I recently came across this Christmas Tag and thought i would give it a go. I love Christmas, spending time with family, watching all the christmas movies that come on TV, eating lots of food!

Kirstie from A Yellow Brick Blog was tagging everyone, so i am really excited t be doing this Christmas Tag :)

1. What is your favourite Christmas song?

Erm.... I don't really know if i have a favourite. I love singing a long to lots of Christmas songs! I really do love listening to Michael Buble's Christmas album. I also used to love when i was little the Disney Christmas CD, in fact i still do love it! I do love singing along to 'I Wish it could be Christmas Everyday!'

2. Which is your favourite festive drink?

I don't really have a favourite Christmas drink to be honest. I used to love a bit of mulled wine though!

3. Do you have a favourite Christmas film?

I love the Home Alone films! I get so excited when they come on TV at Christmas! I also love watching ELF  and The Santa Clause :)

4. What is at the top of your Christmas wish-list this year?

I don't really have anything in Particular that i want for Christmas. I'm just really grateful for whatever everyone gets me. I love surprises :)

5. What is your favourite festive makeup or nail art look?

I love glittery nails for christmas. I currently have a gold glitter nail polish that i am loving at the moment.  I like doing the smokey eye look during the winter. I also like adding a bit of glitter on my eyelids.

6. What is your favourite outfit at Christmas time? (LBD? Christmas jumper? PJ's?)On Christmas day i usually just wear my PJ's and then i will probably change in to a nice comfy jumper! If i go out Christmas Eve i like to wear a nice dress or a top an skirt with some heels.

7. Would you rather play out in the snow or enjoy it from inside with the fire and a cuppa?

I love playing out in the snow. I love going outside in the snow and making snow animals! But i do also like getting back inside in the warm with a nice warm drink all snuggled up in my blanket  :)

Why do I wear make-up tag

When did I begin loving make-up ?

I started to get curious about make-up when I was about 10. I used to raid my mums make-up bag and go straight for the lipsticks! What a mess I made! Me and my cousin used to put these red lipsticks on each other as they were our favourite. I then started to experiment more with make up when i got to secondary school and started using a little powder and concealer. We wasn't allowed to wear any make up at school so i used to wait till i got home or went out with my friends at the weekend. I remember when i first started using foundation i hadn't got a clue on how to blend it in properly! At the time i thought i did a good job, until one of my friends pointed out that i had a long orange line where i hadn't blended it in! But all of this learnt me to be more careful when applying make up and to become much better at putting it on.

How do you feel without make-up ?

To be honest i feel much better when i have got make-up on, but i do love having a lazy day now and again when i'm not busy and have a day without wearing make up. It does feel good when i haven't got any on as i feel it allows my skin to have a rest.

What do i like about make-up ?

I love being able to experiment with colours and finding out what best suits me. I love using eyeliner, as i like doing the little flicks. I also love smokey eyes so i like experimenting with different colours to achieve this. I also love that there are so many products and brands to choose from now, as there is so much choice. It's great that there is also a lot more affordable make-up brands so you only need to spend a few pounds.

My 3 Holy Grail items ?

♥  Lipstick :) I am completely obsessed with lipsticks! My current favourite is the Coral In Gold one by Rimmel London.

♥  Mascara! Mascara always opens my eyes up that little more and makes me look more awake.

♥ I always have a concealer on hand to cover blemishes as i do get the odd breakout now and again

I tag anyone who reads this :) Please comment below if you did it xo

Tagged: The Good and Bad Beauty Blogger Tag

This Tag was created by Saffron Lallam from Saffy Style Blog. 

What I'm good at

• Face Makeup - I feel that i have improved loads on applying make up since i first started wearing it when i was a lot younger. I love applying make up to my face and i always feel much better when wearing it. I think i am good at applying foundation in a way that makes it look natural but whilst covering blemishes. 
• Lips - I love wearing lip stick, i never used be very good at putting it on when i first started wearing it, but now i love putting it on. I recently bought a lovely one by Revlon in Cappuccino. 
• Eyes - I feel i am good when it comes to eye make up, i usually put just a light pink or brown eye-shadow on my eyes and then put some eyeliner on and then mascara.
• Skincare - I have an obsession over skin care products and have to take my make up off every night before bed. I am quite good when it comes to this as i could never leave my make up on over night.
• Nails - I love applying nail varnish. I recently bought this nail varnish from Barry M which changes colour when you apply a top coat :) its amazing. I am a lot better at applying nail varnish now than i used to be! It used to get very messy!
• Body - I always exfoliate my skin everyday and love using natural products to shower myself with. I love to take good care of my body and moisturise. It is very important to look after your skin.
• Lifestyle - I feel i am getting better at looking after myself more as i have had to change my diet recently and cut out many different foods. But by doing this i have started to eat healthier and eat more veg and also drinking a lot more herbal and fruit teas.


Things I'm bad at


• Face Makeup - I think i have got to a stage now where i am confident in doing my face make up and applying it how i want it.
• Lips - I could do with making sure i don't let my lips get dry, as  i sometimes forget to put any lip balm on!
• Eyes - The one thing i wish i was a lot better with is applying eyeliner! I always end up having one side different to the other!
• Skincare - The only thing i sometimes do which is naughty is that although i take my make up off every night i sometimes don't wash my face before or after cleansing.
• Nails - I sometimes get a little messy when applying a top coat to my nails after putting nail varnish on. Nail varnish i am fine with, but the top coat seems to go everywhere!
• Body - I used to try and exercise quite a bit but i haven't done as much recently as i would like, so i am definitely going to work on this!
• Lifestyle - I am still quite terrible for having a lot of sugar! I  have tried to cut down how much i put in my porridge in the mornings. I have stopped putting it in my fruit teas which is a great improvement!
