You girls know what it's like when you fall in love. You feel happy, excited and completely infatuated with that one person who you wake up thinking about and dream about when sleeping. Well, that's exactly how I feel about this gorgeous scent from Ghost. 

When Ghost sent over their Sweetheart Forever fragrance, I had very, very high hopes. Despite feeling so excited, I realised that I had never actually tried any fragrances from Ghost before and there's quite a few of them to choose from! 


When choosing perfumes, I tend to go for ones that are all pretty similar. I like sweet, floral and fruity scents and it's pretty much impossible to beat my firm favourites. I always tell people not to buy me perfume as Christmas or birthday gifts, as it's a dangerous move. One wrong added note in a perfume could mean I won't like the overall fragrance and it goes to waste. Therefore, I usually just stick to what I know. 

However, I'm all about trying out new things and making changes!


The clue to how this perfume smells is all in the name. Sweetheart Forever is a floral fragrance; bursting with heart notes of delicate rose and white blooms. There's also some fruity additions in there; with zesty orange and lychee top notes. Finally to finish, this fragrance boasts base notes of vanilla and wood.

I was very excited to give this a try and am pleased to report back that it lingers on the skin all day long. I have been complimented on it a number of times; including on a recent date, so that's always a plus that a guy has picked up on it too!

Sweetheart forever is available from Boots. A 30ml bottle is priced at £25.00 and 50ml is £34.00. Totally worth it in my opinion, sweetheart

It was definitely time for me to upgrade my makeup brush collection. With a few face brushes that have lasted me for 5-6 years and only a few new-ish ones from XIP Professional; my collection was starting to look a little sorry for itself. In the bin went the really old brushes and out came these aesthetically pleasing beauties.

Nanshy is a makeup brush brand that launched a few years ago. All of Nanshy's brushes are cruelty free and vegan, so perfect for anyone who looks out for these kinds of products. I personally wouldn't want to use any kind of animal fur on my face (including mink lashes), so using cruelty free and vegan brushes is a must for me.

I was sent over the 5-piece Gobsmack Glamorous brush set. The set costs £34.95 and it comes in black or in this gorgeous style; Pearlescent White. The 5 brushes are all face brushes which is what I needed to replace, so I was very excited to give them a try!


Firstly, I adore the packaging and the way these brushes are designed. I only had a few white brushes in my collection beforehand, so these now look super pretty in their brush pot. I was pleasantly surprised to find that these brushes are incredibly soft, with anti-bacterial cruelty-free bristles. Being that of a high quality means that these brushes can be used with liquid, mineral and cream makeup products with no mess or problems. 

So, what did I think of these brushes? 

FO1: Flawless Foundation Brush 

I thought I'd start with the brush that is not only my favourite, but the one I highly recommend out of them all. This a flat top brush that distributes and blends your foundation perfectly. I find I need very little amount of time buffing product into the skin; meaning minimal effort when it comes to creating that perfect base. 


A01: Blush & Bronze Brush 

Another brush I have been enjoying using is this one. It's a fluffy brush with a slightly angled cut; perfect for creating the illusion of cheekbones with bronzer or contour powder. 


FA01: Angled Airbrush 

This is the one brush I haven't used as much as the others, but one that works as a great backup for a foundation brush. It's a flat top brush with an angled cut, which would work amazingly well for cream products. However, I only contour with powder products, so I haven't been able to use it for that purpose.


P01 Conceal Perfector Brush

I have been using this brush just before my foundation when colour correcting with some Smashbox cream correctors. I have tried using it for concealer, but find the brush is a little too big for an accurate and blended application. It's definitely one of those brushes that can have a purpose. 


R01: Buffed Base Brush

This brush reminds me a lot of the buffing brush from Real Techniques. These types of brushes were my favourite for foundation applications, but then I discovered stippling brushes and of course; flat top kabuki's. However, when my foundation brushes are in serious need of a wash, I always reach for a buffing brush to use in the meantime. 

