Nicki Minaj Onika Perfume




I got this perfume from my boyfriend at Christmas and it's absolutely gorgeous! It's not quite sweet and it's not quite floral - it's a beautiful combination of both and the balance is perfect.
The bottle is also lovely, y far my favourite one from her collection - I love the black and gold theme, it makes it look expensive and very good quality. 
It's now my favourite perfume :)

Heart Notes
Water Lily
Orchid
Osmanthus

Make-up Items I got for Christmas

I thought I would do an individual post on the make-up items I received at Christmas :)


These are all of the beauty items I received, as you can see, I did get some new brushes from realTechniques and ecotools - which I adore.
I also got the Naked palette from Urban Decay - I had to get it, I have the second and third so it was a must for this one - I love it
I got the Naked Illuminated highlighter from Urban Decay - it is absolutely gorgeous, by far my favourite highlighter 
I then got the Smash Box Photo Finish Primer - I love this, I used on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Eve and it is wonderful 
Finally I got a mini eye shadow palette from No7, the colours in this palette are gorgeous and so it shte packaging. In the picture it looks pink but it is more rose gold - beautiful.

I will be going more in depth with all of these products along with my thoughts so keep an eye out :)

:)

Hi everyone! I hope yous all had an amazing Christmas and got spoilt rotten :)
I love Christmas, it is undoubtedly my favourite time of year, not because of the presents - mostly the food but anyway, everyone is just so nice and cheery and the atmosphere when you go shopping is so nice and festive - unless you go on Christmas Eve, then it is stressful.
But I thought I would share with yous some of the things I got Christmas - I am in no way bragging or showing off - I just love reading/watching these posts myself so I also enjoy doing them :)


So I did get a few things for Christmas, from my family and boyfriend :)
I got some new make-up brushes from ecotools and real Techniques, new Nicki Minaj perfume, some lush goodies, new make-up goodies etc. etc. :)

I hope you all ha an amazing Christmas and have a brilliant New Year :)

Marc Jacobs - Honey




I absoloutely adore this perfume. My boyfriend got me this for my 21st birthday - and it is by far one of the nicest smelling perfumes I own. It is quite a fruity scent but not in the sickly way - it is also quite sophisticated and I would usually wear this for special occasions only because it is one of a kind in my collection and the only Marc Jacobs perfume I own.
The bottle is also gorgeous - it is the first thing I fell in love with and the reason why I don't intend to go through this like sweets - I want it to last me for a good long while.

The Heart Notes are;
Orange Blossom
Peach Nectar
Apricot
Honeysuckle

The Top Notes are;
Pear
Juicy Mandarin

The Base Notes are;
Honey
Golden Vanilla
Smooth Woods

Autumn/Winter Fashion - Skirts

So recently, as the weather has gotten more Autumnal I have really been loving the whole skirts and tights trend - which to be honest, I was never really into - but this year I have really gotten a thing for skirts so I thought I would show you some of my favourites so far :)




I purchased all of these skirts form Exhibit and I absoloutely love them! The tartan skirt was my most recent purchase - i picked it because I love the tartan style, you can wear it either dressed up or dressed down, depending on the occasion, the material is lovely - it's quite stretchy so it's very comfortable even with the zip up back - I also loved the plu leather band across the waist, I thought it made the skirt look quite edgy. 

The embroidered skirt is by far my favourite. I love the colours I think they're beautiful and very wintery - I'll definately be wearing this around Christmas - but in saying that, I don't think this skirt is secluded to just Christmas - I think it can be pulled off any time of the year. The material is quite thick which I like, the shape is also really flattering as it makes you look more curvy and feminine.

The floral skirt was my first purchase and I love it. The colours are gorgeous - I'm not usually a pink person, but with the whites, greens and oranges I think it gives the skirt some added dimension and doesn;t make it look quite so "girly." I love how it has pockets as well and the added detail of the zip, the shape is also really flattering like the one before and it's just really feminine and lovely.

I do intend to purchase more skirts as they are now one of my favourite clothing items so I will be updating yous on those :)

First Impression - MUA Elysium Palette





I am in love with this palette. I got this from Superdrug which MUA is only exlusive too and it retails for only £6. Bargain!
For it being £6, the pigmentation and quality of the shadows is wonderful, even the lighter shades! I also love the fact that there is a range of matte and shimmer shades - there are 4 mattes and 6 shimmers each of which are very beautiful colours - perfect for Autumn/Winter or even the summer.
You also get a duo eyeliner pencil, one side is black and the other is a really nice natual pink shade, a perfect alternative if you don't want to wear white as it is really noticable. 
All in all, this palette is now my go to for eyeshadows, I highly recommend it :)
