❄ Wonderful Christmastime tag 2 ❄

Welcome back! Ahh Christmas is so close-So excited! My last post was a Christmas tag I made called The wonderful Christmastime tag. Today is part 2 of that tag. I love doing these Christmas questions and talking about Christmas because it puts me in the best Christmas happy mood! I tag everybody reading this, feel free to do it on your blog or Youtube. I would love if you all joined in! I wish everyone a lovely, Merry Christmas! xox

1. What does Christmas day feel like in your home?
Christmas morning is super exciting, it's like the air is so thick with excitement and happiness. Once presents have been opened we have a relaxed day together and have our Christmas dinner and watch Christmas films. It's full of happiness, love and feels special and relaxed. Christmas eve and day are the best day's ever out of the whole year!

2. If you could be in any Christmas movie, what would you be in?
Without a doubt I would be in The Grinch! I love that movie so much.  I love how Whoville looks, and how the houses and people and make-up looks. I think it would be amazing to live there to be honest.



3. Do you open your presents slow and neat or rip them open fast?
I try to be slow and neat but I end up ripping them open fast because I get to excited. 

4.Are you reading any Christmassy books?
I am currently reading I heart Christmas by Lindsey Kelk. I love all of her I heart series and I have been enjoying reading I heart Christmas especially because it's Christmassy. I started reading it the 1st week in December.

5. When do you start listening to Christmas music and watching Christmas movies?
I start listening to Christmas music the day we put our Christmas decorations up. It's fun and feels right when the decorations are up, I love Christmas music so I always get excited for the end of November because they start putting them on the tv. I start watching Christmas movies the 2nd week into December because I like to wrap presents and watch Christmas movies, and by the 2nd week into December I have presents to start wrapping.  


6. If Santa got a new Reindeer and you could choose a name, what would you name it?
This is so hard...Angel... that's cute. Or Snow? Oh this is so hard. I have no idea something cute and Christmassy like Angel, snow or I'd name it after myself Kim? haha. 


7. If you could get your Mistletoe kiss with anyone, who would it be?
Ooo-La-La. This is so easy, I'd choose the love of my little life Enrique Iglesias. I adore him, I love him and I'd love a Mistletoe kiss with him.




8. What is your Favourite Christmas colour?
I love the whites and golds, I think they look so Classic and pretty along with reds.

9. Do you have a Christmas background on your phone or computer ( show us )?
I can spend hours and I have spent time searching for Christmas themed backgrounds. I just love Christmas so I am always finding backgrounds...

For my phone i have this one:

 For my tablet I have a snowman with falling snowflakes, fairy lights and snow. 

10. Number 1 Christmas song?
I'd have to say anything from Michael Buble Christmas album. Something about his voice puts me in New York, with the snow falling, going Christmas shopping. He puts me in the Christmas mood, as well as all the other classic Christmas songs like Wham Last Christmas.

11. Number 1 Christmas movie?
It always has and will be How The Grinch Stole Christmas. That movie puts me in the best mood, it's a feel good movie especially because we always watch it on Christmas eve. So the movie feels special and its funny and at the end it reminds you of the true meaning of Christmas.


12 Apart from the gifts, what do you love about Christmas?.
I love everything. The feelings it brings, the happiness, The decorations, the lights, the trees, the weather, the songs, the food, the movies the list could go on! Christmas is the most amazing time ever.

and that is the end of my Wonderful Christmastime tag part2! I hope you enjoyed! xoox

Sometimes just looking at my Christmas tree puts a smile on my face, or looking at Christmas things on Pinterest. 

20.  What is the best thing on your plate when you have your Christmas dinner?

My winter/December essentials ★♥

Welcome back, December has arrived which means I can pull out all My winter/December essentials and talk about them on my blog. I hope you enjoy!

Johnson's baby oil.
Very simple product but very useful. This is essential for me in these cold, dry-out-my-skin months. I pour a few drops in my bath for moisture, hydration and baby soft skin. It's the perfect bath oil to use. Or I will use a few drops after I get out of the shower. I massage it in my wet skin and then pat dry, this moisturisers, locks in moisture and makes my skin baby soft and glowing. I even shave with this because of how baby soft and hydrated it makes my skin feel and I have noticed I don't get any shaving rashes and it's a lot more of a closer shave. 

