Hello my lovelies.
So it looks like summer (if you could call it that) is officially over. I thought I would get in one last blog post that doesn't include cosy jumpers, festive drinks and the Christmas hype.
As some of you may be aware if you follow me on Twitter, I am lucky enough to be jetting off to New York City in a couple of weeks! Eeeek!! My parents have always promised me and my sister that once we have both turned 21, they would take us to New York as part of our present/last family holiday. I turned 21 a few years ago we have all been waiting on my sister who finally turned 21 this year. We are lucky enough to be going there for 5 days, so I have started buying alot of bits and bobs to go with (pack with me post coming soon).
One of the main things on my 'to buy' list was a digital camera, I couldn't think of anything worse than carrying my DSLR round all day and in the evening when we are all dressed up. I was trying to get my hands on the Canon G7x but if you live in the UK you would know its really hard to get hold of, so I opted for the Sony RX100 which apart from the flip up screen is almost identical. I LOVE IT!!! I would say its almost better than my Canon 600d. Once I have been to New York and used the camera non stop, I will post a full review.
Anyway... Onto the Favs.
Bondi Sands Everyday Tan
I have been on the hunt for a good, non streaky/non orange gradual tan for what seems like forever. I have my tanning mousses which are all good but I wanted something that I could use in between to either top up or for when I couldn't be bothered to fake tan. My Sister actually recommended this tan and its soooo good. It doesn't apply that well with your hands its much better if you use a mitt, the tan has more of a green undertone so its very natural and can be used everyday.
Argan Oil Heat Defence
I am always on the hunt for something new for my hair, my hair has been ombred for just over a year now and its starting to look really dry and flat. You can guarantee that every time I wash my hair I forget to put in any heat defence spray or any oils, so I have invested in this heat defence spray with Argan Oil it in. Firstly this stuff smells amazing and secondly it cost less than £5! I know right, Perfect! On all serious notes, this stuff is amazing, it makes my hair feel so much softer and it adds a slight shine to the hair.
Ear Cuff
I have never really been one for ear cuffs, I'm not sure why, they have just never interested in me. My Auntie actually got me these (they come with one for each ear) for Christmas and they have been shoved in a drawer as I cant get rid of them but I also never really had any intentions of wearing them. After a massive blitz of my bedroom I rediscovered them and gave them ago. They are so cute, and because they are all joined together it looks like multiple piercings. The only thing I would say is, they can be a little uncomfortable especially if you have piercings. I have a few piercings on each ear and they kind of get it the way with the cuff.
Miss Dior
Firstly, how cute is that bottle?! I was initially going to take a picture of the large bottle but this free sample looked much cuter. I'm not even going to try and explain what notes are in this perfume as I have no idea, but it does smell very classy, yet girly at the same time. Perfect for summer and winter. Its one of those perfumes that you will never get sick of. Love it.
Thierry Muglar Body Cream
So I recently brought myself the Thierry Muglar Alien perfume and the perfume was actually the same price on its own or in a gift set. Obviously I went for the gift set, everyone loves to get something for free these days. The gift set included, a shower gel, body lotion and this. It looks like it should be an eye cream, but it is such a thick moisturiser and smells so strong, I think its one of those lotions you can rub into your skin instead of wearing perfume.
Morphe 12nb Palette.
Lastly but most definitely not least .. the Morphe 12nb palette. I have been trying to get my hands on this for literally the longest time. Every time I have gone to order it, it has been out of stock. I went onto Beauty Bay a week or so ago to buy some new make up brushes and just had a little look to see if there was a date of when this palette would be back in stock .. I nearly fell off my chair, it was in stock. I have never placed an order so fast. It only took a couple of days to arrive and I can assure you it is as beautiful in real life as on the website. All of the shadows are insanely pigmented and gorgeous. Next on my list is the 35O palette.
Until next time...
