Instagram post 2191330333998626248_3273331858 Gifted| Do you have a morning ritual?
When it comes to getting out of bed and helping me look like I’m one of the living, there are certain things I always rely on.
First is my @lumie.lights alarm clock. They’re not cheap but this has been a life saver for me. Granted, I’m not jumping out of bed, so excites to get to work but the gradual build in gentle light helps my body feel less attacked by that awful iPhone alarm and I’m often awake before it reaches full intensity!
The second is a cup of tea. I very rarely skip my morning cuppa. I wake up, make it and pop back into bed for 20 minutes just adjusted and preparing myself mentally for the day ahead. Plus look at memes of course.
The last thing is a good under eye brightener. I’ve been really loving the Flawless Eye Retouch from @transformulas to help me look fresh in the morning. Not too thick or matte, simply paint under the eye and blend. The light reflective particles instantly smooth and conceal to make my eyes look brighter but in a really natural way. I’m not about that heavy cakey makeup look and this is just amazing.
What’s your morning routine?
Instagram post 2189180982895414005_3273331858 Hello 1st of December, I’m ready for you!
Today is tree day. We’re having a big cooked breakfast, opening our advent calendars and decorating our new house for our first Christmas which I’m very excited about. Then to finish, a big roast dinner. The perfect Sunday!!
Also big big shout out to @lifeofpingkan and @hyphyhip. I just love doing photoshoots with these two. I only have to mention an idea I have and they help me execute it and photograph it better than I even imagined it! 💋
Instagram post 2187707010173471285_3273331858 TGIF! So excited for this weekend because it’s the 1st of December and you know what that means?!? Christmas Tree!!!! Have you put yours up yet or are you go for this Sunday too? 
Tonight I’m having a chilled one. Anyone else wake up and already look forward to getting home and doing nothing? It’s my absolute fave. Top choices are reading a book or I’m already on the fifth season of Bones and loving it!

I am a peachy nude girl through and through but there’s something about this @fentybeauty lipstick in Clapback that makes me feel kickass! It’s a rich navy blue and it’s the only non-conventional lip colour I’ve ever bought. Something about the shade and finish called to me the second I saw it! Never mind the Fenty Mattemoiselle lipsticks feel great on. Not a touch of dryness and the colour is beyond pigmented. 
Haven’t quite been daring enough to wear it outside yet though even though I’ve had it for a year though... whoops.
What’s the boldest lip colour you’ll wear?!
Instagram post 2167408175811453203_3273331858 Gifted| It’s the 1st of November and to me that means it’s the start of the festive season. Ok I’m not talking get the tree up and lights everywhere but little bits of fun and magic every day are a must for me this month. I’m talking mince pies, lots of chocolate, Greggs festive bakes 😋 and @pret Christmas sandwiches (I’m sooooo ready). Plus it’s time to get out the winter cosy pyjamas and relax in festive bubble baths. Which brings me on to one of my favourite bath products, the @lush Snow Fairy Bubble Wand! For starters it’s pink so it’s a win and I love how easy it is to swish round in the water creating swirls of sparkly pink bubbles, all with that classic Snow Fairy scent.
Instagram post 2166668354130372191_3273331858 Happy Halloween!!! 🎃🕸🍬👻🤡
What are your plans for this evening? Party? Trick or Treating? Or hiding away?! I’ve got my pumpkin carved (on the instastory) and my buckets of sweets ready! This year I’ve got skittles and of course the classic haribo packs. I wanted mini smarties but couldn’t find them anywhere! I’m not a big fan of sugary sweets like Swizzels so always get something I would actually eat. After all, a fair few packets will need to be tested by me for research purposes! 
What’s your favourite Halloween sweet treat? Any you really hate? Parma Violets = blerghhhh 🎃🕸🍬👻🤡

Pixi Beauty Pixi Pretties collections

Pixi Beauty collection by Pixi Pretties

The Pixi Pretties. Very reminiscent of the cool group so many of us wanted to be a part of in high school. I would have done anything to be part of that exclusive club and be one of the “it” girls. Even now my desire to be part of the in-crowd is strong. I love to go to the must-visit hangouts and wear what all the fashion bloggers deem stylish. However, there’s no need for me to go all Mean Girls and start cutting holes in my t-shirt just yet because Pixi Beauty have an exclusive invite to this Pixi Pretty gang in the form of three new collections.

