I have been Splurging

So over the past few weeks, I have accumulated a number of products, some random pieces and a lot of makeup - all from the drugstore as it is my favourite place on earth, so without further a due...  here are the items I have gathered over the past month or so

I hope you enjoy :)

realTechniques Silicone Liner Brush Review

I picked this brush up because I love realTechniques, I think their brushes are amazing and one of the best, it was also on sale for £5.00 and I have wanted a new brush to apply cream eyeliner for months so I thought, why not?

I do really like this brush, it's pretty flexible so it is easy to run along the lash line, it has a pointed tip also to help create a very thin natural looking line but you can also use the side if you want a thicker one. It does however take a while to get used too, at the start it is a bit hard to use and get the eyeliner on decent looking but practice makes perfect and I really do love it now, I use it everyday for my eyeliner :)

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 :)

I listed the notes below in case you were wondering :)

Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot

I bought this the other day because I have wanted for ages, or since when Gemma from Miss Makeup Magpie done a review on it and the other day when I was in town I called into benefit and I seen they had it on offer for £19.68 - a total bargain :)

I absolutely love this palette, everything about it is gorgeous, the packaging is study and lovely looking and the pigmentation of the products is amazingggg.

My favourite by of the new year so far :)

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

The Top Notes are;
