The New Love of my Life!

So I think I must be one of the only girls in this country who has never owned their own pair of hair straighteners. For years and years I have begged, borrowed and stolen from anyone who would let me. Thankfully, I'm not one to straighten my hair often because it is naturally curly and I'm lazy so I do tend to just leave it, however recently I discovered a magic way to make my hair a bit curly and completely frizz free, but alas it required a sacred pair of straighteners.

My Mum clearly read my mind and treated me to these little beauties for Christmas.

Top 5- Boots Beauty Advent Calendar

So last Christmas (God it feels weird saying that!) I thought it was high time I invested in a beauty advent calendar. About 5 years later than everyone else I know, but I got there in the end! I went for the Boots one (simply because it was the cheapest) and was actually pretty happy with all the products I got.

But it would be tedious of me to blog about each individual product, so I've just selected a top 5 for you guys to ponder.

Hello 2014!

With it being the New Year and all, I'm feeling a bit reflective; I thought I would just do a quick round up of 2013 as a little farewell as we sail into the unknown waters of 2014.

*May contain a few cheesy cliche's.*

Merry Christmas!

Hi everybody!

Yes. I have been the most dire blogger that ever there was recently, sorry about that! Everything just got a little bit mad: I had exams, got a new job and have indulged in many a festive outing. But I refuse to let Christmas Eve go by without wishing you guys the merriest of all Christmases!

A few little updates!

Free Fashion Magazine!

Hi everyone!

Very brief post today. I got an email the other day about a new fashion magazine called Clique.

I was so excited when I read this! The idea is to create a free print magazine which is delivered to your door every month. The magazine works hand in hand with an app to make it the worlds first shoppable magazine. I don't know about you but I love having the actual physical magazine to flick through, but the use of the app is great and works well with the magazine, not against it. And did I mention it's free?

10 Stocking Fillers Under £10 for Him!

As promised, to follow on from my last gift guide (which can be found here) and it's the turn of the boys! As before, all direct links have been added where possible, let me know what you think!

10 Stocking Fillers under £10 for Her!

I did somewhat of a gift guide a few weeks ago for presents under £30 which were in the sales or had a special discount (you can see that here). However, some of them may well have expired now and I thought I would do a stocking fillers one this time! All items are under £10 at full price and I've put links where possible directly to the product if you want to buy it now.

Today it's for the ladies but I will do one for guys as well. Perfect for Christmas on a pretty tight budget!

Loving.... L'oréal Skincare

Hello my pretties, sorry for my lack of posting recently, if you follow me on Twitter or Facebook then you might know everything has been a little crazy recently and all my uni work has suddenly come at once and I'm getting ready to start a new job as well soon, so many apologies for forgetting about my blog for a couple of weeks!

Anyway, so today I am writing a little review on L'oréal (again, I know, they're just great at the moment!), but this time I'm going to review a few of my favourite skincare products.

First up is the 'Skin Perfection Purifying Cleansing Wipes'. To my knowledge, there are a couple of different types, but as you can see these are the 'Refresh and Rebalance' ones.

Remember Remember the 5th of Novemer...

Happy Bonfire Night!

This is one of my favourite days of the year! Autumn is in full swing and the time has come to don your hats, gloves, scarves and coats, grab a burger, a hot chocolate and a sparkler, huddle together to watch fireworks and bonfires!

L'oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil- Review!

I've never really been one for hair oil. I didn't really understand why you would put oil in your hair- surely that would make your hair greasy? But, after the surprise summer we had (I know, seems like a distant memory now!) my hair became much drier than usual. I have naturally very curly hair, so my hair is often dry and with the addition of the sun, I think it's safe to say my hair was as silky and nourished as straw.

I searched on many a beauty blog for some advice and it seemed the most common response was to get myself a hair oil, and so I finally began my quest to find the perfect one. I tried a couple out, but, after seeing it on offer in Superdrug, I picked up the L'oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil.