LUSH- Cinders Bath bomb.
This screams Christmas/Winter. Cinders bath bomb from LUSH has you feeling like you're sitting with blankets, comfy and cosy with a hot chocolate listening and watching the fire crackling on Christmas eve/ Christmas day. This bath bomb has a spicy and cinnamon scent, very warm and very winter. It also has pop rocks on the top so when you plonk the bath bomb in the water it pops and crackles like the sound of a fire crackling. It has a milky water and lasting scents of the warm fragrances with the sound of a crackling fire. Very cosy, Very comforting and a must have bath product for December! 

LUSH- Snow Fairy Shower Gel
Snow fairy shower gel hits the shelves when Lush bring out their Christmas products. This is my favourite shower gel to use around this time of the year. Firstly the scent of this shower gel is amazing, It's Candy, bubble gum and sweet vanilla- yum. The shower gel is a girly, pink with iridescent glitter. I love how this shower gel makes me smell so yummy and makes my skin so soft because of the softening seaweed it has in it. This shower gel is perfect for Christmas, it lets you step away from the warm, spicy scents of Christmas and surrounds you with all the sweets and treats smell. 

LUSH- Ocean Salt Scrub.
We all need a good ex foliation but in the winter, you don't want one that will dry out your skin. LUSH Ocean Salt Scrub is the perfect ex foliation without drying the skin, it actually moisturisers and leaves my skin so soft and hydrated. This scrub is for your face and body, the sea salt is wonderful for acne with also ingredients like avocado butter to moisturise and soften the skin. It helps with blackheads, removes dead skin and really gives the skin a good scrub without drying it out. 

Balm Balm Rosehip Serum.
To keep my skin hydrated and the dry skin to be kept away, I like to use oils during winter.  This oil is my favourite to really hydrate my skin but not make my skin greasy or clogged. This is a blend of rosehip, jojoba and borage, rose, and essential oils. These oils blended together feed the skin oil, but allow it to breathe and feel rejuvenated.  It makes my skin so soft and so hydrated and so clear. My skin feels like it's had a big glass of water.


Vaseline Cocoa butter lotion.
This is so good to keep the skin moisturised. Vaseline has combined healing drops of Vaseline jelly and powerful moisturisers also pure cocoa butter and oils. This helps heal dry skin, and brings out a natural glow.  It has a soft, coco butter scent and makes my skin feel baby soft and glowing. A must have product all year round but especially in these months.

Carmex.
Looking after the lips is so important, for me Carmex is my must have. No other lip balm product can beat the classic carmex.  It has ingredients such as menthol, camphor and beeswax that leaves a tingling sensation to soothe and smooth and heal dry lips.  Carmex leaves my lips hydrated, super soft and no dry skin is touching my lips.

Vapour Rub.
This is a must have that not many people talk about. This is combined with menthol, Eucalyptus, leaf oil and many other oils for effective cold relief. It clears congestion, blocked noses, coughs, any cold/flu/ breathing related issues. What you do is rub a small amount onto the chest, throat, back and cupids bow. Or you can mix 2 teaspoons in hot water and inhale the vapours. It really clears and soothes.

Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction Fragrance.
This scent is an all year round fragrance but it really stands out in the winter months because it has that warmth to it. This has red plum, aloe vera, chamomile and freesia.  It's very sexy and warm but has that sweet scent in there. I use the shower gel which is very moisturising and the body butter which is so good for my skin makes my skin so soft and then I will use the fragrance. I think I appreciate it more in the autumn/winter month because of how warm the fragrance is. Very sexy, very womanly and a must have!

The Balm MaryLouManizer.
A highlight is a must have for the December/party month. No sun so no healthy glow  so I love mary lou by the balm because of its vanilla, natural, highlight.  MaryLou is a highlighter, Shadow and shimmer in one that diffuses light so your skin looks softer, glowing and healthy.  I love to sweep this on my cheekbones for a beautiful highlight.

Urban Decay Naked Palette ( 1 )
This is my go to palette. It is packed with twelve gorgeous neutrals ranging from champagnes to gunmetal's to shimmers. Glitter to shimmer to matte it's all packed in this palette. This is a palette everyone can use and love.  For the party night's you have your shimmers, glitters and glamorous shades, for your days out to Christmas shopping you have your neutrals and mattes. I'd be lost without my naked1 palette.

