Blogmas #1 | TAG - Christmas Favourites

For today’s post, I am going to share with you a few of my Christmas favourites. These are things I look forward to each year and have kind of become a tradition in itself.

FILM
This film has been a favourite Christmas film of mine for many years and it is something I look forward to watching every year. It is ... Santa Clause: The Movie (1985). It is quite an old film now, but I still enjoy watching it year after year. It is magical, funny and sad and it spreads a clear message of Christmas joy and charity.

SONG
My favourite Christmas themed song is ‘Fairytale of New York’ by The Pogues ft. Kirsty MacColl. It is viewed as a more adult type of song because it’s lyrics contain words like, bum, punk, slut, junk, scumbag, maggot and faggot. I don’t consider any of the words to be offensive, but some people regard them as crude words. So when it is played on radio during the day, some of the words are bleeped out, which really ruins the song. Regardless, it is still a favourite of mine and it is loved by many more.

FOOD
I love having and look forward to a big Christmas roast dinner each year, but I also long to have a small sweet treat. So every year I look forward to the Cadbury Magical Elves. They are small chocolate elf figures with popping candy inside and they are delicious. I always collect all the colours and each elf has different name corresponding to their colour and a gemstone. There is Alexandrite (red), Sunstone (yellow), Peridot (green), Amethyst (purple), Citrine (orange), Quartz (white), Topaz (pink) and last but not least Zircon (blue). Sadly, Cadbury have discontinued them for this year and have instead released popping candy Freddo’s. I loved Freddo’s as a child and I’m sure they will be even better with popping candy within them. So all is not lost, I just won’t get to see my favourite and colourful little elves!

COLOURS
Red, Emerald Green & Silver. I like these colours in general, but when they are put together, they just remind me of Christmas.

I hope you found this TAG insightful and I TAG YOU to do the same. Only 24 days to go!

What are some of your Christmas favourites?

Katie Price 'Stunning' Perfume VS JoJo Siwa 'Be You' Perfume - Are they the same?

I was browsing on AllBeauty.com and looking at celebrity fragrances and I saw that one was listed for JoJo Siwa. I had heard of JoJo before, but I don’t really know anything about her. I clicked on it out of interest and when I first saw the image of the perfume, I thought maybe the wrong photograph had been uploaded until I clicked on it and saw the description of the perfume. When I first saw the photograph, before I clicked on it to read the description, I instantly thought, that’s Stunning by Katie Price! I looked into it a bit more and compared it to Stunning. The JoJo Siwa “version” is called Be You. Photo Source: Perfume.com Stunning by Katie Price ·          Released in 2007 (12 years ago). ·          Contains the notes; Mandarin Orange, Jasmine & Patchouli. ·          Classed as a floral scent. ·       ...

Swatches: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils

Milk (604) - cream, bold & opaque matte white Yoghurt (611) - frosty, light champagne copper These pencils are really creamy and the shade selection is brilliant. I chose two basic shades, one to be a light base and the other to be a highlight. They do crease and can become messy, as you have to sharpen them. Overall they are ok, but I wouldn’t re-purchase them! £5 | NYXcosmetics.co.uk What do you think of these shades? ♥ ♥ ♥

Perfume Power! - DKNY 'Be Delicious'

Photo:  FashionDayDreams.com My Mum went to a car boot sale and found this and bought it. My Mum didn’t like it so she gave it to my sister and then my sister gave it to me. The bottle is a sphere shape inspired by an apple. On the smaller sizes the cap is basic like on most perfumes and is made of silver reflective plastic. The bottle base is made of translucent bottle green glass. On the bigger sizes the cap doesn’t come off and it is the actual dispenser, so when you press it down the perfume sprays. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Grapefruit, Cucumber & Magnolia Middle Notes: Tuberose, Rose, Lily-of-the-Valley, Violet & Green Apple Base Notes: Sandalwood, Amber & Wood This perfume smells fruity, floral and fresh and the apple scent really stands out. It is also quite a strong scent, but it is not overpowering. I also think that it is quite universal as it is not sweet. Lastly because the scent is quite strong, it lasts quite a long time...
