Most Used Products Of 2016

I don't think I really made too many new beauty discoveries in 2016, certainly not compared to previous years anyway. For me, my priorities changed and I'd much rather have gone out and bought clothes & essentials for my unborn child, or more practical items, than lots of treats for myself (that's not to say I didn't every now & again!). For me, 2016 was more about discovering what worked for me beauty wise and then sticking with that, so there aren't many new launches as such within this post, though a few were new to me personally this year. So here's my run down of my most reached for products throughout 2016.

7 Things I'm Looking Forward To In 2017

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope you all had a great time celebrating last night, whatever you did, and you're not paying too much for it this morning! As you can imagine it was a bit more of a sober affair for me, just having a nice evening with my friends & husband, but it was still lovely.

I've seen loads of "Goals for 2017" posts popping up in my feed over the last few days. I did consider writing once of those myself, but I always end up looking back at the end of the year & realising I've barely done anything I set out to do, and my goals always end up being really samey. I think also with so many big changes coming up in my life this year already, I don't want to push myself into committing to anything else - I'm just going to take each day as it comes. Instead I decided to write a post about the things I know will be happening this year and that I absolutely can't wait for. 2017 is gonna kick 2016's ass!!

The Star Gift For Skincare Lovers

Everyone seems to be going nuts about the half price Soap & Glory gift set this week but, whilst I have to admit it does look pretty good, there was another star gift that caught my eye in Boots this week. Since introducing Liz Earle into my skincare routine at the start of the year, I've fallen in love with her products, so when I saw The Botanist's Cabinet reduced from £60 to £30 I had to grab it as a pre-Christmas treat to myself!

The Lifestyle Gift Guide

I've had so much fun trawling through the internet putting this gift guide together - it's actually become more of a bit of a wishlist for myself too! So if you're looking for a bit of last minute inspiration (it's not that long after all!) then I hope you find this guide useful, with 30 different lifestyle options to choose from.

HUGE Beauty Gift Guide

So I'm back with my first beauty related blog post in a very long time, and as we're getting close to the big day (three weeks, I can't believe it!), I thought what better post to do than a gift guide. I absolutely love reading them and I've had a lot of fun researching, even stealing some ideas for myself! I've gone all out this year, with 75 of what I think are the best gifts on the market for the beauty obsessed person in your life (or yourself of course!). I've covered a range of gift types, and price ranges, so hopefully you'll find this useful.
