Gorgeous - Tag

1) Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks and lip-glosses or lose all of your palettes and eye shadows?
 I would probably have to say palettes and eyeshadows as mascara, eyeliner and lipstick are too important to me.

2) Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?
Never be able to cut it again, my hair is one thing i'm actually quite happy with.

3) Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?
I love coral blush, it looks more natural.

4) If you had $1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?
I would probably say clothes. 

 5) Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner or eyeliner as lipstick?
Eyeliner as lipstick as long as it was a neutral colour or a nice pink. Lipstick on eyes seems too greasy and messy!

6) Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?
Sephora if there was one in london

7) Would you rather only use one eye shadow colour or one lip colour the rest of your life?
One lip colour, I love changing up my eye shadow colours and experimenting with them.

8) Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?
Summer clothes in winter, i hate being too hot.

9) Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?
Bright nails, i tend to stick to bright colours anyway. 

10) Would you rather give up your favourite lip product or your favourite eye product? 
Definitely would say lip products.
  
11) Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?
A pony tail, i can't pull off buns very well. 

12) Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lip-gloss?
Never use lipgloss! I have hundreds of nail polishes and couldn't bare to not be able to use them. 

13) Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have none at all?
I'd rather have eyebrows to be honest but i guess i'd rather shave them as it would mean they would eventually grow back and i could rock a fringe till they do.

14) Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?
Nail polish, as much as i love nail polish i can't live without at least minimal make up.

No longer a LUSH virgin

So i finally went into Lush originally looking for Snow Fairy but finding out it's only available from fall for christmas.
I decided to purchase a few things anyway.
Firstly i asked for anything that smelt close to snow fairy.
I was told that a few soap bars has similar sweet scents but i went with The Godmother.

It's basically the soap form of snow fairy and smells really girly and sweet, it's really pretty and has iridescent glitter inbedded in the plummy coloured bar. I was happy with it until i rinsed, it has that horrible rubbery feeling that non moisturising soaps tend to have which is why i prefer shower gels.
I also purchased a shower jelly, mainly for the fact that it was something quite different and exciting.


I chose the mildest one which was the Joy of Jelly, it feels really calming and relaxing so i love using it before bedtime. It actually builds up a good lather which was surprising, but i would purchase it again.


I wanted some bath bombs so i picked up Ickle baby bot for my daughter as she loves baths like crazy, she was initially scared of the blue fizzing robot in her beloved bath but as she got used to it she seemed to like it and the lovely turquoise the water turned to. It claims to help sleep aswell which is great news for parents! The other bath bomb was Tisty Tosty which is heart shaped with 7 rose buds inside,  but i have not had a chance to use this yet.


The Lush ladies were really helpful and friendly despite me needing products that didn't contain nuts but i am really happy with most of the products i bought and can't wait to go again.

New Fragrances

I recently purchased Vivienne Westwood's Naughty Alice.




It's exactly as i imagined it to be, girly, sexy and sophisticated. Notes include black rose, violet, ylang-ylang and musk.

The bottle is adorned with a charm bracelet for you to remove and keep.



I also bought a Marc Jacobs Daisy solid perfume ring on my little trip to Harrods.
It's a very large ring and features a twist top to access the perfume, there are gorgeous white daisies scattered over the shiny black dome lid.


This playful, floral and fruity fragrance has top notes of wild strawberries complemented with a base note of white woods accord, which gives this sweet scent a vintage twist.
I will definitely be purchasing the bottle.
