November Glossybox.


So this months glossybox was so hard to get hold of, I missed the first time it was delivered and then the card didn't turn up to my flat until 2 days after it had been delivered - don't have a clue what happened there! I then had to get it redelivered to a post office near me and long story short I've finally got my hands on it 6 days after it got delivered.

I'm disappointed with this month's glossybox again, none of the products stood out to me and I wasn't excited about any of them. I hate getting perfume samples I just think there pointless and none of them ever smell very nice and I certainly wouldn't pay £86 and £78 for either of them. So anyways moving on to whats in this month's glossybox:...

- Arbonne FC5 Cooling Foot Creme, £19
- Dead Sea Spa Magik, Dead Sea Bath Salts, £5.50
- Monu Skin Perfector, £16.25
- Nail Rock Designer Nail Wraps, £6.65
Serge Lutens Perfume, £86 and £78

I was disappointed to see the nail wraps again as I only just got some from a different brand in my first box which was the August one and they had some dead sea spa magik products in previous boxes. It seems like glossybox are beginning to run out of ideas and keep going back to companies they have already used, which in my opinion is not what you sign up for. I find with every box there is only one or two products I like, I'm going to try all the products as always and see what I receive in the December box and if it doesn't get better I will probably shop around and see what other boxes I like.

I still like the concept of glossybox and I think it has potential but they are going to have to get more exciting products that appeal to a younger market to keep people on board. For £12.95 a month you can't really complain to much but there other options and I'm sure people will start moving on to them.

Foot Therapy.


So me and my friend were having a pamper night and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to treat my feet. Now I loveeee soap and glory products and if I had an endless budget I would buy everything product they have ever made! The smell of their products is what draws me in the most, they smell amazing and really make you feel nice and clean and fresh. So I got my little pedicure socks on which I can't remember were they from because my sister got me them two christmas's ago, sorry guys! After every use I put them in the washing machine and they are as good as new!

I scrubed my feet in the shower first with my pumice stone and then put a generous amount of soap and glory's 'heel genius, foot cream' on and then put my little pedicure socks on : ) They are currently on still and I normally do it just before bed and leave them on all night to let the product soak in so it can work over night. Girls are notorious for wearing bad shoes that cut their feet to pieces and this is a nice way of rejuvenating your feet and giving them a little treat. The heel genius cream is £5.11 from boots to be precise and you will be able to get some similiar socks from any store like boots or superdrug or any normal pair of cotton socks will do the job.

So treat your feet, they deserve it! Much Love <3

Christmas Wishlist.



So this weeks wishlist is mostly clothes/accessories orientated with one beauty item from elf. With christmas upon the horizon I have laid off buying new items for myself and instead given them to my mum for present ideas, which I find very enjoyable! With christmas coming up also it means splurging on items is just not possible as its the time of the year to buy presents for others : )
So from left to right...

  • ASOS Lace Short With Scallop Edge (Blue or Black) - Now these shorts are amazing they could either be worn on a night out or during the day with tights for a casual look. - ASOS, £30 
  •  ASOS LEIGH Patent T-Bar Ballet Shoes - I have been wanting some flat dolly shoes like this for a while and I think they would look lovely with a casual outfit with tights, I need these! - ASOS, £25
  • Margrett Scallop Edge Tee - One of the more affordable items on the list a simple scalloped t-shirt which could pretty much be worn with anything (within reason) - MissGuided, £8.99
  • ASOS Rock Crystal Long Pendant - Amazing piece of statement jewellery that would brighten up any outfit, I love this and I think it would stand out really well - ASOS, £15
  • ASOS Faux Shearling And Croc Tuck Lock Day Bag - I love, love, love this bag! I have been eyeing it up for so long now that I thought it was very appropriate for my christmas wish list. This is the most expensive item on the list but so worth it. - ASOS, £35
  • E.l.f. Professional 9 Pc. Master Set - So I need a new brush roll/set and one that is good quality and not an average set. For quite a well known brand I think this is quite cheap and affordable for those who cannot splurge like me, I really like the packaging also. - E.L.F, £15
So that is my christmas wishlist I hope I have given you some ideas for presents or gifts for yourselves, I know most of them are from ASOS but there my fave! : )
Whats on your christmas wishlist?

Video Of The Week.


So Pixie Lott's new album came out last week and the more and more I listen to it the more and more I LOVE it. There is a mixture of slow songs and lots of fast songs that make you want to get up and dance to, I have her previous album and I would say I like her new album just as much as the last one they are pretty much on par with each other. So turn your speakers up and get up and dance girls to 'What do you take me for' by the beautiful Pixie Lott to celebrate the release of her new album!

