I still can't believe Zoella Lifestyle is a thing, a beauty range was one thing but a home and  lifestyle range is another level. I am still so proud of her so I couldn't pass another opportunity to pick up some of her new range. After a few struggles of finding stores that sell it and delivery issues, I finally got my hands on it. The whole range is gorgeous and right up my street, I wish I could off bought the whole range!


 'Naps Fix Everything Cushion' - £12.00
The quote, first of all,  just suits me perfectly, I love it!! The colours are also so pretty, grey, white and baby pink are my all time fav combinations, I think they work so well together. The back of the cushion is super soft, and would be great to lay on.
However, I will say that I am slightly disappointed with the size and the front. For some reason, after watching Zoe's Apartment Tour I thought it was going to be bigger and maybe better quality. The back is so much more comfortable than the front which isn't a massive deal, I just thought it was going to be softer. Nevertheless, I do love it and it is a great addition to my room!


'Pottering Around Decorative Storage Pots' - £10
How cute are these?!?! I actually just bought new storage pots but they were too cute not to buy. I love the quirky saying and the colours are two of my favourites. I am keeping the 'Pick Me' pot on my dresser with, as you can see,  my Kylie fam and I am putting the 'Blooming Marvellous' pot beside my bed to keep my new pencils  ;)
You could use these for many things, keeping plants, pens etc They are super handy and fit perfectly with my room!!!



'On My Travels Backpack' -£50
YESS I GOT IT!! I GOT THE BACKPACK. When I saw Zoe posting this on Snapchat I fell in love. I have been looking for a new backpack so this was perfect, the price, however, was a little bit off-putting. Nonetheless, I decided to go for it as you do get a few bits inside. 
'Write On Point Pencil Collection'
  I love the adorable sayings and the colours, they fit perfectly in my new pots beside my bed!
'The Key To Inspiration Keyring'
I probably wouldn't have bought this but I do love the rose gold and I
love the message! 
 'Warm Hands Travel Mug'
I love this, I have been looking at buying one of these so it is a win-win, I love how it is a screw lid so I won't have to worry it spilling and again the saying is too cute. 
The bag itself, like I said, is beaut and I honestly can't wait to use it (Although I don't wait to ruin it! :o)

Overall, I absolutely love the whole range,  I wanted some of the candles but I feel that I have to go into Boots or Superdrug to give them a smell. 
What I love the most is how simple the branded is, I was worried the name 'Zoella' would be splash everywhere but they have kept it very simple with a 'Z'. 
I am very proud and I hope Zoe keeps growing her profile!

Have you bought anything from Zoella Lifestyle, Let me know what you think??
Have a great day! 
Love Emma

Who is excited about the fact Zoe brought out a full Christmas range? ME!!! 
I knew when Zoe mentioned the scent was Gingerbread, I had to get my hands on whatever I could!

I want to start off by saying a big thank you to Zoella Beauty for featuring my picture below on their Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, I can't quite get over the amount of people that actually seen it.  I also want to thank Zoe's fans for the amazing feedback and comments on the picture, I have had nothing but love on my profiles since then! 
I am very grateful and have been itching to upload this post since then. ENJOY!!



I firstly got  'Secret Scenta Mini Mist'- It contains 4 mini body mists.
 'Blissfull Mistful' 
'Lets Spritz'
'Sweet Inspirations' 
'Bake My Day'
They are perfect to pop in your bag for your everyday make-up bag  or travelling. I took 'Sweet Inspirations' with me to Paris. I haven't tried 'Lets Spritz' or  'Blissfull Mistful' so it is a perfect size for a tester.   I'm also OBSESSED with 'Bake My Day'. I honestly see myself wearing it every day in the next couple of months. I may have to purchase the full sized mist!!

I also got 'Let's Go Places' - It includes :-
'Ginger Cream' - Body Cream
'Shower Glaze'- Shower Gel
'Hungry Hands'- Hand Cream
A Shower Lilly
Honestly guys the scent is insane, it is the same is 'Bake My Day' which is a Gingerbread! It is very fragmented and reminds me a lot of Costas Gingerbread Creamy Coolers. It is Christmas in a bottle.
The whole set is perfect, you have Ginger Cream which is super moisturising, Shower Glaze which makes bath/shower time a Christmas dream and my favourite Hungry Hands, I swear I could eat my hands. AND can we talk about the cute packaging, it is like a mini suitcase that can be turned into the cutest storage, the colours are also my fave combo.

