My New Everyday Perfume : Thierry Mugler Angel Eau De Parfum

For Christmas this year (last year?.... 2015! You know what I mean) I was lucky enough to be given 2 Thierry Mugler perfumes that I had been wanting forever - Angel & Alien.

My mum has been wearing Angel pretty much since it came out and I've always been such a fan (stealing sprays when I can.... hahs sorry Mum!) Until now I've just had the Glade Honey & Chocolate candles at home constantly, they have such a similar scent - warm and sweet they make everything smell amazing.

Angel has now become my everyday perfume. The sweet smell of vanilla, chocolate, honey and patchouli is strong but not overpowering and with just one or two spritz' the scent stays on all day.
Normally with perfumes after a couple of hours I find even if others can still smell the fragrance on me I can't smell it on myself anymore but with Angel I can smell it all day which I love.

I only got a 15ml bottle for Christmas - which sounds tiny but I was surprised by how big it was - I was picturing a little tester size! I've used it everyday so far and it looks like I've basically used none - I can tell it's going to last for months and as soon as it runs out I won't might picking up another.

If you haven't smelt Angel before I highly recommend you go grab a tester soon - it's not to everyone's taste but if you like warm, sweet scents (or chocolate) you might just find yourself a new favourite.

Beauty Wishlist : March

Nip + Fab Glycolic Instant Fix Mask
Well... if it's good enough for Kylie Jenner is totes good enough for me! I'ma  big fan of Nip + Fab and have loved everything I've tried from them before and the sound of this sounds right up my street!

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub
I have wanted to buy a lip scrub for so long and this has been on the top of my list. The last few weeks my lips have been dry, chapped, flaky - totally gross, so this would be a fab little treat....if only I lived near a Lush store!

Rimmel Lasting Fix Concealer
NEW new new product alert! I love Rimmel and get so excited for new releases from them.... and this little beaut is one of the things this spring that I am looking forward to trying most! Cream concealers are slowly becoming my fav kind of concealers so I'm hoping this is a winner.

MAC Lipliner - Beet
For months now I have been using an old elf lipliner with my Rebel lipstick - and yeah it's okay but it's not the best. Beet is meant to be the best lipliner to use with Rebel so I think it's about time I invested in it.

MAC Lipstick - Brave
Over the last couple of months I have bought THREE new MAC lipsticks.... this is not like me at all - naughty Kirstie! My wishlist of lipsticks is never-ending and this is top of it at the moment! I'm loving nudes and all the photos I've seen of this just look gorgeous.

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Beauty Trio
My holy grail of all skincare is Cleanse and Polish and the amazing people at Liz Earle are celebrating their 20th birthday with this beauty trio! 3 different C&P's in a lovely collectable tin - I need this in my life.

ghd V Gold Styler
My ghd's are officially 11 years old.... so it about bloomin' time I got some newbies! These are top of my wishlist of things at the moment - they are so much prettier than my beat up old things!

Make-Up Revolution Salvation Intense Lip Lacquer - Depravity 
How stunning is this colour! It's sold out at the moment but I'm determined to get my mitts on it for summer!

Thierry Mugler Alien Perfume
After spraying this recently I have become obsessed. I love this so much .... one of my besties wears it but I think I may have treat myself to some on payday - perfect glam scent!

Mother's Day Gift Guide

Not long now boys and girls - Mother's Day is literally round the corner so I thought I would lend a helping hand and give you some great ideas for gifts for those special ladies in your life! 

Weather its your mother, your grandmother, your mother-in-law or just a woman in your life that really deserves to be spoilt, mothers day is a great way to show those ladies how much they mean to us and how much we really do appreciate everything they do/have done for us!
I've choosen a range of gifts from smelly gifts to practical gifts - so hopefully there is something to suit all Mummy's out there and I've made sure everything is under £50!

Britain's Best Mum Travel Mug  : Who's Mum doesn't love a good cup of tea? or coffee? or even hot chocolate! I love these travel mugs, they are great for taking away and for in the work place - this is a great present and the writing says it all! 
Hotel Chocolat Chocolate H-Box : Stuff diamonds, chocolate is a girls best friend! I was lucky enough to try these chocolate's a few months ago and was overwhelmed by how amazing they are! These are such a luxury, amazing unique flavours and outstanding tastes - an amazing treat for that woman in your life!
Philosophy Thank You Raspberry Sorbet Gift Set : This is such a gorgeous looking present, two lovely products in a cute presentation box! The fact it is the "thank you" gift set really drew me too it - thank you is something we should all say to our mumma's! (although my Mum won't be getting this as she hates raspberries hahaha!)
Liz Earle Superskin Concentrate : Liz Earle is a favourite with woman of all ages across the UK and the world and this is a popular product from the fabulous Superskin range! Maybe something not all Mum's would want to fork out on on a regular basis so treating them to this gorgeous facial oil could definitely put a smile on their face!
No7 Pop & Glow Cream Blush Stick : A fairly new product from No7 , give your Mum a new pop of colour for the upcoming spring and summer months - there are 3 colours available so hopefully something for everyone!
Thierry Mugler Alien Eau Extraordinaire Eau de Toilette 60ml : Angel and Alien have been best sellers for years and now Thierry Mugler have released a new scent! This is the new Alien scent called Alien Eau Extraordinaire and personally I love it! The most expensive gift I've included but a fabulous way to say Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Jackson Mumtastic Card : How cute is this card! I couldn't do a mother's dy gift guide without including at least one card! I am someone who spends age and ages in card shops looking through every single card they have until I find the perfect one! But looking online it took me only seconds to find a few cards I loved!
La Roche Posay Lipikar Hand Cream 50ml : A brand that is taking the beauty world by storm! If your Mum's are anything like mine then they love a good hand cream! This is a lovely indulgent hand cream which works like a dream and is under £5! A great little present!
With Love - Limited Edition Gift by Sanctuary Spa  : Total bargain alert! This is half price at the moment at Boots - so act fast if you want to get one for your Mum (or yourself) as this is bound to sell out! Sanctuary are lovely indulgent brand and this box contains so many products she won't know what to try first!
Yankee Candles : Candles, I find, are amazing gifts! Yankee have got to be one of the best candle makes in the world and with the crazy amount of different scents there is a candle (or twenty) for everyone!
Juliana Home Living Multi Aperture Photo Frame : Family photos are so precious - so why not find your favourite photos of you, your mum and your family and pop them in a gorgeous frame like this or even in an album!
