Ugly Christmas Jumpers 2014

Hey guys! I was looking at Christmas jumpers the other day which you may already know if you saw my top Christmas jumpers 2014 blog post, and while I was looking at jumpers I came across some that weren't so nice. Some of them are funny but still, they aren't the prettiest jumpers. I thought you might like to see them too because they are quite funny. What's even more funny is that they are all pretty expensive, and I don't know why you would spend so much money on a hideous jumper. They aren't in any particular order and if you want more information about them, they are all linked below.

1. Happy Birthday Jesus Jumper - funkychristmasjumpers.com (€39.99)
2. Xmas Mash-Up Crew Neck Jumper - Amazon (€20)
3. Santa Christmas Jumper- Amazon (€25)
4. The 3 Kings Jumper - funkychristmasjumpers.com (€39.99)
5. Santa of Hearts Jumper - funkychristmasjumpers.com (€39.99)

What do you think? Would you wear any of these? Which do you think is the worst? Leave a comment down below.

Sisterhood of the world Blogger Award


Hey guys! I've been nominated for the "Sisterhood of the world Blogger Award" by the lovely Cristina from cristinayats so I thought that I would do the tag for today's blog post. Thank you for nominating me Cristina :) So here is the tag:

The Rules:
1. Thank the blogger who nominated you, linking back to their site
2. Answer the ten questions that have been set you
3. Make up ten new questions for your nominees to answer
4. Nominate ten people
5. HAVE FUN

The questions Cristina asked me:

1. What is your must have for winter? (piece of clothing, not beauty)
A onesie and fuzzy slippers, I couldn't survive without them!

2. A beauty product you could not live without
I think it's just mainly eye makeup, not any particular product.

I love a red lipstick for Winter and Christmas but I also think berry would be really nice too. I don't really have one specific lipstick.

My Favourite Christmas Jumpers 2014

Hey guys! Are ye all excited for Christmas? There aren't that many days left now :) Today I'm am showing you my top Christmas jumpers for this year. So here they are in no particular order:

This novelty jumper is really cute and festive. I love this colour so much but it also comes in other colours like red and navy for those of you who don't like it. This is one of the more fun jumpers I've chosen.

This one is quite a traditional jumper. It has a reindeer on it just like the last one and I just love the pattern on it. It's the one of the most expensive jumpers but it looks like it's really great quality and would last a couple of Christmases.  

This jumper is just another cute grey one, with snowflakes this time. I don't know why but most of these jumpers are grey. This one looks really warm and snuggly.

This one is so cute and not your typical Christmas jumper. It's a bit more everyday jumper with a hint of Christmas in it than a full blown knitted Christmas jumper. 

I love this as a sort of alternative to a Christmas jumper. It's not technically a Christmas jumper but it's warm and furry and a little more fashion forward than the others. 

Last but not least, this polar bear jumper. It's really cute and it reminds me of the coke polar bears at Christmas. I also really like that it has little baubles as snow on it. So cute!!

So those are my top Christmas jumpers this year. I hope you like them. Have you gotten your Christmas jumper yet? Which of these is your favourite? Leave a comment below.

Gift ideas for Sisters

Hey, guys! I've been thinking lately of what to get my sisters for Christmas and I came up with a few ideas that I thought I would share with you. One of my sisters is in her twenties and the other is nearly fourteen so I've put together a little mix of presents ideas for both of them. So here are my ideas:

1. Too Faced Boudoir Eyes Eye Palette - Boots (€38.00)
When I saw this I thought of my older sister, she has a too faced palette already so I know she likes the brand. I thought the colours in this palette would be perfect for her, there are neutral ones for every day but there is also black and silver to create a really dramatic smokey eye. It's pretty expensive though so it would only be that present on its own that I would get her and I want to get her a few things.

2. Essence Gel Nails At Home - Pennys/Primark (€25- €30)
This is something that I just think would be a great present for any girl. I mostly put this on the list because I would really love to get this for Christmas and I know both of my sisters would feel the same. If you haven't heard of it yet, it's basically a really inexpensive kit to create gel nails at home. The beauty of it is that you can use it with any nail polish including the Essence ones that are less than €2 and it turns them into a gel nail finish so your nail polish will last much longer.

3.  Sleek 7 Piece Brush Set- Boots (€15.99)
I really think my younger sister would love a makeup brush set. She has a few random brushes but is constantly stealing mine. This one is really inexpensive and has all the essential brushes that a 14-year-old would need. It also has a brush belt that I think she would love because it makes the brushes look a bit more professional and she can take them with her anywhere she goes.

4. Rose Gold Tine Bracelet Watch (€37.00)
I love this watch, my mom loves this watch and I bet both of my sisters would love it too. Any girl would love this watch for Christmas. I don't know how many of my friends in work have rose gold watches but I know that these are a big favourite right now among them all. I think I might actually get it for my mom now because when I showed her the sister gift ideas picture I made she completely fell in love with the watch and wouldn't stop talking about it.

5. Maybelline NY Limited Edition Fashion Look Box - Boots (€24.99)
I think this set is perfect for younger teenage girls who are starting off their makeup collection, or maybe don't have that much makeup yet because it has a lot of different products in it. There is mascara, blush, baby lips lip balm, nail polish and more and it isn't too expensive.

I hope you liked this post. What are you thinking of buying your family members for Christmas? Has everyone already started Christmas shopping? I still haven't gotten half the things I need. Leave a comment below.

Real Techniques Core Collection Winner

Hey guys! So my international giveaway to win a Real Techniques Core Collection has finally ended. Before I announce the winner I just want to thank you all for reading and following my blog. It means a lot to me. Also I would just like to state that the winner was chosen at random by the Rafflecopter widget so it was all completely fair and their entry was verified.

So here it goes.The winner is...

 Raine E.

Congratulations Raine. I have already sent her an email letting her know and will be sending the brushes as soon as I receive her postal information.

For everyone who was unlucky this time around, I will be holding more giveaways in the future so make sure to look out for them. Also, I have recently reached 900 followers on my blog on Bloglovin so thank you all for continuing to read and support it. I only wish that everyone could win something. I'm thinking for the next giveaway I might have two or three winners so that more people have the opportunity to win because I know that there will be a lot of people who will be very disappointed at not getting their hands on these brushes.