I am so happy and proud of Zoe on her new Christmas range, I can't wait to use it fully in the weeks to come. I am also so excited about Zoella Lifestyle, you best believe it will feature on here soon.
Hope you are having a wonderful day!
Love Emma

Wow, how fast is the year going! The first few days of this month have been a bit bland, how rubbish has the weather been, like come on, it is July!!! Anyway, July is an exciting month, my 21st on Tuesday and Beyonce on Thursday, so I can't really complain! 
I should be uploading a birthday haul so keep an eye out either Tuesday or Wednesday, but for now here are my June Favourites! :)

Starting with none beauty favourites, I'm not sure if I've ever mention my love for Gossip Girl on my blog so I thought I would give it a mention! 
I went through a massive obsession with it and then kinda stopped! I watched it on and off, but this month I raced through Season 5 and 6 and sadly finished it! 
I feel like if you are a super girly girl then you would love this programme! 
I kinda wanna watch it all again, one, because it was amazing and two, since going to New York it is so weird to see places I've been! 
I will miss watching it ALOT, but I'm still Just waiting to find my Nate Archibald! ;)

I feel like I'm so late to be posting these albums in my favourites but I just recently purchased them and have been listening to them non-stop! Number one is Adele's 25 album. Her voice is insane and her music is incredible! If I want to have a chill out session, this is perfect.
 Number Two is  Beyoncé - Lemonade! Her voice is also insane but I am so excited that I am actually seeing Queen B in a few days! This music has been perfect for when I want to jam and have a good dance! 
Some days I can jam to Beyoncé and then I can jam to Adele. It's the Best of Both Worlds! 
My favourite song is A Million Years ago, that just hits major feels, and Daddy's Lesson because it is so catchy! 



A new purchase make-up wise this month, was these Real Techniques Brushes! From what I gather they are only sold at SuperDrug but I could be wrong. After getting my Zoeva brushes I swore I wasn't going to buy any more brushes  but after I heard great things about these,  I bought them on a wimp. 
I will always say that I feel Real Technique brushes are highly  underrated and are some of the best! And these are no different! 
The 'Fanning' brush is perfect to apply highlight on my cheek bones, and both the Sculpting Brush  And the Setting Brush are great for contour! Paired with the Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit, they have been a great addition to my collection! 

I have also been loving my Naked 2 palette, I got it at Christmas(what I got here)  and I'm starting to really use it now! It has a lot of great Browns for a smokey eye but what I love is the shimmer shades! I have been reaching for this palette a lot through June! My favourites have been 'Snakebite' and 'BootyCall' which is a gorgeous highlight. 

My beauty favourites this month HAVE to be Zoe's new range, I did a full post about it (here).  The little purse which has been perfect to help motivate me to save money for next year and the Sweet Inspirations body mist ,which I have gotten complimented on a lot when I wear it, have been my ultimate fav out the collection and had to make it on this post! 

Last and not least has to be a personal favourite, and that is pushing myself more. I tend to stick to my comfort zone and sometimes that doesn't get me anywhere. 
I went to a family party where for the first time ever the dog Leo was there. He was always put in the kennels but I wanted to get over my fear and be in the same house as him, it ended up being completely fine and I had been worrying over nothing. 
I also went to my first ever Blog Meet-up hosted by Ruth , meeting different bloggers and just having a good chat was something I would never do. It was great fun and I ended up meeting the lovely Jade (blog here). If anyone has any meet-ups in Edinburgh let me know!! 
And the biggest moment for me this month was putting a deposit down for Americamp 2017, I had wanted to work at a Summer camp this year but I just wasn't ready. But my deposit is down for next year plus my application has been started. I am LEGIT so excited for next year!! So fingers crossed!  


Let me know what you have been loving, and if you have any fun plans ahead?

I have never been more excited about on of Zoe's new beauty range, I think it is mostly to do with the colour scheme of the whole thing. She has used some of my favourites colour combination so it would be rude not to support Zoe's new products. 
As an extra bonus post, as I am too excited, I thought I would share what I ordered. 




 The first item that I was most excited about is the 'Life is Sweet Beauty Bag'. 
I am currently saving for Summer 2017 and I've been needing somewhere to save the cash, I thought this bag would be perfect. 
I adore the frill round the edge of the bag and I think it just adds a cute touch. I also love the colour, I am massive pastel lover so this pastel blue is just too cute. 
The quote on the front is a bonus and I hope it will motivate me to save my money.

Next up is the Sweet Inspirations Body Mist. I haven't tried any of Zoe's body mists but with the new range and new scent I thought I would give it a go. 
First of all, the bottle itself is so pretty, I love the palm patterns that you can see through the bottle,  and,  like the rest of the collection the colours are gorgeous. It will fit perfectly with my dresser!
I think Zoe describes the scent well in her video but to me in smells like summer. 
Its a lovely sweet fresh scent, It reminds me a lot of sugared almonds which I used to love! The smell lasted a long time and I could smell it throughout the day! 

 The Bath Latte Bath and Shower Milk was something I really wanted to try, I love a good soak in the bath but I also love a quick shower so its fab that I can use this product in both situations! Its the same scent again so I loveee it!! I will say that for some reason this is my least favourite packaging, maybe because it has no pink in it? But I do love the idea of the milk bottle.
It created a great amount of bubbles for my bath but it also left my skin feeling lovely and soft.

Lastly, is the Sugar Dip Bath Salts, this is the only product I actually haven't tried yet. I am excited to use this as some days,  I don't want to have a bath with all the bubbles and baths bombs but still feel relaxed and clean! These bath salts just make the bath smell nice which I think will be perfect for these days!  I want to point out I am in love with the packaging, (the colour, the shape, the font) its very pleasing for the eye!!!

