Christmas Wish List (Gift Guide) 2017

Hi everyone, firstly apologies for the lack of post the last couple of weeks, life got busy again and I did not feel at all well either.  Although during that time I did spend a considerable amount of time looking through online shops and contemplating what I would love to receive for Christmas this year.  Any (if not all) of these following items would all be extremely welcome under my tree but I also thought they would make great gift ideas for your friends and family (or a treat for yourself) too!

1. The first thing on my list is the one item I always ask for every year, a calendar.  But not just any calendar, it has to be the 'Me to You', Tatty Teddy calendar.  I just love these, the illustrations are always so cute and I've been collecting these for many years.

2. I've had my eye on this particular palette for quite a long while now but just haven't got around to finally buying it.  But every time I see it, I want it!  The shades are so rich and beautiful and I really love that these eyeshadows are scent free as well, for someone who's nose runs at the first whiff of a fragrance, scent free products are a god send.  I'm planning to do a video on all my best scent free makeup soon too, so this would fit in perfectly (any excuse to have it) :-)

3. Ok so this one is a little more specific to us Walking Dead/Daryl Dixon fans but I am in LOVE ♥ with this hoodie!!  It is a little on the pricier side, around £30 but I think for a nice warm fleece (and the opportunity to strut around with 'Daryl-style' wings on my back) it's well worth it :-D  I love that it looks so cosy and I'm keeping everything crossed that I'm opening this parcel on Christmas day.
*As a side note, these are mostly only available from China and are sold in European sizes, but they do sell quite a good range of sizes that are suitable for men and women.  I have linked this particular store on ebay, as they were one of the only ones I found that do a small size.

4. There are some really pretty and very different styles of earrings around at the moment and I'm kind of getting bored with all my old small pairs and I really fancy a change.  I really like these black tassel ones from Primark, they're only £2.  Silver triple star studs are gorgeous, these ones are £12 from Not On The Highstreet who also sell a large range of the open circle studs in a range of prices.

5. Going back to the Daryl wings theme, I found this amazing phone case on ebay and I want it so bad!!

6. And 7. Well, you can't have a Christmas list without some classic chocolate can you!

8. Ok back to the main gifts, this little beauty is the HP Sprocket.  Now, if you haven't already heard the whole of the internet talking about this little gadget, it is an amazing mini printer that syncs up to your phone via bluetooth, usb or wifi and you can personalize then print out all the photos that are confined to your phone, so you can put them in frames or in a photo album to keep and look through.  I just think it's the most amazing idea.  The best part is, although the special paper is a little on the pricey side; around £10 for just 20 sheets, the fact that you don't need ink to print really good quality photos is pretty innovative.  A little heads up, PC World are currently doing a fantast offer for £119, where you not only get the Sprocket but you also get an extra pack of papers, a carry case and a mini photo album.  Best Christmas present ever :-)

9. I don't know what it is about these cinema light boxes, that makes them so cool but I just love them and I've been wanting one for so long now.  I personally prefer the A5 size, plus I don't have room anywhere for the A4, but I just think the smaller, the cuter!

10. Who doesn't need a little extra of this here and there?!  I'm currently trying to save like a crazy person for my trip to London in March, so every penny is happily and gratefully received.

11. These next two items are both from Zoella's latest homewhere range, and omg the colour theme of this range is just too cute. I love all the bits and plan to gradually get my hands on most of it, but firstly this long cushion I just know would fit perfectly in with my bedroom decor . . .

12. And as for this planner!!  I use a planner pad every day to organize my projects, which I bought from Home Bargains back in the summer and it's nice enough.  But let's face it, if you're going to do something, do it in style right?!  Incidentally, Superdrug have currently got most of their Zoella range on sale right now, so hurry if you want to grab a bargain!

