Baby Things We Already Have And Can't Wait To Use!


One               Two              Three               Four


If you have a baby or are expecting one I'm sure you've been doing the same as me and randomly going into the babies space and looking in every draw. Touching all the little clothes, smelling all the clean blankets and stroking the teddy bears, just generally looking forward to when little one finally arrives and uses all these adorable things! 

We have been incredibly blessed to have been gifted so many lovely things from family and friends, we did buy the majority of little boys things ourselves though. The nursery space takes up about half of our bedroom which we have fully redecorated to make it a neutral space that is suitable for both ourselves and for a baby, we didn't want the space to look too childish so a lot of the items we have bought are in white and grey. I'll be uploading a nursery tour soon!

I thought I'd talk you through just a few of the many things we have for baby that I am desperate to use! The next 3 weeks can't go quick enough!


One

Firstly is Ewan The Dream Sheep, it feels like everyone in the world has recommended Ewan and it helps that he is bloody adorable. So when my baby shower rolled around and people started asking what we wanted, I had to add Ewan to the list. Ewan is a sleep aid essentially, he is both a nightlight but also has a button in each foot that each makes a different soothing sound to help baby sleep. It did seem like faddy crap to me originally, like how can a few noises help a baby sleep? But the hype surrounding it is insane so I am now convinced it will help me raise a sleeping angel. Fingers crossed!


Two

One thing Liam was adamant on was that he hated standard Moses baskets and wanted something a little different. I told him that he could choose anything he wanted as long as it didn't cost the earth like most of the fancier ones do! He researched like crazy and came across a brand called Mokee, they are super affordable and we decided to go for a sleep bundle which included the Moses basket, cot and both mattresses for £229. I mean, thats such an insanely good price! I will say that the delivery took almost 7 weeks which is hard when you are as excited as we were but it did all come in perfect condition and the quality exceeded our expectations. 

The Wool Nest (shown) is the thing I am most excited about,  it is the softest, cosiest thing on earth and I am so excited for the first time we lay our little bundle down in it and most likely stare at him all night long! 


Three

First of all, babies name is not Jamie. That is still a closely guarded secret that only a few people know and are sworn to secrecy! Something we desperately wanted was a personalised blanket with little ones names on it. It just felt so special to open the box and see his name for the first time beautifully embroidered on this gorgeously soft white cellular blanket from MyFirstYears. This was a a baby shower present from Liam's mum (one of the lucky ones who knows the name) and is currently hanging on the side of the cot, it feels so surreal to see his name taking pride of place. It really brought it home how close we are to having a real baby here!


Four

Lastly, one of the first things we bought for baby was this Jellycat Lion. It has been with us since the very beginning of this pregnancy so it feels only fitting that it is one the things I am most excited about! I know he won't play with it at first but he will look so cute snuggled up next to it in photographs! Like all Jellycat toys, it is the softest thing. Our poor dog has been desperate the get his teeth around it for months, it's heartbreaking watching him lust after it! 


In all honesty, I'm excited for everything. Even plain white socks get me all excited. Even nappies get me excited! I'm crazy, I know but these are the few things I find myself staring at the most. 

What are you guys loving for your little ones?

26th Birthday Wishlist


One               Two               Three               Four


My 26th birthday is fast approaching so I thought it was time I compiled a wishlist of gifts I probably won't be receiving as our maternity leave belts are fully tightened but it's nice to dream! 

Twenty six suddenly feels so old! I don't know if it's the number itself or the fact that I become a mum this year but my grey hairs are growing with force and I've even started cooking dinner every night instead of living off junk food! 

I rarely get the occasion to wear makeup these days but that hasn't stopped me lusting after it! 


One - Urban Decay Beached Bronzer

I'm sure this came out a few years ago and I never bought it but it's now back as part of the Beached Collection for summer. I've only recently gotten into bronzer, I usually just go for a warm contour but  recently I've been using the bronzer out of the Urban Decay Jean-Michel Basquiat Blush palette a lot and loving it so I'd really like to try something new! The packaging is also gorgeous!

Two - Cath Kidston Card Holder

I currently have a Cath Kidston bag that I use everyday but it's relatively small and my huge purse takes up all the space inside. I don't feel that I need a big purse anymore as I never carry cash and most things are paid for using Apple Pay anyway so I've been on the lookout for a cute card holder and this one is prefect! It is currently reduced to £16 which is such a good price and the colour is to die for.

