September Favourites!

These are the items I've been loving in September!

I love my cobalt blue dress from boohoo.com. The colour and the fit are gorgeous and it can easily be dressed up or down.

I find that Avon lipsticks can often be too shimmery and I recently went through all my lipsticks and found this one had never been used. The shade is called Divine Wine and there is no shimmer in it. It is a dark purple colour, but it doesn't look unnatural. I love it!

I've been loving my new handbag from H&M. It is a good size and it looks really smart. I have had large handbags before, but not with such a rigid shape to them so I am still getting used to this one.

I have rediscovered my MUA Undressed palette and I love it. I have been using my matte eyeshadows a lot recently so it's good to bring some shimmer back and I love the golds and browns in this palette.

I finally bought Garnier's oil-infused Micellar water this month and it is great for removing, even waterproof, make-up with no rubbing or scrubbing. I'm really pleased with this.

I have been using Sanctuary Spa's body scrub this month. I love the scent of it and it leaves my skin feeling lovely and soft.

My favourite Impulse body spray currently available is Sweet Smile. It has a scent of pear and jasmine and this has been my body spray of choice for September.

March Favourites 2016

These are my March favourites.

First of all my sister bought this Original Source Tropical Pineapple shower gel for me and it is lovely. You hardly ever find pineapple scented toiletries. I love this, but have been trying to savour it as it's quite difficult to find in the shops.

I have been loving Marc Jacobs Lola eau de parfum this month. It has a lovely, floral scent without being as sweet as you may expect.

My hair straighteners broke recently so I managed to scrounge my sister's old GHD straighteners from her. They are the white ones with a pink design on them. They were a limited edition design a few years ago. I love GHD straighteners. They work really well.

My husband got some Avon Senses grapefruit and cedarwood hair and body wash for Christmas which he has been using this month and I love the scent. I don't use it on my hair; just as a body wash and the scent is great, but the lid is a nightmare to open.

I have rediscovered Avon's Luxe polished rose lipstick this month and I love it. It is easy to apply, feels comfortable and is fairly long wearing.

I love this check scarf that I bought a few months ago. It is really soft and I love the pattern.

I put these tanzanite earrings in for the first time this month. I bought them last year from one of the jewellery channels. They are comfortable and look very pretty.

My March 2015 favourites last year included this navy dress from Boohoo.com and this March I have been loving it all over again. It is really comfortable and flattering and it is easy to dress up or down.

10 Boohoo Dresses!

I like to check out Boohoo.com as the summer comes around. I bought some gorgeous dresses a couple of years ago. I've just had a look on their website.
Here are a few of the dresses that I like:

This one is £35.00 and it is similar to a dress by Quiz. I think Boohoo's dress is less detailed, but it is also cheaper. 

I love this mint coloured dress. The lace cap sleeves finish it off nicely. A nice dress for just £15.00!

I love this style of dress. It is flattering, but very comfortable. It is £20.00 and you get the pleated belt with it.

I'm not a huge fan of the neckline on this dress, but I like the pattern and the long sleeves. This one is £15.00.

I love this pretty, lilac, strapless dress. It looks a lot more expensive than its £30.00 price tag.

 This colourful, floral maxi dress is amazing for just £20.00. The black top makes it!

I have mentioned in previous posts that I love navy dresses so I was instantly attracted to this gorgeous navy dress with lace around the bottom. At just £25.00 this would be a great gift for me ;-)

I really like this patterned sun dress. It has a real festival look and costs just £15.00.

I love this cream butterfly print dress. Another comfortable fit and for just £15.00.

 I really like this colourful maxi dress. I think it'd be great for holidays abroad and it costs £22.00.

I think Boohoo have some lovely items on their website. Their pricing is really good especially if you don't want to spend a fortune on clothes you're only going to wear once or twice per year on holiday.
They have a bigger variety than typical high street stores and you don't find people everywhere you go wearing the same outfit as you like you do with Primark clothing.

My Desired Items!

There are lots of things on the want list at the minute!

I really want the new Vera Wang Hippie Princess eau de toilette. It is very uplifting and it has a summery feel.

I could do with a new handbag. I really like this New Look design and it is reasonably priced at £34.99. It is a great size and I love the colour.

I really love the shape of these round toe platform heels from New Look. They come in lots of different colours, but these lilac ones would be amazing for the spring/summer months. They are well worth £19.99.

I have had my eye on this gorgeous tanzanite and diamond ring for ages. I adore the design. I love the way the stones cross the ring diagonally. The design is amazing. This ring is from H Samuel.

I love this dress from Oasis. It's so bright and colourful and it can be dressed up or down. It costs £35.00. It has great reviews on the website from people who have bought it too.

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!

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.

Pretty prints!

I have mentioned before that I love printed dresses and I was going through my collection today so I thought I'd share a few of my favourite prints. I love my perfume bottle print dress in black. I love perfume and I love dresses so it was perfect for me.

 I think the lipstick print is really original on the white dress.

 The navy squirrel print dress is really cute as well.

Cute dragonfly print

Burgundy dress with white hearts - I wear this lots!

I love the deep turquoise colour of this dress. The bird print is really cute as well.

I love the colour of this bee print dress.

Ice lolly print

This print is all things nice - chocolates, roses, kisses, jewellery, lipstick, champagne and love letters! It's very original - I love it!

I love this ditsy floral print as well.

I have many more prints in my collection and lots of spotty and floral dresses as well. I will post more from my collection soon.

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.
