Beauty Wishlist #37

My beauty wishlist has never been so expensive! I don't know what it is about this time of year but it makes me want to shop! There are so many new and exciting releases at the moment that I have to have them in my life to see if they are worth the hype or not! I also have a bit of an obsession with Charlotte Tilbury and basically need every product from the brand in my life!

Makeup Brand of the Year

If there is one thing I love trying, its new makeup products and brands. There has been some massive stand out brand for me and while they still don't ship to the UK directly (come on Colourpop, get on this!), they are the stand out brand of the year! Colourpop Cosmetics is massively raved about and I must admit, I was a little sceptical at first but the products are some of the best on the market. From their lippie sticks to eyeshadows and highlights to the new crème gel liners Colourpop know exactly what they are doing! 
Makeup Brand of the Year

Bioderma Sensibio H2O

If there is one product I have really enjoyed trying out this year, it is Micellar Waters. I have tried so many different ones from the high street but never the most famous one - Bioderma Sensiblo H2O. Having heard nothing but amazing things about this product I knew I had to try it. So when I saw it on a Black Friday offer for around £5 I knew it was the perfect time to give it a try.

Why I Love WWE

Bit of a different most from me today, I thought I would share my love of WWE today! Whenever I talk about WWE on Twitter some people are always so surprised about how much of a fan I am and it has actually found me a wonderful internet friend, ahem Anastasia (Dainty Desires) who actually did a post about why she loves WWE which inspired me to do mine so give hers a read too - link here. It actually surprised me how many of us bloggers watch WWE so I always love having chats with these ladies on Twitter about whats going on each week! 

2015 Beauty Favourites

With only a few days left of 2015 I thought I would share my favourite products of the year. This was extremely hard to pick out my all time favourites because I had so many favourites but these products I have picked are ones I don't think I can ever be without! There are mainly beauty products but I have included two of the best skincare items I have ever used, I cannot recommend them enough! Can you believe 2016 is almost here?!

What I Got For Christmas 2015

I can't believe Christmas has been and gone again, I hope you all had a great few days! I thought I would share a few of the gifts I was lucky enough to receive this year. These blog posts are always my favourite, I am so nosey, I love seeing what people got! I got some amazing makeup bits, reviews will be coming in the next couple of months I'm sure. I also ordered myself a little Christmas present from MAC so I will talk about that in a week or so once it arrived. Onto what I got for Christmas...

US Exclusive Chapsticks

Why is it when you want something you can't get it you want it even more?! This is exactly how I was with these two chapsticks. Having heard Carliestylezz talk about her love of them for years in her YouTube videos ,I had to track them down and find a way to get them to the UK. If you have seen my Colourpop hauls you'll know that I use a service called Shipito to get US products to the UK so this is how I got these Chapsticks, you can find out more about Shipito in this post - link.

Merry Christmas!! I can't believe its Christmas Day already, it makes me a little sad because its all over for another year after today I must admit.

Everyday Face: Christmas Eve Edition

Happy Christmas Eve!! I thought I would share the makeup I am using today as I have made a little more effort, with it being Christmas Eve and all. I have been loving the Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette and have been using it everyday since it arrived so I knew I had to use it again today because I am actually obsessed with it. When it was first released I wasn't too fussed about it as I thought the shades weren't for me but I couldn't have been more wrong.

Yankee Candle Christmas Eve

Can you believe it's Christmas Eve tomorrow, I am SO excited! Christmas Eve is my favourite day of the whole year so I am hoping to wake up super early and spend the day with the family eating yummy food and watching Christmas films. Over the past few years it has become a tradition to burn Yankee Candle Christmas Eve..on Christmas Eve. It has become a scent that always makes me think of good and happy Christmas memories.

Preowned Jewellery & Handbags at Xupes

I don't know about you but I have extremely expensive taste. I am always lusting over pieces which are out of my price range but I am actually saving so that I can treat myself to a little piece of luxury. I don't see a problem with purchasing preowned goods, especially from Xupes, as you are still going to be purchasing a product in fantastic condition and it might even be better than what you was looking at originally from brand new at a lower price!

Barry M Limited Edition Gelly Nail Polishes

The Barry M Gelly range is my favourite formula of nail polish from the high street, next to the Barry M Speedy Quick Dry line, so when I saw these two limited edition shades I knew I had to get my hands on them. Specially after my cousin (Mr Boom Nails) told me how great they were! Whenever Barry M releases limited edition shades at Christmas I always have to pick at least one of them up, I am still obsessed with the Christmas Tree glitter from last year.

Simple Micellar Cleansing Water

Micellar waters are one of my favourite products to remove my makeup with, second to Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish. Over the past couple of months I have been testing out so many micellar waters and trying to find which ones are the best. The Simple Cleansing Micellar Water has been a must have in my evening skincare routine.

2016 Travel Bucket List

With 2016 almost here I have been thinking a lot about what my new years resolutions should be and creating a little bucket list of things I would love to do and achieve in 2016. I must admit I am not the best at sticking to goals but doing a bucket list I love because I like to tick off things and helpfully in 2016 many things will be ticked!

BareMinerals Glow All The Way Gift Set

Can you believe it is Christmas this week?! It has come around so quickly. If you are looking for a last minute gift this might be the perfect option, especially if you are going to be travelling through the airport this Christmas. BareMinerals is a brand that I haven't tried too much from and this set is a perfect way to test out some of the products before deciding if you want to purchase the full sizes.

