As you may or may not know, I am obsessed with candles and whenever they get near the bottom I use the leftover wax in my tealight burner and burn off the rest! (No waste!), I recently followed Flamingo Candles over on Twitter and couldn't help but notice how pretty there candles looked! I had to try them for myself, of course I didn't know whether to pay full price for a big jar or try out the scented melts! So I ended up trying the scented melts which are £2 each....

The first one I was super excited to try out was the Rose & Marshmallow, it sounded sooooooo perfect! When it arrived I was slightly shocked, the scent wasn't super strong but did smell sweet! I began by unwrapping the scent and lighting a tea-light and placing in my bunsen burner, then placing the scent on top. It was like a solid white substance, it smelt so good and more stronger once it was out the packaging. 


After a few minutes of burning the substance instantly become a clear liquid smelling away so strong! It filled my room full of a sweet candy sugar scent it was perfect for my sweet tooth! 

Then the Strawberries 'n' Champagne was SO SO SOOOOO strong oh my! The scent was perfect, so fruity and sweet and just all round perfect, I cannot explain how in love I was with this! I decided to break this one in half and only burn half, the scent was SUPER strong it literally filled my entire room and you could smell it from all the way down the hall way! Using only half allowed me to get more out of the scent!

Overall I must say, the Strawberries one is by far my favorite, I will 100% rebuy these again I couldn't help but notice Flamingo Candles offer a subscription for the melts which I am considering on starting!

Hey guys! So today I thought i'd do something a little different, and discuss what I like to watch on Netflix + why! 

1. Vampire Diaries
This is my number one TV series, I just love the story line and all the actors are pure amazing! What I love about this story line is the fact she goes from human to vampire, but it shows your AFTER being vampire and back to human?! Plus the super cute love story I just love! Personally I would 100% go for Damon (Ian Somerhalder), I'm just so gutted to find out Elena (Nina Dobrev) is leaving :'(

2. The Originals
The Originals TV Series is based off the Vampire Diaries, acting as a program before them..... I LOVE THIS! Oh my, the story line is so fierce and always got action packed as well as a love story twist? It's just amazing, I've finished all of these and so excited to see more! 

3. Heroes
I am a huge Heroes fan, I remember watching this over and over. I love the story line, I love how there is so many different powers I wouldn't of even image could be mentioned! Plus I simply love Claire (Hayden Panettiere) I would just love to be able to heal again!  


4. Orange Is The New Black
This TV series is very mature! It is very much like a "real life" story line, I love to just see where the story takes you, seeing all the action and drama! Although it can be very intimate at times, the story line pulls it together and its just pure amazing! I can honestly say this is probably one of them shows you'd just have to watch to understand!

5. Prison Break
Now... Prison Break was a huge rating last year, I remember going to lessons and always hearing about it. I began to watch the series last year and was rather shocked that they escaped out of Prison by the end of the first series. After seeing that I did loose interest, I should start watching again as I would like to get back into it! I LOOOVED it when the blueprints where tattoo'ed to him, I genuinely thought that was a genius idea! 

6. Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones is a huge huge favorite of majority of people at the moment, for me it is a least favorite. I'm not sure why but I just seem to loose interest, I find there is too many story lines to follow at once, this might just be me though. I do find it very action packed, very good actors and the story lines are very good! I am up to date with watching these but wouldn't rave how well they are like others do.

What do you guys enjoy watching? Leave a comment below letting me know! :-) X

Hey guys! So today I thought i'd write about an amazing deal I got! A months ago I kept "tweeting" about this amazing deal BrandAlley had with major sale discounts! I ordered this beautiful Light Purple Macrame Charm Bracelet on 28/04/2015 for an amazing £10 including delivery! I purchased this in hope it would arrive for my mums birthday (May 15th) as part of her present (I also got her lots more don't worry!).

Anyway, much to my disappointment I had an email shortly after purchasing explaining there would be a two week delay, after that time was up.. I got another saying they are struggling for stock and will keep me informed, personally it was not looking good and I was worried! In that, I took to Twitter ranting to BrandAlley about how it had been an entire month without my product arriving and no delivery date has yet to been given. Within a day I had various messages sent privately with BrandAlley over DM's about my order number, delivery dates etc to be informed they would dispatch it within two days for me! I was beyond happy, moaning does get somewhere ;)! It arrived beautifully packaged in the original Pandora box, inside was the unique bracelet.



