The Weekend Want List #2

So I did a weekend want list a while ago and thought what better way to come back from my break from blogging than to share with you some things that I kind of want. I’m sorry this has gone up today I know I said I’d resume blogging from yesterday, I was a little busy, so let’s get into the products shall we?

See By Chloe Eau de Parfum £39.00-£65.00

So I’d heard a few things about this perfume from various YouTuber’s such as Fleur and Amelia and thought I need to smell this fragrance and see what the hype is surrounding it. I completely understand now and this is definitely a perfume I would like added to my collection. It wears beautifully throughout the day and is unlike anything I have in my perfume collection.  

The Charlotte Tilbury Dolce Vita Eyeshadow palette £38.00

I’ve never tried anything Charlotte Tilbury before and I think when I make my trip to London in a few months’ time, this may be on my to be purchased list. First of all I love all the shades in the palette it’s perfect for me, plus look at the packaging it’s gorgeous. This is something that I need in my eyeshadow collection, even though the price is slightly ridiculous.

The Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon in Black Diamonds £19.00

Again another eyeshadow product from Charlotte Tilbury I guess I’m just interested in seeing how good her products are, but this time instead of powder shadows it’s an eyeshadow pencil. It’s not normally in a colour I would go for but it looks gorgeous, there is also a few other colours I like too, I think I may end up going overboard buying Charlotte Tilbury makeup :P

Topshop Tailored Bandeau Jumpsuit £60.00

Recently Topshop has been coming out with some really nice playsuits and jumpsuits and this one has caught my eye, I have actually tried it on in store but wasn’t sure, however thinking about it now I think I need it, it’s such a classic and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion!!

The Body Shop Tea Tree Flawless BB cream £8.00

Now I’ve never been too sure about the BB cream hype, as I don’t normally wear foundation and I think I would much prefer to use a BB cream anyway, so when I heard the body shop were bringing out a tea tree BB cream I was intrigued. Tea tree works wonders on my skin, so maybe I should give this a try, who knows it may in fact work!!

Miss Selfridge Catania Two Strap Sandals £39.00

Now these shoes wow, how beautiful are they?! I saw them in store and they are just really nice shoes that could go with a range of outfits. My only hesitation these shoes could potentially destroy my feet but hey if that’s the price I have to pay, then I’ll be quite happy even though I’ll be wearing flats for a few days after :P

River Island Gold Tone Pink Arm Aviators £10.00

Now I need a new pair of sunglasses and this may be the pair that I buy, I love aviators I feel they just suit me and my face shape more, and I have tried a pair of these on in store and I liked them so on my next shopping trip these need to be purchased!!

Essie Nail Polish in Haute in Heat £7.99

This Essie colour screams summer, and well it is part of the summer collection for 2014, it’s described as a hot guava colour and I would agree, I love pink polish so it’s no surprise that this one stands out for me in this collection!!

So that is it my little product round up of my weekend want list. It’s good to be blogging again and I’ll be on my normal schedule of posting Wednesday and Saturday. Hope you all enjoyed this and I hope you are all having a lovely weekend!! x 

I'll be right back...

It's that time in the year where my a level exams are coming around, and this means that I'm going to have to take a little break from blogging, so I can focus on these exams. But fear not I'll be back on my normal schedule of posting Wednesday and Saturday resuming on the 21st of June, so watch this space! I also want to say good luck to any of you taking exams and I'll be back soon! :D 

The Disney Tag!

This is something a little bit different from beauty and fashion, but shows my love for Disney! I saw this tag on Blog of Shadows and couldn’t resist doing it!

1)      A scene in any Disney movie you wish you could experience?

It has got to be in Beauty and the Beast when they sing be our guest, who wouldn’t want popping champagne and dancing dishes right in front of them performing for you?! That is probably one of my favourite scenes also in Frozen when Elsa is building her ice palace I would love to do that! The cold never bothered me anyway…haha!

2)      An unforgettable experience/moment you’ve had at the parks?

There are 3 that I can recall I was about 8 years old and I remember running up to the castle and I couldn't stop smiling the whole day, dream come true! Also when Aurora waved at me during the princess parade, and when I got Minnie Mouse’s autograph, that was pretty cool!

3)      What Disney song reminds you or brings back memories of Disney and/or the Parks?

Oh I’m not sure about this one but, Aladdin’s a whole new world?

4)      When was the first time you went to a Disney Park?

All the way back in 2004, with my dad, gran, sister, brother and family friends Neil, Julie, Scott and Kelly! :D

5)      If you could choose any of the characters to be your best friend, who would it be?

It’s got to be Elsa from Frozen duh! Who wouldn’t want a best friend who could make an ice palace and we could sing Let it Go? Plus Olaf could hang out with us too :P

6)      Who are your favourite Disney Princesses?

