Marc by Marc Jacobs Baker Ladies Watch
Daniel Wellington Classic Winchester Ladies Watch 
Michael Kors Parker Ladies Watch 
Kate Spade Ladies Watch 

I have been wanting a really nice watch for a very long time and if I had all the money in the world I would probably have a cabinet full of them but even one of these beautiful watches would be right up my street.

Jewellery is something that I don't buy very often,I do love designer jewellery (especially watches) although there is a lot of saving required. I'm always on the look out for some amazing new watches to add to my collection.There are shops that I always go to first for designer labels. Goldsmiths is usually great for designer jewellery, ASOS is great for a mixture of affordable and designer watches as well as free delivery and Selfridges has a good range of designer labels. I thought that I would share a little wishlist of some of the ones that have caught my eye incase any of you are looking for a new time telling accessory.

      Have you been lusting over any watches lately?

Monthly Favourites | February

Hi everyone! Can you believe that it's March already? This year needs to slow down, I know that February was a short month but it really has flown by. It has been a fairly busy month...which is probably why it has went so quickly. Back to the point - my February favourites. These are the things I have been loving this month....

BEAUTY FAVOURITES |

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette | Link - I got this early this month and I have been using it ever since. I had been holding off on getting this palette because it is really expensive but I finally splurged out on it and it's worth every penny. It just adds a soft focus effect to your skin and just completes my whole make up look. This is now a part of my everyday routine. I sweep the more bronzed powder over my cheeks and the other two shades as a highlight. This product is so pigmented and it just leaves your skin looking gleaming from with in. I cannot put into words how beautiful this palette is. Madly in love with this product.

Lorac Pro Palette | Link - I just got this palette for Christmas and I have been using it everyday since, it is easily the best palette I own. The palette has 16 shades, ranging from the light to dark shades, it has the perfect combination of matte and shimmer shades. This palette has the most pigmented and beautiful shades yet and this is why I love it. This is just a really great palette with the most flattering shades for everyone. I adore it.

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara | Link - This sample was in this month's Elle Magazine. It claims to grab,separate,lift and curl the lashes and it also claims that you don't need eyelash curlers and it does everything it says on the tin. Even the sample size is easy to apply,the wand has a nice subtle curve which hugs the lashes and doesn't budge in the slightest. It lasts all day and I cannot wait to buy the full size because my sample has ran out, I have been using it every day and it's a fantastic mascara. I love it.

Nars Audacious Lipstick | Link - I have used this lipstick so much this month. It has been a part of my everyday makeup routine because it's the most beautiful nude lipstick that I own. It is the most beautiful creamy texture and is weightless so it doesn't even feel like there's lipstick on your lips. It glides on smoothly in one single stroke,definitely worth the money. My favourite lipstick by far.

SKINCARE FAVOURITES |

Glamglow Supermud Clearing Treatment Mask | Link - I have had really bad skin this month and this mask has been an absolute saviour. I absolutely HATE blackheads and this mask just draws them out,shrinks the pore size and leaves my chin area (where most of my blackheads are) looking and feeling clean and fresh. I have used this quite a lot this month and it has cleared up my skin completely.

OTHER FAVOURITES |

90210 - All I ever seem to do these days is watch Netflix and I have watched this everyday this month. It is definitely worth the watch. I'm nearly on the last episode so that just proves how much I love it. Highly recommend it!

Kodaline Coming Up For Air - This album was just released this month and I have been loving it! I really like Kodaline and have been listening to their music for quite a while now and this album is so good. Definitely worth the listen.

Imagine Dragons Smoke and Mirrors - This is another album which has been released this month and it is absolutely amazing. I love Imagine Dragons and I love nearly every song on this album,it's great. Again,definitely worth the listen.

Well that's what I've been loving this month,I will also be trying to upload a new post every Sunday from now on.

 What's some of your favourite things from this month?

2015 Wishlist

Hey everyone! I was looking through some online shops and have been drooling over lots of stuff! Mainly beauty products obviously! So I thought that I would show you what I've been lusting over and what I hope to own by the end of 2015.

