Festive Treats

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! I don't know about you, but I am oh-so excited about the season's festivities this year, I can barely contain myself! In the spirit of things, I thought I'd treat myself (& a few of my family & friends) to some cute little Christmas treats!

JorgObe Peeling Face Mask Review

So, as mentioned a couple of weeks ago in my 'Online Haul' post, I wanted to do a full & in depth review of this new discovery of mine, the wonder mask from JorgObe, a Danish skin care brand promising a clearer & more beautiful complexion!

Matalan & Alder Hey

So, a little while ago I heard the news that Matalan was teaming up with the Alder Hey Children's Hospital Charity to help raise money & awareness for the work this amazing cause do through the selling of these absolutely adorable alphabet scarves. At just £10 each, they are amazing value, & all of the proceeds go straight to the ones who need it the most; Alder Hey is one of the busiest children's hospital's, helping over 270,000 young people & their families through the toughest times.

Aussie & Movember

So, if you read my last blog post on my Autumn Beauty Saviours, you will know that I mentioned that I would be talking about something a little different on the subject of Aussie Haircare & their new exciting collaboration with Movember, an amazing cause which helps raise money & awareness for men's health. Basically, as you all may or may not know, the men in your life, or 'MoBros', are encouraged to go shave free for the whole month of November & gather sponsors & donations which then go towards charities fighting the many issues affecting men's health around the world.

Online Beauty Haul

Having been a beauty fanatic for a good few years, I'd always enjoyed going out & hand picking my favourite pieces & a few new releases to then bring home & enjoy. However, as I did a little research into new brands & products online, I discovered a whole host of hidden gems, some of which I'd never heard about, & so I simply had to share! Enjoy!

Autumn Beauty Saviours

So, it's getting to that time of year again where our skin is needing a little extra TLC as the nights draw in & the heating comes on; Our skin is often a little drier & more sensitive than usual due to the constant variation in temperature. Here are just a few products I've discovered recently to help banish the wintery blues & keep dry skin at bay!

Autumn Shades

 Makeup Academy Matte Palette in 'Winter Forest'

Makeup Academy Matte Single Eyeshadow in 'Midnight'

Rimmel Velvet Matte Nail Polish in 'Sumptuous Red' 

Rimmel Salon Pro Kate Nail Polish in 'Saturn'

Maybelline Color Show Nail Polish in 'Ocean Blue'

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in 'Heather Shimmer' 

Collection 2000 Lasting Colour Lipstick in 'Queen of Hearts'

One thing I adore the most about the transition of Summer to Winter is the wonderful array of new colours & trends we begin to see as we head into the chillier months; The sugary sweet pastels & fresher, more delicate shades many of us opt for as the base colour palette to our make-up routines make way for much bolder & richer tones.

Festive Lush Haul

I am oh so happy to be able to bring you my very first Lush haul, after being somewhat in two minds about the brand for the last few years. I'd heard raving reviews about their products, but I'd never been inclined to go & purchase any of them for myself, the reason behind which I'm not really sure! However, after seeing a Vlog from one of my all time favourite bloggers, Fleur De Force, I was spurred into taking a visit at the weekend, & I was not disappointed!

The first thing I have to mention is the smell which hits you before you've even reached the door. The typical Lush floral & fruity scents, mixed with the festiveness of the spiced orange, really do make a lasting impression. I honestly could've spent hours in there, choosing between the products on offer, but I had to be strict & limit myself to £20 worth, all of which I've reviewed below! 

Superdrug Haul

Hello my lovelies!

I hope you're all having a lovely Thursday as I come to you with a new haul, this time from one of my most favourite shops for all things beauty, Superdrug! I'm honestly a sucker for their make-up & skincare collections, & it has come on leaps & bounds since I started shopping there many years ago. If I could, I would spend every single penny I owned in that store! Here are just a few things I've purchased recently & I'm rating at the moment, I hope you enjoy!

Belated Paris Haul

Hello everyone!

I hope you're all ok, & sorry it's taken me so long to get my bum in enough gear to post another blog entry! Between working & looking after my horses, it's hard to find the time! Anywho, I'm here now with a very overdue Paris haul, I hope you enjoy!

Me & my fabulous friends decided, spur of the moment, that we were going to do something crazy & book a spontaneous trip to the chicest city in the world, Le Paris. Alongside visiting the hotspots, including the beautiful Eiffel & stunning Louvre, the thing I was most excited about this trip was sampling some Parisian style & beauty, & it did not disappoint. Below are just a few of the things I hauled back over the border to tell you about!

Welcome

Beauty Wonderland 

Hello everyone! 

Just thought I'd take the time to post my first ever blog entry dedicated to introducing myself & telling you all a little bit about me & my hopes for this blog! 

My name's Alice, I'm a nineteen year old (at the time I'm writing this, I'm nearing the end of teenager-dem, turning 20 in a mere 6 days) girl from the UK. I had many reasons for starting this blog, some of which I'll go into a bit later on. Firstly though, I'll explain my choice of blog name; Beauty Wonderland. Growing up, there were many references to Alice In Wonderland, as I imagine any girl named Alice goes through! So,putting two & two together, I figured 'Beauty Wonderland' would be a very fitting name for my first blog!
