Going Out Makeup

Image
It's party season with work dos, nights out and Christmas parties so it's always good to have a plan for your going out makeup. I thought I'd share what I like to wear for when I go on a night out, especially at this time of year. Let's get started.  L'Oreal True Match Foundation This is a new foundation I've got, I decided to treat myself to a good quality foundation as I only ever use foundation for nights out and thought this would be perfect. I've heard lots of people recommend it and I thought I'd give it a try especially as I've got my work's Christmas party and another night out this month, Studio London Flawless Cream Concealer I've been loving this concealer for ages. It blends so well into the skin and you hardly notice it's there. It has good coverage and it's reasonable in price which is always a bonus. I wear this for everyday use and for nights out so it gets so much usage out of me.  Collection Gorgeous Glow Blush Stick...

Trip To Liverpool and Manchester

Image
Last weekend me and my mum decided to take a trip up north. We decided to visit Liverpool for one night before heading to Manchester for two nights. Here’s how it went down. On Thursday we booked the Magical Mystery Tour which I’d highly recommend because not only do you get to iconic landmarks like Penny Lane and Strawberry fields but you get to see some of the homes of the Beatles. Plus not only do you get excellent commentary from the tour guide, you get to listen to Beatles music on the drive around the city. Our tour guide was Tony and our bus driver was Dennis who were both amazing on the day.  Also the magical mystery tour gets you 15% off the Cavern Restaurant as well as a free entry plus souvenir postcard from The Cavern Club. On that particular day as well there was a Beatles Tribute band playing as well as a Father Christmas. It was a great evening all in all and worth it. The next day we travelled to Manchester. While on the way we were deciding what we were going to do...

Chapter Twelve

Image
I can't believe we're in the final chapter of 2024. This year just seems to have flown by. It feels like yesterday I was writing Chapter One and I'm amazed I've made it to twelve chapters which is an achievement in itself if you've read my blog previously as I've been known to take breaks from blogging. I know last month, I didn't post very much but life just got incredibly busy all of sudden and I felt like I didn't have time to post so I can only apologise for the lack of posts last month. However, this month is going to be very different because the festive season is here which means I've got a few exciting posts along the way for this month to get you in the mood. I'm also aware that I am close to achieving my blogging goal this month of making 150 posts this year as I got eleven posts to go after this month which means you can expect to see eleven posts from this month. I'm super excited for this month because I love this time of year. I...

November Favourites

Image
It's that time of the month again where I share everything I've been loving this month. I can't quite believe we're at the end of November and December is tomorrow. It's crazy how quickly this year has gone. Anyway, let's get started with my favourites for this month. Cluedo I've been obsessed with this game this month. I've been playing it on my phone but I also discovered it on Playstation and knew I had to get it. Even more exciting was getting the achievements on it which is always a bonus for me when it comes to video games. It's just self satisfaction for me to get as many Playstation trophies as I can. I love Cluedo although I've never actually played the board game. I've only ever played the mobile or Playstation version but it's just fun and every game is different obviously because the card choices are pretty random. I like playing it online because it makes it more interesting but the AI computers are alright as well even if th...

Catch Up

Image
I feel like it's been a while since I picked up my laptop and made a post. November just feels like it only began yesterday but already it's the 20th November and this is my second post in November. It's definitely been a chilled out month but I know I've got a busy few weeks coming up. I'm actually travelling down south tomorrow to visit family which I'm excited about as I haven't seen them in so long. Then the travelling doesn't stop because I'm going away the weekend after to Liverpool and Manchester which I'm excited about. I'm also looking forward to visiting the Christmas markets and getting in the festive mood. I've already completed my Christmas shopping which is nice. I feel like I've gotten some really good gifts this year and actually put a lot of thought into them which is a nice feeling. I'm definitely going to have a Christmas movie marathon and go all out with hot chocolate, festive treats and lots of good movies. I...