Eeek hard question as I like quite a few of the Disney princesses, Aurora will always be my favourite though as I used to love sleeping beauty when I was little and she wore a pink dress (FYI my favourite colour is pink, always has been always will be!) I do like Belle and Cinderella though!

7)      Name a scene/moment in a Disney movie that never fails to make you cry?

It’s got to be when Mufasa dies in Lion King

8)      What is the first Disney movie you remember seeing?

The Little Mermaid, oh and Peter Pan.

9)      What is your favourite Disney movie?

I have a few favourite Disney movies, Beauty and the Beast is probably my favourite, along with Tangled, Frozen and Peter Pan! 

Well this was a fun little tag to do and something a little different for my blog. I also tag anyone that wants to do this tag! Hope you enjoyed this and have a great bank holiday weekend! X 

Topshop Brighton Rock Lipstick

The Topshop lipsticks are raved about in the beauty blogging community and I have wanted to try them for a while, I’ve had my eye on a few of the shades and recently my friend Deeya gave me Brighton Rock from the range, thank you! Now this was one of the colours on my list along with, Oh La La, Macaroon and pillow talk that I’ve wanted to try.

So what can I say about these lipsticks have great pigmentation, you can apply them full on or dab them onto your lips for a more subtle look, which I prefer! They are also not drying on the lips but I do advise applying a balm before as sometimes it does settle into cracks in your lips, not cute! Also they last on the lips for ages, always a plus! The lipsticks retail for £8 which isn’t bad for high-street makeup! Brighton Rock is a great shade for summer and I think I will be wearing this a lot, but after trying this one I want more! Have you tried the Topshop lipsticks? X

Smells like summer...

Today it’s sunny in England, shock! So this nice weather has inspired me to write this post about a body lotion that just smells like summer in a bottle! I picked up this bottle in House of Fraser and it’s a Patisserie De Bain body lotion from Rose & Co. I haven’t tried anything from this brand, but the big hook for me on this product is that it smells of coconut ice, I love the sweet smell and it makes me think of summer. The lotion is quite a watery consistency one which I particularly like as it sinks into the skin quickly so it’s a good all over the body moisturiser. It also comes in a pump which is a plus as it’s less messy and better than a tub in my opinion. Also the packaging is pretty standard but looks quite pretty and girly too!

So what’s your smell like summer product let me know! I’m going to enjoy the sunshine this weekend and I hope you all have a lovely weekend doing whatever it is you’re going to do! X 

Obsessed with…

Soap&Glory- Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick

Soap&Glory notoriously known for their bath and body range that smells amazing, seriously there is probably a scent for everyone, my personal favourites the righteous body butter and the butter yourself one, is just uh to die for :P But for today I’m showing you something from their Soap & Glory makeup line up.

This was my first ever purchase from the S&G makeup range and OMG do I love it?! Hell yeah! The sexy mother pucker gloss stick in nudist is just wow, it’s my perfect nude. First of all the packaging is just your standard gloss balm packaging but it looks very sleek in black and pink. Second the formula is great really creamy and has build-able colour too, it’s perfect to swipe all over the lips if in a rush! And thirdly it smells like vanilla and sweets what’s not to love about it? Oh plus they are twist up so no annoying sharpening!

They come in five colours and I think I may need to pick up another shade, possibly plum jam? Priced at £8 and available in Boots plus there is always some sort of offer on right? This is probably one of my favourite lip products and I’m obsessed, and I hope you all have a lovely week! X 

Moisturiser for spot prone skin?

So back in the Easter holidays I purchased the Clean & Clear dual action moisturiser. The things that I love about this product is that it’s oil free, fragrance free and has a spot-fighting ingredient which helps to prevent blemishes. So for the first few weeks I saw a difference in my skin, I would use the Clean and Clear exfoliating face wash before an then apply this moisturiser afterwards onto my skin, morning and night, as it does sometimes get quite dry after I've cleansed it.

Now it does a perfect job for the top half of my face and this moisturiser has definitely prevented any blemishes however on the bottom half of my face especially around the cheeks and around the chin and jaw line it’s been quite temper mental. It does work sometimes but I’ve found recently my skin has become insanely dry. I don’t know if it’s down to this, as it clears the spots but makes my skin so dry afterwards, it could be down to the salicylic acid but I’ve never had a problem with that ingredient before. I haven’t changed anything in my routine as I like to keep it consistent but maybe my skin has had enough of this.

Clean & Clear are one of my favourite skin care brands and this moisturiser does work for my normal/dry skin combination but I think I need to find something else that battles this dry skin issue that I’m currently having. You can’t have the best of both worlds, get rid of blemishes but then have dry skin L. I would recommend this as I have seen results personally, but it may not work for everyone’s skin type. Have any of you tried this product, what are your favourites from Clean and Clear line, let me know. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! X
