Pinterest Post #12 - Easter

As you all probably know, pinterest is full of things to make and bake and with it coming up to Easter this weekend I thought I'd share with you a few Easter ideas and treats. You can find more that I've pinned on my Easter pinterest board, but here are my top five.


Candles in Egg Shells - This looks like such a good idea especially for Easter, painting the egg shells also could make a cute display of different colours as a centerpiece for an Easter meal.

Easter Chick Cupcakes - I love baking but I don't think I'd have the patience to be able to make something this detailed, it almost looks too good to eat though!

Easter Bunny Cake - Now this is my kind of cake, whoever thought of this design for a cake is just pure genius. I'd love to try and bake this and I think children would be pretty entertained with this too.

Pom-Pom Easter Bunny - This could be a cute Easter gift to give someone who maybe doesn't like/or want chocolate for Easter, plus it's handmade which is also nice to give.

Bird's Nest Bites - These look much easier to make, and I love the cuteness of them looking so much like bird nests. Plus you don't actually need to bake them which makes them easier and quicker too.

What are your Easter plans?

2015 Beauty Wishlist

If you follow my blog you may know that I usually like to post a 'wish list' of some sort every month. So with it now being January, the start of 2015!! I thought I'd make a list of some things that i'd quite like to purchase this year, I know that there's no way that I'll be buying every single one of these products - but I can dream, right?



1. Real Techniques 301 Flat Contour Brush - These have been spoken about quite a lot recently in the blogging community, I absolutely adore the rose gold brushes the most out of the new collection and I think a contour brush is next on my make-up brush list.


2. Sleek Makeup Brow Kit - I've wanted a brow kit now for quite some time but I've never been sure which one to go for, at the minute I just tend to use a Rimmel eyebrow pencil which does the job but sometimes can feel a little 'cakey' and this little set looks like something I could try next!


3. Sleek Makeup Face Contour Kit - I remember when I first saw a review on this set some time last year and it's been on my wish list for some time but I've never gotten around to actually trying it.


4. Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Lipstick in No. 13 Peach Passion - I don't own anything by 'YSL' and being on a student budget it would be quite the dream to own one of their lipsticks, and how lovely is this shade?!


5. Mac Lipstick in Ruby Woo - I'd say mac lipsticks tend to be some of the most popular lipsticks in the blogging world, I only own the one but that's enough to know I want to broaden my collection and 'ruby woo' is such a great shade!


6.Origins Clear Improvement Facial Mask - I've tried a sample of this face mask and absolutely loved it! I think a little goes quite a long way and I think it should do for the price - which is partly why I haven't got around to purchasing the full-sizes version just yet.


7. Una Brennan Superfacialist Salicylic Cleansing Wash - I've never tried anything by Una Brennan before but I've heard a lot of good things about the brand so hopefully this might be my first purchase by them.


8. Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub - I've used this body scrub before and think it has to be my absolute favourite! It smells delicious and I'm not getting on well with the one I have at the moment because it's just too oily so I might have to go back to my favourite!


9. Soap and Glory Fab-Pore 2-in-1 Facial purifying mask and peel - I've not actually heard much about this product before but it sounded quite good to me and I tend to get on with the soap and glory products so it could be quite a good find.


10. Revlon Colourstay Concealer - I don't tend to use concealer much these days but just lately I've been thinking about using it again because of my pale winter skin (boo!) and although I've not tried this concealer before I have tried the foundation which is one of my favourites so hopefully it's just as good.


11. Revlon Lash Potion Mascara - I for some reason tend to run out of mascara quicker than any other makeup product and I more often than not like to try a new one each time so maybe this could be the next one.


12. Vaseline Spray and Go moisturiser - I almost bought this product last year but I held back because I have waaaay too many moisturisers and body butters already but maybe this year I'll get to try it - it seems like such a great lazy way to apply it too!


13. Yankee Candle in Sweet Apple - I'm not sure if 'sweet apple' would be a bit too christmasy for any time of the year but I've smelt this flavour and it smells amazing so I had to add it to the list.


14. Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir Candle - Last but not least, a Jo Malone candle would be an absolutely amazing treat to myself but at £40 for a candle I'm not sure that I'll actually make this purchase, but as I said, we can all dream!


What's on your beauty wishlist for 2015?
