* Christmas Wishlist *




Pandora Bow Charm £30
I literally couldnt wait for this years Pandora Christmas collection to come out after seeing sneek peeks back in the summer! I love this bow its just so simple and cute, it will look so good on my bracelet. I've got my eye on a couple of the others in the collection but this one is my favourite so will be on my list for sure. 

Charlotte Tilbury Eyeshadow Palette in The Golden Goddess £38
 One of Charlotte Tilburys eyeshadow palettes was always going to be on my wishlist but I wasnt quite sure which one. I was undecided between Dolce Vita and Golden Goddess. The lovely Corrie from DizzyBrunette3 included The Golden Goddess in a post and thats when i finally decided it was the one for me. It is a lovely bronzey palette and the glitter shade is to die for, I love abit of glitter!

Return to Tiffany mini heart earrings £105 & Return to Tiffany bead bracelet £185
I love a good piece of jewellery and have been lusting after these two pieces from Tiffany for awhile. I tend to go for studs for everyday wear so thought it was about time I got a decent pair and these are just perfect. 
I am also a massive fan of the Return to Tiffany bracelets. I love the chunky ones but just know it would annoy me being on my wrist. The beaded bracelets are gorgeous. They do a lot of different ones with different coloured hearts but my favourite is this one with the kinda rose gold heart, that way I can wear it with silver or with my rose gold watch. I love how simple and classic both pieces are and know I will get a lot of wear out of them.

Enrapture Extremity Heated Rollers £60 but currently £35 at Argos
I am quite low maintenance when it comes to styling my hair, I usually just give it a brush and im out the door. For a night out I add in abit of back combing and clip back of the fringe and thats about it. I do not own any kind of heat styling tool (I know, I know, how can I call myself a girl) so pretty much have straight hair all the time, unless I go back to old school and plait my hair before bed haha. Back in August I got my hair done at the hairdressers the morning of my uncles wedding and they put hair rollers in my hair to give me a bit of bounce and I LOVED how it looked. Ever since I've been reading review after review and these seem like the best heated rollers on the market, and at pretty much half price atm such a bargsss!


I cannot believe how quickly this year is going! I've tried to put off thinking about Christmas just yet as I still feel its too early but my mum keeps probing for my wishlist while reminding me its only 5 weekends away so I better get my butt in action with Christmas shopping haha. 


What is on your Christmas Wishlist?

Release your inner Diva


                         Mac - Diva £15.00


Hope you have all had a lovely weekend (:
Every year i cant wait for the winter months to come along so I can whip out all my vampy lip colours, not too sure I could pull off a dark lip in june haha. 
Last year I was obsessed with Mac's Rebel which is a dark pinky/purple so for this Winter I wanted a dark red/berry colour. 
After looking at hundreds of swatches online I finally settled for Mac's Diva and I am in love.
It is quite dark and at first I thought that maybe it was a little bit too dark for me but I applied a little bit more warmth in my face and it was fine. I have worn it all weekend and can see this being my go to colour this winter!

What is your favourite winter shade?

At the moment Im loving Nars Orgasm


#4 Lipstick (or any other lip product)
For this time of year i love vampy lips so Mac's Rebel & Diva, love love love

I use the standard black rimmel eyeliner for my waterline, been using it since I was 15 love it,

#8 Shampoo/Conditioner
I am in love with the L'Oreal Ever Riche shampoo and conditioner, i use the nourishing and
 taming one with is for very dry hair. These smell really nice and make my hair feel amazing. 
I recently had a weekend away and took these with me for me and my mates to use, 
they loved them and couldn't believe it was L'Oreal as they just feel like luxury products! 
These are often on 3 for £12 at boots and i make sure i stock up! TRY THEM!

Autumn Nails 🍁

                         Nails Inc - Piccadilly Circus £9.90


Hii Guysss,
First off please excuse the nails pic, I am rubbish at painting nails and will openingly admit this... now thats out the way on to the post hehe.

 As much as I love a bright neon pink nail in the summer, I am 100% a vampy nail kinda girl. I love this time of year as all the berry, browns and dark purples start to come out. 
This polish by Nails Inc has to be one of my favourites, it is very similiar to the popular Barry M- Rasberry. 
At £9.90 Nails inc is abit pricey but I really like the way it applies, but a lot of the time Nails inc comes free with magazines etc so keep your eye out!

What is your favourite Autumn nail colour?

Work FOTD




Hiii Guysss,

So this is pretty much my everyday work makeup. Im head receptionist for an oil company so I just keep it quite simple to be professional, plus i work with a lot of older people who constantly tell me 'you don't need all that slap' so i reckon if i came in with a dark smokey eye and red lip they might just have a heart attack haha

Face
Simple light moisturiser 
Clarins Instant smooth primer self tanning 
Estée Lauder Double wear - Tawny
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer - No 2
Rimmel Face Powder -Translucent 
Benefit Hula - for contouring
Nars Orgasm   

Eyes
Benefit eyeshadow - Bikini Line
Mac eyeshadow - Espresso (also used for my eyebrows)
Lancôme Hypnose mascara

Lips
Estée Lauder - Vanilla Truffle (My fav!!)


I know its nothing too exciting but its my makeup routine 5 days a week at the moment so thought i would share! Gone are the days I worked at Benefit and the more makeup the better *depressing moment* but i wont lie sometimes i did just want a boring makeup day... maybe not 5 days a week tho haha the joys of office work ayyy ;)
