Pandora Ring | Mother of Pearl Ring.

Pandora is a brand famously known for those beautiful charm bracelets that everyone loves and raves about. I love them too but for Christmas I decided to pick out a special ring from Pandora. I have never shopped there and never really took an intrest in the brand. I don't know why but I decided to look on the website one day and my God, the jewellery is absolutely stunning. Rings, necklaces and bracelets make the most special presents. Also, I think you should keep jewellery for life. After a long search on the Pandora website, I found my baby. I know, I fall in love with everything but when I saw the Mother of Pearl ring I knew it was The One!

I thought I'd write this post for anyone that might be wanting to buy anything from Pandora as I really didn't know what to expect when I ordered the Mother of Pearl ring. Needless to say, I am absolutely blown away. I thought it was love at first sight when I saw this ring on the website but when it arrived at my door, perfectly packaged in a bag and box with ribbon, I was actually blown away by the rings pure beauty. No over exaggerating! I still can't believe it's mine. At £65, it's pretty reasonable as I love to wear rings each day! What was annoying though (this is my only criticism with Pandora) is that delivery was an extra £10 (!) and didn't arrive for over two weeks.

But that aside I couldn't be more pleased with my Christmas present from Mum and Dad. The stone in the Mother of Pearl ring literally glows in all lights - it's like nothing I've ever seen before. It's set upon a beautiful twisted band that makes this ring even more elegant and lavish.

So there is my review on Pandora. Make sure if you order anything for a loved one to order early so it arrives on time as delivery is quite slow. Pandora items really are the most special gifts and have the power to make any girl feel special. The prices are reasonable too!

Would you buy anything Pandora? What do you think of their jewellery?

Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation | Review & Swatches

Before Christmas, I had run out of every single foundation I owned (this has never happened before!) so I had to use my old and forgotten bottle of Estee Lauder Double Wear. I am being serious when I say that Double Wear has got to be my least favourite foundation ever! The colour is absolutely terrible and I just don't like the consistency. Really disappointing for my first ever expensive foundation - never again! So, for Christmas I turned to the trusty highstreet foundations! Rimmel is my favourite brand for face make up products because the shades are personally perfect for me and I've had other foundation before from the brand. Rimmel's Match Perfection foundation was a new one to me though and I thought it was time I gave it a go!

I was absolutely blown away by this product and I'll keep on re-purchasing forever! This is the best foundation I've ever used. I honestly think everyone should get a bottle. I got the lightest shade of Match Perfection which is Porcelain. It's perfect for fairer skinned girls and the colour is perfect for me. It's probably the best foundation I've ever had for an accurate match for my skin. It's medium coverage and it doesn't feel heavy at all. I set it with Rimmel's Clear Complexion Transparent powder. Instead of rambling on about how much I love this foundation, below I've done a list of all the reasons why I absolutely adore Match Perfection:

Pros:

• The perfect colour.
• Blends beautifully and looks natural.
• Light weight.
• Looks flawless all day.
• Amazing staying power.
• Covers dark circles and blemishes.
• I think this would suit most skin types.

Cons:

• Those with oily skin types may need to use a little bit of powder though out the day.

At £6.99, this foundation is definately a beauty bargain and I think you should try this amazing product out for yourself. You definately won't regret it in the slightest!

Would you try Match Perfection foundation?

Wait & Braid | Side Inverted Fishtail.

I think fishtail braids are one of the most popular braids out there and it's easy to see why! The fishtail braid was one of the first braids I ever learnt and it's still one of my most worn hairstyles. The fishtail does take longer to do but it's definately worth learning! This is an inverted fishtail braid and the only difference from the normal fishtail is that you're crossing strands of hair under and not over. All you have to do is split the hair into two sections and keep on getting little strands from each side and crossing under. I know I'm the worst person to explain this but there are lots of videos on Youtube to help you out!

I decided to do this hairstyle on New Years day and instead of the usual I done the braid at the side of my head and left the rest of my hair out of the plait for a different look. I really like it and I think it was a really glamourous but edgy look for the new year.

Hope you all have a wonderful New Year and liked this style too!

