I was quite proud of myself last month as I didn't spend most of my money. But now we're in February, I am already lusting over a couple of things which I am going to share with you.
1. Yankee Candle Large Jar In Black Cherry, Amazon £16.00 - Now my festive candle has gone out I now need a brand new one and I love this one from Yankee Candle. If you have not smelt this one yet, then I suggest you go out and find it.
2. Nars Satin Lip Pencil In Palais Royal, Feel Unique £20.00 - Although Winter will be going fairly soon I will still be wearing my berry lips and I love this shade by Nars.
3. TALL Rip Skinny Jeans, Topshop £45.00 - I own many ripped skinny jeans already but I love the style of these ones from Topshop's TALL collection.
4. TALL Animal Print A-Line Skirt, Topshop £36.00 - I am so happy that animal print is now back on the high street. This skirt is my current favourite from Topshop.
5. Pandora Princess Tiara Ring, Pandora £40.00 - I have been wanting this ring for a long time and I think it's time that I add it to my collection!
6. Enchanted Forest Colouring Book, Amazon £4.99 - All these adult colouring books are so darn cute especially this one which I really want to try out. Amazon sell so many of them!
7. MAC Ellie Goulding Collection Lipstick In "Without Your Love", MAC £17.00 - Ellie Gouldings collection at MAC is so gorg that I just want everything from it, but this nude lipstick has caught my eye.
8. Heel Ankle Boots, New Look £24.99 - I love these boots from New Look, they would be perfect for Spring time with a dress. At such a great price aswell.

I received this palette in the post this morning and I am so excited to show you all it. I won this beautiful palette on a twitter giveaway and was very delighted when I was told that I had won it. I had spent some time finding an affordable highlighter so I didn't have to spend £32 on Jaclyn Hill's shimmering highlighter in "Champagne Pop" which is being raved about so much at the moment. But here I am with an affordable one from Sleek Make-Up. One of the things that has made me love this palette so much is the fabulous gold packaging. Sleek are well known for their black packaging, so this beautiful gold most likely stands out amongst the other products. It has a decent mirror inside so it is great if you are travelling about and want to carry it with you. Look at those beautiful shades! (From L-R | Ecliptic, Hemisphere, Subsolar & Equinox.) I really can't fault the formula of the shades, every shade is super soft, beautifully pigmented and gives you an incredible glow. Although it does come with a brush I haven't yet used it because it isn't the best brush like most of the ones you do get in a palette.
Ecliptic - Is a cream highlighter so I will be applying this with my fingers to the top of my cheekbones, brow bone and the tip of my nose to give that lifted look.
Hemisphere - This is a beautiful pink shade, I will probably use this as an eyeshadow if I want to venture. But it will look gorgeous on any cheeks.
Subsolar - Now this shade I will probably not use very much as it is yellow. Yellow shades do not match my skin tone very well.
Equinox - When I first saw this colour I was a little worried that It wouldn't match my pale skin but it surprisingly is alright.
Overall I recommend this palette if you are looking for an affordable one with a lovely packaging!

It's not surprising that I rate this bubble bar the most gorgeous one that Lush are selling right now. When I discovered that It was coming out with the Valentines range, I was very excited to get my hands on it and try it out. What is surprising about this product is that it smells nothing like you would imagine it would. The design invites you into a sweet offering. Instead, this bubble bar has a very light and rather gentle lavender aroma.
It is very easy to use. It's very soft to touch and crumbles with ease so just be careful that you have somewhere to store the crumbled pieces until you need them. But I decided to run it under the tap which didn't break off a lot anyway. After running it under the running tap, the tub filled with wonderfully soft and fragrant bubbles - although again, the lavender was strong enough to be appreciated but gentle enough that it wasn't overpowering. Even though this does not send your bath water in crazy colours, this bubble bar does wonders at calming your body and mind offering you a really relaxing, soothing bathing experience. I used this before settling to bed and I really loved how clean and comforted I felt after I exited the bath. I know some Lush lovers who love their baths to be all bright colours in their tub, but for me I never cared about that at all with this product. I appreciate that soft and refreshed that I felt after I had used it in my bath.

