Valentine's Day Lush haul 2016...

So when it comes to Valentine's Day so far Nathan has gone down the cute path which I'm totally okay with. He always buys me flowers so I was happy to see the usual bunch with sparkly leaves! Along with a beautiful polaroid camera to document some of our adventures he ofcourse picked me up some lovely Lush goodies!

Starting with a bubbleroon I did not expect to receive or even put on my list in my Lush wishlist. The Yuzu and Cocoa £3.75 with moisturising Fair Trade, Organic cocoa butter and shea butter, Yuzu and cocoa has a mood brightening colour (very true) and scent thanks to a blend of citrus oil with a chocolatey undertone. So from my other Lush posts I've declared my love for citrus scent so when Nathan was like 'zoe smell this' I fell in love! 

Along with this he picked me up Avobath £3.50 lemongrass and bergamot oils combined with avocado and olive oils that tackles dry skin. This smells ridiculous and is just a simple bath bomb for when you want some simple that isn't making the bath look like a galaxy! 

So Nathan was kind enough to buy me TWO not one but TWO unicorn horns! £4.25 made with relaxing lavender oil with mood brightening neroli. Neroli is an essential oil distilled from the flowers of the Seville orange, used in perfumery. Neroli is supposed to increase serotonin levels in the brain which should makes us feel happier. So hopefully it can help me thinking of unicorns and happiness.. maybe that's why Nathan bought me TWO to make me happier hahaha.. 

Next up is Rose Bombshell £3.95 I love it's little rose detailing in the bath bomb. According to Lush this has a floral triplet, combining yellow rose petals, rose absolute and rose oil it's a spectacular mixture. When placed into the bath the hard layer melts away and spreads rose petals into the bath which is a good way to remind me of Nathan how loving haha. Another bath bomb with a scent I like as it explodes into Sicilian lemon and floral geranium oils. YAAAAAAAAY!

AND FINALLY! Green £3.75 a moisturising citrus scent bubble bar. CITRUS YAYAYAY! With bergamot to brighten the mood, fresh avocado to reinvigorate and shea butter to make your skin soft! Nathan must know me so well with like 3/6 of these being citrus scents and literally all of them are to make people happier when they use them! Hope he's not hinting that I need to cheer up! haha

Well that is all my lovelies I hope you enjoyed seeing what Nathan treated me too this Valentine's Day I am truly grateful because he is amazing and so super sweet to me! We have been through a lot the past year and I couldn't go a day without him! So thank you Nathan!

All my love,

Lush Wishlist January 2015

I really enjoyed doing my high-end and drugstore beauty wish list and I love love love Lush so I thought I would do another wish list in the form of the Lush goodies i need to get my hands on! Especially some of the Valentine's day special goodies such as the Unicorn Horn and Prince Charming Shower Gel.

So let's get on with the products...

