I love creating these wishlists but it is taking me all my willpower to not pop them in my basket and check out. Definitely needing some of these for Christmas though with my favourites being Dollish Polish- how adorable is the little doll on the bottles?!

Bubblegum kiwi NOTD
My NOTD using the B. Complete nail polish in Bubblegum that I received in a Superdrug goody bag.
This look reminds me of Hawaii and cocktails :)
The wheel of fruits I got from Ebay for 99p free delivery.
The polish has a very wide brush and at first I thought it would be too large for my fingernails and would make a mess but actually it makes application that little bit easier as it swipes across quickly. You do have to be quite quick to apply.
The polish needs two coats as it turns opaque on the second coat.
It has a glossy smooth finish and I love this colour.
Compare to other brands I'm not sure that this will be long-lasting or not. at £4.99 I wouldn't buy the rest of the range as to me the packaging and most of the other colours don't appeal to my unicorn fairytale taste!
Do you ever find that when you add a second coat, even after waiting, it's still tacky and if you slightly knock your nails it smudges and you can literally scrape it off or is it just me?!

B. Live life beautifully
A few weeks ago I won a competition with Fabulous magazine and received a Superdrug goody bag which contained make-up items for the brand B. which is exclusively available from Superdrug.
I had not heard of the brand B. before so now that I have received the products I will try them out. Superdrug had popped it in a pink bubble-wrapped mailbag which I loved!
On first impressions the packaging is simple and quite plain and I would have quite easily bypassed this range as it is not eye-catching. The logo is clear and simple but doesn't really suit my personality and what I would personally choose. I am a sucker for packaging.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the quality of the products is like. I like how they are not tested on animals.
The B. range includes skincare and make-up.
It’s our vision to be part of what makes you and your life beautiful.
At the moment Superdrug have an offer on where you buy one and get your second item half price.
The products I received were;
Lipstick in Bellini £7.99 A coral colour. Love the name too as I love cocktails!
Rejuvenating serum Skin phase- full size is £13.99 for 30ml. I received a 5ml mini tube.
B. Stunning vibrant eye shimmer in the shade 146 Royal £6.99 which is a purple colour with shimmer. On first initial thoughts, it's not my preferred make-up colour as it goes with green eyes more and mine are blue but I will try it out.
B. B.B cream £10.99 a complete 6 in 1 beauty balm with spf 15 in the shade medium. I'm looking forward to trying that out.
B. Smokey eyeliner £4.49 in the shade chocolate. It has a smudger on one end too. I'm looking forward to trying this out to see if it is soft and blendable.
B. Quick 4-in-1 cleansing wipes £3.50 for 25 wipes.
B. Complete Nail Polish £4.99 in the shade Bubblegum which is so me. If I was in store and got to choose I would definitely buy this shade. I hope it lasts a long time as it states as I find that polish chips really easily on my nails.
Thankyou Superdrug- I received a variety of products that I was lucky enough to win!

Puppy mini haul
When we were back down in England for the weekend we stocked up on some treats for Alfie from a local warehouse in Lancashire.
Not all of the items have been pictured as Alfie has either run off with them or they have been popped into his treat tin!
I really wanted to get him a Kong as he is teething at the moment and chews all of his toys non-stop until he sleeps. I was going to order one online for him and didn't so as soon I saw it I got it. I saw a puppy Kong and they only had it in pink- ah well my favourite colour anyway! Don't know whether Alfie would agree but there you go! It's designed so you can pop treats or paste inside and they work to get it out. He has chewed on it a little this morning but now he's taking a nap. It was £4.99.
I bought him a personalised black leather collar with his name on it before we got him and it is far too big for him so we have put it away until he grows up. He has had a blue bandanna collar which was so sweet but he scratched at it and it all frayed so he needed a new one. We got a black thin leather one and then after we had paid spotted a Marvel collar that would match his lead and it fitted perfectly after he tried it on so that was purchased too and he looks adorable in it! Although we're saving it for when he goes out on a walk and not for wearing all the time so that it doesn't wear easily. The pet warehouse owner had brought them back from a holiday in Florida so we bought it before it had sold out.
We stocked up on healthy chicken and rice bones for him 3 for £1.75 as he loves gnawing on these and we got his a selection of mini chew hedgehogs and chew toothbrushes. Ruby enjoyed the toothbrushes very much so Alfie didn't get a look in!
We also bought him healthy option treat bones which were 4 bags for £5.
Finally we bought him a pack of six puppy balls which have a squeaker inside and they were £2.50 .
He loves toys that squeak and he can chase these as well.

| Puppy treats. |
Hi, I'm Alfie and here's my crocodile!
Weekend treats!
At the weekend we travelled back down to England to see my family. I was so excited as I haven't been back down since I moved to Edinburgh five weeks ago. We took Alfie all the way down with us to meet my mum, dad and brother's dog Ruby who is also a whippet. Alfie's confidence grew so much as he followed Ruby out for walks and had someone to jump on. My two Persians don't appreciate a flying puppy landing on them! Seeing Ruby again was so lovely but she looked like she had changed so much. She's so big compared to Alfie who has turned 14 weeks old today!
I met my baby cousin who was adorable, visited grandma and granddad, had Chinese food, watched X-Men ( the latest one) and the X- Factor. I love spending time with the people who matter the most. It's like food for the soul.
Saw the new Company magazine in Sainsbury's and had to have it and it comes with a free eyeliner- bonus!
My Glamour magazine had been delivered to my mum and dad's house.
My mum brought me back some little treats from Primark. Oh I adore Primark so much. I am getting withdrawal symptoms because I haven't been in about 8 weeks now. I love getting bags of goodies from there! I bought so much there in the last few years that the amount of hauls I would have had would have been unbelievable! oops!
A hot pink, twist leatheresque studded bracelet reduced to £1 (One of my favourite colours)
Glittery nails £1
A pack of 3 necklaces neon and skulls £2 - I absolutely love neon colours and love skull jewellery! I love these.
Chocolate face mask £1- I've tried Montagne Jeunesse face masks before on girly nights in and they are always fun and I'm quite impressed with the quality. I hope this one smells of chocolate- although I might try and lick it off which won't taste very pleasant I'm sure!
Sweeties! There's a new sweetie shop just opened near to where I used to live in Lancashire that sells old-fashioned/ retro sweets. I had to go in and stock up on some goodies to take back with me. These will last me a long time as I don't eat sweets that regularly. I probably will now that I have bought them though! I was like a child in a toyshop. I just stared at the containers on the shelves for about twenty minutes, span round and then declared that I didn't know what to get. I used to do this when I was little too! Decisions, decisions!
From left to right I bought (after half an hour!)
20 chocolate cups- I remember these from when I was a lot younger. The chocolate used to be so good inside! I haven't actually tried one yet - can you believe the will power ?!
Sugared almonds- I love almonds and these last a long time- yum.
Cherry lips- Not everyone's cup of tea at all as they taste a bit like perfumed soap. I used to buy the Floral gums and they would last me for ages. I needed some more cherry lips in my life!
Aniseed drops- I've never actually had these before but I like aniseed so it must be a win win.
Finally, almond nougat. I've never had this before but my other half said that it's amazing and his favourite so I got double the amount.
So there we have my weekend treats!
