My A/W '13 Wishlist

Hello PPB's

Firstly I want to say amassive HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my best friend! :) I love you lots B! xxx

Anyway...

Every time a new season comes around I get so excited to see what new pieces come out in the shops and to see whats going to be 'the' colour and 'the' style for the new year and this year is not different, I have been looking around my favourite stores websites to find some pieces I would love to have in my wardrobe.

Here are just a few I have found so fair! :)

You all know that Zara and Mango are my greatest loves when it comes to fashion so all the items in this post are from one or the other! :)

So I have heard and I'm sure you have that 'the' colour for A/W 2013 is going to be pink!! This makes me very happy! Pink is seriously my favourite colour ever! This cardigan from Zara is £25.99 and I think perfect for this year! It would looks perfect with a plain T and some jeans for a casual day around the house, or dressed up over a cute dress with some tights, to keep you warm as the weather gets colder!

This Jumper is also from Zara and costs £45.99. I love over sized jumpers I think they are so comfy and perfect for everyday! How cute would this look with some pale pink jeans! I love the flower pattern on it too, so subtle but keeps it from just being a plain boring grey jumper! I love this!!

How amazing is this coat!! Sadly I can't buy this because I brought a coat last yeah for £90 so I really cant spend £79.99 on new one this year but seriously I'm in love with this coat! It has a hood too so perfect for England and the rain!I love the grey and Dusty Pink combo perfect for this season! Also I really like the fact it is a belt with it so it can be tightened to give you shape. Oh its from Zara and like I said its £79.99

I have really been loving shift dresses this year! They are so flattering and easy to wear for most body shapes! The pattern in this dress I love, Houndstooth I think is a very sophisticated look but with this dress I think it looks so cute, With some tights and a leather jacket I think this dress would look so good! Its from Mango and is £39.99

Okay so I know this dress isn't exactly Winter clothing but how cute would it look with the pink cardigan from Zara and some tights and little black ankle boots!! The pattern is lots of little bows.

I also love the little button detailing! so cute! :) So in love with this dress!! Its from Mango and costs £34.99

So there they are my wish list for this year! What do you think? Do you have anything on your wish list yet?

Penhaligon's 'Malabah' Candle

Hello PPB's

You all know how much I love candles and a few weeks ago I picked up one from Penhaligons, you probably already knew that from the title but anyway! haha If you haven't heart of Penhaligons before its a luxury Perfumery company, Pretty much every scent has a perfume, candle and Hand & body moisturisers and they all smell amazing!!

Heres a link to their site if your interested.

Anyway back to the Candle I purchased :) Its called 'Malabah' The scent of this candle is inspired by India and the spices. Its smell is a mix of citrus, sublime roses and spices.

In any other form this scent isn't my favourite, but in a candle is beautiful, so delicate and it burns really well, its not over powering at all and even if its alight you can still smell it when you walk in the room.

You get 140g and its costs £32 not the cheapest I know but so worth it! :)

Here

Let me know if you have every brought anything from Penhaligons before I would love to know!! :)

Lots of Love

May GlossyBox || 2nd Birthday

Its that time where every blogger basically does the same post but showing what they got in the current months glossybox, That's why I don't normally do this post, however I am so happy with what I received this month that I just really wanted to share! :)

I was so surprised and happy to have got 4 full size products this month!

Awapuhi Wild Ginger - Okay so I have no idea how to say that nore have I heard of this brand before, but I have to say I am so excited to try this out.This product claims to leave all hair types feeling soft, silky and hydrated, also to restore weak and damaged hair. It seems pretty simple to use as well, either spraying it onto already styled hair as a finisher or to use it while heat styling. I really hope this lives up to my expectations! If it does it may end up being a re-purchaser! Full size - 125ml - £18.95

Beautiful Movements Cosmetics (BM Beauty) - When I first say this I was like erm okay...what is that!! haha but it sounds amazing. From reading the description, it is an aloe Vera based gel that can be used as a primer to create a matte finish, mixed with powder blushes and bronzers to create a cream consistency, or used with eye shadow pigments to create liquid eyeliners. Personally I am going to try it as a primer and to create cream blushes! This could turn into a must have in my make up bag! Full Size - 20g - £20

Headline Colors - To be honest this is the only product I am abit disappointed with, I received it a black and I really can't wear black, with my pale skin it just doesn't work, I have to day I never seem to have much luck when it comes to nail polishes in Glossybox, I always seem to get the colour I can't wear or would never wear...oh well! Full Size - 10ml - £9

