Beth's Little Beauty Blog

 It isn't often that I spend so much money on one mascara, my go to mascara is the Lash Sensational from Maybelline but Debenhams had 10% off Beauty and Fragrance recently so I decided to try this Too Faced 'Better Than Sex' Mascara which originally costs £19.

In recent years, Secret Santa has become a popular Christmas tradition where friends, work colleagues etc secretly buy someone a Christmas gift after drawing out a name. I am excited to be taking part in Secret Santa at my work and for all of you who are doing Secret Santa, I have a few different ideas. Some of these would also make really great stocking fillers, too.

I am so excited to show you something that has given me a kick up the backside to get more organised with my blog and to keep track of all my posts and that is this gorgeous planner created especially for bloggers and YouTubers to plan, brainstorm and track blog posts and videos.

Hello... It's Me... Actually, its Adele and she is back with an incredible new single called 'Hello' from her new album '25' and I am in love with this song, its so emotional and powerful and as soon as I watched the music video I knew I instantly had to do an inspired tutorial.

This weeks Gift Guide is a fun novelty gift perfect for all ages and it is the Elgento Candy Catcher, £19.99 (was £39.99) available in Robert Dyas.

In my last blog post, I reviewed the gorgeous Nude Dude Palette from The Balm and today I have created this makeup look using most shades from the palette.

Here's the part where I say 'I made an exception and bought another nude eye shadow palette.' Well, honestly, this is so worth it; one of the best £30 I have spent on a palette! The Superdrug in the town where I work had a revamp in the makeup aisle and introduced several new brands including The Balm and I picked up their 'Nude Dude' palette as a bit of an impulse buy and I am so glad I did.

For this weeks Gift Guide, I am focussing on this beautiful Yankee Candle 5 Votive Candle Set and Votive Candle Holder (sold separately). I purchased this in Debenhams as a Christmas gift for someone and I loved it so much I thought it would make a really great gift idea.

I was specially requested to create a Harley Quinn inspired makeup look so after playing around with different looks, themes and styles, I created this look which I absolutely love and I am so pleased with how it turned out.  

Don't cry over spilled milk - bathe in it! This comforting little milk bottle bubble bar is filled with uplifting orange oil and skimmed milk to treat your skin to a dose of happiness. A cocoa butter bottle top adds a little bit of extra softness. Simply crumble under running water, for a super bubbly treat of a bath.

How can it be nearly Christmas already? It seems that this year has just flown by and before you know it, we'll be knee-deep in Christmas presents, cards, wrapping paper... the lot. Finding someone that perfect Christmas gift can be tricky, but not to worry, I have several gift ideas every Friday for the next few weeks. The first gift idea I have is this Pantone 24 Colour Eye Shadow Palette, £16, available in Boots.

Uh oh, here we have yet another nude eye shadow palette that had 'accidentally' made it's way into my makeup collection! This limited edition eye shadow palette, £6.49, contains eight super gorgeous shades ranging from a pale nude to a rich deep plum with rose-gold shades mixed in too.

Bonfire Night is one of my favourite nights of the year, it's a cosy Autumnal night gazing at fireworks and bonfires and I have created this warm smoky eye for the occasion.