Style Crush - Kim Kardashian.


Following on from my previous style crush posts I bring you the wonderful Kim Kardashian, I have watched all the series of Keeping up with the Kardashians and I must say I have style envy for all the Kardashians! The one that stands out to me the most in the style stakes is Kim but Kourtney is quickly catching up to her. Kim's glamorous and sometimes effortless style has evolved dramatically over the years and she has really come in to her own in the past two years with the increase in popularity of their shows.

Whether shes rocking red carpet glamour or a quick trip to the shops her style is always on point and her clothes choice changes everytime, I also have major hair envy also! You can tell alot of effort goes in to the making up of her outfits and she always looks amazing. So go on girls go get a bit of Kardashian glamour and check out there new clothing range 'Kardashian Kollection' and sears has just started shipping to the UK, YES!

London.


So I'm jetting off to London for the weekend tomorrow for my friends 21st Birthday, safe to say I'm very excited! I love London but I haven't been for over 2 years now and I've never done the traditional London trip of sightseeing and shopping because I have never stayed for long enough. So hopefully this weekend I will manage it, we may be heading to the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland which will be good as I love Hyde Park! So there will be no blogging this weekend but look out for some posts when I get back as I will no doubt have done alot of shopping and purchased some amazing goodies from the capital! What's your favourite thing about London?

Nail Of The Month.

Opi's 'Rainbow Connection' has to be my favourite nail varnish this month without a doubt, I must have used this polish in some way everytime I have painted my nails this month. I don't even have to say anything about it just looking at it explains why I wanted it so badly, at a price of £10 from amazon.co.uk it is pretty pricey but so worth it. I'm wearing it on my ring finger on each hand at the moment with barry m's 'Pink Flamingo' on all my other fingers - It looks amazing! It takes a few layers to get the full effect but so worth it when you see the outcome, it is from the most recent opi collection from the muppets and there are a variety of different colours. It stands out from the crowd and is an amazing glitter option if you have been looking for one recently. So go on girls get rainbow connected ;)

Touch of Foundation.

I'm not a massive foundation fan I very rarely wear it, my friend knew this and recommended Olays 'touch of foundation - even complexion' with a hint of maxfactor foundation. Its more of a moisturiser then foundation and with the added bonus of spf 15 :) I borrowed my friends a few times before I bought my own and at a price of £7.20 you can't go wrong.


Its very light and applies with ease allowing an even coverage with a soft feel. Its a good option if you are a foundation fan but want something light for during the day, I use the colour fair as I have very pale skin. So girls if your looking for an alternative to foundation or for something during the day this is a good investment!

October Favourites.

So I know I've been masively slacking with the posts lately but my life has been taken over by my dissertation and I'm finding it hard to focus on anything else! So anyway thats the boring part over with on to the exciting part, I had alot of favourite products this month and I know I'm a bit late with it practically being middle of Novemeber but never mind. I had 7 favourites this month all of which I have used religiously pretty much everyday, so here they are....


  •  Clinique anti-blemish solution - now this product is amazing, you just put a little bit on a cotton bud and dab it on to your blemish and it reduces redness and helps for a quick removal of the problem!
  • Soap and Glory Hand Cream/Food - I love this hand cream as it doesn't leave your hands greasy and smells gorgeous, this small bottle is quite cheap at around £3 I think.
  • Loreal Mythic Oil - Now I received this product in my September Glossy Box and I loved it from the get go it is widely raved about and it leaves your hair feeling amazing it gives you a definite good hair day!
  • Tresemme Heat Protector - Heat protector is an essential for any girl who regularly uses straighteners, tongs, hairdryer etc. Tresemme heat protector works as a good barrier against heat and my hair has definitely benefited from using this product and has reduced snapping.
  • Blistex Lip Massager - I think this is my 3rd tube of this in the past 2 months, for some unknown reason I always have really dry lips which is not a good luck when wearing lipstick or lipgloss. I have tried a few blistex products and this is definitely my favourite as it massages away all the dry parts (nice thought I know, sorry!)
  • Rimmel Lash Accelerator - This has to be my favourite mascara I have used in a long time and has definitely rejuvenated my eyelashes after I chopped them off - oops! It adds length and volume and two coats seems to do the job.
  • Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealor - Last but certainly not least I love this concealer, my benefit boing recently ran out and being a poor student splurging on an expensive concealor seemed rediculous. I have read many blogs and watched many videos on this concealor and everyone loved it and I can certainly say I now also love it!
I hope you enjoyed my first monthly favourites post and sorry for the massive essay I just wrote! I hope it inspires you to try out some of the products for yourself :)

Much Love <3
