End Of The Year Wish List

Hey lovelies!
I know this seems like quite a long and pricey wish list but these are products that are also featured on my Christmas List or are presents I know I'm getting - ahead of the game, I know. 

1. Origins Drink Up Mask - £22. I've been dying to purchase this as I got a tester for this and fell in love with how amazing it works and how wonderful it smells! Also a perfect mask for winter when your skin loses it's summer, healthy glow!
2. Amie Morning Clear Facial Wash - £4.95. I really need a new face wash and this is all full of natural ingredients - perfect for sensitive, young skin!
3. Estee Lauder Pure Colour Eyeshadow Duo in 'Raisins'- £23. This looks like a gorgeous eyeshadow duo that has been praised from the likes of Tanya Burr and Zoella.
4. Amie Skin Shield Moisturiser - £5.95. Yet again, I need a new moisturiser and this contains SPF 15 which for me is now a major must for my face products.
5. Lush Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser - £6.35. I want to try a product which is very gentle and contains natural products, I also got recommended this by my friend so I'm dying to give this go.
6. Too Faced La Creme Color Drenched Lip Cream in 'Marshmallow Bunny' and 'Razzle Dazzle Rose' - £18.00. These colours are just gorgeous and I don't own many lipsticks so I'm hoping to branch out.
7. St Ives Apricot Gentle Scrub - £2.14. This scrub is made for sensitive skin and being as my skin is super sensitive I'm eager to get my hands on this so I can stop using scrubs that are super harsh to my skin, and do more harm than good.
8. Bumble and Bumble Leave In Conditioner - £20. I wanted this a while back but never got round to buying it and now I'm pleased it's won multiple awards so I'm definitely excited to give this a go on my crazy locks.
9. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in 'Corrupt' - £14. These eye pencils are amazing and sadly I don't own a brown eye pencil so I am desperate to sort that issue out.
10. Bobbi Brown Concealer Kit - £24. This contains a concealer and a correcter perfect for sorting out those pesky dark circles, which I'm sadly cursed with.
11. MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in 'Soft and Gentle' - £22. I don't own any of the MAC skinfinish's so I'm really excited to try this one.
12. Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser - £3.49. I sadly have blackheads on my nose so I'm hoping using this will reduce or remove them.
13. MAC 217 Blending Brush - £18. I've been dying to buy a new blending brush as the only one I own is an old Tesco brand from like 3 years ago and it honestly isn't the best, even more this brush is loved by just about everyone and anyone.
14. Sleek Face Contour Kit in 'Light' - £6.49. This has been a must have product for me for ages, but it's always sold out! So I'm hoping now they're back in stock I'll be able to actually try it out as I'm awful at contouring and hopefully using a kit like this will make it a lot easier!

Random Favourites

Random Favourites by victorialouise-x 

My first favourite is books of which I've been loving two! The first is Sarah Dessen's 'The Truth About Forever'. It is a romance book but it is so wonderfully written that I didn't feel the urge to cringe at all, and I also found the characters so interesting and real - as if I would end up leaving my house and bumping into one of them, yes that realistic. My second favourite book, which also is my favourite film, is the Mortal Instruments series and specifically the 'City of Bones' by Cassandra Clare. This was a perfect book to go onto after reading 'The Hunger Games' as it had action and romance twisted into one - perfect. I also adored the film, but I did feel like they missed a few key parts of the book out, so if you've watched the film I beg you to read the book.

Next, is music and I've been adoring two particular music singles. The first is 'L..A. Story' by Sammy Adams. This was a wonderful song for the summer and is just a really nice tune, perfect for a long journey or road trip. It's on pretty much every playlist on my iPod at the moment. My next single, is 'Wrecking Ball' by Miley Cyrus. I find this song so touching and just flawless, it's definitely different to 'L.A. Story' but it's such a nice song to sing out loud when you're home alone, yes I do that and don't deny you most probably do to. Finally, for albums it's Parachutes new album 'Overnight'. I am a massive fan of Parachute and was so pleased by this album, as it's so wonderful and perfect to help send me to sleep. My favourite tracks are: 'Hurricane' (the acoustic version is even better!), 'Meant To Be', 'Overnight' and 'Didn't See It Coming'. I made myself chose my top four or else I would have listed the whole album, again.

For fashion favourites I've been loving black boots, and more specifically clumpy, cut out boots. I find they really make a statement and look so fashionable but aren't that over the top nor too dramatic. I find you can either wear them during the daytime with some white frilly socks and some skinny jeans or dress up with a skater dress and a bowler hat. My favourite boots are these from Topshop for £85.00.

Last but not least, is my favourite YouTuber of which is 'Tanya Burr' I absolutely adore her make-up tutorials as they are so easy to re-create and I actually like the products she uses! Check her out and subscribe to her, here.

Hair Care Favourites & Outfit of the Month

Hey wonderful readers,

It has sadly come to the last of my three set post on my favourites for the past previous months but fear not, my posts will still continue and I will still have beauty favourites of the month but they just won't be this packed! Click to see my first post(skincare and body favourites) or second post (makeup favourites).

First is my favourite hair care products, and I've honestly stepped it up on the hair care front as during the summer my hair always become really dry and unattractive! 

My first hair care favourite is 'Head & Shoulders' "2 in 1 Itchy Scalp Care', for £4.99. Now I do understand it doesn't sound entirely pleasant, but I'm pretty sensitive to strong shampoos and conditioners and with the heat my scalp became quite dry and this helped so much. It contains Aloe Vera which soothed my head and also actually smelt quite pleasant. Especially, as it's a 2 in 1 it's extremely quick and easy to use, and meant I didn't have to pack as much in my luggage. I normally use this alongside a hair treatment (one or both of my next two hair care favourites normally).

Next is two hair care treatments, the first being 'Aussie's' "Miracle Hair Insurance" leave in conditioner, for £4.49. I absolutely adore this treatment, it smells amazing, is brilliant at detangling my hair when I get out the shower to apply it and I can actually recognise the difference it makes when I do and don't use it. Furthermore, it's a spray so is really fast and simple to use and isn't too gloopey or heavy. As I find some hair treatments result in making my hair greasy. Finally, my last hair care treatment is 'Avon's' "Advance Techniques 360 Nourishment Moroccan Argan Oil Leave in Treatment", for £2.99. This works amazing alongside the "Miracle Hair Insurance" as I usually apply that, wait a while then add this to the ends of my hair to add that extra nourishment to my most dry area of my hair. It definitely makes my hair softer, glossier and shinier. 

 Favourite Outfit of the Month

Awful photo I know

I really adore this look and have wore it multiple times, due to it being so comfy but still looks like you have made an effort. Especially, as camis and boots are in at the moment which is even better! Tartan and heart prints are also in fashion at the moment, and I most likely will feature two clothing items related to them later on in my blog posts. Most of these products are from New Look purely because it's one of my all time favourite clothing shops, as it's on trend and fashionable but a decent price and good quality.
Cardi (not in this photo but is adorable) - £24.99
Cami - £9.99
Jeans - £22.99
Boots (i adore) - Mine aren't available anymore as I've had them for a year
but similar ones, £45.00 , £50.00 or £29.99
Watch - £259
