♡ Christmas/ January Haul 2016 | Lifestyle ♡

Even though Christmas was over a month a go I still want so show you a few of the presents I received and some odd items I bought! I was originally going to do this in video form BUT ended up not doing it due to getting ill and then becoming really busy. I've only ended up getting free time in the past week or so and didn't really feel like recording. For those who really want me to make videos, don't you worry as I am currently working on a Melanie Martinez make-up look and also am hoping to record an everyday make-up routine.

Before I go onto this haul, I just want to say that I am so grateful for everything I received. ♡

So from my grandparent I got some Studio Lighting, which is perfect for future videos and photos. My house is so rubbish when it comes to lighting so hopefully the quality of my videos will be decent. Along with that, I received the 30th Anniversary Creamy Mami Book, I found this at Hyper Japan and decided to put it away! The art in it is so beautiful, unfortunately I can't read it yet though aha.

From Robin I got the Chocolate Bon Bon Palette by Too Faced Cosmetics. As soon as this was announced it was added to my Wishlist. I absolutely love this palette, I can create so many looks with this palette, it has neutrals, random pops of colours and darker shades to create a smoky eye. Not only that but the colours are so pigmented and easy to blend and smell SO good! My favourite shades are 'Cashew Chew', 'Bordeaux' and 'Sprinkles'. I also love using 'Satin Sheets' as a highlight. 

My parents got me a few presents as well, including some of the Holographic Limited Edition Disney DVD's. These came out in 2014 and I sadly missed out on some of them, but was so happy to see that they re-released them in 2015!  My parents also surprised me with the White and Gold Skinny Dip Headphones. I didn't actually expect to get them, but my mum managed to pick up a pair. They're so pretty!

My mum never fails to spoil me with Soap & Glory products, I got two pots of 'The Righteous Butter', which I'm so pleased with as I use body butter everyday! I also got some of the 'Hand Maid' and 'Hand Food' as I always like to carry them in my bag and I was running out. The Supercat Liner is a nice surprise too, it's really easy to use and creates the perfect cat eye. ♡

I was lucky enough to receive two perfumes this year. Marc Jacobs perfumes are my favourite, so I couldn't resist Daisy Dream, it's such a soft but sweet scent and has the most beautiful packaging. I also got the Ariana Grande 'Ari' perfume, it's similar in that it's soft and sweet and has super adorable packaging. I really can't decide which is my favourite!

One of my favourite presents is the Thumper Plush, I have wanted him and Miss Bunny for ages to sit on my bed, so was so happy to get Thumper. I them managed to buy the Miss Bunny with money my auntie and uncle gave me for Christmas! They're too cute and look perfect on my bed. ♡

I also got some new pj's, slippers, money, clothes and LUSH products off of my parents, which I'm super grateful for. I then bought a few things, the first being this adorable playsuit from Topshop. I saw this on the mannequin and fell in love. It was actually a pain to try and get this, but managed to get it in a size 8. Apparently Gigi Hadid had worn this, which is why a lot of people were buying it. You can see her wearing it here, I don't really like the way she has styled it tbh, but each to their own. I hope to do a blogpost on this.

I didn't pick up a lot from the online sales, but managed to pick up these adorable Pink Bow Loafers from Asos. I had my eye on these prior to Christmas and was so happy they were in the sale. They look absolutely beautiful with the playsuit.

I also picked up a few pairs of heels from New Look, I always feel like New Look has the best heels, not in style but in how comfortable they are as well. The first pair I got I don't have a photo of on here, but you can see my New Years Eve outfit here. I bought both the playsuit from Topshop in the sale and the shoes from New Look. The other pairs I got were also in the sale, the baby blue ones, my mum actually spotted, they were only £6.00 and are absolutely adorable. The black ones were needed badly as my other ones killed my feet, I think they were £12.00?

I didn't buy much from the Victoria's Secret Sale, my size in bras is pretty much always sold out and I was too ill to push past the crowds to look for what I wanted. Instead I just got a few cute pairs of pants. I love VS underwear, they're so comfy and soft!

Before Christmas I pre-ordered the Life is Strange Limited Edition. I've already played the game with Robin but couldn't resist as it's now one of my favourite games and you get the artbook and soundtrack with it, so that's a bonus. I really want to Cosplay Max ngl

One of the most recent items I treated myself to was the Zoeva Rose Golden Luxury Vol 2 Set. I absolutely love these and really want to get more! 

Thankyou so much for reading, I know this post wasn't that long, but I hope to update soon with some different content soon. Also don't hesitate in requesting any posts or videos you'd like to see.

Love,
