December favourites

Favourites of December!

I thought that i had better get this blog post up before it was still allowed to do this ( jokingg )
Okay so here is a list of things which i love and been using a lot in December.







.  Nuetrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash 
After finishing all of my other face washes ( i have done a review all on them http://beautybile.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/reviewing-face-washes.html )
I wanted to try a brand that i have never tried before. The first thing i want to say is the smell of this thing! I love the fresh, zingy sent. If you don't like very sharp scents this may not be the face wash for you. This is great for awakening you seances in the morning! I will also be doing a detailed review on this face wash.

. Charlie Body Sprays
Firstly just to say i am useless at describing scents so this will be interesting! 
I love body sprays, but i don't like overpowering or extremely strong scents. If you use to much you can strong very strong! What i do is i spray and then shimmy into it - yeah don't judge! 
I have been using these a lot and "Chic" is my personal favourite. These sprays are also very inexpensive, i would recommend that you pick a few of these up.


. So Magic Perfume by Lancome
A another scented thing - oh dear!
I have  had this perfume for a while but never really used a lot until now. This was a gift from my grand mare a few years a go. I used to use it as a room spray, what a waste of lovely perfume!
I have been wearing this perfume a lot recently and i think i will be wearing into January too. This scent is not sweet but i think it is slightly on the stronger scenes. As you can see i have used a lot. 

. Baby Lips in Cherry Me
Everyones has raved about these for quite a while now. My lips get very dry and horrible in the winter so a lip balm is very nessary. I love how this has a amazing scent i could smell forever! There are balms that are tinted and are not, this one is not. i love these lip balms. Get some!

.  Revlon Lip Butter In Juicy Papaya 
I love these lip butters and if you don't have any already i would defiantly getting some! I have mentioned this lip butter in many blog posts and my love still grows strong! I would call this my lip enhancer as when you put it on it looks extremely natural and really enhances your natural lip colour. If you are  bit scared of adventuring in to orange lip stick/butters, this would be a great one for you as the colour in the bullet does not come out on your lips.

. 17 Fast Finish Nail Polish 
I have been loving reds/burgundy as you know and thus nail polish has just really been going with what i have been wearing. My sister is wearing it as well. I think a very fine glitter nail polish on the top look amazing. The glitter nail polish that personal i have been wearing is by Barry M in Diamond, looks like this.

. Solar Oil Nail and Cuticle Conditioner 
Going with the same nail track it is still very important to moisturise your cuticle. I got this cuticle oil from my aunty ( hello if your reading! ) she has a amazing nail bar and gave this to me and when ever i paint my nails i always put it on - as it gets colder that will take its toll on your hands so its important to use this. It also smells amazing so thats a plus.

. MUA Blusher in Bon Bon
I am sure you are aware of the brand MUA, but incase you are not it is a British brand that are very inexpence and is a equivalent on the brand ELF in the US. This blusher is £1 yes £1! It gives a lovely glow to the face, but the only thing that i would say is that when you swirl you brush in the blusher is can become kind of flakey i want to say, but lovely pigmentation. it does not stay on all day as i re applied it but i soupous that i what you get for a £1 blush. Still love it though!

. Rimmel Bronzer
I normally do not like bronzers as i think they can look a bit orange and weird. i tried this think that i going to give it away but end loving it. I put it on my friend and it looked stunning on her so i tried it on myself. Good price, Love it, Get it!

. Real Techniques Brushes 
These brushes are amazing quality and i can not give them enough praise. All of the brussels stay in and they are just amazing!


Thank you for reading

Hello 2014

2013 into 2014


I have sat down and had a really big review  on 2013 and on 2012. I always think it is good to think about the years, i was talking to my best friend and telling her that i went very deep into my review on the years . I will not be going that deep again..

After thinking about that it is only right to start this year off with a positive view and attitude. After two very turbulent year i am determined to make 2014 the best ever. I find it hard to stick to resolutions but i have made a list that i want to keep to. At the end of this year i will look back and see what i have achieved.



Drink more water
When you are very busy and active in a day your mind is always very set on different things. I can go through a whole day without drink any water, oops. This is not good for the body or mind. Drinking a lot of water is beneficial for the skin and can make you feel a lot better inside and out. 


Think positive
 I can that in a situation i don't see the positive enough. I will be more likely think of the negatives of something before i think about anything positive. If i feel down or anxious i can work my self up about something and be in a right negative mind frame. I need to stop finding the wrongs in everything and start looking for the great things in a bad situation

Read a bit more
Having dyslexia i find it very hard to read and wright. This is a definition that i found :
  1. 1.
    a general term for disorders that involve difficulty in learning to read or interpret words, letters, and other symbols, but that do not affect general intelligence.


Writing  a blog is very therapeutic for me and i helps me with school work. Think about how many spellings i have to go through when writing  a big blog post....
You can only imagine what it was like when my mum couldt understand why i was useless at reading and writing . It can be very hard to go school with dyslexia because when you look at other people who are getting very high marks and they are unhappy, this leaves me feeling  very thick and other adjectives. And this goes back to thinking positively. Being in these bad negative spiral moods also kicks in my anxiety and panic attacks - great.
Even though reading is particularly hard for me i love getting my head into a good story but with help i get through the story and it is the greatest feeling when you achieve something you have set your mind on.


Don't sweat the small stuff
Being naturally a very worried person (well that panic and anxiety for you all). I can tend to get very overly stressed over small and insignificant things. I think i need to learn that somethings really don't matter and i should not give a f, 2014 is going to be a year of minimal stress and maximum  enjoyment.

Be more confident in your own skin
I love this quote. I love how it implies that you are you and you cant change that and don't let anyone else change you. Surround yourself with people that brings out the best in you and don't be anything else but you. It can be very easy to lose yourself with other people around you.



So there are a few of my personal goals/challenges i have set myself. As i said when i began my blog i was going to wright about beauty, fashion and lifestyle type posts.

What sort of challenges/goals have you set yourself?