I am loving Instagram a lot more recently so I have been taking a few snaps of a few things that have happened this week. So here I am to share with you what I have been up to! I love reading Instagram update posts as I always find new accounts to follow, let me know your user below and I will check out your account.
2. On Saturday night me and my boyfriend went to a masquerade ball hosted at his student union at his University. We had been looking forward to this night for weeks. We got our masks from Ebay for ridiculously cheap prices so we were ready for the party. Lawson were the main band performing for the ball so it was pretty good. I had heard of their music before so I was excited. It was a great night and I can finally tick it off my bucket list as I had always wanted to go to a masquerade ball.
3. Of course I posted a snap of my Lush haul like most Instagramers do. I did write a full post of what I did buy which you can read here.
4. Basically with this snap, I was very hungry and I wanted coffee, so I went to Costa Coffee and Subway. I tried Subways new bacon and steak 6 inch, wowser it was bloomin' lovely. Then I just had my regular costa caramel cappuccino.
5. I had a delivery and it was these happy plugs earphones from Amazon. I have needed new earphones for SO SO LONG. Like, just imagine listening to music and just having one of the ear puds working...it ruined my days for many months. Until I came across these, rose gold...ROSE GOLD...earphones. I added them to my basket straight away. They match my rose gold coin purse and bag nicely. They are really good quality aswell, you can have a good read about them here.
6. Just a snap of what you expect when you go into Lush. The prettiness just made me take a photo. Enough said about that.
7. The Benefit mini products are my favourite thing at the moment. They are tempting me to buy the full versions which I know is a lot of money...but it's Benefit make-up!
8. Lastly is a snap of Dartmouth, Devon where I will be going this Sunday for a week. I am so so excited so expect a lot of snaps when I am down there.
So that is my week in snapshots, I hope you had a lovely week! Let me know below what your plans are for this week.

Hello all, here I am again with one of my popular posts, a Lush haul. I went on two separate Lush sprees. One of the stores didn't have my personal favourites but had two newbies. But I went to another store yesterday and I finally got my favourites that I continue to buy every time. You'll have probably seen me brag about a few of these bath treats but if not then do carry on reading.
Twilight Bath Bomb / £3.50 Each - A first personal favourite of mine. I absolutely love this bath bomb so much. It is designed to help you sleep so it's filled with lavender which is soothing, mind clearing and calming among other ingredients. It also looks so nice when it explodes into the water.
Unicorn Horn Bubble Bar / £4.25 Each - Now look at this beauty, just take it all in. It is a Unicorn Horn! I remember buying this a few months back but it was a little bit bigger and it had small stars inside of it. This is perfect for those gloomy dull days that we are currently having here in the UK with his dreamy smell and the magic it creates in the bath.
The Comforter Bubble Bar / £4.95 Each - Ah the reliable Comforter Bubble Bar. I just love this product and how many baths you can get out of it. Also, if you love a pink bath like myself then this does just that. It turns into a gorgeous pink shade and smells beautiful. I still haven't picked up the shower gel version and it really bugs me every time I miss it. Maybe next time...
Lover Lamp Bath Bomb / £3.95 Each - A newbie to the Valentines crew is this bath bomb. This is super cute and it smells like Terry's white chocolate orange with a bit of vanilla. One of the lovely girls in the shop said that when the love hearts come out of the ball, you can rub them all over your skin as they contain cocoa butter. I cannot wait to use this.
Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb / £3.50 Each - I always buy this bath bomb without a fail. I love it so much. You can see a full review on it here. I need to buy at least many more of these when I do go into Lush because once I have used one I am so unhappy.

