Beauty Wish List

Over the past few months I have started to have more of an interest in wearing make-up and I'm actually loving it! I'm not the best at doing make-up but the more I do it the better I'll get at it I guess.

Holiday Essentials

Hello lovelies! Hope you are all having a good Monday so far :) Todays post includes items I feel are essential to take on holiday with you so I wanted to share them with you.

Summer Time Sadness - Summer Wishlist

Gooooood afternoon! Over the past few days it has been so sunny here in Scotland and actually really warm so it has totally been getting me in the mood for Summer!!! 
Summer is definitely my favourite season of the year as I just love wakening up with the sun shining through the curtains and love sitting out in it catching some rays! 
The one thing that I love most about it is wearing Summery clothes so I thought why not make a wish list with some summary items that I want for this Summer :)

5 Red Nail Polishes I Love

 I find myself always going to these 5 nail polishes whenever I want to paint my nails red so thought why not do a blog post to share them with you guys? 

A Girl Can Dream...

1. TopShop Faux Fur Leather Jacket - £58.00
2. Blue V Neck Backless Flare Dress - £21.00
3. Pandora March Birthstone Earrings - £45.00
4. Bikini So Teeny Essie Nail Polish - £7.99
5. Black Mini Structured Tote Bag - £30.00
6. Black Chunky Cut Out Boots - £30.00

I absolutely love everything in this wish list! I've asked for the leather jacket for my Christmas as I have a thing for them and love them and when they have a fur colour I fall even more in love with them! This one is the same as my other leather jacket with the white fur colour but I need it in black!!! I hope you're reading this Santa :P I've also just realised that this wish list is very similar to that one haha! 

I'm sure I've included the earrings in another one as well but I still want them :( I have the ring so need to matching earrings duh! Haha! As for the dress oh.my.god! This is just gorgeous and it's from Amazon and only £21.00!!! It looks really good quality but who knows if it actually is. It also comes in black, baby pink and white which are all gorgeous! I would probably get it in all colours haha! Unfortunately, as it's low cut I don't think it would look good on me as I'm not very busty so don't have the boobs for it :( Oh well.

The bag and boots are just a must have for this time of year! I've wanted these boots for a long time but they are quite expensive so these ones from New Look aren't too expensive and look very similar apart from they don't have the gold detailing. 

To finish off the outfit this nail polish from Essie is just gorgeous and goes so well with the dress!

New Beauty Wish List

                     

1. Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs - Everyone has gone mad for this new fragrance and I don't blame them. Look at just how gorgeous the bottle is! I haven't smelt this perfume yet so I don't know what the scent is like but I imagine it will be lovely!
2. Tangle Teezer - I still haven't tried a tangle teezer but really want to although I think they are quite expensive. This one really stood out to me as the colours are so bright and go well together.
3. OPI Can't Find My Czechbook - How amazing is this colour? It would look soooo nice and especially at this time of year!
4. Ted Baker Wash Bag - This wash bag is so cute! I think Ted Baker's stuff is gorgeous and so girly so this would be lovely to have to put all my beauty things in when travelling.

5. EOS Organic Lip Balm - I've only tried the strawberry EOS lip balm and loved it! The fact that this one is organic really intrigues me.

6. Essie Sittin' Pretty Nail Polish - Absolutely love this colour of purple! I am a sucker for pastel colours. I need this in my life!

7. MAC Ruby Woo Lipstick - So I am trying to be more adventurous now and wanting to try out some make-up products. Nothing like foundation or that but I would love to just go for a bright red lipstick to see what I would like so this one would be perfect!

Drug Store Haul

                       

1. Batiste Dry Shampoo XXL Volume - £1.97, this is on sale at the moment normally £3.99.
2. Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturiser - £4.99, bit pricey for this but I really like the idea of it and want to try it!
3. Iced Strawberry Dream Bath Shower Gel - £2.99, I've had a sniff of this before and all the other ones in the range and they smell amazing!! There's also a marshmallow one which is the best!
4. Soap and Glory Foam Call Bath and Shower Wash - £6.50, I find the Soap and Glory stuff quite expensive and have never actually bought any myself as I've only ever been given the products as gifts but as these are always on a 3 for 2 offer I think it's not too bad! I looooooove the smell of this!
5. Essie Nail Polish Lovie Dovie - £7.99, On the expensive side for a nail polish as you all know how I feel about nail polishes over £5.00 I think are expensive! This colour is gorge though!
6. Balmi Cube Lip Balm Mint - £4.99, This is the UK's equivalent lip balm to the EOS lip balms in America. I really want to try these as they look great but I really hope they're not an over rated item like the Babylips were/are.
7. Soap and Glory Glad Hair Day Conditioner - £5.50, Another Soap and Glory item. I need conditioner for my hair as it's just a big tangled mess without it and I can't get a brush through it! I'm yet to find the perfect one for my hair and have heard good things about this one.