Molton Brown Black Peppercorn Bauble

When I think of luxury body products I always think of Molton Brown. For this Christmas Motlon Brown have released a number of gift sets as well as these little Shower Gel Baubles. I cannot resist anything Christmas related so when beauty meets Christmas I get so excited. I must admit, this might be the best packaging for a festive shower gel, ever!

Lush Magic Wand

Its no secret that I love Lush at Christmas time and one of my all time favourite scents is Snow Fairy. For years I have been buying the Snow Fairy shower gels and scented bubble bars but I had never tried one of the reusable bubble bars until now. While these are on the more expensive side of the Lush Christmas products I do think they are actually much better value for money, I will have to stock up on these before they are gone for another year!

£25 or Less Christmas Beauty Gifts

Beauty Gifts are pretty much a no brainer when it comes to gifting the ladies in your life. Everybody loves a beauty gift set whether it be makeup, body care or skincare. I always love to gift my Mum beauty sets at Christmas because she loves makeup but takes after me with her taste as they loves brands like Benefit and MAC. Almost all of the Christmas beauty sets are good value for money and there is normally a discount code floating around online!

Top 5 Winter Lip Products

I absolutely love lip colours during the colder months because I love a darker lip. Obviously you can wear whatever shade you like year round but I like to be seasonal. These five shades are my favourites for this time of year and most of the shades are from the berry family...I do love a berry lip! All but one of these lip colours are very affordable so if you are looking for some darker lip colours I would definitely recommend any of these.

Yankee Candle Bundle Up

Yankee Candle Christmas scents are my all time favourites. Each year Yankee Candle release a few new scents for the holiday season and one of the ones for this year is Bundle Up. I love anything that smells like Christmas as long as it doesn't have cinnamon in it and this one has become one of my favourites this month.

Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette

When I entered a giveaway to win the Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette, I never expected to win but now I am the lucky owner of it! I have never owned any of the Naked palettes apart from the Naked Basics 2 which I didn't really like if I am honest as I prefer warmer toned eyeshadows. I wasn't sure how much use I would get out of this palette but I have used it everyday since it arrived!

Christmas Jumpers Wishlist

It just going to be Christmas Jumper Day on the 18th here in the UK for Text Santa so it is time to get the Christmas Jumpers ready! I really love Christmas Jumpers and already have a few in my wardrobe but as you don't really wear them everyday they last for a good few years. I have found some great Christmas jumpers this year that I had to share with you this evening. Can you believe its only 10 days until Christmas Eve?!

Zoeva Individual Rose Golden Vol. 2 Brushes

It's no secret how much I have fallen in love with Zoeva this year. They have quickly become my favourite makeup brush brand, not only for the amazing quality of the brushes but also the colour options. When I heard Zoeva were going to be releasing the Rose Golden brushes in single options I knew I needed a couple in my collection.

Baker Days Christmas Cake + GIVEAWAY!

One of the main reasons why I love Christmas is because of all of the delicious food! I don't normally eat cake but at Christmas time I always like to have a little slice. I had heard such good things about Bakerdays and all of the hype is well deserved! I am also giving away a letterbox cake at the end of this post so make sure you enter!

I love glitter nails pretty much all year round but especially at Christmas. If you can't wear a bit of glitter at Christmas when can you! This year I have been trying out so many new nail polishes and I have found some incredible glitter nail polishes, perfect for the festive season. I will be definitely wearing all of these polishes until the new year!

Print Your Instagram Photos with Cheerz

My favourite social media platform at the moment has to be Instagram. I am totally addicted and just can't seem to stop scrolling through all of the pretty pictures in my feed. I had been wanting to get some of my Instagram pictures printed but I had no idea what service to use, then I found about about Cheerz.

Soap & Glory It's the Whole She-Bang

I think it is safe to say that everybody looks forward to the Boot's star gifts at Christmas time and the one everybody wants to get their hands on is the one from Soap and Glory. For the last few years I have always picked up the Soap and Glory star gift as they are always incredible value for money and this years is no different.

Getting my Degustabox is one of my favourite deliveries of the month! If you don't already know what Degustabox is, it's a food subscription box and each month you 9-14 food goodies. The November box is festive themed and I absolutely love the design on the actual box it arrives in - how cute are the little illustrations!

Colourpop Crème Gel Liners

I am one of the biggest Colourpop fans and I always get questions about how I get it shipped to the UK as Colourpop do not currently ship to England. I explained it all in this post (link here) and I highly recommend the service I use, I have never had any issues with them and found it to be affordable, if you do have any questions please tweet me. Colourpop recently launched their Crème Gel Liners and Crème Gel Pots and I knew I wanted to get my hands on a couple of the liners.

Weleda is a brand that I started using during the Summer and I can't believe I hadn't started using their products sooner. Weleda have some great Christmas gift sets for this year and the packaging is absolutely gorgeous and they are ready to gift! I always love when gift sets come already wrapped, means more time to eat chocolate!

If there is one thing I love, it's Christmas! And when Christmas and beauty come together it is like a dream come true for me. I have been keeping track of all of the Christmas releases since about September this year and the crackers this year are some of my favourites. I love that so many more brands have released crackers, they make such good gifts. I love the packs of crackers too - perfect for the ladies at the table on Christmas Day!

Having recently been introduced to Freedom skincare, I was excited to give some of their makeup products a try.

Stocking Fillers for £5 or Less

With only 21 sleeps until the big day I thought I should share some of my favourite stocking fillers for just £5 or less. These could also be gifted as Secret Santa gifts or just a little something extra to go along with a bigger gift. Almost all of these are actually a lot less than £5 - who doesn't love saving a bit of money - especially at Christmas!
