Kirstie's Christmas Wishlist 2015

I love to be organised and what better than a gorgeous Kate Spade diary to keep me and my plans in check for the year ahead!

My favourite scent right now and my bottle is on it's last legs... I'm too scared to use it at the moment! This gift set is gorgeous, I love the mini bottle that comes with it, perfect for my handbag.

Beauty & The Beast Pyjamas
My favourite Disney movie + my favourite type of clothing = win win.

Michelle Visage - The Diva Rules
I have loved Michelle since first seeing her on RPDR. I listen to her and Ru's podcasts regularly and it literally feels like therapy. Listening to her thoughts and advice is just addictive, this woman is so wise and has such an amazing and confident attitude, I cannot wait to read this.

Kate Spade Cedar Street Racing Stripe Lacey Wallet
I've been needing a new purse for months now, I love my Ted Baker beauty but it is slowly falling apart from being over-loved so I have to say new one is top of my Christmas list! I LOVE Kate Spade purses, big heart eyes, shame about the price tag....

Disney Genie Mug
One of the greatest Disney characters ever? I think so. I love this mug, so cool and unique, plus a lovely little nod at the legend Robin Williams. Dying to get this before it goes out of stock again.

Letter K Cushion
I know I've shared this on here before but I just love it.... and it's such a bargain! The whole cushion range from ASDA is amazing, their Christmas picks are so, so cute.

Rosie For Autograph Luxury Dressing Gown
I've looked at these longingly for months and months now, they just look so comfortable and soft. I mean if it's good enough for Rosie, then it's good enough for me. I like the idea of black.... less chance of staining it with make-up right? 

theBalm The Manizer Sisters Trio
The Mary-Lou Manizer highlighter from theBalm is my FAVOURITE so when I saw this trio set I squealed with excitement! All 3 Manizer sisters in one easy palette, it's a must.

MAC Lady Danger Lipstick
This is one of those MAC lipsticks that I've never owned but it's always been on the wishlist. Such a classic red, I can't tell you how many times I've complimented someone on their lipstick and it's been this shade, it's definitely needed in my collection.
Shop the wishlist :

Current Beauty Favourites

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Hand Gel
Anti-bac queen that I am, this hasn't left my side since purchasing it a couple of weks ago! I'm obsessed with the scent so it's a win-win! (Review here)

Estee Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge
Everyone wants their own scent right? A perfume that it theirs and that everyone recognises them by. This is mine. I just LOVE this perfume and the fact I only have a few squirts left makes me extremely unhappy! Not sure how or when I'm going to be able to afford more but I'm going to have to!

Boots Coconut & Almond Intensive Hair Mask
I had totally forgotten that this existed until I was having a huge clearout recently and stumbled across it at the back of a drawer. I don't actually think this is even still available but it is such good stuff! It was only £1.99 a pot (which lasts forever) this stuff makes my hair feel so soft and look so shiny, I've been having alot of trouble with my hair over the past month and this has slowly helped to turn it around - praying they decide to bring it back out! 

Montagne Jeunesse Hot Spring Sauna Face Mask
The greatest beauty bargains out there. These £1 sachets are my favourite beauty secret and this one has got to be one of my favourites. I have been using this one once a week for the last few weeks and I have to say it works better than all the other expensive masks I've ever tried! It's self-heating AND has exfoliating beads in it too - giving my face a complete overhaul deep down - I love it. 

Freedom Pro Highlighter in Ambient 
What's that? A new brand? Why yes it is! Sister brand to the ever so popular Make-Up Revolution I'll have you know! I think everyone is aware of the fact that I am a huge highlighter lover. Anything that can give my skin a little glow is a winner in my eyes and this shade is blooming well lovely. For only £3 you really can't go wrong with this soft pink powder, the pigmentation is gorgeous, I'm so pleased with it.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer 
Last but not least we have a concealer. A concealer that actually I never thought I would buy. I normally use things like Seveteen's Phwoarrr Paint or Rimmel's Lasting Finish concealer, a thick paint like cream which is seriously heavy duty - amazing for bags.... not so great for creasing. 
So.... I decided to try something a little lighter. This stuff is really nice, it has a decent enough coverage and feels so much lighter and less cloggy than the others, giving my undereyes a slight brightness that they are seriously lacking, perfect for early winter mornings.

What are you favourite beauty bits at the moment?

