Autumn Wishlist

Hello everyone!!

Today I have a little autumn wish list for y'all. Lately I have been lusting over a few items for the autumn season and thought I would share them with you. The first being a new autumn/winter jacket, it is a navy parka from H&M and I love it. I seen this greyish jumper from H&M the other day in store and fell in love but they did not have my size so I’m on the hunt for this but it is so cosy and would be perfect for the colder weather. The next two items are beauty products, a nail polish and an eye shadow. The nail polish is from the Barry M gelly range in Paprika and it is this gorgeous burnt orange colour, perfect for autumn. The eye shadow is cranberry from MAC, my sister owns this but I hate having to ask her for it so I think its time I bought my own. The next thing is from the new Zoella beauty range and its one of her makeup bags; I love the design of this and think it’s really cute. I do not really need a new makeup bag but I love this one. The last thing is a candle from Village Candle and it’s in the scent spiced pumpkin. I love all things pumpkin scented so I cannot wait to smell this.

Autumn TAG!!

Hello everyone!!

Today I am going to be doing the Autumn Tag 2014 that I seen a few people do and  decided because I love tags & Autumn I would do it. As it is autumn and of course that is my favourite season I thought it would be appropriate to do an Autumn Tag. 

  1.    Ok, we are talking coffees – what is your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks? 

I love Pumpkin spice lattes; they are delicious and always make me feel so cosy. Every time I get it, I automatically have a smile on my face because it just makes me so happy. I also love the smell of it when I open the lid, it just screams AUTUMN!!!!

2.    Accessories – what do you opt for, scarf, boots, gloves.

As soon as it starts to get colder, I tend to start buying beanie hats. They are a staple for autumn/winter time, they make your head warm but some of them are awesome looking. I love the ones with a bobble at the end.

3.    Music – what is your favourite music to listen to during autumn?

My music taste does not really change throughout the year apart from Christmas time when I sing Christmas songs all day. Autumn time just calls for the same music I listen to all year round.

4.    Perfume – what’s your favourite scent for this time of year?

This is a hard one... I do not have any perfumes that smell of autumn scents but lately I have been loving Philosophy Living Grace. Even though it is a rather fresh scent and normally associated with summer, I have been wearing it a lot lately.

5.    Candles – what scents will you be burnings this season?

Anything with Cinnamon & Pumpkin in it is all I burn. When I was in NYC earlier in the year I picked up a couple of Bath and Body Works candles in Mahogany Teakwood and have saved them just for Autumn. 

6.    What do you love most about Autumn?

Crunchy leaves & Halloween are my favourite!!! I also love the colours (oranges, burgundy, purples etc), pumpkins, the changing of the leaves, baking things with cinnamon flavours. Oh, I just love everything about autumn.

7.    Favourite makeup look?

I love darker lips, like a berry colour. I really like using a lot warmer colours such as orange in my eye makeup as I think it just looks so pretty.

8.    What are you looking forward to most in autumn?

I am so looking forward to HALLOWEEN this year, even though I always do. I'm most excited about all the things I have planned to bake. When I was younger, we used to always carve pumpkins but as the years went on that tradition faded, so maybe this year I will carve one again.

Thank you all for reading & I hope you do it too!!!

Spring Wishlist 2014

Hello everyone, happy April!! This year is going by so fast, its hard to believe it's already April. Today I thought I would show you a mini little wishlist of things I've been lusting over for the past few days now. Like most people I am in love with the film Frozen and when I seen this phone case I knew I had to get it. Its from eBay and its currently on my watch list and very soon it will be mine. The "You Can't Sit With Us" t-shirt is also from eBay and I've been wanting to buy one of these t-shirts for a while now because I am a huge fan of Mean Girls. There has been a few beauty products I have since going about and I've seen them in store but I'm yet to buy them. The first being the Revlon Colorburst lacquer balm in Provocateur. I seen this in boots the other day and swatched it but the only one left was the tester so I'll need to wait till its back in my local stores but its such a beautiful colour. Another new product I have been wanting to try is the Bourjois 123 Perfect foundation. I have been on the lookout for a new foundation but I have yet to find out that I like so I'm hoping this will work well with my skin and make me look flawless. The last product on my wishlist is a nail polish from the Rita Ora Rimmel nailpolish line and the colour that caught my eye is Pillow Talk. I think its the perfect colour for Spring and it has a nice shimmer to it which is different from most of the pastel nail polishes I already own.

I hope you enjoyed seeing what is on my Spring Wish List.

Sunday; Beauty Scenario Tag

Hello everyone!! I recently saw Eden from beautybyeden do the Beauty Scenario Tag and decided to do it aswell so here is my answers :

1. You have to get rid of all your foundations and you can only keep one high end and one drugstore, which do you keep?

I would keep Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer and Rimmel match perfection

2. You go for an interview and the lady interviewing you has lipstick on her teeth. Do you approach the subject or ignore it completely?