Three - Urban Decay Backtalk Palette

I've been dying to get my hands on this palette since it was teased on Instagram. It includes 8 eyeshadow shades and 4 blush/highlight shades. All in a beautiful rosy pink tones, I don't have anything else like it which makes it the perfect addition to my collection. Very wearable but also the kind of palette you can create a lot of looks with. 

Four -  Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlight

Becca is a brand I've been hearing about everywhere the past couple of years but it's never been accessible to me but now it is available in John Lewis! I've always wanted to try the famous Champagne Pop shade as it is so raved about but I'm kinda leaning towards Moonstone as it is a paler shade and I'm a little ghostly at the moment!





This palette is actually not out yet but it is currently being teased on Instagram loads! It is the second collaboration with youtuber SophDoesNails and Revolution Makeup. I have the first palette and it is incredible so the second is an absolute must have! I've also been thinking I'd love to try a yellow eye look recently but don't actually own a yellow eyeshadow so the two yellow shades in this palette are very appealing to me! The lipsticks in the collection look gorgeous as well but I'm all about the palette!


  If I only get one thing for my birthday this year, I hope this is it!

Maternity Occassion Wear

One             Two            Three             Four            Five

I have two big events coming up in June, Liam's graduation and my baby shower. I am going to be pretty damn pregnant for both and on a budget as I go on maternity leave on the 1st June so I've been scouring the internet for a dress I can wear for both occasions that is relatively cheap but also going to be comfortable and flattering on my blossoming bump! Especially as lots of photos will be taken on both occasions! 

Although I love my pregnancy body and feel extremely confident showing off my bump, pregnancy has also given me enormous boobs (if they weren't big enough before!) and I've gotten a little chubby  so I am dreading finding something that will be flattering in photos. 

My first thought was a wrap dress to show off these bangers as when they are under cover they just look even bigger but I'm concerned that a graduation is not the time to get the girls out! I'm thinking however that if I go for a more conservative looking dress with some length to it, I can pull off the booby look. Dresses two, four and five tick these boxes! I am really leaning towards the red one.

Dress one is really lovely and has a super flattering cape style top section, I've never worn anything like this so I'm not sure if it would suit me but I'm sure tempted to order it and try! The navy colour is especially appealing and I feel like the floaty material will drape nicely over the bump.

Dress three is similar to a dress I already own so I know the style suited my pre pregnancy body but I'm not sure how it will compliment my enormous boobs and big bump. It could look super flattering or I could end up looking like a black sack with legs. I really do like it though! 


Gahh! This is hard! What do you think? I'll probably order maybe two of these and hope that one of them looks good! Which two should I order?

Baby Wishlist


One               Two                Three                 Four               Five


Now that I'm almost 19weeks pregnant, it is full steam ahead with baby shopping! We have started to buy more practical things like the breast pump, nappy bin... the boring but necessary bits. But what really excites me are the adorable little clothes and soft plush toys! 

One

This little set of bodysuits is from H&M, they are a practical clothing purchase which would be great for everyday wear and the hedgehog print is just adorable! I am really loving the sage green theme H&M currently seem to have going on with a lot of the baby range. Although I think intended to be unisex, I definitely think this colour looks especially lovely on a baby boy. The grey bodysuit is in a sort of cord material which I think is super unique and easily paired with other items so well.

Two

With the new Peter Rabbit film coming out soon, the shops are full of Peter Rabbit bits. This little dungaree set is from Mothercare and it just melts me! Unfortunately I don't think ill be purchasing it as with the baby due on 1st August, it would likely be too warm to wear it! 

Three

We aren't planning on buying many toys at first because realistically newborns don't play with them but we will get a few little things. I really like with Mickey Mouse rattle from Disney Store because it  is simple and pretty, subtly boyish but not too in your face. A good first toy! 

Four

Another adorable sage green set from H&M, I definitely will end up buying this set. The colour just get me! It is a really practical, a whole outfit with the only addictions needing to be mittens and socks. So simple but stunning. 

Five

JellyCat toys are my favourite at the moment, I literally snuggled this fox and squealed in John Lewis the other day! Im not going to buy him or any other soft toys until after the baby shower because I'm sure we will get some gifted to us and don't want to end up with an abundance of toys! I also have a soft spot for the classic bunnies and the dinosaur! 


These are the things I've been eyeing up recently! I am really trying to remember that we are limited on space in our little house but its all just so tempting! 

