November Wish List!

Aloha!

 

It is currently nearly half way through the month which means I have already started thinking about what I am going to buy with my next wage ;) There are so many things I would like, but a few things I am deffinitley considering spending my next wage on are listed below. I have also started buying Christmas presents for people! So expect my very own Christmas Wish List coming soon : )

 

 

I have wanted a pair of Ugg Meenas for ever! They are just the cutest little things ever! They look so cosy yet not as full on as Ugg boots. I have about 3 pairs of Ugg boots and my latest pair are nearly done with the amount I wear them!

 

 

 

Elle at Dreaming in Blush absolutely swears by this Christian Dior Creme de Rose Smoothing plumping lip balm. I watch all her youtube videos and she makes out that its the holy grail of lip products. I must have this!! Also, its meant to smell absolutely gorgeous!! 

 

 

I have just about finished my bottle of foundation so am looking for a new one. I have heard such good things about this Chanel Perfection Lumiere Fluid foundation. And based on my latest Chanel products it must be amazing! 

 

 

As it is starting to get colder, I have been wearing my Hollister parka to work. However, I don't think it goes well with my usual work attire so I would love to get a trench coat/mac. This one from Gant is lovely and looks really sophisticated!

 

 

I am absolutely obsessed with buying stuff for my home. I love neutral colours like creams and have been looking for a new rug for my living room for ages! This one from IKEA is deffinitley the one, so I'm going to start nagging Guy to go halfers with me when we get paid ;)

 

 

Lately to wind down before bed, I have been lighting a candle. I feel like it really helps me relax and de-stress me, however my current Yankee bedside candle I have is nearly gone. I think its called Sparkling Snow from last years Christmas collection. These large candles burn for about 110 hours so they're absolutely a must for the cold winter nights to come! I am deffinitley getting Yankee Candle's Snowflake Cookie on my next shopping trip!

 

This wish list has turned into a 'deffinitley getting when I get paid list', ha ha! What are you guys wanting to get when you next get paid? Let me know in the comments below : )

PS. I will be announcing the winner of my 50 followers giveaway shortly ; )

Autumn Wish List

Afternoon Love Bugs!

So I’ve noticed a couple of bloggers do wish lists so I thought it would be a fun idea for a post! Below is a list of lots of different things I would like to purchase on payday including makeup, clothes, candles and more!

#1 – Chanel’s Autumn Collection

I want every single thing in Chanel’s Autumn collection! The colours are absolutely beautiful! The only thing I am not 100% sure on is the blush…it’s a bit too reddish for me. I usually wear more pastel colours on my cheeks, but would love to give it a try!

#2 – Boots

 

 Oh my goodness! These little booties from New Look are the cutest boots I’ve ever seen! I must have them! I need a new pair of boots as my uggs are a bit too cozy for this time of year. I prefer to wear my uggs more in the winter.

 

#3 – Marshmallow Fireside by Bath & Body Works

Absolutely adore this scent. I got it last year and used it pretty quickly because I was burning it non-stop! As I don’t live in America, hopefully I’ll be able to purchase this candle of either eBay or thebathandbodyshop.com.

#4 – MAC’s lightful cleanser

This product looks and sounds amazing! Will take a break from my usual Clinique skin care regime just to try this product out!

What’s your wish list dolls? Let me know in the comments below : )

The Autumn Tag

Tag creator - www.makeup-pixi3.com

I spotted this tag on www.makeup-pixi3.com and thought it was an excellent idea for a post! I am going to tag some fellow bloggers at the end of this post but feel free to do the tag!   1.    Favourite thing about autumn? Oh that’s hard! I don’t think I only have one main favourite to be honest. I love everything about autumn. The colours (leaves, fashion), smells (burning leaves), tastes (pumpkin spiced lattes)…everything!!   2.    Favourite drink? It has to be either the pumpkin spiced lattes that Starbucks do at this time of year or Nescafe’s instant gingerbread latte! Wouldn’t say no to a hot chocolate though ;)   3.    Favourite scent/candle? Well I’ve already mentioned that I love the smell of burning leaves. So candle wise, I love Yankee candle ‘blissful autumn’ and ‘fireside treats’.   4.    Best lipstick? I usually stick to the same colours all year round which is bad! So I am gonna try hard to work a dark lip this fall/winter. I particularly like the vampy look.   5.    Go to moisturiser? Definitely Clinique’s dramatically different moisture lotion for combination/oily skin J   6.    Go to colours for the eyes? I always tend to do a smokey eye, usually like to use brighter colours in the spring/summertime but I love a dark smokey eye for the fall.   7.    Favourite music or band/singer to listen to? I love to listen to Paramore and Florence & the Machine at this time of year. I think Hayley’s and Florence’s voice are really suited to the colder months if that makes sense!   8.    Favourite outfit to wear? Layers! Lots and lots of layers!! Boots/uggs, leg warmers, tights, shorts, vest, long cardigan and a scarf!   9.    Autumn treat? Lots and lots of cuddles to keep warm!   10. Favourite place to be? Definitely at home, with candles lit, watching a film, drinking hot chocolate whilst cuddling into my boyfriend and kitten.   Hope you have enjoyed reading my answers!  The people I have tagged are as follows:

Bath Body Works Pumpkin Cupcake Deep Cleansing Hand Soap Review

Oh my days, where do I start?!

Okay so, I absolutely adore Bath & Body works products to the extent that I pay double for their candles on eBay, but I’m gonna let you in on a little secret…there is a place in the UK that sells B&BW products!! It’s called the bathandbodyshop.co.uk. It sells tonnes of different B&BW products including candles, hand soaps and even pillow spray! I check the site every day for the latest products.

So yeah, back to my addiction. As I am obsessed with nice festive smells, I always try and stay as up-to-date as possible with the hand soaps I have in my bathroom. Be it a fresh summery smell like aloha orchid or a Christmassy scent like iced gingerbread, I feel that it’s nice for guests (and myself) to use instead of your basic everyday hand soap. However, as I purchase these hand soaps online, I like to make sure that I actually enjoy the scent. So I usually purchase a hand sanitiser first, see if I like it, then I will buy the hand soap. I bought the pumpkin cupcake hand sanitiser about 2 weeks ago and absolutely fell in love! It smells like pumpkins, gingerbread and sugary vanilla and it simply is the most festive smell ever, its perfect for this time of year! I also feel that it is a unique scent that sums up autumn turning into winter, if you know what I mean.

I highly recommend this product, not just because of the smell, but also because it’s the best cleansing soap I have ever used. It leaves your hands feeling so clean, but also moisturised! The ideal combination!

Do you guys like B&BW hand soaps? If so, what one is your favourite??

Pretty Little Things

A couple of weeks ago I went home to visit my mum. She took me and my boyfriend out for lunch then took us to a lovely little antiques shop where we picked up a couple of things for the flat. I absolutely adore the shabby chic look just now, so the majority of our items were just that.

My dressing table was purchased out of that antique shop when we first moved in....

Out little bedside column was the perfect location for our new bird cage mirror.

This is the storm lantern we got, which was our favourite find! We placed some church pillar candles inside and it looks beautiful at night. I think some fairy lights would look gorgeous inside it at Christmas time...

What do you guys think? : )

xoxo

Ps. Almost forgot to include this unique little piece...the birdcage and column were also bought from the antique shop but the little owl was purchased from the garden centre where we had lunch : )
