Soap and Glory: The Perfect Ten

This palette is gorgeous! I'm talking brilliant quality, beautiful colours and so easy to use.

My mum actually bought this palette for me in the Boots half price after Christmas sale (try saying that 3 times fast!) and therefore it only came to £8, which to me sounds pretty darn good. Unfortunately, Soap and Glory's 'The Perfect Ten' palette is Limited Edition and I believe only at Christmas BUT this was it's second return and so may come back again!

I just wanted to show you the brilliant pigmentation, gorgeous colours and really what an incredible dupe for the Naked 3 palette this is.

As I said the colours are so gloriously pigmented and are so buttery, I used it on Monday for my best friend Jess's birthday and it was an absolute dream.

This is fast becoming my favourite palette, especially as we move into Spring.

Wightwick Manor

If you're fan of beautiful buildings and amazing architecture then you will love Wightwick Manor, National Trust. On the day I went it was complimented by the low Winter's sun and looked truly stunning.

This particular National Trust property has such an interesting background, and unfortunately I was so interested when looking around the house I didn't take any pictures! BUT the house is decorated with the designs of William Morris and therefore, I'm sure you can guess how pretty it really was.

I am also a huge of how photographic bare trees are in Winter!

MAC - Stone and Whirl Lipsticks

I had had these beautiful lipsticks on my "I want but probably don't need" list for a long time after seeing them all over YouTube, and after deciding that I didn't really need to spend £31 on them both, that it would be a good idea to put them on my Christmas Wishlist. 

These lipsticks are a bit different for me but I've decided that I want to branch out a little on my lipstick colour spectrum and when I received these beauties from my family I was so grateful!

These colours are very different for me but I LOVE them!

Christmas Nails

As we are getting closer to Christmas I feel like I can't be the only one who starts to plan what there makeup is going to look like for the day/special events! But not only do I like to think about my makeup, I also like to think about Christmassy nails designs because I love doing my nails!

So I thought I would share some images I have found on google that may inspire you too!

You can also get some amazing fake nails with beautiful designs for this time of year too!

Winter at Waddeson - 2015

On Sunday my family and I visited the beautiful National Trust property, Waddesdon. Around this time each year they have a Christmas fair, decorate the interior of the house and basically it is just a haven for anyone who loves Christmas! So I thought I would share some of the images I got to hopefully get you in a Wintery mood.

I did a blog post of when I went last year, so click HERE if you want to see that.
I also did a short video of my time at Waddesdon this year, check it out HERE!

I loved every room, but my favourites were probably Narnia and Peter Pan, because who doesn't Narnia and Peter Pan....
