Weekly Wishlist #1

So....I admit, I spend way to much of my time window shopping on the net.

I don't seem to be the only one though, I see a lot of these "wishlist" posts on many blogs and I thought I'd do my own! 

These are just some of the things I was coveting last week! 

ASOS Curve Bow Coat 

It's bloody gorgeous but I just can't afford it right now :-( booo! 

Stila Lip Glaze Set 

I found these on the ASOS beauty sale section! 

All those lip glaze's for just £12.50, not a bad deal! I love the Stila lip glaze's I own two that I bought from TK Maxx. 

GHD Cherry Blossom Hair Straightener

All I can say is...I really need a new one! 

I think I've owned my current GHD's for about 6 years now. They're such an investment, I remember my mam having to repeat buy a lot of cheaper brands before we caved for our GHD's, it's was a good decision. 

ASOS Scallop Double Buckle Across Bag 

I think this bag would be gorgeous this spring! It's such a stunning colour :-) 

Vera Wang Lovestruck Floral Rush EDP

I have an addiction to perfumes and a few weeks ago I tried this in Boot's and really liked it. I was very impressed because I don't have much love for the original Lovestruck. 

What have you been lusting after recently?

I Heart Perfume TAG!

Hullo Lovely Ladies

*Sigh...* -_- 

The Perfume obsession continues...I just watched the Eleventh Gorgeous I Heart Perfume Tag Youtube video and I loved the questions so much that I've decided to do the tag as well! 

What was the first perfume you ever purchased?

The first perfume I ever purchased myself was Valentino Rock and Rose. I bought it from Duty Free Summer of 2011. I loved it so much, it was my first high end perfume. 

What's your signature scent?

I don't really have one, I have so many different perfumes that it changes on a daily basis. I do have those certain Holy Grail perfumes though : Armani Code, Roberto Cavalli and Vera Wang Princess Night. 

What is your most recent purchase?

Loverdose by Diesel - I got it in the Boxing day/January sales. 

When I tried it when it came out about a year ago I wasn't too fussed with it but after I bought it and wore it on my skin I fell in love with it! So glad I took the chance and bought it. 

Which perfume would you wear at night time/date night?

Roberto Cavalli or Armani Code - There both very sexy and mysterious scents but strange enough they are very comforting scents too. I like to spray my scarf with them in the winter and just have a good snuggle with it :-) 

What is your favourite spring/summer scent?

For Christmas I was given Oh Lola by Marc Jacobs and I literally can't wait for spring to get here so I can start wearing it more because I feel like it's just going to be an incredible scent when the sun starts to come out!  Another great one for spring/ summer is Armani I'dole d'Armani, it's a lush crisp, spicy scent. 

If im out at night time in the Summer I love to wear Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears. It's so delicious and sexy. It's been a favourite of mine for years! 

What is your favourite fall/winter perfume?

In the fall I love to wear Tresor Midnight Rose and again in the winter I like to wear Armani Code or Roberto Cavalli. 

What is your favourite scent category? ( Floral, Fruity, Oriental, Aquatic, Gourmand)

My favourite scent category is Warm Oriental or Gourmand. I obviously like scents that are in different categories but my favourite scents seem to be either Oriental or Gourmand fragrances. 

What perfume are you currently lusting after?

I'm currently lusting after Dolce and Gabbana The One. I want it so much :-) It's exactly the kind of perfume I like, sweet but in a classy, soft subtle way.

What fragrance/Cologne do you like on your significant other? 

I don't have a significant other at present but when i'm on a night out I love a guy who wears somthing sexy. Something like Obsession by Calvin Klein or 1 Million by Paco Rabanne.

So that's my I <3 Perfumes Tag completed! 

The people I'm tagging are : 

 cotton candy fro

Juyey Bats!

&

Beauty Shades :-) 

I also tag anyone else who fancies doing it and if you do I'd love it if you left your links in the comment section :-)

Eau My Giddy God - NEXT - Paradise

Hullo Ladies!

I received a good few fragrances for Christmas and bought a few in the sales too so I thought I'd start reviewing some for you.

This is Paradise from Next.

It's one of thier top selling fragrances and I can understand why.

It's a lovely fresh and fruity floral with some nice green notes to keep it different. 

It has great lasting power and projects well, which means your more likely to get those "Ohh...you smell great" compliments we all love! 

Next are great for doing sets for their perfumes and the one I received was a 30ml bottle and a roller ball! 

