Gifts From Across The Pond


So for my first official post back I thought I would show you what my sister brought back from the states for me. She works over there on the Disney Cruises which is prime opportunity for me to give her my shopping lists of those well sought after products we can't get over here. If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen a sneak peek already. Now onto the good stuff...










So of course she had to get me some sweets and chocolate, I asked her to find the Birthday Cake M&M's as they just sounded amazing (which they are!). She also got me Hershey's chocolate in Cookies'n'Creme and Candy Cane which I can't wait to try. Beauty wise she picked me up a NYX Butter Gloss to add to my growing collection and a Sephora Lipstick which I'm excited for as it's my first Sephora product! Also the Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation and Maybellines Color Tattoo Pure Pigment in Breaking Bronze, both of which we can't get in the UK. Finally for makeup she got me some Maybelline Baby Lips. From Bath & Body Works I got 4 Anti-Bac Pocket Hand Gels and a cute holder which is a mouse in a tutu, who couldn't love that? Also I got their Ultra Shea Body Creme in Twisted Peppermint and a Car Air Freshener Visor Clip with 2 refills in Twisted Peppermint and Pumpkin Pecan Waffles. And finally she couldn't work on the Disney Cruises and not bring me anything Disney back! So she got me a pin of my favourite ever Disney chatacter, Marie from The Aristocats and a Olaf pen!

Please comment and let me know what you would like to see a review or more detailed post on.

American Beauty Goodies


Last month my cousin went to Vegas as she turned 21 this year and although I really wished I could of gone as well the next best thing I could think of is she could get me some beauty goodies! I gave her a list of a few things I really wanted to try and she managed to get me these beauts. Bless her she went round every Sephora she could find just to see if they had the stuff I was after.

I asked for the Covergirl Lash Blast as it has always been one of those cult beauty items that I've never got the chance to try and this was my chance so I grabbed it. I can't wait to start using it and will have a review up once I've given it a chance. The next thing she got me was a EOS Lip Balm. Again another cult beauty product that is hard to get hold of in the UK although we have our own version in the Balmi balms you can pick up in Boots but they just aren't the same so excited to give this a try. And lastly she picked me up a Maybelline Color Whispers lipstick. These have been massive in the US and after watching countless amounts of youtube videos from gurus from across the pond rave about these I knew I wanted to try them out. Look out for review posts on all 3 products soon.

American Food Haul


I have a mad love for the USA! I love their culture, lifestyle and most importantly FOOD! So when me and my mum found out there was an online store which sold food from across the pond we were so excited. We have a Cyber Candy where we live but I haven't been there for a couple of years as it's a bit out of the way from town and there's no parking by it. So when me and mum found another site which has two stand alone stores in Guildford and Aldershot we were more then ready to get in the car and visit them. So today I thought i'd show you what I purchased.

Dr Pepper Cherry | Arizona Lite Half Iced Tea Half Lemonade | Coca-Cola Vanilla |
 Arizona Peach Iced Tea | Welch's Grape Soda

Stars & Stripes Cotton Candy | Tostitos Blue Corn Tortilla Chips
