Summer Outfit Wishlist ♥

Hey beaut's!

Since we are currently in the middle of a blommin' scorching hot heatwave is the UK I thought it would be the perfect time to share an outfit I'm currently lusting after! Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how pretty that dress is, it's from Topshop and is in that pinafore style which I think is just gorgeous! I'm also on the hunt for some heart shaped sunglasses, I think they are so fun and will make any outfit look super cute! As well as the fashion pieces I'm also lusting after the Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray to create those tousled beachy waves, the Too Faced Matte Bronzer to create that bronzed goddess look and the Tanya Burr lip gloss in Just Peachy so add a subtle summery shine to the lips. Let me know if you have anything on my wishlist beaut's and what you think/thought of it!Summer Outfit Wishlist

My Top 3 Spring/Summer Scents Reviewed! ♥

Hey beaut's!

I love to switch things up in my perfume caddie when the seasons change, so today I thought I'd share with you all three fruity, floral fragrances that I'll be rocking this Spring/Summer!

Vera Wang Hippie Princess* 30ml £19.99

I'm a huge lover of Vera Wang's perfumes, her scents are always incredible and the bottles are simply stunning, and her new offering Hippie Princess really doesn't disappoint. Hippie Princess is a very fruity scent and it's exotic fruit and gentle floral notes really do come through when you first spritz this heart shaped beauty, as the scent dries down there's a slight sweetness that comes through which is down to it's warm vanilla note and as a whole the scent isn't over powering or ridiculously strong either. Overall I love this scent and think it would work amazingly in the warm/hot summer months, its a really lovely young everyday scent that will leave you smelling sweet and tropical.

Top Notes- Red Mango, Apple Blossom and White Freesia. 
Heart Notes- Lotus, Jasmine and Apricot Nectar.
Base Notes- Blonde Woods, Vanilla and Pink Musk.

Jimmy Choo Blossom* 40ml £30.50

Blossom is Jimmy Choo's brand new fragrance for 2015 and is inspired by the sweet fragrances of the summer months. When I first gave Blossom a spritz it was very apparent that the fragrance opened up with sweet, juicy notes which come from the Sweet Pea, Red Berries and Citrus, once the very sweet opening drys down it then turns surprisingly into a somewhat floral, fruity mash up which is so nice and very summery. If your slightly shy of stronger scents then Blossom may not be for you because it definitely packs a fragrant punch, but I've found it's strong scent definitely helps with it's longevity as this is one very long lasting perfume. Overall I think Jimmy Choo's Blossom is perfect for the summer season, it's feminine, sweet and floral and would be perfect for those summer evenings out, although I would say it's a great all rounder scent for day and night time wear but my personal preference would be to use Blossom as a evening scent.

Top Notes-  Red Berries and Citrus. 
Heart Notes- Sweet Pea and Roses.
Base Notes- Sandalwood and White Musk.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream* 30ml £32.99

I absolutely adore all of the Marc Jacobs Daisy perfumes, they smell so gorgeous and the packaging is to die for so Daisy Dream was an absolute must for me to try! Daisy Dream is a light fruity floral fragrance that's inspired by daises and blue skies. I think Daisy Dream may be my favourite scent for this season, it's just so feminine, sophisticated, airy, light and is absolutely perfect for daytime wear during the Spring and Summer months because it's not overpowering at all. I do find Daisy Dream quite similar to the original Daisy fragrance but Daisy Dream is that little bit more fruity. I cant not mention the gorgeous bottle can I, it's adorned with pretty white daisies and has gold accents on the cap, arrhhhh I just love it so much!

Top Notes- Blackberry, Grapefruit and Pear.
Heart Notes- Jasmine, Lychee and Blue Wisteria.
Base Notes- White Woods, Musks and Coconut Water.

You can find all the fragrances above on the Fragrance Direct website along with lots of other discounted branded perfumes. 

What fragrances will you be rocking this Spring/Summer beaut's?? I'd love to know!!

