SCENTS FOR SPRING

Wednesday, 9 April 2014


I'm not really a perfume girl, and I tend to get a perfume and stick to it until it's gone, which is why the perfumes I have been rocking for Spring will most likely also be the perfumes I will be sporting for Summer. So, if you have any scents that aren't too expensive, let me know in the comments to help me grow a love for perfumes.

My favourite perfume at the moment has to be Victoria's Secret Sheer Love, which Megan gifted me after a spree in the duty free when she went on holiday back in October, and I am savouring every spritz of this. Picture the perfect balance of a sweet, fruity and slightly floral scent and you have this. I knew a perfume description post was going to be a bad idea...

Then I have three from the Ted Baker Woman collection, which I got in a set at Christmas time from relatives, and I really like them. First point, they smell great, second, they have rose gold caps. What more could you want?
The first of the trio I have been loving is Pink. Okay, imagine the typical Soap & Glory scent, intensified, made into a liquid and put into a bottle - that is the only way to describe this one, and I freaking love it.
Nude is more of a musky floral which I have been putting on my wrists pretty regularly recently, and it may be taking over my love for Pink, but we'll see how it goes. It might sound weird, but somehow I think the name of this one reflects how it smells...
Orange is the least used out of the bunch, but I still really like the scent of it. It's a stronger one out of the bunch, and seems to be pretty similar to the old Next Just Pink fragrance, just toned down and less headache-inducing.

After visiting Megan's house (and sniffing her wrists every day at school), I have a few more added to my list, and I might actually buy myself a perfume, which is something very unusual for me...

ON WEDNESDAYS WE WEAR PINK

Wednesday, 15 January 2014


Catch the Mean Girls reference there? 10 points to you. Recently I have been standing at my Muji drawers (soon to be an Ikea Alex - I am very excited) and staring at all things pink; perfumes, lips, nails, and even a brush. Am I going a little cray? I think so. But today I shall be sharing the love for the pretty shade and going through my picks from the categories.

Lips: The newest addition is the Kiko Smart Lipstick in 912. As soon as I set eyes on this I instantly thought that it was a possible dupe of MAC Impassioned and if so, that is another to add to my MAC Lipstick wishlist. For something a little more balmy, I always opt for the Revlon Lip Butter in Sweet Tart which is the colour that really got me into wearing pinks. Another offering is the Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Oxford Street Fuchsia which doesn't suit me all that well but the formula is amazing.

Cheeks: For a powder offering, the Stila Positively Pink Cheek Palette has recently made its way into my collection, at from a first impressions point of view, it is gorgeous, and I can't wait to use this more often. For a cream blush, the MUA Blush Perfection Cream Blusher in Bittersweet is a great one for a budget offering, coming in at only £2 a pop, so I assume more of these will soon enter my collection.

Nails: I rarely sport a pink polish because not many suit me, but these 3 are some of my favourites. Ciaté Candy Floss is a gorgeous bubblegum pink colour, and after I went through a similar Gosh one entirely, this is the next best thing, and I own 2 of them. On the theme of Gosh, we have Flamingo, a bright medium pink colour, which I adore as it reminds me of summer. Finally, we have Rimmel Strawberry Fizz which is another medium pink colour which looks pretty good on toes as well as fingers.

Miscellaneous: So, I couldn't write a post about pink products without including the Real Techniques Stippling Brush which is the perfect blush-buffer, foundation's best friend, and an all round multitasker and my face appreciates it greatly. Then for fragrance I have this mini of the Ted Baker Woman Pink scent, and I love this at the moment, as it smells exactly like the general Soap and Glory scent, and I adore that.

So, I have been thinking pink recently, and it probably won't be stopping for a while.
What colour is on your mind beauty-wise?
