Christmas Wish List 2014


It's almost Christmas!!! I need a moment. Christmas is most definitely my favourite time of year because it's a time for loving, sharing and appreciating those around you. I have been struggling so much to think of things to get this Christmas as I feel I don't need very much. However, there are a few bits and bobs which I would like very much so I decided I would make use of these items and share them with you!

Urban Decay - Naked Palette
I have wanted the Naked palette for probably a year now but I have bottled out of it each time because I hate to think I had spent that much on eye shadow when I didn't really wear it, but recently I have become more adventurous with make up so why not get it! There are so many amazing reviews about it and I'm sure all of you reading this will have heard of it before.

Leather Jacket
I should have really asked for this before Autumn as it is Autumn attire but I seriously want one so bad! I feel as if I will get so much use out of it and it will bring together a lot of my outfits which is why I want one so much! I'm hoping to find one that's not too expensive as I would feel really bad if a member of my family bought a jacket for £60 for me just for Christmas! If you have seen any stores that sell really nice leather jackets for less than £50 then please comment below for me!

Real Techniques Brushes
There are so many people on Youtube and who run a blog who use Real Techniques brushes. There are so many positive reviews on these brushes. The only down side is they can be very expensive, especially for someone my age who is still in school. I often have to find alternatives to the brushes and I have found good alternatives but there are some alternatives which aren't very good which is why I would love to have the originals.

Yankee Candles for the New Year
If you know me you will know that my love for candles gets stronger each day and there is nothing I love more than a change of seasons as it means a change of candles! I love to have a good range of scents as then they can match my mood and help me relax after a stressful school day.

Money in General

Finally is money/gift cards. We all know that getting money for Christmas can often be better than actual gifts of some members of your family. Instead of them getting what they  think you'll like, you can just go and spend the money how you would like to. I personally am going on a trip to London next year with my school and I would like to save up for it so my mum doesn't have to pay as much. As my birthday will be after the trip I am trying to think ahead and start saving now instead! I'm so excited! It is London after all! Gift cards are also a simple thing to ask for from more distant family for your favourite store e.g boots, h&m, starbucks, itunes.

I hope you enjoyed this post and it gave you some inspiration for Christmas!

October Favourites



Hi Everyone!

Today I will be sharing my October Favourites with you! There are so many things I have been loving this month but I have whittled it down to my top few for you.

Wake Me Up Concealer Ivory
My makeup favourite has been the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer. I have had way too many late nights this month and this has been my morning savior. I don't really know how to describe this product except that it does its job well! This has always been a staple in my makeup bag and I think it always will be due to it's reliability.



Moisturiser of the month goes to Simple Oil Balancing Moisturiser. I have discovered this moisturiser on the quest to reduce my oily skin. After only a couple of days, the oil had noticeably reduced. I have found it doesn't stop all the oiliness of my skin but it didn't cost much and has also reduced the amount of spots I get! Simple is a brand that is also good for people with sensitive skin and make sure their products won't make your skin break out so I recommend this to all of you, even those with sensitive skin.

Highslide JS
I have had my Tangle Teezer for a while now but I have loved it more than usual this month as my hair has been especially out of control! I own the Compact Styler in Pink. It is so much easier than a normal hair brush and it doesn't pull at your hair whilst trying to get out those mischievous knots. I bought this from Duty Free when going on holiday last year and I can honestly say it was a life saver after being in the pool all day and having the task of brushing your hair after long pool or beach days. I would recommend this 110%. There are various styles of the Tangle Teezer such as Aqua or even the Original, just choose depending on which suites you!




Next up is Soap and Glory - Rich and Foamous Shower Gel. I absolutely love this product! The mix of Almond, Oats and Brown Sugar lasts on your skin for hours and makes your skin feel soft and smooth. It comes in a massive bottle which I have found lasts ages! I don't know how to describe how much I love this product but I'm so glad I bought it.


My favourite store this month has been Lush. Lush has always been one of my favourite stores, however I hadn't been there in a while until the beginning of the month. Since then I have been in around 10 times this month! Addicted doesn't cover it! The various smells from the entrance of the shop just draw me in and the explosion of colour is just as inviting. The lack of animal testing is another positive for an animal lover like me and the variation of scents and products add to it! You can always be guaranteed a surprise when using one of the products and I find that they all smell delicious and complete a relaxing bath! Am I the only one who feels like that?



My music favourite this month has been Taylor Swift. I have loved going on Spotify and listening to all her old songs: Love Story, You Belong With Me, Mine, White Horse etc. They are a great way to relax and even good songs to listen to while doing homework. In fact I'm listening to them while writing this! I have always loved her older music and she never fails to disappoint.



My Owl Candle from Primark has been a favourite this month. It is a small grey hand painted owl with a sweet vanilla scent. I have had this candle for months now but have never brought myself to start burning it until now! It isn't a seasonal scent which is why I am taking my time to burn it. The scent isn't too strong but isn't that weak that you can't smell it that much; it's the perfect balance. I don't know what I'm going to do when it finishes! I love it too much to throw away! My slight obsession with owls is too strong.


I hope you've enjoyed my first favourites post!
