MY CHRISTMAS IN PHOTOS #1


Hello Lovelies,
I hope you all had an amazing festive season, no matter what you celebrate. In the past I have seen people do "my week in photos" type posts and thought I could use the idea to share what I got up to over Christmas with all of you !


CHRISTMAS EVE


1. My family ♡ There is nothing I love more than spending time with my family.

2. Dips, crackers and bread *Insert heart eyes emoji*

3. Hello Dinner ! In my family, food is often what brings us together. Whether it's family dinners every Monday night at my dad's house, or various events and celebrations throughout the year, you can always find my family huddled around a dinner table chatting and laughing, and Christmas is no exception.

4. A glass of Champagne at Christmas, need I say more ?


CHRISTMAS DAY


1. Each year Christmas Day lunch is held at a different family members house, this year it was at one of my aunts and her families house. Celebrations through out the year with my family are always a happy and sad time for me. I love being able to spend time with my aunts and uncles and my gorgeous cousins, but it's still hard that my mum is no longer with us to be able to experience the laughs and love shared between all of us at Christmas time.

2. There's something about table settings at Christmas that I just absolutely LOVE ! I don't know whether it's the fact that you can go all out with gorgeous decorations, or that it represents you and your loved ones spending Christmas together, but I always just think they look so beautiful and festive.

3. Presents ! Even though Christmas isn't about what gifts you receive, but rather spending quality time with your friends and family - Cheesy I kno, but very true ! - I still feel incredibly lucky that my family and I are able to spoil one another with gifts.

4. Lots of food........ Again !


I also wanted to include this post from "thecrimsonalchemist" on Tumblr, which I think is something people should keep in mind over the festive season ♡

I hope you all enjoyed this post and having a little sneak peak of what I got up to over Christmas. Sending all my love to every single one of you over the festive season and new year.

I hope you all have a fabulous week and I will speak to you all very soon !

Winterise Your Beauty with Adore Me




Hello Lovelies,


all my northern hemisphere readers, I seriously envy you at this time of the year. I envy the fact that you have cold weather over the festive season. I envy the fact that you can wear big over sized jumpers to hide the food baby that it looks like we're having from eating too much food at Christmas and I especially envy all the gorgeous Winter ranges that are coming out at the moment from companies like Adore Me !

Though this post is more aimed at my American and Canadian readers, if you happen to live else where, don't fret, you can still get some gorgeous lingerie inspiration !

---------------------------------

The first look I chose is this gorgeous peach bra and underwear set, which I think would pair lovely with a soft neutral smokey eye and lashes and a natural pink flush to the cheeks. To keep with the simplicity of the pieces, yet still having the extra detailing of the lace, I thought it would tie in really well with the soft eyeshadow look, but still have some oomph with the addition of false lashes.




Next up is this incredibly vibrant blue set, which I thought would look absolutely bomb with an intense cranberry eye, and a glowly highlighted base. I kept it quite natural when it came to the lips and mascara, as I really wanted the jewel tones from the eye and the opaque highlight to be the focus of the look. My inspiration for the look was that the intensity of the cranberry eye would pair really well with the vibrancy of the lingerie pieces





For more gorgeous sexy lingerie inspiration or just to admire the incredible pieces, check out the image below for some more takes on wintery makeup looks paired with various pieces.


I hope you all enjoyed this weeks post, I'd love to hear how you'd pair these pieces with different makeup looks !

I hope you all have a fabulous week - especially during the festive season - and I will speak to you all very soon !
