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?
