January favourites 2016

Hey guys!

Today I'll be sharing some things I've been loving this month!

First of all the soap and glory heck of a blot powder is so good! I've recently discovered it and I've been using it ever since. It's light and translucent which I prefer because it dosent look cakey or anything or just lightly dusts onto your face and I just really love it, it's perfect for oily skin aswell, if I wear this powder I don't have to top up until about 6-8 hours later which is amazing for me. 

Next of all I love the anastasia Beverly Hills self made palette, now I think I've mentioned this product on my blog before and absolutely love it. My favourite shade is 'hot and cold'. That's all I've been wearing on my eyelids for pretty much the whole month because it's so easy and pretty and makes such a difference to my makeup look. 

Then of course the Loreal true match foundation is my holy grail! It is so good and I can't hype on about it enough, I much prefer it to my Mac foundations because It's not as cakey and it is buildable so I can settle for a lovely light coverage  or a heavy coverage depending on what my skin is like and all that jazz. It's matte aswell and overall it's a great all rounder for me! 

Then my Mac blusher in the shade 'mocha' is beautiful. It is a great blusher to wear all day every day on any occasion and honestly it's quite natural on the cheeks and it lasts all day without moving. I definitely want to get more of these.

The 'Maybelline lash sensational' mascara is actually really good. At first I tried this and I wasn't very impressed but I put it on the other day and it gave me Volumous curled lashes and I love it now! I can see why everyone hyped over this!

The elf ' wet gloss lash and brow mascara' is so good aswell, I don't really use the lash side but I use the brow side to set my brows in place everyday. It sets them perfectly without budging and it's so cheap aswell, when I got it I know it was £1.99 but now I think the price has slightly gone up but it's still very affordable for how good it is, mine has actually just run out so I need to purchase another one badly.

The Mac 'taupe' lipstick is so lovely, it's a browny nude colour and I find it to be perfect for the night time and it's also matte which is my favourite!

Then guys... I have found the best game ever! It's called colour switch and it's such a quick fun annoying game, my highest is score 12!

If you didn't already know me and my lil sister are the biggest eastenders fans going ... The storyline is so good at the moment and I feel so sorry for Stacey and Martin! 

Thank you guys for reading, please make sure you follow me and comment below! 

Love you all Xx

The reason behind my blog address

Hey guys!

So basically I wanted to talk to you guys about my blog address name. 

As you know it is 'aboutmeobvs' and I would ideally want it to be called 'beauty and fashion geek'. I basically chose 'aboutmeobvs' because my first ever post was 'about me' and I thought you had to make the address for that specific post, I didn't realise it was the actual  address for my blog page. 

I just wanted to get that out there because my address dosent fit in with beauty or anything and it might seem strange but hopefully I can change it soon lol

Makeup tutorial: Purple glam look

Hey guys!

Today I'm going to be doing something different. Basically I created a glam purple eye look. It is like a dark purple smoked out with brown in the outer corner and crease to darken the eye up a bit to make it look more glam. I also took some of the purple colour and blended it across the bottom lash line.

What I got for Christmas 2015!

Hey guys!!!

I hope everyone had a merry Christmas!

Today I'll be sharing with you what I got for Christmas. I got loads of exciting things and I'm sure you did to!

First up I got a selfie stick and this is so cool because I've wanted one for the longest time and I've finally got one!

Then I got a Betty bath set and basically I got this set for one of my friends and then I really wanted one aswell so I got one and I can't wait to use it, theres some bath crystals which I'm actually really excited about and then a bubble bath, they also smell incredible and they remind me of going on holiday (idk why lol)

Then I got a cute set of bath bombs, I  absolutely love them the theme of them is chocolates and they all smell of chocolate but some are minty and some are fruity and they are just so nice, they make a difference because I always get bath bombs from lush and finally I can try something different.

I also got the Real techniques core collection brushes and the concealer brush. I love this brand for brushes and I'm so excited to play around with these ones because I know their going to be da bomb.

I also got this massive eyeshadow palette which is so nice, I'm yet to try it but I'm so excited to play around with this.

I got the urban decay vice 4 palette which is absolutely incredible!!! There's so many different looks you can create and the brown toned colours are going to be the colours I go to all the time because there so neutral yet pretty. 

I've been wanting a eyebrow pencil for the longest time, I have some but none of them are the perfect colour. However, I know the Mac stud pencil is, so I asked for this and I got it which I'm so happy about... Finally my eyebrows can 'slayyyy'.

I wear blush almost every day and the Mac blushes get talked about on a daily on YouTube so I put a few shades on my Christmas list and I got the shade 'Mocha' which is really pretty and natural. I know I'll be wearing this all the time.

I then got this lipsy party palette! This palette is so pretty, it has 4 eyeshadows and 4 lip tints! This is such a great travel pallette and I'm glad I can finally try some of lipsys makeup.

I also got hair straighteners which I'm really happy about because I always straighten my hair and I always use my mums ones but now I have my own and I can take my time whilst doing my hair!

Then omg I got the benefit watts up highlighter and I can't wait to try this because its so nice and creamy and it looks super natural!

Then I got a £15 iTunes card so I can finally listen to Justin biebers songs without wifi (whoop whoop!!!)

I also got the little mix gold magic set. It comes with a rollerball perfume, a bottled perfume and also a body wash, I'm so excited about this as it smells amazing and the packaging is also so pretty!

