Fa la la la la, la la la la! Happy December guys! The most wonderful time of the year is finally here, I feel like I've counting down to these days since the middle of summer (I was just that excited). December has always been my favorite month, because everything just feels more cozy and pretty, because the town is decorated with the gorgeous lights and we all start Christmas shopping and decorating our houses. Also, now it is only 24 days away till Christmas and that just makes me incredibly excited and happy. Although, I think the build up to Christmas is probably better than Christmas itself, because the actual day flies by so fast and everything after that just feels sad. So, I'll be making the most of these days, you be sure of that! I have planned on posting every 24 days on here, but sadly I don't think I'll manage to do that because of exams and how busy everything gets this time a year, but I'll definitely be posting lots!

I have already started a bit of Christmas shopping and soon I'll be going out to get the tree and all the new baubles. You can expect a haul of the decorations as well.I am planning on going ice skating, doing some DIYs and visiting a Christmas tree farm. Also, let me know which posts would you like to see the most from me this month? If you need some inspiration for your own blog, you can check out this post: Festive Blog Post Ideas.I am definitely planning on sharing my favorite movies, songs and doing a Christmas tag for you.

  
 

This was a bit of a shorter post, but I just wanted to wish you a happy December and let you in on all the fun things I'll be doing this month! Write to you soon, M xx

Hey everyone, and happy Monday! I feel like this month has flown by and we are getting so close to December, but I don't mind because the holiday season is my ultimate favorite! I am especially looking forward to decorating the house and watching all the vlogmas videos, and of course to all of the posts I will be doing throughout this month. But enough about my Christmas obsession just now and let's talk about my latest beauty obsession and that is my new NYX butter lipstick and lip liner. I have always been a fan of the NYX beauty, but I never managed to get a hold of them, so when I finally did I couldn't have been more excited and I just knew I had to share it with you. You've all probably heard of the NYX cosmetics as they are a very popular and quite affordable high street brand. As well as being very affordable they are quite high quality and lots of bloggers and vloggers have been raving about them for a long time.



The butter lipstick is in the shade Snow Cap and even the name is perfect for the upcoming holiday season. It gives a full coverage and it melts onto the lips and also adds a pop of colour to them as well. The shade is nude, slightly baby pink and it also a bit glossier so that makes it even more amazing for the holidays. Its formula is very lighweight and non sticky and it is quite long lasting, although if you plan on wearing it for a long period of time or the whole day, it will need to be reapplied at least once or twice. It applies directly on bare lips or over a lip liner for more pigmentation.


And to go with it I purchased the lip liner in the shade Peekaboo Neutral. It is a pale pink shade with neutral undertones and it goes amazingly together with the butter lipstick. Unlike the lipstick, it doesn't have shimmer and shine, it gives a matte finish.Once applied, it does stay put and also prolongs wear time of the lipstick. However, after meals, you might need to do a little touch up, but otherwise, it makes even a regular lipstick stay on the entire day.



Also, the packaging of both the lipstick and lipliner is simple yet very classy and pretty and I really like it. They are definitely worth the spend and they make amazing dupes for more expensive products, so if you are on a budget, I would definitely recommend checking out NYX cosmetics.

I am so happy with both of my purchases and will definitely be going out to get more shades and I am planning to get a few of their matte lipsticks as well. Let me know if you've tried NYX products and which is your favorite and also if you have tried out any of these ones, let me know what you thought of them. Until next time! Love, M xx

Christmas is coming! Today makes a month away from Christmas eve so it is definitely not to soon to start getting excited about it! I just love the holiday season and each year I try to make the most of it. As this year I have started this blog, I will be trying to make the most of it on here as well. So to start off, I am coming to you with 25 festive blog post ideas. I hope you will find them interesting and they will give you some inspiration. Also you can expect lots of these to be popping up on my blog as well, during the holiday season, so let me know if you're excited!

Hey everyone, hope you're having an amazing week! Today I am finally doing a beauty post, it has been so long since I have done one. I found this tag on youtube and loved the questions, so I thought why not do it? I would love to read your answers as well, so be sure to leave them in the comments.

1. Would you rather lose all your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks and lip glosses or lose all your palettes and eyeshadows?

- Definitely lose all my palettes and eyeshadows because even though I love them, I do not use them as often as I use my lipsticks and mascaras.

2. Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?

- I think I would rather chop off all my hair, because it would be able to grow back again, but if I never cut it, I would surely hate it, because I am not a big fan of too long hair.

3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?

- I don't really prefer either of them, but if I had to choose I would rather have a pink cheek.

