Yankee Candle Haul!

Hey all!

Sorry I haven't been updating as much as I maybe should have! I've been very emotionally ill the last couple days and to be honest the last thing I wanted to do was dress up and take pictures so I was a little low on content!

Anyway, I went to my local garden centre specifically to buy some Yankee Candle products. I went mainly for some tealights for my tart burner and I came away with a few bargains.

First off, the tealights were on sale along with a selection of wax tarts (I only got one of the on sale wax tarts) so I took advantage and bought two packs.

They were £4.99 each and considering that you get 12 delicious smelling, rather decent-sized tealights, I would say they were a steal! I got Camomile Tea and Red Velvet. Red Velvet, of course, smells absolutely delightful and Camomile Tea smells alright. I wasn't too keen on the tea one just because it is a bit of a bizarre smell. NOTE: I've never actually drank, nor smelt, Camomile Tea in my life!

I got an array of wax tarts next. First was November Rain which smells really zingy and fresh. I'm excited to burn this one, but feel obliged to wait until November!

Blissful Autumn is gorgeous and has a real "fall" scent to it. Definitely next on my list of burns. 

River Valley was the only tart on sale at 89p. I think they are normally around £1.25 a tart but I can't really remember in all honesty. It smells nice and that's about all I can say about this one.

This is amazing apart from one thing: it smells like cupcake instead of cookie. But it's still very pleasant on the nose nonetheless. And it's pretty looking! SnowFlake Cookie!

Season Of Peace was my shock of the day, it smells amazing! I thought it would be bland and horrible but it smells so good! In fact, it was my favourite purchase of the day and probably my new fave scent by Yankee Candle. May just have to stock up before the spring!

So I hope you enjoyed this post.

Sorry about not doing more, I have been ill though and not just skiving! ;)

Weekly Wishlist Wants!!

So this was *supposed* to go up yesterday (well technically 2 days ago as it's 12:23AM) but I was busy!
I've seen people on the blogosphere post their "wishlist wants" as such so decided I would make it a weekly feature. So you people can see what I'm lusting over! Everything this week is kinda expensive and a bit more higher end but hey ho, I've been feeling like spoiling myself and this is the stuff top of my wishlist. Here are five things I've been lusting over!

1. Marc Jacobs Daisy Sunshine Perfume 50ml.
So I have wanted this since I heard about it. My mum has the original and to be honest I'm not the BIGGEST fan over it. Though I love the packaging and Marc Jacobs perfumes. I thought the original Daisy was a little played down in scent so I'm hoping this one will smell a bit more vibrant! I think I will buy this sooner or later!

2. Michael Kors Jet Set silver watch.
This is gorgeous....and I need it. ;) Just kidding. Though I do REALLY want it. I have a rose gold MK watch and adore it so the silver one is pretty much a neccessity for me at this stage and it was always only a matter of time before I indulged in another Michael Kors watch!

3. Iron Fist Heels.
Don't remember the actual name of these type of heels but I saw them on Amazon when I was online shoe shopping for my Iron Fist flats before and have adored them ever since. I'm not the biggest heel wearer but do like an occasional heel! These are so pretty and rather gaudy which is totally my style. Yet they still have that edge and don't look tacky (well maybe a little!).

4. Michael Kors Jet Set White Bag.
UGHHHHHHHH! This bag is amazing. It's so pretty, chic, elegant, you name it! It's just so beautiful! I want this so badly! I might take a trip down to Biecester Village to check this one out! I will probably never buy it but when it comes to my birthday this will be top of my list!

5. Real Techniques Core Collection Kit.
I have never tried Real Techniques but I'm dying too. And what better way to get introduced than a core collection?! The brushes look amazing and such good quality. I'm surprised I haven't bought any yet. They don't stock them in my local Boots. But I might just purchase them online. Look out for these to appear on my blog because me buying them is most likely going to happen!

So that was my weekly wishlist wants. Hope you enjoyed. And tell me your five most wanted things in the comments or tweet me!

YAY!

Boots (Drugstore) Haul! ft. NEW Loreal lip products!

So today I went to boots and bought my sister a little present. (If you read my blog you might of seen that I bought her the Nicki Minaj perfume as a gift recently.) She takes photography for sixth form in school and lately the photos she's been taking for her exams have not been developing because of the school's bad chemicals and she has been really upset. So I decided I would buy her a present to cheer her up just in case they didn't come out this time. Luckily they did come out and so this was just a nice little surprise for her instead :)

So as boots were having a 3 for 2 on their Loreal makeup, I definitely took advantage! Loreal has come out with a couple new styles of lip products which I had heard a lot about on youtube. Apparently they are comparable to the YSL lip products. I have one of each of the original YSL products that these have been compared to (both the lipstick and the lipstain) and I will be doing a review with mine and my sister's thoughts on these products, comparing them to the YSL lip products. They had some other styles of lipstick that are like the YSL lipsticks in the plain tube (I'll be a LOT more detailed in my actual review!) but I didn't like any of the colours really so didn't get any of those.

Lipsticks- L'Oreal Rouge Caresse in shades
Cheeky Magenta
Lovely Rose
Metallic Coral.
Lipstains- L'Oreal Paris Glamshine stain splash in shades
Eve
Princess
Lolita.

Then I bought the Bourjous chocolate bronzer, which is something my sister and I have wanted forever!

I also bought a 3D Effect Lipgloss from Bourjous in Beige Elastic as I had it before and wanted a new one! (This one was for me!)

If you spent £12 or over on Bourjous you got a free blush and I chose this really cute one in Ashes of Roses.

I then gave her one of the new Lip Butters from Nivea in Vanilla and Macadamia. It smells absolutely beautiful and she said it was really soft.

So that is my haul.
Watch this space for the L'Oreal lip product reviews!

Thanks for reading!
