This Cheese Board is £30, and comes personalised!

 

 

 

 

Now my boyfriend loves his watches. But a watch is one of those things that they will either love or hate in my opinion and I have found some of the nicest watches for men at ASOS, you can find them here! http://t.co/VbTiZ1CX30 

 

 

 

Although my boyfriend personally wouldn't like this style, I think its such a lovely watch from ASOS. There watches have a price range between £30 to £100 and they are all so lovely. You can also find many more gifts from them, lots of lovely bits and bobs!

November Favourites

 

 

 

Hello, its that time of the month again, these are some of the things I have really been enjoying this month!

 

 

1. Barry M Starry Eyed shadow and blush palette has been my best friend this month! I am yet to use the blush, but this palette has some beautiful gold and brown tones that are perfect as an all over colour for my eyes! This palette is a pretty new purchase and is new from Barry M, I love these palettes because they are so high quality!

 

2. Next up is a brow product and I have been using this every day this month for my brows, its just one of them go to products that every girl needs, and it is Rimmel Brow This Way. I love how handy this product is and the colour is just right for my brows!

 

3. Next up is a brush I have been using with my Barry M palette, this is the Blending Brush from Bobbi Brown.  I find this to be such a great all round brush for all eye looks and I love it!

 

4. My background is very floral right? Well it is actually a lovely Tea Dress from Forever 21. I brought it in the sale and I can not wait to wear it! I also brought two other dresses from Forever 21 and a pair of jeans

 

5. I am sure you will all of heard of this, but this month I have really been loving Cappuccino nail polish from Barry M. Its a nude brown colour, I also lovely Barry M nail varnishes in general because they are such amazing quality!

 

6. Mono Professional skin care treatment oil is something I actually got in my Glossy Box.  I had never heard of the brand before, but the full sized product is £25.99, but after using it the past two weeks I will without a doubt be repurchasing it! This stuff has completely cleared my skin! ITS AMAZING!

 

7. Collection Lengthening Mascara , now I am still unsure about this mascara for the simple reason that it smudges so much. But I makes my lashes look so long, now my lashes are very short and annoying and I have never really got into mascara for the simple reason I have never made the time to really make them stand out, this mascara makes me have the lashes of my dreams

 

 

8. I have always loved benefit porefessional and wanted to look for a cheaper alternative. Now as much as I hate that this primer comes as a solid, this does what is says on the tin, and also glues my make up to my face all day, this primer is the Seventeen flawless Poreless and is one I will be buying again

Moving House To Do List

 

 

 

Hello dolls, in exactly two weeks today ( fingers and toes crossed ) I am moving into a flat with my wonderful boyfriend Rob. Now, I am very excited and can not wait to move and make it our home. But with Christmas coming up, I've already got many things to buy, and I'll be honest I like to treat myself to Christmas Gift sets! So I wrote a  list and today I am going to share it with you, as some of you may find this a fun read

 

 

 

 

 

1. Yankee Candles

 

With Christmas coming up, Yankee Candles are a must for any home. So with a new home to make smell lovely I will be buying many candles! As Yankee candles are slightly expensive I may just buy one big one and get a few from places like Primark and Superdrug like the Zoella Beauty one, ( my boyfriend doesn't like Zoe's candle because he thinks it smells to girly, but isn't that the point? )

 

 

2. Scatter Cushions and blankets

 

These I will probably get from either Primark, Wilkinson or IKEA. I enjoy having cushions everywhere and they work so well in colour themed rooms which is what I am going for. I think these little items will make it very cosy for winter

 

 

3. Make-up Desk

 

This will defiantly be an IKEA job as they do the best furniture for make-up! And its all white so perfect for those Instagram photos. This is one thing I really can not wait to buy, I can't wait to finely have a nice big home for my make-up. At the moment my make-up is very limited to space which is something I don't enjoy

 

4. Kitchen

 

Okay so cute mugs, vintage style kettle, nice plates and really cute tea towels? yes, I am determined to have the cutest kitchen in the world. I am going for a pastel themed kitchen so it will be very girly. My plan is to use old style jam jars and fill them up with different types of things and have them all on display, I will do a kitchen tour once it is finished!

 

5. Photo Frames

 

Memories are important to me, and I plan to fill our home full of photos of our memories together. I feel this will make it feel very much like home and will always make me smile

 

6.Lush

 

I am going to take a trip to Lush and buy lots of bath goodies to enjoy over Christmas. I know you may be thinking why don't I do that where I live now, but I live with my boyfriend, and his parents don't like many things, including a bath full of glitter. But when I move I am going to go bath bomb cray cray!

 

 

Thank you for reading Mondays Lifestyle Post

Hello dolls

 Today I am going to share with you my eye shadow palette collection which is growing and growing. How has your week been? Mines been pretty busy, I am sorry for little instagram posts and tweets, me and my boyfriend have just got our move in date to the new flat and everything has been a little hectic on top of me starting my new job. I work at BANK which I am sure you know is a fashion and footwear store, I am really enjoying it! I have never worked in fashion retail before so I'm enjoying helping ladies pick out Christmas jumpers and what not. Any way, lets take a look in my palette collection!

 

 

 

I have a grand total of 6 palettes. Two are Make-up Revolution, Barry M, MUA, Elizabeth Arden and Urban Decay. I also decided to put my little Rimmel 4 shadow kit in for some reason, I don't really use this anymore because it is super dark, but I keep it for my collection anyway!