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Sorbet Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

It's that time of the year again where Spring is upon us and we need to refresh our perfume stash! Say goodbye to those deep, spicy fragrances and hello to the more light, fruity, floral scents. As I've been road testing and quite frankly addicted to the new Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Sorbet* perfume recently I thought I'd share it with all you beauties, it's just so perfect for Spring. 
Daisy Eau So Fresh Sorbet is one of two new limited-edition Daisy fragrances by the popular designer Marc Jacobs. From the get go I pretty much knew I'd love the scent of this perfume, I'm a huge fan of Marc Jacobs line of Daisy fragrances anyway and Eau So Fresh Sorbet still has me in love with the line as it smells so gorgeous! Daisy Eau So Fresh Sorbet is definitely a fresher take on the fruity-floral genre. It opens up with top notes of juicy mandarin and apple blossom, it's heart notes are fresh magnolia, jasmine and dewy violet bloom and the base is musky, creamy and ever so slightly woody.
When you first spritz Daisy Eau So Fresh Sorbet you aren't met with a strong overpowering scent that needs time to dry down, instead you are met with a light, refreshing, fruity scent that sits on the skin beautifully, as the scent lingers on the skin throughout the day the floral notes start to come through with a slight sweet kick of vanilla. The lasting power of Daisy Eau So Fresh Sorbet has really impressed me, I spray about 3 spritz' (wrists, neck and of course one more for luck on my clothes ha ha) and I can honestly smell the perfume on me all day, and even when I get into bed that evening I can still smell it, it's also very much a complimentary perfume where alot of people can smell it on me and they seem to love it and ask what I'm wearing, which again is always nice. It's also a scent that I would describe as an all rounder, so it's not to young nore too mature and would be suitable for day and nighttime wear during the Spring/Summer months.
And lastly, can we just appreciate how gorgeous the packaging is... Daisy Eau So Fresh Sorbet comes housed in a thick glass bottle with a pretty, iconic gold lid that is decorated with 6 beautiful deep pink and purple Daisies. I think it's a very ornamental perfume bottle, I mean how pretty will the bottle look on any dressing table.

Overall like I predicted I absolutely love Daisy Eau So Fresh Sorbet, I'd highly recommend it if your looking for something fresh, fruity and floral for the Spring/Summer months that isn't overpowering in the slightest. You can find Daisy Eau So Fresh Sorbet 75ml on the Fragrance Direct website for £47.99 instead of the RRP of £56.00, yessss gotta love a saving he he. 

Have you tried Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Sorbet yet beaut's?? What did you think?? I'd love to know.

Makeup/Beauty Wishlist ♥

Hey beaut's!

Today I'm back with yet another Makeup/Beauty Wish List he he, I know, I know, I'm makeup obsessed but I am a beauty blogger after all he he. I've seen so many things that I love recently but I'm most excited about the new Zoeva Rose Golden Brush Set, isn't it beautiful! I cant tell you how much I want to try some Zoeva Brushes, I always here such good things about the quality and they just look gorgeous! I've also got my eye on the new Stila Nouveau Natural Eyeshadow Palette, it's packed full of pretty neutrals and just looks amazing. I was quite excited to see MUA's new launch of their Sweet Sheen Lip Balms, I'm hoping their going to be good dupes for the Revlon Lip Butters and they are only £2.00 each so I'm definitely going to be picking a few of those up soon.

Current Beauty Wishlist ♥

Hey beaut's!

It's wishlist time again ha ha... I swear my beauty wishlist will never end, there's always so many pretty things that I want he he! You may notice that there's lots of Spring appropriate things on my wishlist this time around, I just love all the delicate pink shades that you see around this time of year, I cant resist them! I think the Maybelline Dream Flawless Nude Foundation teamed with the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette and the Mary Lou Manizer Highlighter would be the ultimate trio to achieve that dewy, healthy spring like skin, oh my goodness I can literally imagine it now! I also think the MAC Cinderella eyeshadow palette would work amazingly during the Spring, the shades are so subtle and pretty aren't they. And can we all take a moment to appreciate how amazing the Disney Sleeping Beauty Sweatshirt from ASOS is, I want it so bad!!!!

Festive Reds | Christmas Gift Guide

Festive Reds | Christmas Gift Guide
Hey beaut's!!!

Since there are only 31 sleeps until Christmas, eeeeekkk yup, that's right just 31 sleeps... I thought I'd do another Christmas gift guide with a girlie festive red theme, I actually done one of these last year and really enjoyed doing it so I thought I'd do another he he. I've gone for a mixture of cute bits you can pop in for stocking fillers and then some bigger bits for under the tree. I hope you enjoy!!!
Marc Jacobs 'Dot' Perfume
Marc Jacobs perfumes always make great gifts, not only do his perfumes smell incredible but the packaging of all Marc Jacobs perfumes are cute and look that extra bit special.

Lush Santa's Lip Scrub £5.50
Everyone loves abit of Lush for Christmas don't they... And I think this Santa Lip Scrub would be an amazing stocking filler, it's cola flavoured and can be licked off once you've polished your lips, yum!