My first ever roller ball which was exciting. I'm always hearing about them on blogs but don't see a lot of them in UK stores.

It's a very pretty scent and isn't like the usually sickly sweet that you get with most inexpensive fragrances at  the moment.

A 30ml bottle costs around £6.50 

A 100ml bottle costs £10

The bottle itself is sturdy and the glass is thick so it's less likely to break in your handbag, although the bulky packaging may be a problem if you dislike carrying around the extra weight. 

I think it's a great scent to wear for everyday maybe for work or just out to the shops. It's beautiful and unoffensive. 

Next have a few perfume that I've been wanting for awhile, they have some amazing dupes. Their Diamonds perfume is a dupe for Miss Dior Cheri, their Eau Nude fragrance is a dupe for Coco Mademoiselle Chanel and the beautiful Define is a dupe for the Armani She fragrance. 

You can buy these perfumes from Next stores or online.

Have you tried the Next perfumes?

What's In My Bag :-)

Hullo Lovelies!

I love a good "What's in my Bag" post. 

It's just that nosy side to me I guess. 

I've recently been looking for a new handbag as my old one is falling apart. I can't blame it though, it's been good to me these last three years! 

I finally bought a new one earlier in the week so I thought I'd finally do my own What's In My Bag post :-) 

Is it just me or does everyone find it difficult to take an "attractive" picture of things like Handbags or High Heels.....Arghhh! 

I bought this Kelly Brook shoulder/briefcase bag in New Look and I fell in love with it the moment I found it! 

It was the last in the sale, originally £29.99 down to £20

The inside material is black with white polka dots! 

It was an extra treat, I was so excited to find the bag I completely neglected to look inside it until after I had bought it.

It has many extra pockets to keep things safe or hidden. 

So here's what's in my bag! 

Metallic Bow Purse - I bought it from Dorothy Perkins on my last Birthday. 

Soap and Glory Hand Food - Great for keeping my hands soft and smelling yummy! 

Hair Bands - Always lose my bobbles so I'm determined to keep these in my handbag. 

Hair Pins/Daisy Clip - Handy to keep around on those Bad Hair Days!

Samsung Mobile - Just a boring old mobile! Nothing Fancy :-) 

Colour Unlimited Lip Gloss - I received a set of these from my auntie on Christmas and they are surprisingly good! One of the most pigmented lip glosses I own! 

MAC Lipstick in Please Me - I love this lippy, its a lovely subdued pink that gives you that "polished" look. It's a matte finish but not too drying which is great!

Pip & Co Umbrella - I got this for Christmas too! It's very cute with some cats chasing a butterfly! 

Soap and Glory Body Spray in Glam A Lot -  A gorgeous scent that I only recently bought but have fallen in love with. I will be reviewing it very soon :-) 

Armani Code For Women - It's one of my signature scents and I use it on a regular basis. To me It's a great mix of comforting yet mysterious! I've loved it for a long time and if you haven't smelt it yet...you need too soon! 

Kindle Fire - I'm a book worm...always has been! I like to keep my kindle on me if I'm out because i'm usually in the middle of some amazing novel that I just NEED to read :-) 

So there you go! 

That's everything that I keep in my handbag!

Have you done this post yet? If you have I'd love it if you left me the link :-)

Project 10 Pan

Hullo!

Project 10 Pan has been around awhile now and a lot of bloggers take part in it. 

It's a great Idea, especially if like me you have lots of certain products hanging around that just seem like they never get used up! 

The idea is to pick 10 products and try to use them up before you start buying more! 

The Products I picked are:

Laura Geller Spackle Under Makeup Primer

- 10% Left -

I've had this for going on 2 years now and it's very nearly finished, I'm determined to use it up completely if i'm going to be buying another one. 

N-SPA Apple Mint Crunch Body Scrub

 - 90% Left - 

 I own so much bath products that I literally have been given a warning by the parents to stop cluttering the bathroom cupboards with half empty bottles! Tut Tut. 

The Body Shop Satsuma Body Butter 

- 40% Left - 

One of my favourites lines from the body shop is their body butters and I own about 12 of them now! Which means I seriously need to start using them up! 

Aussie Dual Personality Smooth and Shine Milk 

- 80% Left -

I love Aussie product but they can be slightly out of my price range which means I get slightly carried away when they are on clearance in Superdrug! I picked up a few of these bottles, so I'm making more of an effort to actually use them! 

