Pamper Night



 It isn't all that often when i can have a me night where i just relax, take a bath and do little things that i enjoy doing. 

I usually start off the night with a bath, for this night i was using the 'Rose Queen' bath bomb and it was amazing, it was such a nice spicy/sweet smell and it was so pretty in the bath. Once you dropped the bomb into the water, i found that it took a little time for it to fully disappear because it had so much content inside of it. Rose Queen is beautiful, after it has been in the bath for a while all the flower petals come out and they feel very smooth & moisturising on your body, while make the bath look amazing.

I would then move on to using my after products..

Reniu | Coconut Sugar Rub
 I mostly is this for dry areas around my face & occasionally on my legs. The coconut scrub feels so beneficial on your skin, it's made from all natural ingredients and it is one of my favourite scrubs. This smells exactly like coconut & sugar, it's a very delicious smelling combination. 

The Breakfast Scrub
i have previously written a blog post on this and you can find it here…. :)

The Body Shop is one of my favourite places to go to when i am in need of a moisturiser or cleanser. This 'Vitamin E Gentle Face Wash' works a treat! It is so moisturising and leaves me with a clean & fresh face after wards. I love this product because it is inexpensive, beneficial & just a really great wash.

I cleaned myself with this while in the bath, i always love using this when i take a bath because it's not an exfoliator so it's super smooth on your skin, also because it smells amazing. The Body Shop is on top of their game when it comes to the scents of their products. This is such a good wash as it leaves my skin feeling super clean & fresh.

Vitamin E Cream
This is just a regular moisturiser that you could buy at the super market or drug store. I really enjoy using a moisturiser with Vitamin E because it protects my skin & leaves it feeling hydrated and smooth. Redwin (the brand) always does a great job of making cleansers & moisturisers. 

Lip Butter | Nivea
I am not 100% sure if i love this product as the smell kind of puts me off and I've been meaning to try the others in the range because this lip butter is really good. This doesn't really smell like caramel & cream but it's a really affordable product that leaves my lips looking smooth & well taken care of. Some lip balms leave a white cream residue on the lips and it can be kind of frustrating and thats why i enjoy this one. It would be better with a different smell and better packaging because it is quite hard application. 

I absolutely love this, it has to be one of my favourite task masks ever, this leaves my skin feeling the best it has ever been. It smells super fresh (not really like a cupcake) & i love this product. Later down the line i will be doing a separate blog post on this, so keep your eyes peeled! 

After my bath, my moisturisers and what not i like to make myself a nice warm chai latte (my favourite drink in the world) while pairing it with a few pineapple lumps & dark chocolate to snack on. After preparing the food i like to cosy up in my room, watch a movie and have some laptop time.

Kiss Kiss

Just note, these are not my photos :-) I recently purchased a Revlon balm stain in the colour 'Love-sick'. I have been wanting a crayon shaped lipstick for ages now and i finally found a colour that suits me well, or at least that's my opinion ;) I think that this product is so nice to wear fancy or casual, the colour of the pictures and the lipstick itself are not the colour it looks like on your lips as it looks quite berry like and dark, but in fact when you wear it, it is actually quite pink & vibrant. The lipstick is shimmery/sparkly but once it's on, it is actually a smooth matte kind of look. I love, love, love this product and i am really impressed by the lasting colour and how it leaves my lips moisturised and soft afterwards. I look forward to purchasing other colours in the Just Bitten Kissable Collection from Revlon as the other balm stains seem quite promising. Honestly i was a tiny bit scared to try the balm stain as, you know, i didn't want pink lips for the days to come but i think the name can perceive you as the colour stays on your lips for 12 hours, you just can't feel it there. You know when you wear lipstick and you rub your lips together you can feel it on your lips, i assumed that once i stopped feeling the lipstick on my lips the colour had just washed away. The concept of the colour stain is so you will have the pretty constant colour on your lips up until you wipe the colour off. I was very pleased with this product as i wasn't 100% keen on getting Revlon as i heard better things about different brands, but hey, i have to say i am very impressed. The cost of this balm stain was $9.95 and it is definitely worth every cent! 

{These are not all of the Just Bitten Kissable balm stains, just a few from the Collection}

Outfit Post


So yes, my second post this week, whooo! I thought i would do a quick outfit of the day.
This is the outfit, really simple and conveniently, the plain grey rolled sleeves tee that i usually style
with the outfit was in the wash when these photos were taken so this shirt was the next choice. 

