My Affordable Christmas Gift Guide Beauty Edition 2015 | Im Back | Exciting News

hello everyone and welcome back to my blog I would like to start off by saying that I am sorry for the lack of posts on my blog lately, but I am now back and posting on a regular basis again. I also have some exciting news to share with you all ... and that is that I am expecting, I am literally over the moon to be pregnant again, and I have been told that I am going to have a little princess which is such great news but I may have to hide my makeup and put it up high when she gets older lol.

Anyway back to today's blog post post which you can see from the title is my affordable Christmas gift guide where all the items are going to be beauty related. I thought this would be a good post to start with for the beauty lovers out there that want to treat themselves to something for Christmas or need inspiration for their wishlist, or if you are just not too sure what to buy your family and friends who are also beauty lovers, then this post may be really helpful to give you a rough idea of the beauty gifts that are currently on the market that are also affordable, therefore all the products featured on this post are under £30.

Hello and welcome back to my daily dose of lip products aha that sounded so cheesy but I just wanted to mix my introduction for a change lol.

Urban Decay | Naked on the run palette | swatches | review

I received this palette as a gift for Christmas which I swacthed on the day at thought it was a bit meh! However when cleaning out my makeup collection last month I rediscovered this palette and swatched it again and was surprised that I hadn't used it yet, as all the eyeshadow shades looked absolutely gorgeous and I cant believe I never used it sooner.

Recently I have discovered that my most popular blog posts are swatch and review ones, and you all know me by now and know that I am a lipstick junkie and cant start buying lipsticks so why not do another lipstick swatch and review. Today's lipsticks are the fashionista lipsticks which I bought from Fragrance Direct.

Urban Decay Full Frontal Lipstick Stash | Swatches | review | First impression

I feel like I haven't done a lipstick swatch post in a long time now and these posts always seem to be the most popular posts, so I have decided to do a swatch and review on the Urban Decay full frontal lipstick stash, as I don't seem to hear many people talk about this set.

Qi Best Lip Series | Long Lasting Lipgloss | Liquid Lipstick Swatches | First Impression/Review

You all know that I love a bargain so when I came across these liquid lipsticks I knew that I needed to have them in my collection. The are called the Qi Best Lip series Long Lasting Lip Gloss and I found them on Ebay for only £1. The shade that caught my eye was shade 18 which is a beautiful nude / beige shade and it reminded me of the Jeffree star Velour Liquid Lipstick in the shade Celebrity skin, La Splash Liquid Lipstick in the shade Ghoulish and the Lime Crime Velvetine in the shade cashmere, so I decided to only buy five and see what I think of them and compare them to my other similar shades to see if I have found a cheaper dupe.
