December Favourites

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE, how is the new year treating everyone? I hope you've had a great Christmas holidays but now its a new year and time to be strict with myself and blogging. So as my welcome to 2015 post, I will share with you my December favourites.

So just above is a picture of all my favourites from last month. Some of these were bought by myself or given to me by friends as Christmas presents. So lets start off with the most obvious:
1. My drum kit in the background - this was given to me by my mum for Christmas and I can honestly say it was up there with my favourite present. Ever since seeing The Summer Set in November I've become obsessed with watching people play the drums. I told my mum I wanted a drum kit and she didn't fail, she bought me a desk size one. Im not good at playing one bit, but it was just a little present to make me laugh.
2. My eye shadows - oh my gosh, I am so in love with this palette. This is the BH cosmetics 120 colour palette 3rd edition (such a mouthful.) I did ask for this, for Christmas and I have such a bond with it. Sad, I know. But the pigmentation of these colours are amazing and there is SO many colours to choose from. From winter colours to summer colours. I was slightly disappointed with it as when it was posted, it hit the floor and a few of the colours were cracked, that was easily solved just by pressing them back down into their pans. Other than that I love it!!!
3. Phone case - below my eye shadows there is a blue phone case which my mum gave to me. It has the lyrics to "Crazy Girls" by Paramore on it, in the form of messages. Paramore is my all time favourite band and to add to my merch collection is always a good thing.
4. Lipstick- next to that on the right is my go to lipstick for the winter and that is the Rimmel lipstick from the Kate Moss range in the colour 107. Its a dark red/plum colour and it just goes so well with a nice red scarf in the winter. The only downside to it that it can come off quite easily in my opinion so I pair it with a lip coat, which burns like hell.
5. False nails- these nails were given to me by one of my best friend for a Christmas present and that is the elegant touch nails in the glitter collection called shimmer and shine. I wore these nails for Christmas as I usually get them professionally done but I didn't want to waste an opportunity to wear these gorgeous nails. Thank you Eve my darling x x x
6. Nail varnish - when my falsies have come to the end of their use, I've fell in love with painting my nails black. I'm never usually a fan of black nails on myself but I have been changed. Its a plain black nail varnish that I got in a nail set for Christmas from my auntie. It goes with everything I wear so its perfect.
7. Body butter - behind the nail products you can see a pink tub, that is soap and glorys righteous butter. It has been such a god send in December as my skin gets really dry and chapped so I applied this every night before bed and sometimes throughout the night and it made my skin amazingly soft. It was given to my by my bestfriend as she had SO many tubs of this, its unreal.
8 Conditioner - next is my kitoko advanced hair therapy conditioner. This is a conditioner made especially for dandruff/dry scalps. I made my hair feel so soft, me and my mum were sat playing with it for ages. It wasn't expensive at all, it was only 99p! It can be for men or women but it does smell like men's aftershave, which I'm okay with. I would highly recommend it.
9. Cleansing face wash - another addition to my skin care routine is this cleansing face foam. It comes from the same brand as my exfoliating face scrub "tea tree." I use this after I've exfoliated my face in the bath and in the morning before I put my makeup on, it really has made a difference to my spots.
10. Fan journal - This book was a Christmas present off my mum because it is Paramore and they are my life. But this book is just put together mainly from accounts that other fans have written about what paramore have done for them, or how they first found paramore. Its nice to look at how much one band can mean so much to one person and their stories behind it. This book is called "Paramore Decade 2004-2014" by Jeff Torkel. It is such a nice read.
11. Jewellery box - THE LAST PRODUCT. You are all probably grateful, I admit this was a long post. Anyway, this jewellery box was needed so much. I have so much jewellery but nowhere to keep it. so this box has been a life saver. on the inside it has different compartments for rings, necklaces and bracelets etc. It is just a fake leather bound box with a small love heart clasp on the front so it goes with the colour scheme of my room!

FINALLY, its the end. Sorry this post went on forever, but I had a lot of favourites from this month. Thanks for taking the time to read this and leave a comment what you would like to see next and/or what your favourites were this month. Love you all.

Ciao xo
