Haul //- Lily-Flame Candles


Hello everyone!

 Eeek! I'm super excited to share some recent purchases with you all! I am super excited to now own four lovely Lily-Flame candles. I can't believe how pretty these candles are and why I have not purchased them before now!These candles have made my self-pampering nights so much more relaxing.  



So the four candles I have are Blush, Daisy Dip, Dolly Rocker and Powder Puff. I really like all of the scents, but I have to admit that I have my favourite, which is Daisy Dip. This scent actually reminds me of the Calvin Klein perfume Eternity which smells amazing!

Both only do the Lily flame candles smell amazing, but look really pretty too! To be honest even if these candles were plain and not scented, I would still purchase them based on their appearence. 

To check out the candles for yourself, you can go straight to their website here. I however bought mine from a local shop, but I could be tempted to go on and purchases some of their other gorgeous smelly items!


Have you tired any of the Lily-Flame candles?

Limited Edition: Lush Pot O' Gold Review!

Hello everyone! 

Today I thought I would share with you all this little treat I picked up in Lush a while ago. At first I wasn't that all impressed with the scent of this one, I was imaging something a lot different than what it is.

However once I used the jelly in the shower I found I liked the scent much better! I actually been using this non-stop in the shower since I bought it. The pot which I got was the 100g, which I think is the only option for this shower jelly. Just like the other shower jellies are priced, this pot is just £3.50 which in my opinion totally worth the money.


The jelly itself has a gold shimmery look with flakes of gold glitter inside. The glitter isn't that noticeable when used directly onto your skin with water, but some of the glitter does come off even when just touching the jelly.

I have before used one of the shower jellies, which I friend kindly bought me for my birthday. I believe it was the Whoosh jelly, which had a gorgeous sweet smell. It actually saddens me that this is a limited edition shower jelly as it has really grown on me and I would most likely purchase it again.



Have you been lucky enough to try the lush Pot o' Gold??

Glossybox March 2015 // 'Step Into Spring'


Hello there everyone! 

Todays post is going to be a quick summary of what I received in this months Glossybox! I really love all of the items I received in this months box and I can't wait to start trying and testing them all out! 


Naobay Moisturizing peeling- 
This item is probably the item I am most excited to try! The packaging is elegant and simple looking and the product itself is natural and organic, so I can't wait to get using this one!

Essence Lash Princess Volume Mascara- 
The packaging for this mascara is super cute, and the brush actually looks like it might be quite good aswell! Since I am a little fussy when it comes to mascaras, I am hoping this one is as good as it looks!

Dove Advanced Hair Series-
I have seen these in on sale in many shops before recieving them in this months box and I have to admit that these particular Dove hair series isn't one I would think about trying! I have however tried a couple of other Dove hair care product before and loved them!



ncLA Nail Lacquer-
At first i was very torn on whether or or not I liked this product! I typically wouldn't wear orange shades on my nails as I personally don't think it suits me. However every so often when I end up with a shade like this one and I still force myself to put it on and try it! So I will have to wait and see about this one!

Sleek Makeup Pout Paint-
I have already received a Sleek pout paint before in a Glossybox before, I believe it was some time last year. I have to admit that it wasn't crazy on it and it actually shamefully sat at the bottom of my make-up bag for the rest of its days! But this time I will actually make it my mission to fully try out this product and not just waste it!


I hope you enjoyed taking a peak inside this months Glossybox with me! 
If anyone has any recommendations on any other beauty subscription boxes to start getting please let me know, as I want to start getting another one along side Glossybox!

Max Factor Creme Puff Blush // First Impression review

 Hello everyone! 

It is good to be back on here! I finally got a new, better laptop, so hopefully now I will be on and posting a lot more frequently. As for today I thought that I would share two make-up items I recently purchased and have been LOVING!

Here are the swatches of the two blushes. As you can see the Lovely pink shade is a light, shimmer shade which is fantastic for a more subtle make-up look.


Gorgeous Berries 30 is a much deeper shade, which also has a shimmer tint to it. However the shimmer is not as strong as in the Lovely pink shade. Both blushers are strongly pigmented so you really don't need much when applying either of them.

I believe there are six different shades altogether and as I really do like these two, I might purchase the other shades to add to my collection!

Review:// Zoella Fizz Bar


 Hello everyone!

 I purchased this Fizz Bar by Zoella from Superdrug a few weeks ago when they cam out in the shops. But I have only now got round to actually using it! I saw quite a lot of hype and talk surrounding the launch of the Zoella 
products, so I decided to try it for myself.

The scent of the Fizz bar is very light, fresh and what I would describe as a clean scent. However my only negative point about the fizz bar was that once added into the bath I found it hard to smell the scent with the bath water. That is my only (very small) negative about this bar, as I really love everything else bout it!


The packaging in my opinion is gorgeous and very sophisticated in regards to the colours and design of the wrapper. The bar itself is very cute, engraved with a 'Z' in each cube.

So that is it for this quick little review of just one of the cute Zoella products, available here for anyone that is interested! I am actually intrigued to try out the  bath cream and body lotion aswell! 

Have you tried any of the Zoella products yet???

Nails Inc Glamour...


Hello everyone!

 Today I thought I would share with you all a really great find in Glamour magazine. In the December issue there was a free Nails Inc London nail polish, with a couple of different colours to choose from I picked the red shade which is Tate. 



I really love it when I find a free item in a magazine that I would actually use! Excuse the messy nail painting, but I was in a bit of a rush putting this on (I clearly got too excited to try a new nail polish!)


Have you received any great free items recently?

Glossy Box // December 2014


 Hello everyone! 

I have been anticipating this December Glossybox for months now! With the festive season already upon us, it was a lovely additional surprise to receive a very festive looking glossy box! So lets take a look inside at what I received!



 1. Anatomicals Zap! Zap! Zap! Day and night spot stick-
I believe I have only ever received a product by Anatomicals once before in a glossy-box, so I was quite excited to see this product in this months glossy-box. My skin tends to be very temperamental at times, so I will be interested to see if this product helps when my skin breaks out!

2.  SkinPep Hydra Boost Acid serum-
With all this cold weather, I can't wait to test out this skin hydration serum on my dry skin! I have received a couple of different sample size SkinPep products, which I actually enjoyed using! So fingers crossed this particular product works!

3. TRESemme Renewal hair and scalp tonic-
The full size bottle of this Tresemme  Renewal tonic was the first product to catch my eye when I first opened my box. I normally use a wide range of Tresemme products, but this is one I haven't even heard of before and I can't wait to try it!



4. All That Jazz Professional Nail Lacquer-
Getting into the Christmas spirit lately I have been loving glitter and sparkly nail polishes, especially those from the Barry M range! However this sparkly top coat (Lauren's Miss fancy pants) looks amazing! One of these nail polishes from this range is actually priced at £9.98! 

5. Bellapierre Cosmetics Cheek and Lip stain
In past glossy- boxes I have received a Bellapierre lipstick and also a lip gloss and I have loved both products! The shade I received was coral and looks much brighter in the photo, however it doesn't actually come out as vivid (thankfully!)

Overall I am super happy with all of the items I received in this months box, in a way glossy box redeemed itself in my books as I was getting a little disheartened with some of the products in the other past boxes. With items that where only sample size to products I couldn't or wouldn't use. However this months box has totally reminded me why I love buying and receiving these beauty boxes!

Have you received any great products within any Glossyboxes lately??