New Years Eve Walk & New Year's Resolutions

Happy New Year's eve everyone! I know many people are thinking this but can you believe it's going to be 2015 tomorrow? A new start and a new chapter for everyone. I hope everyone has a really nice day! I'm really going to make 2015 wayy more better than 2014. It's been a pretty tough year. So we both thought there would be nothing more relaxing than saying 'f*ck off' to this year than going on a nice winter walk to the park with our parents and doggies. I wanted to get a photograph of the dogs but they never stay still! They were both too busy slipping all over the icy pavements. Doesn't it all look so beautiful with the frost and the left over remains of snow on the ground? My favourite type of Winter weather.

We also thought we'd add in some quick New Year's resolutions for 2015. I never stick to these but I think it's still great to make them and have personal goals!

1. Don't hate on yourself so much. I know, me and Rachel are terrible for this and it's something I've never talked about on the blog before. We constantly pick on ourselves and sadly make ourselves feel worthless. We have very low self esteem because of being bullied in school I think. I think trying to boost our self esteem is going to be the best thing for us.

2. Continue art and guitar. I love being creative but obviously I can start losing focus. Especially with guitar - sometimes I want to smash it because I feel so frustrated learning it! But I want to make sure I keep on learning borth art and guitar because I do love it really. No matter how frustrating it might get!

3. To be more positive. I should probably say not to worry as much too. I swear my mind never stops torturing me and making me worry about things that don't matter/aren't true.

Have you made any New Year's Resolutions?

MAC | Keepsakes Set

I was one lucky girl this Christmas. Me and Rachel always buy each other Christmas and birthday presents. It's like our sisterly tradition but we always end up showing each other before we're meant to! This year was no different and I couldn't believe it when I opened my Christmas present from Rachel! This year's MAC Keepsakes Christmas set! I know, I was in shock too!

I've only ever owned a couple of MAC lipsticks before and absolutely loved them like everyone else. I've really wanted to try out other products and this was the most perfect present! I almost cried haha. Inside this beautiful glittery black bag (can you believe how glamourous and pretty this packaging is?) was a brown eyeliner, an two set eyeshadow palette and a mascara! They are all full sized and I could barely contain my excitement. Is there really anything better than putting expensive make up on? It always makes me feel so much better and it's the ultimate treat.

I've included a photograph of me wearing all the mentioned products! Wow, these are the best eye make up products EVER. The mascara. It's unbelievable! Look how long it makes me lashes while keeping them natural looking. I love the eye shadows too. They are so creamy and soft and glide on my eye lids seamlessly. I love the shades. One is a shimmery white but looks really understated and highlights perfectly. The other is like a brown but really compliments the white. It doesn't look harsh against the lighter shade and is a dream to wear. In my opinion, brown eyeshadow is so much more wearable than black so this was the perfect liner for me. It lives up to all expectations too. It finshes off my look perfectly and I can't thank my beautiful sis Rach enough for this truely gorgeous gift!

What do you think of MAC makeup? Do you think it's worth the price tag?

MAC | Twig & Taupe Lipstick Swatches

Christmas wouldn't be complete without a MAC lipstick would it? I love MAC makeup but I don't usually buy it during the year. We got Twig and Taupe as a present for this Christmas and we couldn't be happier with them!

TWIG

First up is Twig. Twig is a pink/brown lipstick with a satin finish. This shade is quite similar to MAC's Mehr lipstick. It's a wearable shade and perfect for all year round. It glides on the lips and it doesn't dry them out at all. The staying power is great too and it's so pigmented. As always, I love the smell of MAC lipsticks. They kind of remind me of cake for some reason or vanilla. I've got nothing bad to say about this lipstick, I love it!

TAUPE

Taupe is a matte lipstick and is a dark nude colour. I think every girl that loves a dark nude lipstick will love Taupe. It's the perfect brown shade and it's so pigmented and stays on all day. This lipstick really complements pale skin and any hair colour. As this is a matte lipstick, I was worried it would dry my lips out but this lipstick is actually very moisturizing! I would definitely buy this colour again!

As you can see Twig and Taupe are beautiful colours and so on trend. I would definitely recommend everyone to try these two lipsticks out!

Do you love Twig and Taupe?