1. Sakura (Bath Bomb) £3.50 - designed to evoke the burst of optimism the first sign of spring brings. Calming mimosa and jasmine oils are complemented by lemon oil and orange flower. I love lemon scents which I have probably said like 4 times in my Lush Haul that I adore lemon/lime and apple scents i suppose I like fruit hahaha!
2. Green (Bubbleroon) £3.75 - another citrus scent oops haha! described as a moisturising,citrus-scented bubble bar will put you in mind of a fresh summer meadow. Created with bergamot, fresh avocado (also my favourite) and shea butter this sounded perfect! 
3. Unicorn Horn (Bubble Bar) £4.25 - (Valentine's Special)  how they get a unicorns horn I do not know but YAAAAAY! Relaxing lavender oil meets mood-brightening neroli this bubble bar is beautiful and could probably get 2/3 baths out of this! I actually asked Nathan for this for Valentine's day hahaha oops..
4. Lover Lamp (Bath Bomb) £3.95 - (Valentine's Special) I fell for this when I see it put little hearts in the bath, this comes across like a simple bath bomb made from Fair Trade organic cocoa butter and Brazilian orange oil to soften the skin. 
5. Prince Charming (Showel Gel) £4.95 for 100g - (Valentine's Special) now that I explore more with Lush products I have started to use more of the Showel Gel's such as The Comforter and Snow Fairy (Christmas Special) SO I decided to give the small bottle a whirl. Created with fresh pomegranate juice and lashings of uplifting grapefruit oil not to mention soothing marshmallow root and Fair Trade vanilla pod and organic cocoa butter to soften the skin. When I smelt this in store there was no specific smell so I thought it overall smelt lovely haha..
6. Jackie Oates (foundation) £9.95 for 20g - for smoothing those pale complexions (me me me) it's made with oat milk as a base with added nurturing shea butter,honey,aloe vera and glycerine to hydrate. I just love foundations i have lots and lots so I wanted to add a Lush one to my collection.
7. Rose Jam ( Bubbleroon) £3.75 - along with the green bubbleroon these have new formulas and this looks so pretty and lovely! Definitely be able to get 2 baths out of these! Made with lemon (yaaaaay) rose and geranium oil with Fair Trade cocoa and shea butter this smells unreal!
8. The Kiss (Lips) £5.50 - (Valentine's Special) I have used one of these lip balms before in Honey Trap and I love it for moisturizing my lips before i use my mac lip liners and lipsticks. Infused with hydrating butter and Kalahari melon and organic jojoba oils combined with illipe oil and agave syrup this tints the lips perfect and looks so smooth! Gimee gimee gimee...
9. Intergalactic (Bath Bomb) £3.95 -  I love the big kind of explosion bath bombs like The experimenter and how they shower a bath with colour so this looks unreal! An awesome mix of refreshing peppermint (LOVE LOVE LOVE) and neon colour while popping candy takes you on a trip around the Milky Way.
10. Fizzbanger (Bath Bomb) £3.95 - described as a Catherine wheel of a bath bomb. IT CHANGES COLOUR AS IT FIZZES! whattttttt?! crackling popping candy releasing a cirtussy apple and then a cinnamon, apple pie like scent with a hint of yland ylang. How they created a citrussy apple scent I don't know but my life is complete! Also contains petitgrain for aromatherapy to calm the breathing, slow the heartbeat and reduce anxiety, I need like 20 of these!
11. Avobath (Bath Bomb) £3.50 - Avobath in the morning to help you face the day: its lemongrass and bergamot oils combined with avacado (makes sense haha) and olive oil. Leaving a shimmering green effect to the water, this smelt unreal when I smelt it in Lush the other day!
12. Cupcake (Fresh Face Mask) £6.75 for 75g - I have tried one mask before and it cleared my spots massively so this sounds lovely and smells just as good! Rhassoul mud works with cocoa powder along with linseed and cocoa butter to draw out all the dirt and impurities to give a deep cleanse! 
13. Twilight (Bath Bomb) £3.50 - This one seems good for me and my insomnia nights! described on the Lush website 'If sleep is evading you, this combination of essential oils will help get you ready for a good night's rest. It turns from the colour of the setting sun and gets darker, turning your water a shimmering deep purple.' OOH SPOOKY! Lavendar used to sooth and mind clear while benzoin and tonka remind you of a milky caramel malt drink. This sounds so perfect I should probably buy like 20...

Well that is all for my lush wish list hopefully I can pick up the Valentine's specials before they run out before I am so desperate to try them! Hope you enjoyed the read my lovelies!

All my love, 

Beauty Wishlist 2015

I am a massive fan of beauty products from cosmetics to skin products and I have compiled a list of 13 drugstore and 13 high-end products that I intend to invest in within the upcoming months. Most of these I have heard about from Youtubers or from reading blogs, mostly favourite products or first impression videos. With the drugstore wish list I intend to keep it around the £10 mark or less and apart from one product I kept within that limit as the high-end wish list is rather on the pricey side as it's mostly palettes such as Too Faced and Urban Decay. So without further ramblings...

Starting of with the drugstore wish list, all these products vary in ranges such as Bourjois, Soap and Glory and Rimmel. Some of these products I want to either repurchase as I am worried there about to run out, or that I have heard about in Drugstore Hauls such as Glitteralittle's or LoveLaughandMakeup's video such as Get ready with me's. 