Lorac Pro Palette 2 - I have the first Lorac Pro Palette and I love it! I only got it for Christmas but I have used it everyday since,it is definitely the best and most pigmented palette that I own but there will be a post on it very soon......but back to what I was talking about. The Lorac Pro Palette 2 has much lighter shades and if it is anything like the first Lorac Pro Palette,it will be amazing! (which I heard it is)

Tiffany & Co. Heart Key Pendant - This is definitely not something that I expect to on by the end of 2015 because it's quite expensive! I have wanted something from Tiffany & Co. for years but never actually got anything and I spotted this not so long ago and it's gorgeous! I just think that there's something so elegant about this jewellery range....it's so beautiful. Honestly,I don't think that I will buy it myself because I don't really buy my own jewellery but i might just drop a few hints to some family members for my birthday.

Chanel Jardin De Chanel Blush - I honestly think that this is the most beautiful makeup product that I've ever seen. This is part of Chanel's Spring 2015 Collection so it's not released just yet but I really really want this...I don't own anything from Chanel but I hope that this might be my first Chanel product. It just screams buy me....I absolutely love it and I have heard that Chanel blushes are brilliant.

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat 'Pillow Talk' - I don't have very many lip liners so I hope to build up a little collection of them throughout the year and this will definitely be the first on my list! I heard about this from two of my favourite blogger's/youtuber's, Amelia and Suzie. I've always been unsure about lip liners but this look very natural but it is quite expensive for a lip liner so it definitely will be be bought as a treat.

Zoeva Rose Golden Complete Eye Set - I have Zoeva brushes and every single one that I have bought is such good quality. Although I don't have the rose gold one's,which I personally love (but then again who doesn't.) Another thing that I don't have very many of,are eye brushes...and I'm pretty sure these would be all I need. What isn't there to like about them though...rose golden great quality eye brushes that will be enough to last a lifetime.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette - I'm sure you've heard of this before....if not,have you been living under a rock? It's talked about so much amongst YouTuber's and bloggers,I don't usually give in to hypes because sometimes I think the product that people hype about, can be over-rated. I have seen the looks that have been created with this on YouTube and I think that it just completes the look but who can review a product better than yourself right? I really really want this but it's super expensive.

Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow - I don't yet own anything from Charlotte Tilbury but the products look absolutely beautiful. They all look so luxurious,hence why it's a high end brand. This little duo looks perfect for contouring and has gorgeous,vintage looking packaging. I can tell I love it already.

Real Techniques Bold Metals Contour Brush - Real Techniques have a brand new brush collection released,called Bold Metals and they look amazing. I have a lot of Real Techniques brushes and they are by far my favourite brushes and they are fantastic quality for such a small price. Although the Bold Metals collection are more luxurious than the other ones,therefore they're more expensive. The one that appeals to me most out of the collection is the Contour brush,it looks amazing. I love contouring and make up brushes so it sounds perfect to me!

So that's my 2015 wishlist......What's on your wishlist for this year?

Favourites of 2014

Hey everyone! So 2014 is now over...I can't believe it,this year has flown by! So I thought that I would show you the things that I have been loving this year!

This year has been a year of new beauty discoveries and rediscoveries and these are the ones that have stood out the most. 

Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer -  I bought this at the start of 2014 and I've loved it ever since. I never really thought that tinted moisturizers had much coverage but I was wrong. It has amazing coverage,probably the same amount as some of my foundations.The finish is in no way cakey,it blends perfectly and it definitely puts some moisture in the skin. Don't think that because it's a tinted moisturizer that it won't cover because I thought this and I was amazed by the finish,it left my skin looking flawless. 

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette - I got this for my birthday in July and it has been my go to eyeshadow palette all year round. It is definitely my all time favourite eyeshadow palette ever,it has six matte shades ranging from an almost white shade to a carbon black. It's just the perfect little everyday palette and it's no wonder it has made it into my favourites.

