Blogmas Day 2: Birthday Haul Part 2

It is only 2nd December and I am already feeling so christmassy so before I head out and get quite a bit of Christmas shopping done I thought I would share with you the rest of my birthday presents so without rambling too much lets get into it,

Fragrance wise I did very well this year getting 2 lovely smelly bits. Firstly from one of my friends I got the Victoria Secrets Secret Escape Fragrance Mist in Sheer Freesia and Guava Flowers. The bottle of this is absoloutely gorgeous and I was so excited to get this because I have never had a Victoria Secret's fragrance before. The smell of this is lovely and floral without being overpoweringly flowery but is also nice and fresh. I have been tending to wear this on a daily basis and makes a nice change from some of the more woody deep fragrances I have.

Next up is a very exciting present and one that I had been wanting ever since it was released back in September, Jo Malone Cologne in Wood Sage and Sea Salt. Now if you haven't smelt this before please just stop what you are doing and go smell it now. It is honestly one of the nicest smelling things I have ever smelt. It is quite a masculine scent which I don't normally like but this is just fab. I think the candle version of this would be amazing as well so I think that may be going on my Christmas list!

Staying on nice smelling things my Brother got me a lovely Lush gift set featuring 2 of their bath bombs. Poptastic! features Cinders Bath Bomb and Shoot for the Stars Bath Bomb. Neither of these I have ever tried before but are both once's I have had a good smell of in store! I love baths and especially at this time of year so I can't wait to try these out very very soon!

Last up was another very exciting present from my housemates and perfect for this time of year, the Nuxe Reve De Miel Lip Balm. This is a pretty cult beauty product and I have read so many reviews about it and thought it sounded amazing. And I have to admit the hype is so right, this is awesome! I make sure I use this every morning and every night as well as topping it up throughout the day and already I can notice a difference in how my lips look. My lips normally get very chapped and disgusting around this time of year but since I have been using this they have been so lovely and soft. Some people might think this is quite a price tag for a lip balm but is 1000% worth it and I also think this would make a perfect stocking filler for any beauty loving girl. 

WOW! So that is all for my birthday haul, I did get some other bits but I thought I would only share my beauty related present. My main present from my Mum and Dad was a spa weekend break later on in December so after that I will be reviewing the whole experience so keep an eye out for that! Hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading,

Pretty Things I Want

I feel like there is far too many new beauty bits and bobs out at the moment that I really want to get my hands on. I am being very good with my money at the moment so none of these new launches I have bought but come September I am going to go on one hell of a spending spree!!

Body Shop Body Sorbet in Pink Grapefruit

1. I love body shop. 2. I love the pink grapefruit scent and 3. I love sorbet! Basically this is a dream product in my books. I think every single blogger has tried this except me and it is making me very sad. I have been lusting after one of these since I saw them start popping up on blogs earlier in the year. I imagine these will be amazing in every scent I think they also do Moringa, Strawberry and Satsuma (they are just the ones I remember).  These are perfect for summertime so it would be rude to not get my hands on one of these before summer is over, right?

Body Shop Vitamin E Aqua Boost Sorbet

Staying on the sorbet front I also saw this little pot of joy in the Body Shop. From what I know this seems to be a daily moisturiser which is similar to the body sorbet. This is a new item in the already existing Vitamin E range which I am already a massive fan off so I have very high hopes for this when I finally get my hands on it. 

Jo Malone Silk Blossom Cologne

I'm not sure how new this is but it is limited edition so I am guessing it is a fairly recent addition to the line. I considered buying this at duty free back in June but for some stupid unknown reason I decided against it and I really regret it. This is probably my favourite of all the Jo Malone scents and I will be very upset if I don't get this both it is discontinued!!

Charlotte Tilbury Beach Sticks

I'm sorry but are these not the most beautiful make up item you have ever seen? The packaging is to die for and the product itself looks so amazing! I have never tried anything from Charlotte Tilbury but I literally want to buy one of these so badly! The one that I think looks the loveliest is Ibiza. The colour is so lovely and bronzey, it is gorgeous!! I am basically speechless about them they are gorgeous! Have I said gorgeous and beautiful enough?

Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain

I hadn't really heard much about this until a few weeks ago and now it seems like every single person owns one of these and I really want to join the club! I haven't even seen these in the flesh yet, just seen them on various blogs and YouTube, but from what I have seen these look awesome! They look super pigmented, glossy and moisturising, what more could you ask for?

So those are some of the new products on the market that I am lusting after. I reckon within the next couple of weeks I will probably pick up the body shop goodies and Revlon lipgloss. The more high end stuff however will probably just stay on my list of things I want.  Please give me a little follow on Bloglovin, every new follower makes me really happy! Hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading,

May Lust List

It is that time of the month again when I share all the products I have been lusting over recently!! My holiday is only 10 days away so lots of my money is going towards that this month so I'm not sure how many of these products I will get round to purchasing, but I am hoping all!!


1. Stila In The Light Palette, £25
I have seen this palette been talked about for ages and it has never really attracted me but I recently noticed that they have started selling Stila in Boots and when I saw the palette in person I died and went to make up heaven! The palette is really nice  and neutral toned which is ideal for everyday use for me. I have been saving up my Boots points for a while so I may have to splurge on this soon!!




2. Jo Malone Silk Blossom Cologne, Limited Edition, £42
I have been obsessed with Jo Malone since I bought my mum one of their perfumes in March but I have never found a smell that I have really really loved. When I went in the other week though I smelt this and thought it was just amazing, it is the perfect amount of sweetness mixed with musk and I love it. I will be keeping my out for this one at duty free!



3. Eco Tools Skin Perfecting Brush, £7.99
So last but not least is this brush from Eco Tools. I don't actually own any of their brushes but have often checked them out and been fairly impressed by the look of them. I saw this at the end of last month and thought it just looked perfect! The shape is amazing and I think this will be perfect for giving flawless looking make up!!

Ok so that is all for my lust list!! I will be posting a tag tomorrow that I was tagged in the other day which will be fun, so make sure to check that out! I'm off now to enjoy the sun, let me know below what you guys have been lusting over this month to give me some inspiration! Hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading,