This one works really well at buffing foundation into the skin. I have also used it a few times to apply liquid highlighter to the tops of my cheekbones and it works really well for that too. 


For £34.95, I think this is an excellent brush set that every girl needs - although it does come with a  popular demand so is currently sold out, but is available in black. Each of these brushes can also be purchased separately for £9.95 each if there's one or two you would like in particular. 

It's also worth mentioning that I have washed these brushes a handful of times now and they look as good as new.  No dye runs through the water and no brush hairs come away - something that I find often happens with cheaper brush brands. 

There's many I'm an avid fan of Nanshy and can't wait to try some more of their brushes. There's just SO many more to choose from!

Today, 3 years ago, I made the change of going from dark to blonde and haven't looked back since. I've experimented with temporary crazy colours over the years, but my actual hair style hasn't changed. I've had my hair at shoulder length for about two years and went for a graduated 'bob' for a while before that. 

I used to wear hair extensions when I was younger, so I am completely used to the process of clip ins. It can be a bit of a mare putting them in and does take a lot of practice to make it look right, but they are fairly easy to get the hang of after some practice. I had been looking at various places for hair extensions and spent ages browsing. My hair is quite thick, so I knew I needed thicker extensions to blend in naturally with my own hair.


Cliphair is a hair extensions brand that I had heard many good things about in the beauty blogosphere, so I was delighted to work with them on this review. It feels like a very long time ago that I had long hair, so it was time for a change and sport princess locks once again.

The double wefted clip-in hair extensions from Cliphair are what I ended up choosing. I went for the 18" length in the shade ash blonde. When they arrived, I did need to tone them twice, because they looked very warm compared to my own ash blonde hair. This was no problem though, as I had a bottle of Scott Cornwall's Colour Restore toner in Iced Platinum. I also applied some purple shampoo to the extensions prior to using a toner. This took all the warmth out of them and now they match my hair perfectly. 


The extensions are made using 100% remy human hair, so need to be treated exactly how you would treat your own hair. I have already washed these and left them to air dry over night. I have used heat tools on them and had no problems. I will also be using hair masks on them once a fortnight to make sure they keep their silky, smooth texture. 


These double wefted extensions have clips already attached and double the amount of hair that you get in a normal pack, but with less clips and strips! A dream come true for anyone who would want to wear these most days. They are priced at £79.99 for 18", which I think is a great price for high quality hair extensions. I can tell they will definitely last for ages due to the high quality of the hair and of course, as long as I treat them with TLC. 

I am extremely happy with them and will definitely get more from Cliphair when they need replacing. I might even treat myself to micro ring extensions if I want the commitment to my new princess hair in the future!

Disclaimer: In collaboration with ClipHair. I was sent some extensions for the purpose of an honest review on my blog. All views are my own. 

I have been dancing on the ceiling at just how amazing these three products have worked for me over the past month. When the email rolled into my inbox about the John Frieda Frizz Ease products, I couldn't help but sigh. Another brand with another bunch of products claiming to tame frizzy hair. However, these haven't let me down at all; so let me introduce you to them.

Reader, meet John Frieda's Frizz Ease range.

I actually hadn't tried any John Frieda products before, so gave this a first try when I returned home from Croatia. I was sent over three products in the range; a shampoo, conditioner and serum. As my sun had been exposed to the likes of sun and salt water, it was feeling rather sorry for itself and indeed looking a little frizzy.

So, it was time to crack open this duo and try them out.


Firstly, the smell of the Frizz Ease Forever Smooth Shampoo is very fresh and clean smelling, which is what I like in hair products. The consistency is quite thick and it doesn't take long for your hair to be completely lathered in foam. Retailing at £7.99, the shampoo works really well to cleanse the hair, but also treats your hair with a 'smoothing' technique. 

