May Favourites

Hello everyone! Hope you're all well.

We're into into June now so, that means monthly favourites! I've kind of been excited for this months

favourites as I've been really loving some new products I've tried and I'm very keen to show tell you

about them.

Anelco Beer Shampoo & Conditioner

I knew beer is good for your hair because of the malt and hops in it. They are full of protein which strengthens

the hair and also leaves hair shining. I have never seen beer shampoo before until, I was in Superdrug recently

just picking up a few bits. It was only £1.99 so just thought, 'why not?'. I've used it a few times and it does exactly

what it says. I use it once a week and it just lifts your hair and gives it body and shine and, who doesn't want that

 I'm definitely going to stock up on this stuff!

Urban Decay All Nighter Make Up Setting Spray

I always wanted to try setting sprays but wasn't sure which one would work for me. I saw that Urban Decay do travel

sizes of some of their products. I bought the 'All Nighter' spray as, it was the most popular one out of all of them.

Since buying it, I use it every single day. I can't go a day with out it! I love how my make-up looks after using it

and it doesn't budge!

Eylure Individual Lash - Fine to Full

I was always a bit intimidated by individual lashes as I thought only professionals could apply them. I couldn't

have been more wrong! I picked them up on a 3 for 2 offer and they are so incredible easy to apply. I would say

possibly more easy than normal lashes. I feel that you can add fullness or length wherever you want to and, where

they are individual they look more natural. The only love/hate issue with them is that they stay put so, when it

comes to removing them they are a little stubborn but just be patient and use to lash remover.

Dove Maximum Protection Pomegranate Cream Deodorant

I prefer stick/cream deodorant's personally as, I feel they work best on me. I was still searching for the perfect

one for a while, until I found this. It smells really lovely and it just does the job. It is a bit pricey but that's why

I stock up when it's on offer!

Palmers Cocoa Body Scrub

I use this before I fake tan and it is literally incredible! Not only does it help get rid of dead skin, It helps get rid

of the bumps on the back of your arms and legs. My skin has never felt softer than when I use this. I've already ran

out of it and I've not even had it long. That's how much I love it.

Home & Beauty Haul

Hello everyone! Hope you're all well.

I've got a small haul for you of stuff I've recently purchased. Mostly beauty buys,

but a few home buys too. I do feel like I've bought way more than this in the past

few weeks but I just cant seem to remember what and where those things are!

Hope you enjoy!

Deliciously Ella

I got this as I wanted to get back into better eating habits, and I saw so many great reviews on this book so,

I just thought I'd give it a go. I haven't cooked anything from this book yet but, I am really excited to! I

have also seen a few more healthy eating cook books, and now I'm becoming a bit excited about them!

Dove Maximum Protection Go Fresh Pomegranate & Lemon Verbena Deodorant Cream

I know this is a bit of a random one but, I'm someone who likes a decent deodorant. I use to sweat quite a lot,

it's not so bad these days but I became very picky with my deodorant. I used Mitchum for years and ended

up using the stick version of it as my sister recommended it to me. I do like it but felt it wasn't good enough.

I always wanted to try this one from Dove as I heard a few good reviews but, it's a bit pricey so was very hesitant.

I got it whilst it was on offer and I've stated using it, and love it so much that I went out and bought back ups!

Urban Decay Perversion Mascara

I needed a new Perversion mascara as I was running out of my last one and had resorted to using a sample

one I got from MAC! I forgot how much I really loved it and especially with the primer underneath!

Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion (Travel Size)

I don't wear eye shadow too much but, when I do I feel like I need a primer. Usually I'll just use concealer, but

after using samples of the urban decay primer I knew I wanted to purchase it. I did only get a travel size as, I

didn't think there was much point getting a full size if I don't use it that often. I haven't opened it yet but I've

used it before so I know how good it is!

Urban Decay All Nighter Make-Up Setting Spray (Travel Size)

I really badly wanted to try make up setting sprays! I got the travel size of the 'All Nighter' spray from Urban

Decay as, I wanted to try it but didn't want to commit to the full size. I've used it every day since getting it and

I'm so in love! I may have to commit to the full size soon.

Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam Light/Medium

If you read my blog, you know I love this stuff! I just had to get another one whilst it was on offer as, I was

running low!

