BEAUTY: IT'S A BEAUTY WISHLIST


So I have a huge list here of beauty bits and pieces that i'd love to add to my collection, I don't actually need any of this as my make up collection is huge but i'm a girl and I love pretty new things.

I have had a couple of these items before but would love to repurchase them, first is Black Opium by YSL, I have had two bottles of this and I need more. Last year I was on a perfume ban because I own so much perfume and Clint bought me a bottle of Black Opium in Duty Free which is nearly gone, so I feel like I need another bottle but I know I have so many other perfumes to use up first.

I've also had Nars Sheerglow before, i've just used up the last of my bottle and I really love it, it's one of my favourite everyday/ day off work foundations. It lasts all day and makes my skin look flawless. I usually use Loreal Matte Infaliable when i'm at work because it's cheaper.

I've got so many eye shadow palettes but the Gwen Steffani palette from Urban Decay is gorgeous. I need all of those beautiful shades. It's so nice, this is going on my wish list for sure. I might have to hint at Clint that I need it!

The Kevin Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer is such a fab little product, one of the lovely ladies in Space NK recently recommended it. You can mix it into your daycream to make it into the perfect foundation or you can use it as a very very high coverage concealer.

The Steven Klein limited edition Nars Palette is so dreamy! I don't really need this as I had the Limited Edition Nars Palette last year which is still going strong however for £45 this is such a good product.

I just want a Diptyque candle I have my own place now and I feel like I should just have one, ( not to light because its a £40 candle !!! but they so pretty)

Finally this beautiful Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick, i've picked out Glastonberry because its beautiful but i'd be happy with any shade, they are just beautiful.


LIFESTYLE: DIY HOW TO MAKE A CANDLE USING OLD CANDLES.


TO MAKE YOUR OWN DIY CANDLE YOU WILL NEED:
- A CONTAINER (POT, GLASS ETC) 
- OLD CANDLES (I'M JUST USING THESE TEALIGHTS) 
-WICKS - YOU CAN GET THESE OFF EBAY
-MICROWAVE SAFE CONTAINER.( use a container that you can throw away) 


 1. BREAK UP YOUR CANDLES OR USE A SPOON TO SCRAPE ANY LEFT OVERS FROM OTHER CONTAINERS.
2. ON A 60 POWER SETTING IN A MIRCROWAVE MELT THE WAX. DO THIS IN 1 MINUTE BURSTS TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE WAX.
3.CONTINUE UNTIL THE WAX HAS MELTED INTO A LIQUID
 4. PLACE THE WICK IN THE CONTAINER AND POUR IN THE WAX, I FOUND LEAVING THE WAX TO COOL WORKED BEST AS THE HOT WAX KEPT MELTING MY WICKS.

 5. I'VE USED THE BAMBOO TO HOLD THE WICK IN PLACE UNTIL THE WAX HAS COOLED ENOUGH.
6. WHEN THE WAX HAS COOLED ENOUGH THAT YOU CAN MOVE THE CANDLE POP IT IN THE FREEZER TO FINISH COOLING.
7. THERE YOU GO A BRAND NEW CANDLE :)




REVIEW: NEAL AND WOLF SCENTED CANDLE


Neal And Wolf - Candle Indulgence Scented Candle - £17.95*



I'm a huge fan of Neal and Wolf shampoo and conditioner, it's one of those brands that I have tried a few times and have always been impressed. When I was offered the chance to review a Neal and Wolf candle I jumped at the chance.

First of all the style of the candle is lovely, the packaging is matte purple and looks so expensive.

It has a lovely citrus/orange scent and as it burns very floral aromas of Lily, Ylang-Ylang and Orchid. I think the scent is similar to that of Neal and Wolf's shampoo and conditioner which I absolutely love the smell of! Neal and Wolf have developed their fragrances that have been created by perfume houses that are behind some of the worlds finest scents.

I think this candle looks amazing alongside the rest of my candles, it's one of my new favourites. I think its quite affordable alongside other popular candle brands at only £17.95 for 45 hours burning time I think its a good value for money.

I really want to try more from Neal and Wolf the range has grown since the last time I visited their site, theres now lots of choice when it comes to haircare. I love the look of the Cleanse and Treat backwash Duo pack and the Smoothing Blow-dry Balm.

What do you think of Neal and Wolf products?

Bag // make up bag // dress // candle - www.notonthehighstreet.co.uk 
 This gorgeous dress is from Jolie Moi and it was kindly sent to me from Not on the highstreet you can buy it here and see my outfit post featuring this dress here.



 The pocket full of posies bag is lovely, i'm such a massive fan of these canvas tote bags. They are perfect for uni to pop your books in expecially when your returning books because then you can just fold it up and put it away :) I love the font of the writing too. you can buy it here 
 This make up bag from the shed is a lovely size and fits all my essentials in so it's perfect for when I stop at dans because its a great size to just pop in my handbag. Its oil cloth so it's durable and lightweight. I love the daisy pattern and love the shade of pink.


I love letters, I'm such a massive fan of typography and I love different fonts etc so when I spotted this candle I just wanted it so bad! It's a lovely little candle, it's scented and smells really fresh and clean. I love how it comes in the box which makes it perfect to give somebody as a gift and at £6.95 its just a lovely edition to any room.

I love not on the high street they do an amazing range of different products from all kinds of different sellers. Your order will come in separate packages because of this but most of the brands have such quick postage.  I would totally recommend not on the high street for some lovely unique gifts for others and yourself ; )