1. Miss Sporty Perfect Stay Liquid Concealer £2.99 001 (Light) I really want to give this concealer a chance as I have never tried it before and seen it in a blog review that it was actually pretty good.
2. Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation £10.99 (light vanilla) I have other Bourjois foundations such as the Healthy Mix and I love that one, but I suffer from dark under eye so when I see this was made to defeat anti-dark circles, anti-dull complexion and anti redness I thought it sounded amazing and I have seen some awesome reviews on it.
3. Sleek makeup Brown kit £8.49 (dark) I have very few brow products or good ones anyway so I wanted to purchase a brow product that has been recommended as one of the best from the drugstore.
4. Rimmel London Lasting Finish Primer £6.99 I LOVE PRIMERS! So when I see this in Glitteralittle's drugstore haul I thought i could add it to my list to pick up and give it a whirl.
5. Soap and Glory It's About Prime Eyeshadow Underbase £4.00 I am a HUGE fan of soap and glory and you can see from my Christmas Haul post, so when I seen this on the boots website I thought it looked brilliant for the price as I use a Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Creme De Nude to prime my eyes or the Mac paint pot in Soft Ochre so I really would like a proper primer.
6. Sleek makeup highlighter palette £9.99 (Solstice) this palette looks so beautiful and the average drugstore highlighter is around £7 for 4 for £10 is amazing! Consisting of two baked powders, one luxurious cream formula and one silky shimmer powder, this products seems so versatile and beautiful. Must have for my collection!
7. Maybelline Eyestudio Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Eyeshadow £4.99 (Metallic Pomegranate) I love the colour tattoo's! They last so long and look so beautiful so when I seen this in Glitteralittle's haul and her swatch I fell in love! Just really want to add it to my collection!
8. Sleek Makeup Face Contour Kit £6.49 (light) I have had this product before and it has only just ran out after a year I think more so the highlighter but I still want to pick up a new one for when it does run out. I wish they did the highlighters separate! But I love this for contouring probably one of the best drugstore contour kits going...
9. Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder £3.99 (Transparent) I also love this product! I only ever have this powder and MAC one's because it works so well for my skin.
10. Seventeen Skin WOW Primer £5.99 Another primer i would like to try as it also gives a highlighted effect to the face as it could be used as a highlighter too. So really a multi purpose product!
11. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil £5 (milk) I have seen this raved about online as an eye primer and reducing colour in the eyelids so when i seen Boots were doing NYX I was so happy!
12. Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Liner £2.99 (Cappuccino) another product I seen mention in Glitteralittle's haul and thought it was a gorgeous colour as I am a lip liner junky! 
13. Finally, Nyc Smooth Skin Loose Finishing Powder £2.99 So silly me put the NYX one in the picture by accident but I heard about this product from LoveLaughandMakeup and it's so inexpensive so I really wanted to try it out to set my face.

Onto the high-end products these products are a lot of palette's and the odd bath products that I lust over, some products I have other versions of and just want to try other colours. Some however are like my Drugstore post and products I heard about from online and from blogposts or friends.

