Christmas Wish List 2014; ♥❅

Hey guys!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!!
I am finally all wrapped and ready to enjoy christmas day tomorrow!
As I sit and type this post I am curled up in bed with my dog and a hot chocolate! My little brother is asleep and everything is quiet in the house.

My Christmas Wish List this year is pretty small compared to other years. I pretty much have everything I could need or want and have honestly found it a struggle to write a list to Santa this year!

Girl Online - Zoe Sugg (Book)

The Pointless Book - Alfie Dyes (Book)

Zoella - Blissful Mist - Zoe Sugg (Fragrance)

Four - One Direction (CD)

Matte Apocalypse - Rimmel (Lip Cream)

Undress Your Skin Highlighter - MUA (Face Product)

Clear 24 lipstick holder - eBay (Storage)

Cherries in the Snow - Revlon (Lipstick)

Mr Frosty - Ice/Slushy Machine (Toy)

Of course lipsticks and lip products have made their way onto my list as well as a fragrance and the new one direction album but there is one thing on my list in which I never thought in a million years my 19 year old self would be asking for. Mr Frosty. If you don't know what a Mr Frosty is, it is an ice machine which crushes your ice and you then you add syrup to make an ice lolly which you can freeze or a slush which you can then drink. I have a penguin version of this when I was little and must have lost it while moving from one house to another.

Honestly to me the presents aren't that important and I know many people say that but I truly mean it.

I love spending time with my mom, dad and brother! Christmas morning is one of the best times of the year. I love seeing my brothers face when he opens a present and seeing my mom and dads reaction to what i have brought them that year as a thank you for putting up with me that year and helping me out when I have needed them!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas day and enjoy spending time with your families.

If you don't celebrate Christmas i hope you have a wonderful day whatever you may be doing!
I wont be posting this Sunday because we will be out and about visiting family and for the most of it I will be playing with all the goodies Santa has brought me! Haha!

MERRY CHRISTMAS BEAUTIES!!!

Meeting Union J ♥

Hey guys!
So yesterday myself and Jess stood in a line in the cold for nearly 3 hours to meet Union J and get them to sign their latest album!
Although it was freezing cold and I couldn't feel my toes it was all worth it in the end! 
As we walked towards the table where they were they were all smiling and honestly looks so happy to be there in that moment with everyone which was so adorable! As I walked up to the table the first person I met was Josh!
Josh looked at me a state of shock and i honestly wondered what I had done! He then carried on to tell me hair was amazing and he needed to take a picture of it (My hair is bright bright purple with random bits of blue and pink in it at the moment) He took out his phone and took pictures of me and my hair haha!
I then carried on down the line next was JJ
He wished me a merry christmas and was smiling from ear to ear!
Next was George who I didn't get to speak to because we were being told to move down the line quicker and he also moved when I tried to take a picture with him but I didn't really mind!
Last but no least was the wonderful Jaymi!
He is so cute and asked how I was and we had the smallest conversation ever but it was so cute! He also wished me a merry christmas before handing me my CD and me moving to the side to wait for Jess!

Jess had made some beautiful cupcakes for all 4 of them. Ill insert a picture at the end of the post as well as the pictures I took with each other boys!
It was honestly one of the best Saturday nights of my life!

Hope you guys are okay!
Have you met anyone famous recently?

Christmas Preparation! ♥❅

Hey guys!
It is 1 week and 1 day until christmas! ARE YOU EXCITED?!
I feel like I am behind on so many things this year!
I had brought all my presents for everyone at the beginning of the month but just needed to get little bits and bobs to add as "stocking fillers".
Last year every time I purchased a present I would wrap it up and place it in the select pile for that person. This year however I haven't done that! They are all laid out on my bedroom floor or in bags still not wrapped!
I've spent most of this week and college but tomorrow I finish until the 6th January! I'm super excited to have some time off and not have to travel for an hour plus to get there!

Hopefully *Fingers crossed* by christmas eve eve (Tuesday 23rd) everything will be wrapped and handed out so I can then chill and be ready for the big day!
Also in the past week I have watched ELF about 5 times and have drank hot chocolate every single night before bed.
I love this time of year, I just wish it wasn't so cold as it is here in England.

I hope you are all in the christmas spirit and have having a wonderful time with family and loved ones!

