Review: Zoella Fizz Bar
Today I am going to be reviewing the Zoella Fizz Bar from her new beauty range. As you can probably tell from my previous post I am loving bath time products at the minute, I think its because the weather is getting colder so baths just seem much more cozier and relaxing than showers.
This product did not disappoint and deserves all the hype it is getting. The packaging is gorgeous,so adorable and very Zoe, you can tell it definitely as her stamp on it.
The product itself is very weighty meaning at £5 it is excellent value for money. In my bath I used two squares and this was more than enough to make my bath water smell amazing and fill the room with the lovely fresh scent of the product. I think the scent will appeal to a large number of people as it's very fresh and clean and nothing too overpowering.
I absolutely love this product and I cant wait to try the rest of the stuff in her range.

Review : Jo Malone Bath Oil
 |
| Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia Bath Oil 30ml |
Whilst in Jo Malone with my Mum I fell in love with everything about the store and the products so I decided to find a scent I liked. In there, there is something that appeals to everybody as there is a huge range of scents and you can mix them together too. The one I fell in love with was the English
Pear and Freesia scent so I decided to give the bath oil a try. It is extremely luxurious and a little goes a long way. A 30 ml bottle costs £17 which at first glance seems extremely pricey but I have had my bottle for over two months now and still have some left. After you have got out the bath the whole room is filled with the scent and it is left lingering on your skin which is left super soft. Also it is packaged so beautifully with a black bow around the lid in a signature Jo Malone box with black tissue paper. I will definitely be trying more from Jo Malone and I especially want the English Pear and Freesia perfume as I just love the scent so much.It is a sweet scent but not sickly at all.It is very fresh with floral and fruity notes. If you haven't tried anything from Jo Malone definitely give it a go as there is something for everybody.

My Current Top 3 Lipsticks
Out of all the makeup products there is to buy I think lipstick is by far my favorite and the most exciting purely due to the amount of colors and formulas on offer, however for the last couple of months I have found myself solely rotating between these three (and as you can see from the pictures they are extremely well loved).

Next is the YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick in shade 13/Peach Passion, a perfect coral shade. I absolutely adore this lipstick and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't partially to do with the ah-mazing packaging. Its absolutely gorgeous and I'd say every girl has to have one of these lipsticks in their makeup bag purely for how beautiful the packaging is. As for the lipstick, it is extremely buttery but the colour pay off is still there and again the scent is lovely. It is a fruity mango scent but nothing too overpowering.Even though these lipsticks are quite pricey at £25.00 they are definitely worth every penny.

Stiletto Nails
I was watching the lovely Swalkermakeup 's video on Stiletto Nails recently and absolutely fell in love with them so I decided to follow her video and give them a go myself. I used the exact same kit as she did which was the Elegant Touch totally bare stiletto nails in 003 costing £4.65. The kit had everything you needed to apply the nails which was extremely handy. I decided to paint them a dusky pink colour and here is how they turned out:
They stayed on for about a week and I got lots of compliments on them so I will definitely be experimenting with more Stiletto nails( I especially love the new Henry Holland ones). As for the nail polish, I used one from the Colour Carnival collection by Seventeen which I bought to use with the nails purely because I loved the colour which was called Rose Pink shown below.
The polish retails at £1.99 and I'll be honest I wasn't expecting much regarding staying power, chipping etc. however I was pleasantly surprised. Whilst I was doing my nails my Auntie was at my house and she also fell in love with the colour so she painted her natural nails with it and said that it stayed on perfectly,so much that she went out and bought one herself. I think these nail varnishes are an absolute steal and I will definitely be trying out more as they had a huge colour range and are a total bargain.

Review: Garnier Micellar Water
Micellar waters are becoming a staple skincare product in many peoples regimes and I can totally see why after trying this one. I have yet to try Bioderma but many are saying this is just like it, if not better. I have tried the L'oreal Micellar water though and I enjoy using this one so much more. The L'oreal one felt greasy on my skin and the packaging dispensed far too much product meaning a lot was going to waste.
This one however takes your makeup off nice and quickly, even the most stubborn of mascaras, and leaves your skin feeling fresh and squeaky clean. It can be used as a pre-cleanse or on its own and I think that it is also a great option for someone who is trying to stop using makeup wipes as often as it is an efficient way to take off your makeup but so much better for your skin.
Retailing at £4.99 I think this product is great value for money. The bottle claims you can get 200 uses however it obviously depends on how much make up you wear on a day to day basis. For me, I have had this bottle for around 2 and a half months now and I am only just half way through (and I know my sister has sneakily been using it too) so it definitely lasts a while. This product has quickly become a holy grail item in my skincare routine and I will definitely be repurchasing.

October Lust List
Autumn has sprung itself on us and not only does that mean a change in season but this also means for the majority of us a change in wardrobe and a change in our everyday beauty look which means resisting temptation whilst shopping is extremely hard and a long list of wants starts to slowly form :
To start with the Charlotte Tilbury Lipsticks have become a new beauty hype and from what I have seen the packaging looks classy and simply gorgeous and the shades in particular scream autumn. I especially love the shade Love Liberty which is a gorgeous deep red colour and perfect for AW.
Whilst in Topshop I saw this gorgeous green suede jumper with a leather strip down the front. It is simple yet the variety in textures makes it unique and a staple piece for an AW wardrobe. 
I am loving leather at the moment therefore I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of leather leggings/ trousers for a while and I have finally found the perfect pair with a realistic price tag from Topshop.
And finally whilst on Asos I found the perfect autumn scarf from Monki. The monochrome colouring makes it easy to pair with most outfits and its not too thick therefore you can still wear it on the warmer autumn days.
I'm sure my list will be ever growing. Autumn is my favourite fashion season so I am extremely excited for even newer stock that will be hitting stores soon.