Wilko Honeycomb Glass Candle Holder & Wilko Floral Pick Cream

I love flowers but unfortunately, I'm known to kill them pretty easily. I wanted some on my desk to look pretty

and also be a background for my blog pictures. I use the candle holder as a vase as it's the perfect size and, I got

3 lots of the bunches of flowers to make it look full and pretty. It looks so pretty on my desk and I love it so

much. I especially love the fact I know I won't kill them.

Hello everyone! Hope you're well.

Today I'm going to do am empties post. I haven't got too much to show but I have been using this

products like crazy and love them a lot. In fact, I've already repurchased 3 of the products already!

Hope you enjoy!

Dove Summer Glow Nourishing Lotion (Fair/Medium Skin)

In the winter I become quite fair so, to put a bit of colour back into me I just moisturise with this after I show and

it gives me a bit of a glow. I've used it for quite a few years and always loved it. It gives a very natural glow to the

skin. It's great for anyone who is a bit afraid of fake tan! I've already repurchased it because I love it so much and

go through it way too quickly.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair

If you watch Youtube or read blogs as much as myself, then you know this concealer is the bomb.com. It's just

so inexpensive but the best coverage ever. I've repurchased two already because it's always sold out so a get a few

when I have the chance!

Elegant Touch Rapid Dry Spray

I'm quite impatient when it comes to painting my nails. I only just found out about this at the end of last year and

I've loved it ever since. I can't paint my nails with out it. It just cuts down the time of them drying a ridiculous

amount. If you have thick nail polish it still takes a little more time but this definitely help speed up that process!

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

I've raved about this spot treatment a lot of my blog so, I wont go on and on but it is pretty much amazing. It lasted

me quite a while. Probably about 6 months I wanna say. I use it quite often too. I've had to repurchase this because

I just can't lie with out it now. I put it on any nasty blemishes and within 2/3 nights, it's practically gone.

Urban Decay Perversion Mascara

I find it hard to get a good mascara as I have quite short lashes. This one is really great for length and volume

for me personally. I try to use it along with the Subversion primer to get the full effects of it. It doesn't dry out

quickly and lasts quite a while. It definitely is better when you use it with the primer as opposed to using it alone.

I'd like to buy a new one at some point but it is a bit pricey unfortunately. That's probably the only real downside.

January Favourites

Hello everyone, hope you're well!

January passed by pretty quickly, didn't it? I still can't over that it's 2015 to be honest.

Anyway, here's my favourite things from January..

Be Body Beautiful by Lucy Mecklenburgh

Recently I've been wanting to be more healthy and get my body in better shape. I'm in no means fat but I would

like to be more toned and have better eating habits. Eating good food is also beneficial to your skin which is

another reason for it. I know Lucy Mecklenburgh from watching her on TOWIE and also I know about how she

has now started helping girls get fit and healthy by doing Results with Lucy. I was also interested but didn't

really want to sign up and pay all that money if I wasn't 100% sure on it. When I saw she has brought out a book,

I was all over it. The book is very informative and has taught me to much about food and exercise. It's also very

inspiring seeing other people's stories about they lost weight and did it in a healthy way. It's definitely helped

me to be more careful of what I'm putting into my body and made me more inclined to work out, not just to lost

weight or tone up but to feel better and more energised. I definitely recommend it if you're interested in losing

weight, toning up or even just wanting to be more healthy. Especially if it's only £7!

Glam Glow Super Mud Clearing Treatment

I got this in a set for Christmas along with the Tinglexfoliate Treatment and also the Thirty Mud Hydrating

Mask. I've really enjoyed trying them all out and love them all so much. This is probably my favourite one out

of them all. It's to help clear the skin or any large pores, blackheads and breakouts. I suffer from blackheads

and breakouts and my pores have never usually been a massive problem but recently they're starting to become

one I'm sad to say. This mask is definitely a saviour though. It helps draw out any impurities in the skin and

you can actually see it working. I really like the results so I'm definitely going to be purchasing a full size pot

and use it on a regular basis! The only downside is the price but I can see the mask lasting me a while so, I don't

think I will need to restock too often.

