Matalan Homeware "Haul"

Yesterday, after I picked up my make-up brushes from the Delivery Office, I popped into Matalan to check what home ware they have at the moment. And I have to say that I'd buy so many things there to decorate my room, but I had to go to school straight after so I couldn't really buy more things than there would actually fit into my bag.

So I thought, why not pick at least something small? So I chose two small things that made me feel happy and I also managed to carry them in my bag, so it was perfect.

The two things I got are a small candle in a pretty tin and a small mirror.


The candle smells like frosted blackberry and it is so amazing! I haven't lit it yet as I have no lighter at the moment, but I can't wait seeing it burning next to the window in the evenings. I also chose this candle because I was thinking of purple accents that I'd like to have in our room. After burning the candle down I'd like to keep the tin to reuse it for example to keep jewellery or other random small things in it.
The candle is on the website, and you can find it here.

And the mirror is just a really small heart shaped one, with some engraved leaves. The motive almost reminds me of a stag's head, which reminds me of Scandinavian accessoires and these remind me of Christmas. Well, I try not to be too excited about Christmas, as it is still more than a month to go, but I should definitely start buying Christmas gifts for my family. This is what I am already excited for.
And back tot he mirror, I also like the tiny chain that you can use for hanging the mirror up somewhere. First I was thinking of using the mirror in my make-up space, but it is still untouched and I just don't know how we are going to change it, so I decided to leave the mirror just now and decide where we want to hang it up once we came up with a nice place.


I totally love looking at and buying things for home and I wish I had more money to just go for lots of pretty things and I wish that our room was already repainted and that we'd already have a pretty floor and so on, but hopefully everything will slowly get better.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water | Review

Image
Today I finally decided to write a short review about the Garnier Micellar water, that many girls consider as a dupe of the Bioderma cleanser. I've been using this product for about a month or so now and I think it is about time to let you know what I, personally think about it. What information is given about the product: *good for sensitive skin * hypoallergenic * no perfume * removes make-up, cleanses, soothes * 200 uses 1) As you can see, I've used nearly half of the bottle and it says that it lasts for 200 uses. I've probably not even used it 40 times yet and it doesn't really look as if I could use it for 160 more uses. Of course, I know that this number is just an average number, but still, I think that it could be used for about 100 times, more than 200 to be honest. If I use it, then I use two small cotton pads, so I also don't use too much of the cleanser itself. It is strong, because one cotton pad takes off the make up of half of my face,

Christmas Wishlist In October?!

Image
When I was a child I used to write my wishlists for Christmas already in October. I have no idea why, but I thought it was a good thing to write down all my dream gifts as early as possible, as by Christmas I'd already forget all of them and I would remember them again when it was already too late. So, I still like to write down what I'd like to buy myself, what I'd like to put money aside for, or what I'd like to get for Christmas or my Birthday. I totally hate it when people ask me what I'd like to get and I just can't think of anything, even though there are always some small things I dream of.. Well, today I thought I could share five ideas for Christmas, that would make me extremely happy if I got them (or bought myself). 1) I would like to have a new bag for College. I have one at the moment, the GABS one, but it is too colourful to wear it with every outfit, which totally annoys me. But this is my only big bag, and I need a big one because I nee

Ziaja Body Lotion Review

Image
Hi again! A few weeks ago I already posted a photo on my Instagram ( which is here ), where I showed the 4 Ziaja body lotions I got to try and when I saw their generous packaging my first thought was: When will I use these all? But I was very happy about that because I got to find out which one is my favourite and which one I like using more on certain days etc. Thanks to the big choice I can also stay away from buying even more body lotions, which is great! ( I'm so into body lotions, it's crazy) The 3 bottles are 400ml each and they are from the Cocoa butter , Goat's milk and Natural Olive range.  The Coconut lotion comes in a 200ml packaging, so it's good for taking it on holidays or on a sleepover etc.  To give you an idea of these products I will quickly talk you through them. Let's start with the Olive range: It moisturises your skin thoroughly and leaves it silky soft and smooth. What is also great about it, is that it can even be use
