Well Done Shopping Trip

Recently I passed my final exam completing the first stage of becoming a chartered accountant. Obviously this meant we had to celebrate, and some ‘well done me’ prezzies were in order. My mum got me some lovely Yankee Candle goodies, and me and Rob decided we would get the train to Liverpool for a bit of shopping, a nice Italian and some drinks. I don’t think he realised quite how much shopping that would consist of, when he suggested it, but we managed to last the whole day and didn’t end up on separate trains home. I got two jumpers from Primark, lots of Christmas decoration, too many Lush Christmas bath bombs and also a couple of Beauty goodies that I thought I would share with you.

Autumn 15 Yankee Candles

It is now well and truly Autumn, there is no denying it, it’s time to face the fact that summer is over, Christmas is right around the corner and things are about to get really cold and wet, but there is no need to be bikini ready anymore, so have a flapjack, put on some fluffy socks and an over sized jumper, and lets embrace the berry lip and golden eyeshadow season together! I for one have been getting in to the Autumn spirit for a while now and now that it is now more socially acceptable I am going to start sharing some of my autumnal blog posts (Yayyyy!), starting with this one. As soon as September hit I started my Autumn candle hunt and two weeks ago I took the plunge and went to my local garden centre to pick up some Yankee Candles. Each season I pick up my desired votives and whichever one is my favourite seasonal scent, I buy it in a large jar so I can burn it until my heart’s content (Summer’s was Black Coconut if you’re interested). So here’s what I bought for Autumn 2015!

September 15 Favourites

It’s that monthly favourites time again! Another month over and another month closer to Christmas (sorry!!), after saying goodbye to September we can now welcome October, and undoubtedly welcome Autumn, woooo! (cue the countless Autumnal blog posts). September was a stressful month for me, filled with revision, exams, car break downs, buying a new car, having my new car hit by a runaway driver, hospital visits and finishing off the month with the all clear from my doctors and passing my exams! But even after ending on a high my usual makeup and skin care routine took a bit of a hit, this month my skin has been awful so there are a couple of skin care favourites and as I have worn hardly any makeup due to hibernating to study most of the month, there are only a couple of faves for when I have reached for the war paint!

September 15 Glossybox

September’s Glossybox was the Style Edition the theme seems to be grey and pink which is completely fine with me. The box contained 5 full sized products, FIVE!! I was so excited when I heard that, I was really looking forward to seeing what would be hidden away inside my box and Glossybox did not disappoint!

Mini Lush Haul Sep 15

I went to Lush last week and picked up a couple of goodies for my sister-in-law and so obviously had to get some stuff for myself, I know I will have to go back in a few days due to the release of all the Christmas Lush products, but you can never have too much Lush, right?! I picked my sister-in-law up a Tisty Tosty Bath Bomb (£3.35), this is heart shaped and smelt of roses and was filled with rose petals that float around your bath, floral isn’t really my thing but perfect for her. But here’s what I came home with for me..

Glove Your Body Tanning Mitt

A little while ago I was sent a tanning mitt and an exfoliating mitt from Glove Your Body, I originally saw them on twitter, their account is here if you want to check it out. They are sold in Euros, but they are distributed worldwide. You can buy the mitts separately or together for €24.99. So here is what I thought!

September 15 Birchbox

So I finally gave in and signed up to Birchbox, after a full year of receiving Glossybox I thought I would sink my teeth in to a different Beauty box. After shipping, both boxes work out around the same price, so I assumed they would be extremely similar.