I am sure I don't need to tell you what this amazing palette is, but if you don't know, its Urban Decays Naked 3 palette. I adore this palette, the colours suit my bluey greeny eyes perfectly! My favourite shadow in the Naked 3 palette is probably Factory, its a slightly light brown that I put in the outer corners of my eyes to give the effect that I have put effort in on mornings that I am rushed. This is the most expensive palette I own, but I would say it is so worth it because you can create a load of wearable day and night looks with this beautiful palette

This is a Make-Up Revolution palette and cost only £4. This one is called Romantic Smoked, I actually brought this for mine and my boyfriends one year anniversary to create a super pretty smoky eye for the meal. This palette is like no other and creates so many nice looks, very suitable for Autumn and Winter due to the dark greens and purples and gold shimmers! This palette will get lots of love over Christmas by anyone who owns it

 

Right

 

As you can probably see this palette looks awfully similar to...the Naked 3 palette? Yes! This is Make-up Revolutions dupe of Urban Decays Naked 3. And let me tell you this, there is no difference between the two. This palette is highly pigmented and the product is such high quality. This palette has had so much love I can't even tell you

This is a very old but extremely great Elizabeth Arden palette with blush. I really love this palette and as Autumn was coming this year went through a long stage of wearing the brown red shade over and under my eye and it looked lovely. The only negative thing I have to say on this palette is the shadows can sometimes be drying on my eyelids. The colours and so rich and perfect and the blush is a lovely red to peachy shade

 

Left

 

This is MUA undressed palette that I brought about a month ago. This is a great palette and is full of pretty natural shades that can be worn with 'no make-up make-up'. There are lots of shimmers in this palette and some give the eye that nice shimmery wet look to brighten the eyes. I always wear eye shadow primer with this palette to make the colours stand out more as they aren't as pigmented as over palettes from similar brands like Make-up Revolution. But overall for £4 I love it so much

 

Right

 

Hello Barry M Starry Eyed! This is new from Barry M and after seeing Zoella post about it I just had to buy it. I wear the middle gold shade on the whole of my eyelid for and every day look and it looks gorgeous! This palette is so high quality for the under £10 price, puts this on your Christmas Wish List girls!

Seventeen Miracle Matte Foundation

 

 

 

Hello Lovelies, today I am going to be reviewing this Seventeen foundation. The foundation is called Miracle Matte and claims to have a matte satin flawless finish that lasts up to 16 hours. And unfortunately I feel to 'up to' is very important because my face just doesn't agree with the foundation, and I really wish it did because it has such a lovely finish

 

 

The packaging is very girly with a pink pump and lid, this isn't for everyone. But I must say the packaging is strong plastic that I feel wouldn't break in my make-up bag. It is also very easy to clean as I find some foundations often just get everywhere! Overall I do think the packaging is stylish but most of all strong

 

 

The pump works well and is all you could really ask for. Like I said, the foundation doesn't get everywhere, but also this is probably due to the thickness of the foundation

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have this foundation in the shade Soft Ivory and for me being an extremely pale person, I feel this is the right shade for me. It defiantly doesn't have an orange tint to it, so if you are pale and struggle with shading I'd recommend the Seventeen range. The foundation itself is oil free and has an SPF of 15, this is the average SPF of most drugstore foundations. The consistency if very thick, but this is due to the matte finish, I'm not normally one for thick foundations, but wanted to try a matte finish for the winter

 

 

 

 

Now for the parts I don't like! This for me is a hard foundation to apply, it gets very clumpy and takes a lot of blending, a little more effort then any other 'thick' foundation I have tried. However once blended it has a lovely matte finish but still leaves my face with a bit of glow.  However after a few hours of wearing the foundation it starts to clump and dry out on my face, and its not pretty. Overall I think this is a foundation you should try if you are use to matte foundations, and if you do, let me know, I would love to know how it sits on other skin types!

What I got in my Glossy Box November 2014

 

 

Hello Lovelies, welcome back! Today I am showing you what I got on my Glossy Box this month. This box costs £10 a month and is available to order at GlossyBox.co.uk. Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lollipops Make Up Eye Pencil

 

 

This is one of the three full size products I received this month. The pencil contains Vitamin E with anti-ageing and anti-radical actions. I quickly drew this on the back of my hand, and I must say this pencil is highly pigmented as will look so pretty with a dark smoky eye look. The pencil has a turning mechanism and I feel it will work great to draw a precise line, especially a cat flick. This pencil costs £14 and is available at www.lollipops.makeup.fr

 

 

 

Burt's Bees Lip Shine  

 

 

This is a lovely lip gloss from www.burtsbees.co.uk. The lip gloss is in the shade pucker and costs £6.99, these lip glosses are made from 100% natural ingredients and are highly pigmented. They have also got a lovely finish, I will be doing a more in depth review on this product soon. The lip gloss contains Apricot Wax to moisturize the lips, so is perfect for this time of year!

 

 

 

H20+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment

 

 

 

This is a moisture gel and is available at Marks and Spencer's for £27.50. I can not wait to tell you more about this product once I have had chance to really use it and see the effects. It claims to be oil free and deliver deep hydration while minimising the appearance of fine lines

 

 

 

MONU Skincare Refining Capri Facial Oil

 

This product is available at www.monushop.co.uk and costs £26. Again, I can not wait to try out this product and tell you guys all about it! It claims to balance oily skin and decongest pores to ensure breakouts remain a thing of the past. I have oily skin and also suffer from regular breakouts, so this is a product I am excited to try and hopefully see a difference

 

 

 

Umberto Giannini Miracle Worker

 

 

Here we have a drugstore product ( available in Boots UK for £8 ). I'm not really big on hair products because my hair is so short I don't tend to bother, but now its growing out I really want to get on top of it so it remains healthy! This claims to instantly and visibly transform even the most dry, frizzy coarse hair, so excited to try and review this

 

 

 

Hope you enjoyed today post

 

Love Sophie