A BIG CONGRATS to Zoe and team for the launch of the Sweet Inspirations collection, I am sure it will be a success! At the same time I ordered my third 'Scrubbing Me Softly' Body Scrub as it is my favourite product!

*I have realised that most of the products I linked have actually sold out, I purchased them on FeelUnique but Super Drug may still have some in stock!

Let me know if you have bought anything from the range and what you think of it?

Happy Father Day all Fathers out there!! Big love to my dad!!! Have a blast!!!
Today I thought I would share my handbag essentials!! I have always loved watching 'What's in My Bag' videos on Youtube, it might be because I am a nosy person but I find it so interesting. I always find that you can find a lot about a person from what is their bag.



Number one. Make-up bag!!! I will walks carry my make-up bag with me wherever I go!! It's my holy grail and I can't leave without it! I did a blog post about what is in my make-up bag! (here).

Number Two. Purse!! Again I cannot leave the house without my purse!!! I feel lost without it! I recently purchased this purse from Cath Kidston. Its the Painted Daisy Folded Zip Wallet I am in love with it, the colours are perfect for the summer. It has quite a few pocket areas which makes it is super handy. 

Number Three. headphones. What else can you do when you are sitting on the bus in your own, but listen to music. I have to have headphones. Again I feel lost without it!! Journeys are always slow and boring so they are a must.. These are just  Apple Standard headphones! 

Number Four and Five. Body spray and Hand cream. This Victoria Secret Pink All over Body mist  is the smell of summer. It makes me feel so summery, so having it in my bag helps me stay fresh. Hand cream is also a must. I've mention it in a few posts but I love to carry Hand cream with me. It helps to moisturise my hand as well as keeping my nails strong. It doesn't have an over powering scent so it it to put it on in public. 

Lastly Number Six. My diary. I find it is very useful jotting down my work schedule or date for the diary. This diary is special as my parents gave me it as a Christmas pressing last year. It is so pretty and what make it better it lasts for ever. 

Hope you having a great day, like I said I have a few travel/ holiday ideas, so stay tuned?
Let me know what is in your bag?

Hey m'lovelies. How has everyone been? Thank you to anyone who donated to Cancer Research, We smashed our target as well as our time for the Race For Life, Well done if you participated.
 Now that the Race is over and done with it is all steam ahead for my summer holidays. The next few weeks will be a lot about my hols so prepare yourself ;)

One thing that is essential for me during the summer is FAKE TAN. I have super fair skin and rarely tan. I thought I would share what I use to help get the perfect tanned look. 

           

The number one product I use is Fake tan. For the first time, I am using St Tropez Bronzing Mousse. I have always used St Moriz but this year I thought I would go all out.  It is a bit pricey but for the quality it is extremely worth it. 
You will need to exfoliate your whole body before to help keep the tan on. I haven't photographed it but I use a normal tanning mitt to apply the tan. Make sure it is applied evenly so there are no streaks. I tend to have a few mirrors in my room so I can see right round my body. 
I really love St Tropez, it doesn't have a strong smell at all and it applies so easily. I have had the tan on for few days and although I have had baths and showers it is still visible. It is very long lastly which will be perfect whilst I am on holiday. 
I picked it up at Boots, but any Chemist/Drugstore will definitely have it.  

The St Tropez Instant Glow Body lotion is not a must have but I find it very helpful. If I do not want to spend time with the tanning mousse, have't got time or just want a quick bronzed up I reach for this. Is gives you a tan right away without having to wait. I have noticed because this is a lotion it comes off quite easily, this is not a major problem as I can just reapply. 
If I have already used my bronzing mousse, I normally will use this on areas that I feel get washed the most ie face or hands. Applying this to either, is really handy to brighten and top up my tan. 
What I love about St Tropez products is that they are infused with Vitamin E to protect and repair the skin. It is always nice to know that you are not damaging your skin. 

Getting the perfect tan is important but I thought I would share what I use in combination to get a perfect tanned face. Using fake tan on your face I find instantly makes it look much better and healthier. I veer away for a very heavy make-up look and use a BB cream. BB creams are very useful in the summer anyway. 
I use Garnier Miracle Skin Protector BB cream. I have it in the shade Light however it is quite dark. It is also rather thick so I will use a tiny about of Nars Sheer Glow too thin it down. It covers any blemishes without  being heavy. It is the ideal shade,base and consistency for a great Tan. It is also has a good SPF which is makes is suitable in very hot days. 

The last product I use is Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer. I have mention before how much I love this stuff. The lightest shade is again too dark for everyday but using it with a tan is a winning combination.  If you have ever used the concealer you will know it has shimmer through it which adds to the glow of your face. It has different moisturizing ingredients which will prevent your skin drying up in the sun. I would highly recommend this for those who have darker skin.   

Hope this helped. Let me know what you use
for a perfect tan? Have you any tips?
Also let know what other holiday related posts,
you would like to see? 
Love Emma
