January favourites

Hey hunnies!
Tonight has been pretty heavy with bio revision so I thought I would break it up and do my January favourites :)

January has been a great month for trying out new products that I got for Christmas and trialing them for a whole month has given me a good in site into what they are like so here goes :)
I got this wonderful surprise under the tree and it is my favourite smell ever.  I went into Selfridges about 3 months ago looking for a new perfume after my Vivienne Westwood 'Boudoir' had run out, and nothing could match the classicness of this smell.  It's just beautiful and would definitely recommend it to anyone else on the look out for a new smell!

I also got this bad boy for Christmas and it was my main pressie.  I have always been into writing everything down as it makes me more relaxed about everything.  So for Christmas I asked for a filofax and I got the Finsbury personal in yellow.  It's honestly the coolest thing ever and it's in one of favourite colours ever, thanks mum! hehe


I got a few sparkly nail polishes for Christmas and this made me discover how much I love the impact of red nails!  I wore them with a white dress to prom last summer and I love how something so simple can change your outfit.  This month I have been wearing 'Risky Red' by 17.  This polish is cheap and cheerful however didn't stay chip free for long :(  Another red polish fav is Revon Red by Revlon.

I went to Boot's over the Christmas hols (my favourite sale!) and I picked up a No.7 skin care set for half price- £12.50 :D In the set you get little bottles of beautiful skin day and night cream- perfect for travelling.  I used mine up in January and I will definitely be going back to repurchase!  Foundation goes on top of the day cream like a dream and my skin is nice and hydrated in the morning after using the night cream.  If you have tried this please tell me what you think!

They are the things I have been loving in January, thank god it's nearly February!
If you have a favourites post, leave the link and I will check it out :)

NOTW: nails of the week

Hey hunnies!

As i'm in sixth form and I can wear nail varnish I am constantly buying and trying new colours to dress up my hands with.  I have always loved painting my nails and I thought I would show you guys what I went with for this week:



(Barry M nail polish £2.99, colour: indigo)

Barry M is my favourite nail polish ever, it's cheap as chips and they have every colour known to man (one for every mood!).  This week I went for the colour Indigo because i'm usually all about the bright colours (orange, yellows) but I thought I would try out a darker colour and it's working for me :)

(base coat by Rimmel £5.49)

I thought I would give this base coat a mention because I picked it up at asda for about £5.49 but it is the best base coat I have ever come across.  Since I always wear nail polish my nails never get chance to breath but this has kept them in great condition.

Make sure you let me know what you guys think and what colours you have of Barry M :)

January wishlist

Hey hunnies!

Payday still seems a world away so I thought I would make a post about the items I would buy if I had the money hehe (online window shopping!)

1.  Tile Print High Neck Dress £75
This dress is from Topshop and I am in love with the style of it.  The high neck in a dress is something we don't see often enough and the pattern is just gorgeous.  I thought the price was a little steep but I suppose this is the usual price for a dress from Topshop, and it's so worth it. Topshop you never get it wrong!

2. Iphone 5
I have wanted an iphone in forever and hopefully I will get one for my birthday :)  They are so slick and classy and having everything such as- music, photos and internet- all in one place really attracts me to a phone like this.  If you have one let me know your verdict, are they worth the money?

3. Dior nail glow £18
On my facebook page, I saw that Vogue had posted about this product and it immediately intrigued me.  Natural looking nails are sometimes the best option for school, work etc. so I need to check this out.  Something tells me it will be worth splashing out the £18...

4. Cambrigde Satchel £105
These satchels are to die for, I see people in town with them all the time and they are just so classic looking which I love.  I need to own one asap and I constantly check the website to see what limited collections they have at that time.  This one caught my eye as I loved the check section in the middle.

Thanks for reading hunnies!  Let me know what's on your wishlist this month :)

My winter saviour

Hey hunnies!

I suffer from really chapped lips in the winter and so i'm constantly looking for the next lip balm that says it will make it better and the other week I discovered the most awesome balm ever.  Carmex!!  Why am I so late at discovering this fabulous thing?

The packaging is so handy just to throw in any sized hand bag and works like a dream under lipstick!  Not to mention the smell which is amazing, if you are a fan of this product and are repurchasing make sure you pick up the cherry version- it's to die for!

Make sure you tell me if you've tried out this balm and what you think!
