Disneyland Paris Shopping Wish List

This trip has zoomed by cannot believe that in 10 days I am finally off on my day trip to Disneyland Paris and I am so excited even more so that its approaching so quickly. I have recently been watching so many Disneyland Paris Haul posts that I have kind of drummed up a small well I say small list of what I would like to get if its still available and in stock!

Some of the things on my list are things that I always have to buy when I go like a plush, mug and key ring and other bits are just things I've now seen on these videos although I don't have photos of them.

1. Disneyland Paris 2016 Photo Album

I have wanted an Album ever since I went in 2014 and stupidly didn't get one and as per usual they sell out on the website so quickly I wasn't able to get one. Now I did go in 2015 but once again there was none available because around November all the old stock goes on sale and they start issuing the next years stock so fingers crossed I can get one this year and put all the photos from all of my trips inside!

2. Disneyland Paris 2016 Photo Frame

I just have to get a 2016 one to go with my 2014 photo frame because its just such a nice memory to have, As mentioned above like the album I was unable to get a frame so hopefully this time I will be able to. 

3. New Disneyland Paris Theme Mug

This mug I have seen is absolutely beautiful its quite a big mug and at the centre has the sleeping beauty castle and as it goes around all the different attractions along with mickey mouse and lots of other characters and some villains as well. As I am doing a haul post when I get back If I get this I will make sure to post some photos. 

Not sure if this is new merch for 2017 or anything because it doesn't say it but it is beautiful!

4. New Disneyland Paris Theme Sweet Tin

This tin is the same as the mug and it looks super cute so was thinking I could store stuff in it after I've eaten the sweets inside.

5. New Disneyland Paris Theme Photo Holder
So this is essentially in the same them as the mug and the sweet tin that I want to get. Its like an ornament that has Sleeping Beauty's castle at the centre and along with Mickey and Minnie next to it. Then on the side it has Space Mountain, The Mad Hatters Tea Cups and Big Thunder mountain as the rides along with these cute little characters sticking out from Peter Pans Flight, Dumbo Elephants and Space Mountain again where you clip on the photos.

I really hope this is in stock but I have a feeling with how beautiful it is it might of sold out quickly. 

6. Christmas Decorations
I already have a couple of Christmas decorations for my tree but I wouldn't mind a couple more as last year I missed out on the Rapunzel and Pocahontas princess decorations and since then they have also released a Cheshire Cat shoe decoration which I will use as an ornament.

7. Disney Pins
So as I have said before Disney Pins are something that I have always picked up and put down again so this time I am finally going to buy a couple. I don't really know what is out there but I have seen a few I wouldn't mind getting like two hotel pins for the hotels I've stayed in, 2016 Disneyland Paris Pin and something Tangled or Pocahontas related I think.

8. Disneyland Paris 2017 Calendar/Desk Version
You always need a calendar especially a Disneyland Paris one that has a countdown to the anniversary on it and a desk version of it for work haha!

9. Beauty and The Beast/Villian  Tsum Tsum
I love collecting Tsum Tsum but with the recent horrors of online ordering I haven't really bothered the last couple of times even though there has been a couple of the collects that I would like. I am hoping I may be able to pick up a few when I'm in the parks from these two recent releases.

10. Marie Shaped Pen 
Character shaped pens for the win! Marie is the latest edition to be released as my friend pointed out to me so I am picking one up for myself as well now she is just so cute.

11. New Disneyland Paris Castle T-shirt
I never usually buy any clothing when I am in Disney because they never ever have my size in anything or never seem to have the top I want so hopefully this time as the top is new I may have some luck. Its a simple deisgn with just the Sleeping Beauty's Castle on the front.

12. A Plush
I can't not to go and not buy a plush last year I nearly didn't but me and my partner agreed no more but in the end I settled for Ratatouille because he knew how much I wanted him. This time I have my eye on the Aristocats kittens trio plush as this has recently come back to the park whether its available when I go is another matter.

