January Favourites


Hello everyone, hope you're well!
January passed by pretty quickly, didn't it? I still can't over that it's 2015 to be honest.
Anyway, here's my favourite things from January..





Recently I've been wanting to be more healthy and get my body in better shape. I'm in no means fat but I would
like to be more toned and have better eating habits. Eating good food is also beneficial to your skin which is
another reason for it. I know Lucy Mecklenburgh from watching her on TOWIE and also I know about how she
has now started helping girls get fit and healthy by doing Results with Lucy. I was also interested but didn't
really want to sign up and pay all that money if I wasn't 100% sure on it. When I saw she has brought out a book,
I was all over it. The book is very informative and has taught me to much about food and exercise. It's also very
inspiring seeing other people's stories about they lost weight and did it in a healthy way. It's definitely helped
me to be more careful of what I'm putting into my body and made me more inclined to work out, not just to lost
weight or tone up but to feel better and more energised. I definitely recommend it if you're interested in losing
weight, toning up or even just wanting to be more healthy. Especially if it's only £7!

I got this in a set for Christmas along with the Tinglexfoliate Treatment and also the Thirty Mud Hydrating
Mask. I've really enjoyed trying them all out and love them all so much. This is probably my favourite one out
of them all. It's to help clear the skin or any large pores, blackheads and breakouts. I suffer from blackheads
and breakouts and my pores have never usually been a massive problem but recently they're starting to become
one I'm sad to say. This mask is definitely a saviour though. It helps draw out any impurities in the skin and
you can actually see it working. I really like the results so I'm definitely going to be purchasing a full size pot
and use it on a regular basis! The only downside is the price but I can see the mask lasting me a while so, I don't
think I will need to restock too often.

The second most favourite Glam Glow mask of mine is this Tinglexfoliate treatment. It's suppose to be a 'facial
in a jar' for immediate camera ready glowing skin. I will definitely say that I agree with this. When you put the
mask on your feel it tingle a lot. I don't think everyone will love this feeling as it's quite intense but I really enjoy
it as I know it's working it's magic! It's only supposed to be on your face for 10 minutes then wash is off and you're
good to go! I love using it just before I go out somewhere nice. I love that it makes me look glowing and radiant
and ready for a night out! It's the most perfect little mask every girl should have.

Now, I do love my original basics palette but for some reason, I've been grabbing for this one much more this past
month. The colours are new so are a bit more exciting to use than the original one which, I've had for quite a while
now. They're all natural colours too so are great for everyday wear and last all day long.

When it comes to nail polishes I either like a deep red or a nude pink. I got this one in my Ciate advent calender
in December and haven't stopped using it since. It's such a feminine colour and I love those colours. Its the perfect
bridal colour as well. I'm really into nudes and pale pink's at the moment on nails. It's so simple yet so elegant.
This one need s a few coats which, is something I don't love but I do really think the colour is beautiful on the nails.
I'm quite pasty at the moment and it looks nice on me but I also think it'd go beautifully with a tan also!

I love when I find cheap make up brushes that are amazing. I do love my Real Techniques and MAC brushes but
I love finding great little finds like this. I still can't get over that this brush was only £3! It's a concealer brush but I
like to use it for my lower lash line or putting colour in the crease of my eye. I have another brush from Wilko which
is a blending brush. they both are such good value for money and even if they break I don't mind buying another as
they are so cheap. I can't really see them breaking though as they seem like they are pretty decent quality!

My Ciate Advent Calender Part 4



Hello everyone!
Hope everyone's had a lovely Christmas and New Year!
Sorry it's been so long since I last posted. Christmas was a very busy time for me! Plus, I've not been very well
recently but I am back with my final post on my Ciate advent calender. I got quite a few colours in here I
know I'm going to love! Hope you enjoy!


L-R: Glitter - Glitter All The Way, Chinchilla, Members Only, Knickerbockerglory, Caviar Pearls - Ice Queen, Apple
& Custard, Iced Frappe, Sequin- Mistletoe Magic, Talent Scout.


This was 10 days lots of surprises from my calender. One of them being 3 mini nail files which, I doubt I'll use
but they look really cute! I got quite a few colourful shades that would be perfect for spring/summer months. I
got a few decorative things too. I'm not a massive fan of these as I find them really difficult to apply. I prefer
glitter polishes for an added bit of sparkle as they're much more easy to apply. My favourite is definitely
'Glitter All The Way'. If you saw my nail polish collection, you'd see I quite love a gold glittery polish!
I'm hoping to do a little post on all my favourite colours from the calender soon too so look out for that!

My Ciate Advent Calender Part 3



Hello everyone!
Today I'm going to be showing you the next 7 nail polish's I got in my advent calender.
They're much more spring/summer colours this week apart from the gold glitter which is love.

I got little decorative sliver and red balls which, look very difficult to do but I'm sure after a bit of practice I
can make it work! I got a lovely pale yellow colour which is beautiful but I got another yellow shade which,
is more of a mustard colour. This one I'm not so fond of as I prefer more feminine colours.


L-R: Caviar Pearls Deck the Nails, Kiss Chase, Pillow Fight, Amazing Gracie, Hidden Gem, Loop the Loop & Party Shoes.


My favourite shade is Amazing Gracie and I absolutely love the name of it.
I think it would look beautiful with Party shoes on top.

My Ciate Advent Calender Part 2




Hello everyone!
So I did a post about a week or so ago about my advent calender this year. It's basically got nail varnish
each day and two surprise gifts instead of unhealthy chocolate everyday! Today I'm just showing you
the first week of the things I've got from it including one of the surprise gifts!
My first post on My Ciate Advent Calender Here



L-R: Snow Globe, Boudoir, Hopscotch, Hoopla, Sugar Plum & Fit For A Queen.
Below is the bracelet I got as a surprise gift.


Each day when I open a new door there is a lovely little uplifting quote on
the inside of each door which I absolutely love.

In the first week I got 2 glittery nail polish's, 2 pastel shade's and 2 bright shades. I think the first lot of
colours are very lovely. My favourite one so far is the bright red (Boudoir). It's the perfect colour for Christmas.
I will be showing you what the colours look like on the nails after I've opened the whole advent calender so
look out for that! I'll also be showing you the next week lot of nail polish's I get!

My Ciate Advent Calender


Hello everyone!
So, I usually do the traditional chocolate advent calender every year but this year I wanted to be healthy (sort of)
and I also got extremely excited when I saw this advent calender. The Ciate Mini Manicure Month Set (£19.99)
contains 24 nail polishes which are all pretty good sizes. they aren't full sizes but they definitely are very
generous sizes for the price you pay of this calender.

I'll be posting about all the new ones I get every so often to keep
you updated on what colours I get each day so look out for those!