I have also been a busy bee filming more videos over the last couple of weeks and I even managed to vlog my fun day at Wales Comic Con, which I honestly think is actually one of my favourite videos so far!  So you can click here to head on over to my channel and please don't forget to like the videos if you enjoy them and why not subscribe too, that way you'll never miss a new video from me :-)

I hope you all have a really lovely Christmas and until next time, Stay Happy & Festive ♥

The Unicorn Lover's Gift Guide

Hi everyone, there's been so many great gift guides going around lately but I wanted to do something a little more specific, and what better theme to use than Unicorns!! :-)

Most of these items are found on ebay or amazon, with a few exceptions but best of all they are all under £10.  I myself love anything with unicorns on and I know several of my friends do too, but I think pretty much everyone loves the unicorn theme right now.  I found SO many amazing and lovely items online, from loads of different places and in different price ranges, but I thought these few were some of the nicest, most affordable and most easily available so you may even still have chance to get something for a special someone before Xmas comes around!

All the links to all the items are listed below, and everything is currently in stock as I upload this post, I've just double checked for you :-)

1 Always Believe shopping bag.  2 Unicorn/rainbow purse.  3 earrings.  4  Be More Unicorn purse.  5 slippers.  6 It's So Fluffy keyring.  7 I'm Really a Unicorn makeup bag (also available in black).  8 Unicorn Club jar.  9 Keep Calm keyring.  10 Always be a Unicorn plaque.  11 Unicorn emoji clutch/makeup bag.  12 cookie cutter.  13 shaped unicorn keyring.  14 trinket dish.

*********

As always, I hope you liked this post and you found your friends or yourself a few nice little treats.  Let me know in the comments which item was your favourite, I already have the beautiful plaque so it has to be the little shaped unicorn keyring, although I do love the New Look purse oh and the slippers and the makeup bag, well all of it really lol :-)

Summer Wish List 2015

Hi everyone, for today's post I wanted to do a little Summer themed wish list (since the last one I did was at Christmas!)  When I first started I wasn't even too sure what I wanted to list, I had a couple of things in mind but I was even starting to rethink doing the post and thought, is there even that many things I'm wanting right now!?  But as soon as starting looking through a few online shops and my saved wishlists on Amazon etc, I realised, oh my gosh there's a heck of a lot! :-)  So here's a roundup of all the things (beauty, fashion and more) that I'm lusting after at the moment. . .

1. First off, I have to admit I have acquired a slight phone case obsession of late, I just love changing them regularly and having a totally different look from one week to the next.  The one I'm currently using at the moment is a mint green wallet-style case with a gold bow clasp and I love it, but I honestly have a list as long as my arm of various different new case I like, mostly from Amazon but some from ebay too, they're really affordable and there's so much choice, bargain :-)  Infinity, Pink Stripe, Blue Rose.

2. The L'Oreal Paris Color Riche La Palette in Rose, I've heard so many great things about this palette, I've seen it used several times in various YouTube tutorials and the colours look gorgeous.  Definitely something I'd like to add to my collection.

3. I spotted this really pretty necklace on the New Look website, they have some really lovely jewellery at the moment and I think this would look so nice with summery dresses or T-shirts.

4. Ahh the Jeffrey Campbell original leather Lita's (eye's glaze over), I think these are just so lovely and would go so well with so many outfits, I keep saying to myself 'one day I will get them, one day!'  I've heard they're really comfortable and easy to walk in too, so a definite wish list item for me!

5. The new Benefit Roller Lash Mascara, again I've heard so many great things about this and I would just so love to try it out for myself.  Sadly I missed the boat on the free sample that came with Elle magazine a couple of months ago, so if I can save up enough penny's, I would really like to try this.

6. I was scrolling through the Primark website the other day and spotted this really cute floral T-shirt, it was only £4 so I'm looking forward to finding this in my local store.  I think it'll look great with jeans, shorts or maxi skirts and the pattern is just so pretty.

7. Another Primark find, is this pretty summer dress for £8, I just love the layers and the denim blue colour.  Paired with a nice white cardigan for a little warmth (I know but I feel the cold, don't judge me!) and some sandals or flats, I think it'll look quite cute.

8. I've seen a real trend forming lately with pastel pink blazer and I have to admit, I do quite like it.  It's not my usual style as these type of blazers/suit jackets sometimes have the tendency to look a little too big on me, but I do like the look so it's just a matter of finding a style and size that suits my small frame.  I do think it's a great summery look though.  This one is a really pretty shade too and available from Asos and is currently on sale!