13 Cute Character Keyring
Sucker for Disney key rings especially cute character ones and with mine breaking recently I am in need of a new one. When I went last Christmas they didn't have any that I actually wanted but since then I have seen a few that I would like so I may get one or two will have to see who's there when I go.

14. Goofy Sweets/Disneyland Paris Sweets
I love sweets especially the Goofy Sweet packets that you can get everywhere in the park so I want to get a few packets of these along with some of the other sweets you can get in the park. Last time I didn't take home enough.

So that's my wishlist of things I hopefully am going to bring back if I have enough money. I am taking 250 euros with me which ill spend probably 40 on food and then 10 is to pick up my friends calendar so I will have about 200 left to spend on myself. Once I'm back I will do a haul post on here along with a haul video on my new YouTube channel.

July Favourites

I haven't done one of these posts in agesss and never really got in the habit of doing them every month but as I happen to have done a lot of shopping this month and a lot of them are my favourites I thought why not and with the first week of August nearly over I thought I better press on before its too late!!

Harry Potter and The Cursed Child

Ever since the screen play was announced I have been eager to see it in London but with money being tight for the rest of the year I was over joyed when JK announced she would be releasing the script as a book I couldn’t wait.

I managed to get my copy on the release date with pre ordering through via Amazon Prime but as I have been so busy I have only read the first act and impressions so far good. It’s great to get to read about my favourite witches and wizards one last time.

Aristocats Phone Case

How beautiful is that phone case? Just a perfect mix of everything I love and adore.

Loungefly Alice In Wonderland Bag and Purse

With both of my Disney trips happening this year and next year I decided that it was time to invest in a Disney backpack. They just seem so much more easier to carry around and they don’t get in the way when your taking photos. After a seller on Amazon started selling these I was finally able to get my hands on the items I have been eyeing up for the last few months.

Baymax Instax Album/ Alice In Wonderland Instax Film

I just had to get these cute Instax items for my trip next month. One being from Ebay only costing £3 which is a bargain and the 2^nd from Etsy.

Totoro Plush/ Sailor Moon Cup

Both items spotted on my trip to Hyper Japan and were immediate must haves especially the Totoro plush as the style was super cute and the material and posture matched my existing one.

Pocahontas Socks

Anyone who knows me knows that its Pocahontas for the win and the fact that Primark does Pocahontas socks????? Like what??? I just had to have them maybe this is more of what’s to come? PJS? Tops that would be amazing!

Pocahontas Glass

I’m just a sucker for mugs and glasses and when I saw this vintage glass especially relating to my favourite song “Mine” from the movie and it was in the sale as well it was a no brainer.

Disney Plaques

I have been searching for some Disney plaques for a while now and not finding any at a reasonable price or quality I had given up until I came across Pink Dinosaur Crafts on Instagram who upcycle old Disney books in to notebooks and plaques. They now look perfect hanging above my desk in my office to finish off the empty space I had on my wall.

Disney Jumper

Another item purchased for my trip next month. As we will be travelling via coach over night to get there and back it makes sense that I need something to keep myself warm and what better item to have! Only £10 currently at Primark as well it was a bargain.

Monsters Inc Tsum Tsum 

Need I say no more? I had to have these in my collection and as the last few collections released haven't been super great quality and the hassle people have been having trying to get hold of them I was really pleased when they came.

Wish List: Disney Books

I love reading and I especially love reading books that relate to Disney whether they are Artwork books, books on the history of rides and parks or even Walt himself. I don't currently own many which is a shame but money is tight at the moment but I thought I would share a few of the books that I would really like.

1. The Art Of Pocahontas - Amazon - £30 - £90

This book is such a rare gem and very difficult to get hold of especially new, I'm quite funny about buying used books especially if they don't provide proper copies of the book.

This book was first released in 1995 and hasn't been reproduced since and I was actually lucky enough to find a new copy for £32 rather than the usual £50 - £90 price tag, This will be a birthday present from my mum and I am so excited for it to come.

