I will also share some tips on how to de-stress and feel a lot more positive.
The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea - Bath Tea - I decided to pick up this bath tea salts from the body shop catalogue and I absolutely adore it! The price may put you off but it is totally worth it. I also bought the infuser to go with it.
Lush The Comforter Bubble Bar - I know that I talk about this all the time but it really is the best. It creates so many baths if you crumble in little pieces at a time. The pink bubbles have an uplifting and lingering scent to the skin, which leaves you feeling super happy.
The Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal Glow Mask - A product that hasn't been released yet is this charcoal mask from the body shop. I feel so special to own this and to be the first to try it. I have only used it once and it has helped my skin glow. An oily t-zone is a huge issue for me and this helps that. They are bringing out different kinds, so you better keep your eyes out for them if you are interested.
Lush Big Blue Bath Bomb - This is a wonderful smelling bath bomb and leaves your skin so soft. Seaweed does come out of the bomb and floats around the bath so if you aren't keen on things floating around in your bath then this one isn't for you. It is very relaxing with the lavender oil but fresher than Twilight.
Barry M Nail Polish Limited Edition 'Golden Sands' & 'Beach Keen' - What have I been wearing on my nails do you ask? Well, I have been adoring these limited edition ones from Barry M. Nude nails are so classy and right up my street recently. Adding a little bit of shimmer makes them look so pretty. Golden Sands has a bit of shimmer in and is so much better as a top coat, and Beach Keen is a beautiful blush colour with an amazing shiny finish.
What is included in your pamper evenings?

I had a little splurge into Boots in store and online, I thought I would share with you what I have bought. Most of these are very new to me so I can't wait to try them! Let me know if you have tried any of these products and give me your opinion.
Simple Kind To Skin Micellar Cleansing Water 400ml / £4.00 (on offer) - Simple has always been a skin care brand that I have adored ever since I was a teenager and was going through the break outs. Now I still do but Simple always help! I decided to pick up their new micellar cleansing water as I was running out of my Bioderma anyway and because it was on a special offer. I have already tried this out and it removes my make-up perfectly well and quickly, and it leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean.
Simple Kind To Skin Hydrating Cleansing Oil / £4.50 (on offer) - Another Simple product that I decided to pick up was their cleansing oil which I also think is brand new. This came with my order yesterday so I am yet to try it out yet.
L'oreal Paris Nude Cushion Foundation / £14.99 - A product I am not so sure about yet is this cushion foundation by l'oreal. I have heard a lot of good things about this, but to me it doesn't do a lot. It is said to give great coverage to your face when for me, it doesn't do that. I find the sponge very awkward to use and for the price I paid I am disappointed.
Sleek Make-Up Creme To Powder Blush In 'French Rose' / £5.99 - Sleek do some beautiful blushes and they have some lovely blush palettes. Their powder products are really great. So I would definitely recommend checking out their creme to powder blushes.
NYX High Definition Blusher In 'Rose Gold' / £5.50 - I love this blusher, it is bloody gorgeous as are all the other colours they have. But I had to pick up Rose Gold because I was interested in what it would look like on my face. It blends in so well and I think this could be the perfect blusher for Autumn.
NYX Micro Brow Pencil In 'Chocolate' / £7.00 - I usually go for Soap & Glory's Brow Archery and this NYX one is a good dupe for that especially at £7! It blends in so well and it looks natural which I like my brows to look like anyway.
Barry M Nail Polish Limited Edition 'Golden Sands' & 'Beach Keen' - How beautiful are these? I am in love with these colours. Boots are seeing these limited time only so If you want to pick them up, I suggest you do. I painted my nails last night using Golden Sands and I am loving how gorgeous it looks. Also Barry M Nails are just the best!
Have you tried out any of these products? & Do you like the look of any of them?

I did quite a bit of shopping a couple of days ago and picked up some lovely bits, but here are my favourite ones! Starting with Primark and they have a great collection of tops for this Summer. I splurged so much but one of my favourite items that I did pick up is this lovely high neck vest top that was £3 - £5. This kind of tops come in handy when you just want to wear a casual look. Also the words 'think happy thoughts' just instantly made me think of Peter Pan! I did get in a couple of sizes up because it is very cropped, so if you don't feel comfortable showing off a bit of your bod then definitely go up a size. Although, why would you, all body types are amazing!
Onto Forever 21 where I hadn't shopped for so long but as soon as I saw the shop windows, I was driven inside. Made my way to the accessories where there are always lovely bits and pieces. I did treat myself to two bralettes which you can see here and here. One of the things I randomly picked up was a rose gold eyelash curler which isn't sadly online. But I love rose gold things so I just had to get these, they were just only £2! Near the make-up section I picked up a cute make-up bag with the words 'i like pretty things' which is very true.
I visited my favourite shop called Tiger which is just amazing for home decor and bits + pieces. I picked up these cute ear plugs which have cute little ice cream cones. They were £3 and they work perfectly. I tend to not take out my rose gold happy plugs so these were perfect to have in my handbag for train trips.
Lastly I had my usual trip to boots but only to pick up a new nail polish by Essie in the colour 'sunshine state of mind', a beautiful red-orange colour perfect for the Summer. I have worn it too much already and have got so many compliments at work.

