/ forever 21, haul, lush, superdrug, the body shop
Haul | Forever 21, Superdrug, The Body Shop & Lush ♡
♥ Cha-ching purse. I got this because I was in need of a new purse, it wasn't in the sales. Actually nothing I got from Forever 21 was in the sales. Anyway, I got this purse purely because it feels nice, I wish you could feel it over the internet. It's so soft and the colour is beautiful.
♥ Nail tool set. This was such an impulse buy, I didn't plan on buying a nail kit ever really, but when I saw it I wanted it so much because it also feels really nice and it was quite cheap. I thought if I bought it, I would have more encouragement to shape my nails better and more often because the shape of my nails is truly embarrassing.
♥ Tote Bag. This was also an impulse buy in a way. I did want to buy a bag when I went out just not a tote bag, but when I was in the queue to pay I saw it and I just picked it up as they said 'next please' so I am happy I got it because it's so cute.
Lush
♥ Daddy-O shampoo. I have never used this shampoo before but it smells amazing! To be totally honest I only picked it up because it was purple, then I smelt it, read what it was and bought it. It's a shampoo for blonde's to keep their blonde in check. As my hair is dyed blonde, I thought it might help keep my hair as blonde as possible, for as long as possible. It also smells like palma violets, which is always a bonus.
♥ Ponche shower gel. This shower gel was in the sale, there was only 2 shower gels in sales and this was the best one if you ask me. Its called 'Ponche' which is a cool name, it smells amazing (like everything in lush) and it was reduced to £3 I think. They had bigger ones but I thought about it and I already got about 5 bottles of shower gel for Christmas so I didn't need it.

The Body Shop
♥ Cranberry Joy Body Polish. I really didn't need anything I got from The Body Shop but last year I got a lot of cranberry joy products and this year I got none, I thought they just didn't make any this year so when I went to The Body Shop I was unbelievably happy when I saw them. This body polish was 50% off and the lid is abit broken but I'm sure I'll survive.
♥ Cranberry Joy Body, Linen & Room Spray. I absolutely love The Body Shop's body, linen and room spray's, I think I've been through about 5 this year. I also love cranberry joy so this was something I just had to buy, even though I didn't really need it.
♥ Sweet Lemon Hand Cleanse Gel. This is the first hand cleanse gel I've ever bought from The Body Shop and I've used it once since yesterday. I love lemon so I can't see myself hating it and its the perfect size to put in your bag.
Superdrug
♥ Tea Tree Mud Mask. I got 2 of these and its probably my a millionth time buying them, tea tree face masks are all I really use as they leave my skin looking and feeling amazing. The Superdrug ones are favourite, I also love The Body Shop tea tree face mask as well, its just a bit overpriced for what it is.
♥ L'oreal Triple Resist Hair Masque. This is my first time using a L'oreal hair masque and one of the first hair masques I've really used. I've used it once since I got it and it smells amazing, left my hair untangled and my hair looking amazing so I can't complain so far. I may do a full length review on it in the future.
♥ Batiste Coconut & Exotic Tropical Dry Shampoo. This is the first time I've used this specific dry shampoo, I've always used Batiste as a dry shampoo and never been disappointed. I usually use the one made specifically for blondes, it doesn't smell as good as this one but my hair looks slightly lighter after using it.
I also bought a Teen Vogue as you can see in my first image because its one of my favourite magazines!
That is it for my haul, I hope you liked it. I hope to do a haul at least once a month because they are fun posts to make and it gives me an excuse to go shopping.

