My Summer Top 5 Series - Perfumes!

Hullo Ladies!

This is a post about my favourite summer scents!

For Summer days and Summer nights :-) 

Just Cavalli by Roberto Cavalli - I gorgeous white floral with notes of  Tiare Flower, Neroli and Rosewood. It's gorgeous for a night out. Sexy, grown up and unique!

Mango EDT by The Body Shop - I stunning burst of mango sweetness, great and refreshing for those hot days in the sun. I've nearly finished my new bottle I love it that much, if only they made a larger size! 

Soap and Glory Girligo Moisturizing Body Spray - Technically not a perfume but it's such a gorgeous scent with great staying power that I wear it by itself like a perfume. It's the typical Soap and Glory scent so if you love the smell of The Righteous Butter  then you'll love this!

Armani Code Femme by Giorgio Armani - One of my signature perfumes, I've been in love with it for years. It's sexy and mysterious. Great for wearing all year round but I love it on a summer night out. Has notes of Italian Orange, Honey, Orange Blossom, Jasmine and Sandalwood. 

Miami Glow by Jennifer Lopez - This has been a favourite holiday scent for me for years. It's just an amazing tropical fragrance. Has notes of Coconut Milk, Passion Fruit, Pink Grapefruit, Vanilla, Orange Blossom and Musk. 

So those are my favourite Summer fragrances! 

What are yours?

My Summer Top 5 Series - Nail Polishes

Hi Ladies,

I'm continuing my Summer Top 5 series with Nail Polishes! 

Not Surprising that all five are from my two favourite nail polish brands - Nails Inc and Barry M !

Nails Inc - New Burlington Place , Barry M - Blue Grape, Nails Inc - Portobello, Barry M -Shocking Pink and Barry M - Copper. 

Nails Inc New Burlington Place  - Opaque Rose Gold Shimmer  -  No Topcoat

 Barry M Blue Grape - Bright Cobalt Blue - No Top Coat 

Nails Inc Portobello - Neon Orange Matte Polish - Top Coat 

Barry M Shocking Pink - Bright Blue Toned Pink - No Topcoat 

 Barry M Copper - Opaque Copper Shimmer Polish - No Topcoat

I love wearing a shimmer polish in the Summer, I know a lot of people usually wear them in the Winter which I do also, but I think Shimmers are just so much prettier in sun light. 

I'm wearing Shocking Pink today and it's just so easy to put on! It's a full coverage polish which means you only really need one coat. ONE COAT!! Thank you Barry M! 

Blue Grape is my first Hi Shine Polish from Barry M but I'm desperate for more. I love the look of Mango, Papaya and Greenberry. 

What are your favourite Summer Nail Polishes?

My Summer Top 5 Series : Bright Lipsticks

Hey Ladies!

I'm kicking off my Summer Top 5 Series with bright lipsticks!

My favourite kind of lipsticks :-)

I use them all year round but especially love them in the Summer. 

Looking through my collection I picked out my five favourite, two of them are from Maybelline Vivids, one from Sleek and another two from MAC. 

From Left To Right - Maybelline's Fuschia Flash and Electric Orange. Sleek's Papaya Punch and MAC's Violetta and Girl About Town. 

Like many women my favourite look to go with a Bright Lip is:

A sheer to medium coverage Foundation - my favourite being Bourjois Healthy Mix. 

I like to try and match my lipstick with my blush but use a really light hand so it doesn't look too much on the face. My favourite blushes of the moment are the MUA ones. 

Last but not least I add a quick cat eye with a liquid liner and a some mascara. L'oreal Superliner is great and I love the Maybelline Colosall Mascara :-) 

So those are my top bright lipsticks, what are yours?

My Top 5 Red Lipsticks

Hullo Ladies!

As the sun is shining today and the bright lippy's are out I thought I'd show you my top 5 red lipsticks :-) 

All these lipsticks are ones I love and would repurchase :-) 

They range from all different price ranges from high street to high end, 

From L- R  =  MUA It's A Situation, GOSH Hot & Sweet,  Dainty Doll Saucy Sailor,  M.A.C Red and Maybelline Neon Red.    

MUA It's A Situation Lip Boom 

. I reviewed it not long after I bought it and I loved these lasts months as It's a great vampy berry red lip for the Autumn/Winter. It's a matte formulation and is actually a lot more darker than my camera picked up today. Here is the link to the review. This lip stick is priced at £3 in Superdrug and on the MUA website. 

GOSH Hot & Sweet

I picked this up in the Superdrug clearance for around £3. It's not on the Superdrug website but you might be able to find it in your local store. It''s another gorgeous berry red and it goes on very slick which can sometimes cause bleeding so I like to blot it with some paper when I wear it. 

Dainty Doll Saucy Sailor

The Dainty Doll range has been really popular over the last few months as they're being sold extremely cheaply right now. They are great quality products and are worth checking out if you haven't yet. I bought this in TK Maxx and I adore it. It's a stunning long wearing red lipstick that's great for a night out. I'm loving this lipstick at the moment. 

MAC - M.A.C Red

I bought this nearly two years ago now, to wear to my friends eighteenth birthday party. It was my first red lippy and I loved it at first sight. I was going to pick up Ruby Woo or Russian Red but I didn't like how drying Ruby Woo looked at the time and I couldn't find Russian Red. I did find this beauty though and it's been a staple ever since. I love it. You can buy this at MAC counters and on the MAC website for £14.

