Sunday Pamper

This is a sad post to write as it is my last christmas pamper as the festive season comes to a close and the back to school/work blues kick in (cries a bit). Anyway lets enjoy the last moments of it! So I ran myself a bath, lit the christmas candles and gathered together some of my bath time favourites.

Lush - Father Christmas bath bomb

This bath bomb smells basically of christmas, it is at first a sherbet like scent and then as it diffuses into the air it is like christmas spice! It also turned my bath water green with a white fluffy layer of foam like bubbles on top! Amazing. 

Candles - Yankee Candle - Sugared apple and Christmas eve

I love burning these two together, the sweetness of Sugared apple and the rich spice of Christmas eve combine so nicely! Mmm! I got so many christmas yankee candle samplers this year that I haven't managed to get through them all. So I guess I am going to have to save them until next Christmas now. 

Clinique - Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel

My favourite face moisturizer, use it every day! Leaves my skin lovely and smooth.

Liz Earle - Instat boost Skin Tonic

Liz Earle - Cleanse and Tonic 

This Liz Earle cleansing duo is incredible! This is what I use to take my make up off or, like tonight, I sometimes just use it to freshen up my skin. I love it! 

Viktor & Rolf - Flowerbomb body lotion

The smell of this body lotion is lovely, very perfume like and girly. My skin is now feeling super smooth.

Lush - Hot Toddy shower gel

This christmas shower gel smells of christmas spices. It is bright red with glitter in! I have been using the famous Snow Fairy shower gel all christmas so I have quite a lot of Hot Toddy left. Hopefully it will keep for next Christmas. 

Heres how the bath bomb went...

 

  

Did you have a christmas pamper routine? What's your favourite lush bath bomb?

Now I feel like Christmas is officially over. Back to school on Tuesday (cries a lot).

Thank you for reading

Beauty products I got for Christmas

Hello again everyone! It is now boxing day and I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! I am currently sat with my feet up, full of turkey, in my dressing gown, watching the boxing day football. Ahhhh, lovely. I was blessed with some gorgeous beauty products this year that I would love to share with you. I will be trying them all out and writing some reviews in the next few weeks. But for now, heres a preview of the things you will be reading about on georgiamaybeauty.com in the near future. So grab a hot chocolate, get comfy and read on!

(DISCLAIMER: I am not trying to brag or show off by this, my family and friends are aware I have started this blog so thought it would be nice to get me things I can write about for christmas.) 

So this is some of the make up I got! Including Nars virtual Domination pallete, Naked on the run and Younique Moodstruck 3D Fibre lashes. Now if you are like me and get extremely excited about new make up then I am sure you can understand my feelings about all of this! 

A lot of the products I got this christmas are new to me and I have never tried before. What I am most excited to try is the Mascara by Younique, if you have tried this mascara or know anything about it then let me know in the comments below. It claims to provide a 300% increase in volume and thickness while still looking natural. The mascaras come in a gorgeous case and includes a natural fibers wand and a setting gel. I am going to use it for the first time tonight so follow my twitter (@georgiamayblogs) to see what my first impressions are!

SO MANY PALETTES!

I received the Naked palette by Urban Decay from my best friend as she knows how much I LOVE Naked 2. The colours look amazing as they range from light to dark, glittery to matte and I am very excited to try them out. 

From my parents I got Naked on the run by Urban Decay. This palette is intended for traveling and applying make up on the go. It has everything you need to look amazing 'on the run'. It includes a bronzer, blush, 5 new eye shadow shades, a Naked lip gloss, Perversion mascara and the 24/7 eye liner pencil in the colour Stag. I love the design of this palette and the large mirror. I have wanted this from the moment it came out so I am extremely looking forward to using it.

Now, onto the Nars Virtual Domination cheek palette. Straight away I am going to say, THIS LOOKS INCREDIBLE!!! It includes a bronzer, blushes and a highlighter. Nars are most famous for their amazing Laguna bronzer and bright blushes, of which I have never tried before. The shades included are Miss liberty highlighting blush, Deep Throat blush, Lauguna bronzing powder, Sex Fantasy blush and Final Cut blush. 

