A Few Of My 2016 Christmas Gifts!

I was spoilt yet again this Christmas.

Here are just a few of the gifts I received.

I got a tube of Yankee wax tarts which I am delighted with. I can't wait to melt my favourite, which is Snowflake Cookie.

I got a cute Burt's Bees gift set with two lip balms and hand salve in a gorgeous glass pot. I thought this was a really cute gift.

I shrieked with excitement when I opened my box of Thorntons Coffee Creams. I didn't know you could buy a box with just coffee creams in and I love them.

My sister kindly surprised me with Armani Diamonds, which I have discovered to be a gorgeous fragrance!

I got my favourite moisturiser which is Clinique's Moisture Surge Intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator. I am really pleased because I had completely ran out of it.

I also got a goody bag of Avon products including this gorgeous pomegranate and mango scented body spray which is so fresh and fruity. I love it!

How I'd Spend £500.00 in Debenhams!

If I had £500.00 to blow in Debenhams here is how I would do it.

I'd start off with Marc Jacobs Divine Decadence. The 100ml eau de parfum is £96.00. I love the original Decadence. I wore it yesterday and could smell it all day!

Next I would pick up Too Faced Candlelight glow powder for £25.00.

I would buy two new MAC make-up brushes; MAC 239 eyeshader brush for £21.00 and MAC 227 large fluff brush £23.50.

I would try Kat Von D's Studded Kiss lipstick for £16.00. I'm not a huge fan of the packaging. It looks rather bulky but look at the cute little Kat Von D logo on the lipstick and how nice is the colour in the picture?

I don't think I've ever bought clothes from Wallis before but they have loads of lovely stuff at the minute. This gorgeous, berry top is £35.00.

MAC's dusky rose eyeshadow palette is just £25.00 which I think is amazing value.

If £500.00 doesn't make itself available for me to blow I will be putting Clinique's Moisture Surge Intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator on my Christmas list. It is £34.00 for 50ml. I had a 15ml sample of this a while ago and loved it!

Tom Ford's White Patchouli is £108.00 for 100ml. It is another long lasting scent and it has been on my want list for years.

I would also get myself a Clinique chubby stick intense moisturising lip colour balm for £17.50.

Another purchase I would make would be Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair Serum for £72.00.

I also love this cute Red Herring white pompom hat which is only £8.00.

My final purchase would be this Miss Selfridge gingham pink/cream/camel scarf, which is £16.00 and takes my total spend to £497.00.

I think that would be £497.00 well spent!

October Favourites 2015!

October is possibly my favourite month of the year. I love autumn!
Here are some of the things I've been loving this month.

Chloe by Chloe is one of my favourite fragrances and I have worn it a lot this month. I wear perfume every day, but people don't often comment on it. I have had two compliments this week about my perfume when I was wearing this. I think it is stronger and longer lasting than most of my other fragrances without being overpowering.

Clinique Comforting Cream Cleanser is my favourite cleanser at the moment. It easily removes all of my make-up and leaves no sticky or greasy residue on my skin.

MUA or MakeUp Academy's Undress Me Too eyeshadow palette has had a lot of use this month. I have been loving the gold shades. The pigmentation is great and the palette only costs £4.00.

I love Clarins Double Serum. It gives my skin a boost and makes it appear more radiant. I have been using this a lot this month. It is expensive, but I think it is worth it.

Lolita Lempicka's Minuit Sonne is another fragrance I have been using quite a lot this month. I love the intense liquorice flower note in it. This is easily one of my top ten perfumes.

I have been loving my elf professional eyeshadow brush this month. It has been my go to brush for applying eye shadow. It is good quality and only costs £2.00.

I have finally started burning my Yankee Christmas Cookie candle this month and I love it. It is a sickly, bakery-sweet scent, but nothing I can't deal with. I have to say although I love Christmas Cookie, I love the Snowflake Cookie Yankee candle more, which I had last winter. It was a light pink colour and it was also a sickly, bakery-sweet scent. I haven't seen that one in the shops this year, but it is available on yankeecandle.co.uk.

July Favourites 2015!

There are a few things I've been loving this month that I thought I should share.

I have been using Tresemme's colour protect hair conditioner even though my hair is not coloured. I love the scent of Tresemme and it is really nourishing. I really noticed the difference when I had used this up and started using a different conditioner. I really love this product!

I bought this silver rhodolite flower ring a few months ago from QVC. I have been wearing it loads recently. It has lots of sparkle.

I'm really happy with my mascara at the moment. I am using Maybelline's Rocket mascara. It is waterproof (although you can get a non-waterproof version) and although the brush looks like nothing special I find that it coats my lashes really well. I think this may have to be a repurchase!

I have had a sample pot of Clinique's Moisture Surge Intense cream for a while and I am down to the very last few applications now. I absolutely love it. It is really light and hydrating. I often use it underneath my concealer to make sure it doesn't go cakey.

I bought a bottle of this Radox pink grapefruit and basil shower gel a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. It has a really strong, refreshing scent that really wakes you up. I will definitely be buying it again.

I bought this MakeUp Revolution lipstick in shade Treat. It is a nude pink shade and it goes on so easily. It only cost £1.00 from Superdrug and I think it is better quality than my £40.00 Tom Ford lipstick! The only annoying thing about it is the lid keeps coming off when it is in my handbag!

I love my black jeans by The Collection at Debenhams. I don't wear jeans a lot, but these are really comfortable and they fit perfectly. I don't even have to wear a belt with them.

I am still loving my New Look boots which I have previously posted about and I think they featured in my March favourites! They are really comfortable and I love the look of them! I wish I had bought ten pairs as I feel as though when these are worn out I'm going to be looking for another pair of boots like these for the rest of my life!

My March Favourites 2014!

Here are some of my beauty favourites that I've been using recently.

I love The Body Shop's Satsuma soap. It smells delicious. The scent is really intense and it is really creamy and it never leaves my skin feeling dry.

Soap and Glory's The Scrub Of Your Life is my favourite product by Soap and Glory. It has their signature scent, which I find I like in some products more than others. It is lovely in this scrub. The scrub can be used as harsh or as gentle as you like by applying more or less pressure to your skin. It's the best body scrub I have ever used.

I love Avon's Advance Techniques hair masks. I bought a few of them when they were on offer a while ago. I have used the colour protection version and the damage repair version and they are both lovely to use and they smell great.

I have worked my way through all of Impulse's body sprays over the years, but Sweet Smile (in the yellow packaging) and the Limited Edition Secret Smile (the silver and red design) are my favourite scents.
Sweet Smile is pear and jasmine scented. It is really summery and uplifting.
Secret Smile is raspberry and gardenia scented. It is really sweet and fruity. The combination of notes works perfectly.

My favourite face mask to use is this Montagne Jeunesse cucumber peel-off masque. It really does peel off so there's no time wasted rinsing it, which can be quite a chore with some masks that I've used. It leaves my skin feeling lovely and soft.

My sister gave me some Aussie Mega Street Art shampoo. It smells really nice. It has an intense, fruity scent, which lingers on my hair.

I love my Clinique moisturiser. It feels so light and bouncy compared to all of my other creams. It has lasted me a good few months and my pot still looks pretty full.

My Dr Jart BB Cream has lasted me about 9 months so far. The Regenerating BB Cream is quite a light colour, which suits my pale complexion. It makes my skin look moisturised and healthy.

Last, but not least is Baylis and Harding's rose, ylang-ylang and patchouli body cleanser. Baylis and Harding's bath and shower products have a lovely jelly-like feel to them and they literally wobble on your hand.
Dominated by the rose, the scent of this one is amazing. I love it!
