Viva La Juicy!

Hello all you lovely ladies. I cant believe ive now got 26 followers! Im chuffed to bits, i haven't been doing this blog for long, so i never expected anyone to follow me! I hope im doing okay!
I love perfume, i love smelling good and i love smelling feminine. I recieved this for christmas from my sister and i love it so much. I would never ever in a shop useully pick this, its not a brand i would useully go for but i was so suprised at how much i loved the smell!
The box and bottle are beautiful. So 'my kind of age style' if that makes sense. You can see that they have targeted the teenage girl market where as a Armarni perfume i have seems to have been targeted at the 20-40 market.
Top notes: Juicy mandarin and wild berries.
Heart notes: Honeysuckle, jasmine petals and gardenia.
Base notes: Amber, caramel woods, vanilla, sandalwood and praline
 The bottle is like something ive never seen before! I love the big pink bow.
Thanks for reading!

Benefit Dandelion Blush Review!

Ive done a couple Benefit posts now and i just love the stuff. Ive never brought a blush from them, and i received this for Christmas i couldn't wait to try it out. Dandelion is the softest shade of blush they do, and it supposed to add radiance and glow to your skin and a subtle pink colour to your cheeks.
                              The box is beautiful, its kind of a flip lid and includes a really soft brush.
You can see the colour is a soft coral pink. The camera doesn't pick it up but you can see the shimmer in the powder.
I used flash on this picture, but i don't know if you can see but in the middle of my hand you can see the shimmer. Its a really nice balance of shimmer and colour, this would be perfect for blusher for a day look or in the night time i would use this as a highlighter.
                          Here is a picture in the daylight to try and show you the colour of the blush.
To buy this blush from Benefit it will cost you £23.50.

Thanks!

FashionistA Double-Take Long Wear Lipstick Haul!

I have thin-ish lips, and i dont suit dark or bright red lipsticks, so i explained this to my sister and asked for a nude lipstick for christmas, she took it on board and got me 3 insted! I was chuffed as every colour she got me was perfect. I love these lipsticks because you can layer them up and make them true to the colour in the stick, or just cover lips lightly for a subtle colour.
                             The colours she got me was Baby Doll Pink, Buff and Cinnamon.
Left to right : Baby Doll Pink, Buff and Cinnamon.

These lipsticks smell amazing and look and feel really conditioning, and as you can see from the picture they look conditioning aswell. I have swiped this over my arm quiet thickly so this will be the colour you will get if you put alot on, but i like to just put a little bit on for a subtle dash of colour. 

You can buy these and more colours from Superdrug for £7 each.
Thanks!

The Best Concealer In The World... MAC Studio Finish!

Hello there. Now, i have terrible bags, terrible spots, and terrible freckles and i think Ive tried every single concealer under the sun, even some MAC ones i really didn't get on with, until..i came across this. This has got to be the best concealer i have ever used. I need a concealer thats thick, high coverage and long lasting and this is that all over. My mum and sister like to use very light concealers and foundations but i personally like to cover everything to give my face a flawless finish.
This is the box it comes in. On the website this is the description is gives. 'A lightweight, creamy, discreetly opaque concealer. Provides a smooth, long-wearing invisible coverage for all skin blemishes. lightweight concealer is so concentrated that a tiny amount can provide opaque coverage of the skin's imperfections and discolourations. It effectively covers dark circles, blemishes, moles, tattoos and birthmarks.' Which for my freckles, under-eye bags and spots is perfect. 
Here is the box, the concealer and a little booklet.
 
The pot of concealer itself, reminds me of the eyeshadow pots, its exactly the same size. The concealer is the same consistency as a balm, and it lasts forever. The one i have in these pictures is a replacement for my current one when it runs out, theres still a little bit left and ive used it everyday for 4 months-ish. Not bad!
 This is the texture of the concealer, the bit i have put on my hand hasn't been rubbed in but you can see the high coverage already. If you suffer with the same problems as me and you like a thicker concealer, this is the best one ive used and probably the best one ill ever find!

The colour i have is NC15 and its available online or in MAC stores for £13.50. 

Thanks!

Im in love..with Vivenne Westwood.

Ive not useually been a big fan of Vivenne Westwood, my sister has a few bits of hers and i never thought ild be converted, but on a recent trip to Bicester village (which is mostly designer outlet shops) i came across this bag and HAD to have it! Its beautiful, big and differnt then anything ive seen before.
 
Im officially in love, its quiet a hard colour to style up, so im definatly going to have to find some clothes to wear it with! I love it so such i had to share it with all of you. What do you think? Do you have anything Vivenne Westwood?

OPI Muppet Collection Gone Gonzo!

My sister is the best sister in the world, she knows me too well and for christmas she added to my OPI glitter collection by getting me the muppet Gone Gonzo! I already have Divine Swine which is purple/pink glitter and this one is very simular glitter but bright blue/ silver. This is amazing, i think i may love it more then Divine Swine!
                                                            This picture is with flash on.


These pictures are without flash and are more true to the colour. With any intense glitters i had to put this on quiet thickly, but to be honest, its worth it right? This colour will be amazing in the summer. If your going to invest in a top nail varnish, its got to be OPI everytime!

Thanks for reading!

Opi Mash up!

Christmas is done and dusted. Boo. But i had a really good one this year. I hope all you lovely ladies did as well!
One thing I'm obsessing about this year is glitter nails! As you'd seen my previous posts with the Opi Katy Perry and Opi Muppet's  i decided to extend my collection. So i kindly brought my mum her very first Opi which i knew shield love, part of the Muppet's collection in Meep Meep Meep. This colour is amazing.
With pinky-red tones and suttle but noticeable glitter, its my idea of heaven (well i did buy this for my mum, but she wont mind me 'borrowing' it!).
 This picture was taken at night with flash.(sorry for smudge on one of the fingers, its driving me nuts!)

                                     This picture was taken with natural daylight with no flash.

Now, i stupidly didn't have any topcoat, and with using touch screens and keyboards all day it wasn't going to last very long. So i had to improvise! For christmas i got the OPI femme de cirque mini set which includes 4 mini Opi varnishes in very suttle pasty pink colours. One of them called I juggle...men, is a glitter top coat. So i decided to use this as my top coat for Meep Meep Meep. Because lets face it, you cant have too much glitter?
                              As you can see, the set includes 3 pale pinks/peach, perfect for summer!

                          I juggle...men. Which i used on top of Meep Meep Meep (see swatch photos!)

Did you get any OPIs for christmas? Thanks for reading!
