Weleda Minis

Citrus Deodorant 30ml - £5.95*
Wild Rose Creamy Body Wash 20ml - £1.95*
Lavender Body Oil 10ml - £2.95*
Calendula Face Cream 10ml - £2.45
Mini Skin Food10ml - £2.25

I was so glad to receive these Weleda mini products through the post recently. I tried Weleda when I received a bottle of body moisturiser in a past Glossybox and I really loved it.

The full range of Weleda minis are perfect for short getaways and last minute breaks. Unfortunately I won't be having any sort of break so I've been using the products on a daily basis and dreaming of far away tropical islands. Each of the items are sold separately for really reasonable prices. They are really great sizes for 'travel' items and you get a good deal of product for your money.

Each of the products smells gorgeous and I was particularly happy to receive a Lavender Body Oil as these are really great to add to a nice hot bath. I was also really interested to try out the Citrus Deodorant. I usually use one of the Dove wind-up roll ons, which cost around £5 and I've never used a fine spray like the Weleda one, but it was really lovely and made me feel nice and fresh after applying.

I would really recommend these. Even if you aren't going away travelling or on holiday they are great mini products to trial before splashing out on the full-sized product.

Wednesday Wishlist #78

Essie Spring Mini Nail Polish Collection - £16.95
Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow - £15.50
Cath Kidston Daisy Rose Make-up Bag - £12
NARS Pierre Hardy Nail Polish Duo Vertebra - £22

Can you tell I've recently had a little browse of the ASOS beauty section? There is so many great products available and it's hard to restrain myself from buying everything.

I like to sometimes feature beauty products on the Wednesday Wishlist when there's quite a few products that I want. I particularly like the Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow. I've never seen it before and I'm not sure how 'new' it is in the blogosphere but I love the packaging and I've never tried any Benefit make-up before apart from the 'They're Real' mascara.

As if I need any more nail polishes, I came across two sets that I adore. Oops. I've never tried NARS' nail polishes before but the bottle itself is more than enough to make me buy some! It's probably about time I did.

What's on your wishlist this week?

Models Own Grape Juice and Pukka Purple

Models Own Ice Neon in Pukka Purple and Fruit Pastel in Grape Juice - £5

I've wanted to try the Ice Neon and Scented Models Own polishes for absolutely ages and on a shopping trip last week I decided to pick them up as it was buy one get on half price. I managed to use my Boots points to cover the cost so I practically got them for free!

I was quite intrigued about the Ice Neon polish and once I'd had a quick scratch and sniff of the lid of the Grape Juice polish I just had to pick it up. The lid included a little scratch and sniff tab and I particularly liked the scent as it reminded me of the scented gel pens I used to use at school. I had tons of the things and they smelt so good!

I love the shade of Grape Juice but unfortunately when it's on your nails the scent doesn't really stay around for long. You can get a faint whiff but I was hoping I'd be smelling grapes all day long. Unfortunately not.

I was a bit more impressed with the Ice Neon polish in Pukka Purple. The last thing you'd expect to see in a fridge is a nail polish, but apparently the Ice Neon polish can be kept cold in the fridge to improve it's neon-ness. I really love the colour and matt finish. I'd love to try some more shades from the range as they all look really bright and colourful. I kind of played it safe with the purple as I thought it'd look nice as an accent nail alongside Grape Juice.

They're both great novelty polishes, but unfortunately they couldn't withstand the washing up test and both chipped a little. I love both shades and I'd definitely recommend them! I'm really keen to try a couple more of the scented polishes, especially the apple one.

I can't believe I spent Monday on the beach in the boiling hot sun and by Saturday it was chucking down with rain!

I spent Monday with my sister and my niece in town having a delicious lunch and a walk along the beach. We stopped and sat on the sand and Daisy had a great time throwing it all around. The week went pretty quickly and on Friday it was my sister's 23rd birthday. I can't believe my baby sister is 23, even that makes me feel old! We spent Saturday afternoon in Bristol shopping and eating delicious burgers at GBK. It was really difficult to shop in Primark on a Saturday afternoon, however I did manage to pick up a nice dress so it turned out to be quite a success.

Today I went to the car boot sale with my parents, sister and Daisy. Holly did quite well and got lots of stuff for the new baby but I only managed to get myself a book! Disappointing. Holly and I are actually hoping to do a car boot sale sometime soon. I have so much stuff to sell and having just got a new wardrobe, I've recently had a sort out. Some stuff still has the tags on, oops!

How has your week been?

Printic Instagram Prints

Printic Instagram Prints

Good news! I've discovered a new iPhone app, and I think just about every other blogger has discovered it as well! I've been looking for something to print off a few of my Instagram snaps and I came across new iPhone app Printic.

You simply download to your phone and give it access to your camera roll, then you can print off your pics to your heart's content for just $0.99 each.

The instructions are really simple to follow and delivery was relatively quick too. Payment is also easy peasy and is all done through Paypal. You can order as many photos as you wish and they arrive in a cute little envelope printed in a Polaroid style. They're the perfect size for some of my teeny photo frames and I'd really recommend the app. I will definitely be using it more in the future!

Toni & Guy Creative Extreme Hold Hairspray

Toni & Guy Creative Extreme Hold Hairspray - £6.39*

Toni & Guy recently ran a promotion on their Facebook page where you inputted your details in order to receive a free sample of their new Creative range. I put my details in as I fancied the Extreme Hold Hairspray and I was really only expecting to receive a teeny tiny product through the post but I actually received a full-sized 250ml product.

I also put Vince's details in and got him a hair gel, which was also full-sized. I was thrilled to receive a full-sized product as I've wanted to get myself a new hairspray for ages. I've tried a few bits and bobs from the new Creative range and I've really enjoyed them so was looking forward to trying out something else too.

The hairspray retails for £6.39, which for Toni & Guy, isn't too pricey. I'm sure I've mentioned this before but I always seem to have a problem with hair products leaving my hair feeling sticky or straw like but this hairspray was lovely and soft and left my hair feeling like it hadn't had anything sprayed onto it at all. It had quite a good hold, but I wouldn't call it an 'extreme hold' as it's labelled. It held for a good few hours but as it's so soft you probably need lots and lots of products to really hold your style in place for the entire day.

I really enjoyed this hairspray mainly because my hair still felt lightweight after use and that's always a big plus for me. I would definitely recommend it to others that have fine, flyaway hair.

Wednesday Wishlist #77

Topshop Tangerine Rose Bikini Top - £16, Tangerine Rose Bikini Bottoms - £10
Matalan Pleat Ombre Moulded Bikini Top - £8, Pleat Ombre Bikini Bottoms - £6
Matalan China Print Balconette Bikini Top - £6, China Print Bikini Bottoms - £5
Topshop Bouquet Triangle Bikini Top - £12

Wow was it hot at the weekend! I spent the majority of it planting in the garden or on the beach with my sister and my niece, which was lovely! The hot weather and watching the waves on the beach made me feel like swimming. It's official - I need a holiday. Unfortunately, as Vince can never get any time off, the change of us going away on holiday is very little so I can only dream. The next best thing is to go swimming at the local pool with my niece, which I will hopefully be doing during the next Bank Holiday weekend that's coming up.

I've been swooning over swimsuits this week thanks to the hot weather. There are some truly lovely ones around at the moment. I'm not quite sure what happened to mine, they might have got lost when I moved house but it's a good excuse to get a new one...if only I had somewhere hot and exotic to wear one!

Also...is anyone else completely outraged that you now have to pay for bikinis separately?
