Today I thought I would show you my christmas jumper, which I will most likely be wearing from now until Christmas haha! I love Christmas jumpers and I think they are a great way to get into the Christmas spirit! (How many times can I say Christmas in one paragraph? 😉
As you can see this jumper is white and fluffy with a really cute robin with a real bobble on his little Father Christmas hat! I got it from TKMaxx which I think is a great place to find xmas jumpers and just about anything else to be honest!
We are now deep into the depths of Autumn so I thought I would list a few reasons why Autumn is probably my favourite season…
Its when my birthday is! My birthday is on the 20th of September and even though it is technically Autumn, I’ve had some lovely sunny, warm birthdays. Even though this year I wasn’t really in a good place for my birthday I still like that its in Autumn.
Kind of following on from this, it’s the fact that its a very ‘transitional’ and beautiful season. We are loosing the warm for a brisker breeze, swapping sandals for boots, sunnys for scarfs. Its so beautiful as the tree’s leaves start to turn golden and red, and then fall. And who doesn’t love to walk through a big pile of crunchy leaves?! Until you find a pile of dog poo…haha
As it gets colder we get new fashions and trends to try out, and I personally LOVE Autumn/Winter trends! You get to start wearing lovely cosy tights and leggings again,  hoodies and all those cute accessorises that you couldn’t in summer! The colours of these clothes as well is something that I really love about Autumn. Also the makeup! Its more acceptable to wear a berry lip for example, and I LOVE a berry lip! 🙂
4. It’s when Halloween is!! For someone who is not a lover of scary films, or really scary anything for that matter, I do love Halloween! I think it’s just such a fun time of year, and its become sort of a tradition for me and my bestie to do something on Halloween night each year, so that makes it doubly exciting! Carving pumpkins and all the decorations, whats not to love?!
5. As well as Halloween, we also have Bonfire Night in Autumn! This is another quite big   time of year for us as a family as my dad’s birthday is also on the 5th Of November, so its hard to forget! I love going to Bonfire’s and fireworks displays, I think they are just so enjoyable and as if you’re dressed appropriately with a nice cup of watery tea or hot chocolate, stood in the middle of probably a muddy field, you know you’re doing it right!
Thats about all I can think of right now, there’s probably more! I hope you enjoyed this post and let me know what you’re favourite things about Autumn are in the comments! 🙂
So now I’ve had a chance to try out the kit ‘Bring On The Night’ by Bare Minerals I thought I’d talk you through the kit and tell you a little about each piece and what I think of it, enjoy! By the way its also my first bit of Bare Minerals make up so its fair to say I was very excited 🙂
Okay so firstly, this is what it looks like…
It’s £45.00 but at the moment in Debenhams its only £30.00!
In the kit you get 8 pieces,
* Original Mineral Veil finishing powder
* Queen Phyllis Matte Eyecolour
* bareMinerals Ready eyeshadow GuestStar and Uncensored
*Lash Domination Volumizing Mascara in intense black
*Beauty Blush
*bareMinerals Ready Luminizer in The Daydream
*Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Glamorista
*Mini Flawless Face Brush
You also get a little booklet explaining how to create the makeup look and where to put each product, which I always like!
So the first thing to put on is the Mineral Veil, which looks like this, its the same one whatever shade your skin but if you buy it individually they do other shades. I haven’t used this as much as I have other products like it I’m using up but its a powder (obviously Lucy, duh!) but its really light and translucent just to finish and set your makeup.
Next in the little instructions is to start our eyes and firstly we put on the Queen Phyllis Matte Eyecolour which I have been loving! I love it with this kit but I’ve used it a lot on its own since I got it as just a base for any look or even on its own. It’s just a really light, matte colour that looks really nice.
Next up we have the eyeshadow duo Gueststar and Uncensored, we first start with Gueststar (On the left) which again I have been loving, its such a lovely bronzy gold colour which on its own would be perfect for summer. But with the kit you put this all over your eye lid 🙂
I looked on debenhams website and I couldn’t find this particular set online, but it might be on the actual bareMinerals website.
The other eyecolour in this set is uncensored which is a dark, glittery indigo colour to put in the crease of your eye to contour.
Next up, use the Lash Domination Volumizing Mascara which I haven’t actually tried because I’m trying to use up the mascara I’m using at the moment before I start a new one.
You can’t see it very well on the picture but the actually mascara head is like a spiral, which I haven’t actually seen anything like this before and it looks pretty good, so I am excited to give this a go. 🙂
Then we have the Beauty Blush which on first glance looks quite a reddy blush, like a real kind of deep rosey colour and trust me you don’t need a lot! Like at all. Just a little bit and swirl it onto the apples of your cheeks and it gives a nice pinky glow.
Sorry for the pretty crappy picture, but my camera doesn’t like photographing things up close and if I shot it the other way round, there’s like a plastic lid thing covering the powder so you don’t get a true sense of the colour anyway.
Coming towards the end now, you’ll be probably happy to hear, we have the bareMinerals Ready Luminizer in The Daydream which is a beautiful light pink, it has like a hint of shimmer in it too and it just looks lovely swept across your cheek bones 🙂Â
Its a nice bit palette too so you can get a nice fluffy brush in there to get the colour out.
Also just like to say all the powders are really soft and blendable too, always a bonus. 🙂
Last and by no means least, because this is probably my favourite product from the kit, we have the Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Glamourista. I really like their lipglosses, just by this one. It’s a really sticky, but like not too ‘wet’ gloss, it really stays on your lips and the colour is like a beautiful mix of shimmery, almost like a light raspberry colour. It has to be seen to be believed my friends 😉
And that marks the end of the Bring on The Night kit by bareMinerals!
I can officially say I really like this kit, the colours are made for a night out, but could quite easily be worn on an everyday basis, with just slight variation. My favourites would have to be the lipgloss, the mineral veil and the Queen Phyllis matte eyeshadow but everything is really nice and I will certainly use. If you get the chance definitely try it out, or just any pieces by bareMinerals because they are really good! 🙂
We’re nearly there and I hope everyone is as excited as I am!! For today I thought I would show you how our house is decorated in true festive spirit!!!Â
ep rosey colour and trust me you don’t need a lot! Like at all. Just a little bit and swirl it onto the apples of your cheeks and it gives a nice pinky glow.
my friends 😉
