The first thing I want to mention about this gift set is that the packaging is beautiful, but then again, Baylis & Harding always have the most beautiful packaging. This gift set contains a body polisher, a 250g tub of bath crystals (when I opened these and the scent blew me away), a 500ml bottle of shower crème, and a 500ml bottle of body lotion. Pamper yourself, set the scene with some candles. Jump in the shower or run a nice hot bath and relax. After, finish with the body lotion. What a perfect way to spend a Valentine's evening with some self love. This can be purchased from Amazon and Debenhams. This has an RRP of £18.

Itsatashathing: Autumn favourites so far (collab with The-Finer Things In Life)

Hi everyone,

So it's time for my monthly collaboration with the lovely Dion from The-Finer Things In Life! We have decided to do our Autumn favourites.

So, so far this Autumn my favourites have been:

M.A.C cosmetics Matchmaster SPF 15 foundation:


MAC, SPF 15, flowers
Matchmaster foundation

I know I have mentioned this as a holy grail makeup item in a previous blog post and it truly is. It's one of the only foundations I can get to match my skin tone (shade 1.0). Not only that, the coverage is amazing! It's buildable as well. It starts of as a medium coverage but it's super easy to build it up to a full coverage foundation. They are a little pricey at £29 a bottle but it's worth every penny.

Up next is the Bobbi Brown blush in Pale Pink:

Bobbi Brown: Pale pink blush

I have recently rekindled my love for this little blush. It's in the shade Pale Pink and again flatters my skin tone well. It gives me a subtle wash of colour on my cheeks and looks so natural. It has a slight shimmer to it but is mostly matte. These are £19.50 and again is so worth it.

My next favourite is M.A.C Cosmetics mineralize Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle:

MAC Cosmetics, flowers
Mineralize Skinfinish: Soft & Gentle
I know there are many reviews about these and I only recently purchased my first one. There are worth the hype and the £24. It is honestly the best highlighter I have used so far and I'm really sad that I have only just joined the hype. It's amazingly pretty and you can put as little or as much as you want on to create your desired look. It gives my skin the perfect glow to chase those cold days away.

My last beauty favourite is the Avon Solutions Truly Radiant daily moisturiser SPF 15:

SPF 15, Avon, flowers
Truly Radiant moisturiser
I couldn't find this moisturiser online sadly so it must be discontinued, however, they do have a Solutions Hydra beyond moisturiser at £3.75. It's a lovey moisturiser, very lightweight and I have really noticed a difference in how my skin looks. My skin seems to have a bit more of a glow to it. I absolutely love Avon products and they are amazing value for money.

I also have two non-beauty related favourites.

The first one is Galaxy smooth milk chocolate:


I have been loving this for a couple of weeks now. I have always liked Galaxy chocolate, in particular the cookie crumble bar. It's been a favourite of my boyfriends as well, so we've been buying the big bars to share.

My final favourite is a Netflix program. I am loving Reign! I won't say much about it other than I find it so gripping. I really recommend it, sadly there's only 3 series and I am on the last one.

What's your Autumn favourite at the moment?

Itsatashathing: Would you rather beauty tag

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd do another tag today. I love doing these and I always love to read them, so here goes.

1.Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up or Nice hair and no make-up?

A: I think I would rather go out with nice hair and no make-up. I can never get my hair right so if this was the one opportunity I'd have to have perfect hair, I'd take it.

2.Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out?

A: I think have my all my eyelashes fall out. I'd just where fake ones to make up for not having them.

3.Would you rather be forced to shop at only MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?

A: I'd pick MAC as we don't have Sephora in the UK. 

4.Would you rather wear lipgloss/lipliner look or 80's perm?

A: I think I'd go for 80's perm as I've always wanted curly hair.

5.Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush?

A: This is difficult! I'm just going to go with overdone blush. I don't know why but I think I'd rather that than a obvious foundation line.

6.Would you rather wear MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public?

A: I'm going to go MC Hammer pants to save everyone from my translucent legs.

7.Would you rather have a bad orange-y spray tan or really weird tan lines that can't be covered?

A: I think I'd rather the weird tan lines. I don't really fake tan so it's hard for me to choose. 

8.Would you rather have a bad haircut or bad hair color?

A: Bad haircut. I've never coloured my hair before so I'd rather go with the haircut.

9.Would you rather have youtube or twitter taken away forever?

A: Probably the hardest question in this tag. I'm going to go with Twitter. I'd still have Facebook so that makes up for that but nothing really makes up for YouTube.

10. Would you rather give up using make-up brushes or mascara? 

A: I'm going to go with giving up using make-up brushes. I don't think I could live without using mascara.

Hope you enjoyed reading this. If you have a go yourself leave a link below so I can have a read of what you would rather.