Collection Fast stroke eyeliner - I wouldn't call this a 'highend' product with it only costing £2.99 however I have only ever heard good things about this eyeliner, I don't wear a lot of liquid eyeliner but when I go out I do like to use it to create a More dramatic eye, so I guess we will see how I get on. This is also another full size int he box! Full Size - 6ml - £2.99

Jelly Pong Pong Fairy Lashes Mascara - I can't remember if it was the last box or the box before, we received a red lip stain in it from this brand and I love it!! So when I saw a full size mascara from the same brand I automatically had high hopes and had to try it straight away.

I love it!! It creates such a like natural lash! not clumpy and it makes my lashes look lovely, thick and long! BTW please ignore the awful eyebrows i am trying to grow them out atm lol...its really not a good look!

Anyway back to the mascara! I really do think I will repurchase this! I am so impressed with this product and brand! Full Size - £15

Last but not least there was a glossybox special of lots of little nail files! perfect to my bag and just so cute! :) Oh and there was a mini Green & Black dark chocolate bar, which a gave to my mum because I don't like dark chocolate but nether the less a lovely little finish!

Happy 2nd Birthday GlossyBox!!

Lots of Love

Neom Luxury Organics || Amara.co.uk

Hello Polly's

So I was lucky enough to be contacted by an amazing website called Amara.co.uk a few weeks ago and they were kind enough to let me choise something. Now everyone has heard of 'Neom Organics' by now surely? and when I saw that they are availible on the site as well as many more amazing brands!! (seriously go and have a look!) I couldnt resist but get one of them.

As you can see I chose the 3 wick candle called happiness, It contains White Neroli, Mimosa and Lemon...My goodness it smells amazing!! The smell just reminds me of spring! its a very fresh and well springy smell. I will write what the box says casue I really am awful and explaining smells.

The Fragrance - A Sprarking blend of white Neroli, Mimosa and Lemon is combined with natural fresh grass motes to create the awakening of spring.

The Treatment - This lively bend of happy notes will make you smile, take the weight off your shoulders and prinkle a little joy into your world.

The candles are made from 100% natural vegtetable was and pure aromatherapy oils. They burn clear so you don't get that horrible black soot stain all over the glass as it burns. They also burn realy smoothly using all the wax and not leaving any of the side of the jar, so none of the wax is wasted. Don't you hate it when you have burnt a candle all the way day and there is still enough wax left in the car to make a whole new candle, such a waste!

Tip - On a candles first burning, make sure the wax is melted all around, this makes the candle burn smoother and tends to stop the waste of wax :).

I found with this candle that on the first burning the smell was pretty strong and as much as I love the smell I was worried that it was going to give me a headache, but when I burnt it again, it seemed softer and now its perfect, leaving my room with an amazing suttle smell.

Neom products are on the pricey side, but if you have some spare money before pay day seriously treat yourself! Its so worth it!

Inside the packaging which is so cute! there is a saying and I love it I will leave you with it..

Happiness always looks small while you told it in your hands, but let it go and you learn at once how big and presious it is.

Lots of Love

Figs and Rouge

Hello lovelies! How have you all been? Keeping yourselves warm I hope!

With the weather being so cold, my lips have really been suffering! so when the Feb GlossyBox arrived I was very happy to find a Figs and Rough Balm tin inside!!

I adore the cute packaging! so vintage! its adorable! The tin is also a perfect size to carry around in your bag. It doesn't show up very well in the picture but the tin is a cute pale blue colour with pretty red, green and yellow strips going all the way around the side of the tin.

Figs and Rough only use natural ingredients in their products, none of their products use petroleum, no perfume is used or any colourants.They are full of omega fatty acids and plant oils which are very hydrating for lips and skin! With them being completely natural they can be used not just on your lips but on your skin, this product is perfect for those annoying dry patches you can get this time of year! I use this on my forehead, that's where I get dry skin and I have seen a difference, its not quick working but you can feel the effects gradually, on the lips however I love this!! Its feels like it have little grains in it, and these exfoliate my lips really well, leaving them so soft!

Find them!

FeelUnique is the cheapest I have found, with it only costing £3.49 they also have free delivery atm!

Boots also stock it costing £4.99

The Website : www.figsandrouge.com

Keep moisturised!