Thanks for reading!

HighEnd Wishlist



One                    Two                    Three


I am a youtube/blog addict so I often lust after high end beauty, especially things that have been raved about or been all over social media! 

This wishlist is very cliche in my choices but I am dying to get my hands on all of them!


1. Urban Decay Naked Heat Vice Lipstick In Scorched 

Naked Heat is such a big thing right now, everyone wants it and most people already have it. I have the Heat palette and am in love so I am desperate to add to my Heat collection, look at the packaging on these lipsticks! It is the same style as the existing Vice collection but in a stunning burnt orange/copper colour and I bloody love it! There are three shades to choose from but I'm lusting after Scorched, it is a gorgeous metallic burnt orange shade, I'm not sure it will suit me but that doesn't stop me wanting it!


2. Cover Fx Custom Enhancer Drops in Celestial 

We have all heard of these! They are very expensive but I have heard to damn much about them but I have finally decided that I do in fact need one and it will be worth the money! They are very versatile, as a highlight, under a powder highlight, mixed into foundation... the possibilities are endless! Celestial is calling my name and it will be mine!


3. Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Palette

This is a tricky one because there are so many diabolical reviews! Such a huge amount of people saying this a bad palette but on the flip side there are many saying that it is amazing! I personally think the shade selection is amazing, very me and I think it is worth trying it for myself! 


Lastly, Urban Decay have recently been teasing a new mascara on social media.

TROUBLEMAKER!

I am a massive fan of Perversion so if this is even half as good as that, I need it. The packaging is bloody incredible as well, I am a sucker for swanky packaging! 

I don't think this has a release date yet but I know, Ill be buying it the day it comes out! I am very excited!!!


What high end lovelies are you guys lusting after right now?

Let The Pinteresting Begin...

If you have been keeping up with my little blog and my Instagram you'll know that I recently got engaged! 

We are planning on a 4 year engagement as we want the time to enjoy just being engaged and slowly gather ideas and plan without the stress of a time limit! 

An Engagement Party however is a must! We are still in the collecting ideas stage at the moment, we haven't booked a venue, nothing. I didn't realise how hard it would be to find a decent affordable venue but apparently it is! Currently waiting on about 20 place to return my emails...

We want a relaxed casual little gathering of about 50 people, so our families can all finally meet, our parents have mingled a little bit but our wider families are still to meet. 

We're thinking a lovely little pub with a function room and some outdoor space for a daytime gathering with either a buffet or a bbq.


No party is complete without a cake! I know its a cliche but I really love the sparkly letters that go on top of a cake. I love this one! Simple but adorable and straight to the point!


I'm really leaning towards the gold theme! Balloons can easily look tacky but these gold dipped ones would be the most fun DIY and they look great! I also really love the idea of filling clear balloons with gold glitter but I'm a little worried about the clean up when they inevitably get popped!


Invites are what is exciting me most! I'm really liking simple designs with mostly black and white, maybe a little pop of colour as above. This one is to the point, modern and cute which I loveeee!


The simplicity of this one is really alluring me! The curly script, the classic mono tones, adorable! I really am leaning towards this one but I feel that although I like it, my fiancé would much rather a bit of colour!


This invite is my absolute favourite and I have no problems at all sending it out to all of my family but Liam is not so keen! I suggested we just put stars in the word shit to make it a little more family friendly but he still isn't on board! 

I personally think it has just the right relaxed personal vibe that we're going for! Hopefully he can be convinced!


I will 100% be doing this! We are huge lovers of going to the cinema, going at least once a week so this is so us it is unreal! Liam could literally eat a lorry full of popcorn in one sitting! We have a popcorn maker at home so this would also be a really cost friendly option for us! The play on the word popped is just adorable as well!


There will no doubt be a whole lot more of this style post coming up so do let me know if you like them!

WISHLISTt: Waterproof Mascara


One        Two        Three

I have three holidays booked this year and I am beyond excited, counting down the days till I can be fully immersed in a swimming pool! (my favourite holiday activity)

Two of these holidays are in June so really soon! 

I'm not to worried about people seeing my naked face, I'm not one of those girls who wears a full face of makeup then keeps her head firmly above water. NO THANK YOU! IM GOING ON THE WATER SLIDES! But, it is nice to have some lashed to stop my eyes looking like sunken pits. 

