At this moment in time,  I am sitting in my room bundled up, with my fairy lights on,  candles burning and  feeling pretty cosy.  What makes it 10x better is that I just got my hands on my Bath & Body Works candles, you guys know how much a love candles so I thought I would share a mini haul. 

I live in the UK so this is the first time I have got my hands on any B&B Works candles, I asked my Auntie Diane who was on holiday in Florida to bring me some back. After seeing Zoe's massive haul I had to get my hands on some!
I got 3 minis for $12 and 2 medium candles for $20!  I obviously couldn't smell them so I wasn't going to get the big ones just in case, also I can't really burn them for a long as I think I may be allergic haha I just can't stop sneezing, nevertheless, I still burn them!

These are the scents I have:

  'Caramel Pumpkin Swirl' 
This is probably the sweetest out the set, I love sweet scents and this is verging on sickly! However, I do love the smell of Caramel and that is what this is, I can't really smell the pumpkin that much as the  caramel takes over! Burning this candle for a short time does the job as it is pretty strong!

'Pumpkin Pecan Waffle'
I loveeeee this candle, Again I can't really smell the pumpkin but you can definitely smell the pecan, it smells like home baking with a hint of spice.   This is my level of sweetness and I am in love! It is not too overpowering however it leaves a nice smells hours after.  This is such a win!!

'Pumpkin Apple' 
This has to be my favourite, it literally smells like spiced apples. It is still quite a sweet scent with a hint of spice.  It is such a fresh Christmassy scent and I think it will be perfect for coming in after a super long day, getting all cosy and snug. I am so happy that I like it as I actually got the medium sized one too!

'Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin'
This is the one I was most excited about, this is 100% a Christmas candle, and just screams Christmas!! I find a lot of Cinnamon candles quite strong and overpowering, however, I feel like this is a lot sweeter, as the name says! This will be a definite win at Christmas time, for sure!!

YES TO LUSH AND YES TO AUTUMN! Together they just make a perfect pair! When I saw they had finally released their Halloween/Autumn range I had to have a nosey! I was a tiny bit disappointed at my store, however, I ended up getting the best trio. 

The first bath bomb I picked up was Autumn Leaf, it drew me in with its colour! It is so pretty and bright that I knew that I would be bathing in a rainbow bath, and as you can see it didn't disappoint!  I love how the colours represent the changing season and go perfectly with the scent, which is very fresh but earthy. It is not my usual scent I would go for but having used this in the bath it set me up for the Autumn ( not that I needed to be lol)

Next up is Lord of Misrule, I picked this primarily for the fact it has a crown on it aha ;) However, I really liked the smell, I would it is has a little of sweetness in it but mostly it is an earthy, spiced scent.  It is probably my favourite out of the three I picked up!! The colours when you first dropped the bomb in the bath is insane, it is my favourite colour of pink, however, when it was done fizzing it become a dark purple and reminds me of a witches caldron or red wine. This made my skin feel very moisturised and soft, as you can see it is now part of the Christmas range so I might have to repurchase!

Lastly, I got this cute little Monster's Ball, This has to be my favourite so far, I love the amazingly sweet, floral scent that  arose from the bomb. The colours in the bath at first were a cute pink and blue, they then mixed together and created a pretty purple shade. It contains Cocoa butter which made my skin super moisturised afterwards!!

Like I mentioned, my store didn't have the full range, however, it is all on the websites! I was annoyed they didn't have the Pumpkin or Boo as they  would have been too cute!!
They also have Goth Fairy and Sparkly Pumpkin but I don't do well with Lush glitter so I decided not to buy them!!!
They also have their Christmas range out now which I can't wait to have a proper look!

Let me know if you have bought anything from Lush? What are your favourite Lush Products?

Christmas post in October, yes it is true!! I am a massive lover of Christmas so when I saw through Emily's blog there was a blogger Christmas gift swap, I knew I HAD to do it! Buying gifts for people just makes me so happy and the chance to meet other bloggers is even better. 

The whole idea is that you get a blogging partner, make a budget (if you want), buy a gift, wrap it all pretty and then send it away! Basically like Santa! 

All details are on Viola's blog post, so make sure you give it a read! :) 

With just 74 sleeps to go, the countdown is nearly on and this just makes me so excited so much so, I currently have Michael Buble's Christmas album on.. yess I know!! ;)

Let me know if you are excited as I am? What do you want this year? 

Are you going to take part?

Autumn has finally hit and I couldn't be more excited, it is my favourite time of year, I have been involved in so many Twitter chats the last few weeks and I can tell I am not the only one.  I love the colours, the smells and I love the weather. I have been waiting for this post for such a long time so as Autumn is finally here I thought I would share my Autumn Essentials.

I am going to jump right into my makeup favourites as I seem to have gathered a lot this month. 

NYX Control Freak Eyebrow Gel 

I actually bought this at the same time as my Zoella Sweet Inspirations range but it just got thrown to the bottom of my pile, until now. I don't know why I haven't used it before, I obviously use it after I put on a powder colour to my brows. It holds the shadow and gives my eyebrows a nice shape!!! 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade

First of all, I was super surprised that this was only £15, for some reason I thought it was going to be more! It gives my brows a more defined/strong look, for days I feel more daring! I was scared that it would be hard use as it is creamier than anything I have used on eyebrows. However, I have found it easy, because, it is so creamy it just glides on. I have the shade 'Taupe' and find it is a perfect match. 

Benefit Hoola Mini Bronzer

This has been my recent September fav, Boots suckered me in by having this at the till point. I have never used Hoola before so I thought a mini would be perfect to try. I will say I find it very close to Nars Laguna and as you know that is my fav!! However, it has been a great addition to my everyday day makeup and the size of the product is great to pop in makeup-up bag. 

Mac Cinderella Beauty Powder - Mystery Princess

Like you can see I have had this for a while, I have loved using it as a highlight, however, recently I have been loving it as a powder. I just think it gives my face a really nice glow, I have hated having a matte face recently so this is perfect. This is one of my favourite products I have bought and it just keeps getting better. 

Kylie Cosmetics - Maliboo

I like to welcome number 5 of my Kylie fam, I know another nude but I swear it is different from the rest. It is slightly cooler-toned tone, and less orangey than Exposed. It is very subtle and is perfect for my skin, once again Kylie has nailed another colour, I have been obsessed! 

Yes To Carrots Pampering Conditioner 

If you don't know I recently dyed my hair so the quality and texture are completely different. I have been finding that I need to buy more products for dry hair. I have heard so many amazing things about Yes To.. products that I thought I would give a go. I did buy a shampoo but I am not that impressed, however, this Yes To Carrots Conditioner is amazing. It makes my hair feel super moisturising and soft and smells amazing! 

Beautiful Disaster - Jamie McGuire
I have read more and more books lately however I always stick to buying the same kind of books, so I went browsing in my friend's house and found this book. It follows Abby in her university, she is the good girl until she meets Travis and her life becomes that little bit more exciting and dangerous!  I haven't finished it but I am really enjoying it!

Rose Gold Addidas Stan Smiths
Now I swore to myself I wouldn't cave into the hype of Stan Smiths but when I was browsing at Duty-Free before Paris and saw these beauties I had to get them.  They have the gorgeous Rose Gold heel and the front detailing. They are super comfy and work with every outfit. I wish I got them sooner but Autumn is a perfect time to throw away the sandals,  and give your feet some warmth without going full out with boots!!

Let me know what your favs where this month?  Any good books that you would recommend?
Hope you are having a fab day!!
Love Emma