Glam Glow Youth Mud Tinglexfoliate Treatment

The second most favourite Glam Glow mask of mine is this Tinglexfoliate treatment. It's suppose to be a 'facial

in a jar' for immediate camera ready glowing skin. I will definitely say that I agree with this. When you put the

mask on your feel it tingle a lot. I don't think everyone will love this feeling as it's quite intense but I really enjoy

it as I know it's working it's magic! It's only supposed to be on your face for 10 minutes then wash is off and you're

good to go! I love using it just before I go out somewhere nice. I love that it makes me look glowing and radiant

and ready for a night out! It's the most perfect little mask every girl should have.

Urban Decay Naked Basics 2

Now, I do love my original basics palette but for some reason, I've been grabbing for this one much more this past

month. The colours are new so are a bit more exciting to use than the original one which, I've had for quite a while

now. They're all natural colours too so are great for everyday wear and last all day long.

Ciate Nail Polish in Amazing Gracie

When it comes to nail polishes I either like a deep red or a nude pink. I got this one in my Ciate advent calender

in December and haven't stopped using it since. It's such a feminine colour and I love those colours. Its the perfect

bridal colour as well. I'm really into nudes and pale pink's at the moment on nails. It's so simple yet so elegant.

This one need s a few coats which, is something I don't love but I do really think the colour is beautiful on the nails.

I'm quite pasty at the moment and it looks nice on me but I also think it'd go beautifully with a tan also!

Wilko Premium Concealer Brush

I love when I find cheap make up brushes that are amazing. I do love my Real Techniques and MAC brushes but

I love finding great little finds like this. I still can't get over that this brush was only £3! It's a concealer brush but I

like to use it for my lower lash line or putting colour in the crease of my eye. I have another brush from Wilko which

is a blending brush. they both are such good value for money and even if they break I don't mind buying another as

they are so cheap. I can't really see them breaking though as they seem like they are pretty decent quality!

My 2014 Favourites

Hello everyone!

Hope you're all well. So, instead of doing a December favourites I've decided to do a 2014 favourites

because there wasn't much in December to show you apart from Christmas gifts which a few are

included in this! I know I'm a bit late with this! I'm trying to get back into the swing of things after

Christmas still!

I don't have tons and tons of products but I do still have a lot so I'm only got to say a little bit about each

products as pretty much all of them I have featured on my blog in the past anyway.

Enjoy!

Make up

Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin Foundation in Ivory
My everyday foundation that gives me a dewy glow. I wouldn't say it's completely full coverage but it does
still give a decent amount with out looking cakey. 

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair
I'm sure everyone has tried this concealer before and I'm sure that majority of people love it, including me!
It gives great coverage and is so inexpensive!

Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer in Light
I love this concealer for under my eyes. I usually mix it with my Collection concealer as it gives a brighter
effect and helps cover those dark circles.

Rimmel Clear Complexion Transparent Powder
I don;t usually need to use powder as my skin is slightly dry anyway but if I'm going out or wanting my
make-up to last quite a while I usually opt for this powder. It sets my face make-up without looking cakey
or changing the colour.

Mac Powder Blush in Melba
I haven't really branched out when it comes to blush's this past year. I'm more of a bronzer girl but this is just a 
erfect colour that matches pretty much any look. This year I will be trying out more blush's though!

Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder
A bronzer that looks natural and is easily build-able. I use it for either lightly contouring or all over for a sun
kissed look and does the job perfectly!

Maybelline Brow Satin Eyebrow Pencil in Medium Brown
This is a new discovery this year and I'm so happy I found it! I always wanted to try out some of the Anastasia
brow products but I found this from Maybelline. It has retractable pencil one end to create the shape and a
sponge with the product on the other side to fill n any spare areas. I usually just stick the the pencil though as
it does a perfect job without looking too harsh. Plus, it's so affordable!

Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Mascara in Medium Brown
This brow mascara is how I set my brows and it does the job every time. They aren't like completely budge
proof but they do keep them in place all day and keep my crazy brows going in one direction.

Urban Decay Perversion Mascara
Another discovery in 2014 and I am so happy! This mascara is definitely one of the best I've ever used. Even
better when you use it with the primer as well.

Eylure Naturalites False Eyelashes in 020
I've started getting into wearing false lashes more. It's much easier than I thought and I only put on a bit of
mascara with it. It make life so much easier when removing your eye make up! Plus they give youe yes
much more definition. These ones are natural so I can wear them daytime or night time!

