Love Me Beauty | Kat Von D

I recieved an email about a month ago advertising that Kat Von D make up was going to be in this months Love Me Beauty edit, I was pretty excited since at the time you could only purchase these items from the US. I've written a couple of blog posts about the brand Love Me Beauty and how their subscription boxes work, if you don't know though you receive 60 credits a month for £13.95 (including shipping) and each product is valued in credits according to their RRP and size. Most products are 20 credits each meaning you can purchase three items from the bouquets with said credits.

Scent Circus | Review

If you're a regular reader of my blog you will know how much I love candles, in fact I would go as far as saying it's become somewhat of an obsession. I came across this lovely little independent business called Scent Circus recently, who specialise in handmade premium quality soy wax melts. They are all handmade in Yorkshire, use natural fragrance oils and smell AMAZING.

Zoella | Bake My Day Gift Set

It's Christmaaaaaaaas! Just kidding it's still only September. I'm a bit ahead of myself here considering it's not even really Autumn yet, but when I heard that some of Zoella's new Christmas range was being released early for "price establishment" (whatever that may be) I had to see if I could get my mitts on it. Most of it was sold out online at Superdrug, but they had this set still in stock so I grabbed it quick. You may ask, "Steph why can't you wait until the end of September when its launched?" And i'll tell you why, it's GINGERBREAD scented and this excites me SO much.

Sleek | Solstice Highlighting Palette

I've only recently come across the brand, Sleek. My local Boots never used to stock it but after a recent revamp they have added a little Sleek counter, much to my delight. The only product I owned before buying this pallette was a blusher (Rose Gold), which is the perfect dupe for the Nars Orgasm. I kept seeing beauty bloggers reviewing this highlighting palette and it looked suspiciously like the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Palette, a limited edition product out last autumn that I so badly wanted, but at £65 couldn't really justify.

Warm Summer Nights | Yankee Candle

I know it's nearing the end of August and we generally associate September with Autumn but I'm hoping (and praying) for an Indian Summer, so I'm not breaking out the cosy candles just yet! These gorgeous scents are part of Yankee Candles "Warm Summer Nights" collection, I have three out of the four released and each one has its own unique but equally dreamy scent.

Cactus Obsessed

Recently I've developed an obsession with anything cactus print. I also love pineapples but that's a whole different story. I don't know where this has come from as I've never shown any interest in them before but it's seems to have become the in thing this summer and it's pretty much everywhere. These are my favourite pieces -

Tried & Tested | Beauty Edition

Over the last couple of months I've collected a few new beauty items, some of these items are relatively new and you might not of tried them yet. I love reading posts where people tell you if items are "hot or not", its genuinely helpful to know if it's worth spending the money trying out the product.

Pixi | Love Me Beauty

When I got the email from Love Me Beauty telling me they were adding Pixi products to their boutique i'm not kidding I let out a squeal. I LOVE Pixi By Petra and swear by the Glow Tonic (you can read my post about it here). The only other product I've tried from their range is the Glow Mist and I'm a big fan of that too. Miniature sized beauty products are my weakness but to be honest these are almost full size, Pixi have been very generous.

Origins Mix & Mask | Latest In Beauty

I have been wanting to try the brand Origins for the longest time but I never know where to start. They always have so many amazing products that I just don't know which one I should buy, I want them all but that is obviously not an option! If like me you love to pamper yourself and use face masks then this is the perfect little box from Latest In Beauty. It's almost like a skincare starter kit. Can you believe this box was £20 and free postage? The contents are worth £78.12 and the VitaZing Energy Boosting Moisturiser is worth £29 alone! As soon as I saw it I knew i had to snap it up immediately as I feared it would sell out and I was right.

Baking With Dr.Oetker | Part 2 Mug Cakes

Chocolate cake in only 1 mintue! Never have I heard anything sweeter. Mug cakes are obviously not a new thing but a mug cake mix is (well relatively!) and i for one am bloody excited about it. I enjoy baking cupcakes but sometimes you just fancy a bit of cake and you don't always want to bake 12 cupcakes, what a faff! Dr.Oetker have brought out a quick and easy cake mix that is ready in under 2 mintues (times vary on microwave settings).

St Moriz | Advanced Pro Formula

I'm a big fan of St Moriz, ive used their medium (sometimes even dark) mousse for years, so I was pretty excited to see they had not only had a revamp on their packaging which looks fresh and clean, but they had added a new collection to their line.

Yankee Candle | Red Raspberry

I love a good candle I do. I'm not sure where my obsession stems from but I find it very hard to walk past them in shops and get maybe just a little too excited when Yankee Candle release a new range. Your sense of smell is so powerful, because we encounter new odors when we are young smells often trigger memories from our childhoods and hopefully happy times. 

Well, that's the excuse I'm using anyway.

Latest In Beauty | BYOB

 Beauty boxes are a huge deal at the moment in the blogging world and I'm no stranger to them. I've on and off subscribed to different boxes for a few years but Latest in Beauty is slightly different. I love that the boxes are tailored to you and there's no subscription fees, you just buy a box as and when you want. Building your own box means you can choose exactly what you want to try, whenever you can afford it.

Salt Of The Earth | Natural Deodorant

Deodorants not something we put a lot of thought into is it? Until recently I just bought whichever one was on offer in Boots, that was until I read just how many parabens and chemicals were in our favourite brands!

Pineapple Funfetti Tray Bake

Sprinkles, who doesn't love sprinkles? I made funfetti cupcakes last year and they tasted great but let's be honest I made them mostly because I just love the pop of rainbow colours. I was going to bake them again but this time I decided why not make a tray bake, its simple, fun and would be great for any occasion.

Benefit | Dandelion Shy Beam

When you think of highlighters you think shimmer and a lot of it. I've nothing against shimmer, in fact I'm a big fan but if you suffer with super oily skin adding a sheen is not going to help. I'm pretty sure that this new Benefit highlighter is the first of its kind, I could be wrong but I've not seen one elsewhere. Dandelion Shy Beam is a liquid MATTE highlighter, yes I know it's matte! Not only is it housed in the most beatiful metallic pink bottle but it's by the far the best liquid highlighter I've ever used.

Maple And Whisky | Review

A while ago I came across this cute little Etsy shop called Maple And Whisky and instantly fell in love with their candles. I'm a bit obsessed with candles and own way to many so I didn't buy any at the time, but a couple of weeks ago I came across them again on Instagram and bought a few of their melts on impulse. I'm super glad I did though, they are gorgeous!!

Sugar Free Blueberries Muffins

If your on a bit of an health kick or just fancy eating less sugar then I think these little muffins of joy will be perfect for you. Made with honey and wholemeal spelt flour your probably expecting them to be quite tasteless and certainly not as flavoursome as a regular sugar filled muffin, but you would be surprised at how moist (ergh!) and scrumptious they are. The perfect 3pm treat with your favourite cup of tea.

The Neom Stress Relief Treatment

I am the definition of the word stress. I used the thrive on it before I got ill but now just the slightest bit of stress makes me feel very unwell. Stress is so common now that it's sometimes even a way of life for some, this is very damaging as it can have such a negative effect on your mood, health and even relationships with those around you.