Urban Decay Naked Basics: Real vs Fake. ♥

Hey guys!
Today's post is going to be about the Naked Basics Palette.
A couple of months ago I was gifted the Naked Basics from my mom on the way back from her trip to Spain.
I had been randomly looking on eBay as you do and a Naked Basics Palette came up which was ending soon. I've always wanted to do one of these comparison posts so today is the day i can finally do one! YEAH!
The Original Naked Basics retails for £22.00 on the official Urban Decay website and the fake i brought cost me £2.10 (on auction) I believe.

So let's look at them side by side.
Can you guess which one is the fake?

Left is the Original

Right is the fake

Okay! So the first picture of the outer packing you can see the the right one has more of a brown tint than the original one which is more of a golden colour. There are also small little details like the "B" in Basics being bolder on the fake one than the real one.

I have also found that the fake one tends to get more messy and scratch easily than the original as it is made of a a cheaper material.

If we take a look at the second picture we can see the inside of the palette. As you can see the names underneath the shadows have also changed. This will have been done for copyright allegations.

The colours in the pan are pretty much identical as you can see.

The only colour which does look different just from looking at the palette is "Faint". You can also see from the pictures that i have a couple of chips and scraps on it and that is due to the products in the pans which i will explain and you will see why when i show you the following pictures.

Okay so lets get on with the colours!
On each swatch the real Naked basics shadow is on the left and the sake is on the right

The first colour is "Faint" vs. "Half Baked"

As you can see "Half Baked" has a few more metallic finish that "Faint" as well as it being more white than "Faint" which has more of a cream base.

They are both however both beautiful colours and are so similar it is insane!

The next colour is "Foxy" vs. "Booty Call"

Both of these eye shadows are very powdery but "Foxy" does have more pigment than "Booty Call". They are pretty much the same colour, it is just a shame about the pigmentation of the fake shadow.

The next colour is "Walk of Shame" vs. "Chopper"


For some reason these shades didn't want to show up on my skin. As we can see from the picture above "Walk of Shame" is very soft and creamy compared to "Chopper" which is very powdery and has a lot of fall out. They are pretty much the same colours but like the shadows before the pigment is a let down.

The next colour is "Naked 2" vs. "YDK"

As we can see from the swatches "Naked 2" is a chocolate milk shade and "YDK" has more of a red tint to it. They is possibly the only one out of the whole fake palette which doesn't resemble the real one. The pigmentation on this colour from the fake palette isn't that bad and doesn't cause major fall out.

The next colour is "Faint" vs. "Busted"

From the picture we can see that "Faint" is a dark brown and has better pigmentation than "Busted". However this is one of my favourite colours from the fake palette. It is a good transition shade when creating a dark smokey eye.

The last shade is "Crave" vs. "Verve"

Both of these black shadows are rather fantastic, I have purchased worse single black shadows in the past from various brands. Both of these need building up. "Crave" is a bit more pigmented than "Verve". They both have the same amount of fall out but "Crave" is still the better shadow.

So all together you can see the different between each shadow and how to spot a real and a fake palette. You do get what you pay for and even though the fake palette isn't bad and the price was literally nothing i would still rather by the real one and know I have 6 well pigmented shadows to work with.

What do you guys think?

I hope you liked this blog post. I thought it would be something different to break up the festive celebration posts haha!

Happy Sunday!

Have a good day/night where ever you are in the world

Favourite Festive Films! ♥❅

Hey guys!
So my last post was my Favourite Festive Album and this post is going to be my Favourite Festive Films as you can tell by the title!

I have a list of so many christmas films I still have to watch but from the ones I have seen these of my favourites!

#1 - ELF

If you have never seen this film you are seriously missing out!

I love this film so much and you know its christmas when I whip the DVD out and put it on the side of the DVD player down stairs!

Me and my brother literally watch this film every single week during December, we can be quoting the film back and forth from each other all the time!

#2 - The Polar Express

This film is what me and my family class as our "Christmas EVE film". Every single year without fail we have watched this film on christmas eve before going to bed. It is an animated film and the story behind it so cute and christmas-y it is beautiful!

What is your favourite Christmas film?

Only 15 sleeps until Christmas!

I've been finding it a real struggle this year to get into that wonderful christmas spirit. I'm not sure what it is but it doesn't feel very christmasy.

All day today I have listened to nothing but christmas songs and it had been splendid! The one album I have been replaying is