Once I applied the Frizz Ease Forever Smooth Conditioner, I had high hopes for the final result once my hair was dry and ready to style. Also priced at £7.99, I love that the conditioner can be applied from roots to tips. Most conditioners can leave my hair feeling greasy if applied to the roots, so I was pleased that this is a product that tames those baby hairs I still have!


After towel drying my hair, I have been using the Frizz Ease 8 Effects Serum and it's honestly one of the best serums I have tried in a long time. Priced at £6.99, the bottle claims to eliminate frizz, protect against humidity, heat protect, smooth, hydrate and tame; I can't fault this product at all. 

Once my hair is dry, it can be a complete nightmare and it has to be straightened to tame down the frizz that can occur. I pretty much resemble Hermione Granger most days. 

A few pumps of this serum (a little goes a long way!) leaves my hair feeling super sleek and I actually don't have to reach for the straighteners as much! 

I love this range and will definitely repurchase! All John Frieda Frizz Ease products are available from Boots and Superdrug. Prices may vary.

Orange Eye Makeup


My everyday makeup always involves an orange/brown eye. I think orange really compliments my green eyes, so it's a rarity that I ever change colours now.

Orange is also a fabulous colour for summer and suits most skin tones and eye colours. Finish with a golden highlight on the brow bone and dusting in the inner corners of the eyes; and you'll dazzle everyone with your peachy eyes.


Sheet Masks

Even though they are utterly terrifying when applied, sheet masks are definitely something I have grown to love this year especially. I try to use a face mask at least once a week, but do tend to try more sheet masks than anything else.

I have generally quite clear and healthy skin, but do like to treat myself to products that claim to brighten the skin's complexion. I'm not a huge fan of peel off masks as I find them get stuck in my hair and are a chore to remove. However, sheet masks allow the moisture to soak into the skin and the mask can be removed and thrown away immediately.

Sheet masks are available almost anywhere that stocks skincare and makeup productsEllisons is a great website for all beauty professionals needs. From beauty products like waxing kits or a couch roll, you'll find pretty much everything you could ever need for your beauty treatments.


French Plait Pigtails


This was the hairstyle I would rock every day when at school and I am so glad it's become the number one beauty hair trend recently. Not only does it look amazingly pretty, it's also effortless. Plaits can be difficult to achieve at first, but practice makes perfect. Once you have mastered the technique of a french plait, you can try out different directions and styles.


Microblading


Microblading is the 'tattooing' of brows - either making yours look fuller or shaping them completely. Fine hair like lines are created with a hand held tool with a sharp nib at the end and the technique involves drawing on each 'hair' one by one.

I was first introduced to Microblading when I worked in Beauty PR. Blessed with dark and full brows, it's not a beauty treatment I will ever need. However, I was always stunned by the before and after results that I would see. Results last for around a year and then you'll need a top up. The perfect beauty treatment for women with thin or shapeless brows. Or maybe you're just sick and tired of filling yours in!


Fake Tanning

I remember the days when I would never touch fake tan and then I started a blog and you end up trying all kinds of new products. 

I have been especially obsessed with applying tan for golden and healthy looking skin all of this year. I love to try as many new products as possible in order to try and find one that answers all of my prayers. Having a tan for me, makes me feel much more confident in my skin and I just feel like I look a whole lot better when I look like I've been sunning it up in the Caribbean! 

What beauty trends are you loving at the moment? There's always new ones being introduced, but these are the 5 I am loving so far!

Having blonde hair can be the biggest chore in beauty regimes. I am no longer platinum blonde, but I still have to use certain products to keep my creamy blonde looking as best and as fresh as possible.

I have been using PRO:VOKE's Touch of Silver products for absolute years and they always seem to work for me. If you struggle with maintaining platinum or silver hair, or simply need to freshen/lighten a warmer toned blonde; you need these silver products in your life right now.