Zoeva Classic Brush Set - Zoeva was a new brand discovery for me this year. I got the make up brush set for my birthday and I absolutely love them. They are such high quality,luxurious brushes. I use these on a daily basis and I will hopefully add to my collection in 2015....with some prettier rose gold ones perhaps

Bobbi Brown Corrector - This was a rediscovery of mine,I actually got this for Christmas 2013 and I wasn't entirely sure about this product so it was lying at the bottom of my makeup bag for so long. I completely forgot about it until around June when I was having a makeup clear out and I rediscovered it again. It is now a part of my everyday makeup routine and it works perfectly under foundation to help cover any dark circles (which I have a major problem with) and it isn't cakey unlike some other correctors.I have definitely used this A LOT in 2014.

Essie Romper Room - This nail polish came in a set of four mini nail polishes. Essie is my favourite nail polish brand and this shade was part of the Spring 2014,I think I've had this nail polish on 90% of this year! Essie is not the cheapest nail polish brand but it's such good quality and this shade is just perfect,it's so flattering for my skintone. I think I will struggle to find a nail polish shade that will beat this one! 

Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream - I can't remember exactly when I got this but I think that it was in the spring time,I got it as a gift. This was definitely my Spring/Summer scent of this year,its a gorgeous floral,classy scent. The thing I love most about Marc Jacobs perfume is that they have the most beautiful bottles and this didn't disappoint. The scent,the design - Marc Jacobs make the most beautiful perfume.

Nars Laguna Bronzer - This bronzer has been all over the internet,it has been raved about for so long. I can't remember when exactly I got this but I have used this all year! I wasn't entirely sure about this before buying because I knew it was shimmery and bronzers tend to look orange on some of us pale skinned people....but no, this was perfect! It gives me that little bit of a bronze without looking too full on! It is quite expensive for a bronzer....but definitely worth the splurge. 

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Lightscapade - This has been the highlighter I have reached for,nearly everyday of the year! It is perfect for pale skin,it doesn't leave a metallic looking finish on the cheeks. Although the weartime isn't the best, it is definitely my favourite highlight of the year. I love sweeping this over my cheekbones,brow bone and cupids bow because it gives the most natural glow. It's definitely my holy grail highlighter...it's so beautiful. 

Estee Lauder Illuminating Perfecting Primer - This primer is the only primer I've used all year. It doesn't make your foundation cakey like some other primers. It's lightweight and is a lotion-like texture. I think the primer makes a visible difference. Whenever I have it on,my skin looks fresher,dewier,smoother and I find that my pores look smaller. It definitely keeps my makeup on for much longer.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - This is my holy grail concealer. It is high coverage, easily blended,doesn't crease and covers dark circles....everything you need in a concealer really. This is far better than any of my high end concealers,definitely worth all the hype. Nobody notices those dark circles under your eyes with this product....definitely one of my holy grail products.

So that's it! Thats my favourite products of 2014....What are some of your favourite products from 2014?

Happy New Year

What I Got For Christmas 2014

Hi everyone! So Christmas is well and truly over for another year,I had a really nice day and I hope you did too! So I thought that I would do a 'What I got for Christmas' post because I really love reading these kind of blog posts and I know other people do too! I'm in no way, boasting or bragging about what I got and I'm very grateful for everything! (This will be quite a long blog)

I was so excited whenever I opened this!! I've wanted a dslr camera for so long and I finally got one! My mum and dad got me a Canon 100D along with two lenses and of course the kit lense which it comes with! I got the 50mm lense and it's amazing!! I love photography and I can't wait to learn loads more about my camera in 2015!

I was very spoilt this year by Mum and Dad and they got me so many beauty products!! 