On Saturday I decided to head over to Boots as I had vouchers through the post to use. I didn't really have a list of what I wanted to try like I normally do but I did find some products that I was excited to see so I did buy them. And I did get a lot of points for them! If you are looking into going into Boots soon then carry on reading.
Soap And Glory "No Clogs Allowed" Detox Face Mask - £11.50 - I was recommended this by a lovely sales assistant in Boots. She said it had worked wonders for her skin and she even said that she had people compliment her on how glowing her skin was. I instantly put it in my basket. I have never used Soap and Glory's skin care products before so I am very excited about trying this one out.
Dove Pomegranate Go Fresh Deodorant - £2.99 - I am currently using the roll on version of this so I had to buy the spray. I love the smell so much and Dove has always been my favourite brand for deodorants as they last longer throughout the day.
Bioderma Sensibio H20 - £10.50 - What can I say I love this product so much! I bought the travel version just to try a couple of months ago and I loved it. It removes my make up in a flash and it's so gentle on my skin. Just wish it wasn't so expensive!
Soap And Glory "Archery" 2-In-1 Brow Filling Pencil & Brush - £8.00 - I tried this for the first time yesterday and wow it's so good. It's great value for money and comes with a brush attached. The pencil part is nothing like the original archery pencil it's much thinner and softer but not too soft it breaks. It creates fine strokes which make your brows look so natural.
Maybelline Push Up Drama Mascara - £5.99 - I used this mascara yesterday and I do like it. It really lengthens my lashes but it can be wet and clumpy if you use too much. It really helped when I curled my lashes before applying this.
When I was walking around the beauty section I came across a stand near to where the Benefit counter was which had mini Benefit products. The deal was that you buy 4 of them for £15. So I went for...
I am excited to try out all these products and there will be reviews very soon on each of them. So make sure you follow me on bloglovin'

Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream, £70 - I never really had any of the other Marc Jacobs perfumes until my birthday in November when I opened up this beauty. I think everybody has swooned over the bottle, it is so pretty! I feel like this is such a grown up version of the original Daisy, it's very fruity - with grapefruit, blackberry and pear. I really like it, I think it's beautiful both alone and layered up with something less fruity. Even if you aren't a fan of Daisy, I think you would probably adore this.
Rihanna Rogue Love, £23 - I have been reaching for this one every single day. I opened it on Christmas day and I was so happy. If I were to summarize the scent I'd say it's very sexy and sensual. It's definitely a great evening scent as it's quite strong and it has a perfect mix of sweet and musky notes. It's definitely one worth sniffing - I love it!
Cheryl Stormflower, £40 - The first thing I love about this is the bottle. The delicate yet exotic flower design in gold and it's not tacky looking. This one is an ideal day time fragrance. It's mostly fruity, with notes of mandarin and nectarine, without being too orange-y.
Do you like any of these scents?

I don't even have my own place yet and I am already thinking about what my own office space will look like in my future home! Now that I am recently getting into blogging again I would love to have that space where I can have the perfect lighting and everything around me that I need. Pinterest again is a hero as I have found so many ideas that I love. I really cannot wait for the day I get to pick the perfect furniture that I want and how to decorate the walls and floors...I'm growing up too fast!
If you use Pinterest, let me know so I can follow you!

- Unani Dermo Defense Face Mask / I was excited when I saw a face mask was included! As I get really oily and a blemished skin my face needs a special treatment. And I tend to use face masks to help that. It says to apply it once a week evenly over a cleansed face. So this will be included in my skin care routine.
- Madara Cellular Repair Serum / I had never used a repair serum before so I don't know much about them. But I am willing to give this one a try as it is said to boost hydration into your skin.
- Teeez Cosmetics Oasis Dem Lipstick / I loved the look of this lipstick when I saw it. I had never heard of this brand before so I'm excited to see what this lipstick is like. It is said to keep lips nourished for the wintery months ahead. It has coconut oil in it to keep your lips hydrated, a bit like a lip balm. I love the colour aswell.
- GLOSSY Box Eyeshadow In Glossy Mauve / GLOSSY have kindly added one of their own products which is a satin eyeshadow. I cannot wait to wear this!
- Maria Nila Luminous Color Hair Masque / I have always wanted to use a hair masque! I cannot wait to try this one out. It smells incredible! It is said to give you the glossiest locks ever.
