Favourite Makeup Products At The Moment

Today I have got a tiny treat for everyone: my favourite makeup products at the moment, so lets delve into the content of my make up bag:

Zoella Beauty Make Up Bag

First essential: my tangle teezer is my life saviour, i love it so much and it does the job so easily.

Now this is my first proper bobbi brown product and although it was on the pricy end its an absolutely lovely creamy concealer.

Inside it looks like this and it also comes with a setting powder. This is in the colour honey

Now the next on essentials for me are my Shu Uemura gold plated eyelash curlers (gift), these work perfectly for me and i don't need mascara when I use there.

Top Tip: If you heat your curler with a hair dryer and then curl your lashes will remain curlier for longer

Now this is my only mac lipstick and it's great but I really am craving Velvet Teddy so that might be a soon purchase or on my birthday wish list...

This is the colour but i don't know the name because i can't read it sorry

Now I have raved about this before in my August Favourites and it's still pleasing me all the way

Now I have had bad experiences with eyeliner but this rimmel one works, really well. I don't wear it often but when i do i always pick this one

And last but not least it's this Rimmel cosmic lipgloss and it plumps your lips to give a dramatic effect and a cool subtle colour.

So thanks for reading, i hope you liked it if you did don't forget to comment share and follow all of which mean a lot to me

Hugs,

Amber

Movie Night In A Box- Gift Idea

So tomorrow is my friends birthday, now she is not into all of the girly stuff with bath sets that get lost and forgotten in a week, and I knew she loved her movies so I created this movie box which contains all of the following! I really hope she likes (and uses it), tell me what you think because your opinions really do count and I also love love love reading comments!

 The first thing in my Movie Magic Box is some sweets in some little cute jars as snack whilst watching, I also filled another jar with some popcorn because I'm sure everyone agrees that popcorn is the must have snack when watching something you love!

 Now my friend, her religion is basically coffee so I got her some of the cute espressos as a little 'this how well I know you' gift! I'm sure if she doesn't love the rest she'll definitely love these.

 Now I bought her this cup because I know she loves this colour and if you look at the picture below, all will make sense! I also filled the cup up with popcorn because there was a shed load left over!

Who wouldn't love a Galaxy hot chocolate whilst curled up watching a film! Well I wouldn't because I'm allergic to hot chocolate (or something in it) and it gives me a really awful stomach ache! 

A Movie Box wouldn't be complete without movies so I got her 'The Smurfs and 'Doctor Dolittle 3 & 4' we are both really big kids at heart! And we both really love animals so I played it safe when I chose these.

 I then wrote here these little 'Open When' letters where she could open them when she is happy, angry, bored, sad or just for fun. I also got her a card and wrote her a letter explaining the contents of the box incase she got really confused

So there is only one thing left to say

and also...

I hope you enjoyed this post, if you did don't forget to follow (follows mean a great deal to me), comment ( I love reading comment don't forget if you have a blog leave the link) and share (shares are nearly as lovely as you).......

What's a unique present you've received?

Thank You

Hugs,

Amber

Reflecting back on a journey of 365 days

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

First I am sorry about my lack of blogging but holiday season for me is the busiest! I love when a new year comes around, I feel as it is a fresh new start and the year thats gone will be remembered however can not changed. How was your 2014? To reflect on my year in a couple of words they would have to be:
Scary
Enjoyable
Upsetting
Fresh/New
Busy

As you can see from the wide range up there, my 2014 was a roller coaster of emotions filled with ups and downs. But every year is not perfect, in fact no year is perfect and somehow in a weird way that is beauty of life. It teaches you itself and you learn yourself from life.

New years Resolution! Now I am sorry if you thought this bit was going to be keep fit, eat less chocolate and drink more water, but this year I am not doing resolutions as a) I know I can't stick to it  b) I don't want to be upset or angry with myself that I didn't stick to it and c) I want a smooth transition into the new year not worrying if my water intake is sufficient or not.

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and a fabulous New Year, I hope your 2015 is as amazing as you lovely readers, you all make my day when you read and then comment your thoughts.

What was your highlight of 2014? Comment below! Thank You...

Your all amazing in my eyes,
Hugs,
Amber xx
