Asos Haul and Review.

So I saw that Asos were having an amazing Christmas sale! Their coats were half price on certain colours so I decided to give it a gander. They have a great selection and I was really happy with the one I chose! 

I was really nervous about ordering online, I have never really been a specific size so I was really unsure of what size to get! But it was perfect I can fit a hoodie underneath and I am toasty warm!

 

I got it in navy, it was half price at 60 pounds. I love the back of it! It is longer than the front and it is a very me coat! I do love it! And again it's so warm!! 

I really recommend buying from Asos, they have great delivery, I ordered over Christmas so it is the worst time to expect a quick delivery but it got here as quick as it could!

Sorry for my stained nails, I had some blue nail polish that makes them yellow :( 

I also bought this ring...I thought it looked nicer on the website. I don't really know what to make of it but they do have some really nice and interesting jewellery. 

I am on a bit of a spree so expect more online shopping stories!

Thanks for reading!

A Week with Instagram.

So I have decided to do a weekly photo share! I don't take enough photos so here we go! 

I got an iPhone 4 at the beginning of the week! I love it so much!

 

Gorgeous Max Benjamin Candle. One of my favourites!

On the way to buy more candles! Loved the sky in this picture!

Here I am! Looking cheesy! :P

I have decided to keep the lights, that I put up for Christmas, around my window <3

I started to rewatch the CTFxC videos to procrastinate! : /

I was in a shop buying lots of stuff!

I love this ring! So cute!

My puppy! I love her!

Chrsitmas Hauling! :)

So I went to town and bought more stuff! Bold me! 

I only went to three places but I did a little bit of damage! 

 I went to Muji and bought candles for my big candle review video coming up, in a previous post you know my views on a certain brand. They were 5.95 each and they smell GORGEOUS!

I then went to Lush:

 

 I bought this Pow Wow Lip Scrub, it has pop rocks in it!! It is amazing and it smells like the green sauce in cheap Irish ice cream :D It was originally 6.75 but I got it for 3.38! Bargain!

 I got another one of these because it smells amazing and it was 50% off! It was originally 8.90 which is ridiculous! I got it for 4.45! 

 This purchase comes with a back story! I asked the girl to cut me a 12 euro piece of Snowcake soap and she got a bit confused! She thought I meant that I wanted an original price of 24 euro discounted to 12 but no I wanted an original price of 12 and the discount price of 6 hahaha!! So esentially moral of the story I got a HUGE chunk of soap worth 31.39 euro! I got it for 15.69. Whoops!

Basically I wont need soap for a very long time! :P

Then I went to Urban Outfitters and there were some pretty good deals on!  I recommend going in! I bought this adorable woodland creatures ring! It has a deer, a fox and a squirrel. I adore these rings! Originally they were 19 euro, a complete rip off! But it was marked down to 9 and then marked down again to 6! Yay!! 

Hope you enjoyed this post!

EDITED: Yankee Candles First Impression and Review!

So I am on a bit of a candle obsession so I wanted to try Yankee.

 So I decided to get three small ones and to be honest, I don't think very much of them.

 So I got Soft Blanket, Chrstmas Tree and Clean Cotton.

Probably my favourite scent is Clean Cotton then Soft Blanket, which I am burning now and then I don't really like Christmas Tree. 

I am very particular about my scents and I think I have come to the conclusion that if you want gorgeous scents you need to pay for it. I will just have to spend 18 euro each time. 

But I will let you know how I get on..

I got this really pretty candle holder for 10.50. It is buy www.Nkuku.com

RIGHT! So I have definetely come to the conclusion that these candles SUCK! Now to be honest I may be a bit of a candle snob but these scents are just blah!

Christmas Tree smells like a toilet duck tablet. That blue hockey puck looking thing.
It is horrible!

And the other two just smell generic and crap!

I hate them! I am going to Muji and other places to get some nice, proper scents.
I will definitely keep you updated on the other purcheses I make. I love candles and I am quite fussy but it seems like there is a load of crap candles out there! But I will find the nice ones! Promise!

So till next time!

Favourite Products of 2011.

Here are the products I have loved and used most in 2011.

 Vera Wang Princess is one of my all time favourites!

 Origins Mega Mushroom Cleanser is Gorgeous! I love it! 

The face cream is lovely makes my skin feel amazing! 

 Inglot eyeshadows in #395, #422, #409, #329.

 The Naked palette is such a good palette that I can create lots of looks with!

Illamasqua's Blending Brush 1 is amazing for all products, it is so soft and has never shed. I really recommend it!!

 YSL's Faux Cils Mascara is my ultimate favourite! I love it so much. 

Inglot's Gel eyeliner in #77 is really good, it does dry out but it is so good!

 This is the best album I have listened to in a long while! I love his voice. 