Illmasqua Pure Pigment in Beguile.
This is a gorgeous glitter pigment. With Christmas and the party seasons coming up glitter is a must have. This is a metallic, high shine, glitter pigment that is intense and beautiful. It can be used to highlight the eyes, cheeks and brows or paired with an eye shadow for a glitter make-up look. It is gorgeous and so pretty on the eyes.



Clarins Lip Crayon in ' sweet cherry'
This is a lip balm crayon that is so pigmented and so moisturising. This lip crayon in ' sweet cherry' is a strawberry red and it smells like sweets. It's so pigmented, so pretty on the lips and lasts a good few hours. A classic red is perfect for Christmas and winter and this lip crayon is that perfect red with a moisturising formula and a glossy finish.

MAC lustreglass in ' Snow '
Oh this is perfect for Christmas, it's a clear white gloss but with glitter. It looks perfect over any lipstick. It adds that Christmas feel and the name of this lipgloss is Christmassy ' snow ' The thing I like about this lipgloss is, it's moisturising and looks beautiful. Everyone needs a clear glitter gloss during Christmas and winter.

Michael Buble- Christmas playlist.
To put me in the Christmas mood, all I need to do is listen to Michael Buble Christmas playlist on my spotify. His voice takes you to New York walking around Christmas shopping. He has that Christmassy voice that makes you feel all warm and ready for Christmas.

I heart Christmas by Lindsey Kelk. ( book )
My must have book for winter/December is I heart Christmas, I have not read this yet but I am planning to get cosy on the sofa, with the Christmas lights on and a cup of tea in my hand snug with a blanket and read this book. I have read the I heart series so I am looking forward to reading this one especially because it's Christmas themed. 


And that is My winter/December essentials. I hope you enjoyed reading!ox

The Me Time Tag! ♥

Welcome back to my blog! I saw this tag around youtube and I thought it was right up my street because I love talking about 'me time and pamper nights and all that cosy stuff so I thought it would be nice to do this tag on my blog, and I tag everyone of you reading this! xo

1.What do you watch or read during me time?
When I am relaxing and having me time I go through my youtube subscriptions and watch my favourite youtubers, I also like to watch a chick flick like Bridget Jones or Clueless. For reading I like to read The Secret which is a fabulous positive thinking book, and I also like to read The day I shot cupid by Jennifer Love Hewitt my favourite actress ever! That book is about her stories on love, boys and all girl talk. 

2. What do you wear during me time?
I love pyjama's so I wear them during my relaxing me time I have been loving the fleece type because it has been getting chilly where I live so it's so snugly, warm and super comfy!  Also a pair of fluffy socks is a must.

3. What are your me time beauty products?
Like all girls I love having a candle-lit bubble bath for my relaxing me time and I love using a Lush bath product, my top go to is the Comforter bubble bar which does exactly what it says - comforts you, and makes the best, biggest, softest, frothiest bubbles. I also like to use a face mask, My go to is the Lush mask of magnaminty, its super minty and pulls all the dirt, oil and bacteria and leaves my skin feeling baby soft, super clean and looking brighter and not oily. Sometimes If I need to take 5 minutes out of my day, if I am feeling abit stressed or bored or I need a bit of me time a good hand cream makes me feel relaxed and pampered.

 4. Current Favourite nail polish?
I am currently not wearing nail polish and I haven't for a couple of weeks so I don't have a current favourite, but the nail polish colours I normally go for is reds like a cherry red or a blood red and a also I love a hot pink colour. 

5. What do you eat/drink during me time?
Chocolate is the main thing I love to eat during me time, or Doughnuts which I heat up in the microwave and oh its so good! I like some cheese puff crisps and some sour sweets. For drinks I am addicted to the Cherry Pepsi max coke, I also like to drink a chocolate milkshake and if I am getting real pampered I will have a chocolate milkshake and squirt cream on the top and add some chocolate sprinkles- it's heaven.

6. Current Favourite Candle?
I love candles especially during me time. I burn regular tea light candles, and I also like to burn cinnamon, spicy candles during this time of the year!!