So, the plain see-through sleeveless drop singlet i purchased from Cotton On
was $24.95

The flannel i styled by tying it around my waist is a really cute style piece and i also
 really like this shirt because you can wear it as a t-shirt if it gets a little cooler. 
I purchased this from Zara, this was £39.95 

  The glossy leather looking tights are really easy to 
style as they're black; obviously and can go with anything. 
I rolled the bottom of them so they didn't tuck into the converse, adding a bit more
style ;) The leggings were purchased at Sports Girl and cost $62
The white Converse were bought at Converse; shocker..They were $90.
Hope you enjoyed looking at what i wear, haha.

Girls Got to Have Curls

Hello : )
So i haven't posted on here in ages, 
mostly because i didn't have aaaaanything to write about :( 
But now i do, so here it is haha


So I've really been liking curling my hair lately because naturally, 
my hair is straight. Most people straighten their hair but i like to 
spice things up every now and then with a bit of curls;)


To get this messy curl look i used the Corioliss Pro Curler, 
which i purchased in the Red Leopard Collection Box Set, the curler comes
with a protection glove for when you need to use your hand to 
hold the hair in place-which i don't usually use.
I especially love this curler as you don't need to use a 
heat protectant so you won't get damaged hair once you have used it.


I especially love the Corioliss brand because it never leaves 
my hair feeling dry and/or as if i need to wash it afterwards. 
I also find myself having to use little hairspray to hold the curls
and when i do i prefer using the Vo5 ultimate firm hold just because 
it doesn't leave my hair stiff and crispy. 

The finishing prices of the Red Leopard Collection ended up being
around $330, including the curler and flat iron straightener
And in case you're wondering the Vo5 hairspray is around $6.50

Twilight Bath Bombs and A Relaxing Night


Hello again :-)
So, lately i have been obsessed with this store called Lush. 
It has become quite popular lately and i completely understand why, 
it's amazing! If you haven't heard of it you must go check it out. 
Before i go any further i would just like to point out that these are 
NOT my pictures :) The other day i purchased a bath bomb called 'Twilight'. 
I've not purchased this one before so i thought i would give it a go.
For a relaxing night i would recommend: 
The twilight bath bomb, a cold drink of water to keep you fresh and hydrated ;), 
a few candles lit around your bathroom, your favourite body scrub and lotion,
 cleansing products and for the most relaxing part, a book or something to 
entertain you while you sit back and enjoy


Above is the outside of the bath bomb and its quite cute but its not 'really pretty', that is because Lush obviously wanted the super cool colours to come from the inside. The outside of the bath bomb is a really pretty pink/purple colour and once it soaks in the water for a while the inside blue layer makes 
the water turn magical ;) I love this bath bomb so so much and will definitely 
be re-purchasing it. Twilight made my skin super soft like a babies bottom :p
 The main reason i bought it was for its scent, it smells so good, i can't even describe. 


Here is what i attempted to describe before with the inside blue layer 
making the water a really pretty colour :) To make the bath bomb settle in the water i crumbled it into almost quarters and held it under the running tap for a while and this helped with the aroma, making it smell amazing!


And these are just a few more Twilight bath bombs for you to glimpse at so you know what to look for when you go and buy them at Lush ;)
I recommend these and would give it a 9-10/10 for all round everything
you need in a bath bomb! These are around $5.50-$6.00 so please go give it a try if you want to have soft skin, a relaxing and peaceful night
 and awesome smelling skin and bathroom!

"Cool" Shoes

I havn't written a blog in what seems like forever, i've just been 
so caught up with my life- 
*cough* wifi *cough* internet.
So as a result of my laziness i decided to finally write a post 
and may i add it feels great to be back ;)  
Down below are some snaps of what i would call my 
'cool' shoes and just some 'cool' information about them...


My Doc Martins, and i may say so myself look brand new..
That is maybe because i went all out and picked these and of 
course now they sit in my cuboard untouched because i have 
NOTHING to wear with them. 
Every time i go shopping my main goal of each day is to buy 
at least two outfits that will match with these 
shoes but of course i get so caught up and forget all about it.
 I promise you the next time i will buy outfits
 to match and i will post a picture of how i styled the shoes :)
These were around $300-$350 and i hope i will get enough 
use out of them so i don't regret purchasing them!

