A few of my favourite christmas presents xo

I hope you all had a very merry Christmas and enjoyed spending it with your family.

1)I would like to point out this is not all my presents, I was very lucky this year and got a lot of lovely presents however I am only showing the presents, I think appropriate as some are more personal and I got so many this year that if I did show you guys all of them we would be here till next year. I was very lucky this year and I am ever so grateful. 2)I am not in anyway shape or form trying to show off, I am simply sharing with you all what I got for Christmas.

 

So lets start off with my main present of my dad which was a new hp laptop, I was so excited when I opened this as I have been wanting a new laptop for ages and this year my dad got me one. I was so greatful when I got this as I know laptops are not cheap and to be honest  I wasn't expecting to get one. I was so shocked and have become addicted to my laptop ever since I got it.

My main present of my mum was these beautiful uggs and omg they are so warm and comfy,  I wore these when I went to London with my dad and we were walking all day and thanks to these my feet didn't start to ache. Yes they are real uggs, these are so easy to pair with any outfit for a casual laidback look.

 My next present of my mum was actually a large dior makeup set- I have decided not to show you all of it as it just came with general stuff; foundation, lipstick, brushes ect. However this blusher is gorgeous and I have been wearing it everyday, the colour is the most beautiful combo I have ever seen.  I am obsessed with this and when I opened it I like freaked out. Also as its in the picture I might aswell include my blush brush by Samantha chapman as its super soft and helps to apply my blusher that little bit easier.

Its super light and I just overall love her brushes.

Yay I finally have the real technique eye brushes. I have been wanting them for so so so long! When I saw the packaging of these I died I was so happy and couldn't believe my mum bought them for me. I have used these everyday so far and I can safely say I am inlove.

My mum ever so kindly bought me this gorgeous Thomas sabo charm bracelet and I have been wearing it since Christmas morning- obviously taking it off  at night and when in the bath. I was so surprised to get this as I didn't ask for this and I thought it was so thoughtful and I love my mum so much.

The next thing I have don't have a picture for but my dad bought me and my sister tickets to see little mix; as my sister loves them, He also bought us tickets to see the thriller show in London in January. I am super excited for both of them, even though I am not Little mix's biggest fan but I do like some of their songs, so that'll be fun:D

 I am addicted to baths incase you didn't already know and my mum bought me the soap and glory lime set. And omg the body butter smells like cheesecake and I can honestly say  I am addicted to the scent of this set already. I have been using this bath set all the time lately.

I also got another soap and glory set called the relax station but I won't show you it as its similar to this just different scents.

As I was saying I am addicted to baths, and that means lush too. My step sister Ellis bought me this really cute little bath set containing the snowman bath ballistic and the cinders bath bomb. They both smell amazing and I cant wait to use them as I have heard great reviews on them. I also got a whole load of other bath bombs but I have used a few already so I wont show you them.

OMGOMG I was honestly too excited about this present I have been wanting to watch this film in like forever and I finally have I watched it on boxing day night and it was super amazing. I cant explain the excitement I felt when my mum gave me this film as I love the book and now the film too!!! I am so happy about this gift omg.

 

My mum very kindly bought me this book which I have been wanting to read for ages and I started reading it on Christmas night and I am already really loving it. I have heard so many good reviews so I hope it stays as good as it has been so far.

 

 

 

Who doesn't get a onesie for Christmas, I love this one as its super cosy and the hood is really woolly. This onesie is based on me to you bears which me and my mum are obsessed with and this is adorable. This is from new look I am not sure for how much but you may be able to get it in the sales.

 

Lastly the present I was most excited about; my hair extensions. I was shaking when I saw them as I have horrid short hair and when I wear I feel so happy because I would kill for naturally long hair, but instead I got hair extensions so I am equally as happy eeek! I also got the jumper im wearing for Christmas and its super cosy and all that jazz.

 

 

I also got a whole load of chocolate but I am sure you guys know what chocolate looks like.

 

This is not everything I got for Christmas however I thought these were the most appropriate gifts to show you.

Thank you for reading todays blog post. I know I got so much this year and I was very grateful and I know how lucky I am I was definitely no way trying to brag but this was requested by some of you so I did it. I was not going to as I was not sure about your reaction's but I thought I would give it a go anyway. I did not expect this much and can I just say a massive thank you to everyone who got me a present or gave me a voucher or a card or anything it really means a lot and you didn't have too.

 

I also redecorated my blog so I hope you all like it and enjoy reading this, let me know what you got for Christmas as I love hearing what people got.

 

Bye xo

Gift guide for her xo

          MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

 

I am aware that's it is not actually Christmas day because trust me if it was I would have a lot more excitement in me. 5days oh my!  Who's excited?!

Hope your all enjoying your Christmas holidays so far, I am going to be as lazy as possible over the next two weeks xo

 

Todays post is about christmas gifts suitable for a girl; I would do for a boy aswell but its hard enough for me to buy for girls and I ohnistly don't know what boys like for Christmas.

So if you are like me and never know what to buy for a girl friend then keep reading.

