Christmas Gifts

Hey everyone! 
So It's very close to Christmas & I have opened a few presents already from my friends and some of my family. So I thought why not do a blog post on some of the cute gifts I got! 

And my favourite...

Happy Christmas!

Christmas Tag

 Christmas is my absolute favourite time of the year and i've seen this christmas tag around quite a lot and decided to have a go :) 

1. On a scale from one to ten, how excited are you for Christmas?

9 because it needs to snow for it to feel like Christmas :)

2. Which John Lewis Christmas advert has been your favourite?

I don't really know because i'm not really bothered about it but probably last years

3. What are your favourite Christmas films?

'The Holiday' definitely. I LOVE it!

4. What time do you usually wake up on Christmas morning?

About 9am

5. What are your favourite Christmas traditions?

Oooh that's hard but we always get a real Christmas tree each year... & I can't think of anything else

6. What's your favourite thing to wear at Christmas?

Pajamas or a Christmas jumper  

7. What is your favourite Christmas drink at Starbucks?

I don't like hot drinks except hot chocolate... so i'd say hot chocolate

8. Do you like Christmas crackers?

Yeah who doesn't

9. What is the best gift you've ever been given?

I actually can't choose but I think this years present I might be getting will be the best :)

The lead up to it  

Current Beauty Favourites

I've been loving a lot of beauty products lately and thought I'd share with you which ones I've been using the most. I hope you find this post helpful in any shape or form as it ranges from lipsticks to perfumes to cleansers so i'm sure there's something for everyone. Enjoy :)

I have been LOVING the 'honey bronzer' (Shade 02) from the bodyshop (£13) recently for many reasons as 1. It's not a harsh colour so it's great for pale(ish) skin tones 2. It's a matte colour; it doesn't have any shimmers in the powder  3. It's not orangey looking on the skin 4. It's great for the autumn/winter months.

To take off my makeup I use 'B. Pure Micellar Water' as it's great for all skin types and generally does the job. You can buy it from superdrug (4.99) but it's always on offer with other B. products.

I have awful dry skin when it comes to autumn/winter time so i'm always on a look out for products aimed at dry skin etc and this cleanser 'Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Extra-Mild' (£16) is so good. Even though I still get dry patches, my skin has improved since I've been using this.

This moisturizer by 'No7 Beautiful Skin Day Cream Dry/Very Dry Skin' (£12.50)  is definitely my favourite skincare product this autumn/winter as I've gone through so many other moisturizers that have done nothing for my skin and this is the only moisturizer I've tried that actually works. So if you have very dry skin like me then definitely check it out.

I absolutely LOVE purple lipsticks and i'm currently building up a collection of them so I bought this one from the body shop in the shade '240 Damson In Distress' (£10) It is worth the price as I wore it the other day and after about 3 hours It was still on my lips. I was surprised as I thought the colour would've rubbed off after about 10 minutes. I'll be definitely buying more from the body shop.

This is my all time favourite winter perfume as I've been wearing it each winter for about 3 years as I love it so much. Again, It's from the body shop called 'White Musk Libertine' (£14) and it smells sooo good. (The one I have is a Leona Lewis limited edition version which they sadly don't sell anymore) 

This 'ColorBurst Matte Balm' in the shade 'Sultry' (£7.99) is a really nice autumnal colour which is great to wear at this time of year. The colour stays on for a while and just an all round good lip product.

I've left my best till last as OMG this perfume is my absolute favourite. And guess where it's from... Primark. 'Polka' (£2) I expected primark perfumes to have a cheap sweet/sickly smell but it's the total opposite. It's quite a musky smell and apparently it's a dupe for 'Lady Million' however I prefer 'Polka' a lot more. The only bad thing about this perfume is that the smell fades quickly but other than that, IT'S SO WORTH THE PRICE.

Thanks for reading :)

Introduction & Hobbycraft haul

Hello everyone, I'm Leah and i'm 15 years old, I've wanted to start a blog for a while now but just never had the time or confidence so this is pretty big for me. However I've learnt in life if you want do something you should just go for it. I don't know how this whole blogging thing will turn out as I doubt anyone would even read it but here I go... hope you enjoy xx


Yesterday I managed to go to hobbycraft for my art supplies as I'm starting my final piece in art next week and needed to get some bits and bobs. I'm creating a journal so I needed a few crafty things to make the journal a bit prettier and more presentable. This what I bought:

I know this post wasn't much, but if you're reading this, 

I appreciate it :)

love Leah
