Favourite Christmas Jumpers ♡
1) 2) 3) 4) 5)
Even though my family and I don't really celebrate Christmas, I still enjoy doing something Christmassy on the day. I get in to the Christmas spirit by wearing a festive jumper, and then usually decorate my room with multiple fairy lights, watch festive films and drink a cup of hot chocolate. So today I thought I would share my favourite Christmas jumpers with you, to get you all in the holiday spirit.
I would love to know how you celebrate Christmas, let me know in the comments below (´・ω・`).

Too Faced Makeup
Hello,
Today I'm going to review all the Too Faced Makeup that I own. I've made mention of my love for Too Faced before. I'm not going to lie, the main reason I adore Too Faced Makeup to such an extent, is because of the packaging, I'm a sucker for cute packaging. I own 3 products by Too Faced; sweethearts perfect flush blush in candy glow, chocolate bar eye shadow palette, and the melted lipstick in peony.
1) Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush in candy glow: Let me just start by saying, the reason I bought this blush was, because of the adorable packaging, and to be quite honest I was not sure how the product itself would be. When I got it, I immediately put it on, and I was so impressed. It gives your cheeks the perfect peachy pink tint along with a lovely glow. It also acts as a highlighter, which makes it even more special. Overall it's my go to blush, its quick and easy to use, and it's worth your money. The blush consists of three different shades of pink, I usually just swirl my brush around, and all the colours beautifully combine, creating a lovely natural peachy pink look on your cheeks.
2) Chocolate Bar: Like every other Too Faced product, this one comes in a really cute packaging, in this case it resembles a chocolate bar, it doesn't get better than that, right? The first thing that comes to my mind while talking about this is, that it actually smells like chocolate, which is incredible. I've had this for over five months, and it still smells like chocolate. Anyway, moving on to the product itself.. what I love most about this is the versatility of the shades. It has almost all the neutral shades you could dream of, from baby pink (my favourite), shimmery bronze to matte brown; this palette has got them all. Compared to the naked palette, I prefer this, which is saying a lot. The quality is the same as compared to the Naked palette, which is great, but the only difference is this in my opinion, has more of a variety of different shades, so instead of buying three naked palettes, this one should be sufficient. The eyeshadows stay put for a good amount of time too. All the shades look lovely on your eyes, this palette is fit for pretty much any occasion, and any time.
3) Melted Lipstick in Peony: Right now, I'm on a mission to find the 'perfect lipstick/s', and this is close to what I have in mind. This is a really pretty colour, I would say it's a medium to light rosy pink colour. It is a liquid lipstick, so it's easy to apply, and I love how it feels on, it feels smooth and slightly velvety. It is a soft pink, which would work for any makeup look. I would definitely recommend getting this, it is one of those essential lipsticks, which you would want to own and it will be much use to you, since it makes a perfect everyday lipstick. it looks natural on, and at the same time makes your lips stand out and look gorgeous.
I hope you enjoyed reading this post. I would love to know if you own any Too Faced products, and if you do, how do you like them? Also, what are some of your favourite makeup/beauty brands?

☆ My Top 5 Favourite Albums Right Now ☆
King Con - Alex Winston:
I've been listening to a lot of random artists lately, and have come across Alex Winston, who has become one of my favourites already. I really loved the beat to each song, her voice is fantastic, and even the lyrics were well written. I really hope she comes out with new music soon.
2.
Different Colors -Walk the Moon :
I started listening to Walk the Moon, when I first discovered indie pop, which was a while back. I had loved all their music, so naturally I was really excited when I found out they came out with a new album. I admit, it could have been a little better, but maybe I just think that, because I had really high expectations. Nevertheless, I really love it. Some of the songs really have you on your feet. I love the happy upbeat vibes that you get from listening to most of the songs. My favourites would have to be Shut Up and Dance and Work This Body.
3.
1989 - Taylor Swift:
This album was just beautiful, one of the rear albums that you can listen to without having to skip any tracks. In my opinion, it is her best album so far. This album is full of feel good songs that make you smile.
You can listen to most of the album here too c:
4. My Blood Is Full Of Airplanes - The Cinema:
I can't tell you how much I love The Cinema, they are one of my favourite bands. This is also one of those albums, I can listen to without skipping any of the songs. I love this specific genre of music, and I really enjoyed listening to this album, and continue to do so.
5. Black Star Elephant - Nico & Vinz
I love the positive vibes that each song in this abum releases. These are the sweetest and most positive songs that I've listened to. If I feel low, listening to this album will surely cheer me up. The lovely lyrics paired with the upbeat music, make each track on this album perfect. My favourite songs would have to be; Know What I'm Not, Running and People.
I hope you enjoyed reading this post. If you have heard any of these albums, I would love to know what you thought of them, and also what your favourite albums are at the moment ♡

Motivational Monday ♡
Summer break is over, and it's time to get back to work for most people, which can be really stressful. Its important to have a positive attitude and not to stress out or worry too much. This picture has helped me realize, that I might be having a bad day or have a problem or two to deal with, but it's not worth stressing or being upset over, because there are people with bigger problems, and there are more important things in life. Also, thinking about it all day wont help get rid of the problem, Soon, those problems you had to deal with; that bad day, or embarrassing moment, won't matter.
If you're going through or dealing with something, talk to someone and remember you're not alone, a lot of people have gone or are going through what you are going through right now. So, please stay strong, be positive and remember in the end, you'll be okay! Also, if you want to talk, I'm here for you, you can find me on my twitter or you can email me, my email is: noorza1999@gmail.com.
There are different things that you can do to deal with whatever you are going through. For me, I've seen writing down how I'm feeling, or listening to music helps. So, I made this playlist on Spotify (♡), which will hopefully help me get through this week and the coming weeks. Feel free to check it out, I hope you like it. I also hope you enjoyed reading this post, and that it makes you feel a little bit better.
XO,
Noor.