1. L'Oreal - Miss Baby Roll Waterproof

I am very temped to buy this! Everyone has been raving about this mascara all over youtube and the blogging community so I am basically being forced to buy it. The only problem is that it is constantly sold out in my local stores. I'll keep looking though!

2. Barry M - That's How I Roll Waterproof

I really like Barry M mascaras and this is the only waterproof option from them I have came across. I love the packaging and the wand looks like it would give lovely delicate fluttery lashes but I haven't heard much about it so I can't be certain it will be good. It is the cheapest option here though, so I might take the risk!

3. Too Faced - Better Than Sex Waterproof

This would be the indulgent option as it is much more expensive than the others but as it is for holiday I feel like something a little fancy would be nice. But at the same time, it is expensive and I don't use waterproof on a daily basis so would it dry out before I get a chance to use it all?  



UPDATE: I have now bought and tried one of these mascaras so will be reviewing it here soon!!!!

WISHLIST: Urban Decay


One        Two        Three        Four


We all know by now that I bloody love Urban Decay. I have been "attempting" to avoid high end makeup purchases recently as I am saving so my wishlist has been building up for a while! My birthday is coming up though so maybe I will treat myself to just a little something... 

One: Urban Decay - Afterdark Palette

Ok, so this isn't the most wearable palette but I have fallen in love with it. All the shades are jewel toned which I don't have a lot of in my makeup collection so this palette would be a lovely addition. I think that the top line of shades would be the most wearable, I could definitely create some awesome eye looks with these!  I'm not going to lie though, I mainly want it for the packaging. It's gorgeous! 

Two: Urban Decay - Jean-Michel Basquiat Gallery Blush Palette

This palette is apart of the new collection centred on the art of Jean-Michel Basquiat. I'm in two minds about this because I think it is amazing that Urban Decay are appreciating artists and branching out but Basquiat's work is personally not my cup of tea and I think this packaging is pretty ugly. However, the palettes contents look amazing, two gorgeous blush shades, a highlight and a bronzer. The perfect travel palette. 

Three: Urban Decay - De Slick Complexion Primer

I have a thing for primers at the moment so I've had my eye on this one for a while. De Slick is meant to control shine which is perfect for me as I'm one shiny bitch and I hate it. The only thing stopping me is the price, it is £23 but the issue is that you don't get much product. I would literally use it all up in a few weeks so it feels like a waste of money. But I want it.

Four: Urban Decay - Rehab MakeUp Prep Pore Refining Peel

Face masks are my favourite thing ever, me and the boyfriend love doing a face mask after a long day and we especially like one that peels off. Again, the price is putting me off, £24 and not a whole lot of product. But again, I want it. 


I will be buying at least one of these items, so help me out. Which one should it be?

My Top Five Lip Products

One        Two         Three        Four        Five


You'll notice a theme for nudes and easy to wear lip products here because I am so lazy with my lips.

I feel like I spend most of my life eating so anything that needs reapplying too often.
 is a no from me. These are literally the only five lip products that I wear. 


One: Tanya Burr Cosmetics Matte Lip in Martha Moo

I don't really like matte liquid lipsticks because they seem to crumb off on the inside of your mouth then they are really hard to re apply without taking the lot off which isn't easy. 

Martha Moo is the strangest formula, it doesn't completely dry down but it isn't sticky and it lasts all  day without wearing away at all. The colour is a dream, very 90's nude and very wearable, it seems to match almost everything. It also smells delicious. 

Two: Maxfactor Lipfinity Lasting Liptint in 05

I have loved the Lipfinity Liptints for years, they're essentially felt tips for you lips. I like them because they last a really long time and when they finally do wear off they wear off evenly so you never look stupid no matter how long you've had it on. I've had it in a variety of shades over the years but this one is my favourite. It again, is a 90's nude which is so wearable for everyday.

Three: NYC Smooch Proof Stain in Peach

I wear this almost everyday. NYC is no longer easily available and this tube is almost empty which breaks my heart but I just love it. It doesn't have a lot of colour but it just gives my lips some natural life. Sort of just enhances my natural lip colour. 

Four: Essence Prettifying Lip Oil

This is a new love of mine. It looks yellow in the swatch but it looks like nothing on the lips, it is just so moisturising and lovely for dry lips. I keep this in my handbag and apply it literally 10 times a day, my lips feel like a babies bottom.