7. Do you ever have outdoor me time?
I used to when I had my dog Lucy, but when she passed away I no longer have outdoor me time. I am more of a home girl so I don't have the need to go outdoors. The only time I do have that type of me time is shopping in town, that is a perfect me time! 

8. Would you ever go see a movie alone?
I don't think I would because I prefer watching movies at home being comfy and cosy, the only time I go to the movies is to have a nice time with a friend or my family.

9. Favourite Online Shop?
I don't do much online shopping in my me time, If I want to browse I like looking through the Superdrug, Boots and Selfridge's website. Ikea and Ebay but in my me time I am obsessed with looking through Pinterest! It's so therapeutic for me.

10. Anything to add? What else do you do during me time?
I do a candle lit bubble bath, face mask and hair mask, watch movies and I love organising my makeup and skincare drawers and my bedroom. Organising is so therapeutic for me. I also scroll through twitter, instagram and play candy crush, temple run and any other apps and games. I also love doing the Relax, sleep well meditation app by Glenn Harrold before bed, that makes me feel super sleepy, super calm and de stressed.

That is the me time tag complete I hope you enjoyed reading and getting to know what I do for my me time, I tag everybody! xo

Superdrug Haul! ♥

I have another haul to blog about. The last one was a LUSH haul and this one is a superdrug haul. I love these kind of posts because I come away from that blog post with a long shopping list! I hope you enjoy reading!xo 


SimplePure Eye makeup remover.
This is a gentle eye makeup remover from the superdrug brand. I have used this since buying it and it is super gentle and did not irritate my eyes, it's not greasy or sticky and removes my eye makeup and waterproof mascara quick and easy! I remove my eye makeup by putting this onto a cotton pad and pressing it onto my eyes for about 10 seconds then I wipe away! 



Revlon Creme lipstick in the colour ' Va Va Violet '
I have been wanting a dark violet, plum kind of lipstick and it's been a nightmare to find one, then I spotted this shade. It looks super vampy and dark in the packaging but when applied it to the lips it's not as dark. If I don't want the lipstick to be as intense I apply it by dabbing and using less of a heavy hand and then blend it with my finger. It's a lovely colour and has pinky/purple undertones to it so it does not wash me out. It also feels super creamy and moisturising! I have not wore it yet to see what the staying power is like, I have only tried it on my lips when I got home for a little bit. Revlon always has great lipsticks that last a good time so I'm not that worried!




Revlon matte lipstick in the colour ' Sultry Samba '
Oh this is beautiful! This is a bright pink shade with a slight purple undertone. With this lipstick you can control how dark or light you want it to be, and still get the coverage you want. The matte finish is beautiful, not at all drying in fact it's very creamy. It will look great on every skin tone and with it's purple/blush undertone it makes your teeth look a little whiter! 



Revolution welcome to pleasuredome palette.
This palette caught my eye because of the stunning shades. This palette has 18 eye shadows, 12 shimmer and 6 matte! Which I love because I love having a range of shimmer and matte. These shades range from neutral to bright. From a cobalt blue to a shimmer beige. They are so pretty and pigmented I can't wait to play around with this palette! 
Revolution Focus and fix Liquid Concealer.
I picked this up because I needed a new concealer and I never tried anything from this brand so I was trying new things out from the Revolution brand. This concealer is a creamy formula and long wearing, it provides a natural finish, hides and conceals them dark circles, blemishes and provides a high coverage. This is also available in 6 shades.  I chosen the light shade.


Revolution blush in the shade' hot'
For £1 you get a pigmented, blendable blush! I looked through the shades and picked this one which is a hot pink, but when transferred onto the skin it becomes more softer.  When I tried the tester it was super pigmented, so a light hand is needed when applying!



Sleek blush in the shade ' pomegranate'

I love sleek blushes, I have a little collection! They are my go to drug store blushes. So pigmented it's insane. Such pretty shades and most of them have a shimmer that sits perfect on the cheekbones. I picked the shade ' pomegranate' which is a berry pink shade with a slight blue undertone. 
Vaseline cocoa radiant lotion.
I used to have this, I used about 3 bottles and then stopped buying it. I had to buy it again because it kept my skin super hydrated and soft! More than any other lotions I have.  This has pure cocoa butter to moisturise and heal dry skin and give the skin its natural glow.  It's a creamy non sticky or greasy lotion that smells like coco and chocolate. The scent is not sickly or overpowering, I love it! Glad it's back in my life, especially for these cold weathers!