1. MAC Pro Lip Palette £35 (Modern Browns) I have the Select Plum and Editorial Red palette's and love them! So why not jump on the bandwagon and add the brown one to my collection.
2. Anastasia DipBrow Pomade £15 (Medium Brown) I have seen this used by everyone I know and they all have amazing eyebrows and rave about this products. So I would love to add this to my small but growing eyebrow collection.
3. Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer £17.50 (Fair Nuetral) I have seen so many Youtubers rave about this from Zoella to LoveLaughandMakeup and it made me so envious as my concealer collection is growing!
4. Amazonian Clay Tartelette Palette £30ish I seen this online and thought it was utterly beautiful!
5. Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup £27 (0.5) Along with the MAC Studio Fix Fluid it seems like one of those up their foundations!
6. Morphe 35N Palette £15.95 A cheap palette compared to most of the other products but this looks amazing! i cannot believe the price so many amazing shades perfect for the colder seasons and party looks!
7. MAC Cork Lipliner £12.50 I am getting to the point now where I have so many lip liners I don't know which others to buy but this looks a the perfect brown toned colour to go with the Modern Browns Palette.
8. Urban Decay Electric Palette £38 Along with the Naked 2 these are the only palettes from Urban Decay I want for my collection. The pigmentations of the colours in this palette are incredible and so worth the price.
9. Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette £37 I do not own any Too Faced products so this would be the perfect piece to start off with as it so highly raved about and looks incredible! Apparently it smells rather good too haha..
10. MAC Stone Lipstick £15.50 I went in for this the other day and got talked into buying another lipstick by the girl GUTTED weak Zoe! So this will definitely be my next lipstick from MAC.
11. MAC Prolongwear Concealer £17.50 NC15 a concealer I have a lot of interest in as it apparently works well with the Studio Fix Fluid.
12. Laura Merceir Ambre Vanille Honey Bath £33 My only bath product on this list I have seen this in the high end Youtube videos and it looks amazing especially with the little wooden beehive spatula, I have smelt this before and it smelt amazing!
13. Finally, MAC Faux Lipstick £15.50 I chose between this lipstick and Brave for Christmas and chose Brave but it looks a lovely pinky nude shade.

Well that's everything for my high end and drugstore wish lists, don't think I'm spoilt because I intend to buy all these with my own money which i work hard for. Thanks for the read my lovelies!

All my love,

What I got for Christmas 2015...

So I was super spoilt this Christmas, but I'm not one of them spoilt girls who gets everything they want and most of the time anything I do want when it's not Christmas I buy myself with money I earn because my parents payed for enough for me as a little girl. So in no way am I bragging because I know a lot of bloggers and Youtubers say this but I LOVE these kinds of posts maybe because I'm nosey in regards to stuff like ''what I got for Christmas' or 'what's in my bag' I'm a huge follower of this kind of stuff, so here goes...

So this is just an overview image of all the lovely gifts I got, I know it looks an awful lot but this was from friends, family, Nathan, Nathan's family and his grandparents and each of them received gifts back of me.

So obviously my mum asked me if there was anything in particular I really wanted for Christmas and I just said like bath stuff really because she knows I love soap and glory Sugar Crush so she picked up a Zest A Girl Can Get set for me which included a body wash, scrub body spray and a little ducky. Which my mum said reminded her of me as soon as she saw it and I love him!

Along with that set she picked me up a Once Upon A Lime gift set with small travel size of the sugar crush products inside which I will use for travelling and sleepovers at Nathan's but one of the most extravagant sets I received was the Well I'll Be Glammed makeup gift set that consisted of Thick and fast Mascara, Archery, Smoulder Kohl, Supercat, Sexy Motherpucker Lipgloss in Candy Queen and another in Plums Up, a Love At First Blush, Solar Powder, 6 shades of Lid Stuff and 3 makeup brushes for bronzer, blusher and eyeshadow.

My lovely best friend Emily also picked me up a Once upon a lime set also as she knows I love Sugar Crush along with a Zoella Soap Pop which I had just mentioned in conversation and the ultimate sweetheart that she is picked me one up! Can we just establish her awesome wrapping skills!

Now my lovely little neighbour Jay who I look after in Fridays surprised me with a lovely Soap and Glory cracker filled with lip glosses so I think I got like every Soap and Glory lipgloss for Christmas with all the sets I received haha!

Finally my last soap and glory gift set was the Whole She-bang £30 that I get every year well for the past 3 years anyway, as me and my mum agree it is well worth the money for all the products you get!

Such a stunning set and this along with the rest will last me all year!

Onto clothes, so at christmas my parents rarely buy me clothes the first reason being the sales and secondly at the minute I'm trying to loose weight so I don't wanna buy something beautiful and it be too big for me. Fair play something being small I can work to fit into it which I am doing but I don't want anything to go to waste. Anyway, I did receive a beautiful scarf of Nathan's grandparents which I am in love with and have wore it everywhere like shopping etc, secondly were a pair of mittens that I seen in George at ASDA that were around £8 and I fell in love with because they match a wrap around I have but my mum picked them up on her own to surprise me. Last but not least, is an amazing hoody from help for heroes which I have wanted for SOOOOO LONG like all Nathan's family wear them and I wanted one so me and Nathan got matching ones well his is black but same style! I love this I wear it all the time with leggings and stuff its so comfy and huge on me!

