Great Friend: Great Lash

I have been in need of a new mascara for about two months, and more recently the ones I have been trying just are not doing what I need them to, so much so I have been debating throwing in mascara for the winter months and investing in getting a half set of 3D lashes done, to stop with the hassle! (I'm still pondering this for my trip to nyc, in January).

But, despite my lash drama I was in need of a quick and cheap fix to tie me over, and there it was staring back at me , my old love., Maybelline Great Lash Mascara. I first bought this after I saw it about 6 years ago in my aunties makeup bag, for me this was the holy grail of all the best product in the high street of which I could afford with pocket money. 

It's such a classic product, the brush I find is a perfect size for bottom and top lashes, it's lengthens, adds volume, and is the blackest black you can find. What more could you want. Sometimes the oldies are just what you need, can r go wrong with a classic can you.  

Lush Lip Scrub in Bubblegum: Review

The other day I found myself wondering past a Lush store, and as most of us do, I could not help but go in and have a little look around. For  a long time I have liked their lip scrubs, this is the first one I've owned, I have always used friends. And there it was in front of me, the Bubblegum lip scrub, I don't mind the other flavours but this was the only one I was willing to pay money for.

At £5, there is no going wrong with this product. Like most Lush products, it is freshly made, along with being made with good wholesome ingredients. It is literally sugar, colouring and some bubblegum flavour.

I suffer from really bad dry and chapped lips as soon as the temperature drops. I have tried many a lip balm, but they have never really sorted out that horrible feeling, and look, of dried chapped lips. This does the trick like magic, a little bit of the scrub rubbed well over my lips takes off all the dead and chapped skin and leaves them soft, smooth and feeling great. Sometimes, I'll just use the scrub and leave them O'Natural, or I'll use my Kheil's Lip Balm #1 in Mango (£9.50).

Also just a little side note, the scrubs come in different flavours and scents, and they currently have Christmas edition out called 'Santa'.

Winter Wardrobe Wish List

As we are welcoming in November, so are we welcoming the cold weather (at least here in the UK!). Since all the Winter clothing catalogues are coming through my letter box, along with shop windows looking perfectly Christmassy along with getting you all excited for this winter and of course Christmas.

So here are my picks for my 'Winter Wardrobe Wish List', all the prices and links to the products will be listed, some may only be available in the UK however.

ZARA CHECKED SOFT SCARF (£19.99)
this was inspired by Lily Pebbles, I've seen it in the store and i can say you get so much material for your money, as well as the quality of it, so soft. 

H&M BLACK JERSEY DRESS (£14.99)

despite the cold we girls still love to rock a LBD, regardless of the weather. This is such a clever little dress from h&m the long arms will help to keep you a little bit warmer during those cold nights out!

H&M BLACK LEATHER BOOTS (£69.99)

these are a slight cheat as I bought these a few weeks back, but I think a black heeled boot are a staple for any girls winter wardrobe!

OASIS ELLE FAUX FUR LINED PARKER (£88.00) 

everyone needs a good coat for winter, and what better than a classic Parker