The next 2 palettes are the Sleek face contour kit and the Too Faced Beauty Wishes & Sweet Kisses palette. These both look stunning also! I love how compact the Sleek palette is as it will fit nicely in my make up bag. I have heard a lot of great things about it. The Too Faced palette comes in a very cute tin box and is all sparkly inside! It includes a 3 eye shadows from the Chocolate Bar Eye Shadow collection, Naked Dolly La Creme Lip Gloss, Chocolate Soleil bronzer and Snow bunny bronzer. So quite a lot of products there! 

SKIN CARE!!

I am so excited about this bundle of skin care! The Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush along with the 3 step skin type 3 set. I have been using the 3 step skin care for about a month now and the differnce in my skin is incredible. It is so soft and looks more radiant and awake than it used too. The oiliness has been reduced as well which means my make up stays on my face without moving about. If you have not tried this skin care yet then I strongly suggest you give it a go. I have used the Sonic system brush twice so far and I must admit that the thing I love most about it is how much fun it is haha. I will be blogging about the results of it in the next month. 

I received this lovely Liz Earle skin care from my friend and fellow beauty blogger Katie! (Be sure to check out her blog www.katiejaneonline.com). I have wanted to try some Liz Earle products for a while, so some how she read my mind! I got the Cleanse and Polish and the Instant Boost Skin Tonic. They are both meant to work together to leave your skin smooth, radiant looking and clean. I will be blogging the results soon! 

So that is what I got this christmas! Did you get an of the same things? Or have you tried any of these products? Please let me know as I am nosey like that. I want to say a huge thank you to all my family and friends for these gorgeous presents, I am extremely grateful! Thank you for reading.

Merry Christmas

Hello everybody, as if it is christmas tomorrow! I hope you all have had a lovely lead up to christmas and are ready for tomorrow. I am hoping to post lots of new blogs over the christmas period as I will have a lot of time to sit and write. As balancing the planning and writing out with all my school work is proving difficult.

But on the plus side, so far in the holidays I have planned plenty of posts and have a good schedule now!

Thank you for everyones nice comments and help in these last few months and thank you to everyone who reads my posts. I hope you all have a lovely christmas and hope santa brings you everything you want!

Last minute christmas gift ideas!

Hello everybody, firstly I know I haven't blogged in a while but I have been super busy lately! Also I have changed my URL and I am now georgiamaybeauty.com which I am really excited about! Anyway, I thought it may be useful for those of you that are stuck on what gifts to buy for people this christmas if I did a last minute gift ideas post!

Lipstick
Lipsticks are always a good shout for any type of person. Especially a MAC lipstick! Some of my favourite colours to wear around this time of year are Ruby Woo, Media and Party line. Reds and Berry shades are a must at christmas time so would make a great quick present!

Lip balms
If you wanted to add an extra present to go with the lipstick you could go for a lip balm or gloss. My favourite lip balm at the moment is bene balm by benefit. It is so soft and keeps my lips from going all dry and horrible. A lipstick and a lip balm go really well together as a gift, especially if you get ones of similar colour!

Candles
Now, who doesn't love a festive scent in their house at christmas? Yankee Candle have so many amazing christmassy smells to choose from. My favourites are Christmas Garland and Candy cane lane. You honestly could not find a more festive smell. As I have previously mentioned, I prefer the sampler sized candles as I like to change scents quite often so these are perfect! At the moment Yankee Candle are doing amazing gift sets of christmas sampler candles. I have already recieved one as a gift off my friend and they are just so cute. Make the perfect present!

Perfume
Perfumes are always a good gift as every girl loves to smell nice. Lots of department stores such as Fenwicks and Debenhams have so many perfume gift sets of offer at the moment that come with the body lotion and cosmetic bags. If you are thinking of a good present to buy for your mum then I recommend Chanel No.5 perfume. This perfume is so iconic and sophisticated that I am sure that anyone who receives this would feel so special. It is definitely a scent for older women rather than teens or people in their 20s as it is quite a mature scent, but is so beautiful at the same time.

Benefit They're Real liner
This eye liner is a life saver. If you know someone who loves make up and struggles with eye liner then this is a perfect gift! It is so easy to apply and creates a smooth straight flick. I use it almost every day and have repurchased many times. This would be a brilliant present for a teenager as benefit is such a popular make up brand amongst young people especially.