Christmas Jumper from Boohoo £15.00
I just couldn't do a Christmas gift guide without a classic Christmas jumper, it just had to be done. There are loads to choose from at the moment in all different retailers but I chose this cute reindeer and snowflake one from boohoo because I think you could get away with wearing it after Christmas for a short while too. 


Tanya Burr 'Enchanted Forest' Lip Gloss £6.99
The lovely Tanya Burr has some brand NEW releases for all of us just in time for Christmas and one of the new gloss shades caught my eye straight away. Enchanted Forest looks like the most beautiful dark berry red shade which would be perfect for the festive season and I think it would make the perfect stocking filler.


Red Cheque Pyjama Top and Shorts £7.99 each
This pyjama set from New Look is absolutely gorgeous! Tartan is really in this year and I just love the dark shade of this particular tartan print on this cute little set. I think pyjama's are an absolute winner when it comes to Christmas prezzies and if your not to keen  
on the little shorts then New Look actually do the same print in long bottoms too, so its quite nice that you can mix and match.


Heart And Stripe Slipper Socks £3.99
Everyone loves some cute snugly socks for Christmas and these fluffy heart/striped ones from New Look are just so cute.


Yankee Candle 'Holiday Magic' £13.00
It wouldn't be a haysparkle gift guide without the appearance of a festive candle, as you may know from my Instagram I'm a candle addict he he. I chose Yankee Candle's 'Holiday Magic' as it just sounds so Christmasy and I can only imagine it smells simply incredible. 


Iris & Edie Red Slipper Boots £18.00
Slippers are an absolute essential for this time of year and something everyone loves, nobody likes cold tootsies do they! I think these little bootie style slippers from Debenhams are lovely and perfect to use after Christmas too as they aren't overly festive looking. 


Red Fair Isle Hot Water Bottle and Socks Set £12.00
A hot water bottle is something nice to give to someone who really loves their snugly duvet days or if your anything like me, I like to pop it in the bed to make the inside of my bed nice and warm before I get in it ha ha. This set from Debenhams actually comes with matching fluffy socks which I think is a really nice touch.


Models Own Diamond Luxe Heart Red £4.99
And lastly.. Another prefect stocking filler for any beauty lover is a pretty nail polish and my goodness this Models Own Diamond Luxe nail polish is a goodun! The nail polish itself is infused with real diamond dust which is just flipping amazing and theres 10 shades to choose from in the collection so theres a shade to suit all!

I hope you enjoyed another Christmas gift guide from me beaut's and I hope it's given you a few idea's on what to get the ladies in your life, whether it be for your family or friends.

My Current Beauty Wishlist

My Current Beauty Wishlist
Hey beaut's!

I realised recently that I haven't done a wish list post in a very long time and since I'm currently lusting after some gorgeous bits and bobs in the beauty world I thought I would share them all with you, also my birthday is coming up soon on the 31st August so if I'm lucky enough to get some pennies to spend I will probably end up treating myself to a few of the bits within my wish list!


Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Fragrance
I'm a huge fan of Marc Jacobs fragrance's and I've given his new offering 'Daisy Dream' a whiff in the shops and it's gorgeous, so without a doubt it just had to go on my wish list, and as always the bottle is absolutely beautiful and would look perfect of my dresser he he. 


Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Solution

I've been wanting to try Bioderma for what seems like years but I never just go for it and buy it because I just dont know if it will differ much from my Garnier Micellar Water but curiousolty is getting to me so I need to buy it soon! 
Tangle Teezer Detangling Brush
Again something else I've been lusting after ever since they have been released is a trusty Tangle Teezer! I have quite long hair which can take ages to brush out and can be painful too at times so I honestly think a Tangle Teezer could answer a lot of my prayers he he.


Benefit The Bronze Of Champions Set
Doesn't this look like a gorgeously glowing set, oooohhhh! The Bronze of Champions Set comes complete with the What's Up Highlighter, Hoola Bronzer + Powder Brush, Crease less Cream Shadow in Bikini Tini, Long wear Powder Eyeshadow in Thanks A Latte, They're Real Mascara and the Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in Hoola and they are all in miniatures too which I love, I mean who wouldn't want all that in    their life he he.


Zoeva Rose Gold Makeup Brush Set
The Zoeva Rose Gold Makeup Brush Set has to be the most beautiful looking brush set I have ever seen and it's fair to say it extremely popular in the beauty world, I can just imagine that the quality of the brushes within the set are incredible too so it would be nice to finally have them in my stash. 

