It's that time of the year again! Wooopwooop, I don't think I can explain how happy that makes me!
So for this year's Blogmas we have a basic schedule that I would leak to you, but then again we're going to end up not sticking to it, so I feel it would be a waste and letting ourselves down, like, if we keep it to ourselves we can pretend we haven't failed, but when it's exposed, well, then it gets bad.
We will try and keep alternating with posts like last year, with the occasional joint post!
Is there anything in particular you would want to see? Whether it be a makeup tutorial or a baking post? Ideas welcome below or you can always tweet us etc!
Thankyou and Merry Christmas
Amy

DECEMBER FAVOURITES!
Thursday, 16 January 2014
Aloha beautiful people! It's December faves time! (cue for cheers). I don't really know what else to introduce it by? Let's just start!
AMY:
Beauty:
Clearasil Perfecta Wash - I've been buzzing about this to EVERYONE! Its so cool! Its basically a face wash/cleanser, and its in a machine, and its automatic! And awesome! I love it! It does dispense the 'perfect amount' of face wash and works in removing your makeup, it also says that its 'daily clear' I'm assuming that means that it fights break outs? Or clears skin? I'm not exactly spot free, but I do have a significant amount of less spots! I still have quite a few though, I'm not saying this thing is a miracle worker! Haha! When I googled this, it said it was around the £12 mark, but I got mine for £3! WITH BATTERIES! The refills are £2! That comes with 100 doses! BARGAIN! That was from Savers, branch here in the UK (at least, I think its only in UK...)
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - I had heard loads of great things from loads of my beauty guru's, and then Megan bought it, so I used it a few times off of her, and I liked it then! I was in dire need of a powder anyway, as I have oily skin, and the foundation I was using was only a cheap one, so it was very shiny too, that didn't help matters, since I've bought this, it had transformed my face, no over exaggeration, and it lasts five hours too! I'm so so SO pleased with this buy! When I bought this all of the Translucent was gone, so I bought mine in 03Peach Glow, its still so good, and doesn't make that much difference to my skin tone either! Definite buy, so affordable too! Only £4! BUY NOW!
Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation - Yes, more Rimmel, in fact they had a 3 for 2 on Rimmel in Boots, how could I resist? This was also one that I had heard from Beauty Guru's of mine, and also, I had it about a year ago, so I already knew I liked it! It was just a matter of rekindling that love! This foundation is great, it doesn't cake, and stays put! Great! The only fault was that the colours aren't too great, last time I had this, I got the Light Porcelain, and that was FAR too light, white almost, so I bought the shade up True Ivory, and its a wee bit too warm me thinks! But this is a definite for any makeup bag! As its drug store makeup, its cheap! So good for a budget makeup wearer (like me, I'm always skint) but I also remember Tanya Burr saying that it was similar Nars Sheer Glow, so maybe even perfect for you High End people! Buy, Buy, BUY!
Food:
Mince Pies - These were my life, and probably a total Cliche for a December Favourites post, but seriously! So yummy! If you know me, you will know that I eat A LOT, and these were no exception! In fact, I've been told that while people eat, they think of me, hm... A lot of people don't like them WHY?! But I like dried fruit, especially dried apricots, I don't know why I'm talking about dried apricots now, as I don't even think they're in Mince Pies? Okay I'll shut up now!
Film:
Pretty In Pink - this is an 80's film and it just great, I first watched it in December and I like fell in love with it, omg. Its just amazing, if you haven't watched it, watch it. I like those sort of films anyway, and I like the old films: Dirty Dancing, Pretty Woman etc... Ermagherrd, it's so good!
MEGAN:
Beauty:
Lancome Hydrogen Moisturiser - During December I had only one beauty favourite and that is the French make up band, Lancome's, highly recommended moisturiser - Hydrogen! I can safely say it is the best moisturiser i have ever tried out, it absorbs easily, you don't need too much and it keeps your skin looking healthy and feeling healthy.
Food:
Cheese - This one's a bit weird, but for some unknown reason, over Christmas, I ate so much cheese! I especially like Blacksticks Blue. Cheese is great with grapes, apples, crackers or even just bread! Mmmm.
Film:
Elf - DUH! If you haven't watched this film then i suggest that you go and watch it right this minute as it is, without a doubt, the best Christmas film I have ever watched! It's hilarious, unique and good for the whole family! The storyline is unlike any other, and, above all, it's super Christmassy! I enjoyed sitting down in the evening with the Christmas tree lights and a nice cup of mulled wine and watching Elf - can you think of anything better?!
So that's the end of our december favourites - what are some of the things that you enjoyed during December? Tell us in the comments!

BLOGMAS DAY 2: WRITING CHRISTMAS CARDS!
Monday, 2 December 2013
IT'S DECEMBER! At last this day has arrived! Welcome to Blogmas! You
may recognise it as usually being Vlogmas,
but as we don’t have very interesting lives we thought we’d change it up a bit, to Blogmas!
We’ll be posting every day until Christmas! We will be alternating so I will be
doing this post today, then Amy tomorrow! (Amy was meant to upload yesterday but she had her laptop taken away... Awkward.) Every day we will be doing it on
the same topic, but as we are different people, it will be different! Although I
think we have a few planned that are different ad only require one day to get
it across! Okay? Let’s go then!
Today’s post will be about writing my Christmas cards!
Close up of a card to my friend Zoe! Eek!
I bought three packs of Christmas cards this year for all of my friends at school and my family. I'm going to buy special cards for my mum, dad, sister and best friend instead of a multi-pack card! 
Look how cute!
When I have written my cards, I don’t give them out until the last week of school and then t my family on Christmas Day, so I'm very prepared! I usually write for loads of people but this year I've only written cards for about 20 people.
The final amount of cards!
Don't forget to come back tomorrow for blogmas day three! Thank you for reading, bye!
Megan
