Kissy Missy | Benefit

Benefit has been a staple brand in my make up collection since I was at school and that was a good 12 or so years ago now! Crap, I feel old. I think Benefits Boi-ing Concealer was my first "premium" item as well because back then 12 year olds didn't own an entire Mac shop and spots were a teenage girls best worst friend! Every Christmas Benefit bring out cute little gift sets and this year was no exception.

My New Love For Emma Hardie

I've heard a lot of bloggers talk about Emma Hardie over the last few years and how amazing her skincare is. I have always wanted to try it but at the premium price end of beauty products its not something I can afford normally. However, Feel Unique launched a new Pick and Mix service last year where you can choose 5 samples for £3.95, in fact i wrote a post about it so if you want to know a bit more about that you can read about it here. One of the samples I picked up was a 5g Moringa Cleansing Balm, I've actually had 3 of them now as I sort of fell in love with it.

Luxe Personalised Candle | Flamingo Candles

Happy New Year!

So by now we know how much I like a candle, Flamingo Candles in particular. I certainly don't need anymore that's for sure but I still bought another one didn't i. What am I like. I even had to cancel my Melt Crowd subscription because I have SO many, I just can't burn them quick enough. I love pink and gold, I don't know where its comes from but in the last year I have developed a bit of an obsession with those colours together, i mean its even my blog theme. I couldn't pass this little beauty up though could I?

Four Easy Festive Treats | Recipes

It wouldn't be a holiday or change of season on my blog without a baking recipe from me! I recently wrote a post with my DIY Halloween Treats and wanted to do something similar for Christmas. I choose four that are easy and inexpensive to make and hopefully there's at least one you might like to have a go at.

Movie Night With A Twist

I saw this idea a few weeks ago on Pinterest and thought how fun it would be to do a lucky dip Christmas movie night. One thing my boyfriend and I can't agree on is what film to watch, most of the time we end up scrolling through Netflix or Prime over and over again before we just give up. This way we have to watch the film in the envelope, so if your indecisive like us then you should probably give this a go too!

Baby Lips | Holiday Edition

I'm a bit slow to writing this post as I've had these for a couple of months now, oops. But I wanted to share how amazing these brilliant and affordable new Holiday Baby Lips are. There is three in the range but I only managed to pick up the two, the best two in my opinion! I am a huge fan of Maybelline's Baby Lips, I'm pretty sure I own most of the different flavours actually. They are by far the most moisturising and nourishing lip balm I've tried.

Teapigs Turns 10

Happy Birthday Teapigs! 

Can you believe it, they are celebrating turning 10 this year. I love Teapigs as a brand, not only is everything ethnically sourced but their teas taste EXACTLY how they smell. That my friend, is rare in the world of fruit teas. I wrote a post for them last year and I have been hooked on the Peppermint Leaves flavour since, no other brand seems to compare. As a special treat they have released a party favourite of both children and adults alike - Jelly & Ice Cream tea! I can't tell you how excited I was when I saw it, not to mention the packaging is pink AND has a party hat on it.

Self Care With Optrex

Self care is one of the most important things you can do for your body and mind. We're busy bees most of the time and it can be hard to remember that you need to take proper care of yourself in order to do everything you want to do, everyday. The best way to do this is to implement small but necessary new habits into your daily routine. Self care doesn't have to be expensive either, its all about paying attention to your mind, body and soul.

Maple Sandwich Biscuits | Recipe

I recently brought myself some Autumnal cookie cutters because I really wanted to make some leaf shaped biscuits! When searching through Pinterest for some inspiration I came across some cute maple flavoured biscuits and immediately knew this was what I was making with my new cutters. They were super easy to make and you don't need many ingredients or even really any baking skills, they are that simple. I used my trusty years old biscuit recipe so you can be sure these taste yummy.

Jealous Sweets | Review

When luxury sweet brand Jealous Sweets got in contact with me recently to ask if I fancied reviewing their delicious products I thought, obviously! They're not just any sweets though - no no no, these are what I call grown up sweets. Nothing like cheap Haribo (although I don't mind them on occasion too!), these are pretty much an alternative to buying a posh box of chocolates rather than your run of the mill supermarket purchase.

DIY Halloween Treats

Boo! Just kidding, it's just me back with a spooky DIY treat post. I've been looking forward to doing this since the summer and intend to do one for Christmas too, so keep an eye out for that in early December. I've put together (and eaten, sorry hips) 8 Halloween treat recipes that are super easy and don't cost too much for you to have a go at. They are especially fun if your having a Halloween party this year and need a little inspiration. Suprisingly none of these were epic fails either.

Flamingo Candles | New In

Flamingo Candles are one of my favourite brands for all things scent related. Everything about their candles is aesthetically pleasing, not to mention smells incredible. You may have seen a few posts I've written before about them as I am subscribed to their monthly candle melt box too. I just can't get enough of them. I was SO very lucky to have been sent these beautiful new Autumn/Winter scents, they definitely know how to treat us bloggers!

Treat Yourself | Blossoming Gifts

There aren't many things nicer in life than receiving a bouquet of flowers. Well, unless your allergic to them I suppose! I was approached by online flower retailer, Blossoming Gifts a month ago to see if I would like to try their service and give my thoughts on flowers sent via your letterbox. Obviously I said YES! because who wouldn't want a beautiful bunch of flowers sent to you? Especially ones that are as pretty as these.

Yankee Candle | Harvest Time

It's finally Autumn! Everyone says Autumn time is their favourite but it's true, it really is one of the most beautiful seasons. The brown leaves are falling from the trees and are crisp under foot, there's a chill in the air (which after this humid summer we probably all could do with!) and as the dark nights draw in, its time to get cosy with candles and of course, countless mugs of hot chocolate. 

Plus, it just wouldn't be a new season without your favourite Yankee Candles would it?

Pick & Mix | Feel Unique

A couple of months ago beauty retailer Feel Unique released an interesting new service where you can try products before you buy, well sort of. They've come up with this brilliant idea of offering their customers a pick and mix range of beauty samples you can purchase for just £3.95. Better yet, the £3.95 fee for shipping is redeemable against a future order with a voucher code they send in your confirmation email, making it essentially free.

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.
