❄ #ChristmasBloggers: What I Got For Christmas Haul 2013! Part 1: Beauty ❄



For more info on this series, click here...


Finally! I have been so excited to publishing this post! This year Santa, my family and friends have been superbly good to me. I love every single present I got and I am super thrilled to use them all in 2014!

You may be wondering why I've split this into two parts. It's because on the 1st of January I plan to blog my 100th post, so I have to write 3 more posts after these two before New Years Day. Stay tuned on my blog as they'll be lots coming up in these last few days and in 2014.

**Plus, before I begin, I am not bragging. These posts are what every blogger uploads at the end of December as it's very requested. It's fun to share with the world new things you got, especially when other people do it too. It's great to talk about it with other bloggers.**

If you'd like to see what I got last year, click here!

This is a mixture of presents from Santa and family and friends.
THANKS TO ALL OF THEM SO SO SO MUCH, I LOVE ALL OF MY GIFTS, THANK YOU, YOU ARE ALL THE BEST! I am so grateful!

So here's Part 1 which is the beauty category.
I'll have lots of reviews in 2014, and that's for sure...



Nicki Minaj Pink Friday Perfume Set
I tried this out in Boots and added it to my wishlist because it smells so luscious. My mum thinks its very sweet, but that's the kind of scents I like. It's similar to Juicy Couture's Viva la Juicy (my sister had it) and I am so happy with this set! It even has a roll on perfume; perfect for the handbag!


Soap & Glory Relaxstation Spa Set
I have only ever tried one Soap & Glory product and that was a travel sized version of the Flake Away scrub. I adored it, so I asked for some Soap & Glory and I received this! I've used out the shower gel and scrub once, and they're both fantastic; I'm looking forward to trying out the rest.


RCH Style Society Mini Shower Gel & Body Lotion Set
I love body care products so I'm glad I have plenty now! It recommends on the back of this kit to switch the scents up for a variety everyday so this'll be fun to use.


Shower Feet foot cleaner
Pedi Spin Dry Skin Remover
I have the hardest, rough feet in the universe and I have realised I need more care for them. Now I have these babies and I can have soft, pampered footsies in no time (hopefully)! So far, I have washed my feet with Shower Feet and it's cool in a weird way. My feet felt fresh as a daisy, after it was massaged and cleaned with my shower gel.  Such a clever invention! I hope the Pedi Spin is just as good.


Benefit Groovy-Kind-A Love! make up kit
Benefit Love at First Shine lip gloss set
If you have been reading Dorky, Fizzy and Quirky Stuff for a while, you might know by now that I am a huge fan of Benefit! Their cosmetics are amazing and their packaging is terrific! Anyway I got these two sets, one from Santa, one from my godfather, and I am in love with both!

(I have just noticed that one of the lip-glosses in the set above is back to front, haha)


Mac Face and Body Foundation in C2#
AAAAAAAH!
A MAC foundation!
I used it on Christmas Day and it's o-mi-god.
I needn't say any more.


From Left to Right
Rimmel Nail Polish in Double Decker Red
Baby Lips Lip Balm in Cherry Velvet
Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 08
Maybelline Brow Drama Brow Mascara in Dark Blond
Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer in Ivory
Rimmel Pencil Eye Liner in Denim Blue
Vaseline Rosy Lips Lip Balm (in cute packaging)

So glad with all of these!


Real Techniques Duo-Fiber Make Up Brushes (+ a Foundation Brush)
RCH Style Society Make Up Brushes 
I have a few good brushes but I felt like I needed a bit more quality brushes, and I got Real Techniques and RCH sets! I'm so pleased with both. I've applied make up with the foundation brush and it's spot on! The RCH brushes look good; I haven't tried them yet, but I will soon.


Technic Eye Shadow Palette
Fallen Stars Eye Shadow Palette
The colours in these are fab, I mean, look at them! I can't wait to use them.




Parlux 380 Eco Friendly Hair Dryer
I screamed (outwardly silently) when I set my eyes on these! I have been borrowing my Mum's dryer for God knows how long, so I am so happy that I have gotten my own one! My mum said it's used by salons which is insane, and eco friendly?! I mean just wow.


Redken Glistening Mist for Hair
Another product from the salon, I've used it and have gotten compliments (cough-cough mum and my sister) about my shiny hair. I'll probably end 
up using this everyday soon.

And that's it for Beauty!
 Part 2 (Clothes + Random) will be posted right after this, 
so make sure to check it out.

I have truly been spoiled, thanks so much to my family and friends again!

Byeeeee

❄ #ChristmasBloggers: Blogmas Day 2013! OOTD + Photos ❄



For more info on this series, click here...


Haiii everyone!
Or should I say... HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!

I know December 25th was yesterday but Christmas isn't over (yup, until the 6th of January)! So today on the morning after the madness I'm going to share with you my OOTD and what I did!

So I woke up at 8:30, and I slept really well. I'm sorry but I am just so happy that I got a full nights sleep because usually I'm up all night struggling to shut my eyes and dream on the eve of Christmas. I am so proud of myself!

All of my family went downstairs to observe what 'Santa' brought and exchange gifts with each other, and I am SOOOOOO delighted with what I got! I am so grateful; I'll show you the presents I received on Saturday, and I promise I won't be bragging. Many people (including myself) love to read or watch What I Got For Christmas posts and videos, they're the missing piece of the jigsaw for curious humans. They're really popular around this time of year, so I want to join in the fun! Click here to see 2012's post.

BTW, I only wore my reindeer onesie that morning, and you saw that last year, but if you'd like to see it click here.

Sneak peek :)

After presents etc., we got the house ready for my cousins, and of course I got ready! I wore one of the dresses I received from American Eagle in this outfit. It looks black in some of these photos but it's actually deep burgundy. Click on the pictures to view the dress in more detail.




Blazer: Bershka
Dress: American Eagle
Necklace: Forever 21
Tights + Pumps: Marks & Spencers





When some of my cousins, aunties and uncles all came, we exchanged more presents, played with the toys and messed around, as you do. After a good while, a majority of them left and only my two grannies, two aunties and granddad stayed for dinner with the five of us. Christmas dinner was amazing; my mum is an excellent cook in my beloved opinion. We had turkey, ham, roast potatoes, vegetables and a yummy chocolate biscuit cake for dessert. We watched some TV too (Elf was on, I love that film!).


At around eight, my grandparents and aunties left, and us remaining quintet all relaxed by the fire and played a new board game my Dad got called IQ. It was pretty fun! The questions were hard so it was 
basically all guessing, haha.



So my Christmas Day was wonderful.
How was yours?
Tell me in the comments or send me links to your blog post about it.

I hope you all had a fantastic time yesterday and that you ate loads, laughed loads and ripped open loads of wrapping paper. And if you're Christian, remember it was Jesus' birthday, so make sure to thank him for all he's done for you... and/or what 'Santa' and your family have done for you.

Byeeeeee
(I think the above might be a new part of my exit... hmmmm)