Five: Urban Decay Sheer Lipstick in Love Light

This is my fancy handbag lipstick, it is a wearable every day shade with loads of moisture and a hint of gold glitter. I like it for when I need something subtle but nice. It lasts a long time and wears off evenly so it is the perfect fuss free lippie. 



What are your fave lip products?

Drugstore Wishlist



Left:      One      Two      Three      Four      Five      Six      :Right

I AM ALWAYS LUSTING AFTER MAKEUP! That's just a given but recently there have been some incredible drugstore beauties that I am dying to have! These are those...

1: L’Oreal Miss Baby Roll Waterproof Mascara 

Everyone is going mad for Miss Baby Roll! So much so that I have looked in countless drugstores and it is always out of stock! Which further enforces that it must be good and I really really need it.  As summer is approaching, i’m after the waterproof mascara so I can have lovely fluttery lashes even in the pool! 


2: I Heart Makeup Chocolate Vice Palette

I already have the white chocolate version of this palette and have been continuously surprised at how often I reach for it. It is such incredible quality for such a minuscule price so I plan on eventually owning the whole collection! I want this one next because the red tones are really luring me in!


3: I Heart Makeup Light and Glow

As I am already a huge fan of the I Heart Chocolate eyeshadow palettes, I now want to explore some of the other items from the range. This little palette is in cute chocolate bar style packaging containing a baby pink blush and a gorgeous natural champagne highlight. Seems like it would be great for travel.


4: Makeup Revolution Skin Kiss in Ice Kiss

Is this not the most appealing thing you have ever seen?! Everything about this looks so high end! From all the swatches I've seen on youtube, this highlighter look so incredibly pigmented and glazed doughnut-esque.  NEED!


5: Makeup Revolution Renaissance Lipstick

Another new Makeup Revolution product, these Renaissance lipsticks also look very expensive and reviews for them have been incredible! I haven’t got my heart set on any particular shade, I just know I need to try one! 


6: I Hear Makeup Bronze and Glow

Again, an I Heart Makeup offering in the form of this adorable bronzer and highlighter duo. I’m not sure the highlighter would work for me, it is a little dark for my pale skin but the bronzer looks a perfect shade for a natural everyday look. I need it!  


I feel like the drugstore is churning out amazing products at the moment, I can’t possibly keep up with all the amazing new released! What have you been lusting after? Let me know!

WISHLIST: Primark Heels


Check Them Out HERE

Primark is heaven for me, fashionable, affordable and everything you could ever possible need all under one roof. They always have great shoes, Primark is always my go to place for summer shoes and work shoes especially but it has been a while since I've bought a pair of heels from there. 

I follow Primark on instagram because it is the best place to see all the new and upcoming releases without having to go to store and search blindly through all the different products! It's like a spending minefield in that place!

I can't buy six pairs of shoes considering I already own more shoes than I need but these six pairs are calling my name so bloody loudly! I'm really loving quirky shoes at the moment, I also love a comfy heel which I consider all of these to be. I know that might seem mental for some people but I'm a pretty confident heel wearer so I define comfort not at the height of a heel but the shape of the shoe. These shoes are dance the night away, wear to to dinner and basically just shoes I won't fall over while wearing.

I'm feeling really feminine recently which I'm sure you have gathered from this little collection! I'm  loving pastel shades, embroidery, velvet and satin so much! 

I wear black a lot so I like to wear a more feminine shoe to break up the black a little! 

I will definitely be buying at least one pair of these shoes to be my holiday heels but I just can't decide! 


Which do you think should be the winner?

High End Wishlist


One      Two      Three      Four      Five      Six 


I have bought makeup recently because I can't stop myself lets be honest but I haven't treated myself to something high end in ages! 

I have a wedding to go to at the end of the month so most of these items have that in mind! It's going to a long day, I'm going to get hot and sweaty in my dress and there will be countless photos taken that will be on display forever so I must look my best!


1. Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette

This first one is something I have been lusting after for ages! It is for the wedding, I would likely use it but I want it even if I don't. I have the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette and the quality of the shadows is just incredible! I love a peach lid so this palette is the dream for me! I feel like I haven't got any other palettes like it so it would be a great addition to my collection. (Correction: I have now bought this!)

2. Urban Decay VICE Lipstick 

I already have a VICE lipstick in the SHEER variety and I love it. I was thinking I would get another one to wear to the wedding, a pinky shade to match with my dress. I like the SHEER lipsticks because they provide a wash of colour without being over powdering, they can be reapplied easily and they wear off nicely when eating. They are just an easy consistency. The shade shown above isn't necessarily the one I would choose, I think I need to head to my local counter and cover myself in swatches!