L'Oreal Paris Super Liner Eye Liner Gelmatic in Intense Black
I''m not a big eye liner girl. It's not that I don't like it, I just don't always have the time to do that extra step.
I keep my make-up very simple. When I'm making a bit more of an effort I will put on eye liner to add a bit
of definition to the eyes. I've used this one from L'oreal for a while and I really love it. Once it's dry it's
pretty much budge proof! I find this one really easy to apply as well as I'm not the best at applying eye liner!

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette
This palette is amazing! It's literally just an all rounder. I've used it for my eyebrows in the past as well as my
eyes. You can create a subtle daytime look with this, but easily change it to a smokey night time look as well.
I like that face all the colours are all matte as well as I'm not a fan of any shimmer for every day looks.

Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in Eastend Snob
I'm pretty sure I'm the last to discover this lip liner! I've heard about it for years just never was really fussed
but gave in and I actually love it. I just put it all over the lips to add a bit of colour and it stays put almost
all day. It's very subtle but I feel it makes such a difference and defines my lips and bit more. I like keeping it
matte but some days if I want it glossy then I'll just add a  nude gloss over top.

Maybelline Color Drama Lipstick in Light It Up
I've been more daring in 2014 and wore more red lipstick. If you wear it right you can get away with wearing
it in the day time. I feel like it makes you look like you've made more of an effort, when all you've done is
add a red lipstick. These ones are long lasting, inexpensive and don't easily transfer. Top 3 things I want in a
lipstick and of course good pigment which, this definitely has.

Barry M Gelly High Shine Nail Paint in Lychee
This nail polish has been my go-to nude colour all year. It's so simple and subtle but looks so feminine and
pretty on the nails. I usually do two coats as I like the colour to really show. The only thing is that it does chip
easily but other than I love it and will definitely repurchase it as I'm running low.

Topshop Nail Polish in Ruthless Similar Here
Towards the end of the year I wanted a deep red nail as I felt it was appropriate and this was like about £5 in
Topshop. It doesn't chip easily and you can get away with just one coat but I always like to do two. It's a colour
that I just feel suits so many people and is so inexpensive. It does suck though that I will always find a nail
polish in Topshop I love, then I can never find the same colour again.

Skincare

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water
This cleansing water is the reason that I no longer purchase face wipes any more. I've completed switched to
this and I don't think I'll ever go back. I feel like it's so much more gentle on the skin and really gets rid of all
my make-up, even the stubborn bits. It's so simple and quick to do. It doesn't dry my skin out and lasts me
absolute ages. It's usually about £5 but I normally stock up on it when it's on offer for about £2/3.

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm
After taking my make-up off with the cleansing water I like to go in with this balm to get rid of any left over
make-up and really cleanse the skin. It's pricey but so far mine has lasted me about 4 months and is still going
and I take pretty generous amounts from it. It's probably the most gentlest cleanser I've ever used. It doesn't break
me out, dry me out and doesn't leave any residue. It also gets rid of every single speck of make-up I have left
over which I love. 

Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Cleansing & Toning Lotion
Through 2014 I tried quite a few cleansing toners and I've stuck with this one. I just feel like it helps with my
blemishes and calms my skin down when I'm breaking out. It helps dry any spots out with out drying my whole
face out. 

Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Exfoliating Face Scrub
I used to be terrible with my skin care and never use to exfoliate as I had a Clarisonic so felt like I didn't have
to. I no longer use my Clarisonic as it broke as I've not got around to getting a new one. My skin can get quite
dry at times and exfoliating regularly helps get rid of any dead skin cells left over. I use to use St Ives but found
it was to harsh on my skin. This one helps with my break outs but it still not too harsh on the skin.

Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion
This is more like my no.1 moisturiser for the past few years. It's just so simple, gentle and doesn't clog my
pores. I'll always love this moisturiser and always calms my skin down is it's ever going crazy. The only
downside is that it doesn't have any SPF in it which, I would definitely prefer.

Origins High Potency Night a Mins Mineral Enriched Renewal Cream
At the beginning of 2014 I told myself I would look after my skin more. I'm only 21 but I've alwasy been told
to start looking after you skin from an early age to prevent ageing. I wanted a thick night cream to help with this
and this is what I've found and really enjoy using it. I'm still yet to invest in a eye night cream but for now this
one does the job amazingly and I always wake up with plump and glowing skin. It is pricey but I swear it will
last you ages!