I would probably leave it, I hate telling people things like that.

3. You're not feeling yourself and need a pick me up. Which lipstick do you put on to make yourself feel beautiful?

Mac Cockney. Its just so pretty!!

4. You go back in time for a day to your teenage years, how would you do your hair and makeup differently?

I'm still in my teenage years and when I was younger I never really wore makeup. I would probably wear my hair down a lot more because I always wore it in a ponytail.

5. You ask your hairdresser for a shoulder length Pixie Lott hair cut, but they hear wrong and give you a pixi cut. Do you a) Smile, say thank you, leave and call your mum hysterical b) Cry in the chair and things get awkward or c) Complain to the manager and demand a refund.

I'm the type of person that would definitely complain and demand a refund. 

6. Your friend surprises you with a 4 day city break and you have 1 hour to pack. Which 'do it all' palette do you pack in your makeup 

I would probably pack my Urban Decay naked basics palette. Its got all the colours I need and its pretty small so thats a plus side. 

7. Your house has been robbed, don't worry- everyone is safe, but your beauty stash has been raided. What's the product you really hope is safe?

My Mac Cockney lipstick

8. Your friend borrows your makeup and returns it in awful condition. Do you a) Just pretend you haven't noticed b) Ask them to repurchase it or c) Secretly do the same to something of theirs

This is a tough one because its a friend so I probably would just pretend I hadn't noticed 

Thanks for reading and I tag everyone to do this!!

Valentine's Day Box Swap - The Goodies!!

Hello everyone!! 

If you remember I wrote this post about a Valentine's day box swap that Lucie from fatbeautyx and Samantha from mascaraandcakes   were hosting & I was taking part. So on Valentine's day I received my box from the lovely Rachael from Allthelittlethingsx. I've read her blog for a while now & I love it, the style and presentation of her blog is just lovely. She is also very pretty and has beautiful hair so you should definitely check her blog out. I'm so thankful for everything that she got me and I love each product she picked out for me, so thank you so much Rachael.

 Very sparkly!!!!!

 The inside with a lovely little letter.

 Think Pink Bath Ballistic from Lush which smells amazing, I don't actually own a bath but found out if I just break it up I can use it in the shower.

 Mustache tissues. If anyone knows me they will know I love mustaches which makes these even more awesome and they are so handy to put in my school bag.

 Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me. She said she swears by this and I did as well until I missed placed mine so now I have a replacement.

 Topshop lipstick in Really Ruby. I'm a huge fan of red lipsticks after falling in love with Mac's cockney so this may become a new favourite very soon.

 Nivea Hand cream

 Bourjois Bronzing Powder. This product is one that my sister introduced me to and I only ever use her so its perfect that I now have my own one and it smells amazing.

Lastly, Rachael also got me a cute heart shaped chocolate lolly from Thorntons which has been eaten and it was delicious  Thank you once again Rachael I loved everything and can't wait to try out my new products.

I am incredibly thankful for my box and had a great experience participating in the Valentine's Day box swap and can't wait to try out my new products. I hope you enjoyed reading and seeing what I received.

My Christmas Wishlist 2013

Hello everyone!! I thought I would show you some of the things on my wishlist this year, I took items from each category on my list & made a little collage. 

1. Tartan dress - This one is from new look and I've seen it in stores and love it, its such a pretty dress and fits in with the tartan trend aswell. 

2. Camera Lens Mug - I have wanted one of these for the longest time. Its such a novelty gift but it represents my love for photography.

3. Edge You Think You Know Me DVD - I am a major wrestling fan and Edge is one of my favorites so it wouldn't be right if I didn't own his DVD.

4. Mini Zara Office Bag - There was a massive hype on the blogging world a few months ago for the original office bag from Zara but I much prefer the smaller one as its cute but very practical. I have been needing a new bag for a few months as my last few bags zips are broken so this would be perfect. 

5. Topshop Lipstick in Screen Siren - I have only ever owned nail polish from the Topshop makeup range and when I seen this colour of lipstick I just knew I had to add it to my Christmas list.

6. Chunky Knits Wash Bag - This must be the cutest wash/makeup bag I've seen and I feel the need to own it as my other makeup bags don't live up to this standard.

What have you asked for this Christmas?

I hope you enjoyed seeing some of the items on my Christmas wishlist this year. Have a lovely day!!

Halloween 2013

Hello everyone, I thought it was about time I shared what I dressed up as for Halloween.

This year I decided on Ursula, one of my favourite Disney character, my sister done the make-up (which took 3 hours), borrowed the corset from my other sister, already owned the skirt and shirt and made the rest. I sewed two pieces of material together, stuffed it with wire and wool then sewed bottle tops to each tentacle and tied to a belt. I think it was one of my best costumes yet even though it took the most amount of work.

Thanks for reading