 

 

 

Gift 1;

I personally like to buy my friends nail polish as I think it's easy and quite ohnistly if you go for barry m gelly polishes thats even better because they are amazing and have a wonderful wide range of colours to choose from.

You do have to be careful on what colors you buy as you don't want to get that wrong, so do a bit of spying and see which colours they really like and that they don't have.

 

 Gift 2;

 

My next gift idea would be an impulse collection as they are really cute and there are loads and loads of scents to choose from. They are also not overly expensive and I ohnistly believe  that any girl would love this gift.

 

 

 Gift 3;
What girl doesn't enjoy bath bombs?
Bath bombs are the perfect gift for girls because what girl ohnistly doesn't enjoy a long relaxing bath with a lovely smelling lush bomb.
Bath bombs can be tricky if the person you are buying for is fussy with smells and likes some sweet scents but then not all of them ect.
So be careful and one tip would be to go out with them and watch out for things they say they like and go back and buy it for them another day before somone else does.

Gift 4;
So this is the last gift I'm gonna show you all.
As you can see its a lipstick. It doesn't have to be particularly be this shade. However I do reccomend the Rimmel London Kate Moss lipsticks; they glide on so easily and I have not yet met a girl who does not like these lipsticks.
They last ages and are not too expensive at all.


Thankyou so much for reading my blog post today, I can't explain how much it means to me.
I hope this has helped you with gift ideas for her.

If you have any other blog ideas either comment them on my instagram you can leave a comment on here; by the way to comment on my blog you must have a gmail account.

Count-down to Christmasss! xo

                        COUNT-DOWN CHRISTMASSS!

Hey everyone, its nearly Christmasss!!! :). Today I am going to do a blogpost on the count-down to christmas. Where basically I show you guys all the decorations my family and I put up at Christmas ect..

 

 

 

First of all lets start with my Christmas tree, my Christmas tree is 7ft and 6inches so my mum has to help me or my sister  place the fairy on top as it is insanely tall as you can imagine . Decorating my Christmas tree is something me my mum and my younger sister all do together, it uset to be my dad included as well but now he decorates his own tree with girlfriend. Decorating our tree is always quite amusing because somebody always ends up in a state of mess.

 

 

 

This year we decided to go for more simple lights on the outside of our house, purely because we have decorated our house up a little bit more than usual. These lights are really cute because they shine on and off slowly and they make everything look that little bit cuter and more christmasy especially when its quite dark outside.

 

 

 

                   On the outisde of our front door this year we put up a christmasy reef, I particulary like this one becuase of the penguins and the presents. I just think it's really cute and stands out well. I also think it's very unique and different from your traditional Cristmas reef that most people tend to put up around this time of year.

 

 

So me and my sister have the coolest advent calendars, there basically buntings but pockets so instead of just getting chocolate everyday we sometimes get a little present in our advent calenders, my one is the the top one as its tartan and I have been loving tartan lately. I rthink these are  a really good idea as you can use them over many years and can then be passewd down once you don't use it anymore.

 

 

Around Christmas me and my mum really start wanting to put out more candles to give it more of a winter feeling. This year we found these Christmas Spice candles and they smell amazing. I really want one for my room  but I am not trusted with candles in my room for safety reasons. These are from Sainsbury incase you are interested, I don't know the price though.

 

 

FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS FILMS EVER.

 

I  love the home alome collection so much. I watch these all year round and I always will, they make me laugh and smile so much. Home alone one is by far the best, as I don't like the way the boy changes in number 4!.  

I always watch these on Christmas eve, which doesn't help as I end up getting even more excited but oh well :D

 

 

Thankyou so much for reading this blogpost. I did have a lot more pictures to show you and write about but I don't want to bore you, I might do a part 2 to this post but I am not sure.

 

 

Thankyouu xo

My sizzles and fizzles.

My sizzles and fizzles.

 

Hey everyone, so this blog post is going to be about my sizzles and fizzles. If you don't know what this this is then let me explain; it is basically all the products or items I have been using over a period of time and the ones that I have liked and haven't liked.

 

 

 

So my first fizzle is this simple moisturiser. I uset to quite like it however I soon realised that it was actually making me break out a lot more than I usually do.  I was quite dissapointed as I had heard a lot about this moisturiser and I reccomend trying it before you get your hopes up and assume it to be amazing. It was only two pounds so it was not very expenisve therefore it was not a waste of money really.

This is A FIZZLE!

 

 Sizzle! Obviously my sweetie pie shower jelly by lush is a sizzle. This stuff smells gorgeous me and my friend maddie (instagram @maddiearmstrongx ) both think it smells like blackcurrant fruit shoots! It really does. However it is very slippery and once you have dropped it in your bath its a nightmare to get back. I can spend hours on end in the bath playing with this shower jelly. You can freeze it so it turns into soap or put it in the fridge so its cool.

This is deffintely A SIZZLE.