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion
I literally haven't touched any of my old spot products since I bought this. This is the best out there for me
personally. I've used spot treatments for years and yeah, I've used some really good ones, but this one is on a
whole new level. With any small spots, it will get rid of them within a few days. More stubborn spot will
take a little longer but it literally gets rid of them completely. I'm trying to get better by not touching them
and just letting this lotion do it's job.

Lush Mask of Magnaminty
This has been a favourite of mine for some time now. If you have oily/acne prone skin then I promise you will
appreciate this mask!

Mario Badescu Drying Mask
I got this to go with the drying lotion and if used regularly then it really does help dry out any pesky sspots.
Also helps if you gave an oily t-zone sometimes like myself.

GlamGlow Super Mud
I swear these these mud masks are my absolute new favourite. Like ever! This one helps in clearing the face
of any blemishes and breakouts and just cleansing the skin. You can literally see it working. It pulls out all the
dirt in the pores and my face has never felt so clean after.

GlamGlow Youth Mud
This mask is more like a facial in a jar. It gives this incredible tingling effect which, I strangely really like. It
helps give my face an instant lift and glow. Definitely one to use before an even or night out.

Hair, Body & Shower

Macadamia Oil Shampoo & Moisturising Rinse
I'm sure I've spoke about this brand in a post before so I'm not going to go too much into detail with this. This
brand is one of my favourites out there. It feels like it really cleanses my hair, especially after using any
products on it. My hair always feels at it's best after using these products. 

Macadamia Deep Repair Hair Masque
This is quite an intense hair mask so I only use it every so often, but when I do, my hair has never felt so soft and
thick. It feels like it's never been touched by a product or heat. I rarely use heat or products on my hair anyway
but if  have I will use this mask to help get my hair back to it's healthy state again.

Macadamia Oil Healing Oil Treatment
I usually use this one the mid-lengths and ends on my hair when it's damp and leave it to dry naturally over
night. By morning my hair is so incredibly soft and looks so healthy. It also smells incredible and I love it when
you can still smell it in the morning.

Batiste Dry Shampoo Brown in Dark & Deep
Literally my go to dry shampoo. It does the job perfectly and has a brown colour to it so I don't get the white
powder look on my roots. Can't really fault this product!

Schwarzkopf got2b Happy Hour 24 Hour Hairspray
Again, my go to hairspray. I've used it for ages! Probably before 2014 actually.. I do love it though. It holds my
hair for a long time, gives it body and volume and smells like pina colada!

Tangle Teezer
I have no idea why I never bought one of these before! This brush does wonders. For someone with thick and
long hair it is literally a dream. If you have long or thick hair, or both, or even just hair, you need to get this!

Denman Dressing Out Brush
I love this brush for back combing/parting my hair. It's the most handiest little brush and I take it everywhere. 

Babyliss Pro Curling Wand
Like I said, I don't really use heat on my hair but when I do, I usually curl it with this wand. I've had these for
years and years and I absolutely love it. I couldn't be with out it. It gives my hair the perfect amount of curl
and helps give my hair incredible volume.

Aveeno Skin Relief Lotion
I love this lotion for my body. I get quite dry skin a lot and I will use this after I get out the shower. It keeps my
skin moisturised and so soft for days and it smells like oats which, I weirdly like.

Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Body Scrub
This is very similar to the face scrub. It's just for the body. I think it contains harsher chemicals though as it
stricly says that you cannot use this on your face. I never use to exfoliate my body as I didn't really think you
had to. Since I have dry skin I've been recommended to do it in the shower and does really help with it so much.
It also really helps with those bumps you get on the back of your arms!

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash
I'm pretty sure I've owned this body wash before it was 2014 and it's still not finished. Firstly, it smells
incredible. Seriously, go smell all the sugar crush products from S&G. You won't regret it. It also has lasted
me a ridiculous amount of time and isn't really event hat expensive. If you buy this, I swear you will only need
to buy like 1 a year. Maybe even less!

What I Got For Christmas

Hey everyone!

Hope you're all well.

I know I'm a bit behind with all this but I'm going to be showing you what I got for Christmas. This is just the

main things I got. I also got the typical alcohol and selection box's of course haha. some money and vouchers

so bought myself a few other bits on top of this but I might do a haul on all the recent things I've bought in

another post! Also, thank you to all my family for my present's. They are greatly appreciated.

