Favourite body treats!

Recently, I've been loving 'Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Radiant Body Lotion' and 'Gorgeous by Gok body butter with Argan Oil'.

The Daisy body lotion RRP's at £22 from House of Fraiser and I got the Gok Wan body butter in a set ( the only ones that I can find now are in sets on eBay).
The Daisy body lotion perfectly complements the pefume and leaves you feeling and smelling fresh. It is a beautiful fragrance for spring as it is quite floral and fruity and isn't too heavy on the skin- it leaves your skin looking beautiful and radiant. Also, it soaks into your skin really quickly so you don't have to wait too long to dress after putting it on. The packaging is just adorable!
Gorgeous by Gok Wan has a really strong scent and so I think if you're wearing it, you can miss a day of wearing perfume. It has a really unique scent but it really is gorgeous (no pun intended). I think the packaging for this is really nice and vibrant. One of my dislikes to this product, however, is that it doesn't sink into your skin easily and it is quite heavy on the skin as it is a butter and not a lotion but the amazing scent overpowers the negatives and that's why I love it so much. The scent lasts for 24 hours + which is amazing and you have to keep moving to appreciate how lovely it is. ( Can you tell I like the scent?)

I am on a quest to try quite a few different lotions and bod butters to find a staple one but these just smell too good to leave untouched!

Shopping!!

Sorry that I haven't blogged in a while, I've been really busy revising for exams. However, I have saved a few things that I have bought recently and thought I'd do a blogpost about.

The skirt was £10 from River Island in the sale section, the MUA foundation in Fair was only £2 (barginous!!), the MUA blusher in Shade 5 was £1, the OPI Gold Shatter Nail Polish was £11 , the Barry M Retro Collection Nail Varnish was £1.99, the Barry M lip gloss was £4.49 in Toffee and I can't remember how much the Avon Colour Trend lipsticks were (sorry) but they were in shades Flirty and Lucky Kiss.

These are some things I've bought lately, I didn't really have enough to do a blog post on before, hence why I didn't do one.

The MUA make up is actually really good quality for the price that you pay so I thought if I tried some of the products it wouldn't cause much harm to my bank balance. I've not really tried much of the make up yet but I thought that the brght shades of the lipsticks would be lovely for spring/ summer for a bolder approach and to brighten up a plain outfit. However, I am absolutely loving the orange one in 'Flirt'- it is very similar to Hayley Williams' Mac collection in the shade 'Sounds Like Noise' but of course is a lot cheaper. Also, the white packaging makes it super easy to find in your bag when out and about. It's quite long lasting but unfortunately rubs off very easily if you have a drink or some food. I also think that the Barry M and OPI nail polishes will look really pretty for a girly spring look and can make a blod statement to an outfit.

I must say, I am proud of myself for buying a skirt as I'm not usually a skirt kind of person but I couldn't resisit. I just loved the floral ditsy print on a bold red with gold buttons down the front and a cute little brown belt. It will look lovely to brighten up and outfit and hangs loosely down to the knee. The small flowers mean you can wear it with quite a few colours such as tan brown and white.

 

I'm sorry if I rambled and I will try to upload a lot more frequently, I'm just struggling to find ideas to blog about.

Estée Lauder Lipstick Review

So, this is a review of my favourite lipstick by Estée Lauder. It’s from the Pure Colour range, blushing crème in shade 55 in a really cute gold tube. The colour is a really gorgeous dark terracotta/ red and it is really long lasting so good for everyday wear. I’d say it lasts for around 4 or 5 hours without needing topping up, even having a drink doesn’t have too much of an impact on it. The only problem that I seem to have with this lipstick is that when it starts to fade, it works from the centre of the lips outwards so you look like you’re only wearing lip liner- I don’t know if anyone else has this problem with lipsticks, if you do, please comment then I know it’s not only me! Luckily, it’s so moisturising and isn’t shiny unlike some other Estée Lauder lipsticks I’ve tried but if you like a bit of shine then most lip glosses look beautiful over the top, I use a Barry M glossy tube in GT8 called ‘Hint of Red’ which looks really nice together.

 From the lovely set I got at Christmas, I would definitely recommend this delightful lipstick and there are now more in the collection which are available in shops such as Estée Lauder, Boots,  Selfridges, Debenhams, House of Fraiser and quite a few more stores. It is a beautiful spring colour it can work well around so many outfits- when this runs out I will definitely be buying a new one!