3. MAC Lipstick 

I have never tried a MAC lipstick so I feel like its a risk to get something I've never tried to wear to a wedding but none the less, I'm tempted. Again, not necessarily this shade, i'd need to get swatch happy.

4. Benefit They're Real Double The Lip

These are such a cool little idea, they are essentially a lipstick and liner in one. So they can be applied together to give a fuller looking pout. A really good idea in theory but I had my doubt as to whether they would work that well but so far reviews have been good so I'm seriously tempted to pick one up!  Another option for a wedding lipstick.

5. Urban Decay De-Slick Shine Control Complexion Primer

I rarely use primers but considering how long a day weddings are, I think it might be a good idea to get myself one! I am can also become a bit of an oily mess so shine control is an added bonus! Only issue is that reviews for this haven't been great so I'm on the fence and I do feel that £23 is over priced for the small amount that you get. I really want it though!

6. Urban Decay De-Slick Oil Control Makeup Setting Spray 

On the same train of thought as the primer, I'm trying to control the shine and make my makeup last all day for the wedding and just in general as I feel that my makeup doesn't last long enough these days! Im thinking I'll got for the travel sized as it seems like a very good size so why spend more on the larger one. 


How you tried any of these products? Whats worth the money and what should I forget about? I'd love your opinions!

Mothers Day Gift Ideas


  One      Two      Three      Four     

Shopping for a Mothers Day gift can be quite difficult, it is so easy just to fall into the bunch of flowers category and I don't know if its just me but I think flowers a crappy gift. They die and they aren't personal. 

I have tried to find a selection of ideas for varying price points so hopefully you find this helpful!


1. Emma Bridgewater Mug

Emma Bridgewater makes the most gorgeous mugs! Isn't this one lovely? Emma Bridgewater mugs are very expensive for mugs, it is not something you would buy for yourself which is one reason why it would make such a lovely thoughtful gift!

2. HP Sprocket

If you are looking to spoil your mum just that little bit extra then this is a great gift. I got this for Christmas myself and I am in love with it. It is an inkless mini printer that prints directly from your phone. If you have a tech savvy mum then this would be a fab gift, if you don't then this might be a bad idea as you will get constant phone calls asking how to use it! 

3.  Woodwick Summer Sweets Trilogy Candle

Mums love candles, it's just a fact. You can't go wrong with a beautiful candle and this one is especially fancy with the three layers of varied scent and wooden wick. If I'm stuck on a gift idea, I always go for a candle!

4. Gold Spot Scrapbook

As a gift to go with the HP Sprocket or just for a mum who loves to collect memories or is a craft fan, this lovely scrapbook will go down a treat! You can also have the cover personalised which adds another little personal touch!


What will you get your mum for Mothers Day? Or are you gonna go for one of my suggestions?

Christmas Wishlist Four



One      Two      Three      Four      Five 

Recently my boyfriend asked me if there was any little, cheaper makeup items that I would want for my stocking. I hadn't really thought much about it, they weren't on my Christmas lists but when I started looking I realised there were loads of adorable items that I would love to find in my stocking! 

These items would be great for younger make up lovers or like me, as cute stocking stuffers! Or even for a secret Santa as all the items are under £10


1. MUA Undress Your Skin Highlighter in Golden Afterglow 

I've tried these highlighters before and they are the most pigmented, shimmery highlights you will ever find for such a low price. MUA recently released a few new shades, Golden Afterglow is one of them.  It is the most festive, lovely gold, a really unique shade that any lady would love to have!


2.  I Heart Chocolate Bronze and Glow

This little palette is reminiscent of the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palettes in that the packaging looks like a chocolate bar... So freaking adorable that I can't even stand it. This is the a really great duo of a highlight and bronzer, both useable shades in the most adorable packaging. I need it.


3. I Heart Eyeshadow Palette Chocolate and Peaches

Too Face's Sweet Peach palette is every girls dream right now but it's expensive and hard to get a hold of, this is basically a cheap copy but I'm my opinion it is equally cute and I desperately want it. Such wearable and girly shades!


4. Tanya Burr Matte Lip in Martha Moo

I already own this but I thought I'd include it because I personally think that everyone needs to own it. It is the most incredible colour and the stay power is ridiculous. It last absolutely forever. On first wear I hated it but if you apply lip balm before you apply and on top after, you're in with a winner.