Ugg Australia Fluff Flip Flop Slippers in Stone

These were probably my main gift. I already have a pair of Ugg slipper which, I love so much. These ones I

managed to get my mum to get them when they were on offer for only £40 and for Ugg slippers that's a pretty

good price! A lot of people might think they are very weird as they are slippers but also flip flops.. But I really

do love the look of them and I wear them constantly!

Urban Decay Naked Palette

I have literally wanted this palette for so long. I have the Naked 2 and Naked 3 palette's but I just either kept

forgetting to buy it or I didn't have the money when I did remember. I ended up just putting it on my Christmas

list so I knew I would finally get it. I haven't got around to using it properly yet but I know I'm going to love it.

Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 Palette

I wasn't too sure whether to even ask for this. It's very similar to the first palette but it's been getting good reviews

so I thought, why not? My younger sister bought it for me and I've only used a few shades from it so far. I love

the shades I used so, I'm happy I asked for it.

Thierry Mugler Alien Gift Set

This is definitely my signature perfume. I've used it for years and year and it's such a distinctive scent so my 

friends and family recognise it as 'my scent'. Every year I ask for a gift set of it as I run out so quickly. If you

haven't smelt this perfume, you gotta!

Michael Kors Perfume

I've never used this perfume before, but my older sister bought me the gift set as she thought I did. It's not the sort

of scent I would usually go for but for the days I want a lighter scent on me it's good to wear. It's quite a light

scent. It doesn't linger as long as my Alien perfume, but you can definitely smell it for a while.

No7 The Nail Collection Gift Set

My best friend, Jessie got me this gift set. She knows I'm into beauty and will appreciate anything beauty related.

It's a lovely little gift set. I absolutely love the colours, they're beautiful. They're very me! Thank you Jessie!

No7 Silky Leg Oil

My younger sister also know I love anything beauty so she got me this leg oil along with the next product. I've

used it once and it gave my legs such a glow. A little definitely goes a long way with this too!

No7 Intensive Radiance Body Scrub

This is the other product my younger sister bought me. I use this in the shower on my whole body and helps

really exfoliate the skin. It's also helps prep the skin for shaving.

Ugg Australia Classic Leather Shorty in Chesnut

My whole family know how much I love Ugg. My dad went and bought me these Ugg gloves. I always say how I

need to get some gloves but cheap ones usually get holes in very easily. These ones are so pretty and warm.

They're also real leather so I know will last me a long time.

Glamglow Gift Sexy Mud Masks

I have wanted to try these face masks for the longest time. I'm a hoarder when it comes to face masks. I've heard

so many incredible things about these ones so I had to get my hands on them. The fact they're so expensive is

quite off putting but the 'Gift Sexy' set of the 3 main masks is a very good idea. I'm able to try them all out at

smaller sizes to see which ones are best for me and my skin. You get the 'Supermud' and 'Youthmud' at 15g

each and the 'Thirstymud' at the full size which is 50g. so far I've used them all once and the results are so

amazing. there's nothing like any of them. I'm going to use them all a bit more and see which ones benefit me

the most.

Bobbi Brown Beauty - The Ultimate Beauty Resource

My younger sister also got me this book from Bibbi Brown. She got me a Bobbi Brown make up book last year

so she thought she would make it a thing and get me another. I've not had a chance to read through it yet but

I can't wait to have a read through!

Chanel Sunglasses Case

This was a surprise gift from my older sister and her partner. I wear glasses sometimes as I'm short sighted and I

just have the typical Specsaver's case. She knows I'm a big fan of Chanel so go me a pretty case to store my

glasses in. I was pleasantly surprised and very happy to receive this from her.

Christmas Wish List

Hello everyone!

So Christmas is in about 5 weeks.. eek! I'm already getting so excited, I've actually given my wish

list out to the family. I've also almost brought all my gifts already as I'm so organised! Plus I hate how

busy it gets nearer to Christmas. Anyway, here's a few things on my wish list this year..

Ugg Australia Fluff Flip Flop Slippers in Stone

I already own a pair of Ugg slippers and they are the most comfortable things ever! I wanted these ones

for a while. They look so cute and comfy!

Nike Free Run V2 Trainers

I've slowly started working out and I would like to start running/jogging too. I wanted some really good

but simple looking running shoes. These are pricey but hopefully that'll motivate me enough to run!