2. Maps of Disney Parks: Charting 60 years from California to Shanghai - Amazon - £22.68
Now this book isn't out until the end of October and I have already placed my pre order for a copy because this is something that fascinates me because its the history of the parks over the last 60 years and with the recent park in Shanghai now open it will be great to see how the parks and maps have changed over the years for the eras.

So the next few books on my list happen to be artwork books from some of my favourite movies. I love looking through Artwork books because it gives you an incite in to how the movie was produced and the concept art that then may become a reality or never made it to the final cut. Like for example Meeko was originally meant to be a turkey.

3. Tangled Artwork Book - Amazon - £19.96
4. Zootropolis Artwork Book - Amazon - £17.00
5. Inside Out ArtBook - Amazon - £19.99
6. Big Hero 6 ArtBook - Amazon - £19.98
7. Art of Ratatouille (Pixar Animation) - Amazon - £19.99

8. They Drew As They Pleased: The Hidden Art of Disney's Golden Age - Amazon - £19.99
This book was only released back in September last year and it appeared to have slipped off my radar. I don't know much about this book but from the reviews I have seen I can see that is about the golden age of Disney and all the Disney artists who worked on a few select movies.

9. Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Disney Little Golden Book - Amazon - £7.55
This book has been on my list for ages! And its full of loads of drawings from the Disney Animated movies along with positive quotes so essentially like a self help book or something to pick you up when your're feeling down.

10. Art of the Disney Golden Books - Amazon - £25
I have been meaning to buy this book for a while now and I know a few people who own this already and the inside of the book is just beautiful full of tones of photos, artwork and writing about the History of Disney.

So I think the next book I may have to buy is number 10 as the more I see of it the more I want it closely followed by the Tangled and Zootropolis artwork books.

Wily Fox Vintage Disney Surprise Box

So for a while now I have been eyeing up these Disney surprise boxes that I have seen a few of my blogger friends and Instagram friends have been purchasing recently and finally with a little bit of extra money in my account I decided to purchase one.

Wily Fox Vintage is a lovely shop that sells a variety of different items from mugs, cups, cards, pins and these surprise boxes. They also sell Harry Potter, Simpson and Disney items which is one of the Surprise boxes that I picked up as they are selling sale ones for £5 plus postage and contain 8 items.

You can visit they're bigcartel shop here!

In my sale box I got 8 different items and over all I am really please with my box. I really love the Castle print that she puts in every surprise box which I will now have to find a frame for because its too beautiful not to put up.

I love Pocahontas and when I opened the box to see a pack of vintage Pocahontas stickers I was over the moon. I haven't see these since I was little and I just had to open them and was so happy with the ones I got although the John Smith nearly dying sticker made me sad!

Each box also comes with a Disney postcard and I actually received on the other day with an order so its nice to have another one from the set especially as it is from Tangled my 2nd favourite Princess movie.

I also received this super cute handmade Disney pin of Piglet from Winnie the Pooh. I really like the style of this one and I am really excited to try and pick up some others of they're website or from DLP on my day trip.

I really enjoyed my Disney Mystery Box and would love to try the Harry Potter one next time. Postage was super quick and it is a surprise because you don't even know when its posted.

I also decided to purchase a Vintage Disney Cup for £7 as they were in the sale and she happened to have one of the 4 Pocahontas cups left. As I am a massive Pocahontas lover this was a must have for me and now I want to collect them all but with the cost from America being so expensive I shall just wait and see if they get any more stock.

Thanks for reading. I purchased this with my own money and I was NOT paid to review this by Wily Fox Vintage.

Beauty Product Review: Lush Cosmentics Cupcake Fresh Face Mask

Ok so I'm not really one who does beauty products reviews but after using this product I thought I would give it a go.

I have quite a bad problem with oily skin and I've tried a lot of products to help with this but with no luck so one day I decided I would have a noise at what products Lush cosmetics do and came across a fresh face mask called Cupcake. After reading a lot of reviews people have said it was good for oily skin so I went to the shop to have a look and the shop members recommend the same thing.

