I would love to see them!!

See you all tomorrow (if I survive my crazy busy spooky day!!) (I'm sure I will)

Love,

Emily X
