Casual Outfit I'm Lusting After! #2 ♥

Hey beaut's!

Today I thought I'd share with you all another outfit that I'm currently lusting after, I done a post like this back in February and really liked switching things up abit and adding a little bit of fashion to my blog so I thought I'd do it all over again today. This time around I've gone for something super cute and super casual, sometimes I like nothing more than to just chuck on a pair of jeans with a baggy t-shirt and trainers and I've found a couple more pieces that fit perfectly into that cute/casual category that I need in my life. I hope you like it as much as I do beaut's...

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.

Models Own Nail Polish Review in Coral Reef ♥

Hey beaut's!

You may have seen that in my latest/very first Love Me Beauty Box I received a full size Models Own Nail Polish in the shade Coral Reef. The shade is absolutely stunning so I just had to review in full for you all.

Coral Reef is a bright, red toned coral that has a certain wow factor about it because when it's on the nails it's extremely eye catching, it's also the perfect shade for Spring/Summer wear and looks super cute on toes too. Like all Model's Own nail polishes that I've tried the formula is lovely and creamy and applies smooth with no bubbling or streaking what so ever, and I find one coat was enough for Coral Reef to be completely opaque although I always like to apply 2 coats for extra lasting power. Talking of lasting power... This little beauty lasts on my nails for a good 4-5 days and that's without a top coat... Arhh I just love this formula, it's so amazing and really replicates high end quality.

As for the packaging... I love it! The entire Models Own nail polish range all have the same glass bottle design that holds 14ml's worth of polish and is finished off with a large, rounded plastic lid that screws on tightly making it nice and secure, I think the bottles look super cute on display too. The brush doesn't differ from any normal nail polish really but the bristles do hold their shape well and don't shed at all whilst applying the polish.
Overall I love this nail polish, the formula is lovely, it lasts really well on my nails and the colour is fabulous. It's great for the Summer and looks fantastic on toes too, what's not to love ha ha.

Models Own Nail Polishes are available from selected Boot's stores and online from the Models Own website and will set you back £5.00 per polish but Models Own always seems to have multi buy deals on at the moment.

Have you tried this nail polish before?? Did you get it in your Love Me Beauty Box?? I'd love to know!

April Love Me Beauty Box Review ♥

Hey beaut's!!!

You probably know by now that I love a good ole beauty box subscription, and recently whilst catching up on some blog reading I noticed a few reviews on the Love Me Beauty Box and as I loved the whole concept of the box I thought I'd give it a go. Love Me Beauty is a monthly subscription box (£10+ p&p) with a difference, unlike many beauty boxes that are full of surprise products that we may or may not like, Love Me Beauty allow 'us' their subscribers to choose between 3 menu's, with each menu's contents valuing £30+ and will contain between 4-5 products and will have 1 to 2 star products (full size) and 3 travel sized samples. However if you do like the element of surprise Love Me Beauty do have an option for a surprise box, and if any of the 3 menu's don't tickle your fancy on that particular month you can simply skip that months box, with no charge at all which I think is a fab idea.

So lets see what goodies I received inside my very first Love Me Beauty Box...

Neal & Wolf  Smoothing Blow-Dry Balm | Full Size 200ml | RRP £12.50
The first of my full size products is in the shape of a blow-dry balm from Neal & Wolf. The silk smoothing balm claims to put an end to tangles and frizz, whilst its hydrating wheat protein complex provides moisture, balance and manageability. It sounds pretty fab to me and is just what need as I blow dry my hair often and I'm always getting those frizzy fly aways. I've actually used Neal & Wolf products in the past and loved them so I've got pretty high hopes for this.

Models Own Nail Polish in Coral Reef | Full Size 14ml | RRP £5.00
I've always loved Models Own nail polishes as their formula and lasting ability is great and I just love this shade 'Coral Reef', like the name suggests it's a bright coral shade that will be amazing for the Summer months, ohhh I can just imagine it looking amazing against a tan too. 

Betty Hula Secret Wonder Oil Roller Ball | Full Size 10ml | RRP £6.50
Betty Hula isn't a brand that I'm familiar with and body oils usually aren't my thing at all, however I love the fact that this oil in particular has a handy roller ball applicator, it makes it so much easier to apply and is great for on the go when you need an emergency moister boost. I've only used the oil on my cuticles so far but it worked a treat so I'm looking forward to experimenting more with this.

Redken Colour Extend Conditioner | 25 ml sample |
 I've heard so many good things about Redken haircare and even though I don't have colour treated hair I'm pretty sure this little conditioner will work just as well on my hair, the ends of my hair need all the help they can get ha ha, the conditioner also smells amazing so I cant wait to see the results.

Hello Fresh £25 Gift Card
I was chuffed to bits when I saw this £25.00 voucher to spend on the Hello Fresh website because I absolutely love to cook, I love making things from scratch and I love food so it's win win for me ha ha. Hello Fresh is a unique service that delivers fresh, high quality ingredients to your door, along with chef created recipe cards that guide you along the way to making delicious meals. I cant wait to use my voucher and get cooking he he.

Overall I'm really pleased with what I received in my very first Love Me Beauty Box, I'm definitely going to keep subscribed for the next few months and see if the boxes continue to be as fab as this one. I valued of all my full size products and my Hello Fresh voucher and it came to £49.00 and that's without taking into consideration the value of my Redken sample, how amazing is that! If your new to beauty boxes I'd highly recommend giving Love Me Beauty a whirl as the concept is great and if you don't like it you can cancel your subscription free of charge at any time.

What beauty box do you get beaut's?? I'd love to know to know your thoughts on Love Me Beauty's concept, is it a yay or nay he he!!
