The Glamour Party Beauty Edit Box

Hi Lovlies! 

So iv the other day i was looking around different websites looking at different monthly subscription boxes and when looking on the Latest In Beauty site i came across this limited edition Glamour, which i believe was released around Christmas. What was even better was that it was on sale the box was usually 16.99 but there was a 20% code (GLAM20) which meant i was able to get my hands on this box for £13.59 which is amazing because this box contains 13 products plus a free 12th month subscription to the your iPhone/Ipad.

                                                                                                                                                                           

Burts Bee Lip Shimmer in Rhubarb-
I have never tried anything for Burt's Bees so i was very happy that this lip balm was included in the box, it leaves  a lovely red gloss on the lips and has a lovely minty scent. 

Collection Lengthening Mascara- 
I love trying new mascaras to try and find a cheaper alternative to my favourite Benefit They're Real Mascara, since receiving this mascara i have been really impressed with it, and for the £3.99 price tag i think i will picking this up again.

Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner In Black Amethyst -
Recently iv been really in to trying new eye liners and seeing which ones work for me and which ones don't, and Stila is another brand that i have been wanting to try for a while. So far i have only swatched this product but it seems to be very buttery and easy to use and like the name suggests it seems like it will be very easy to smudge and at the usual£13 (almost the price i paid for the whole box!) i think this makes the box a bargain. 

Wild About Beauty Powder Eyeshadow In Fern-
I had actually never heard of this brand in the past but the shadow is a lovely bronze shade and is very pigmented and buttery! i love the little bumble bee embossing!. 

Lola Nail Polish In Stone Grey-
Again this is another brand that i hadn't heard of and it was till i did a bit more research that i realised it was a Marks & Spencer's brand. I have tried this polish out and whilst i like the colour i found that on me it chipped quite quickly! but i will be giving it another go.

Vinchy Purete Thermale 3 in 1-

Recently i have been really into trying new skin care so receiving a good size sample of  3 in 1 cleanser is great! and from a brand i have never tried before is even better!.

XEN-TAN Luminous Gold Gel-

Tanning has never really been something that i have been into, mainly because i am so pale! but i am now more willing to try different fake tans for when I'm going out so its nice to have a decent size sample to try for a high end tanning brand. 

L'oreal Paris Elnett Satin-

It is always handy to have a travel size hairspray for your handbag or in my case my university dance bag to put those lose hairs back into place (especially after a dance class).

Vinchy Idealia Life Serum- 

Again another sample from the Vinchy brand, this is probably the smallest sample but still a good size to try out the product, and since i haven't really used a serum before I'm looking forward to trying this one out.

Philip Kingsley Shampoo & Conditioner-

I have recently changed my hair to blonde so I'm trying to find the best hair products to make sure it says in the best condition possible. I have wanted to try Philip Kingsley products for a while so I'm glad that i have got these generous sample sizes.

Pop Band London- 

I have seen similar hair bands to these in the likes of Topshop and H&M but have never thought to pick them up, but I'm very happy iv tried them because they keep you hair back without damaging or splitting the hair, plus they look cute on your wrist!.

SKYN Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels-

I have been wanting to try something like this for a while as i love relaxing on a Sunday evening so these will be great to help keep them bags away hopefully!.

Thanks for reading, 

So what is your favourite subscription box?

Tesco Beauty Bargains

Hello! 

So this evening i headed to my local Tesco home plus store for a Good Luck card for one of my friends and came out with a lot more!. 

For some reason Tesco had a load of items very cheap! so when i noticed the beauty section of the sale i headed straight there! So here are some of the bits that i picked up...

Bourjois Paris Structured Volume False Eyelashes- 

Now I'm not the biggest the biggest false eyelash wearer, well actually i think iv only wore then once for dance show and possibly 1 Halloween. I just find sometimes that they irritate my eyes whether its because of my contacts i don't know, but when i saw these for 80p! down from £8.00 i could not resist plus it comes with glue, even if i just pass them on to a friend or keep them for Halloween as they are a bit dramatic!.

