Christmas.

So this years Christmas has been a good one, a little bit different to the usual. I woke up at 7, although I had woken up every hour before that as I'm a massive child. Went and put my do they know it's Christmas record on full blast to wake my parents up and ran and jumped on them shouting ITS CHRISTMAS, went down stairs and opened all my lovely presents, my main present was my car, my gorgeous 2006 Toyota Aygo whom I have named Penelope. My mum had put a big gift tag with my name on it that she'd made specially. After presents and chocolate orange me and dad went for a drive in Penelope, found it a bit tricky cause the car I have lessons in is a diesel and it's very different. Listened to Christmas songs the whole drive, got home and got ready in my red Christmas dress and new makeup. My mamma and grandad came round, followed by my godmother, then my friend Hannah (tradition that we see eachother as we've done it since I can remember) had a but of telly time before all the family arrived for dinner. We have dinner at our house and mum does a massive turkey and amazing Yorkshire puddings. I love Christmas dinner especially cauliflower cheese! After taking on dinner me and my cousin had chocolate gu pots and then we all played the game dad got for Christmas 'bullshit', sounds simple but attempting to play games on Christmas with a rather tipsy family is always difficult. After this mum instisted on everyone playing roulette (which none of us understand very well) then we all watched telly for a bit aka festive iron man 3 as dad had the remote. All the family slowly departed after this, we watched some more films, will came round and we watched all the Christmas specials with mar and par. Well mar did fall asleep in the middle of most of them and didn't understand what was happening at all. I think that's all, I really enjoyed Christmas this year. I feel it was more relaxed but when writing this seems totally jam packed! 

Hope you all had a very merry Christmas/  a holly jolly Christmas xo

Howl by Illamasqua.

So recently with my illamasqua order I got a free lipstick in 'Howl' this is a orangey-red colour, its quite a dry lipstick but thats what i would expect from a matte colour. It's very pigmented in colour and lasts a long time. I love a good red lippy, and for me this is a bit different to my usual(normally use MAC-Russian Red) i would say that this is a lighter red as well as being tonally different. I really like this lipstick and will be using it a lot over christmas! Heres some pictures and swatches:

Inside the Christmas house!

Sorry for taking so long, been busy with college and being too tired to do anything else really. So I thought I'd do a mainly photo based post, this year we have gone fully Christmas mad, me and mother love it! This year it's all about the lights for us, so here's (not all just) some photos this is the inside of our home. Will put some up of the outside another time. 

   




Also I went to the clothes show last week so will be posting about all the goodies I got! And believe me it's a lot! See you soon! Thanks for viewing xo

CHRISTMAS

Today we put the Christmas decorations up, me and mum went out and bought even more lights and Christmassy things. We're both Christmas crazy! I love it so much! I'll put some photos up later this week of some of our decorations, we don't really have 'themed rooms' like some people but do have loose colour themes:) 

Have you got any Christmas decorations up? Do you celebrate Christmas? If so how? Leave me some comments on what you do! Thanks for viewing xo
