Holiday Style Inspiration

I love doing these posts now, I never realised I could connect my blog to my polyvore, oops. I love these holiday style staples! I own the cape and it's literally my favourite thing its so warm. The boots are very similar to ones I want but I couldn't find them. The givenchy bag, daniel wellington watch and MAC lipstick have been on my christmas wish list for a few years now but they're way out of my families budget and more than what I would want to ask them for. They're also abit out of the budget of 'a seasonal treat to myself' too!Haha!
Let me know how you're styling up your holiday, I think I will do another holidays one but more for parties as it's that time of year. I hope you're enjoying these posts as much as I am making them.

My Favourite Candles

I have been buying so many candles recently, it is the season after all! Because of this I thought I would share with you my favourites. 

Yankee Candle- This is the 'Christmas Eve' candle and it smells so nice, it's not floral at all like the scents I would usually go for its got quite that heavy christmas smell, if that makes sense. It's quite spicy but not overly it's just a hint. I am not the best at describing scents!!!

Primark Candle- I bought this for what I seem to remember was about £5, I just couldn't resist and it smelt sooo good. All of their candles did but I went for the purple to match my room, sad. This candle actually surprised me at how smelly it is like I wasn't expecting anything great but you can get good wiffs even when it's burning.

Zoella Candle- Oh, I'm mentioning Zoe again, oops. ;-) I love this candle it's so girly and floral, it burns so well. Mine actually burns with the biggest flame I have ever seen on a candle. 

Leaf, Bark and Berries Candle- This is the shop I work in where I live. There are three stores in the UK that I know of and it can't be accessed on the internet but if you ever pass any one of the shops, I highly reccommend this candle. We sell it in our christmas range and it is appropriately scented 'Roasted Chestnut' and this literally is the definition of christmas in a scent for me. It burns so well and has so much burning time to it. It smells delicious when burning as well as when it's blown out.
I also bought these two candle holders from here and I think they're lovely! The red candle is my yankee candle, I kind of melted it to it whoops.

I hope you enjoyed this post it's a bit different and more seasonal! Hopefully you can try some of the candles I recommended and let me know how you find them?

Short Catchup

I just wanted to quickly let you all know why I haven't been posting and it's because my schedule has blown up! I used to spend nearly everyday doing nothing and now I don't have a day off.

I now work four days a week and also go to college four days a week (I do both on mondays) and so I literally haven't got a day free. I wanted to let my schedule set in first and get used to it before I started planning things around it but I'm commited to making more effort to posting on my blog now because I really do love doing it.

I get a week off of work soon and so hopefully I should be able to use the weekend to get some draft posts sorted and then I can post them weekly. I'm super excited to be able to be blogging again cause I've missed it and it's just annoying that I wake up in the dark and by the time I'm home its dark again. Damn winter.

I hope you're all well and if you have any post ideas or feedback please let me know in the comments.

Beauty Haul

I purchased all these items at Superdrug.

Micellar Water- a lot of people have done reviews on this product so it's not something I feel I need to do. However I bought my own recently after reading all the positive reviews it has and I was blown away. My skin has NEVER been this clear, I can't even remember the last time I had a spot and all I do is use this product every night to take all my make-up off and then use the St. Ives invigorating apricot scrub once or twice a week. 

Soap&Glory Mist You Madly- I had this once many years ago when the brand wasn't as poplar as it is now and I loved it however never really remembered to repurchase it but as I've been buying christmas presents lately I've been scowering Superdrug for presents and I saw this and instantly added it to my basket. It's probably one of my favourite scents, it's very floral and feminine. If you get the chance you should definitley buy it, it's such a good thing just to carry round in your bag and use to freshen up.

Zoella Blissful Mistful- After my post about Zoe's make-up line I had to get something. I ended up buying the candle and the body mist. This smells amazing, I had high hopes for these products but when it arrived it just blew them out the water. I applaud Zoe and this is now in my top 3 fragrances. 

Rimmel London Mascara with Argan Oil- This product is brilliant. I am so glad I got it. Mine has slightly different packaging to the usual one because I bought it in the extra black shade and I'm glad I did. I use this everyday now it keeps all my lashes seperated and full. I've gone from using 5 mascaras a day (pain in the butt) to now using two. I have also noticed a slight difference in the health of my lashes since using this. They don't fall out as much and just feel a lot nicer when I'm not wearing any make-up.

Sleek i-Divine Au Naturel Palette- I have wanted a sleek eye-shadow palette for   so    long. These colour are gorgeous, I love all the earthy and brown colours cause I feel like they suit my eyes, I have blue eyes. I know everyone wouldn't agree with that colour choice but that's how I think they look best. I haven't actually used this palette yet because look at it. I will get round to using it obviously. Would you like to see a more extensive review on this product?I could swatch the colours too! Let me know in the comments or however you wish to contact me.
