Simple Sunday MOTD

For me, Sundays are usually spent shopping, getting brunch and catching up with friends. During the week, I enjoy experimenting with all of my makeup and you can usually catch me doing something different everyday but on the weekends I like to keep it simple unless I'm heading out at night. This is my current go to makeup look for Sundays (because on Monday, I'll probably be wearing no makeup at all!).

Benefit Roller Lash

Today I am here with a little review of a mascara I recently picked up. After seeing so many reviews across the blogging world and YouTube, I just had to pick it up! It's Benefit's most recently released mascara, Roller Lash.

Benefit Hoola Bronzer

Before Christmas, I had never owned a box powder from Benefit and obviously didn't understand the hype yet. For Christmas I received the Hoola Bronzer and now I get it! I finally see what everyone is going on about. 

To start with, the packaging is really cute. It's just a little purple-ish coloured box with some bamboo and a lily orchid on the front. The box holds 8g of product as well. It comes with a mini contouring brush which I actually think is quite decent and use it on the regular with this particular product. 

This bronzer is the perfect shade for contouring and from what I've seen it's quite universal as well. It's a matte bronzer with quite a cool undertone so it doesn't look orange on the skin at all. 

The amazing thing about this product is how versatile it is. You can use it just to warm up your face, to contour or even as an eyeshadow! This is why it's so worth the expensive price tag.

Have you given this bronzer a go? What did you think about it?

What I Got For Christmas 2014

Well hello friends! Long time no chat! Christmas has quickly come and gone for another year and I can't believe what a year it has been! I've seen lots of 'What I Got For Christmas' videos on YouTube so I thought I would do a post about what I got this Christmas. 

To begin with, my boyfriend got me the most amazing two presents. Number one was The Sims 4. I have been a devoted Sims fan ever since it came out in the year 2000. Yes, I'm a bit of a dork but I couldn't care less! =P The second present he got me was.. wait for it.. The Urban Decay Naked 3 Eyeshadow Palette. I was so excited like you wouldn't believe. He's lucky enough to have a sister who lives in San Francisco who was able to send it over. I can't express my love for it enough!! 

My mum was so generous as well. The first thing I received was the Benefit Hoola Bronzer which I have been eyeing off for so long. It's as good as it's talked up to be. The second was two MAC lipsticks in the shades Show Orchid and Rebel. Show Orchid is definitely my new favourite lipstick! She also was lovely enough to buy me a new perfume. She got me Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs. Honestly, Marc Jacobs can do no wrong with their perfume bottles. They are absolutely gorgeous. 

I was also lucky enough to be given a little makeup storage unit from my family KK. I was literally talking about buying one the day before and then my wish came true, so to speak. It's just got two wider draws on the bottom, two half draws next to each other above that and then storage for lipsticks and bits and pieces on the top.

I could not be more grateful for all I received and I hope everyone had the most amazing Christmas. I spent the day with family with lots of food and laughter and enjoyed every second of it. Here's to 2015!
