This Week I'm Loving... #6

Pinterest

Okay..... I'm officially converted to Pinterest! (Or as my mum likes to say "Pin-Interest") I've probably had this social media account for years but have never caught the pinning bug..... Until last week! I can't stop, I won't stop! It started when I started looking at tattoo inspiration and  ideas that was it! I could spend hours on this site!! My username is   KirstieLouiseS - here's my account! 

Jerseylicious

This show is awesome. How have I never watched it properly before? I know it's been out for years and yes I'd heard of it but after stumbling across it on ITVBe one lunchtime I have been trying to watch it every weekday when I pop home from work! 

I need them all on DVD - ASAP. (I like Tracy AND Olivia .... Is that okay?)

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick - Nude-ist

You may have seen this in my recent boots haul! I had been eyeing up this shade for a while and was super happy to finally bring it home last week! I have been wearing it constantly, it is a gorgeous everyday colour and it lasts for hours and hours! The only thing I'm not a fan of is the scent.... It is horrible! 

Sia - 1000 Forms Of Fear

I loved Chandelier when it came out and downloaded it immediately. After watching lots of Dance Moms again recently it reminded me to have a little listen of Sia's album - 1000 Forms Of Fear! I have been listening to it on YouTube and have fallen in love! It's really not my usual style of music but I've been really enjoying it - Fire and Gasoline is my favourite! 

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara

Yes, like every other beauty blogger I ran and grabbed Elle magazine as soon as if was released this month! Free make-up is always a bonus... free Benefit make-up is even better and free brand new Benefit make-up is the best! I have been loving this little tester and I definitely think it will be something I'll be investing in once it is released properly!

Fishtail plaits

I have finally mastered the art of a fishtail plait! I am so happy my hair is finally at a good length that I can wear a fishtail and be excited about it!

Bath & Body Works Sweet Pea Hand Cream 

My hands have been seriously suffering these last few weeks and this has been my go-to hand cream! It really helps to soothe and hydrate my poor dry hands and smells amazing at the same time! It's rich and creamy without being greasy - I just wish it was easier to be able to get some more!

New Look Lace Up Black Boots

I bought these back in November in the sale and over the past few weeks I have been wearing them alot! They are so so comfy and make my feel a little bit glammer when I'm dressed in casual clothing!

Warburtons Crumpets

These with marmite = the greatest winter breakfast.

Boots Christmas 2014 : My Top Picks £5 & Under

Okay, I know it's only October BUT you can never be too early when it comes to Christmas shopping! I've decided to start buying things for loved ones already this year - mainly so I actually have some money left when it come to December and new year!

Boots is a great place to get your Christmas gifts and I've seen so many of you chatting away on twitter about getting the gift guide that's been recently released!

I always love hunting through their Christmas 3 for 2 mix and match pressies and probably buy more for myself than anyone else - opps!

So I thought what better on the lead up to the most wonderful time of the year than a few gift guides to help you on your quests to find the perfect gift for those special people in your life (or those ones you got stuck with in your work's secret santa!).

First up..... £5 and under gifts! (These are going to be mainly girly products but I will try and get a mens gift guide up aswell :)

RHS Collection Sweet Pea Candle - £5

Sweet pea is one of my favourite scents when it comes to products and candles and this little stokcing filler is great for anyone! Who doesn't love a lovely smelling home?

Shot 2 Go Photo Cube - £5
Whether you give this present as it comes or fill the photos in yourself this is cutest little cube for anyones dresser or work space! So much better as a frame as you can have a total mix of photos all on one product!

Baylis & Harding Beauticology Gingerbread Cupcake Footcare Giftset - £5
Baylis & Harding had a similar set out last year which I was really sad about missing out on! By the time I went to order it for myself it was out of stock and I couldn't find it anywhere! Fluffy socks AND cute products for only £5 - yup I'm sold!

Jack Wills Emery Boards - £5
Jack Wills is a brand that's been in my life for  a good few years, living on an island which is surrounded by boats and the 'yauchty' brand is pretty popular here! These nail files are super cute and handy, good for any manicure lover.

Soap & Glory Merry-Kiss-Much Gift - £5
A bauble AND a lip balm in one! I love Soap and Glory stuff and their Christmas lines never seem to disappoint! I've used S&G lip balms before and they are lovely, what better present for a beauty babe!

Ferrero Rocher Collection - £4.69
If all else fails, chocolate is the answer and this Ferrero Rocher box looks lovely and most expensive than it actually is! (Contains Nuts... obviously!)

Collection Little Mix All About The Eyes Palette - £3.19
Yes I now this isn't in the Christmas collection but this is such a lovely little gift for a tiny price tag! If you've got a secret santa to do this lovely neutrals palette is a great idea! Collection make-up is always fantastic quality and if they are a Little Mix fan then it's a double whammy!

Fearne Perfectly Polished Nail Polish Duo Set - £4
Everyone's a fan of Fearne! Her collection for Boots each Christmas is always a best seller and this year I'm sure will be no exception! Again, the perfect stocking filler for girls ad women alike!

Keep your eyes peeled for my next top picks - £10 and under, coming soon!

POTW #34 : Bath & Body Works Sweet Pea Hand Cream

Oooo cheeky US product alert! 
I'm am totally and utterly obsessed with Bath & Body Works and their magical aray of beautiful smelling things. 
Each time I've been to a store I've just walked in like a kid in a candy store not knowing where on earth to start looking! If it wasn't for luggage allowance I would have bought back thousands of candles and fabulous products but unfortualey for me I could only buy what I knew I could squeeze in.... which wasn't alot :( (you may have spotted this in my Florida Haul!)

This was a must have for me.
Sweet pea is one of my favourite scents from BABW and with the weather taking a turn for the worst back here in the UK I knew hand cream would be one of my go-to products for the next couple of months.
I love having a hand cream with me in my handbag, as well as being a yummy smelling pick me up this stuff helps keeps my hands hydrated - I'm a big over-user of anti-bacterial hand gels and along with the cold weather this sometimes leads them to becoming dry and sore! 

With shea butter and vitamin E this cream leaves my hands soft as a baby's behind and with the sweet pea fragrance has them smelling fab for ages after! It's like perfume for my hands! 
Not greasy in the slightest and rubs in quick and easy, I'm always re-applying this throughout my work days and am always surprised how long the scent lasts for!
I can't quite remember how much this cost me.... how on I'l do some research online...... *a few minutes later* ... it was $5! Such a bargain! I'm going to have a look online on ebay etc to see i I can order some more of these hand creams in different scents - I love it more than I love Soap & Glory's Hand Food.... that's saying something!

Product Of The Week #3

It is Friday - happy weekend girls and boys! Another week has past (nearly) so here is another product of the week for you!
This week it is a slightly different item - a candle! 
Yup it's the Simply Home Yankee Candle in Sweet Pea. 

I love love love candles, I mean... who doesn't? I love having them burning at home - there's nothing better than a good smelling home.
This was a little surprise gift for Valentine's from my boyfriend. We don't normally do presents so this was really out of the blue - major boyf points to him!
I love the sweet pea scent - always have done. When I was in America I got so much Sweet Pea from Bath & Both Works, it is my favourite!

This sweet smelling beauty has been burning everyday since I got it! It has overtaken my previous fav yankee candle - black coconut ... sorry coconut - nothing personal!

What are your favourite candle scents? If you like sweet scents - check this badboy out!