Onto cosmetics, so my mum knows I am a huge mac fan so from her and my dad (obviously my mum picked haha) were some products that I had been lusting over! First off was the mac mineralize skinfinish in soft and gentle then spice lipliner and Brave lipstick along with two pigments in rose and Naked. The picture of the pigments is probably my favourite so stunning! Along with some products I bought myself from soap and glory as it was 3 for 2 in Boots and if I spent over £15 I got a free gift so I picked up the Kickass Camouflage concealer in Light, the One Heck of a blot all day liquid to powder foundation in Fair Enough and I'm loving it so far and last the Glow All Out Highlighting Powder which is stunning!

Here's a look altogether!

Along with the gift set I received for spending over £15 that had a blush,mascara and lipgloss inside.

Bits & bobs

So onto the random parts of What I received, of Nathan's sister the lovely Jane I received a pop figure of 'Peasant Belle' from Beauty and the Beast and she's in her lovely blue dress, it's funny actually because I bought Jane a pop figure too of Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon along with the little Build-A-Bear bear for the Minions which I was happy I could get for her as Nathan told me she really wanted it. Along with a beautiful necklace and storage box of Nathan's parents which was lovely!

Ofcourse I put her next to my belle cup! I absolutely love her, definitely collecting the rest!

Along the lines of Disney I also received a minnie mouse stocking which my mum filled with chocolate and my favourite cadbury foamy snowmen and some daisy duck tsum tsum socks which I actually have on as I write this hahaha! Not to mention the funniest little snowman from Frozen Fever that talks when you talk to it, me and my mum have a good laugh saying 'zoe smells' and it repeating us hahahaha!

So along with bits and bobs my parents bought me some stationary, my mum knows I love stationary and gold with polka dot along with pastels so when she saw this gold organiser set she picked it up for me in BHS along with the VelvetGhost stationary bits from Primark, I love them though they look so sleek on my new desk for my iMac and really professional along with my little Frozen Fever snowman that guards my mac lip pencils...

 These all now sit nicely on my new desk from Ikea that was £30 I think

Almost at the end now, but one of my final was a bag I had been lusting over FOREVER the Victoria's Secret duffel bag in black and grey which I now take everywhere I go! It is so beautiful with the PINK logo along the strap and fine detail all over! 

Last but not least was my big surprise of my parents! A set of the GHD Arctic Gold Curve soft curl tong in a gift set and some Cloud Nine Straighteners which I literally screamed at when I opened them!

So finally onto what the lovely Fiance got me for christmas, now Nathan felt awful because he had left my big gift the Zoella box at camp (why he took it to camp I don't know haha). But it is filled with lovely smelling bath and body products...

So he thought he needed to buy me more but he honestly didn't I think he just loves to spoil me hahaha! Anyway, from Nathan I received a beautiful striped box filled with  Lush bath treats and Victoria's Secret goodies! 

THE BOX SMELT SO GOOD IT WAS UNREAL! Even though I had a cold hahaha

So as I mentioned he bought me some Victoria's Secret goodies which consisted of a night shirt in grey which is so soft and cosey! I have actually wore it out with leggings and my Timberlands before hahaha...

Secondly was a kind of naughty little night top for when I stay over as I like this style and this little sequin bow on the back is beautiful!

It's a little cheeky this top but it's so comfy and like gives you room to breath so I love it!

Nathan is a true gem like and I couldn't be more grateful as he had already put a ridiculous expensive ring on my finger!

Well that's everything I received for Christmas 2015 hope you enjoyed my lovelies! I am so super grateful of everything and hopefully all my friends,family and Nathan enjoyed there gifts. I'm sure Nathan did because I spoilt him rotten!

All my love,