The most iconic Touch of Silver products are the shampoos and conditioners. The Brightening Shampoo (£3.19) is my all time favourite and works by counteracting any brassy tones in blonde hair. I have made many mistakes in the past by leaving this on my hair too long. Therefore, it's important to remember to only use it as a quick shampoo and rinse as soon as possible to avoid purple staining. I usually mix it in with a normal shampoo to tone it down slightly and this works perfectly for me.

The Intensive Conditioner is a deep conditioning treatment for after shampooing hair. It does the job for a quick nourish and is definitely worth a try for just £3.19. 


I don't tend to usually use dry shampoos for my specific hair colour or type. However, I am loving Touch of Silver's Revitalising Dry Shampoo (£1.79). I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who's not blonde, as it is quite a powdery white consistency. However, it does work amazingly well at refreshing my blonde hair in-between washes. 


The Intensive Shine Treatments are superb if you're looking for an extra boost of nourishment to your hair. Having blonde hair is great, but it is extremely damaging and left my hair feeling rather dry and brittle before I cut it recently. However, these little shots are made to be left on for a short amount of time and help the hair to look as shiny as can be. 

Touch of Silver products are great and super affordable; with most products being less than five pounds. All available at Boots and Superdrug stores nationwide.

It's not very often that I stand in the mirror and say to myself 'wow', but that's what happened the first time I used this product. I have used it so many more times since and each time I do, I have the same initial reaction. I have been so excited to share this one with you, as I think anyone who wears makeup will really love it. It's also perfect for camping and festivals! 

Removeil is a microfibre cloth that removes your makeup without using any product. I don't know about you, but some nights the thought of removing my makeup and cleansing is an utter chore. I was admittedly very sceptical about this working, but was completely taken aback at just how good it is at what it claims to do.


All you have to do is simply wet the cloth and your face with warm water. You then use the grey micro fibre side to buff away your makeup and it comes straight off! The white side can then be used to dry your face.

I have tried this on makeup with a heavy eye look, and it hasn't failed to work.  You may be wondering if it leaves makeup or a residue behind, but it doesn't. It leaves my skin feeling as clean as can be and as if I have used a product to remove my makeup. I do still recommend a deep cleanse regularly, but for quick removal when you're tired or in a rush, this works great. 

I am honestly very impressed with my Removeil cloth and have already recommended it to a few ladies in my life. It performs exactly how it claims to and at £24.99, I think you'll definitely get your pennies worth. I use mine a lot more than I thought I would!

I remember the days I never used to touch tanning products. The fear of turning my milky coloured skin into a muddy brown shade is something that terrified me. However, starting a blog means that I am introduced to beauty products all the time. I have tried out so many different fake tans and have reviewed a few that I like; including Lauren's Way and Sienna-X Gradual Tan.

However, I have now found the best tan for me and it also just happens to be the cheapest too!


I have been using St Moriz tanning products for a good few months now and haven't been reaching for anything else. For somebody who used to be terrified of looking like she had dipped her arms and legs in a bucket of gravy, I swear by these products and have no hesitation in applying them to my entire body; including my face.

Let me give you a run down on four St Moriz products that I have been trying out over the last few months.


St Moriz Advanced Pro Formula Primer
I've never used a tanning primer before and usually just apply a tan after scrubbing my body in the shower. However, this is a tanning primer retailing at just £3.29, that is specifically made to prep the skin before tanning products are applied. It exfoliates your skin, getting rid of any dead skin cells and extends the life of your tan once applied.

I've tried tanning with and without the primer and have found a tan lasts a few days longer when I use the St Moriz primer. 


St Moriz Instant Tanning Mousse
This was the first tanning product by St Moriz that I tried and I was so surprised at how good it was. I would always usually reach for tanning products in 'Light' or 'Fair', but this Medium shade took me by surprise indeed. 

