Another Mini Haul #bigblogmasproject Day 10

Superdrug Body Spray | Nivea Pearl & Beauty Anti-Perspirant | MUA Nail Polish in Koala Bear

All Superdrug

La Roche - Posay Effaclar Duo

Hi guys,

Day 10 and yes, it's another haul, disgusting I know. To my defence, it's a mini one!

Every time I put up a haul, I end up going shopping again, I love shopping at this time of the year, whether it's for myself or others.

Me and my best friend popped into Superdrug to have a look at some things for her and I remembered I needed to get new body sprays and things.

Lots of people like going make up shopping with me because I'm always recommending things, giving mini reviews and telling them what to stay away from, being a beauty blogger makes life easier.

So after being a personal shopper, I had a look at the MUA counter (which is usually empty) and decided to try out a MUA nail polish, I've always seen good reviews so I thought why not, it's only £1!

Lastly, I really wanted to try out the La Roche - Posay Effaclar Duo before buying it, so headed over to the website to see if I could get a sample and voila, I managed to get my hands on one. Great stuff, can't wait to see the results and hopefully purchase a full size one as I also got a voucher for £2 off for it!

That's another haul for you lovelies, anything you've bought from Superdrug recently?
Have you tried the La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo, did it work for you?

Stay tuned for reviews and thanks for reading!

OOTD | Teach Me How To Layer Up #bigblogmasproject Day 9

Burgundy Top Primark | Pinafore New Look | Boyfriend Blazer Primark | Shoes Nike Team Hustle D6 Junior Basketball Trainers | Coat Primark | Hat (my sister's) | Gold Bracelet Primark | Watch eBay | Rings Primark & eBay

Hello everyone,

It feels like I haven't done an OOTD in ages!

It's day 8, can't believe we've done a week of December already, it's going to be 2014 before we know it. 
I've been quite busy lately, with college, family and just everything in general so taking pictures of my outfits is something I never remember to do.

It's cold out here and layering up is essential so this is my combination of clothing. I really wanted to wear my pinafore because I don't think I'm going to wear it again until Spring, I can't handle the cold! How are you all layering up? 

This is the first time I've shown you guys an outfit with my 'new' trainers, well they're not new to me haha
I'll be featuring them in my lookbook soon so you'll get to see more of them.

I'm definitely going to be doing lots more OOTD's this Winter, you can have so much fun with Winter fashion because there's so much more to wear!
Stay tuned and thanks for reading

Clothes Show Live 2013 | My Experience #bigblogmasproject Day 8

Hey everyone, 

Last week, I won Clothes Show Live tickets and chose Saturday to attend.
The last time I went to Clothes Show Live I was 14 and went with my Textiles class at school. Since then, I've always wanted to go the next year and hoped my school would take us again but they didn't and forgot all about it.
As I'd started blogging last year, lots of bloggers were going and I really wanted to go but couldn't afford it and wasn't prepared.
So this year, I made it my mission to get to Clothes Show Live and it was fate that I won tickets to go with my best friend that really wanted to go too!

I must say there was a lot to look at and it was definitely overwhelming, I left with 2 goody bags as I just couldn't carry anything else or spend my money on lots of stuff!

Saw quite a few celebs which was cool and listened to Kingsland Road sing (it was evident why they're not on XFactor anymore haha!)

Below are a few pictures I took!

Lauren Goodger!

 Gemma!

 Henry Holland & Becca Dudley!

Overall, I'm so happy I won tickets to go, I definitely want to go next year, at least I'll be prepared for the endless rows of stalls and brands and make up and clothes and goody bags haha

Did you go to CSL? Did you have have fun and will you be going next year?

Thanks for reading!

NOTD | More Lilac #bigblogmasproject Day 7

Barry M Nail Paint - Lilac Foil 142

Hey guys, 

Day 7 and I bring to you a NOTD, I paint my nails every now and then and it's usually with the same colours over and over again.

Lilac is my favourite colour and when I saw this nail polish in my Barry M goody bag from Clothes Show Live, I was so happy!

 I woke up this morning and quickly put it on and I love it, I love the metallic effect and how quickly it dries.

I'm going to be wearing it a lot, lilac is definitely one of my favourite colours for my nails, especially during Spring/Summer.

This is actually the first Barry M nail polish I've tried and I'm impressed, can't wait to try out the rest I've got and I'm sure I'm going to be purchasing a few this season!

What are your favourite nail polish colours? Are you a fan of metallic nail polishes?

Let me know and thanks for reading!

Christmas EOTD Series #3 #bigblogmasproject Day 6

Hey everyone,

It's day 6 and I've got another EOTD for my Christmas series, I've been using my 120 colours eye shadow palette to create them.

I love the oranges and gold for Christmas, it's great with an all black outfit and a glossy nude lip.

I applied the coral shade all over the lid and then added the 2 dark shades into the crease.

I lastly added my highlight shade under my brows and added the gold shade in my tear duct.

What do you guys think? Is it a look you'd go for?

Let me know and thanks for reading

The Christmas Tag #bigblogmasproject Day 5

1.  Do you prefer a real Christmas tree or synthetic?

I've always had a synthetic tree so I don't know if I'd prefer a real one!

2.  You're in a coffee shop, it's December, what do you pick?

I'm definitely a 'hot chocolate' girl, I love me some chocolate. 

3.  Whats your favourite colour scheme for decorating the tree?

I love red and gold on the tree, my mum tries to change the colour theme every year but we always end up doing red and gold or blue and silver

4.  Giving or receiving?

I am a such a giver, even when it's not the festive season, I love making people happy. Christmas is a great time to give and giving is a great excuse for me to shop haha

5.  To mince pie or not to?

To mince pie definitely. I don't get why so many people don't like them, they're delicious, oh well, more for me!

6.  What's your traditional Sunday lunch?

We usually have a pork chop with roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings and pork pies! Can't forget the pork pie! We also have sweetcorn or something with it. Love Sundays!

7.  Christmas day fashion

My pj's! I'm usually at home with family on Christmas day so I don't see the need to dress up but if I know the extended family are visiting, I throw on a nice winter jumper and some jeans or something.

8.  What's your favourite Christmas song?

Destiny's Child - 8 Days of Christmas! Doesn't it feel like Christmas?!

9.  What's your favourite Christmas film?

That's a hard one! It has to be between Elf and Home Alone, I could watch these films over and over again and still love them the same.

10.  Open presents before or after lunch?
In my house, we always leave the present opening until last, sometimes we open half on Christmas day and drag it out and open the rest on Boxing Day. We always do things differently in my house haha

That's the Christmas Tag from me, I tag all of you! Tweet me if you do @JesslynJuly, I'd love to read them all!
Thanks for reading mine