 

 

My next sizzle is my favourite fluffy jamjams. They are blue and spotty and insanely comfy. The second I get in from school I throw these on and literally live on instagram and tumblr till I fall asleep. These are super warm which is good because its absolutely freezing in England. I love the fact that they have cuffed bottoms so I do not end up with ankle swingers. 

This is A SIZZLE!

 

:(. This is my last fizzle, This mascara has really let me down its gone all clumpy all of a sudden although its quite new. It hasn't dried out or anything. It is meant to be waterproof but now even if my eye waters a tiny bit I end up looking like I have been crying. I am very dissapointed and will not be purchasing this again.

This is a FIZZLE.

 

 

So that's all my sizzles and fizzles for this blog. This is a new idea I came up with and hopefully you all liked it if you did then give me instagram picture  a like or if you are with gmail then it would mean a lot if you shared this blogpost.

 

Thankyou so much for reading. Byeee xo

October favourites xo

 My October Favourites

 

 

Hey everyone, I am sorry that this blog post is a little bit late but it was half term and I was away up north with my mums side of the family we all had an amazing time.

I know that it is November but I wanted to share with you guys  all the things I was loving in October.

 

 

Let's just all take a moment to realise how fluffy this jumper is. This is the fluffiest and warmest pajama jumper I own. It's got a pocket on the front so you can walk around with your phone and not worry about dropping it if you are clumsy like me.

This is actually from sainsburys for £12.00 I am not sure if they still have it in stock they should do. This is amazing for lazy days and it deffintely keeps you warm! I have been wearing this non-stop.

 

 

 

Yes, I couldn't believe it when my nana gave me this. It's the cutest bath bomb ever. You drop it in your bath and this little duck floats around and dissolves away making your bath bubbly and fun. I have used a few of these already, I have two blue ones and two yellow ones left as I have used up all the pink ones because they smell like strawberries :). I need to find out where my nana got these otherwise I will be very upset when they all run out :( .

 

 

How beautiful is this shade of lipstick?. This is my absolute favourite autumn winter shade of lipstick; its shade 107 from the kate moss velvet matt rimmel london collection. It lasts all day and is deffintely worth the money. I deffintely recommed this colour if your into more darker shades.

 

 

 

This month my favourite scent has been the glow jlo perfume. It's really had to describe the scent as it's not what I would usually go for. I went to stay round my aunty leslies and she asked me if i like it and I was like oh yeah that actually really does smell nice and she was kind enough to give it to me! It just goes to show that sometimes venturing out of your comfort zone does mean that you might find something you like as I did.

 

So the last thing I hav to show you all is this face mask. Wow. I promise you this works miracles. I suffer with really bad spots but after using this face mask a couple of times my pores have really cleared up and I must admit I have seen a real difference. Not just with this face mask but with a couple of other face creams to help aswell. However since using this I have noticed a biger difference.

 

 

 

Me and my beautiful aunties and cousins. I just though I would post this picture up here because they all mean the world to me and in that half term we had such an amazing time together. This was on the Tuesday when we all went out for a meal and spent time together for the first time in 3 years, the amount of times I just looked around and smiled because i was so happy to be sat round the table with my family. Leaving was the hardest part I actually cried on the train this lot mean the world to me xo

 

 

Thankyou so much for reading, what would you guys like to see a blog post on next let me know on my instagram; @kieramurrellxo

Reviews on my current purchases.

                           Hey everyone xo

So before we begin I just want to say a massive thank you if you read my blog regularly as I am now getting up to a thousand blog posts a day. It means so much thank you !

             Moving on today  I am going to  be reviewing my 2 kate moss Rimmel London lipsticks and my                     mua undress me too palette. 

Mua undress me too; 

 

So I'm going to start with my mua pallet. This pallet is nothing worth rushing out to get. I personally bought it as I was in need of some new neutral eye shadows and this was only four pound. The shades in this pallet are; naked, devotion, shy, fiery, lavish, dreamy(top row in order)

Tranquil, exposed, reveal, wink, obsessed and corrupt(bottom row in order)

They are quite pigmented after a a couple of layers. They blend ever so nicely, you can really make this pallet casual or more dressed up and formal if you i.e use the gold metalic shades or the more matt ones.

If you have your own brush then I highly recommend using it as the brush the pallet comes with is quite hard and can be quite painful when applying the eyeshadow.  Overall this pallet is average and is okay for the price you pay. 

Kate Moss Rimmel London; 107

I absolutely love this lipstick. It's amazing, this particular lipstick is by Rimmel its one of Kate Moss velvet matt lipsticks in shade 107. This colour is a beautiful autumn winter red. It really does slide on so easlily and it lasts all day without smudging if you leave it be. I won't lie obviously if you have a drink of wipe your mouth with the back of your hand then obviously it will smudge and come away. If you were going to have a drink then it may be a good idea to drink through a straw as you will not lose as much lipstick. These are fairy cheap I payed £5.48 for mine which is not really on the expensive side of make up. 

 

 

Here is a picture of the lipstick down to the flash it means that the colour does not show up as much as it does in real life but it will do xo

Hopefully you all enjoyed my blog post thank you all again for the 1000 views xox