I also got a Michael kors perfume!!! This is so nice, I love it so much and it's a very  unique scent, it kinds of smells like sweet almonds but it's really lovely and soft, I love it!

Then I got the Chanel mademoislle perfume!!!  I've been wanting this for ages but it's too expensive but my mum got it for me and this is literally the best smelling perfume I've ever tried!!!! I love it!

I also got a electric hand whisk, I love to bake and this will just come in handy! 

 Last of all I got  money which I'm probably going to try and save up.... Lol I don't think that will last for long...

Thank you for reading this I hope you have enjoyed it!!!

Christmas gift guide

Hello guys!!!

So Christmas is fast my approaching which means lots of shopping for presents!!!

But sometimes it can be hard to think of what to get some people so I'm fling to be telling you a few ideas you can get most people of all ages.

Teenage girls/ woman

1. Makeup- if you know someone that wears makeup then makeup is quite a fun/easy gift to shop for. You could get a lovely eyeshadow palette like the Urban decay ones or you could get a pretty lipstick! 

2. Jewellery- Now I don't think you can go wrong with a pretty necklace or some earrings (as long as they wear them). Most girls/woman wear jewellery and a basic piece would be much appreciated whether it's expensive or not. Pandora/ Ted baker do really lovely pieces of jewellery on a higher budget and I know new look and H Samuels do lovely jewellery on a lower budget.

3. A luxurious perfume- I feel like perfume will always be a timeless gift because people always wear it every single day and I know whenever I see a lovely perfume (Armani) I always see it's about £60 and I'm like "nooo way" when I can get one for £20. But a luxurious perfume like Chanel, Armani and Michael kors I'm sure anyone would appreciate!

4. Spa day voucher- Who doesn't like to get pampered???? Exactly. So why not give your daughter/mum/niece/sister/friend/gold fish (joking with fish btw, got a bit carried away) a spa voucher?! You can purchase them from Argos I believe or from shopping apps like wowcher. You can get cheap ones and expensive ones with the price ranging from £30-200 and it's a lovely little gift. 

Teenage boys/men

1. Aftershave- I feel like aftershave like perfume is one of them timeless gifts that men will always need and you can get really nice affordable gift sets like from tk max.

2. Asos do a book called 'Stuff every man needs to know'. I feel like this will be one of those cool different presents and it's very affordable. 

3. Branded hoodie- Now this may be stereotypical but nearly every boy I know owns a hoody! And I feel like getting them a nice good quality one will be a nice luxurious gifts. A jack wills or superdry hoody is perfect and I think they are about £50-60 so they aren't even that expensive either. 

4. Game console game - If you know a boy/man that has got a Xbox or PlayStation then a game is perfect to go with it! You can't really go wrong as long as you know what games they like playing whether there fighting or car games (black ops 3 or forza). 

Thank you for reading this blog! I hope your excited for Christmas!!! 

Love you all Xx

What I got for my birthday 2015!

Hey guys!

So as you may know my birthday was on the 16th November and I got some amazinggggggg gifts which I'm going to share with you.

Also guys please make sure you follow/subscribe to me. To do that all you have to do is put your email in the box on the right hand corner where it says subscribe. Once I reach a certain amount I will hold a giveaway so stay tuned so you don't miss out!

First of all...I got a iPhone 6s in rose gold, it's so nice I love it so much!

I can't really show you it because I'm on it right now but yeah...

Then I got a few goodies from my sister!

First being zoellas makeup bag, which I loveeeee!

Then she kindly got me a mascara because she knew I desperately needed a new one... She got me the Maybelline rocket one.

Then she got me the Tanya Burr eyeshadow palette, I'm so excited to use this and I'm so glad there all matte so they'll give off a really natural look.

My friend also got me some beautiful earrings.

... And she got me this lip balm which smells so nice... Of strawberries!

Then I got money from the majority of my family which I'm so happy with... I was suppose to be saving up for a nice watch but I couldn't help myself but buy makeup! So I'm going to show you what makeup I've gotten!

First of all I have gotten 3 revolution palettes... There was a 3 for 2 deal so why not..?! 

Then I decided to get 2 more eyeshadow palettes because I really needed them didn't I...? I'm so excited because firstly I got the Anastasia Beverly Hills palette which is stunning! 

I'm so happy with this... It was £27.00 from Beautybay if anyone is wondering and I think that's such a good price considering you get 14 highly pigmented eyeshadows.

Then... I got the zoeva Cocoa blend palette!

This palette was also from Beautybay for only £15.50 which is insane... That's £1.55 per eyeshadow... Like wattttt!

Then I wanted to try some new mascaras so I got the Rimmel scandal eyes and also the maybelline falsies which is my absolute favvvv! 

Last of all I got myself  the soap and glory one heck of a blot powder.. I've used this so much already because it really does help me stay matte all day. I can apply this once in the morning then I won't have to re apply until the evening which is quite unusual for me because I'm topping up at least 3 times a day! 

I was actually suppose to get the kick ass powder but it was out of stock at the time but I'll probably still buy it but just not until after Christmas. It was from boots at £12.00

I actually did get a topshop voucher, iTunes voucher and some bubble bath and lush things which I've already used because I am not very patient.

Thank you for reading... I hope you've enjoyed this, please let me know what you want for Christmas! I might do a Christmas gift guide if you would like to see it.

Also guys I just wanted to point out that on my blog posts it's written in all different fonts but I can't seem to figure out why as I do it via my phone and there's limited options... I'm really sorry for that but hopefully you can bare with.

Love you all Xx