This series is so good! I love anything Arctic/Antarctic so I just loved this! 

I hope you had a great 2011 and I hope 2012 is amazing! 

Do you have any favourites of 2011?

New Phone!

I got an iPhone 4 today, I love it so much! I have wanted one ever since my friend and I talked of them. I love the square design so when the opportunity arose that I could get one I jumped! 

I went straight to Tesco and bought a FoneWare case and I think it is adorable, I think it looks very well and i will keep you updated on the ware of the case. I might do a review on the three cases that I own for various apple products. The case was 14.99. I also bought FoneWear Screen Guards for 11.99, I thought these were quite expensive but you get three guards, a cleaning cloth and a smoothing card, which I recommend you use it, it does work! They are good quality as well, so they are worth the money.

My phone is essential for emails and general social networking however silly that may be but I enjoy it so yeah! I might also do a favourite apps post along with my review of the cases.

Do you like smartphones? I know quite a few who don't.

Chrismas Sale Haul.

So I went into town to drown my sorrows in the sales, one of my favourite dresses got damaged and so I wanted to replace it but alas it is sold out everywhere! I went to HMV because I love movies, they are one thing that I would watch constantly I would eat to them, workout to them, sleep to them. I am a tad obsessed. So since there was a sale I jumped on all of the movies that are generally too expensive at normal price.

I got Wimbledon (5.99): I love Paul Bettany, I loved him in Knights Tale with Heath Ledger. I love him voice it's just perfectly theatrical. I then got Get Him to the Greek (3.99): I love Jonah Hill and Russel  Brand. Both very funny. I got Scott Pilgrim (3.99): I love the gaming edits throughout. 500 Days of Summer (3.99): I love Jason Gordon-Levitt, nuff said! And of course Ghostbusters (2.99)! :D I love this movie!

   

I went to Brown Thomas and wanted to get a posh candle there is something very decadent of a fancy candle (18), I got the Lavender scent and it's gorgeous!

 

 I then went to Lush and went straight to the sales table. I picked up some great products that I wouldn't normally buy.

 I picked up one of their hair treatments, I use quite a bit of heat on my hair so I want it to have

good nourishment. I like this, the smell can get a little overpowering but it is nice and spicy.  

  I love body butters, they are a nice exfoliater  and they smell so rich and creamy. I got two, I wish I got four! Such good value!

 I got this product because I needed a spot treatment and I heard this was good. I am excited to give it a go and review it properly.

 And then there is the soap! I loved Snowcake last year but it was a little drying but this year I have found it to be more moisturising.

Sandstone is being discontunued so I wanted to pick up some more. I love it's citrus-y scent and it smells so clean without being like toilet cleaner. I also love the sand exfoliating top it has!

So that's it for now! I hope you liked reading this.

Thanks

New Year.

Ok so I know that everyone makes promises to themselves and they don't stick but I think this year will be different. I have been thinking of my life at the moment (Oh I know..so serious) and the thought of new things terrify me but I am going to try and jump in. There is a possibility of a job coming up and even if I don't get it I still can get some sort of sense of what is required from me, it will be terrifying but at least it would get me out of the house and maybe some extra cash. I will also be doing no fizzys all year. I used to have a huge slimline tonic water obsession and I used to drink a load of it a day. It's not healthy for you and I am not getting the right amount of water each day, so I will have no fizzy drinks/sugary drinks for the year and yes this does include Christmas, I can do this! I am going to cut down of juice and flavoured waters and just drink water. I would love a water cooler in my room but I don't think that is very attainable. To be honest I think this is going to be an achievable goal. Also more activity on this blog and on my Youtube. I have slacked off way too much! I apologize.


Now on to the little stuff. I will be being cleaner, now this means my room shall not turn into that bomb heap it so oft does and I shall also take charge of my bathroom, my clothes, my skin etc. I am generally not good at keeping things neat but I need to in order to get a hold on college and various other aspects of my life because I may be getting the extra pressure of a job. I will keep a diary, college assignments, work schedule and anything else that fills my day. I am going to be healthier, now I am a sweet junkie but I will have to limit myself each day. Only a small amount of unhealthy food a day and I have to eat three meals a day, everything else, as in a snack, will be water. Now this will probably be hard but I want to change, big time. I am also going to be able to drive by the end of the year. My first provisional is up this year so I want to get it. I also want to get it first time. Simple right? Lets hope so.

I would also like to try get out of the house once a day, either play with my dog outside or go for a small walk but I want fresh air once a day. I also want to try do a small amount of yoga or exercise each day. Also trying new things is also a big goal for me. Also more traveling! I need traveling!

So yes..it is a fairly long list of things but I hope that I can keep it up. It's the small things I am working on that will help me with the big things.


I hope you had an amazing Christmas and New Year.

Will write soon!