Hello everyone! Today I thought I would do a someday summary, its currently the afternoon and I have just finished putting all my Christmas presents away. After Christmas, my presents are always just scattered in my room as I am yet to find them a place. Today I went to Boots which, in case you guys don't know, is a drugstore/pharmacy. I live about 5 minutes away from a small one and its never really that busy, last year it had an amazing sale because not many people really go there, I got alot of things. I was slightly disappointed this year because it didn't have many things in the sale, I was hoping for Soap and Glory things to be in the sale because I love Soap and Glory but they didn't :( However I did get a Sanctuary Spa gift set, as you can see in the picture above. Sanctuary Spa is divine if you ask me. The set I go is a 'luxury travel set' but I'm not actually travelling anywhere I just got it because I love these products. Inside it contains body wash, body scrub, body moisture spray, hand cream & bath float. It was only £6, which is a complete bargain as it was supposed to £12 so I was very happy.
I realized in my Christmas post I didn't include any of the clothes I got, I didn't get many clothes as people say they 'find it hard buying clothes for me because I have weird taste'. I did however get 2 jumpers and a pair of pajamas. I am wearing one of my jumpers today, its an oversize one with a lion on it from Forever 21.
I feel this post was a bit long for a someday summary so I apologize. Anyway, tomorrow I am spending my whole day hitting the sales so if the sales don't disappoint I will do a haul for you all! Have a good day xo

Skincare/Gift Sets.
I am huge lover of gift sets! I got 3, the gingerbread man tin which is from The Body Shop and contained ginger body polish, shower gel, body lotion & a tiny heart shaped ginger soap. The second was a Kardashian Kolor nail gift set, I got 2 of them and they were miniatures of the Kardashian Kolor nail range. Lastly, I got a L'occitane one in a little basket, I absolutely love L'occitane so I was so happy with this gift. In the gift set it had a hand cream, hand gel, shampoo, conditioner, soap, shower gel, body lotion & shower oil. I have used almost all of them at least once since yesterday and they smell amazing! The skincare I got was a hot cloth cleanser by Liz Earle, it feels amazing on your skin and its quick and easy.
Calenders
This year I got 4 calenders which is completely insane considering last year I didn't get any aha. I got one from my mum, one from my friends, one from my nan and one from my grandad. I got an owl one, a cat one, a vogue one and a vampire diaries one. The vampire diaries is my favourite show so I loved this one.
I didn't get a great deal of books this year, simply because I don't read as much as I used to. I used to love getting annuals when I was younger but now I think I'm probably too old, aha. Anyway, I got 2 books by Candace Bushnell, I've never read anything by her before but I started watching the TV series The Carrie Diaries and I love it so much so I thought maybe I should read the books before I carry on watching. I also got a book called 'The Wonderful World of Fifi Lapin' and its basically book full of fashion tips by a stylish bunny, I started reading it yesterday evening and its so good! Highly recommended.
These are just some of my favourite gifts I got in my stocking that I thought would be nice to share. I got a (big) box of maltesers, chocolate coins, Kim Kardashian perfume and a journal. I love the perfume, I have never smelt it before and I honestly do love the smell of it. The journal I got I was thinking of using as a blog book kind of thing, to be more organised so I can plan out posts like when I will post them.
My main gifts from my parents were a Marc Jacobs watch and Samsung Galaxy s3. I love love love these gifts! My old phone was driving me insane and my old watch was falling apart aha. These gifts are just amazing and I hope they both last a long time.
So that is the end of my what I got for Christmas 2013 past. I hope you all liked it, I had such a good Christmas. I hope you all did aswell :) What did you all get for Christmas?
Also do you like the banner? I made it myself in photoshop so I don't expect it to be to the standard of a graphic designer but I tried hehe.

Hey everyone hope you all have a lovely christmas!
Merry Christmas everyone xxx
To begin with my hair is long and has been dyed 3 times. I am quite blessed with my hair as its naturally quite easy to handle and I never really get split ends. Anyway that is a brief description of my hair as you may want to know for this review. I first used this shampoo a couple of weeks ago and I have been through 2 bottles of shampoo & conditioner. Its amazing. I seriously mean that, I honestly think its one of the best shampoos I've used in a while.
Heres why I love it...
It does repair and shine. My hair was shiny for about 3 days and it felt alot better, I'm not 100% sure what repair specifically means, in terms of hair, but my hair feels better so I think it did repair :) A bonus to this was that it smells incredible, the smell didn't last as long as I would've wanted it to but I did use dry shampoo in between washes so I had the smell of that some days.
Thats all I really have to say about this shampoo. Its literally so affordable as well, you can buy it on amazon and in most stores, hope you guys enjoyed my shampoo review!
My next post will likely be 'What I Got For Christmas' as I love reading them posts and in no way will I be bragging about it, I just want to share it with you guys. I have noticed I have gotten alot more pageviews since my last post, did you guys like someday summary? I will be doing alot more :3
Have a great Christmas! Whats on your Christmas list?

