Christmas & New Year

Christmas is just under two weeks away and I couldn't be more excited! I love Christmas time! Being with your loved ones, movies on tv, the food, the alcohol, the laughs, the music and the rest! One of my favourite times in the year. 
I honestly cannot believe how fast 2013 flew by. To be honest it doesn't really feel too much like Christmas right now but I am not complaining! I am looking forward to getting some well deserved time off work and to relax! 

I have nearly finished all my Christmas shopping which is shocking as normally I am very last minute and oh so disorganised lol. However this year appears to be so much better in terms of my planning! New Years eve will soon creep up on us though and I haven't even got any plans as of yet. Need to start planning as soon as. I am looking forward to 2014. 

My plans for 2014 are:
1. To save more - I am addicted to spending. I need to cut down on shopping as I cannot resist be it in store on online lol! I am addicted!!!
2. To get my own place - I have been hoping to move out for a while now so 2014 is for sure the year to make this happen.
3. Travel to at least 3 places - I have a few breaks I would love to go on next year. Back to one of my home countries Italy, visit Amsterdam and then a nice two week summer holiday ;)
4. Make more time for my friends and family - work keeps me so busy these days I honestly feel as if I no longer have a social life, so seeing friends and those I care about more than I do now is defiantly a must for me!

How are you spending Christmas this year? What are your plans for 2014?

So Rihanna has brought out four fragrances now, all very different from eachother. The one that I am OBSESSED with is her third fragrance, Nude. 

This fragrance is floral yet fruity with a hint of vanilla (one of my fave scents). Suitable for the day and evening, I can't get enough of it!

Get it at its cheapest price on my fave site allbeauty.com

Benefit "They're Real!" Mascara

I am a huge fan of Benefit cosmetics so I could go on and on about this product but I will try to keep it short and sweet. I LOVE this mascara!

My eyelashes appear longer and fuller and covering corner lashes is made easier with this mascaras specially designed brush. No more eye poking dolls!

This is the UK's no1 best selling mascara - what more can I say!

Get yours here and enjoy lovely long lashes.

LUSH - Dream Cream Hand and Body Lotion

This cold winter weather does nothing for our skin does it? My skin gets very dry and is thirsty for some moisture and goodness. This little tub of heaven does the trick completely. With ingredients including oat milk, rose water, olive oil, cocoa butter, lavender oil, tea tree oil.....the list goes on, this is the best moisturiser by far leaving my skin smooth, moisturised and smelling amazing.

This is suitable for all skin types - and is "a soothing and cooling cream that is designed to go on even the most sensitive and easily upset skins". 

In other words, its perfect! And its handmade! Come on!

Purchase your tub (240g) for just £11.25 here :)

EOS - Evolution of Smooth Lip Balm

You might recognise this product advertised in numerous videos including Miley Cyrus's "We Can't Stop" video. Now when they say "the evolution of smooth", trust me, they are not lying!

With 95% organic, 100% natural, packed with vitamin E, shea butter and jojoba oil, eos keeps my lips incredibly smooth. They come in a range of flavours from strawberry sorbet to sweet mint and they smell so damn goooood.

The packaging is mad cute too!

Happy shopping ladies! :)

Krissy's Birthday & Christmas Wishlist

I am so happy December has finally arrived. It's not only Christmas time and New Years, it is also my Birthday month.  Over the years I have always had an idea of what presents I want from my family and friends.  However this year has been slightly more difficult. I blame it on getting old lol!

Everyone has been asking me what I want this year and my reply is constantly "I'll let you know".  This weekend I had a little think about things I would possibly like this year so I thought I would share them here...

1. Benefit Gift Set - I am obsessed with Benefit makeup! My favourite product at the moment is their 'They're Real Mascara' I love it. It leaves my lashes looking full and long. I am a huge mascara lover and this is for sure my no1 out of all the brands I have used. I also am loving their 'Porefessional Primer'. I have never been a primer girl until I discovered this baby! Leaves your skin feeling so lovely if you are going for the fresh face or as a base under your make up. Anything Benefit related will make me happy this year :) *hint hint* lol!
2. Ugg Boots - I cannot get enough of Ugg boots. They're my must have winter item. My black original tall ones need replacing so this year I have decided to switch it up a little and ask for the short Bailey style.
3. Vans - I have wanted Vans for a while now but I have put off buying them for ages. So many styles and colours I simply couldn't decide on what I wanted. So I decided to stick to the simple black Lo Pro Vans. Simple and neat!
4. Google Nexus 7 - I have had my eye on a tablet for a short while and had been stuck between the ipad or google nexus. I decided to sway more towards the nexus tablet as I have an iphone (which pretty much does the same as the ipad right?) and thought would be quite nice to try a different product. Nexus 7 does practically everything from blogging on the go to trying to beat my high score in candy crush lol!
5. Pandora - I was giving my silver Pandora bracelet a couple of years ago. So each occasion I just ask for charms to fill up my bracelet. I love Pandora for the simple fact that no two bracelets are ever the same. Each charm can mean something completely different to each person and they look so beautiful.
6. Sex & the City Boxset - Not much to say here as every Sexy and the City fan knows how amazing this show is. I need this boxset in my life as soon as for those nights in!
7. Marc Jacobs - Daisy & Paco Rabanne - Lady Million - Two scents I simply love. I LOVE perfume and I tend to switch my scents up weekly so a new smell for my collection is always welcome! 

What have you asked for this Christmas?
