Christmas Makeup Look

I've recently switched up my makeup routine, to match the festive season. I love experimenting with makeup all year round, but there's something about the festive season that makes me feel more in love with makeup! Perhaps it's the beautiful shades of gold and red or the fact that you can go all out with the glitter and not be judged! Today I thought I'd share with you my Christmas makeup look for the big day itself!

Primer: Benefit Porefessional
Foundation: MAC Studio Fix
Concealer: MAC Mineralize Concealer
Powder: Rimmel Stay Matte
Bronzer/ Contour: Benefit Hoola
Highlight: Benefit Girl Meets Pearl & NARS Albatross Highlight
Eyes: Urban Decay Naked 2 Bootycall & Tease - Barry M Dazzle Dust in 44
Lashes: Tanya Burr Cosmetics Lashes in Party Girl
Lips: Tanya Burr Matte Lip in Christmas Stocking

The Edit: Christmas Beauty

It's finally time for me to do this season's The Edit, I'm not going to lie, the Christmas Beauty post is the one I've been waiting to write since I started this series! Today I'm going to talk you through some of the beauty products that I'll be using throughout the best season of the year!

Benefit's Girl Meets Pearl // £25.50
First up is a product that I haven't really used, but I really should because it's absolutely gorgeous! This is the perfect highlight for the festive season as it's a super pretty pink shade. Girl Meets Pearl is a cream product, so looks so pretty on the cheeks and I'm just so excited to start wearing it!

NARS Albatross Highlight // £24.00
It's been a while since I've featured this absolutely gorgeous highlight from NARS, and yes it might seem weird that I have featured two highlights in this post, but I just couldn't help myself! Albatross is a powder highlight so looks really pretty in the inner corner of the eye or on the brow bone. I do occasionally apply it to my cheekbones, but that's mostly where Girl Meets Pearl goes!

Tanya Burr Eye Shimmer in Champagne Sparkle // (Unavailable)
Next up are eyeshadows / shimmers, the festive season is always the perfect time to bring out the glitter and sparkle. Champagne Sparkle is absolutely gorgeous and looks so pretty on the eyes, unfortunately this was part of the Tanya Burr Cosmetics Advent Calendar, so is no longer available.

Barry M Dazzle Dust in 44 // £4.59
If you've been reading my blog for a while, then you will know that I'm obsessed with the Barry M Dazzle Dust in 105. So I thought it only right to bring out this gorgeous shade now that the party season is here. This shade is the perfect gold and looks gorgeous on the inner eyes.

Tanya Burr Cosmetics Matte Lip in Christmas Stocking // (Unavailable)
What would a post all about Christmas makeup be without including a red lip? The TB Cosmetics Matte Lip in Christmas Stocking is perfect for this time of the year. First of all it's the perfect christmassy red and secondly it lasts ALL DAY! Which is going to be perfect for Christmas day!

So that's this seasons Edit, I hope you've all enjoyed this series that I've started and I cant wait to carry it on throughout 2018. I also hope you've enjoyed this post!

Red Lip Faves

I don't know about you but when I think of Christmas, one of the first things that comes to mind for me are red lips. They always seem to be a popular lip choice around this time of the year. Today I thought that I would share with you my top 3 red lips for the upcoming season!

Tanya Burr Cosmetics Lipgloss in Berry Pavlova //
First up is Berry Pavlova from TB Cosmetics, I'm a huge lover of the brand so it was only right that I included this in this post. Unfortunately this product is now unavailable to buy as it was part of the 2016 Advent Calendar. Berry Pavlova is a super pretty red with berry undertones, both the formula and pigmentation are amazing and it lasts a pretty substantial amount of time on my lips!

Tanya Burr Cosmetics Matte Lip in Christmas Stocking //
Again another product from the 2016 Advent Calendar is the TB Cosmetics Matte Lip in Christmas Stocking. I can't even begin to tell you how gorgeous this shade is! The formula is also matte which makes it perfect for those windy days, as your hair wont get stuck to your lips! This is defintley one of my go to reds and it's such a shame that it isn't a part of the permanent collection!

*Seventeen Stay Pout Lipstick in Date Night // £4.99
Last but not least is Date Night from Seventeen, I was ever so kindly sent this by Seventeen and I must admit it's one of my faves at this time of the year! The pigmentation of this product is amazing, literally the lightest swatch goes a long way! It's also a super creamy formula and doesn't dry out my lips at all!

Christmas Room Tour

And so the festivities begin... I don't know about you, but I'm extremely excited for this next month! Christmas always has and always will be my absolute favourite time of the year! Today I thought I would share with you  a Christmas room tour as I decorated my room last week and I'm so obsessed with it! If you have any questions on where all my décor is from, then please don't hesitate to ask me!