Firstly, a 200ml bottle retails at £5.29 and has lasted me for well over 6 months. This product in particular has an instant colour upon application, so is great for nights out or any time that you need a last minute application. I use a tanning mitt to apply the mousse formula and found it did seep through, so I now use a plastic glove underneath the mitt. A handy little tip to prevent your hands from staining!

The colour is beautiful and doesn't leave my skin looking muddy at all. As it's an instant tan, it does wash off straight away which is an absolute positive if you need a temporary colour. 


St Moriz Advanced Pro Formula - 5-in-1 Tanning Mousse 
My favourite tanning product to use is now the advance pro formula. It's in the same shade Medium as the Instant Tan and has the same mousse formulation. However, it has a slight instant colour but develops up to 6 hours. Once it's applied, you wash it off without using any body washes, body sprays or perfumes and it leaves a golden tan underneath. 


I find this is perfect for me as it can last for a lot longer. I find after about 4 showers, it needs topping up. However, this is much better than an instant tan washing off straight away and is great if you need something to last a bit longer.  Again, a 200ml bottle is only £5.29.


St Moriz Advanced Pro Formula - Fast Tan Spray
Due to being so used to using mousse formulations, I was a little apprehensive about using a spray tan in a bottle. I found it distributed well from the bottle, but was quite difficult to blend into the skin as easily as it was with the mousse tans. 

I find that you have to work quite quickly with it and work it into the skin before it dries. Not my favourite type of formulation, but the colour pay off is nice if you have the patience to work quickly! The Spray Fast Tan retails for £5.95.

All St Moriz products are available at Superdrug stores and online.

Washing makeup brushes is the biggest chore of my life. I have too many brushes and not enough time in the day or patience to make sure my brushes are clean frequently. However, I do use my Shadow Switch after each use of my brushes, to remove colour before another application.

I was recently introduced to a brand called Dr Bronner's. They specialise in organic and fair-trade soaps, so they are all about saving the Earth. I was told that their Pure Castile Soaps are great for cleaning makeup brushes, so I gave it a go.

I chose the Almond castile soap and actually couldn't wait to get all my brushes together and do a mighty deep clean. I usually use a cheap shampoo (usually a supermarket own brand one) to clean my brushes, so I was quite excited to ditch the shampoo for some soap instead!


The scent is very much like marzipan and made me just want to eat the stuff; something which I don't recommend, because that would be stupid. Brush cleansing has got a whole lot easier since I picked up the Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette. I squeeze a little bit of the soap into the palette and use hot water to swish the brush around the palette.

I was very pleased to see how quickly it took my brushes to go from looking like an oompa loompa had got hold of them; to brushes that look as good as new. It goes without saying that they are also left smelling divine and when left to dry naturally, they still smell nice and not like that dreaded damp smell which can sometimes happen.

I have used Dr Bronner's Almond Soap a few times now and am very impressed. I don't think I will be switching back to a shampoo anytime soon. Using an almond scented soap definitely has its benefits and I can totally see why these organic soaps are taking the world by storm.

A 473ml bottle is priced at £10.49. They also have smaller and bigger bottles.

I was so excited to receive my first ever fibre mascara and to give it a try. Despite loving beauty and having tried many different mascaras over years, I had never given in to trying a fibre mascara. 

A fibre mascara is pretty much what it says on the tin. Tiny fibres are added to the mascara formulation, which stick themselves onto the hairs of your natural lashes. These add volume, depth and texture to your lashes; giving you that fake lash look without the need for fake lashes and glue.


I decided to give the Eye Candy 3-in-1 Mega Lash Fibre Mascara a try and upon my first use of it, I wasn't sure. If you follow me on Snapchat (you can add my username ashleighlilyd), you may remember me telling you guys my thoughts on it back then.

The formulation for starters is quite try compared to what a normal mascara would have. The brush is also incredibly big compared to most wands. With these negative first impressions, I found it quite difficult to like it upon my first application. However, I did note that it may be the perfect mascara of the gym and those "no makeup days".