Maybelline - Neon Red 

This is a recent purchase but I'm already in love with it. I was slightly worried how a yellow/orange toned lipstick would look on me but I'm just in love with it. It's a great daytime red for the summer. I can see myself loving this in the months to come.  You can buy this for £7.19 in Boot's and Superdrug.

So those are my top 5 red lipsticks! 

What are yours?

My Top 5 Spring Scents

Hullo Ladies!

I'm a big fan of fragrances so I thought I'd show you my favourites scents for Spring. 

Even though I wear these fragrances all year round these are the ones I find myself reaching for most often lately.

Milan From NEXT

Top - Melon and Green Apple

Middle - Magnolia and Violet

Base - Sandalwood and Amber 

It's such a gorgeous scent, it reminds me of DKNY Be Delicious but extremely affordable. NEXT do some amazing scents and all of them are worth checking out :-) 

Mango From The Body Shop

Top, Middle and Base - MANGO! Yay! 

This is for those springs day when the sun is shining and I'm getting all excited for Summer! It's a gorgeous juicy scent and I'm going through it far too quickly :-) I love it!

idole d'ARMANI from Giorgio Armnai

TOP – Celmentine, Honey, Ginger, Pear, Almond, bitter orange and Artemisia.

MIDDLE – Rose, Jasmine and Saffron

BASE – Patchouli, Vetiver and styrax

An unusual scent that I find very addictive, mostly I smell honey, pear and patchouli. It's a gorgeous scent but I think it's been discontinued as I keep seeing it in the clearance stand. :-(

Oh, Lola from Marc Jacobs

TOP - Wild strawberry, raspberry and pear

MIDDLE - Cyclamen, Peony,  magnolia

BASE - Vanilla tonka bean and sandlewood

A stunning everyday scent. Very girly and youthful. It's a great fruity floral scent but is unique in its own way. Worth checking out! 

Very Hollywood from Michael Kors

TOP – Mandarin Orange, Bergamot  and Raspberry

MIDDLE – Orris Root , Ylan Ylang, Jasmine, Gardenia

BASE – Amber, Vetiver and Oakmoss

The only strong floral scent I own. It does have some fruity notes but those strong florals take over this fragrance and yet I still love it. I got it for my 20th birthday off my best friend and I find it very sophisticated. It's my go to wedding fragrance but I've been using it a lot lately.

What's Your Favourite Spring Scent?

My Top 5 Christmas Movies

Hi Lovely People!

I'm sitting on the sofa, with a cup of hot chocolate and Elf is on the television!

 It's turning out to be a great Sunday afternoon.

 I've been thinking about doing this post for a few weeks now so I suppose this is the perfect time!

These are just some of the movies I make sure to watch in the festive season :-) 

1) The Muppet Christmas Carol

Image taken from Wikipedia

My Brother and I watch this movie together every year, It's been a favourite since I was a kid. 

It's a great version of the classic Christmas Carol. 

If you haven't seen it yet then your really missing out! 

2) The Grinch 

Image taken from Google

Probably my favourite Jim Carrey movie.

 He's amazing in it. I'm pretty sure I know most of the words to this movie I've watched it so many time :-) 

3) Elf

Image Taken from imdb.com

I went to see this in the cinema when it came out and I'm telling you not a single person in the theatre wasn't smiling when they walked out. It such a funny, festive and unique movie.  

4) The Santa Clause 

Image taken from Google

Tim Allen was a house hold name when I was younger, I remember watching Home Improvement every night.  I love this Christmas movie, they made a few sequels but to me this was the best :-) 

5) The Nightmare Before Christmas

Image taken from Google

I like to watch this at least twice a year, Halloween and Christmas. It's a great movie with lots of wonderful songs to sing along to :-) 

There where a few more movies I could include like Home Alone, The Family Stone and White Christmas but then this post could go on forever.

What is your favourite Christmas Movie?

My Top 5 Nude/Neutral Nail Polishes

Hullo Lovely Ladies!

I haven't done a nail polish post in the longest time! 

So today I decided to do a Top 5 for you...my favourite nudes!

No 1) Ciate Bon Bon

This beauty was a freebie in a magazine not so long ago, at the time I was gutted that out of the three colours you could choose from there was only the nude left in the store but now I have to say It is one of my all time favorites, it's goes beautiful with my skin tone and looks amazing in just two coats. 

No 2) This is probably one of my most famous nude polishes, its one of Leighton Dennys best selling shades. Supermodel is a full coverage polish that looks very chic. I wore this out shopping the other day and had plenty of compliments! I also had this free with a magazine but have no doubts that I would purchase it again when I finish it!

No 3) A beautiful yet inexpensive polish is Pinball from the Asda George range, you get full coverage in two coats and its very glossy. The formulation is beautiful and its very high quality for the price. Definetly one you should pick up if your looking to add to your nude collection. 

No 4) Another famous nail polish, one of nails inc's Hero Shades is Porchester Sqaure. This came in the recent TSV from QVC and I was really excited to try it. It gives great coverage in two coats and is very glossy. The only thing is, sometimes I love wearing it but then other times I feel that it can make my skin look dirty...strange I know. It's still a favourite nude though that I wear constantly and I actually really love it on my toes! 

No 5) One of my first Nails Inc nail polishes was Jermyn Street, at the time I didn't appriecte what a beauty it is! It's very similar in colour to Supermodel but not as full coverage. You will need about two or three coats to get opaque coverage! 

So there they are! 

What is your favourite nude polish??