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation
I'm dying to try this foundation, Ive watched numerous YouTube videos of Sheer Glow being used and it just looks incredible on the skin, my only problem is I have never been able to justify the hefty price tag but hopefully I can treat myself soon.


Makeup Revolution Blushing Hearts Blush
How stunning do the Makeup Revolution Blushing Heart's look, they're are six to collect in total ranging from blushes, highlighters and bronzers and I want and need them all. They also look like amazing dupes for the Tow Faced Sweetheart Blushes which cost a fortune so I'll definitely be getting Makeup Revolutions affordable option! 


Makeup Revolution Ultra Cover and Conceal Palette in Medium/Dark
I do already own this beautiful Cover ad Conceal Palette in Light which I love to use for its purpose of concealing and sometimes cream highlighting but I really want the Medium/Dark offering to use for cream contouring, I think it would work amazingly, so I'll definitely be buying this! 


And there you have it, my current beauty wishlist! I'd love to know if you have or have tried any of the items within my wislist and if you think they are definate must haves hehe, let me know beaut's!

Weekly Beauty Favourites #1

Hey beaut's!!!

Today I thought I'd do something a little different, I always do my monthly beauty favourites but I thought every now and again I could switch things up and do a weekly favourites post, just when there are stand out products that I've loved using throughout that particular week. Do let me know if you like the idea beaut's, is it a yay or nay ha ha!

Anyway onto this weeks delights...

Sleek Garden of Eden Palette
   Ive been using this stunning palette everyday this week as it's perfect for Springtime wear,  the shades eve's kiss, paradise on earth, forbidden and flora are my most worn shades this week.. Ohh they're so pretty!!! I think the Garden of Eden Palette is such a lovely take on neutrals palette and the combination of the earthy browns, dusky purples and the organic greens work so well together. As with all of the Sleek i-Divine Palette's I've tried the quality is amazing and the eye shadows last on my oily eyelids all day without a primer which is just fantastic! You can read my full review and see my swatches of the shades HERE.

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Lips in Vega
I only bought this little beauty just over a week ago but I've been wearing it every day since, its just so pretty and I love the formula. I picked up the shade Vega, as it's a summery version of a vampy red lip and you know how much I loved my vampy red lips during the Autumn/Winter so it's nice to have a cooled down version for Summer...ohhh its just so lovely. I'll have a full review coming soon so keep those eyes peeled beaut's he he.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water
Garnier's offering of the popular Micellar Water is a firm favourite for most of us beauty bloggers and I have certainly become addicted to the stuff, so much so that I have another bottle sitting in my cupboard ready for when my current bottle runs out, even though I'm not even half way through yet he he, oh well it's always good to be prepared! The solution itself is so soft and gentle and just dissolves all my makeup and the days dirt instantly without the need to rub at my face or be rough on my eyes. I've notice after use it leaves my skin so refreshed, lovely and soft and it isn't drying in the slightest either. If you'd like to know abit more about this little beauty you can check out my full review and pictures HERE.

Poundland Bargain Nail Polishes
Recently I've been finding some amazing beauty bargains in Poundland and in particular I've been loving these gorgeous sparkly Revlon nail varnishes that I picked up. The Blue is called 'Midnight Sparkle' and is an opaque blue polish crammed full of different sized sparkles, it just reminds me so much the sea when your on holiday when the sun makes it glisten, its so pretty. The Purple is called 'Brilliant Bordeaux' which has loads of purple and silver holographic glitters suspended within a clear polish, which I've been loving for an accent top coat over a pastel pink/pastel lilac nail he he. You can really get some amazing things in Poundland if go in at the right time, I've seen and bought brands such as OPI, Dainty Doll, L'Oreal, Calvin Klein, Collection, Rimmel, Sinful Colors and many more so its definitely worth a look around.

Marc Jacobs 'Daisy' Bubbly Shower Gel
I have been obsessed with Marc Jacob's 'Daisy' scent recently and this week I've been using up the remaining bubbly shower gel that I got within the Daisy Gift Set. I find it works so well with the Daisy perfume and enhances the scent and lasting power dramatically, not to mention it's the perfect scent to accompany the springtime season. The Bubbly Shower Gel also feels like such a luxurious treat, as the name would suggest it lathers up loads and makes your skin feel super soft, moisturised and refreshed.

What have you been enjoying this week beauty wise? I'd love to know!