The face mask is fresh so it gets made a few days before it comes in to the store and has to be kept in the fridge and has a use by date like food does. What I like about it is that it's all natural ingredients so you could use it every day if you liked unlike usual face masks.

The ingredients are Coco Butter, Linseed, Coco Powder, Peppermint, Spearmint and Sandalwood oils which are all meant to help absorb excess oils and calm break outs. It's quite hard to spread on your face as the mask does harden very quickly but your meant to leave this on for 10 minuets before rinsing off with warm water. I have found its a messy process so maybe washing it off in the shower might be easier.

I've used the mask 3 times now and I have to say that my skin does look different and not as oily and that my spots have died down a bit. But what I love the most is that my skin feels so clean and soft after using the product the cleanest it's ever felt.

Only downside is that the pot costs £6.75 but there isn't very much of it as the pot is very small but it's meant to last 4 weeks before the best before date and smells lovely.

Would I buy this again? At the moment yes I would buy another pot if I keep having the same results and what's great is that every 5 pots you bring to the shop they're give you a free fresh face mask!

*This product was brought and paid for by myself, Lush aren't paying me to review this and all comments and thoughts are my own*

What products would you recommend for oily skin?

March 25th 2016: Birmingham - The Vamps

Before anyone makes any judgement on me for liking The Vamps haha this is my guilty little pleasure like for most of you who like One Direction is ;) just wanted to put that out there hehe!

As I've mentioned in a few previous posts that I was going to see The Vamps Wake Up Tour in Birmingham on the 25th March with my best friend Samiee who also loves The Vamps. This flew around considering we booked this back in October 2014!

We travelled up to Birmingham on the Friday afternoon via train and checked in to our hotel around 3 pm giving us plenty of time to go shopping and grab some food before the show started. We were quite lucky actually that our hotel was by one of the main entrances to the station making it easy for us to leave the following morning.

When we got there we checked in and headed straight for Primark which was next door to our hotel luckily ;) I was highly surprised that I didn't end up spending as much money as I thought I would considering how much I picked up and tried on and ended up hating everything apart from one top.

With being Disney lovers the Disney Store was next on our list considering we no longer have one in Bristol anymore which is really annoying. As soon as we got in there were made a B line straight for the Tsum Tsum's and mugs obviously we both ended up buying some and spending more than we bargained.

I also picked up the Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2 as I missed this in the cinema and it was part of a 2 for £20 deal.

Now when ever me and Samiee do something together its like a ritual that if there is an Ed's Diner then we will eat in an Ed's Diner regardless as we love this place and luckily our partners don't think much of it!

This time I had a simple Bacon and Cheese burger with a side of chilly cheese fries which were AMAZING! I have had the bacon cheese fries before and even those were amazing. To drink we always have a Nutella shake!

When we finally made our way over to the arena it was about 7:00pm as we decided we didn't really want to get there that early because for some reason they had 4 support acts and the first one was on at 6:30pm and The Vamps weren't on until 9pm so heck were we waiting around for 2 plus hours to see them.

This is the 3rd time we have been to see them live now and don't get me wrong they were as amazing as always but I felt that the 2nd time we saw them in Birmingham was the best we also accidentally missed the last song as they went off stage and didn't come back on for AGES so we thought it had ended whoops!

I really loved it when they sand Kung Fu Fighting and they included scenes from the new Kung Fu Panda movie which I went to see a few weeks ago. My favorite bit of any Vamps show is when Tris comes out and does an amazing Drum solo at one point during the show I thought they weren't going to do it but they did!

It was really nice to spend the night away with Samiee as we haven't done it in a while as we used to stay away for events quite a lot so was nice to get away to somewhere different and grab some food and do some shopping even if its ended up me being POOR!

Next up we have Disney On Ice in Cardiff on the 23rd April which I'm dead excited about!!

Tsum Tsum Collection Update

I finally now have over 100 Tsum Tsums and I am very pleased with my collection so far even though there is still so many I would like especially some of the collections from Japan.

