BEAUTY: Vanilla BodyShop collection

Hey, how was your week? Mine was good, thanks for mentally asking! Today i will be writing a blog post on the body shops vanilla collection. Now i will have to admit first that i did not purchase this myself, it was a gift, for my birthday. And a mighty fine gift it was! I adore it; i had to snap pictures before it had all disappeared. The collection consists of a shower gel, a Body polish, a Body butter and a soap and i love them all dearly.







The body wash looks wet in the photos, its not i promise. As i said before, I really love this set i think its such a lovely sent and it very calming and not too strong(I cant stand too strong sweet sents) they have it perfect.
Im not really one for going into the body shop usually but have actually seen lots of blog posts on several different blogs that i follow and so think i will be going in the soon to see if i can find some goodies to give as presents to people. My brother is on my list. So if anyone has any recommendations for a good product they sell please comment or DM me on twitter or instagram, links are in the sidebar.
Have a lovely week! Cheerio

BEAUTY: Best lush buys of the year

Hellooo!! Unfortunately, 2014 is drawing to a close. However this then means that its is an appropriate time to start reflecting on 2014, obviously starting off with the best things i have bought from lush(because lush is the best).
Popcorn lip scrub




Angels on bare skin Cleanser
I could eat this, technically i couldn't but you know. This stuff has a sent that can send you to sleep; Its so good. With ground almonds, lavender, rose and chamomile blue essential oils all crammed into this pot you know when you open it you going to get bombarded with an amazing sent. This gives your skin a natural glow and sill even out your skin tone. If you haven't already smelt this pot of happiness please, please, please go to your nearest lush and just smell it, you wont be disapointed.
Ultrabland
Ultrabland is one of those products you just know will only be useful to you if its the type of product you like, personally i love it, but i know many who disagree. It is a gentle face cleanser that helps all skin types. Its a think soft creamy cleanser, which is what i think puts people off. I love it i think it really helps clear out my skin and defiantly leaves my skins feeling revitalized and fresh.
Cupcake Facemask
This is like a packet of chocolate but in a facemask. I don't think i can begin to comprehend actually how much of a life saver this product is! It is specifically for teenage skin, so is very effective at all the things the teenage skin is prone to do. It calms breakouts and absorbs excess oils from the skin leaving you skin feeling fresh as a daisy but still clean and soft. With coco butter, linseed, peppermint and sandal wood oils the smell of this facemask is unbelievable.

Have a good week, cheerio

LIFESTYLE: November Favourites

Hello from me and from Maggs and Agnes the two creatures clutching at my jumper. Or just my guinea pigs. Today I have a favorites post and I've never done one of these so bear with me if mine is cr*p. Oops.
I have picked out a selection of things that I have enjoyed using in November. That could be beauty fashion, films, books or anything really that I have enjoyed or liked in November. So without further ado let's make a start.

You may ask why there is a picture of my cat in my favorites, well to say the truth, I don't really know if i can say he's only a favorite for November because I love him all year round...

I think I am the last person to Read this book. In November I was reading Hunger Games, Catching fire. Is it called Hunger Games catching fire or just catching fire of just hunger games because I really do not know... But I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am now reading mocking jay.
I bought this film mid way through November and I'm not going to lie, I've watched it about 5 times. Oops. I just love the story line and think that Renee zellweger, she is just such a funny actress and is just perfect for playing the character Bridget.



Vitamin water, I discovered this when I was walking home from school. I really needed something to quench my thirst and so walked into morrisons. I had £1.70 in my pocket and all i wanted more in the world was a little bottle of sprite which i knew was 60p or so. I scanned the drinks shelves for the sprite bottles but unfortunately all i found was coke, smart water and vitamin water. I didn't want coke and i thought smart water was a little boring for a Friday afternoon so instead painfully decided to spent every last penny i had on a bottle of vitamin water and as you can probably tell by the empty bottle in the picked are the fact it is in my 'monthly favorites' i enjoyed it, alot...
Bella Pierre, this is a new cosmetic brand that i had not heard of until i got given this little pallet. I got given it by one of my mums good friend because she bough it online and then when it arrived didn't like the colors, she couldn't send it back; don't ask me why. But fortunately for me, i really like the colors and think that they really compliment my eye color, hazel with tints of green, if you where wondering.




Im not going to go into too much detail about these as i have explained my love for them in my previous blog post, if you have not read i would highly recommend it. I just really like the two colors and think that L'Oreal is a really good brand.

AND LAST BUT (PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT) CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, a big big BIG, mug full of hot chocolate!!I like mine with marshmallows and the other night tried using a candy cane as a spoon and oh my goodness guys, if you are going to make yourself a hot chocolate, use a candy cane as a spoon. It is like drink winter.

Well that's it from me, cheerio

BEAUTY: Nail Varnishes

Hello or should i say welcome to my little guilty pleasure. no, no chocolate is here, its just a blog. Well, hello everyone! Id just like to start of by saying thank you all so much for visiting and commenting and liking, if you have, and please follow me! Ive been wanting to start off a blog for so long now as the whole idea of YouTube ing, isnt really my cup of tea. I decided that, after lots of pushing myself, i would start blogging about the lings i am passionate about, make up and clothes. Just kidding, On my blog you may find a variety of different things that could entail beauty or  fashion may even do a little cooking(i do love a bit of cooking) or just to sum it all up into a nutshell my blog is going to be a lifestyle blog so all those this under one http.

Ive made a few plans on some blog ideas but not many so would appreciate it if you would comment some ideas you may have and i can try them out.

Gotten all the rambley parts taken care of and so now am actually going to write about something you probably care about.

My Favorite Autumn/ winter nail varnishes- Ive picked out high and low end products to hopefully suit everyone budget. (this may give a little inspiration on Christmas gifts, i shall be writing a blog post on a Christmas gift guide as well)

My first set is what im going to call glitz and glamour because they are all neutral with shimmer, not mentioning the glitter nail varnish in the middle!! I really like the L'Oreal nail varnishes, i think its the brush that is just so easy to use. They're long but wide so you can cover your whole nail in one motion. I have two, the greyish toned one is called parisian roof and i absolutely adore this color on my nails i think it looks super chic and the other called macaron noisette which is more of a neutral beige with a slight shimmery tint. I think that the L'Oreal nail varnishes are a reasonable price for the product your buying as they do last quite a while. The middle colour is from primark and is a gold glitter, i think that this nail varnish is so pretty on a feature nail with a nice grey for the rest and it looks super chic and classy! This i got in a set for £2. Bargain.

L'Oreal Parisian Roof
Primark
L'Oreal Macaroon Noisette
My second set is more of a wintery scene. I think that the colors are very chic and classy when on and although black can be a grungey color i think the chanel one i have is perfect because when it catches the light it does go shimmery and really beautiful. They grey is from primark and was also in a set for £2 and although i really like the shade it produces it isnt very hard waring and does chip easily.
Primark beauty, grey
Chanel noir ceramic 337
My last but certainly not least is my Christmas nail varnishes. If you know me and you know me quite well you will know how much i love Christmas, if you don't know me, ill just tell you now, Christmas is my favorite  time of the year. I just love Christmas... These nails are perfect for The day or a Christmas party you may be attending and they are so festive and beautiful. They are both red but they look classic and you can wear the sparkle over the red and it looks so festive and lovely.
