London Haul!

Hey Everyone,

This is going to be my first haul post! So, I don't do big shopping hauls very often - I normally accumulate lots of things over a period of time! (Poor student!) But as I was in London, I thought "Why not?" :P

Here we go - first stop was MAC :)

I love MAC products - and these three products have been on my MAC wishlist for a long time! Firstly, I bought Pro Long wear Foundation (NC15), I've never owned this before but I had tried it many times (from my sister!) I also bought two pan eyeshadows - Carbon and Sketch.







Next stop was Space NK, another shop I'm obsessed with :P There are so many things I want to try out, but when I saw they stocked the Glam Glow Youth mud Treatment - I had to get it! This has been talked about a lot on the internet and I caved! A full review will be posted soon on this!



















Also made a stop at Muji where I bought two of their tinned candles! Winter berry and Black tea, and Cinnamon and Mandarin -  both to me are awesome winter scents! I also bought a small notebook - for blog writing purposes :P










Finally, in a moment of weakness at the train station, I stopped at Lush. I had planned to wait until I got home to purchase these, but I bought some Xmas presents and decided I'd get something for myself too. I got the Melting Snowman Bath Melt (which I had last year and loved it!!) and the new Santa's Lip scrub which smells amazing!



I hope you enjoyed this post and have a lovely day!

The Countdown has begun...

Hey Everyone,

This post is to get everyone excited about CHRISTMAS!!! Around this time of year, I honestly turn into one big kid :P and I just get sooooo excited for Xmas Day! :D 

Here is a picture of me yesterday, getting ready to open the first window of my advent calendar! :D (I know this picture makes it look like I'm not wearing a top but I am!) I not only have that advent calendar - I have 3! 

And it is time to get out your Xmas Jumpers, yay!!

I ended up picking this one from Boohoo - which I just think is great! :D Not only is it a gorgeous forest green but it also has a quote from one of the best Xmas movies of all time! (Do you know which one?)  

More pictures of my feet! I decided to paint them a nice festive metallic red from Butter London called "Knees Up". I just feel so Christmas-y! :D

Then, finally, I have started burning a festive smelling candle in my room! :) (You know I love candles!) 

Cinnamon and Mandarin - smells like Xmas is coming people!

I'd love to know what you guys do to start feeling festive! Let me know in the comments! :D


I hope you enjoyed this post and have a lovely day!

October Favourites!

Hey Everyone,

So, I am sorry this is late! I totally forgot to do this post! Bad blogger!
Every month I shall try to do a monthly favourites post - but I shall warn you; as I'm a poor student don't be surprised if I repeat products that I have already mentioned in other posts!
To save these posts from being too long, I'm only going to mention 5 favourites. They will be from the following categories:-
1) Make up 2) Skincare 3) Hair care 4) Random 5) An extra item from one of the 4 categories!

Let's jump into it!

1) Make Up - NARS Ita brush #21

Okay, so you might not call this a make up item - but it is a make up accessory...so I say it counts!
I've been watching beauty gurus such as Shaaanxo and Claire Marshall use this brush for so long now. I really really wanted to try it; but it's a pricey brush! So I turned to eBay - and there it was for £10.99! Honestly, it looks real and feels real - but even if it's not, I don't care it does the job! I love this brush and if you can afford to buy it from NARS than go for it! Highly recommend this brush for a sharp, clean contour!

2) Skincare - Vaseline Spray & Go body moisturizer in cocoa radiant

Now, I mentioned this in my Beauty Blogger Tag...I am useless when it comes to body moisturizer. I just hate the whole process of having to rub it in for 10 minutes and having to let it dry! So I never did it - until now!
This stuff is amazing; it smells like the regular formula moisturizer and it literally drys in seconds! It leaves my skin feeling soft and smelling great.

3) Hair care - Paul Mitchell Extra-body Sculpting Foam

Again, I have talked about this in more depth in my After Shower Hair Products post. So I won't say too much about it, only that it is awesome and that you need to try it!

On a side note - don't expect much variation in this category; as I rarely change what I use in my hair. This is just because I'm quite happy with what I use at the moment :)

4) Random Favourite - IKEA's Tindra scented candle in Tropical Fruit

Normally, this time of year, I love a warmer scented candle or a cake-inspired scent. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I started loving this fragrance - the orange colour was just perfect coming up to Halloween. Though the scent is not strong with this candle - I still love burning it for a hint of sweetness in my room.

5) Extra Make up - Stila stay all day waterproof liquid eye liner in Intense Black

This had to be mentioned; as I've been using this almost everyday this month and I LOVE IT! I have tried a lot of liquid liners and this is my fave so far! To see a more in depth review please refer to my first blog.

I hope you enjoyed this monthly favourites, sorry again that it was late. I will be staying on top of it for November!

I hope you have a lovely day!