Thierry Mugler Alien Perfume

This has been my signature perfume for years but it runs out so quickly and it's not cheap/ I definitely

wouldn't mind this in my stocking this year!

Thierry Mugler Angel Perfume

This is another one of my favourite perfumes ever. It always reminds me of the colder weather and

brings back good memories.

Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 Palette

I know I'm a little late on this one but I wasn't too desperate to try this palette out as I know it is very

similar to the first one but I definitely wouldn't mind having it in my collection! It's definitely a nice little

stocking filler.

Clarisonic Mia

I really need to get a new Clarisonic as my one recently broke :(. I'm not sure how exactly, it just won't

turn on any more or even charge. I'm not fussed about any of the new Clarisonic's if I'm honest. Just the

basic Mia will make me happy!

Pretty Honest by Sali Hughes

I''m not much of a book lover but this looks like a great little read for girls who are into their make-up like myself!

The Body Book by Cameron Diaz

I know this came out a while ago but I've heard nothing but good things about this book. I'm always up

for educating myself on how to have a healthier lifestyle

Canon EOS D700

This is more of a present I will be buying myself! I need a camera to be able to focus on blogging much

more and this is the one I've been recommended to get. It's pricey but very worth it. Can't wait to finally have

my own camera!

October Favourites

Hey everyone!

I'm a little late with my favourites this month but hopefully it was worth the wait!

I've been switching up my skincare a lot recently so I've got a few new skincare products here which

I'm really excited to share with you. Plus I finally found a brow product that I absolutely love for only £6.

Enjoy!

Maybelline Brow Satin Eyebrow Pencil in Medium Brown

Im very happy with my brow routine but I'm always looking of other brow products to try out, especially if

they are cheaper! As soon as I saw the advert for this, I went straight out and bought it and now I'm obsessed.

I looks very natural and is so easy to apply. Definitely suggest it if you're a brow beginner. The only fault

with it is that the side the sponge is, has started sort of leaking. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem

but other than that it's an amazing little product.

Maybelline Color Drama Lipstick in Berry Much

I wanted to try these new lipsticks for ages! I finally got round to trying them and I bought this colour and

another colour which is a bright red and I'm so in love. I've heard mixed reviews on these but I personally love

them. They are very pigmented and last ages. Plus they don't leave your lips looking dry as they are very

moisturising as well. Pretty good for only £4.99!

Urban Decay Perversion Mascara

After my most recent post, I'm sure you can tell I really like this mascara. I won't go on as you can read what my

thoughts were on it in that post but it's the best mascara I've ever used. The primer came free with the mascara

and it really does help using it before applying the mascara. It's not the cheapest I know but it is 10% off at the

moment at Debenhams!

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm

I spoke about this cleansing balm in my latest collective haul. I'm really getting on well with it. I've had it over

a month and it's barely gone down so although it's pricey, it does last quite a while which is worth it in the

long run. It's creamy and literally takes off all my make up. I use it with a muslin cloth and my face feels so

much cleaner and moisturised after using it. I've definitely converted to cleansing balms now!

Origins High Potency Night a Mins Mineral Enriched Renewal Cream

Seeing as I'm trying to get a better skincare routine, I thought I better get a decent night cream. I've always

loved Origins products and have never had any complaint about anything I've bought from them. This cream

helps renew your skin overnight and keeps your skin looking moisturised and fights dullness. My skin looks

so much more plump and glowly (if that's even a word!) since using it!

Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Cleansing and Toning Lotion

I wanted a new toner that was a bit stronger and gave me better results. I was using Neutogena's spot stress

control cleansing lotion after I used my cleansing balm to help fight against spots but I wasn't seeing as

much of a change as I'd like. I researched others to see what the best sellers where and what things people

liked. I bought two different ones and this was one of them. I've been using it for a few weeks now and I'm

definitely seeing a different since using it! I use it night and morning after cleansing and when I wake up all

my blemished and reduced quite a bit

 Maybelline Color Drama Lipstick - Berry Much                               Maybelline Brow Satin - Medium Brown

Matalan Owl Coasters - Similar Here & Here

Having white furniture is pretty but it does mean that if I'm not careful I can leave marks which, I obviously

don't want so for a while I've been on the look out for some cute coasters. I saw these in Matalan and just had

to get them! I believe I paid about £4/£6 for them, so pretty reasonable pricing. I couldn't find the actual ones

I got online but found some similar.