Someday Summary
I though I would start doing someday summaries. If you don't know what they are its where you basically sum up your day in a cute little text post once in a while, I thought it would encourage me to blog more as it doesn't take that long and its fun.
I am loving...
♡Food: Carrot Sticks. Bit random I know but I am trying to eat healthier and these are just the perfect healthy snack.♡Book: Fashion Photography 101. This book is amazing if you love fashion photography, its by Lara Jade. You can buy it here. I would definitely recommend it if you want to make it as fashion photographer its an amazing guide.
♡TV Show:Freaks and Geeks. I recently just started watching and I know it started and ended years ago so I am abit late on the bandwagon for it. But its never to late, right?
♡Music: Ariana Grande. I've been in love with Ariana Grande's voice for about 2 years now and I do always listen to her alot but lately I have been listening to alot more of her as she has released a few Christmas songs, they are all so beautiful. (Although everything she sings sound beautiful regardless what its about).
♡Nails: Pink! As you can see in the image above my nails are currently a light pink and last week they were a hot pink, I'm just loving pink nails right now. By the way, my nails in the picture are 862 'Something Sweet' by China Glaze.
♡Product: Lip Balms. I have mainly been using my eos lip balm because my lips aren't doing well with the recent weather and eos lip balms sooth my lips amazingly well.
Life Update! ♡
I finish school tomorrow for just over 2 weeks for Christmas! Yay. So I will have alot more time to have fun and relax which ultimately means I will have more time to blog and more things to blog about. Also I am looking for a better and less basic template for my blog as I barely have any money with not having a job and spending all the money I get on Christmas Presents so I can't really afford to buy on right now. My next post will probably be in 2-3 days as I have plans (for once!) tomorrow and the next day. Hope you enjoyed this post! Xo |
| My Christmas Tree. |
1. Do you prefer a real Christmas tree or synthetic?
I've always had a synthetic tree so I would have to say synthetic tree. My current one is pink and we have a big one downstairs that is blue so not traditional colours either.
2. You're in a coffee shop, it's December, what do you pick?
Gingerbread muffin! Costa Coffee do the most amazing gingerbread muffins, they are so addictive. It even has a cute editable gingerbread man on the top.
3. What's your favourite colour scheme for decorating the tree?
As you can tell by my tree, theres no real colour scheme going on but my favourite Christmas colour is purple, by far.
4. Giving or receiving?
I'd have to pick both to be honest. I love buying people presents, especially if I know how much they want it, because the look on their face when they open it is fabulous. On the other hand, I love receiving presents because its such a good surprise, just not knowing whats inside.
5. To mince pie or not to?
Absolutely not! I hate mince pies, sorry guys.
6. Christmas day fashion
I always have a Christmas outfit, its just an essential for Christmas day. Its usually got alot of red in because its the most christmassy colour of them all. I usually go for something quite casual as I never leave the house on Christmas day so who do I have to impress?
7. What's your favourite Christmas song?
It has the be 'All I want for Christmas is you' by Mariah Carey but this year I am also loving 'Snow In California' by Ariana Grande. She has such a lovely voice, I could listen to her forever.
8. What's your favourite Christmas film?
The Grinch, I love that movie.
9. Open presents before or after lunch?
Before! No way could I wait until after lunch, haha.
10. What's your traditional Christmas lunch?
Most of us are vegetarians in my house (including me) we usually have a quorn roast instead. I tend to eat alot of yorkshire puddings and vegetables.
Hope you enjoyed me doing the Christmas tag! Xo