I enjoy painting my nails but sometimes I just simply cannot be bothered with all the messing around and the huge wait between layers. Having naturally quite strong and long nails myself I very rarely wear false nails. Elegant Touch offer a wide range of false nails, I love the Express Trend collection where they take inspiration from the runway and current trends. I hate overly false looking nails and the designs are right up my street it almost hurts that I know I will never be able to recreate this on my own natural nails. As these have round tips, I do have to file them down to that natural look which only takes 10 minutes. You only need a small layer of glue on your nail and then you just place down the nail which will stick in 4 seconds. They say that they last for around 10 days which is true.
Overall I think that false nails with designs on them are a great alternative to doing it yourself or for those of you that fear nail art in the first place. Elegant Touch offer so many designs at a very affordable price of only £7.95, and can be picked up in most Boots stores so you have no excuse not to embrace nail art this A/W!

The weather has took it's turn and it's suddenly starting to feel like Autumn. Starbucks have always been selling their new Autumn themed coffee cups which I just makes me 100% happy. I have always been a cold weather type of person, so I have always been into A/W. Recently I have been putting together my Autumn wardrobe and make-up and here I am today to tell you why I love this season so much.
I love...Vampy Lips!
This season is the perfect time to crack out those lipsticks, although some girls tend to wear dark lipsticks all year around, I just think that A/W is the right time to start looking badass rockin' a deep berry lip. I have already been wearing my dark lipsticks and the compliments that I get make me so happy. I rarely get compliments when I wear coral lipsticks in the Summer because I think they're not so appealing. I have been wearing MAC's "Plumful", Rimmel's 107 and Topshops "Beguild". And you also have to take care of those dry lips especially in the cold seasons so I always have my trusty lip balms around, I especially love this one that I picked up from H&M sometime last year which smells like Vanilla and Apples.
I love...Bronze Shadows!
I have been loving blending in different colours on my eye lids recently. Going for a pink and a brown makes your eyelids look Autumn straight away! Putting just that bit of bronze underneath your water line makes your eyes pop out even when you aren't wearing that berry lip which I tend to do anyway. It always looks classy when you put that big scarf on.
I love...Layers!
Big jumpers, big scarves and coats put me in my happy place. I think I spend most of my time shopping for that perfect big jumper and looking for that perfect coat especially on ASOS as they always have the best deals. I recently wrapped my big scarf around me as It was so cold outside and I was such a happy girl. Why do scarves make me so happy?
I love...Accessories & Footwear!
Ah, how I love Autumn accessories, for example jewellery and shoes! Rose gold jewellery is perfect for Autumn especially when you have that dark red nail polish on those nails it just completes a boring outfit, especially if your wearing a jumper and leggings. Boots are finally back and I have been loving wearing my new Select ankle boots with a pair of tights. They are the most easiest shoes to style, although I will probably still wear my white converse now and then.
I love...Coffee, Coffee & More Coffee!
Coffee is just my obsession. I do love Summer as you can have iced coffee which is my favourite thing but there's something special about just wrapping yourself up in your fluffy blanket and drinking a nice hot cup of coffee on a cold evening. Nothing can really beat that.
Do you also love Autumn or are you sad that Summer has gone?

From L-R
Floral Print Top - TU Sainsburys // High Neck Floral Dress - TU Sainsburys // Deer Print Top - TU Sainsburys // Lace Up Flats - Topshop // NO7 Airbrush Foundation - Boots // Liz Earle Serum - Boots // Barry M Sunset Nail Polish - Boots // Snow White Print PJs - Topshop
I was recently in Sainsburys just doing a bit of shopping and I came across their TU clothing range, so I had a little nose around. I found 3 items that I really liked so I decided to add them in this months paylist wishlist. The first item I remember spotting was this high neck floral dress which I really do like. I have a dress in this style already and I enjoy styling it with tights and ankle boots. But I especially love the floral print on this as it is perfect for A/W. Soon after I spotted this deer print top which is right up my street as it is so so cute! Shoe wise I have been eyeing up these leopard print lace up flats from Topshop. I did actually try them on and I adored them but now I just want them in my shoe collection. Of course I had to add some make-up and skincare. Starting with a new foundation from Boots NO7 collection which is called "Airbrush Away". I have heard many good things about this foundation so I cannot wait to try it. Next is something a little pricey but Liz Earle has always been a big hit for me. I have only ever used one serum before adding my moisturiser and it worked great on making my skin look amazing. That was until my aunt who is a big Liz Earle lover told me about this serum and now I just want to give it a try. Barry M have a new collection out called "Sunset" which gives your nails a nice glossy finish. Finishing off with something that I am most likely going to buy which is a Snow White PJ Tee. I love my Disney PJs so this would be fab in my collection.
Are you interested in any of these items?

