We've all been there. Today and tomorrow, spent rushing around the local town and/or shopping center in a desperate search for last minute presents that you've either forgotten or just haven't bothered to buy yet. I'm feeling pretty smug, because this is usually me. But this year, I have done the unheard of, and I finished my shopping early. Yes, it felt amazing.

But for those of you who haven't got anything yet, don't worry, I got you. Here are a few ideas, that should be accessible on most high streets/in most shopping centers.

And even though I say these are "last minute" gifts, I still think they're really great ideas, and I love it when I receive them!

You can never go wrong with a good pair of socks. My favourites are always from with New Look or Primark.

Who doesn't love a good bit of choccy? You can either go all out and go to somewhere fancy like Hotel Chocolate or maybe Thornton's, or you can do what my Dad does: he gets me a HUUUGE block of my favourite chocolate and I love it and eat it within like a week haha.

Bath bombs are simple, sweet and relatively cheap if you only want to spend a few pounds but want a nice looking present. Lush also have loads of gift sets too if you wanted something that was a bit more put together, and they come pre wrapped - bonus!

Gift cards are amazing presents, especially if you buy them for the person's favourite store! I picked out 3 of my faves, and a bonus with Amazon is you can email a gift card if you remember someone you forgot at 11:30pm Christmas Eve, or if the person you are buying for lives far away.

Get them some of their fave alcohol! It is Christmas after all.

If you're super duper stuck. then pop some money in a card! That way you know you haven't gone wrong with a present faux pas, and they can buy something they really really want. Like I want a new tattoo.....

Last but not least, you could give them a hug, and hope that you look as cute as these foxes haha.

See you tomorrow for the final day of Blogmas!

Hey there and Happy Halloween weekend! Today I have a look that was inspired by pumpkins! I love pumpkin carving and I'm going to be carving on this weekend and I'm super excited!!

As expected, this is an orange look, and I used my new Milani eyeshadow, which I love! I'm definitely going to buy some more at some point.

I hope you enjoy this and that you're feeling super spooky this weekend!

First of all I used Peach Smoothie from Makeup Geek as my transition colour because it's such a light shade.

Then I used Substitute For Love from the Zoeva Cocoa Blend palette just a little bit below this to add some depth.

To brighten the orange tones, I put LOL by NYX all through the crease.

On my lid I put Bella Mandarin all over and blended it up into the LOL shade.

With a thick pencil brush I used Faint from the Naked Basics palette.

On the outer corner, up along the tape so it creates a sharp line, I blended in Beans Are White.

I did a really long wing because as you shall see...

I put 4 round face glitters from PS from Primark. You can always do this with eyeliner to create little dots, but I had these so I decided I'd use them!

I then blended Faint along my lower lashline.

And there we are!

On my lips I used one of the new NYX Liquid Suede's in Alien, it's a gorgeous black, I love it! (we all know I love them anyway haha)

I hope you enjoyed this post, and that it's got you in the mood for Halloween! This is obviously a more wearable look, but I will be doing a few looks over the weekend, one of them being my look for my costume, so keep an eye out!

Thanks for reading

Hello!

Today I have this look that I came up with yesterday, so I decided that I would recreate it and share it. I used sellotape with this to create a sharp line, something that I've never tried before, but I don't think that this second attempt is too bad! I hope you enjoy :)

For my transition shade,I used Substitute For Love from the Zoeva Cocoa Blends Palette (this entire look is using this) and ran it through my crease, bringing it up slightly as it reaches the tape.

Next I deepened this with Freshly Toasted to make the colours look a bit warmer.

Then I applied Beans Are White to the outer corner, focusing on making the colour deeper along the tape line. Make sure that the colour blends softly into the center of the eye.

I then put Pure Ganache across the rest of my lid, blending it with Beans Are White.

While the tape was still on, I did my eyeliner so I could follow the line better.

After applying my face makeup, I ran a mix of Substiture For Love and Beans Are White along my lower lash line.

Then a applied mascara and my Ardell Demi Wispies and there ya are! (Excuse my wonky eyebrows, I FINALLY got them done and the woman messed them up. Yay)

On my lips, I used my new favourite lip crayon from Primark. It's their PS Velvet Matte Lipstick Crayon but it doesn't have a name I don't think, just the number 11? I seriously think this beats Birthday Suit by Sleek as my go to lip colour.

Thank you for reading,

Today the weather has got worse and I'm having a bad hair day so I pulled out my beanie. I'm also wearing my rucksack for the first time in forever, thinking I could put my jacket there if it got warm but I need my jacket in this rain. Also, I stole the creepers off my best friend Kirsty oops.

Jacket - I'm not sure, my aunt gave it to me
Lace Blouse - Was my mums
Vest - New Look
Shorts - Internacionale
Tights - Amazon
Shoes - Primark (stole them off Kirsty, I need to give them back)
