 Hey guys, hope you all had a great Christmas! Now Christmas is over, it's time to think about New Years; the ultimate party night! I've created this intense black smoky eye with glitter and combined that with a dark berry lip for a super glamorous party night look.

As this post is my last one before Christmas tomorrow, I decided to reminisce on our family traditions at Christmastime in the past and how they have changed over the years. Go get yourself a warm drink and maybe a snack and let's take a trip down memory lane about my Christmas past.

During this festive season there are three shades of lip colours I tend to opt for to suit different occasions in the run up to Christmas.

For this Christmas makeup tutorial, I used the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette to create a gold toned smoky eye which is perfect for a Christmas event and you can add glitter or lashes, for example, to add a bit more of glamour!

When Christmas is over, there is only one thing on the mind of bargain hunters; Boxing Day Sales. In the time between Boxing Day and New Year, stores dramatically reduce the prices of their products to clear stock and to make way for new products in the New Year. I have found six shopping tips to eliminate the chaos during these seasonal sales.

5 Days to Go! For a Christmas Day Makeup look I love going for the classic winged liner and a red lip but I wanted to make it a bit more festive so I incorporated some silver into the eye makeup which you could alternate to gold if you wanted to depending if you have a warmer skin tone.

This is the Christmas post I have been waiting for! My first post this series was a Haul of everything I had bought for Christmas and since decorating my room with them I have been so excited to show you how I've decorated my room all festive for Christmas!

Who doesn't love a good Christmas jumper? In previous years, I haven't been a fan of wearing Christmas clothing but last year I bought my first Christmas jumper and since then I've been in love with them!

They say as you get older you shouldn't use shimmer and glitter and things like that but as it's the party season, I am going completely against that 'rule' to present you with a makeup tutorial for mature skin types that has glitter incorporated into the eyes.

What better way to spend chilly Winter evenings than baking some festive cupcakes? For this years Christmas themed cupcakes, I went with a very wintry theme using light blue and white with these really cute snowmen icing decorations and these are super easy to make and decorate!

'Tis the Christmas Party Season and for this party inspired makeup look, I am using the Naked Smoky Palette from Urban Decay to create a dramatic halo smoky eye combined with lots of silver and glitter for that really Christmassy effect! I am also doing a full tutorial of how I am doing my face makeup as well and also what brushes I use too.

Its Christmas! Well, its very nearly Christmas and for my first festive post of 2015, I am doing a haul of everything I've bought from the season, from decorations to Christmas jumpers to sweets and chocolates. I'm going to be honest, I have gone a little bit crazy this year.

I don't know about you guys, but in our house pets are a huge part of our family and we couldn't possibly leave them out at Christmas! This is what we got our (spoilt) cat and dog for Christmas!

Over the last few months I have accumulated some new makeup products and I haven't done a haul in a while. I felt the monthly haul was starting to get a bit too braggy but I still want to do the occasional one so I thought I would show you some of the new makeup I have purchased since about August/September time. I also went to London during November and I bought a few pieces as well.

It's been a while since I have reviewed something from MUA, in all honesty I haven't really been interested in anything they've launched recently until I saw these Metallic Liquid Lips Lip Glosses, £4 each. I have five out of the six shades because I absolutely love them!

Today's Gift Idea is the Makeup Revolution 144 Eye Shadow Palette 2016 Collection, £10 in Superdrug. I was really excited when I saw this, MUR released one last year for Christmas which I was excited to get and this year, this one has different shades which is great.

 New from Lush for Christmas is this mint-humbug themed bubble bar called 'Bar Humbug', £3.65.