Gorgeous Heart Shaped Wall Mount

Hiya! Just a quick post today to show off my new bargain find from B&M. I saw this on Becca's blog, who is one of my fave YouTubers, and I fell in love with it! I was so shocked when I found out where it was from as it looks like something you would find in the Next Home department. This was only £14.99 which I think is amazing! I love all the different little departments in it which I just put some of my favourite nail polishes on them and some perfumes. I also got the Katy Perry 'Purr' perfume from B&M which was also another bargain at just £5! It is only a 15ml bottle but it's perfect for throwing in my bag.

My Bargain Finds

Happy Friday everyone! I wanted to share a few bargains that I found this week with you! I'm starting to run out of dry shampoo and I wanted to get some more but I think the price for a can is quite a bit expensive. I got a deal last time on Groupon where you got 6 full size cans for £12.99 so me and my friend split the cost and got 3 each which was great! So I Googled dry shampoo and the website Chemist Direct was the first one that showed up. I clicked on it and found that they were doing all the different scents of Batiste dry shampoo for the same deal 6 full size cans for £12.00! So a bit cheaper than the deal I got on Groupon which was only on for a limited time. I've always wanted to try the cherry one as cherry is one of my fave scents so I decided to get 6 of them! The only thing is that you can't mix and match them in the deal but if you wanted to do that you could just pay for them separately I guess :). So yeah....these will last me forever!! I also got the 2 BarryM nail polishes from the same website and were only £2.15 each! They have tons of other brands as well so check it out! The Essie polishes are from another website called Direct Cosmetics and these were only £3.99 each which is amazing because it's basically half price as to what you would pay from getting them in Superdrug or Boots!

  

  

       1. BarryM - "Mint Green"

2. BarryM - "Pink Flamingo"

3. Essie - "Butler Please"

4. Essie - "Where's my chauffeur?"

5. Essie - "She's Pampered"

Essie Wish List

I looooooove Essie nail polishes but still think they are on the expensive side for a nail polish. I own two from this brand and love them! I love the size of their brushes and how quickly they dry. I do hope to own more in the future and hopefully find them cheaper some where :P These are my faves at the moment and hope to add them to my collection :) xoxo

My 2013 Favourites

Hey everyone! I hope all of you have had a lovely Christmas and that Santa was good to you! He definitely was to me! So seeing as 2013 is coming to an end I thought I'd do a post of the products that I've been loving this year! Some of which I have used till they're finished! So let's get to it:

1. Sure for Women - Radiant

This is my favourite deodorant ever! It lasts all day for me and leaves me feeling fresh! I love the scent aswell.

2. Batiste Dry Shampoo - Cool and crisp fresh

I only started using dry shampoo half way through this year as I never really had the urge to try it but one day after hearing everyone raving on about how good it is, I decided to give it a go. There was actually an offer on groupon that got me to buy it. The deal was something like get 6 full size cans for £12.99 and they are like £3.99 a can or something? So me and my friend decided to split the cost and got 3 each. This dry shampoo is amazing! It's great for just giving your hair that extra boost and to make it feel fresh! I rely on it a bit too much sometimes but shhhh.

3. Katy Perry Perfume - Meow

My favourite perfume of the year! I got this last Christmas and have finished the bottle! I need to replace this!

4.Organic Surge Moisturiser

I got this moisturiser in my first Glossy box and have used it since. I needed a new moisturiser and this one is really good. My skin is always so dry after coming out of the shower which I guess happens to most people so when I put this on it moisturises so good! Not quite finished it but it's getting to the bottom of the tub.

5. Vaseline - Aloe vera

My all time favourite lip product! I can rave on and on about how good Vaseline but I don't want to bore you! I just think it's amazing!!! And I can't believe I have actually finished a tin!! I always always ALWAYS lose them! Haha!

6. Essie Nail polish - We're in it together

I just love this nail polish. The colour is so gorgeous and it has a slight shimmer to it. I love the size of the Essie brushes which makes it so easy to apply.

7. Primarks eye liner in black

I've already done a review on this eye liner so go here to see what I think about it ;)

8. Soap and Glory - Spray on body moisturising mist

Again I've only recently started using Soap and Glory products as I've seen most bloggers rave about it. I was tidying out my drawers one day when I came across a gift set I had received one birthday and totally forgot about which had mini sized products in it from the soap and glory range. This was my favourite one. It smells amazing! I spray this on after coming out of the shower.

9. OPI - The spy who loved me

This is another amazing nail polish! It's from the James Bond - Skyfall collection and it's perfect for Christmas time! I've had it on all month. It's got gorgeous gold glitter in it and is just stunning.

What are your 2013 fave products? xoxo

Superdrugs New Stand

Eeeeeeee!!! So I went into Superdrug (which is a drugstore in case any of you Americans don't know :P) today for a nosy since they've been refurbished and I wanted to look at the BarryM stand where I came across a new stand.......ESSIE!!! I have never seen an Essie stand before so I was so excited when I seen it! Although I do think they are quite expensive my aim is to buy 1 or 2 every month when I get paid for a little treat to myself :P There are sooooo many colours to choose from it's going to be difficult but I'll manage :) I just wanted to share this with you in case you didn't know either! If you have a favourite Essie nail polish then pleeeeeeease let me know which one it is so I can have a look and try it out :D xoxo