9. I really need some new shorts, it's been so long since I was last brave enough to wear them, I can't even find the ones I used to have!  I noticed lots of nice pairs last time I was in Primark for only £3, so I think I'll have to have a proper look in there soon and try a few on.  Although I'm very picky when it comes to buying shorts, I like them not too long but not too short, I like the ragged bottoms but not the turned up hems, so basically I can rarely find a pair I like enough to buy, way too picky lol

10. I love rings, I just think they're so cute and add a bit of sparkly to any outfit.  The top set here is from New Look and the bottom set is from Primark, I just adore the ring sets from there they're such good value and good quality too and they have such a massive choice of styles!

11. And finally, the gorgeous Jeffrey Campbell Spiked Lita's, Oh Wow!  I have been desperately wanting a pair of these ever since I saw Grave Yard Girl do a shoe unboxing with them back in May 2012, and I still want them SO much!  I've actually been looking in to it a little more recently and trying to figure out the best size for me to get and where I can get them from, so I may just think about treating myself sometime in the not too distant future. . . watch this space as you will be the first to know, because I will be longing to show them off! ;-)

I hope you enjoyed this post, please leave me a comment below and let me know what items you would love to get your hands on this summer?

Until Next Time Stay Happy ♥

Makeup and Fashion Summer Wish List

Hi everyone, hope you're all having a great week!  For todays post I have a little list for you of a few things that I am very much wanting to own at the moment.  There's always little bits here and there that I'm either saving up for or wanting to find but these few things have been at the top of my list for a while now.  So to the list –

1.  Garnier Micellar Water, I've heard so many good things about this stuff and I can't wait to try it out for myself.  I found this one on the Boots website for only £4.99 and as it's a brand I really love, I'm really looking forward to getting it.

2. The Bourjois Effet 3D Lipgloss, again the reviews for this product make it a so very tempting, the swatches I've seen are equally appealing and since my new 'makeup crush' items are lip glosses, I really want to get my hands on one of these!

3. Statement necklaces, I'm not usually a fan of giant necklaces but some of the ones I've seen around lately are so beautiful, I think they look amazing with a plain T'shirt or with a shirt like the one pictured.  I also love this one from Debenhams.

4. I love the look of a pretty floral dress for the summer, I do have a lovely cream dress with red flowers which I love but, well one is never enough really is it :-)  This one is from New Look, I think it's in the sale that's currently on but I've seen lots of other lovely ones too!

5. I am so in love with this style of patent low heel shoes, aren't they just absolutely gorgeous!!  I just love the nude/stone colour too, they go so well with any outfit. These ones are also from New Look.

6. Tanya Burr Lip Glosses, oh how I desperately want to get my hands on these!  I'm a big fan of her YouTube channel and I've heard so many people rave about these.  My favorite shades so far are Chic, Aurora and Smile, Dream, Sparkle.  These shades look so beautiful swatched from what I've seen online and I'm sure I will like some of the other shades too.  Unfortunately my local Superdrug doesn't stock them but I am determined to find them. . . very soon oh yes!

7. Makeup Revolution Redemption palette 3. . . Now I'm a huge fan of the Urban Decay Naked palette but the price mark isn't always the friendliest to my wallet, but this lovely new brand has come out with supposedly an exact dupe for the UD Naked 3 (if you haven't heard already!) And at only £4.00 my wallet is feeling a little happier!

8. Lace or crochet waistcoats, they just shout hippy chic and I just love the way they look.  I wish I knew where this actual one was from (this is a Google image) but I've found quite a few similar ones here and there.

9. I am really into maxi skirts this summer and I've been after a lovely patterned black one just like this.  Sadly even though I've spent far too long searching the net for it, I just can't seem to find this actual one anywhere :-(  But I did find a very nice very similar one at New Look for £17.99

10. Flower Garlands, again so hippy chic and just so cute, I LOVE pink roses and these garland/hair bands add such an adorable look to any summer outfit.  Again New Look comes up trumps with a very pretty one for only £3.99.

What items or products are you desperately wanting at the moment, let's have a good chat about it in the comments :-)

Also just a quick note to add – I have some very exciting posts lined up over the coming weeks for you all, including more reviews, my favourite 'My Lips But Better' selection of lippys, another 'Little Visit To' with some gorgeous photos, a lovely large June/July haul and some exciting news. . .