I was super happy, I couldn't believe it was only £10. The material is super lightweight, and the colour is perfect (A very light purple), it adjusts at the ends where the two silver tie ends pull apart and together to adjust it (Top open and slide on). Then you have the space in the center to add a Pandora Clip Charm! It's super pretty, super stylish and an amazing price! I'm super happy with this purchase, they offer it in various colours still so be sure to check them out while stock lasts!X  Click here to view the item on BrandAlley

Hey guys! So today I thought i'd talk to you about Benefit Cosmetics skincare range, as usual I have very oily skin (also sensitive) so I have tried beyond so many different products. Over the Christmas period I was given a Benefit skincare mini set, I've also picked up a few samples etc over the times of buying off the Benefit shop!


 1. Foaming Clean Facial Wash
This is step one to cleaning, I apply this after "damping" my face and rub all over my face including my neck. I have to warn you guys, this is a very soft and gentle facial wash I found if you still had makeup on it would not work as well, it probably wouldn't remove and properly "wash" your face.

After using this product, it leaves your skin feeling super soft and smooth. I personally never had any issues using this product with my skin, I never broke out majorly & would rate this 8/10. Click here to view the item
2. Refined Finish Facial Polish
This product is very much a scrub, applying to freshly washed skin which is still damp only a little amount is needed. I personally am not a fan of scrubs as I suffer with oily skin, I find if you use a scrub with oily skin it irritates the skin even more. Although I still wanted to get an honest review of this product, I set out and trailed this on my mums skin (who is normal) it left her skin feeling smooth, with no issues and breakouts! She told me "I would 100% buy this product again without a doubt", rating it a huge 9/10! Click here to view the item


3. Toning Lotion
Again, this products bottle is a major hate of mine. I have no understanding on how to get the product out other than tipping the bottle upside down and waiting for it to fall out. At first, this is easy to do because the product is so liquid and "runny" although, when your towards the end it could take a few minutes... Which personally is no good if your in a rush! 

Anyway, I apply this product usually using a small piece of cotton wool. And then dabbing it across my face, I find dabbing it prevents spreading it across the skin which could irritate and using a cotton wool piece is more softer on my sensitive skin. I personally had no breakouts, no issues with this product and it honestly did its job! I would consider buying this product again, it's just the bottle which puts me off. I would honestly rate this 8/10, Click here to view the item

 4. Triple Performing 
To begin with, I must admit I am not a huge fan nor lover of this product. At first I hated the design of the bottle, I had no idea how to get the product out. If I tipped the bottle upside down, it would literally take ages to get any out.... My fingers wouldn't fit inside the bottle, I ended up using the end of a small eye shadow brush (wooden end) and poking it inside to get some out... It was a very long process, on top of that it was only a matter of a few days before I noticed the lid cracked / smashed (I have no idea how this even happened). 

Of the product itself, I applied this to keep my face hydrated and prevent it from drying out. A lot of people over on the site highly recommend this, personally I never saw any dramatic change, it didn't make any effect on my skin either. Therefore overall this product is "ok-bad" personally because of the packaging of the bottle, I would rate this 4/10. Click here to view the item

5. Facial Cream
This product is very useful if you suffer with dry skin, as I've said I am the complete opposite and suffer with oily skin. Although as of recent I have switched to use tea-tree products to control the oilyness, I found using a little bit of this product along my nose (which is the area which tends to dry out) works perfect, I have no issues, its light weight, it keeps my nose hydrated perfectly and I only use a little amount. I would honestly rate this product as an 7/10, Click here to view the item

6. Eye cream
Now this product is suppose to be used if you suffer with "dark circles", however.... I am only 18 and I have never suffered with this problem (yet), although I thought I would still give it a go... I applied a small amount of this using my index finger, and rubbing along under my eyes and blending backwards towards my nose. I found you only need a little amount of this, when I applied it my eyes felt open, fresh, and more absorb to the air. I never found any other difference other than this, although the rating online is highly recommended. I would personally purchase a mini of this before paying out for the full size, rating 7/10. Click here to view the item

Thank you for reading guys, I hope you enjoyed it! Don't forget to comment below your thoughts, have you used any of these products before? Whats your thoughts?

Hey guys! So have you ever had empty jars off a product and feel like its a waste of binning them? Well STOP! I recently discovered some bloggers who reuse jars with some awesome methods, I just had to try it myself!
I had a large jar of the Yankee Candle Jelly Bean it came towards the end (where the wick wouldn't burn no more / struggled to light it, so I placed the jar into my freezer for about 2-3 hours (WITHOUT the lid on!). When I removed it the wax at the bottom had frozen solid and was freely moving around, I used a sharp knife (PLEASE BE CAREFUL - GET AN ADULT TO HELP / SUPERVISE!) and dabbed it a few times to crack the wax (You could try banging the jar but be-careful it doesn't smash). Then tip the jar upside down to let the wax freely remove, keep hold of the empty wax (let it unfreeze) then you can reuse as a melt in a candle wax burner, this works perfect because Yankee Candles are such strong scented this lasted a good few hours for about 4 days!