Chanel Lipstick
This is a really iconic, sophisticated gift for someone really special! I got my best friend one this year from the Chanel Holiday collection. A Chanel lipstick is just a symbol of beauty and even though it is a small gift it is very special. The shade I am loving at the moment is Pirate, a bright red, perfect for this time of year.

Real Techniques brushes
You may have read my review I did on these brushes a few months ago and I can honestly say that my love for them is still growing! They do sets of 4 different types of brushes that would make a great present or stocking filler. Also the single brushes are always on 3 for 2 in Boots and they are also on buy one get one half price in superdrug. They are so affordable and what every pro make up artist is using at the moment. So if you know someone who loves make up then these brushes would be a perfect addition to their beauty collection.

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you may have found this helpful. I am looking forward to blogging lots after christmas! If you were wondering, the mistletoe christmas lights are from Next and the cute robin is from M&S. What would your ideal present this year be? Let me know in the comments.

How to get in the festive mood

Halloween and bonfire night are over, which means it is acceptable to begin getting excited for Christmas. It is time to start feeling christmassy! I love this time of year because there are so many festive goodies to get your hands on, from lush bath melts to Starbucks gingerbread lattes. So I am going to share with you how I plan to get in the christmas spirit early this year!

LUSH
Now we have to start with LUSH. I spend all year getting excited for LUSH to bring out their christmas collection as they just smell of christmas and happiness! I picked up (from top to bottom in picture) Holly Go Lightly (bubble bar), Snow Angel (bath melt) and Melting Snowman (bath melt). Melting Snowman has a cocoa butter sent which is a smell I assosiate with relaxing. This bath melt also does not have any glitter so I won't need to clean the bath afterwards! With this bath melt you simply drop it into the bath and is will make the water creamy and will moisturize your skin. I plan to use this one after coming from the football match when I will be freezing cold! If you want something that smells of pure christmas time then Holly Go Lightly bubble bar is for you. It has a christmas-spice sent and is covered in glitter. They could not have made a more festive product if they tried! You crumble this one under the tap and it will create bubbles. Snow Angel is another cocoa butter bath melt, but this one has glitter on (great, more bath cleaning). What convinced me to buy this one was its claim to "dissolve into a shimmering blanket of snow" and "release a magical christmas scene". Now who doesn't want a magical christmas scene in their bath!? So I can't wait to use this one!

NAILS
I have chosen 'The thrill of brazil' by OPI for this post as it is one of my all time favourite shades and even though it is not in a christmas collection, I still think that the bright electric red colour is very festive. I also think glitter nail varnish is fun for this time of year, however it is not at all fun to remove!

THE CHRISTMAS ISSUE
I am signed up to many seasonal fashion guides and the Christmas ones are always my favourite! So sign yourself up to a few and relax with a hot chocolate and have a read. You get to know what this seasons must haves are and get in the cosy christmas spirit while doing so. A win win!

CANDLES
I love candles, especially at this time of year. I often opt for yankee candles, however unless I absolutely love a scent I always buy the small sampler ones (like in the photo) or the small jars as I like to mix up my rooms scent and get bored of the same one quite quickly! I have gone for Black Cherry for this time of year as I think it is a good representation of the change from Autumn to Winter. I think my next one is going to be Mistletoe! Having your house or bedroom smelling of christmas is a good place to start when trying to get into the festive spirit.

LIPS
Red is always a good colour for christmas obviously! So I am going to suggest Ruby Woo (matte) and Damn Glamorous (matte), both by MAC. Ruby Woo is one of my favourites out of all my red lipsticks. It really is stunning with a simple cat eye. Damn Glamorous has more of a pinky tone to it and I find that it goes really will with the Lipglass Viva La Glam Rihanna.  I think it is important to have Matte lipsticks at this time of year as it is party season and you don't want to have the trouble of reapplying every 10 minutes. If you want to add a bit off glitter and shine to the matte lips I suggest Lipglass Viva glam Rihanna. This is such a lovely pinky read glitter gloss which is sure to sparkle! Perfect for any christmassy occasion.

So I hope this gives you some ideas on how to get into that christmas spirit! Tweet me and let me know about some of your favourite christmas products @georgiamayblogs
