Latest In Beauty: Capital FM Box

Latest in Beauty teamed up with Captial FM to create this box full of this seasons hottest beauty products.

I loved the premise of this box, and the fact that you can see everything inside so you know if you're getting your money's worth.

This box is £14.95 (postage included) which is such a good price as you get 9 products and they are all full sized (except the perfume sample)

This is what you get:

-Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner

-Rimmel 60 Seconds Super Shine Nail Polish (by Rita Ora)

- Nail Buffer

- Pixi Lip Blush

-Collection Eyes Uncovered Palette (nude)

-Jimmy Choo 'Flash' Fragrance

-Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer

-Stylondon Metallic Temporary Tattoos

-Collection Lengthening Mascara

So far I've tried the Eyeliner, which I liked a lot and was impressed with how long it lasted and stayed in place.

The Pixi Lip brush is probably my favourite; the shade is just gorgeous! And i'm a massive fan of Pixi as a whole anyway. 

The Collection eyeshadow palette I have been wanting to buy for a while and i'm looking forward to trying it out. 

The only thing that I was slightly disappointed with was the Burt's Bees lip shimmer, but that is only because it is pretty much exactly the same as the EcoLips lip tint I received in the January Lipmonthly, and although I do like it I don't really need two!

Lush: Easter Range

There are so many cute products in the Lush Easter Range that I'm really looking forward to trying so I thought I'd share my thoughts on some of them! 

I've only had a chance to buy two so far: the 'Hoppity Poppity' and 'Fluffy Egg' bath bombs. 

I tried Hoppity poppity yesterday and I loved it! It has a really light and sweet scent with fresh grassy undertones, very apt for spring! It has popping candy inside which is a nice touch and the smell stayed on my skin for hours after I used it! 

I'm yet to try the Fluffy Egg, but I knew I'd love it as soon as I smelt it; anything candy floss is a winner with me! 

The Bunch of carrots I remember from last year, and I think they are really good value for money. You get loads of bubbles from just a tiny bit so they last for ages. 

There's two soaps: 'Somewhere over the Rainbow' and 'Carrot'. I don't usually use soap bars that much, but I know my Boyfriend does so I might buy him one.

This sounds amazing, it's toffee scented (yum!) and contains olive oil to make the skin soft and smooth. I've always been a massive fan of the bath melts anyway and every one I've used has indeed left my skin feeling incredibly soft so I don't doubt this will do the same. 

Now for the ones I'm really excited about: the 'Immaculate Eggception' bath bombs. £6.95 might seem a bit steep, but you get 3 in one, as you break it in two and then theres another bath bomb (shaped like a chick or bunny) inside! Tbh I think i'd rather get this for Easter instead of chocolate!

Primark Treats!

I recently took a trip to Primark and picked up a few bargains!

I'm loving the ripped jeans look atm, and these were only £13. They're low rise and have a small rip in each knee. These will be great for this kind of weather as it is just starting to warm up, and I'll probably roll up the ankles in the summer to make them 3/4 length.

I also picked up these shoes for £8. I realised the other day that I don't actually own a decent pair of flats, all of mine seem to have fallen apart! I love the colour of these, and they actually only sell them in 'wide fit' so I wasn't sure whether to get them or not as they did feel a little loose when I tried them on. But I picked up some insoles and heel grips (£1 each) and with them in they fit perfectly.

The last thing I got were these cute fairy lights. They were reduced form £6 to £3 so I couldn't resist getting them! I'm moving house soon, so I'm always on the look out for things to decorate the new flat with, and I think these will look really good over the fireplace in the living room.

My Top 10 Books: World book Day!

In honour of World Book Day today, I thought I'd share my favourite books; some from my childhood and some more recent ones.

My my all time favourite from my childhood has got to be JK Rowling's Harry Potter. I love all of them, but most specifically The Goblet of Fire. 

Second on the list is Matilda by Roald Dahl. I was so obsessed with this book, I dressed up as her pretty much every world book day at school and watched the film 24/7! 

Third is Holes by Louis Sachar. There are just so many positive messages to be learnt from this book and the characters are brilliantly written, I think Zero is my favourite! 

The last of my Childhood faves is The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. It's such a classic. My boyfriend even bought me a personalised version, where all the characters names are swapped for my own and some my friends. It's the best and so hilarious! 

My recent favourite books are forever changing, everytime I read something it automatically becomes my new favourites. But here are some I'm loving for now: 

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern: I don't think I've ever been so drawn in by a book, I just want to live in their world and wander around this amazing magical circus. 

The Hunger Games, Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins: As much as I love the first one, I think Catching Fire will have the biggest place in my heart. It's where the story really gets going...and one word: Finnick. 

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell: This is just brilliant light-hearted chick lit at it's best. And I've you've ever had a slight obsession with a book/tv show/ band..then you will totally relate to it! 

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak: I'm not gonna lie, this book is heartbreaking. But at the same time I'm so glad I read it. And the film was a prefect adaptation too which I was so please about. 

Flashforward by Robert J Sawyer: One of the best sci-fi books I've ever read. It's so clever and thrilling and really made me think more about time, space and science. 

Maus by Art Spiegelman: This was the first Graphic Novel i'd read, and I was surprised by how much I loved it. I've always had the mind set that Comic Books aren't as good as 'proper' books, but this one opened up a whole now realm of reading material for me. 

There are so many more books that I love, and this list will probably change by next week!