I had been wanting to give this a try for so long but always put myself off from buying it and I don't know why. But when I was making an order on Feel Unique.com I came across it on those "we suggest" pages and I just clicked into my basket now. I have tried it for a couple of times now and I got to say that I can see what the hype is all about. As instructed I applied one thick coat over my coloured polish and was astounded by the high shine finish on my nails. I couldn't stop staring at them! Once they were fully dry which didn't take so long at all, the surface of the nail feels incredibly smooth. I was excited to see how they would look the second day as they do tend to chip easily by then, but again incredibly they never did for about 3-4 days. I am very impressed with this purchase and have recommended it to friends who loves their nails as much as I do. It's perfect for when I am at work when I want my nails looking really nice. I will be sad when I run out of this but then I will most likely just order it again!
Have you tried this yourself?
thank you for reading!♥
On Tuesday night I saw that Feel Unique had a sale. I soon went on there and spent let's say over £30 on some goodies that I have wanted to try for ages and just felt like treating myself. I got the box this morning and here I am showing you what I did get. The sale is still on, I'm not sure how long for but you can now get an extra 10& off by using the code SALEBONUS10.
Zoella Soak Opera Bath & Soap Cream - I pretty much saw Zoella aka Zoe Sugg big Youtube Beauty/Vlogger's beauty range plenty of times in Superdrug and online but just never really thought of trying them, that was until I saw many reviews on blogs. I do love my bubble baths and fragrance shower gels so I just had to get this.
Zoella Fizz Bar - I'm pretty much cheating on Lush Cosmetics a bit here as I did buy a bath fizzer. I particularly liked the design on the packaging. I really cannot wait to give this a try and I'm sure I can use it many times I want to as it's quite large.
Bioderma Sensibio H20 Make-Up Removing Micelle Solution 100ml - I know I am a bit late on the beauty wagon with this next product. I have been wanting to see what all the fuss was about with this make-up remover for a long time. I'm currently using one similar which is the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water which is fairly cheaper to buy, but I have wanted to try this French pharmacy gem more. I'll soon find out which is better.
Topshop 5 Years Of Beauty Lips - I decided to pick up a Topshop lipstick randomly after seeing it was part of their 5 years anniversary collection. I went for a dark colour in Beguiled. I love a vampy shade especially for Autumn so I cannot wait to wear it. Also the packaging is rose gold, how can you not love it.
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat - If you are like me someone who loves painting their nails but hate waiting for them to dry, then you must get your hands on this. I remember buying this many months ago but just never re-purchased it until Tuesday night. It really does do what it says. It makes your nails shine and makes them last such a long time. Get it while it is in the sale!
Urban Decay Make-Up Setting Spray 30ml - Another product I have been dying to try is Urban Decays setting spray for make-up. The amount of times I have gone out on date nights or night outs with my friends and my make-up just doesn't last at all. This will come in good handy for when I am going out with make-up on that I want to last through the day.
Let me know if you have tried any of these products as I would love to hear your thoughts!

Before I start I would just like to say that I do realise that the bottles are in the wrong places but that shouldn't bother anybody...just me. #OCDProblems. I bought this lovely set from Fragrance Direct which sell discounted Make Up and they sold this at just £5.99! This set consists of a a 5ml bottle of First Base, a 5ml bottle of Mademoiselle and a 5ml bottle of Good To Go Top Coat. All of the nail polishes apply like a dream, with no streakiness at all. Plus, both the first base and the top coat dry fairly quickly so it reduces the time taken to do manicures, which is always a bonus. However, when I was applying Mademoiselle, it did take around 3 thick coats to make it fully opaque, but this could just be down to how pale the shade is.
After I wore the kit for a little more than a week, there was a few chips, but nothing that you would notice unless you were really staring at your nails. I can definitely see myself buying the first coat and the top coat in the future as I was really impressed by them, they both left my nails feeling so strong and shiny. The Mademoiselle nail polish is definitely a pretty shade once it's fully painted onto your nails. It was such a bargain from £14.99 which is the normal price in Boots and Superdrug. I know that Fragrance Direct have sadly sold out but TK Maxx do also sell this at the same price that I paid for.
