Christmas at Disneyland Paris

Recently I was lucky enough to head to Disneyland Paris for a few days to experience my first ever Disney Christmas. As a massive Disney fan, I was obviously ridiculously excited from the moment we booked & couldn't wait to experience the magic again.

We really made the most of the time we had in Paris & ran around acting like children all over again. This included meeting as many characters as possible (all in adorable Christmas outfits!), eating a tonne delicious of food & getting a little emotional at the Christmas firework display.. something I'm not at all ashamed of.

If you're a Disney fan, I honestly couldn't recommend visiting at Christmas as it really is the most magical of places!

Have you ever visited Disneyland at Christmas?
If so I'd love to hear any stories!

Beautiful in Vegas - A Day to Night Look*

Since arriving home from my little Christmas break to Paris (watch this space for a post all about that) I can't help but think about my next holiday. One destinations that has made its way onto my wishlist has to be the one & only Las Vegas - in particular the stunningly beautiful Palazzo Hotel - the sister hotel of the world-famous Venetian Hotel.

From spa days to jaw-dropping shows, the Palazzo (& Vegas in general) seems to be a great place to really look your best - however (as something I imagine every beauty-lover knows all to well) getting ready can be pretty time consuming. A great way to avoid this is a simple day-night look. As someone who works full-time, day-night looks are something I often find myself creating as they're so quick. 

To start, I always top up my concealer to cover any pesky dark-marks or blemishes that may be reappearing  & then set everything back in place with my translucent powder. Next comes a quick application of bronzer & some trusty highlighter (I am not blessed with natural cheek-bones, thanks Dad!). I find this helps recreate that flawless base that comes with a fresh-face of makeup. 

The final make-up steps are two that I find really take the look from day-night; Eyeliner & Lipstick. Despite being a beauty lover, a cat-flick simply isn't something I've ever been able to master. However I find a simple black line across the upper lash-line is more than enough to add some definition. This - alongside a layer of lipstick - and the evening make-up is complete. 

To complete the look, a quick spritz of  Dry Shampoo to give my hair some added volume followed by some fresh perfume & I'm ready to head straight out to enjoy whatever the night has in store! 

If - like me - a trip to Vegas is something that takes your fancy, be sure to check out the amazing packages & offers currently available through Vegas.com.
