Summer Outfit Wishlist ♥

Hey beaut's!

Since we are currently in the middle of a blommin' scorching hot heatwave is the UK I thought it would be the perfect time to share an outfit I'm currently lusting after! Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how pretty that dress is, it's from Topshop and is in that pinafore style which I think is just gorgeous! I'm also on the hunt for some heart shaped sunglasses, I think they are so fun and will make any outfit look super cute! As well as the fashion pieces I'm also lusting after the Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray to create those tousled beachy waves, the Too Faced Matte Bronzer to create that bronzed goddess look and the Tanya Burr lip gloss in Just Peachy so add a subtle summery shine to the lips. Let me know if you have anything on my wishlist beaut's and what you think/thought of it!Summer Outfit Wishlist

The Library Of Fragrance Sunshine and Daisy Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

Today I thought I would open up your eyes to the world of 'The Library of Fragrance', the brand name really is rather apt, with 300 fragrances to choose from it really is a library fragrance! Theres such a broad range of smells that can be worn alone or you can layer them up over each other to achieve that perfect scent. I was pretty blown away when I first took a look at the Library of Fragrance website, they have some classic more tradition scents that you would expect to see from a perfume brand to the more unusual, unique and out there scents like Thunderstorm, Gin and Tonic, Snow, Pizza and even Dirt, see I told you they where unusual but oh so fabulous! 

The first scent I have to share with you today is Sunshine* and I absolutely love it! Sunshine is a fresh yet warm uplifting scent that has that beachy vibe, think of a hint of suntan lotion mixed with creamy vanilla and an ever so slight citrus twist and boom that's Sunshine in a bottle. I find Sunshine's quite a light scent which makes it very wearable during the daytime and lasts on my skin around 4 hours which you might not think is very long but considering its a cologne spray the longevity is actually quite good. I think Sunshine is the perfect scent to wear during the summer time and is the perfect summer holiday abroad scent. 
Next up is Daisy*, another scent that I'm totally in love with which is described as a light, bright floral tinged with green that smells just like the daisy chains we made as children, isn't that the cutest description of a scent ever! The scent description for Daisy is pretty on point, it smells exactly like a Daisy flower and is so fresh and Spring like, arhhhh I just love it. Just like Sunshine, Daisy is a very light, easy to wear scent that isn't overpowering in the slightest and lasts around 4 hours on my skin. If you like yourself a floral scent then I honestly cant recommend Daisy enough.
As I mentioned before you can mix and match The Library of Fragrance scents to create your own custom fragrance, this is because they are all 'linear' fragrances which means that they're only 'single note' scents and don't change over time like usual fragrances do that have 'top', 'heart' and 'base' notes, pretty snazzy hey. Packaging wise... I love the simplicity of the bottles and their 30ml size means they are great to throw in your handbag for refreshing on the go.

Overall The Library of Fragrance is an absolute hit with me and I'm so happy I've come across the brand. You can shop their 300 fragrances on the Boots website and each bottle of gorgeousness will set you back £15.00 or you can take advantage of Boots currents 2 for £25.00 offer.

Have you tried any scents from The Library of Fragrance beaut's?? What one did you pick?? I'd love to know!!

Don't forget I'm currently giving away a pair of shoes of your choice from the Shoetique website, there's only a week left beaut's, you can enter the giveaway here.

March Beauty Favourites ♥

Hey girlie's!!!

I cant quite believe its that time again.... Monthly favourites time!!! I 
know we all say this every month but honestly I cant believe how quick the months are going, its crazy... At least we can look forward to some sunshine, warmer days and pretty flowers now that it's officially spring, yayyy!!! Anywhoo today I thought I would share with you all the makeup and beauty products I've been loving throughout March, so here goes....

Marc Jacobs Daisy
Oh how I love this perfume...I was only introduced to Marc Jacobs first iconic perfume Daisy about a month ago and ever since I've been addicted to it and have been wearing it most days. Daisy is such a light, easy to wear fragrance and has an amazing fresh, floral scent with a hint of sweetness in there too, making it the perfect daytime spring/summer fragrance. Daisy is definitely going to be my go to spring/summer scent also can we just take a moment to appreciate how pretty the bottle is, ohhh!!

Nanshy Flat Top Buffer Brush
I must admit I'm quite particular when it comes to my base makeup brushes and I usually stick to my Real Techniques Buffing Brush all the time but after giving my dressing table a good sort out recently I rediscovered my Nanshy Flat Top Buffer Brush, so I decided to use it again and I fell straight back in love with it! I just love the finish that the buffer brush leaves, my foundation is always completely even and so well blended, it also makes my foundation feel more lightweight on the skin but I think that could be down to the brushes capability to blend so well. I would highly recommend this brush if you looking to achieve that perfect, flawless base... Ohhh I just love it!! 

