Collective Haul - Soap and Glory, Urban Decay, Maybelline Vivid's, Models Own + More

Hullo Lovely Ladies!

I went shopping earlier this week and bought a few lovely and exciting things that I thought I'd show you! 

I picked up my favourite hair dye in ASDA the LIVE Colour XXL in Red Passion, and they have the Health and Beauty Event going on at the moment so a lot of beauty products are on offer. I picked up the Tresemme Freeze Hold Hairspray for around £3, the Garnier Moisture Match Ultra Hydrating moisturizer for £3 and the Gillette Satin Care Touch of Olay Shaving Gel for about £2.

Next I went to Boot's and bought some Soap and Glory as they had a 3 for 2 offer running.

I picked of the Foam Call Body Wash which I'm really excited to try because I love the smell and I'm hoping to get better bubbles than the Sugar Crush Shower Gel. 

I also bought the Glad Hair Day Shampoo and Conditioner which I haven't heard much about to be honest but have always been interested in trying it. I can imagine that Soap and Glory would do an amazing Hair Care Range! 

I also picked up a Charlie Chic Body Spray as It was on offer and I like to keep them in my handbag for days when I don't feel like wasting my perfume. Smells lovely! 

As you may have noticed I caved and bought the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette. All those beautiful swatches and eye looks bloggers have been posting lately made me decide to take the plunge. I withheld from buying the second palette and the basics palette but now I have the first and the third! I'm really enjoying it so far. I bought it from Debenhams.com and found a 10% off code on HOTUKDEALS. 

I also stopped in TK Maxx and found some Models Own nail polishes in Catherine Wheel, Indian Ocean, Sparkler and Utopia. 

Then back in ASDA I also found the only Maybelline Vivid's lipstick (from the line that was released in the UK) that I don't own in Hot Plum for £5!  I love it :-) 

The last two things I bought was these cute socks from Dorothy Perkins for £1.50 and a Sylvia Day book called Don't Tempt Me from ASDA. 

Have you bought anything recently? Have you caved like me and bought the new Naked palette?

Merry Christmas : What I Got For Christmas!

Hullo Ladies!

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year :-)

In this post I'm going to talk about my Christmas Day and what I got for Christmas from friends and family. 

Look at my little cutie! 

He was so excited to get some new toys that he actually opened his presents on his own this year. After eights years I've never known him to rip wrapping paper to get to a toy but he really wanted to find out what was making that squeaky noise :-)

He loves his little Christmas Pig. 

Me and my brother Shaun decided to wake our parents up with moustaches this year. He already had his own so he decided to make a uni-brow instead.

I decided to put mine on rudolph :-) Don't he look cool? 

I was given a lot of beauty related gifts this year which I obviously loved! 

One of them happened to be the Soap and Glory Yule MOnty Gift Set!!

I was so excited to get this as I adore Soap and Glory and this box contains 9 full size products :-) 

From my nan I was given this Ted Baker Set, I've been meaning to try out the Ted Baker line for ages and my nan seemed to have realised! 

All products have a marvelous spicy floral scent. 

From my brother I was given some more Soap and Glory Products, I was so happy to receive the Eyes Box as It was on my wishlist this year :-) I can't wait to review it!

I finally have some products from LUSH and I'm so happy with them. I tried the Snow Fairy Shower gel last night and it's amazing!

I got some lovely goodies from The Body Shop as well which is always a good thing as it's one of my favourite brands!

I asked for some more of the tea tree line as I'm loving it at the moment and I received the Foam Cleanser, the Toner and the Scrub :-) 

I also received the Japanese Cherry Blossom Perfume set that includes the 50ml EDT and the 250 body lotion.

I also got one of my favourite scented line from The Body Shop!

The Strawberry set that includes four full sized products and a bath lilly :-) 

My hair has grown longer this year again so I asked for a new hair wand with a thicker barrel and my parents got me the Remington Sapphire Pro Curl.

Also from my parents I received a bottle of DIOR J'Adore.  

It's a gorgeous grown up scent that I'm super excited to wear! 

Another amazing beauty pick from my parents was the Urban Decay Smoked palette. 

The colours are so unbelievably beautiful and I can't wait to have some fun trying them all out!

The palette comes with a great how to booklet, a 24/7 eyeliner and a sample of the Primer Potion. 

Another set I was given was this French Connection Set that cam with a body wash, body lotion and body spray. It all came in a lovely cream wash bag too :-)

My brother also gave me the No 7 Manicure Set which I can't wait to use although I do find all those pieces kind of scary. They look like torture devices to me...anyone else feel the same way?

I also got a new bag and a new pair of Boot's from New Look!

Nice to have a change, I never really think to buy myself new boot's or bags!

A River Island purse which I asked for because both my purses broke in the beginning of December, so this was a must really :-) I just love how pretty it is!!

SOCKS!

Can't go wrong with socks for Christmas, thank you nan! 

A cute hat from Matalan from my mam and dad :-)

 I wore this shopping yesterday and all the kids in their prams were pointing at it lol

I also got a lovely new dress to wear out! 

It's a gorgeous velvet skater dress from New Look and I love it!

 My friend happened to give me this gorgeous necklace that I think goes with it perfectly :-) 

In my family, we've always had our biggest presents given to us by the dinner table after the Desserts. 

I don't know why or when It started but we've been doing it since before I can remember and this year I was given a Wireless Speaker System. I love it! 

 So that's everything I had for Christmas and I feel so blessed, I spent the whole day with family and we giggled, ate turkey and got drunk and that's really all you want out of the Holiday right? 

I really hope you all have an amazing New Years!
