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?

Beauty Bakerie Lip Whips & Remover

I had wanted to try these lipsticks for a very long time, but I was sceptical as I had heard mixed reviews. Some people love them, some people dislike them. I had also heard that they are very hard to remove, which leads me to believe that the staying power must be there. My current favourite liquid lipsticks are still the JSC Velour ones and nothing else I have tried has topped them yet, a couple of brands have come close though! ABOUT THE PRODUCTS The packaging of the lipsticks is simple, but aesthetically pleasing; I like the blue accent caps. It is made out of plastic and there is something inside the tube to make the formula looked twisted in the tube, which is a nice detail that I haven’t seen before. The applicator is a little pear shaped sponge with a little well in the middle to hold the product. The packaging of the remover is also pretty simple and cute. The container is made of lightweight plastic and you could easily repurpose it once you have used up the wipes. You get 3...

Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Palette

I first saw a preview of this palette in early August on the Trendmood Instagram page. I just knew I had to have it. I also own and love the Gingerbread Spice and Gingerbread Extra Spicy Palettes by Too Faced. These are the only types of holiday palettes that actually interest me from Too Faced. All of their other holiday palettes tend to be gimmicky (but pretty looking) and not good quality. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a rounded rectangular shaped tin in a beautiful pumpkin orange colour. The design on the front kind of looks like spread on a cracker. The name of the palette is printed in two different raised fonts. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The little rectangular eyeshadow pans are arranged across a metallic gold base, with the shade names printed in a small black font above each pan. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid of the palette. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in Matte (M),...

Serial Sampler #17

I chose this sample as my free gift with purchase and I hadn’t heard of the brand before. It happens to be part of a series of four fragrances and they are all unisex/genderless. The designs of the full sized bottles are very interesting and artsy. Looking at the four, had I been able to pick which one to receive, I most likely would have chosen the one called 10am Flirt as it seems the fruitiest based of the four. The sample I have is Santal Sky by KIERIN NYC and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “Intertwined like vines, we stroll through Central Park. Leaves release their woody fragrance. Under a canopy of trees, in the center of it all, we are a million miles from city life. Music from impromptu drum circles, the rhythm of runners’ footsteps, diverse languages fill my ears like poetry. This retreat into nature refreshes my soul. The sun smiling down upon us, I pull my loved one close. In synchronicity we breathe.” It contains a mixture notes, such ...