I'm Loving... #22

Total Divas
Being a reality TV show whore I cannot believe I haven't started watching this sooner - I am obsessed. Like crazy obsessed! This show is awesome - I am currently watching season 1 and season 4 at the same time and I'm sure it won't be long until I'm totally caught up! I LOVE the Bella Twins - girl crush overload!

Holly Madison - Down The Rabbit Hole
I've mentioned this a few times over the last few weeks. I was a huge fan of Girls Next Door and a big fan of Holly - I met her in Vegas and she was lovely! As soon as this book was announced I was counting down the days until I could get my mitts on it! It is soooo interesting, you really do see the other side of Playboy and the famous mansion! I haven't finished it yet, purely because I don't want it to end so I'm making it last for a little while longer! If you want to know all the inside goss I suggest you go grab this while you can! I got my hardback cover from Amazon :)

Estee Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge Perfume
You may have seen my post yesterday about this new perfume in my life! New signature scent - I'm in love! (Review here!)

L'oreal Volume Million Lashes Feline Mascara
Ooooo something else I've done a review on recently! I have used this every single day since buying it - it is brilliant for my short stumpy lashes and used alongside my eyelash curlers this really does help to make a big difference! (full review here)

Touch Of Silver Hairspray
After trying out some new do's recently (like here) I've been using alot more hairspray than usual! I want to start wearing my hiar up more so that it grows faster - last time I grew my hair avoiding heat was the best way! This hairspray is amazing! It feels so light and smells amazing (a little like Aussie) - everything I try from this brand is just perfect for my hair!

Ru Paul  What's The Tee? Podcast
I have become a total lover of podcasts and Ru Paul's What's The Tee? has been making my journeys to and from work a whole lot better! Not only do Ru and Michelle make me full on LOL whilst walking down the road but they have such much wise life advice that I love taking in!

Crunchy Nut Chocolate Granola
Jesus Christ someone needs to take this stuff away from me. I honestly think I could sit and eat the whole bag in one sitting.
Disney Pixar's - Lava
If any of you have been to see Inside Out yet you would have been greeted with this super cute Pixar short before the film began. I fell in love with it - the song makes me so so happy.


Simple Illuminating Radiance Cream
I've been using this stuff for the past couple of weeks instead of a primer and I have been loving my skin! It works just as well as a primer and leaves me with a lovely - non-shiny/greasy glow! IT's still half price at Boots at the moment - try it out girls you won't be disappointed!

New Look Platform Sandals
Did someone say new shoes? You may have spotted these in my OOTD for the Southampton Bloggers meet up on my Instagram (here) - they were literally the most comfy shoes and even though I felt a little tall compared to some of the girls in flats I loved how they looked with my skirt and top combo... and the best thing?! They are only £12 in the sale - here!

What have you been loving lately?

Estee Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge Perfume

Estee Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge*

It's not everyday I receive a surprise parcel in the post but I was lucky enough to return home from work last week to an exciting box on my doorstep with my name on it.

The lovely people at The Perfume Shop had wrapped up the yummy new scent from  Estee Lauder - Modern Muse Le Rouge for me and I couldn't have been more pleased.


Now.... I'm a big Kardashian/Jenner fan and knowing Kendall Jenner is the face of this new perfume did make me like it a little more.... don't judge me - I want to smell like a supermodel too haha!


I've never owned an Estee Lauder perfume so I was so pleased to finally have one to add to my fragrance collection. The bottle is a gorgeous simple design with the cute bow lid which I LOVE, look how pretty it is!


The scent itself is very sophisticated. I really wanted to share this on here as I really really do love it but sharing a perfume via a blog post is sometimes a little difficult (for me) so I've grabbed a little snippet from the website to give you all a good idea of what I'm chatting about...


"A sexy, provocative contrast of two distinctively different accords-rich roses awakened by ripe fruit, with a seductive velvet creme accord-provide an intriguing dual impression. It's a true innovation in fragrance design, as complex and fascinating as the woman who inspires it."


With strong notes of raspberry, rose and saffron this fruity and floral fragrance has gone straight to the top of my most worn! (Although not for work.... that's a waste!)

I wore this recently on a night out and it lasted for hours and hours, it has the glam factor about it which means it is fab for both daytime and evening wearing! 
It's also not something that I feel is 'too young or too old' - so ti seems like a great scent for anyone of any age!

With it's slight spice this is going to be perfect for the Autumn season too which makes me really happy - hello new signature scent!

The Modern Muse Le Rouge eau de parfum starts at £45 - check it out here.