Kendall Jenner is my main fashion/beauty inspiration, she is just so effortlessly flawless. Her make-up is very simple, she applies the right amount. I made a set on polyvore as I don't own all these products so I couldn't do a make-up tutorial with me in. According to Seventeen she does use the Lancome mascara and I've read somewhere that she use smashbox primer. The rest are kind of a guess based on her general make-up look on red carpets and in KUWTK etc. She does wear false lashes when shes in events but I was creating a set to show the more natural make-up side of her like in her instagram photos. Also check out my Kendall Jenner collection here.
Happy December! This year has gone so fast, wow. Anyway, so as I have done some shopping this month I thought I would do a November favourites post. I don't have alot or at least I don't have as much as I wanted because the majority of the products I have bought this month have been Christmas presents. I love giving people Christmas presents but I hate buying them, I just wanna keep them all for myself :cThe first things I love are these two nail polishes by Rimmel. One is number 702 called marshmallow heaven (left) and the other one is number 404 called ballet pump perfection (right). I have worn them both once since I got them and they are long lasting finish like they say! My favourite is the ballet pump perfection one, I just love the colour and on that photo it looks redish but its actually a hot pink, in some light I thought it was red I couldn't get the correct colour with my camera sadly :(
I remember. They are a light faded blue colour (if you can see on the picture).
Moving on to skin care products, one I love this month is Anew Clinical eye cream. It is specifically for line correcting. Up to now I haven't noticed a massive difference but I love how it feels on my skin, after I use it around my eye is so smooth!
Lastly, my favourite song and TV show of November. My favourite song is 'Rooting for my baby - Miley Cyrus' (listen here) I have listened to this song about 100 times in the past 2 weeks, its addicting. My favourite TV show has been Ja'mie:Private School Girl. Its hilarious, it airs in Austrailia so I've been watching online. I would totally recommend it, season 1 has finished now and I'm not sure that there is going to be a season 2 but I hope so!

/ amazon, asos, ebay, fashionunion, feelunique, online shopping, shopping
Favourite places to shop online!♡
1. Amazon.co.uk
I absolutely love Amazon for everything, literally everything. Clothes, Food, Drinks, Books etc. Its my go-to website for anything and everything. Its cheaper than going to an actual shop and easier if you ask me. Also alot of products are free p & p which is a bonus.
2. Asos.com
I think Asos is essentially where my shopping online addiction started because when I first got my debit card I spent about 3 hours shopping on this site. Its free p & p worldwide! So you don't lose any money on paying p & p which kind of sold me on the website. Also the clothes are really good quality in my experience as none of them have ever ripped or arrived broken so far good service :)
3. Feelunique.com
I used to use feelunique alot for my make-up but now I use amazon alot more if I need some. However, I do still use this alot for skin/body care or perfume because its free delivery over £10 and I tend to spend over £10 every time I use this site. This christmas I've also ordered alot of gift sets because I think gift sets are the perfect presents and they sell them at reasonable prices so I would completely recommend this site if you're stuck for gift ideas.
4. Ebay.co.uk
I love love love Ebay! I find it alot cheaper than most places. Although, I do find that the product quality isnt as good as alot of places. I've never faced any problems with Ebay though and my parents sell alot of things on Ebay so its good for you if you're in need of extra cash :) I don't like this as much as Amazon but if Amazon doesn't have what I'm looking for this is my second choice.
5. Fashionunion.com
Fashionunion is alot like Asos in the sense that its a clothing website for women. The design is also very similar which is why I love them both so much, the sites are easy to use and a clean design. no clutter. However, fashionunion doesn't have free delivery like Asos but the clothes are really amazing so I'll forgive them.
So these are 5 of my favourite websites to use when I do online shopping! I hope you guys check these out, you won't regret it :)