Carmex moisturising lip balm.
I have never tried carmex before, but since I have been suffering with dry lips I decided to give it a try since it's nearly everyone's holy grail! This says it restores moisture,  adds natural emollients to your lips and protects against chapping, cracking and the cold and wind weathers. I tried this and wow it did wonders to my lips, it has a mint scent remind me of vicks chest rub. It feels cooling and soothing on my lips, and give my lips a nice soft and moisturising feel. It has helped and soothed my dry lips, I like it so far! 


That completes my superdrug haul! I hope you enjoyed reading xo

Review: Luxury Lush Pud bath bomb!♥

So last year I bought the Luxury lush pud bath bomb from lush, and was sadly disappointed when I plonked it in my tub! I did a honest review which I will link HERE:http://makeupwithkimmy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/lush-review-luxury-lil-lush-pud-bath.html This year, before going on my shopping trip I noticed some of my favourite youtubers mentioning this bath bomb, I decided to look up reviews and also read the lush website description. It sucked me in and I had to try it out for a 2nd time because I also noticed the bath bomb looked different from last year and the reviews were pretty outstanding. So my thoughts, opinions and honest review on this luxury lush pud bath bomb...


The way this bath bomb looks has you sold already. It's so pretty and interesting and colourful because of all the colour spots around the bath bomb. Also it's a nice festive touch to this time of the year because of the holly design on the top. Oh the scent of this bath bomb is beautiful, very calm and sweet and soft very much like the bath bomb twilight. I plonked this colourful lush pud bath bomb in my bath and WOW...

I was stunned! I had to call my mum and dad in to let them see it. My water was turning all these bright, pastel, colours looking like a beautiful, pastel, colourful, island, it was so cool! The colours were so vibrant and colourful it kept me happy and satisfied throughout my whole bathtime along with the beautiful, relaxing, scent of ylang ylang and lavender oils which helped me stay relaxed and soothed and very happy.

Once the bath bomb fizzed out, my water was a rose pink colour with swirls of the amazing pastel colours floating around. Frothy, soft and small bubbles were formed and sitting on top of the bubbles were tiny speckles of shimmer and a silky, soft bath water was surrounding me moisturising my body. The aroma of the ylang ylang and lavender oils still lingered and smelling beautiful. I was in a colourful, relaxing heaven in my bath tub! It was not at all disappointing and not at all anything like last year. So I think I either got a bad bath bomb or lush changed it, but it certainly has changed my opinion to a happy, satisfied one!

When I got out the bath my body was not baby soft, but felt silky and smooth which I liked. I did not get any shimmer on my skin from the tiny shimmers on the bubbles which was a plus because I'm not a fan of glitter from bath bombs on my skin. The soft scent was also slightly on my body, which I also enjoyed and I felt super happy. That bath bomb made me feel happy and just really relaxed and in a happy place.

This bath bomb is beautiful and crazy, and makes you feel relaxed and happy and also the colours just amaze you! All the lovely things in this bath bomb like the tiny shimmer, soft and frothy bubbles, silky water and the amazing soothing smell will make a lovely bath time treat for anyone!! I love this bath bomb- yay!!!!

What I bought In Lush. ♥

Hello, Welcome back! Let me just start off by saying I spend some money and went on a splurge shopping treat well let's say retail therapy. I bought a lot of things so I'm splitting my haul in sections... The first one is a LUSH haul. Me and my old best friend LUSH! I love lush, the scent of that shop, the friendly, helpful staff and the amazing products. I used up all of my lush bath treats, skin products, everything! till the last bit. So I was left Lushless ( ha ) that means going out and buying more to start a new lush stash. I hope you enjoy reading and keep your eye balls open for more hauls from me!! xo

Skin:

 Ocean Salt.
This is one I had before, used it up and had to get another one! This is a Sea salt scrub for your face and body. A fabulous exfoliate it gives you, it's great for all skin types. It has sea salt which is amazing for acne and also cleanses and tones the skin, seaweed, coconut oil , organic lime and avocado butter which is good for dry skin to moisturise, soften and refresh. It helps with blocked pores, blackheads, acne and basically gives you a fantastic exfoliation removing dead skin cells, grub and dirt leaving your skin clean, clear and super soft and moisturised.

