Spring Lustlist | The Birthday Edit*

Hey beauties, 

So Spring is finally upon us, the Sun has come out of hibernation and there are no more beasts from the East, West or any direction in sight. YAY. Not to mention it's almost April (AKA my birthday month) when I'll be turning the ripe old age of 25. Basically I could not be happier right now. With each new season comes fabulous new beauty releases and as I feel like I'm pining over so many of them, I think it's time to do a little Lust List to get it all out my system.

Oh and for those of you that need some beauty present inspo... this one's for you! (April 23rd mark your calendars)

Little Luxuries | Gift Guide 2017

Hey friends,

I'm back with Part Two in my Gift Guide series, and today's post is all about the Little Luxuries you can treat your friends and family to! Most things mentioned in this post are above the £15 mark, some, a lot higher, some just a little higher. There will be a couple of products that come under the £15 mark, but I still felt like these were classed as Luxury Items, so included them in this guide! Remember, if you were looking to spend a little less, check out my Stocking Fillers Guide for gifts £10 and under! I've been getting loads of lovely comments and messages that I've been giving you guys lots of present inspo, so please keep those messages coming, cause I love reading them!

Whether she's 12 or 72, your bestie, neice or great aunt, I guarantee you'll find something perfect on here over the next couple of weeks! This first post is full to the brim of fabulous stocking fillers, (oh and spoiler alert: if we know each other, you might potentially end up with one of these, so be ready to act surprised!)

Marks & Spencers Beauty Calendar | Best Bits!

Hey gals,

So we're two weeks into January now; anyone else already broke one of their New Years Resolutions? (Jokes, I didn't even make any, I have that little self confidence...)  One thing I am attempting this year however is YouTube. Yep you heard it right people, Izzy is on the tube. As you guys may or may not have gathered from my overuse of italics and brackets, I love a good ramble, and so it just made complete sense to me to start making videos! My first one is up and it's a fun little Get to Know Me tag <3  I'd love it if you could subscribe, and please feel free to give suggestions for videos too!

My Marks and Spencers Beauty Calendar has been sitting on my window-ledge staring at me this past week or so, and there are several products from it that I keep on reaching for, so I decided to do a little round up of my favourite bits!

Scents of Summer

Hey girlies,

So summer is slowly coming to an end, I know I know, it barely lasted a week, but I thought I would share with you some of my favourite fragrances for this time of year. A couple of these hold really distinct memories for me, which is probably why I love wearing them so much!

I have to say a little thank you to Kirstie, who runs a beautiful blog called Behind the Scent, as I went to her in a bit of a panic, and she was so lovely and gave me some great tips on how best to describe perfumes. So here goes!

(Clockwise from bottom right)

1. Jo Malone Mimosa and Cardamom Cologne 30ml - £43

2. MAC Turquatic 20ml - £20

3. VS Pink Sweet and Flirty 75ml - $75

4. Origins Ginger Essence Sensous Skinscent 100ml - £45

5. Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche 100ml - £50

Jet Set Essentials

Hey guys! So as a few of you may know, I'm gong to New York next week, and I am little kid in a candy store excited. I have been once before, around three years ago, but I've been so desperate to go back ever since. Can you blame me?

I really enjoy reading travel-related blog posts and videos, so figured this was the perfect opportunity to do one for myself! So without any further waffle, here are my in-flight essentials. (Mmmm waffle)

Skincare

So with it being a long haul flight, (around seven and a half hours), I usually take my makeup off a couple of hours into the journey, re-apply it just before landing and do a bit of a treatment somewhere in the middle. I find this just helps to keep my skin feeling healthier and prevents breakouts, otherwise the recycled air on planes turns my skin drier than the Sahara desert. Plus I'm far too attached to my makeup bag to put it in the hold. Anyone else surgically attached to their makeup?

March Lust List

Hey guys!

A friend of mine asked if I was going to do another 'Lust List' post, so I thought, why not! I had hoped that blogging about things I was lusting after might curb my shopping appetite ever so slightly, but sadly, I don't think my plan worked all that well.

I am trying to shop less. Do I at least get points for effort? - Flashback to my primary school years where I finished last in the obstacle race and got the 'Good Try' sticker along with a pitiful pat on the head..