Its scary to think that overall I have spent £357.50 on Tsum Tsum before taking postage in to account which is scary because that could pay for half of a trip to Disneyland Paris or something else of course haha.

Most of my collection has been brought from Disney direct or from Clintons, I don't but from from Ebay at all as they often sell fakes or it is actually hard to tell if they are real or not. A lot of them come with key chains which are the ones I do not like so would rather wait and get them off a proper Tsum Tsum seller online or from Disney or Clintons.

My Collection:

I started my collection on the 19th February 2014 when I got my first 5 from Paris and my mum ordered me the Cheshire Cat from Japan. On October 6th I posted a Tsum Tsum update and my collection stood at 67 Small ones and 1 Large one and since then to this date nearly a year on I have ...

Small: 104

Large: 1

I'm so excited that I managed to get hold of the Lion King Tsum Tsum collection for the January Tsum Tsum Tuesday as I just missed out on getting these in Paris as they were released the day I left which was annoying :(

This month they released they 4 different collections:

For once Disney actually released Oswald, Classic Minnie,Valentines Day Mickey and Minnie separately instead of in a collection box like they usually do so I managed to pick up Oswald!.

I really want the Valentines Day Chocolate Box which is actually a re release of Japans collection from last year which was on my wish list but I'm short of money this month so maybe if it goes in to a sale I can get it later in the year.

I'm so jealous of Japans Valentines Day collection his year as it features Tramp and this is the first hes been seen! And I really want Chip and Dale from The Year of the Monkey collection :(

My Top 15 Favorites:

This is a really hard decision to make as they're all so cute teheh, but I have narrowed it down out of my 105 down to my 10 top favorites!

So here is my collection! How big is yours and what are your favorites?
Happy Monday Immy! xoxox

Disney Haul

Its safe to say my suitcase coming home was rammed so rammed that I had to leave my handbag behind, good job it was a cheap bag I brought on purpose for this holiday!

Everyone loves a good haul especially when its a Disney Haul, I am quiet happy with all the stuff I managed to get there was a few items that I really wanted but weren't currently in stock or for example the Lion King Tsum Tsum came out the day I left which I was gutted about :( Ahh well they are out in January anyways.

Just by looking at the above photo you can see I ended up buying a lot of sweets and chocolate hehe!

Milka and French Haribo are a must buy when in Paris, people thing I am mad obsessing over the French haribo but they are just way better than any you will get in the UK by far. 

Last time I visited I didn't pick up any of the Mickey and Minnie biscuits but after hearing how amazing they are this time I thought I would give them a go.

With it being Christmas now I was looking at all the Christmas decorations they had to offer and there was tons of them I could have brought so many more than I actually did but the issue was getting them home.

The ginger bread collection is just the cutest so these were a must have along with the bowl, I was going to get the pluses but they were smaller than I imagined and the only two I found weren't that great :(

I am a Vinylmation and Tsum Tsum collector but I have to say this trip I was a little disappointed with what was on offer. I managed to get hold of one of the Park Favourites and Peter Pan Vinylmations and the Shelia and Duffy Tsum Tsum but was kinda hoping for more.

How cute is Remy? It took me so long to actually find a cute looking one!

I love collecting commemorative coins to do with places I've been so when I saw these around the parks I had to pick a few up, obviously I had to get the Ratatouille one <3

On our last day we ended up going to Val D Europe which is a massive shopping center about 5 minuets on the RER and it has over 150 shops and an Aquarium which was amazing filled with so many amazing fish, sharks, turtles, Nemo and Dory of course anyways back on track ;)

I ended up going in to this shop called Undiz and they just sell nightwear, bras and underwear so I had to take a look and I came across the most amazing Disney Villains nightwear <3 really check them out they have some amazing stuff.

I hope you liked my Haul, more Disney posts still to come. Back in work today and suffering with Disney Blues but I brought some Disney with me to work hehe!!

Immy xoxox