Mask Of Magnaminty.
Another one I loved, used all up and had to buy another one. I actually needed this a few nights ago and didn't have it so I am so glad I have it back in my life. The scent of this mask is intense but amazing, very minty/peppermint. This mask has got marigold and chlorophllin to treat the skin for any eruptions/breakouts, honey to moisturise and antiseptic and edukie beans and primrose seeds to gently exfoliate and of course peppermint to stimulate. When you apply the mask you look like you belong in them old movies with the green face mask- its great. Not forgetting the tightness and pulling out the oil, dirt and bacteria from your skin. It's a great mask, very popular and highly recommend!


Bath Bombs:

Luxury Lush Pud Bath Bomb
Now there is a story behind this little bath bomb. I used this last year and was disappointed. It just turned my water purple and that was it, no sounds, no moisturising milky water, no colours nothing just purple water. BUT reading blog posts, reviews and some youtube reviews people seem to like this bath bomb, so maybe I was being picky that night and need to try it again, maybe I want the purple water, basically I wanted to try it again, because the scent sucked me in OK! Damn you Lavender! I also noticed the bath bomb looked different from last year. This says it has coloured polka dots that float to the surface making your bath a pastel island in the water ( fun or what! ) Then here come the scents... Lavender oil ( yes you can smell that, so beautiful ) Sweet benzoin and tonka. It says that the scent is like the bath bomb twilight, which I also love. So with all that description, youtube and blog post reviews and the amazing, sweet and soft scents I had to give this pud bath bomb another go! 

Cinders
This is another must have lush product for me. Especially around this weather/time of the year. Cinders has you feeling like you're sitting with blankets, all comfy and cosy with a hot chocolate listening and watching the fire crackling. Yes all that from a bath bomb, impressive! This bath bomb has pop rocks on the top of it, so when you plonk this baby in it pops, and crackles just like the sound of a fire. The scent of this bath bomb? I'd say cinnamon and spice and very warm and perfect. 

Butterball.
I don't think I have had this bath bomb before, I can't actually remember I have been through that many. This is another perfect bath time treat for this time of the year, This is for dry, sensitive or irritated skin. It's vanilla and coco butter with Ylang ylang. So you can imagine how calm and sweet and yummy this smells. When you plonk this in the bath your bath will be creamy, buttery and moisturising. With the Ylang Ylang you will feel super calm, de stressed and relaxed. This bath bomb is just basically a moisturising, milky, silky, creamy, treat for me and my skin and I will do a review on this when I have used it.

Bubble Bars:

Magic Wand
I have never used this, I seen it last year I think but never picked it up. First it's the cutest thing ever, it's a pink star on a stick and I think its adorable. Snow fairy is my all time favourite sweet smell from lush and this magic wand makes snow fairy scented bubbles!!!!! Since snow fairy is the most popular fragrance they decided to make this bubble bar for the fans of the snow fairy. You swish the wand in your bath and it makes bubbles that smell like snow fairy, then you can pop it somewhere to dry out so you can get several bath uses out of this magic wand. Oh I am so excited to use this and I will do review! 

Christmas Eve
I used this last Christmas eve, exactly on Christmas eve because I had to! It felt right. I loved it so much that this year I had to buy it again. Firstly it looks super relaxing and calm. This is filled with ylang ylang and jasmine. It is a moon shaped bubble bar that you crumble under running water, it turns your bath a calming blue and makes bubbles and a moisturising milky water and a calm, relaxed scent. This is perfect for Christmas eve, when your all excited and can't sleep, plonk this in your bath and your mind will relax and slow down.

The Comforter.
Every single time I walk into LUSH I pick up this old favourite of mine.  The comforter and what a perfect name for it, because it does exactly that- comforts! It smells sweet and soft and it makes the softest, frothiest, best, sweet, smelling bubbles that comfort you and your tired or run down body and mind. It's also a huge bubble bar so you can get a lot of bath uses out of it. You break a piece off and crumble it under running water, then you relax and let the comforter comfort you. 

That is everything I bought from LUSH. I will do reviews on some of the products and I will be back with another haul in a few days... xo