I got the Lorac Pro Palette for Christmas,I couldn't believe it whenever I opened this! I have wanted this for sooo long but I knew that you couldn't get in the UK but I found a way to get it without having to pay a fortune for shipping and I had told my mum about this so she got me it!! It has 16 shades,half of them are matte and the other half are shimmer so the perfect combination! I can't wait  to try out different makeup looks with this palette! (There will be a post on this soon)

I also got the Nars Virtual Domination Palette which was part of the Nars Holiday Collection this year. I am absolutely in love with this palette, I don't have any of the Nars blushes and this was a perfect way to try some out! The packaging is beautiful and inside there are 3 blushes,a highlighter and a bronzer. The three blushes are in the shades 'Deep Throat', 'Sex Fantasy' and 'Final Cut'. The highlighter is in the shade 'Miss Liberty' and of course Nars Laguna bronzer. They are all reasonably sized and I can't wait to try this out although I've already got the Laguna bronzer and I love it so this will come in handy as an extra.

I got quite a lot of Nars products this year for Christmas! Which I'm not complaining about because it's my favourite make-up brand. I got the Nars Audacious Lipstick in the shade 'Barbara.' I've wanted one of these lipsticks for the longest time but they are quite expensive! I love this colour its such a perfect shade,it's like a 'my lips but better' shade and it's just a perfect nude shade.

I actually asked my Mum and Dad if they could get me this for Christmas and they did! I have been wanting this foundation for so long,everyone seems to love it and I can definitely say that I do too! It's Nars Sheer Glow foundation in the shade 'Siberia', it is the most easily applied foundation I've ever used and it gives such a beautiful finish. 

I got the Nars ITA kabuki brush, I had been eyeing this up this past year and I can't believe that I finally own one. It's the type of brush that I wouldn't buy myself because its so expensive so I thought that I would ask for it,for Christmas. It's perfect for a much more defined contour and I love it but I thought that it would much better quality because it's so expensive but other than that it's a brilliant brush.

The last Nars product that I got for Christmas was the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. I already have this concealer but the shade that I have is too dark for me so I got this in the lightest shade 'Chantilly' and mix it with my other concealer for the perfect shade. It really is a great concealer. 

I know that I'm a little late, but I finally own the Naked 3 palette. It's so gorgeous and it has the prettiest shades. My Mum and Dad got me this as a surprise Christmas present and I'm in love with it. I cannot wait to try out some makeup looks with this... 

I also got the Urban Decay Perversion/Subversion mascara and the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray. I have been wanting this mascara for so long because it has amazing reviews, I haven't used it yet but I can't wait to try it out! I have tried out the Setting Spray and it's amazing,it keeps your make up in place all day which is amazing!! 

I got these two products for Christmas as well,TheBalm Mary-Lou Manizer and Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner. I haven't yet tried these out either but the Mary-Lou Manizer has been hyped all over the internet and the Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner was released this year and it has been on my wishlist ever since! 

I got the Anastasia Beverley Hills Contour Kit that I have wanted for so long and everytime I went to order it,it was out of stock. So it finally came out before Christmas and I decided to order it so my Mum said that she would buy it for me,for Christmas so this was a gift that I knew I was getting. I really love it! 

Ok,I'm so sorry if your bored already but this is the last make-up related product...I promise! I got the Real Techniques Nic's Picks Limited Edition brushes. Real Techniques brushes are such good quality and I just think that you can never have enough of them! 

I also got some skincare products for Christmas this year. I got the Foreo Luna Mini which is a facial-cleansing device that is a lot gentler on the skin than the Clarisonic Cleansing brushes. The other Skincare product that I got was this Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel, I have heard Vivianna Does Make-up talk loads about this and it's been on my wishlist for a long time now!

These next two presents are from my Auntie and Uncle and I couldn't believe it when I opened these! I have wanted a Ted Baker purse for so long now but they were all so expensive that I never actually bought one but I dont know how my auntie knew that I liked them but she picked this one for me! I can honestly say this is the most pretty thing I own and I can tell that this will be put to good use in 2015. They also got me the Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy perfume,every Christmas they get me a perfume and they always have the most pretty bottles as well as the most gorgeous scents. 

And thats it....that's all I got for Christmas this year!I also got some money and bath stuff but I thought that there would be little point showing them in this post! Again,I'm so grateful for everything that I've got this year! I hope you all had a great Christmas.
