This Week I'm Loving... #2

Katy Perry Royal Revolution

Well, this was a total and utter bargain! I got the gift set of this fragrance from Boots after Christmas and it was only £11.75! I bought it online without even smelling it, which, yes, was a little risky but for that price I was willing to take the risk! I LOVE scent and have been using it every single day.... very tempted to try and get another one of those gift sets! 

Friends

I've always loved Friends, it's one of those shows that I can just put on whatever time and whatever mood I'm in. Over Christmas I have been watching so much of it and my love for those 6 guys has been totally rekindled! Ross, of course, is still my ultimate favourite! 

Peppermint Tea

After the junk and over-eating that Christmas and New Year bought into my life I have been making sure that every evening I have had a mug of this stuff! It really does help me feel less bloated and meh! It's good stuff give it a go!

Dyson Animal 

This was my main present from my parents this year for Christmas. For over a year now my Boyfriend and I have been using his work Henry Hoover for our home but it was such a pain having to go and get it out the can out the time. Now, at first I thought - a hoover for Christmas... man that is such a grown up boring present... oh how I was wrong! I bloody love this thing! It is AMAZING! I've been using it with my favourite perfumes aswell to make my home smell amazing!

Heads Up

If you haven't played this game yet, go and download it! I had of course seen this on Ellen and when I found out that it was available for iPhone I quickly headed to the app store and forked out the reasonable 69p for it! My friends and I had a blast playing this on NYE, it is hilarious PLUS it films it all for you so you can play it back and laugh at everyone all over again!

Uggs

About 2 months ago I sadly said goodbye to my trusty Ugg boots that I had had for the past 6 or so years! After about a week I realised how much I relied on them as a quick and easy shoe to chuck on when popping out or chilling at a friends house! My boyfriend also realised this and the cheeky little bugger bought me a brand new pair for Christmas! I got the same again, the classic short Chestnut, and I LOVE them! Sorry if you're an Ugg hater but, for me, these boots rock.

Ultimate Blends - The Sleek Restorer Shampoo & Conditioner

You may have seen in my last TWIL post that I mentioned the hair oil from this collection! After trying out a different shampoo from the Ultimate Blends and hating it I decided that The Sleek Restorer duo were definitely the ones for me, so while they were on offer I snapped them up! I'm nearly out of them now (and I got some new hair bits for Christmas to try) but they have returned my hair to a much better state and also kept it smelling amazing!

Yankee Candle Christmas Cookie

SMELLS.SO.GOOD. Even when not burnt I can smell this thing and I love it!

Surviving Party Season

It's that time of year again where our social calendars become fuller than ever and every weekend has an aray of parties, meals and meets that keep you busier than Santa himself!

With that in mind I thought I would share with you a few of my must-haves for getting through party season, I know alot of you with be juggling parties, piss-ups and work shifts all within the same 24 hours so take note as some of these could be lifesavers for you!

Beat The Blisters

First up, Compeed Blister Relief plasters*! A Christmas/New Years party outfit wouldn't be complete without a fabulous pair of heels and if you're anything like me, you would have bought new ones! After hours of walking, mingling, dancing and whatever other moves you're pulling out of the bag you're feet (unless you have magic soles and toes) are going to ache and you may even be getting some pesky blisters! Be prepared by keeping sliter plasters in your bag! These are great for shoes that are rubbing or even blisters on the bottoms of your feet!
Top Tip : Putting some Vaseline on your feet before wearing new heels can help prevent rubbing!

Refresh That Face

With all the naughty foods and drinks we will be consuming over the next 4 weeks our skin can really take a beating! Not only this but with all the events going on, your bound to be wearing make-up more than usual!
Doing a face mask every week can help keep your skin looking bright and healthy! Rodial's Hangover Mask* is one of my favourites for this, it keeps my skin feeling rejuvenated and clear from any build up and nastiness!

Eyes On The Prize

There's a couple of beauty bits in life that can completely change your look in seconds, one of those things is false lashes! If you don't have long to get ready and want to make yourself look more glamorous than usual - whack on a pair of lashes! These lashes are from Nouveau Lashes and they are from the Let's Go Lashes*  range! As you can see in the picture below these lashes are gorgeous full-on fan lashes and I am so excited to try them out over this holiday season.

"I got that red lip, classic, things that you like" (Yup, I'm quoting TS)

Red lips, red lips, red lips! I love a red lip at this time of year (unless you're rocking a pink dress!)! This one I've including is one of my all-time favourites! Rimmel Apocalips - Big Bang - is a super bright pillar box red and it is perfect for transforming yourself from drab to fab! Plus red is super festive!

Bloat No More

Tight bodycon dress for NYE? High waisted skirts/trousers to rock on Christmas Eve? Being bloated is the worst! Peppermint tea is a great way to relive any bloat and keep your digestive system in check! I like to have one every evening before bed, it's really refreashing and calming and makes me feel like I'm kind of being healthy... especially after the 600 mince pies I've probably eaten already!

Bags Be Gone

Finally it's time for a pick me up for after all those late nights! I love this eye bag slayer, for one.... it is a play on Buffy the Vampire Slayer... the greatest show ever made and my fav! I keep it in the fridge so it is amazing for reducing puffy eyes and also fab for headaches.... coz you may have a few of them after those heavy nights!

I hope you guys liked this post and have a great time over the next month, partying and celebrating :)
