February Favourites 2016!

There are a lot of products that I have been loving this month.




No.7's Beautiful Skin Eye Make-Up Remover is excellent for removing waterproof mascara. I wear waterproof mascara every day so I am pleased to have a product that removes it so easily.

I got Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire last month and I have been loving it. It has a lovely, deep tea note in it. It's become one of my favourite scents.

My MAC 217 brush is probably my favourite brush for applying and blending eyeshadow. Whenever I introduce a new brush to my collection I always end up going back to this one.

I have used up most of my EOS lip balm now and I absolutely love it. I will definitely have to buy another EOS lip balm. It is my favourite lip balm that I have ever used.

I love my MAC blush. I bought it in shade Melba, which is my current favourite cheek colour. It looks great on.

Soap and Glory Scrub Your Nose In It is a great facial scrub and mine has been getting a lot of us this month.

I have a purse spray of Avon's Strictly Ballroom Beauty eau de toilette, which has a lovely, light floral scent. I have had this in my handbag this month and I love the scent. It is so uplifting and the purse spray is so handy to carry around with you.
I also have the full size bottle of this fragrance.

Finally I have been using Dove's plum and sakura blossom body wash. I have used this one several times before and I love the scent of it. It is really creamy and moisturising as well.

I Love Steve Madden Shoes!

I love Steve Madden shoes and there are loads of lovely designs on the website at the minute.

Here are a few of my favourites. I think the boots are my overall favourite. They are so cute.





I also spotted these shoes on the website which reminded me of the box for Jimmy Choo's Exotic 2014 fragrance. Don't you agree?

5 LBDs

I am loving black at the moment. I'm usually up for a bit of colour, but nothing can beat a black dress for me at the moment. They are just so easy to dress up or dress down.

I spotted this Valentino dress which I love the cut of. Although I'm not the biggest fan of butterflies on everything, I think this dress is nicely done, but at £2000.00 I don't think I'll be making the purchase!




I love this collared, lace dress from Zara (£35.99). I love the lace sleeves.

I also love this dungaree dress from New Look for a very casual look. It is just £22.99.




Another Valentino dress that I really like is this black scalloped hem dress with a lace yoke. It is more affordable than the butterfly dress at £1355.00.



My final little black dress of choice is another black lace dress. This one is £24.99 from H&M.

First Impressions Of The New DKNY And Marc Jacobs Ranges!

I finally got to try the new DKNY range this week after trying the Marc Jacobs range last week.






I will give the DKNY fragrances another try, but I was quite disappointed with the version in the orange bottle, Citrus Pulse and the version in the pink bottle, Loving Glow. They didn't seem to last long at all.
Bright Crush which comes in the green bottle was the best of the bunch. It has notes of honeydew melon, bergamot, blackcurrant, plum, frangipani, peony, golden amber, vanilla and creamy woods.
It has a sweet, fruity scent.

I also tried the Marc Jacobs range and loved them all. They have that signature Marc Jacobs scent which is instantly recognisable in almost all of the Marc Jacobs fragrances in the Daisy range.
I have to say Daisy Dream Blush was my favourite of the three.
It has notes of pear, water lily, honeysuckle, woods and musk.

Rebecca Minkoff Mini Avery Tote


I love my current handbag, but it is starting to look a bit worse for wear now so I want to buy a new one.

I love this Rebecca Minkoff bag, but I don't know which colour I would choose.

January Perfume Haul

I have bought plenty of perfume this year already.

I mentioned in a post in December that I had wanted to buy a 125ml bottle of Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh, which I am now the proud owner of.




I also bought Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire eau de parfum gift set with the 30ml bottle of fragrance and a 75ml body milk. It is also a scent I have thought about purchasing for a while and I love it. With notes of rose, liquorice and smoked black tea it is delicious as it sounds!

L'Aimant is a fragrance I have seen in the shops since I was a child, but have never seen a tester to try it out so I bought it in a gift set in the Boots sale. It is an inexpensive fragrance anyway. It is a nice, aldehydic scent that has been compared to Chanel No. 5.

New 2016 Perfumes!

There are lots of new fragrances coming out this year.

There are three new Marc Jacobs releases; Daisy Blush, Daisy Eau So Fresh Blush and Daisy Dream Blush.






They all sound like nice springtime scents and I look forward to trying them.

Their colour scheme fits well with Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy Rose which is another 2016 release. I love rose scents so I think this one will be interesting. I think the bottle is awful though. I'm not keen on glitter on bottles and this one seems to be opaque which I think takes away from the lovely squared-off shape of the bottle. 



Nina Ricci is releasing Nina Pop which is the same scent as the original Nina in a colourful bottle. This is to celebrate 10 years since Nina's release.


..But the winner of the most hideous bottle design goes to Moschino's Fresh Couture, which comes in a bottle made to look like a bathroom cleaning spray. I think the bottle is quite shocking. Who came up with this terrible idea?!