NAKED 3 Palette
Without a doubt the NAKED 3 Palette has been my ultimate favourite for this year so far as I've been using it pretty much everyday since I got it last Christmas, its just perfect for everyday wear and the shades are just so beautiful, I also think this will be a great little palette to use during Spring/Summer as its packed full with gorgeous rose-hued shades. You can check out my full review of this palette here.

Vichy Dermablend Setting Powder
This well and truly deserves a spot on my favourites this month and every month to be honest as it's just amazing!!! Ive been using this setting powder more of less everyday since the end of October last year and I still have more than half of my tub left which I think is pretty impressive already ha ha. What I love the most about this translucent powder is that it does exactly what it says on the tin, its sets your makeup into place all day!!! The finish the powder leaves is incredible, its makes my skin look completely flawless and buffs away imperfections, theres no visible shine or oiliness throughout the whole day, it allows my base make up to stay in place all day with no need for any touch ups and its not even visible on the skin so no one can even notice you've used a powder and you don't have to worry about it caking up. You can check out my full review here if you like beaut's.

Collection Cream Puff in Cotton Candy
As I've recently been switching up my lips products for Spring and I've been finding myself reaching for my Collection Cream Puff alot. I just love its natural, muted pink shade which seems to just go with everything and it applies super easy too so its great for any on the go touch ups or applications. It does set to a moisturising matte finish which isn't drying at all which is a bonus and lasts on me around 3ish hours which I think is amazing!!! It's literally in my handbag all the time now ha ha. 

YSL Baby doll Mascara Sample
You may know that a while back I got a free goody bag when I purchased 2 makeup items from the Debenhams website and within my goody bag was a sample of the gorgeous YSL Baby doll Mascara... Well I have to say it's blooming lush!!! It does a great job at separating my lashes and gives them lots of oomph and volume, it never clumps, smudges or transfers and the wand is fabulous for getting to those hard to reach lashes too. I will be doing a review on this soon so keep your eyes peeled girlie's ha ha.


What have been your favourite beauty products to use throughout March beaut's??? I'd love to know!!!

A Mother's Day Gift Guide with Fragrance Direct ♥

Hey girlie's!!!

It's that time of the year where Spring is upon us and we start planning on how to spoil our wonderful Mum's for Mother's Day, so today I thought I'd share with you the perfect gift set that will be a lovely little fragrant treat for your Mum this Mother's Day, say hello to the Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Toilette Gift Set*.
The Marc Jacobs Daisy Gift Set comes complete with the Daisy Eau de Toilette 50ml, Daisy Bubbly Shower Gel 75ml and the Daisy Luminous Body Lotion 75ml, which makes the most amazing trio and is the perfect way to get the most out of the Daisy fragrance, it will give you extra wear time if you wear them together and really bring out the fragrant notes. 
Daisy is the first of Marc Jacobs iconic fragrances for women, and has a fresh, floral fragrance with a hint of sweetness in there too, making it the perfect daytime spring/summer fragrance. For me, Daisy is a light, easy to wear  fragrance and features a cool combination of fragrant notes which include Strawberry, Violet Leaf and Blood Grapefruit top notes, heart notes of Gardenia, Jasmine and Violet and base notes of Musk, Vanilla and White Woods. The wear time of Daisy is good, it dries down quite fast so it isn't an overpowering scent in the slightest, I think that's why its so easy and pleasant to wear. The Bubbly Shower Gel in this gift set is such a treat, it lathers up lovely and is perfect for use now as we are hop, skipping and jumping into Spring. The Daisy Body Lotion is just as gorgeous as the perfume and the bubbly shower gel, its leaves a gorgeous luminous look to the skin, moisturises really well and leaves your skin lingering with the iconic Daisy scent.
And lastly, can we just appreciate how gorgeous the packaging is... Daisy comes housed in a thick glass bottle with a pretty, show stopping gold lid that is decorated with 3 white and gold daisies, I think it's a very ornamental perfume, I mean how beautiful will the bottle look on any dressing table.

Overall I love Daisy, and I think this gift set would make such a lovely gift, it looks beautiful in the bottle, it smells gorgeous and wears lovely too. Don't forget Mothers Day is on the 30th March, so head on over to Fragrance Direct where you can find the Marc Jacobs Daisy Gift Set for £44.99 along with lots of other variations of the scent. Also perfumes can have such nice meanings and memories behind them so why not make a memory with your Mum this Mothers Day!