St Tropez Bronzing Mousse-

Like the lashes something else that i hardly use is Fake Tan, I'm rather pale so i can never be bothered sometimes with all the bother of false tanning, but for my brothers wedding i did get a spray tan and did rather like the tanned look, and because i don't tan naturally i suppose ill have to settle for the false stuff!. So when i spotted this little St Tropez tanning mouse for only £2 down from £10 i had to try it out! may do a before and after post if i ever use this!.

Elegant Touch Envy Wraps Bling Kaleidoscope-

In the past i have tried to use nail wraps but i could never really get the hang of them! but iv been wanting to give them another go so when i saw this lovely packet for only 53p i couldn't resist!. it comes with 18 wrapped in a lovely pattern with little diamante and are a mixture of yellows, pink,blues and purples , so will look lovely in the summer! plus they come with a little buffer too. Like the rest when i get round to using them I'll be sure to do a review. 

Good Things Face The Day SPF15 Moisturiser-

I have never tried anything from the Good Things brand before but have heard good things about them so when i saw this moisturiser for £2 form £7.99 i decided to give it a wurl! I think it will be a good summer product as it has a good SPF and is in the sent Goji Berry & Papaya which is a lovely fruity smell but isn't too overpowering and irritating on the skin. 

Olay Total Effects 7x Night Touch Of Sunshine-

So i actually picked this product up for my mum she doesn't really have a lot of good skin care and she usually uses mine so when i saw this nightie anti-ageing moisturiser with a touch of sunless tanner i had to pick it up for her. this was only £2.85 from £14.26 so that was a  massive saving!.

Yankee Candle Tart Burner-

Now i know that this isn't really beauty relates and it actually wasn't on sale but iv been looking for a nice tart burner for a while after buying a bunch of tarts from Yankee Candle, and i finally found this one, even though i did stand there for a good 5 minute decided between two patterns! I love burning tarts as i find they last longer and have a stronger scent (plus they look pretty) and this was only £6. 

So that was the beauty/home bargains that i picked up from Tesco!

Have you picked up any bargains in the January Sales?

Girly Night Out Personalised Makeup Band

Hi lovelies! 

So a few months ago i was watching Tash from Its simply beauty get ready with me video (here) and i noticed the headband that she was wearing, iv been looking for a new makeup headband for a while as my No7 one was getting a bit grubby!. 

So after reading the description i realised it was from a website called Girly Night Out and i was rather surprised that it was only £4.99 considering it was personalised plus they offer free delivery!

It comes in 6 colours (i have the red one but would say it was more of a burgundy red)and you can personalised it with up to 25 characters. 

I got this for a couple of family and friends for Christmas and they absolutely loved them so it is a good gift idea for any women/girls in your life!  
I love using my headband especially to keep all my hair out of my face when doing my makeup or even when I'm just doing things round the house and want to keep my hair back.

Thank you for reading this quick Sunday Post!

Please check out the Girly Night Out website they have 

some lovely and quirky quote t-shirts plus

they also let you personalised some of the clothing!

Have a lovely day!

January Fashion Wish List

          So Today i thought i would put together a post of some of the items that have been on my current fashion wish list and that i have been lusting over

...Enjoy!

(Bag, Ring, Watch, Dress)

Ted Baker Harpel

Now this bag combines a lot of things i love handbags, Ted Baker and Rose Gold! this bag is currently on sale from £249 to £ 174, which is still a lot of money! but I'm going to try find this bag in store and see if it is worth treating myself! (because we all need to once in a while) 

Pandora Leaf Ring

When i was shopping with my friend the other day she was buying a Pandora ring so whilst helping her choose one i came across this beauty! not the usual Pandora ring that everyone usually gets but i really love this one when i tried it on. Its funny because i don't really wear rings that often and I'm usually a rose gold or just gold fan but the diamante & leaf design really drew me in.

Michael Kors Watch

Back in July when i was in New York i bought my first piece of rather expensive (yet rather affordable than some) piece of jewellery which was a Rose Gold MK watch which has diamante's. Very similar to the one in the picture but without the pink band, but after seeing this one i really like it and in a few years maybe something i look at getting for a special occasion. 