 

If i'm being completely honest these shoes have not left my 
feet since i opened the box on christmas day..
They are just so comfortable to be in and they are super stylish and 
cute and they match with every thing; when i say everything, i mean everything. There are so many different ways to style Converse and how to make them work for your look. The Converse i own are white- obviously, they are the ones that go just above your ankle and i prefer these over the Converse that come under your ankle as you can't wear really cute socks with them! I always like to style my shoes with a bit of frilly sock out the top or some sort of cute sock of your choice :) These Converse were exactly $90 and i would recommend these a million times as they are my favourite shoes and i love, love , love them! 


These are the cutest shoes, ever.
I don't wear them as much as my converse as i find that if the weather is a
 little warmer now and my feet turn into a sauna when i wear them. 
But don't let that stop you from checking them out because they're amazing..
I actually purchased these while on my Europe trip in Madrid-Spain 
and I'm deeply in love with them, especially because no one else has them here ;) These shoes don't have a 'name' but the brand is "cool way" and i remember all the other shoes they had and i think i was in shoe heaven;-literally. In the photo you can't exactly see the front part of the shoe because of the angle but it is a knitted sort of pattern and the laces are not such a fluorescent pink but more like a soft coral. These shoes look really nice if you wearing a winter attire with earthy colours and individual sense of style :) I don't remember the price for the shoes but it was somewhere in-between 
the Doc Martins and Converse prices so a average shoe price i guess-haha

Tony & Guy: Salt Spray


I don't think its possible to love something so much, my Tony and Guy 
salt spray has literally taken over my hair.
 It's amazing because it is still good for your hair even though it adds 
volume and texture to it. Usually, i have the spray in during the day 
so by night when I'm going to bed it's very simple just to brush it out of my hair, (so you don't have to worry about gross hair if you've just washed it.) 
The reason i love this product so much is because for me it is an alternative choice for hairspray, it doesn't hold my hair in place but it does do everything else the same as hairspray. Did i mention it smells really goooood? I think even the bottle is quite cute and professional, it's also good for its money. It isn't even that expensive, my bottle was on special for $12 and they're usually around twenty dollars- ish. I wonder if Tony and Guy are friends, or is it the same person?… hahaha

You Smell Nice

HELLO EVERYONE!
This is my collection of some of my favourite smells, Red Door by Elizabeth Arden, the Justin Bieber's Someday perfume and finally, the Japanese Cherry Blossom by the Body Shop. 
And yes, these are my pictures : )
                (My favourite perfumes)

             (Red Door, Elizabeth Arden)

               (Someday, Justin Bieber)

      (Japanese Cherry Blossom, The Body Shop)

I, personally always feel like finding the right perfume that smells nice on me is impossible. Each of the perfumes above all have a very different smell, one is sweet, the other is almost like an antique warm sort of smell while the final one can seem quite fruity. Each individual perfume can smell different on anyone, you may think it smells amazing on you and on the other hand, you might walk past someone and they could think you stink! Thats why i would recommend asking someone if you smell okay before you leave the house, well thats what i do any way. Out of the three that are above, if you're looking for a refreshing smell i would definitely reach out to the Cherry Blossom by the Body Shop, each time i wear it i get quite a lot of compliments and people asking me where i got it from. It smells amazing, it's not too pricey and its an easy bottle to carry if you travel around. Red Door is another great perfume, this is a tricky one to wear because i have heard a lot of reviews from different people saying it doesn't smell all that great on them, but again, it smells different on everyone. It is a little expensive, although i have quite a large bottle it is still a little pricey. Just to be sure that it smells good on you before you buy it, i would highly recommend spraying the tester and then make your decision based on whether it smells okay. The final perfume is Someday, by Justin Bieber. This perfume was a gift and i was a little surprised as it wouldn't be something i would usually try, but in saying that, it smells amazing! The bottle is a little inconveniant as the large flower on the top is kind of annoying if you want to carry it around with you, but don't let that stop you from giving it a go! In my opinion, i think this is a kind of smell that will suit almost everyone, it just depends if you like a sweet/fruity kind of smell. On the money side of things i wouldn't say its too expensive, depending on the size of the bottle you want, but still, it's not a hugely priced perfume.
I hope maybe now you might go check out some of these amazing smells and tell me if you liked them or if they suited you.
