4. Then I have a pamper session by having a bath and chilling for a bit.

5. Next I get ready to go out by doing my make up, hair and choosing an outfit.

6. My family and I then go to visit family. We all gather at one member of the families house and celebrate. We all have some food and chat.

7. We get home for around 8pm and get into our Christmas pjs.

8. After that we watch some Christmas TV for a while to get us excited for the next day.

9. Just before we go to bed we lay out our sacks and put some snacks out for Santa.

Blogmas 2016 - Day 22 - MY Christmas Make Up Routine!

Blogmas 2016!

Hello Everyone,

As I've mentioned in other posts as part of Blogmas, Christmas is a time where there are more parties and nights out. Therefore, today I thought I would tell you what my Christmas party/night out make up routine is. I'm not the type of person to wear too much make up so I find that what I wear is enough for me personally. I hope you enjoy this post.

I start off with my face make up first.

Step 1 - I use the Avon Face Perfecter as a Primer. This just helps my make up to go on smoothly and stay on for longer.

Step 2 - Next I do my concealer. I use the Rimmel Hide The Blemish Concealer to cover any spots that I have on that day. Then I use Maybelline The Eye Eraser for my under eyes. I blend all the concealer in using a beauty blender.

Step 3 - The next step face wise is to put my foundation on. I use the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation. I really .like this foundation because it's really good coverage but doesn't feel heavy on your face. I usually blend my foundation with a brush.

Next I move on to eyes/ eyebrows.

Step 1 - I fill in my eyebrows using a pencil from Rimmel.

Step 2 - I put on the Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara. I really like this mascara but it can be a bit thick for my liking so I then go over it with the Maybelline Rocket Volume mascara to help spread my lashes out a bit.

Step 3 - I then put on my eyeshadow. I really like the W7 Carnival dust for around Christmas time because it's sparkly and festive.

Lips

Step 1 - Before I do any make up at all I always put some Vaseline on my lips to moisturise them and allow my lipstick to go on more easily later.

Step 2 - The last step in my make up routine is to put on whatever lipstick/ lip gloss I am going to wear that evening.


So that is my make up routine for Christmas parties/ night out. It's very simple but effective and it works for me. I hope you've enjoyed reading this post.

Hello Everyone,

Today I am doing a beauty themed Christmas post where I am going to tell you what lip colours I have been/ will be wearing a lot this Winter/ Christmas.

These are my staple lip colours for this time of year which I tend to wear in the build up to Christmas. I do wear darker lip colours during the festive period like reds and berry colours but I also still enjoy wearing nudes and pinks.

Here is a selection of my favourite Winter/Christmas lip colours.

Rimmel Vinyl Gloss (Sparkly Light Pink)

Avon Colour Trend - Adorable (Light Pink)

NYX Butter Gloss - Angel Food Cake (Nude)

Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss - Rose  & Shine (Nude)

Tanya Burr Gloss - Afternoon Tea (Nude)

Sleek Matte Me - Birthday Suit (Nude)

Jack Wills Lip Crayon - Red

Jack Wills Lip Crayon - Berry

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Matte Finish - 11 So Hap'pink (Bright Pink)

Rimmel Kate Moss - 08 (Nude) - Not Pictured

Here's a picture that allows you to see the colour of the lipsticks/ glosses of the one's that you can't see the true colour through the packaging. I love every single one of these lip colours and 100% recommend them. All of these were bought from either Boots or Superdrug but I'm sure they're available online as well.

These are all of the lip colours which I will be wearing all of the time in the lead up to Christmas. These are my Christmas lip colours. Thanks for reading!