19 Mirror Shine Lipstick in Bee-Hive

 - 50% Left - 

I used to use this lipstick all the time but recently I've been more into other lip products. I picked this because I really want to see if I can get back into it as I remember loving how it used to make my lips feel :-)  Super Soft and moisturized!

The Body Shop Love Ect... EDP 

- 10% Left - 

I love this perfume but I own so many at the moment I want to start finishing some of the bottles, I'm nearly through with this one so It shouldn't take long! 

Demeter Jelly Belly Wild Blackberry Peach Cobbler Cologne Spray 

- 99% Left -

I really like it but I always seem to pass on it in the mornings when I'm picking what fragrance to wear, so I've decided to throw it in my handbag and see if I have more of a chance of using it up! 

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream 

- 8% Left - 

I have a love/hate relationship with this BB cream, some days it looks great on me then other days it can look horrific! All according on how my skin is on the day I guess. I don't think I'll be buying it again, so as soon as I can finish it the quicker I can go try something different. 

The Body Shop Carrot Moisture Cream 

- 60% Left - 

I used to use this a lot but later found products that I felt were better so I hip it in the back of my draw. I'm determined to finish it! It's only a 50ml tub so It shouldn't take too long :-) 

Soap and Glory Hand Food 

- 30% Left - 

I really love this hand cream, it smells gorgeous but I was recently given a new tube for Christmas so I want to finish it soon.

So that's the products I'm going to try to use a lot more of!

Are you taking part in a Project 10 Pan? 

What products are you trying to use up?

REVIEW - MUA - Undressed Palette

Hullo Again!

I've been meaning to write this review for awhile now. 

I'd heard so much about the MUA palettes, especially this one!

The Undressed pallete is a range of 12 neutral eye shadows that range from creamy white to glittering blacks. 

Im a big fan of neutral palettes, you can make some many beautiful eye looks with them without having to try too hard!  That's mainly because all the eye shadows in this palette looks gorgeous together!

This pallete is known for being a nearly exact dupe for the very famous Urban Decay Naked Palette. I own the Naked palette and can honestly say that this is very similar, not only in shade colour but in quality too.

For the price this is an unbelievably great palette and I actually bought it for some of my friends and family on Christmas because It's one that I think everyone, even those who wear only bright eye shadows or no eye shadows at all, will use at some point. 

I gave one to a friend who has never used eye shadows before because I believe this is great for beginners. They don't have to worry about making some kind of  faux pas with this palette.

 

Onto the quality of the shades.

  Colour wise they are all very pretty, just like in the Naked palette there are a range of mattes, shimmers and glitter shades. 

Pigmentation is great and they are smooth to apply.

I find slight fall out with the darker or more glittery shades but so are a lot of more expensive eye shadows.

Lasting power isn't as long as some brands but using a good primer solves this problem for me. 

All in all I would definitely buy more MUA palettes in the future. 

Have you tried this palette? 

Love it or do you feel its slightly over rated?

Recent Haul :-)

Hullo Lovely Blog Readers :-) 

I've managed to do a little light shopping recently and I thought I'd show you what I've bought !

I couldn't find any Soap and Glory left in the sales but I found this body spray set and thought it was a good deal anyway!

I have already owned Mist You Madly and really liked it and I've been wanting to try the other body spray scents I've heard about. 

The set contains 100ml bottles of :

Mist You Madly

Girligo

Glam - A - Lot

This set was £8.50 from Boots. 

Just before Christmas when out shopping my my Nan I found these gorgeous black patent pointed toe heels in New Look with gunmetal studs on the back. I was in love but I had already asked for what I wanted for Christmas so even though they were on sale I left the store without them. 

When I went shopping last weekend I persuaded my brother to let me have a look at the New Look sale and they still had some there! Not only that but they had been reduced again! Obviously it was fate telling me that I needed to get them :-P 

Was £19.99 - Down To £10 - Reduced Again To £5!!!! Eeeek!

Today while in ASDA I picked up the Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Shampoo and Conditioner

. They smell really nice. 

I also picked up some hair bands (Bobbles!) as I ALWAYS end up losing all of them, so I'm in a constant need for more!

Then I noticed that the Glade Festive Candles were £2 each so I picked up the Orange and Spice.

So that's my latest haul!

Small I know but hey its January....funds are always low! :-) 

Have you tried the Soap and Glory Body Sprays? Which is your favourite?