5. Zoella Deck The Baubles

This one is not so much aimed at me as I'm not a fan of bath stuff as gifts but most women do like bath stuff and there is none more adorable than this bubble bath filled bauble. The cuteness of this just kills me, Zoe's whole Christmas range is the most beautifully festive thing ever!

Christmas Wishlist Three - Asda



One      Two      Three      Four      Five      Six 


Wishlist Three is a little different because these are items to buy BEFORE Christmas rather than as a gift, they are also all from Asda. These six things would make great little Christmas treats for yourself or maybe even for a Secret Santa that is being gifted before Christmas Day. 

Asda have amazing home stuff and often great clothes as well. It is always my go to place for seasonal items especially and this year they are on to a winners! 



1. Christmas Sequin Bulldog T-Shirt

I love a good classic Christmas jumper but I get so hot in them and they make my boobs look weird so I was so pleasantly surprised to find that Asda had a huge selection of Christmas t-shirts! This one is the most adorable thing in the whole world. It has a huge dog on it! I actually didn't buy this one though because it has sequins sewn on the front which looks great but I feel like they always fall off in the washing and I can not deal with that sort of stress. 


2. Winky Santa Mug

This mug is a must have for all your festive hot drink needs. It is the cutest little Santa, so retro yet somehow not tacky despite the fact it is a huge head. I am very tempted to buy this!


3. Decorative Jar Candle in Golden Vanilla

I mainly like this for the gorgeous gold tree lid. This candle looks so much more expensive than it is and it smells so sweet and delicious. It would be a great option if you want to add a little Christmas touch to your home without being full on tinsel and giant Santas.


4. Yankee Candle in Merry Mint Chocolate

Asda do a range of Yankee Candles which are a little cheaper than your usual Yankee Candle and the jar is slightly less fancy looking. I don't love the way they look because they don't look as nice but they do smell equally as good, this festive scent specifically makes me want to eat it. It makes your whole house smell like After Eight mints which to me just screams Christmas!


5. Glass Dogs Decorations

As you probably know, I adore dogs so these glass baubles kill me. They are so bloody cute that I just need to have them! I'm also really loving glass figurine baubles this year, the old fashioned kind so these are really appealing to me. I think I will pick up a pack next time I see them in store!


6. Santa Tea Light Burner Set

In the same style as the mug this is a giant Santa head burner, you put the tea light in the underneath and add scented liquid to the top and it fills the room with the most amazing smells! I bought this yesterday because I simple couldn't resist and now my whole house smells like mince pies. 


Basically, let me loose in Asda and I will transform my surroundings into a magical winter wonderland and I suggest you do the same!

Christmas Wishlist Two


One      Two      Three      Four      Five     Six


This wishlist is focusing on the mums, aunts or anyone who loves to cook! 



1. Cath Kidston Hedgehogs Apron

You can't go wrong with a lovely gift from Cath Kidston. The whole store is a wonderland of cute prints and homely items! I'm loving this hedgehog print apron, a pretty apron is a kitchen essential for any lover of cooking! 

2. Jamie Olivers Christmas Cookbook

Jamie Oliver is just one of those people that everyone loves. You really can't go wrong with one of his great cookbooks and a Christmas themed one is just perfect for the holiday season!

3. Hotel Chocolate Mini Chocolate Dipping Adventure

How bloody delicious does this look? You might have to fight against eating it before you gift it but if you do manage it, the recipient will be one happy bunny! It's only £20 but looks so much more expensive! 

4. Kikki.K 2017 Daily Diary

Everyone needs a diary for Christmas. I don't think I've ever had a Christmas and not received one! This particular one from Kikki.K is just beautiful and there are so many other items in the same design you could get to go with it. Wall planners and pens, you name it. 

5. Cath Kidston Merry Christmas Mug 

My boyfriend bought me this a few weeks ago to enjoy over the festive months up until Christmas and I really love it. Makes a great cup of coffee as well! Anyone receiving this would be a lucky lady! 

6. Niomi Smarts Eat Smart

If you're buying for a slightly younger chef, they might have heard of the popular youtuber, Niomi Smart. Her new cookbook focuses on healthy eating, is beautifully designed and the best gift! 



I hope these little gift ideas have been helpful in your Christmas shopping quest! 
Thanks for reading!