Due to the brush being a lot larger than normal, I find that the formulation transfers onto my lid just above the lash line. A perfect example is above as you can see where it transferred slightly on one eye and can really see the size of the brush in comparison to the size of my eyes.

However, I tried what I intended to try it for and have been wearing it to the gym. I am not someone who plasters on a full face of makeup, just to go and sweat it off. However, I do like to make sure my eyebrows are brushed and filled in and I like to apply a little concealer under my eyes and mascara to finish. Everyone has their personal preference and that is mine.


I have found it works much more nicely as a mascara for the gym and no makeup days or days where you don't fancy applying too much eye makeup. The fibres do 'attach' themselves onto my own lashes and I quite like the effect that it creates. My eyes look a lot more awake and fresh.

However, I found this mascara is the worst for applying to the bottom lashes. I don't ever apply mascara to my bottom lashes when going to the gym, but other times I have tried it, it transfers to my under eye area. Therefore, I don't use it for my bottom lashes anymore. 


This mascara retails for £19.99 at Boots, but in all honesty, I wouldn't purchase it again (*pr sample). The fibre effect is nice, but many drug street beauty retailers now have their own versions which are much cheaper, so I would be intrigued to try those in the future. 

I am interested in the brand though as they also do a fab range of different eyelashes. If you follow me on Instagram (instagram.com/ashllyd), you may have seen my selfie a couple of weeks ago...


I wore the lash style 007 and they lasted all night without having to apply any more glue. Always a plus in my eyes as a near enough everyday lash wearer! 


I'm definitely keen on trying more of Eye Candy's lash styles! They are available at Tesco for £4.99.

Easter is just over a week away and I may have already tucked into an Easter egg or two. I've never put together a Gift Guide for Easter before, but I figured that Easter is still a time of the year that most people celebrate by getting together with family.  Not everyone is a fan of chocolate, so I thought I would mix things up and feature anything sweet that is gift worthy in a Gift Guide.


Easter HARIBO
Maybe those kids you need to buy for don't really like chocolate. Have you checked out the latest Easter arrivals from the HARIBO world?

Choose from the following:

Spring Time Friends - A whole bag of lamb, chicks and bunny gummy sweets. You won't get these all year round! Fizzy Farm Animals - Made from the ever-so-popular Tangfastics flavouring, this packet of farm animal jelly sweets are set to turn your taste buds wild. Jelly Bunnies - Using the popular texture that Jelly Babies have; these HARIBO jelly bunnies are exactly that but a seasonal animal instead!


HARIBO Chick N Mix Easter Hunt - Fancy putting on a sweet-themed Easter hunt this year for the kids? Choose from 200g of sweets for £1.00 or 400g for £2.00 and you'll have bunnie-dles of fun! The individual bags have chick, lamb and bunny shaped jelly sweets. Perfect for any age really!

All HARIBO Easter products are priced at £1.00, unless stated otherwise. Available at all leading UK supermarkets and independent retailers.

Cadburys Cakes
Nothing says Easter with family, than a good cake to cut up and share around the table. Cadbury Cakes have brought out a range of different Cadbury Mini Eggs cakes for you and your family to enjoy this Easter. It goes without saying that you need to be an epic chocolate lover to enjoy these to their full potential!


NEW to their Easter range is the Cadbury Easter Joy Cake (£5.99). The different layers of chocolate sponge and vanilla flavoured creme, are covered in Cadbury milk chocolate and decorated with Cadbury mini eggs and chocolate curls. I mean, is there anything else you could possibly need?


The egg-cellent Cadbury Easter Cake Selection Box (£3.00) is my personal favourite I think! There are ten different cakes you can choose from (and probably fight over!). Choose from Mini Eggs Chocolate Cakes, Mini Eggs Nest Cakes, Mini Chocolate Rolls and Caramel Cakes. Yum!


