Lady Million

Eau my Gold by Pacco Rabanne smells amazing. I haven't tried the original Lady Million, but was in Superdrug a couple of weeks ago and just picking up a few essential items when I siffied this little beauty! I wasn't intentionally looking for a new purfume but my Marc Jacobs daisy was on its last legs (Rip little daisy) so I was in the market for one! 

Superdrug had an offer on for beautycard holders which gave you a free 500points to spend in store if you bought it (that's £5) so naturally I was paying for it before I knew! 

The smell is fruity with hints of mango (not going to lie I can't smell mango at all) but it does smell lovely and I've had compliments including from Bob (boyfriend) which is a first because he never normally mentions how nice something smells! 

Have you tried Lady Million Eau my Gold?

Asda phone cover

I love my mobile, couldn't be without it. I also love my boyfriend, couldn't be without him. So when I was looking for a new cover for my Samsung to keep it nicely protected I decided to combine my love for both and get a personalised one.

After a quick google search I stumbled across asda which allows you to upload a picture and make your own cover. It was £15 plus p&p or free to collect in store (I'm lazy plus live in the countryside so paid for delivery).

I used a picture that I love of us both and is kind of a joke between us as you can't see his face (hates his photo taken. Sigh)!

                         It makes me smile everytime I look at it.

Have you put your photo on your phone case?

You can buy one from www.asda-photo.co.uk

Maggs London

I have been following Hannah maggs blog and blogs for a while and was really excited when she released some beautiful little make up bags and I just had to have one.

Now they aren't cheap (£20ish) but are handmade and come lovingly wrapped in brown paper, string and with a cute little handwritten note. However I did buy a make up bag for £30 last year which was just a generic factory made one, so it isn't that bad really, when you think of all of the work that has gone into making it.

I chose the bag called "The Little Moments' which has pretty little flowers on and cost £23.96 plus p&p. It is great quality and is lined inside so any make up can easily be wiped off.

                           How cute is the bag and wrapping?

It's been a while...

Hi everyone!

It has been a while since my last post, but now that uni work has eased up a little, I am going to try my best to post more frequently.

Just a quick review today of Maybelline super stay gel nail colour. The one I have tried is 78 porcelain, which is a very pale shimmery pink. It does glide on the nail with ease, however it is the kind of varnish that needs a least two coats for full coverage. I bought it from sainsburys for about £3 so it was fairly cheap for a nail polish and it does dry quickly. I would wear this on my finger nails but perhaps not toes, as I much prefer a brighter shade on my feet. However this shade is perfect for daytime/work/college etc as it is not too bright.

Sorry about the quality of the pic, I'm on my tablet.

Have you tried any of the Maybelline super stay gel nail polishes? What did you think?

I'm pale. That means finding a foundation that doesn't make me look like a ghost or an oompa loompa... almost impossible.

I like make-up, but i'm not one of those girls who can justify spending £25 on a designer foundation (sob sob). I stick to the high street, mostly Boots and Superdrug, as I live in Cornwall and well we have no other shops!

I've tried Rimmel, Max Factor, even dabbled in Benefit (almost made me bankrupt)! Somehow none of these made my skin as flawless as on the adverts.

Then one day I stumbled upon Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in 51 Light Vanilla! Bingo I had found my ideal coverage.
It even has a slight fruity scent to it. The texture is light and easy to apply without being too runny. It does say that it lasts for 16 hours but I am not sure that is true, I have applied it before a 12 hour shift and it isn't still flawlessly intact after that! So I guess it depends what you are doing in those 16 hours!

I had previously tried the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation and found that to be too thick and nowhere near as pleasant to apply. It looked almost dull and caked on my pale skin (not a good look). however the serum is just the right consistency and applies really evenly to my skin, covering all of the redness and imperfections on my cheeks and around my nose. 

One flaw is that it doesn't contain SPF which I think would be a bonus!

 I am currently loving... Nivea Refreshingly Soft Moisturising Cream.

I love Nivea products as you always know that you are getting a good product in my opinion and the smell reminds me of my mum, a nice, clean,  fresh, comforting smell.

 Nivea teamed up with designer Giles Deacon for fashion week in September (I know I know where have I been) to produce the loveliest little pot of light moisturising cream.
It is such a lovely light formula and contains Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil, it soaks into the skin really quickly too, which is a bonus because I hate creams that linger on the skin and leave you feeling greasy. 

The pot is 200ml and costs around about the £4.00 mark.

La La La

I can never find a shampoo that is good for my fine hair. I have tried the ones that they suggest at the hairdressers (which cost an arm and a leg) along with all the popular brands such as Herbal Essences, Dove, Pantene, etc... but they always either leave my hair dry and itchy or greasy and limp! 

However, a few months ago I started using TRESemme Platinum Strength. Now at first I wasn't sure as the shampoo itself was quite thick, which I thought would result in my hair being left limp and greasy. However I was pleasantly surprised and have been using it for a few months now. It smells pleasant enough not the best scented shampoo I have ever used, but it leaves my hair feeling amazing! 

I would definitely recommend TRESemme to anyone who has the same issues with finding the right shampoo as I have.
