My Wish List..



Has anyone tryed the Lancome Hypnose precious cells mascara? Its supposed to be like the Rimmel Lash Accelerator but more expensive (£22.47) but having had good experience with Lancome in the past im keen to try this one. Im currently using Max Factor False Lash Effect and i would re-purchase. Im one of those people who like to use up one mascara before trying another one so i have a few to get through before i would go out buying this one.

CUFF BRACELETS


These are the Cuff Bracelets from The Current Custom, ive wanted these for ages but have yet to buy them. I got the 42" Gold Fill Chain Necklace and have got so many comments on it, i just love how it sits on me and the way its not to in your face.

Arabella court shoes brown


These are the Arabella court shoes in mid brown by Carvela, i don't currently own a pair of nude heels and i don't know if i would wear them much as when i normaly wear a skirt or a dress i wear black opaque tights. Maybe with some skinny jeans? They cost £100 but im quite choosey with shoes i hate open toed heels on myself as i don't like looking at my own feet all night and i don't like ultra pointed shoes as i think they just look like clown shoes. What type of shoes do you like?

And lastly the Mulberry Continental Purse in Brown. ive gradually seen the price of this go up from mid last year (£195) to around christmas (£225) to now (£230) so i proberly should of just splashed out on one when it first went into my wishlist but oh well! hopefully soon.

Relaxing Day.

Yesterday me and one of my friends went to a hair a beauty salon in Woking, Hair by Pietro. It was so nice just to have a few hours to relax and be pampered. I had a Full Body Swedish Massage. This was the first but certainly not the last time i will have one of these, it was soo nice, the woman who was treating me was lovely. I didn't know what to expect but she took me to one of the rooms with dimmed lighting (made me feel less self conscious) and told me to take everything off part from my bottom lingerie and lay face down on the bed with a towel over me. As in the name she did my feet, legs, back, neck, arms and hands.

I then had a Eye Lash Tint and a Dermalogica Deep Cleansing Facial, i couldn't stop feeling my face after it was sooo soft, she took off my makeup and did an Eye Lash Tint first that took about 15-20 mins. she then proceeded to clease, tone, use a face scrub and face mask on me, Asking where my Problem areas are and what i feel my skins needs are. I have quite dry skin so she used the product best suited for me. Some of the products she used where.. Essential cleansing solution, skin prep scrub, multi-active toner, skin smoothing cream,  intensive moisture balance and the intensive moisture masque. which i got samples of all of them part from the toner. After i use up the face products ive already got, im going to buy this range!

What the products claim to do..

Essential cleansing solution

Nourish dry skin while cleansing away impurities. Moisturizing Safflower Oil, Hops and Rosemary deliver moisture where you need it most, while Lemon and Pine Cone extracts rinse away dirt without any dulling residue.

Skin prep scrub

Multi active toner

A true oasis for the jet setter or office worker. Spritz on critical hydration with this refreshing blend of skin repairing Aloe, moisture blinding Sodium PCA plus soothing Lavender, Balm Mint and Arnica.

Skin smoothing cream

Smooth fine dehydrated lines and relieve tightness with this nutrient rich, medium weight cream fortified with Hyaluronic Acid, antioxidant Grape Seed, essential oils and soothing extracts of mallow, Cucumber and Arnica.

Intensive moisture balance

Retexturizing phytonutrients, antioxidant vitamins and firming humectants restore vital moisture and prevent free radical damage to optimize skin health.

Intensive moisture masque

Purfumes Galore


HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

I recently got a few purfumes from my boyfriend for christmas and i thought showing them would be a good way to start my blog. I've tryed uploading a picture from my camera but that was unsuccessful, so ive got a poor quality one from my mobile phone.




So on the left we have Coco mademoiselle by Chanel, this is, for me, very much an evening scent. To be honest i havn't used it that much but one that i will be reaching for much more in future.

Then we have Daisy by Marc Jacobs, i personally love this, you know some people have that signature scent that they always wear and when someone else smells that certain purfume they automatically think of you? well i think this is going to be mine. It lasts long for a EDT, but i still love to spray more on throughout the day as i just love it. Cute bottle too.

Next, how can u miss the Lola by Marc Jocobs, this bottle is very similar to the Daisy one so if you don't like bold bottles sitting on your dresser then maybe not the best one for you, scent wise its unique i havn't smelt one simillar, it is quite strong but will last all day. A scent more for the floral lovers and im usually one for a more sweet smell but its nice to have a range of purfumes.

Then theres Love by Chloe, another more evening scent, for me anyway. ive read alot about this one, in magazines and blogs so i had it in my wish list for christmas. Its not one that i would usually go for but im glad i own it. Really beautiful bottle, has a very delicate chain from the lid to the bottle so be careful when you open it. I would say this has a slight fruity scent to it.

Last but not least we have the iconic Flowerbomb by Victor and Rolf, classic sweet smell, another one i would love to have as a signiture scent if it wasn't soo expensive. Absolutely love this, one that everyone should own at least once in their lifetime! My sister got me this one, its the EDP. She got hers first and was looking at two versions of it, one was slighly cheaper so she went for that one, not relising it was the EDT version, thats fine its no different but just slighly weaker, but when you pay so much money for an purfume you want the best version if its only a case of a matter of pounds. 

Im obviously bias here because i own these, there are more im intrested in buying in the future some of these are the Viva la juicy by Juicy Couture, Miss dior cherie by Dior, Chance eau tendre by Chanel and the Balenciaga purfume. if you own these are know anymore i must try, please let me know.
