Double Juice!

Juicy Couture have two new fragrances out for summer.

There's Juicy Couture Malibu in the orange bottle.
This has notes of passionfruit, which I love, jasmine and musk.



And there's Couture La La in the pink bottle.

This one has notes of mandarin, sugar and musk.



I like them both. They are really fresh and summery. I don't think they smell like the original Juicy Couture or Couture La La at all so I don't think they should have linked them to the originals.

I often see perfume collection videos where people show a perfume and call it by an incorrect name or they are unsure of the name of the perfume they own, which I always think is crazy, but these two fragrances have very forgettable names being linked to fragrances they don't resemble whatsoever.

I think these two will inevitably work their way into my fragrance collection. I can't resist a fruity, summery offering especially by Juicy Couture! I think my favourite is Couture La La Malibu, the pink one!

Oaty or OTT?

Have you seen Irregular Choice's 'Oaty' low wedge heels?
While I love the swirly patterns on them and the shape of the wedge I'm not keen on the overly busy front of these shoes with a bow and a Mary Jane strap both lined with colourful floral material. I think this design is a bit too much.


They have also brought out these Cherry Pie low wedges with the same heel design. I much prefer the design of these shoes, although I still wouldn't hurry to buy them as they have holes in, which isn't ideal.
I do like the detailed, sequined platform and the gold lining.

Shopping

I hit the shops yesterday and managed to escape with just one purchase, Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Delight, which I love.


I saw this lovely dress in New Look that I quite fancied. The colour is lovely and the style is casual and would even work when you are having a fat day! Haha!




I was looking online and I quite fancy trying these Avon Gel Finish nail polishes when they come out. They are going to be £7.00 each, but it seems they will be introduced at £3.50. There will be 24 different colours to choose from.

My March Favourites 2014!

Here are some of my beauty favourites that I've been using recently.


I love The Body Shop's Satsuma soap. It smells delicious. The scent is really intense and it is really creamy and it never leaves my skin feeling dry.

Soap and Glory's The Scrub Of Your Life is my favourite product by Soap and Glory. It has their signature scent, which I find I like in some products more than others. It is lovely in this scrub. The scrub can be used as harsh or as gentle as you like by applying more or less pressure to your skin. It's the best body scrub I have ever used.

I love Avon's Advance Techniques hair masks. I bought a few of them when they were on offer a while ago. I have used the colour protection version and the damage repair version and they are both lovely to use and they smell great.

I have worked my way through all of Impulse's body sprays over the years, but Sweet Smile (in the yellow packaging) and the Limited Edition Secret Smile (the silver and red design) are my favourite scents.
Sweet Smile is pear and jasmine scented. It is really summery and uplifting.
Secret Smile is raspberry and gardenia scented. It is really sweet and fruity. The combination of notes works perfectly.

My favourite face mask to use is this Montagne Jeunesse cucumber peel-off masque. It really does peel off so there's no time wasted rinsing it, which can be quite a chore with some masks that I've used. It leaves my skin feeling lovely and soft.

My sister gave me some Aussie Mega Street Art shampoo. It smells really nice. It has an intense, fruity scent, which lingers on my hair.

I love my Clinique moisturiser. It feels so light and bouncy compared to all of my other creams. It has lasted me a good few months and my pot still looks pretty full.

My Dr Jart BB Cream has lasted me about 9 months so far. The Regenerating BB Cream is quite a light colour, which suits my pale complexion. It makes my skin look moisturised and healthy.

Last, but not least is Baylis and Harding's rose, ylang-ylang and patchouli body cleanser. Baylis and Harding's bath and shower products have a lovely jelly-like feel to them and they literally wobble on your hand.
Dominated by the rose, the scent of this one is amazing. I love it!
