March Favourites 2015

Here are a few of my favourite items that I have been using through March 2015.



First of all from Bourjois I have been using their amazing lip crayons in the shades Plum Russian, a lovely plum colour and Red Island, a bright red colour. They have a lovely glossy finish and they stay put on your lips. I think they are the best lip crayons I have tried.

I finally got to try some of the products from Wilko's Fruits range and this lime and ginger scented shower gel is lovely. The scent reminded me of lime ice pops. I want to try the lime and ginger soap as well.



Urban Decay Naked Basics palette has been my eyeshadow palette of choice this month. I adore matte shades and you can go subtle or dramatic with this palette. I've been wearing bright lip colours a lot this month so I have kept my eyeshadow simple.

I keep trying new lip balms, but I always end up going back to my amazing EOS lip balm, which is in the flavour medicated tangerine.

I adore my brown New Look boots and I wear them nearly every time I leave the house. I absolutely love them and if I could still get them I'd buy them again. I'll be so sad when these wear out! They are perfect for me!

I've also had quite a lot of wear out of my new boohoo 'Maia' dress. I love the style of it and it can easily be dressed up or down. I'm loving navy at the minute as well!

MAC's Ruby Woo lipstick has also been impressing me this month. It is a matte lipstick, but it doesn't dry my lips out and it stays put even when I am eating or drinking and it never smudges. I love this one!

I mentioned I had my eye on this emerald and diamond ring way back in 2013 and this year I finally bought it and I have worn it loads. The cluster is actually quite small and it looks lovely on my finger!

Cinderella - MAC and Jimmy Choo products!

Disney's Cinderella was out in UK cinemas yesterday, 13th March 2015!
MAC and Jimmy Choo have some cool products to celebrate the film's release.



MAC have created a Disney Cinderella range of make-up especially for them film's release. I think the packaging is really nice. The blue representing Cinderella's blue dress.





I think the round powder compact is the item I'd most like to own, but all of the make-up is already sold out on MAC's website, www.maccosmetics.co.uk.

Jimmy Choo have a pair of Cinderella shoes that are said to have reimagined the iconic glass slipper.








The shoes are lovely, but at £2995.00 I don't think I'll be buying them. They are available from the Jimmy Choo website, www.jimmychoo.com where it states each pair of 'Cinderella slippers' are made to order and will be delivered in October 2015. It also states as all orders are custom made they are also non-refundable.

I'm looking forward to seeing the 2015 Cinderella film.

February dress haul!

I love this dress I saw in Debenhams a few weeks ago. I really want it. It is by Quiz and can be found on their website www.quizclothing.co.uk for £59.99. I love the detail around the neck and the curly hem. I'm loving navy blue at the minute as well.






I saw this lovely sweetheart neck skater dress on boohoo.com. It was only £20.00, but they didn't have my size in navy so I didn't order it.

Instead I bought this navy chiffon dress, which was in the sale at boohoo.com for just £10.00.


I also bought this blue, chiffon, printed dress. I love the print and the short sleeves are really cute.


This black dress is another one I couldn't resist. I like the sequin pattern on the top and the dress has a flattering shape.



I also bought a black sequin dress with a cowl back. I love this. Now I just need an occasion to wear it!




I also recently bought this lovely skirt from Oasis. I love the colours and the print. Oasis always have great prints.

New 2015 perfumes!

There are so many fragrances coming out this year that I want to try.


Nina Ricci L'Extase is a rose based fragrance, which is out now, but I haven't had the chance to try it out yet.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Sorbet is also out already and is another one I haven't had the chance to try yet. It sounds like a delightful fruity-floral scent. It has passion fruit in the top notes and I love passion fruit so I look forward to trying this.

DKNY Delicious Delights Dreamsicle has notes including mandarin, peach and apricot so I don't think I'm going to be able to resist it.

DKNY Delicious Delights Cool Swirl has an interesting combination of notes including black cranberry, creamy pistachio sorbet, heliotrope and patchouli. I think this will be very different from the other fragrances in the Be Delicious range.

DKNY Delicious Delights Fruity Rooty sounds more of a fruity-floral scent with notes of blackberry, blueberry, mandarin, rose, violet, candied apple sorbet, lily and vanilla. I like the bottles for these Delicious Delights fragrances as well. They are lovely pastel colours.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Sorbet is in stores already, but I have yet to try it. I expect it to be a lovely, springtime fruity-floral.

Jimmy Choo Exotic is released in 2015 in a blue bottle. It was previously released in 2013 in a pink bottle and 2014 in an orange bottle. The new Exotic has exactly the same composition as the previous two releases, which is cheating a bit, but it is a great scent and I like the new blue bottle design.

Jimmy Choo Blossom was released in January 2015. It has a tropical, fruity scent and reminds me of something that Escada might release. It is nothing like Flash, which was the first fragrance to be released in this bottle shape.

Nina Ricci Les Delices de Nina has notes of mandarin, lemon, strawberry, caramel, raspberry, praline and white musk. I think this is going to be a bakery-sweet scent like the last release from this line, La Tentation de Nina, which was lovely. I'm looking forward to trying this one out.

Lanvin Marry Me! Confettis is the latest fragrance from the Marry Me! line. It is described as being lighter and brighter than its predecessors. I wasn't keen on the original Marry Me! fragrance, but have enjoyed some of the releases since. Marry Me! a la folie is my favourite.

Escada Turquoise Summer is another typical Escada summer release. It is very fruity and tropical.

Annick Goutal L'Ile Au The sounds like an interesting fragrance with notes of mandarin pulp, mandarin blossom, osmanthus, green tea and white musk. I'm looking forward to trying this fragrance. It is unisex and I have a feeling it is going to be a case of you either love it or hate it.

Diesel Loverdose Red Kiss is described as a floriental, gourmand fragrance and it has notes of orange blossom, hazelnut and amber. I have heard it is as strong as the original Loverdose is.

Marc Jacobs Violet has a lovely bottle design and has notes of bergamot, white lily, violet, patchouli and vanilla.

Lolita Lempicka  L'Eau En Blanc Edition Perles is due for release in April 2015. It has notes of violet leaf, iris, raspberry, white violets, heliotrope and musk. I liked the original L'Eau En Blanc fragrance, but it wasn't my favourite release from Lolita Lempicka. I look forward to trying this one though.