4. If you had a 1000 dollars to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?

- Not a hard choice for me, because even though I am a big fan of makeup, I would much rather spend it on clothes.

5. Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?

- Can you imagine how ridicilous either would look? Makes me chuckle just thinking about it, but I would definitely apply lipstick as eyeliner because I think it wouldn't look as dramatic.

6. Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?

- I am a big fan of both, but I prefer MAC a bit.

7. Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life?

- I would only use one eyeshadow color, because I like nude eyeshadows and I much prefer to experiment with lipsticks and lip colors.

8. Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?

- I would rather wear winter clothes in summer, because I get cold easily so wearing summer clothes in winter would definitely not work for me!

9. Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?

- I think I would rather have darker nails, because I prefer them a bit more to brighter nails.

10. Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?

- This is hard, but I would give up my favorite eye product.

11. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?

- I can't do a cool messy bun for life, so definitely a ponytail because I love wearing my hair in a ponytail anyway.

12. Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lip gloss?

- Never use lip gloss, because I am a more of a lipstick kind of girl and I love painting my nails haha.

13. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in every day?

- Either would look gross and ridicilous, but I think I would rather sharpie them in every day because even though they would look horrible at least I would have them!

14. Would you rather live without make up or nail polish?

- This is the hardest question, because I adore both of them, but if I had to choose I would pick living with out nail polish.



This was a really fun tag, I enjoyed answering these questions. I hope you liked this post and until next time, Love, M xx

Bookworms of the world unite! Hey guys, today I am back with another installment of the All About series (you can read the other ones I did: All About Movies, All About Autumn and All About Converse)! This one is about one of my all time favorite topics and that is... books! '' A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, the man who never reads lives only one '' says a quote from my favorite TV and book series Game of Thrones and I couldn't agree more with it. I have always enjoyed reading, ever since I was a little girl and my mom would read fairytales to me before bedtime. I just love books, I love that moment when you open one and sink into it. You can escape from the world into a story that's way more interesting than yours will ever be. I believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book and as Stephen King says books are a uniquely portable magic. I love the fact that as we lose ourselves in books, we find ourselves in them too. I have always, as I've said, had a great love for books so I decided to share it with you. Picking out my favorites just wasn't doable so I split lots of the ones I love in a few categories, so I hope you'll find some you like and get inspired to read. Pick out an evening or whenever you have some free time and grab a book and a cup of tea or coffee or hot chocolate even and just let it take you into a whole new wonderful world.

Fall is in full swing and while enjoying it and making the most of it, I am sure most of us have experienced a few struggles. Being a girl in fall is not easy, so I decided to make this post to share all of the struggles I have had! This is a bit of a silly and fun post, so don't take it too seriously and let's poke a little bit of fun at ourselves!

When Daylight Savings Time goes into affect and it starts to get dark at 4:30 pm. Daylight savings time is great because we get that extra hour of sleep in the morning which we all need, but it is also really annoying because it starts to get dark outside so early and that always makes me sleepy and I can't seem to ever get done the things I have planned.

Seeing gorgeous fall recipes and DIY project all over pinterest but being way too lazy to make any of them. Pinterest is amazing because it shows you so many gorgeous recipes and projects but at the same time it makes me feel bad, because I am either too lazy to make them or just not creative enough so it never turns out how it looks on the photos.

Deciding if you should have another Pumpkin Spice Latte and whether it should be iced or hot, depending on the weather. Ahh, the struggles of us girls!

Picking out the right shade of foundation to go with your new pale skin. This is such a problem for me, because I still have not found the perfect foundation for my skin in fall and winter time!

Dry skin and hair. Especially dry lips, just the worst.

Wanting to wear your new fall clothes, but realizing it's still a little too warm. It is freezing in the morning, so you break out your sweater, boots and coat and by noon you get boiling hot. That has happened to me more times than I could count.

Trying to choose a new fragrance for fall and winter. And picking out the right candles and having way too many to choose from!

Losing sleep because you can't stop binge watching new episodes of your favorite shows. Fall is the time when all tv shows get back from hiatus and catching up on all of them is simply impossible!

Figuring out what to do with your hair when it's raining. The number one struggle, because wearing beanies and hats all the time just is acceptable.

Dealing with runny noses caused by allergies and colds! Just the worst thing that can happen to you in fall and you just always look tired and worn out.

Getting red lipstick all over your teeth! Dark lipsticks are great and look amazing but just not when they are all over your teeth.

That's it for this post, I hope you liked it and can relate to some of these struggles and let me know if I have missed any. Until next time, Love, M xx