Then, wash the jar out thoroughly until it is completely clean - don't forget to clean out the lid too! Then you have a clean empty Yankee Candle Jar! 



So, I was going to use it to store makeup brushes but I recently purchased a new jar holder for them... So I thought I'd try something a little more creative. I used some purple gem stones purchased from IKEA to fill the jar then place some votive's / melts in the top as a statement piece for my desk!

I've saw others use the jars to store sweets, candy, pencils, lip glosses etc... Comment below if you've tried anything yet? I'd love to see, I have a few more jars I need to be creative with! Xo

Hi guys! So I recently got asked by Iconemesis if I would like to have a phone case to feature on my blog! Of course I said yes, simply because all there products are quirky and unique but super stylish and very very popular in the blogging industry! I received this beautiful purple floral phone case in the post yesterday and just couldn't wait!



This case is the - " Johanna Basford Floral " for iPhone 5 / 5s (because I have an iPhone 5), although this is available in different colours + iPhone sizes (I will leave links at end of post!). To begin with, this phone case very stylish I just love the colours, but what more is how smooth the back is! The most important thing I personally think for phone cases is to have one which you can handle easily and not be uncomfortable with! This is easy to hold, the smoothness doesn't affect the grip and just looks perfect! After placing my iPhone in (which went into place easy enough with no problems), it was firm and would not fall out (which is what you need for a phone case!) 


Overall, I think this phone case + the company are beautiful and just perfect the only thing I would wish for in the future is too see more cases available for various phone types other than iPhone's :-) Be sure to comment below your thoughts, have you ever owned a Iconemesis case? Which is your favorite? What phone do you have? :-) + Don't forget to follow my blog on the home page! X

Hey guys! So as I live in the UK it is very hard to find American Candy, recently in my local town a "Poundland" store has opened up where everything is £1. I went to check the shop out a few days ago to discover they had a very small selection of American Candy, I was so happy like a little kid in a sweet shop! I picked up one of each and tucked in as soon as I got home, I have never really tried "peanut butter" it just never seemed an attraction to me. Until I tried these.... They are covered in a milky chocolate wrapping a solid crunchy yellow substance which is a sugary peanut butter for the first few seconds they are crunchy and chewy but then they instantly melt and become a soft substance! It was literally mouth watering, I was obsessed, although in this box there isn't a huge amount it was 100% worth it!



Whats your favorite American Candy? Let me know what I should try out next! :-) X

Hey guys! So I recently came across this bath foam in a local store & had to pick it up! The scent is so sweet it almost remind me of a honey, the bottle is a huge 750ml which I know is going to last a while! At first I was worried about how much I would need to use this product, but I used just a little and it filled the bath full of foamy bubbles! The smell was very light and sweet, the water turning milky and soft on my skin it was pure relaxing.



Let me know what your favorite bath products are in the comments below! :-) X

Hey guys so I thought i'd include something a bit different on my blog today! A few weeks ago me and my mum went shopping and ended up buying lots of Clinique products after getting our skin matched and a free makeover! My mum has very "normal" skin, no issues, blemishes etc... The only thing I would say is she suffers with "Redness" mainly in the cheeks! She is also a medium skin tone colour....

 This foundation is very good for coverage, it covers the redness and gives a neutral natural appearance. Applying this after moisturizing / primer using a foundation brush gives a flawless finish the colour is a perfect match for my mum ( I highly recommend you visiting a Clinque counter there is some in Boots & Debnhams stores ) where they can match you up for FREE and your not obliged to buy there and then...




 The only negative thing I would have to say about this product, is that is is a squeeze tube type, which could become a pain when your almost towards the end of the product.... And that the tube isn't all that of a "huge" size but its still very useful and a new favorite of my mums :-)

So I recently purchased this item off QVC in search for new cheek products and decided to choose this as it has been highly reviewed recently. It arrived in this cute little box, as usual Benefit packaging being super cute! It had a simple mini brush inside, where a mirror is when the lid is lifted up. 




At first I wasn't impressed it took me awhile to get the colour to come out but I then used another brush of mine and it worked fabulous! The colour is in between a pink and coral mixed together with a perfect shimmer, I found it applied smoothly with no issues, lasted all day long and really helped enhance my face dimension. As for the brush which came with it, I think because it is " new " and " unused " it needs to be used a few times, but I prefer to stick with my usual brushes but this mini brush is perfect for a handbag size / travel!