They have also brought back some old favourites that make an appearance every year. From the Mini Eggs Nest Cakes (£2.49), Mini Eggs Cakes (£2.49) and Mini Eggs Chocolate Gateau Cake (£3.00); you're set to have a very EGG-citing Easter, thanks to Cadburys!

Available in all major retailers.


Galaxy Easter Egg
A common blogger fav is Galaxy Golden Eggs. This year, they have brought out a giant Galaxy gold wrapped egg with lots of surprises inside. You'll find two bags of Galaxy Golden Eggs, two bags of Galaxy Caramel Mini Eggs, four Galaxy Caramel Eggs and four Galaxy Bubble filled Eggs.  For £8 from Tesco, it's the perfect chocolate gift for any Galaxy chocolate lover!


Mr Kipling Easter Cakes
We all know I am partial to a Mr Kipling cake, but this Easter he has brought out an EGG-ceedingly good range of Easter themed cakes. Not everyone is a fan of chocolate and sometimes Easter can be a little over-whelming to the tastebuds; so why not go for some lemon-flavoured cakes in the new Easter range from Mr Kipling?


Fond of fondant fancies? Well, how about a box of Lemon Fancies? You guessed it. A box of 8 delicious and tangy to the tongue cake that are lemon flavoured and topped with a lemon flavoured icing.


An Easter exclusive this year is that of the Lemon Bakewells. These would go down egg-cellently with a mug of tea! Or maybe you would prefer to mix things up and nibble on the Orange and Lemon Slices? Last but not least, there's the Lemon Whirls, which I personally cannot wait to indulge on. And if you shop in Tesco, they have an exclusive box of Mr Kipling Chocolate Orange Whirls. It's enough to put a Spring in your step!

Oh... and all of the Easter range from Mr Kipling are just £1.00! Available in all major retailers.


Lakrids Easter Egg
This is the ultimate Easter egg for people who are not so fussed about chocolate and love liquorice. Made in Denmark, the Lakrids Easter Egg is an egg shaped presentation box with liquorice coated balls inside. Each ball is dipped in salted caramel and finished with a sprinkling of edible silver to make them look really special.


HEMA Easter Range
I had never heard of this brand before but HEMA are a Dutch retail chain, who stock everything from homeware to food and clothes. They have a whole Easter range which is incredibly cheap, but full of quirky and different Easter gift ideas. Whether you're after this chocolate egg for just £5 or a whole bunch of things for an Easter egg hunt; you're bound to find everything you could possibly need at HEMA.


OMBAR Raw Chocolate
I have recently discovered this chocolate brand and can't get enough of it. Made using raw Ecuadorian cacao and unrefined coconut sugar, these chocolate bars can be enjoyed guilt-free at just £1.99 each. Unlike many other chocolate options, OMBAR chocolate is vegan, gluten free and bursting with natural anti-oxidants. It's a good feeling when you can enjoy a naughty treat that well... isn't so naughty after all!


Jelly Bean Scented Yankee Candle
Yankee Candles are so popular but I've never actually had one. This Jelly Bean scent is absolutely gorgeous and smells exactly like the inside of jelly beans/babies. The candle is purple and retails at £23.99 at its largest size. It's the perfect Easter gift for someone who's not so fond of chocolate, but loves sweet scented things. I can't wait to burn this one!


Palmolive Chocolate Shower Creams
These chocolate shower creams are brand new releases this month from Palmolive. I love nothing better than finding a good shower cream that lathers up without having to make too much of an effort. These do exactly that, whilst making you smell of chocolate at the same time. I have two different ones; Chocolate and Mint Chocolate; both equally as nice and currently priced at £1.23 at Superdrug.


7th Heaven Face Masks
Again, another great gift idea for someone this Easter are chocolate face masks. I have been using 7th Heaven face masks since I was a young teenager and they do the job very well and are very cheap too! They have some lovely chocolate choices which are great for those pamper nights. They almost look good enough to eat!