Pixi Pretty – Chloe Morelle

The inspiration behind Chloe Morello’s makeup duo is good old fashioned romance. Being in love is all about flushed cheeks, natural radiance and a luminous complexion and the Palette Chloette does just that. It’s a nifty little palette that contains three eyeshadow duos, three eyeliner/brow shades and three blushers. It’s the perfect collection to create a whole look, that you can mix and match depending on your style. It even has a handy little mirror that allows you to apply your makeup on the go. The blush shades are my favourite in this palette. They have the most buttery soft formula I have come a cross in a blush. Peach, rose and a bronzed pink, different colours for different moods, all with the addition of subtle shimmer.

The eyeshadows all have a shimmer finish too and come in a gorgeous array of neutrals that would suit any complexion. Each duo has a light and dark shade so you can build your eye look for a more sultry finish for the evening. All eyeshadows are very soft and apply well with a finger or dense brush. I did find them to be more powdery than the other collections and it does take a while to build up the level of coverage I desire. However, I suspect this is because these shades are designed for creating a natural diffuse eye, that is meant to enhance, rather than a bold statement look.

The Lip Icing is my new handbag staple. You can wear it over lipstick or on it’s own to add that extra little sparkle and dimension to complete your makeup. Plus it smells like rose and vanilla cupcakes!!

Pixi Pretty – Dulce Candy

If you’re a shimmer eyeshadow girl, this palette is for you. It’s not for the faint hearted and should be used with caution to prevent shimmer overdose! Named Cafe con Dulce, this palette contains nine universal shades with that almost foil shine finish. They have a more creamy texture than the Palette Chloette and feel similar to the popular Colourpop Supershock shadows. I couldn’t possibly pick a favourite as they are all stunning and I’m currently trying to see if I can create a look using all nine colours as I can’t bare to leave one out.

Dulce’s Lip Candy palette was the biggest surprise for me. I never ever buy lipsticks in a palette form. It makes me think of being a young child buying my first makeup kit with blue eyeshadows and razor sharp eyeliner pencils. However, after trying this one, I am now an official lip palette convert. Well a Pixi Pretties palette convert at least. The formula is so creamy they glide onto the lips. Each one feels moisturising and smooth all whilst giving me a delightful dose of colour.

The only downside is of course, the travel element. Unless you have a huge handbag and lip brush, if you want to top up your lippy, you’re pretty much screwed. I’d love it if the most popular shades from this palette could be made into lipstick bullets. I’m putting a vote in for Canela, a pinky brown that enhances my natural lip colour and would look lovely whatever the occasion.

Pixi Pretty – Weylie Hoang

I love, love, love this little eyeshadow palette my Weylie Hoang. The Let’s Talk Eyes palette reminds me of coffee, which is probably why I love it so much. Light lattes, creamy caramels and sultry espressos it’s the perfect combination of earthy tones and subtle shimmers. It has the best pigmentation out of all the collections and is the perfect portable size. Combined with a smudge-free dual-ended liner, this eye set has everything you need to create a multi-dimensional look.

If there’s one thing that Pixi Beauty know how to do perfectly it’s creating products that bring out the natural beauty in everyone. I really love every collection designed by the Pixi Pretties. You can clearly see the detail and thought behind each product as well as Pixi’s main beauty ethos. You can create so many looks using any palette, as they each one compliments the other. My go to at the moment is the Weylie eyeshadows, Chloe blush in Promise and Dulce lip cream in Canela.

Simply, naturally, pretty.

    I was so excited to see these collabs with PIXI beauty! I love DulceCandy as she was the first beauty guru that I watched on Youtube. Her palette looks gorgeous and I may just have to go purchase this palette now!