Hey guys! So two weeks ago QVC (UK) had some amazing offers over on there Yankee Candle Show, I couldn't help but resist purchasing some new candles to add to the collection!
I found this amazing set of three Large Jars for £43.50 (They usually retail for £20 each!!!) The first candle which i'm very common with is;

  1. Home Sweet Home Large Jar - This is a favorite of mine, it has a hint of cinnamon with spices blended it. It almost reminds me of the outdoors, fresh forest which is overgrown with oak wood and trees. It is just perfect and makes me exited for Christmas with it's winter feel!
  2. Cinnamon Stick Large Jar - This candle has an extremely strong scent of cinnamon burst out, it is 100% very winter like reminding me of sitting in warm blankets with a cup of hot coco!
  3. Fireside Treats Large Jar - I have never experienced this candle before, and was very exicted to try it out! When it arrived the first scent I got was super super sweet and candy like, reminding me instantly of the scent you get when you open a bag of marshmallows! I can honestly say I have fallen in love with this candle, it is my 2nd favorite (First being Vanilla Cupcake) I just love the sweet scent!
Overall, I'm super happy with this offer QVC had for us! It is still avalible on there site, let me know what your favorite Yankee Candle is? :-)

Hey guys! So I recently received five EOS lip balms, I tried two of these previously and wasn't a huge fan although that could of been down to the "flavors". 


1. Strawberry Sorbet - Pink (TOP LEFT CORNER)
This is my favorite out of all EOS lip balms I've tried so far! It is very sweet, fresh and pretty much "strawberry" flavor! The smell is refreshing and very appetizing making you want to apply it all the time! 

 2. Medicated Tangerine - Orange (TOP RIGHT CORNER)
This EOS lip balm is not a favorite! In fact it is probably one of the worst, why? Because I'm just not a fan of the scent I'm not 100% sure how to describe this, all I can say is it reminds me of some kind of horrible medicine! The scent is just beyond not appealing and puts me off applying..

 3. Honeysuckle Honeydew - Green (CENTER)
This is very useful for those suffering with Gluten issues as it is Gluten Free! :-) The scent? Well its very "clean" reminds me of sweet melons and is an "ok" appeal. When applied I noticed this one did last a lot longer and moisturized my lips more than any of the other EOS Lip balms used? (Not sure why)

 4. Raspberry Pomegrante - Red (BOTTOM LEFT CORNER)
This lip balm is again a new favorite! The flavor is so fruity, fresh and just pure tasty! I love this balm simply because of how attractive the scent/flavor is!
5. BlueBerry Acai - Blue (BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER)
This EOS lip balm is very sweet and a very strong blueberry flavor to it! It does genuinely want you to lick your lips another favorite! :-)

Overall, I have had a new experience with these lip balms I think depending on the flavor you use influences your love for these. Although I have had an open experience I do still think the shape of the product isn't the best and struggle applying to the inner corner of my lips (I find I end up using my finger on the product then applying to inner corners)...

Have you guys ever tried any EOS lip balms? Whats your thoughts? Favorites? Do you struggle applying like me? Let me know in the comments! Xo

Hey guys, so I recently subscribed to the Glamour Magazine (They have various offers/deals available). When I subscribed it was an amazing £1 for three months issues + these amazing hair care products from TIGI. After paying it was about a week and they arrived packaged perfect and huge huge HUGE 250ml size bottles! 

I decided I wanted to use these a few times before writing about them, at first when I used the Shampoo (After wetting / damping my hair) it was like a very light peachy colour, smelling so strong of PEACHES! It was so fruity and summery I was very excited, after I rinsed it out I then placed the conditioner which is a white liquid. It again had a summer fruity scent to it... I have been using this for about two weeks I must admit although these are generally pricey to buy they are 100% worth it. I usually wash my hair every other day, but with these I find my hair is perfect and doesn't need a wash till about 4 days later.... I've not had any issues with this such as greasy, dandruff etc... It has been fine and just a pleasure to use! Plus because the bottles are huge, I know this will last a good while! :-)



Have you guys ever used this product? Whats your fav haircare? Let me know in the comments! Xo

This lipstick was bought off AVON sometime last year, its colour reminds me of a dark coral look, great for summer! This lipstick works like all others, you twist and the product pushes upwards. The lipstick does have a shimmer glow to it, when you apply it does have a matte look.