Monochrome Dress

Now this is something in my wish list that won't break the bank as much! i spotted this dress on the New Look website and for £20 plus my student discount i think it would make a lovely staple in my wardrobe, who doesn't love a bit of monochrome!and the scuba material looks like it would be lovely in the summer.

So what products are on your current wish list?

Thankyou for reading!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

2014 has been a great year for me and i hope it was for all you too, and i hope 2015 will be an amazing year for everyone too! like always i set myself some new years resolutions and like usual i forget about them after a few month but this year i am going to try and stay to them.

So i have made a list on Pinterest (Here) of resulting and things i want to do/try in the new year!

So here is a few aims that i have set myself for 2015!

Disney Summer Programme 2016

Since i have known that Disney offered a summer programme i have always wanted to do it!, in June i can apply for the programme which won't start till summer 2016, but I'm going to everything i can this year to ensure that i have the best chance of getting on the programme! Did i mention i love Disney!

Capture the moment 

I love taking photos and think it is a create way to keep a bit of memorabilia of those precious moment! So this year I want to take more photos and maybe even treat myself to a new camera (any reccomendations?), I would love a Polaroid but I'm not sure how much I would use it ! But i also don't want to live my life through the lense so there has to be an equal balance.

'Charity is willingly given from the the heart'- Rush Limbaugh 

In the past several years i have done quite a bit of charity whether that has been in school or in my own person time, it is something that i love doing and find it very rewarding. But last year with my A-Levels, Prom Planning as well as starting university i didn't find a lot of time to organise much for charity!. So this year i am going to make sure that i do as much as i can to help some amazing charities! Please let me know if you have any unique or even some basic ideas that i can use to raise some money and awareness for the chosen charities. 

So here are just a couple of my New Year Resolutions that i am hoping that i will stick to and wish to achieve, of course i have the classic 'get fitter' goals that everyone seems to have, so this is something else I'm going to try do more this year outside of my usual dance classes!. 

I will be keeping my blog updated with how i am getting on with my revolutions, my Disney application experience, my snapshots and how my fundraising is going!

So what are your NY Resolutions?

&

what are you most looking forward to this year?

Thankyou

Holly

Lush and The BodyShop! (Sales Haul Part 1)

The Body Shop

The Body Shop isn't somewhere that i usually shop but i do really love their products so when i noticed there was sale on i knew i had to go in and pay them a visit. Now for Christmas i received quite a lot of body lotions and body products and I'm not sure how I'm going to get through them all so i thought id pick something a bit different up. I noticed their room & body sprays were on sale for £3.50 so i decided to pick 2 up in their limited editions scents of Frosted Cranberry and Vanilla Brûlée. I also picked up the Frosted Cranberry Lip Balm for £2 and the Vanilla Brûlée body polish for £5. You can shop the sale online here and if you are a student ask about joining Love Your Body system as you get some great deals which in 10% every time you shop for free instead of the usually fee of £5.

Lush

(L to R-Northern lights, Dashing Santa, Magic Wand, Star Light Star Bright, Christmas Eve, Snow Fairy Sparkle massage bar, Yog Nog soap and Holly Golightly)

I alway look forward to the Lush sale as i love to stock up of a bunch of products and they usually last me quite a while especially the shower gels. Every year Lush's Christmas product are on sale for 50% off, so of course i made a rather big purchase (did have to stop myself from getting one of the big gift sets!).

I hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas and had a lovely day with your friends and family and had some really yummy food (in my case too much!). 

One of my favourite videos and blog post to read is 'What i got for Christmas' one because I'm a bit nosey and because a lot of the items you may possibly be able to find in the sale!

Ugg Headphones- I was very surprised by my brothers other present for me, he got me a pair of ugg earmuffs which also connect to your phone and act as headphones, perfect for those cold train journeys in the morning to university. 

Rose Gold Bracelet- I Love rose gold! so one of my other brothers and my Sister in law got me a lovely diamante rose gold bangle!.
