Vera Wang Pink Princess REVIEW





Hey everyone, I am again (always & forever) excited about a NEW launch by one of my most favorite perfume designers, VERA WANG!

I wrote a blog post about this about a trillion years ago link here about how I didn't have photos or anything and everywhere I looked I found nothing about it!

Well today I hit the jackpot and got to see and smell it with my own, uhm, senses?



I died and went to heaven when I saw the bottle.





Sorry, I have no words. Pink glitter? It's too much, it's too gorgeous and I need it.

It's the same bottle as the original Princess Night which was a deep purple glitter but of course, PINK!

When I first smelt it I first thought "hey I've smelt this before" and as I kept smelling it I came to the conclusion that I actually already own it.
 So after kicking myself over what it is, it hit me that it is basically Taylor Swift Wonderstruck in a pink glitter heart!

Now this is a disappointment cause I WANT IT 
(iiii want it nowwwwww, Verucca moment) 
but can I justify buying it when I pretty much already have it??
*sniffle*

However, I would recommend everyone to go try this out, it is delicious, it's a mix of creamy notes and yummy raspberry and if you've run out of Taylor Swift Wonderstruck, it does last much longer than that one which I do love, but was one of its downfalls!

Yes it sheds everywhere, yes it's ANOTHER Princess flanker, but honestly, I see absoloutly nothing wrong with that and I do really adore it.

So are you going to try this out? 
What do you think of the bottle, please love it!

sorry it's been so long xoxo

Models Own Mirror Ball Collection

 Hi everyone!! I am so excited to be writing this as I fell in love with this collection from the word GLITTER!!
Models Own has quickly become one of my favourite nail varnish brands, they're so fun and different! I recently been seeing a lot about these being in high demand so when I saw them, they were mine!!
I used to wear glitter all year round but recently it feels too wintery and christmasy so i've been sticking to block colours, but now it's coat weather, the glitter is back, and what better glitter than colourful chunky glitter - amazing.
Disco Ingerno, a gold glitter with green specks, Christmas Party nails!

Freak Out! Blue toned chunky glitter, ice skating in Hyde park nails!!

Boogie Nights! My new years eve nails!

Hot Stuff, who needs a reason, it's amazing nails!

So I think i will need to do a base colour underneath these, like maybe a gold colour anyway as its quite see through, but i think once I do that this will look so cute!

I found the best way to cover is to literally blob the chunks on then when it goes dry on top but still wet underweight (do you know what I mean?) I press the glitter down so it flattens it!

This just would not cover!!! It looks so sloppy haha!
Oh gosh, best till last!! its soooo pretty!!!

Unfortunatly i went swimming after when I thought they were dry and ... they weren't so the glitter just broke off one nail at a time, boo!
I'm going to try these again when I have a bit more time and i'm not so excited as i believe thats the reason they didn't work so well!!

I really think these will fly off the shelves, they're so cute and feel christmasy that they sell themselves!!

What do you think? Have you tried these yet??? Do you think you'll be getting them?
xoxo


edit:
in love!!!

Crafty Creative Claire

Image taken by me

Hi there. So as the title implies, I've been getting quite crafty! Some may say cheap but others will back me up thinking it's quite the smart move!
So I've been after a studded phone case for a while but as my funds are usually drained I could never seem to part with £15 for ones I saw on ebay. A few months went by and I pondered more and more until I thought 
"right, well I could definitely just make that for a few quid"
So make that I did!
I ordered a blank white phone case and some studs and glue and I waited. I waited and waited and almost exploded when both landed on my doorstep a month later! It took so long cause I convinced myself i was willing to wait for the long delivery date as i was getting it for china prices. It always sucks me in!
So I took all my crafts around to my boyfriends house and got down and dirty whilst him and his brother bored me with their fifa game. Le sigh!


Sadly, it didn't last long as it was so quick and easy to make!! I had a load of fun actually doing it and getting my fingers super glued together (got to be done really) and getting excited seeing it all come together.
When I put it on my phone I found myself constantly looking at it. I willed people to text me so I would have reason to hold my phone up and have another cheeky look at it. Like when you've just done your nails and you touch everything really elegantly - oh how embarrassing!


So this phone case cost me less than £3 to make, I had fun whilst doing it and I'm bloody proud! 
Now I think i've caught the bug of what else can I do myself! I feel like a designer now, I can do anything Hurrah!
Or maybe I'll just stick to gluing pretty things onto plain things till I get a bit more inspired, maybe thats for the best!


I'm terribly sorry this sounds all muddled. I should have been fast a bobo's a while ago. 
So i've got some more things planned to decorate soon so no doubt i'll update on that - if it looks good that is!


I hope you're all well!
Toodles!

NEW! Bourjois Black Jack Mascara!!

Image taken by me.

Bourjois Volume Clubbing Black Jack Mascara £7.99

So! Recently because of my job, I was lucky enough to get my hands on this little gem! I bought this the day it came in and I'm so glad I did! Opening up the silly box it came in I was amazed when these fell into my lap. At first, I loved the packaging, now... I'm not too sure. I always love new stuff because well.. it looks new. Bourjois are doing this whole blackjack theme right now with gold packaging. They have their chocolate bronzers which are turning blackjack (I hope only temp - I love those!) they have glitter body sprays in this range and of course, this mascara! I've been wanting to try the clubbing mascaras for a while but I've always been distracted by others so when this came in, it was mine!! My lashes are long and curly, so I only desire volume really and this does just that.
So the brush is like the other clubbing brushes, its a natural bristle one as opposed to plastic comb ones and its kinda only got bristles on the top and bottom which is good as it doesn't make the brush too big and difficult to work with as it allows you to build up the volume, hurrah!
Each time I use this I compare it to my volmume max also by bourjois which is just amazing and I would buy that over any mascara anyday, so what makes this mascara so special?


it's just a black mascara right?

view fullsided to see the glitter <3

No!! It's got itty bitty gold glitter in!! This sold it to me. I adore anything glittery so the fact I could have subtly glittery eyelashes which are also black and voluminous, perfect!!
Now there are no photos of this on as my camera isn't very good for close ups so sorry about that folks but it does make my eyelashes glittery! not as much as i hoped and somedays you see more than others, but its there!!!! It's such a great idea and does just add that little bit more sparkle into your everyday eye makeup!
I really rate this mascara, I wish the packaging was slightly classier or maybe just a bit more colourful but if thats all that is wrong with a product then thats okay with me! Of course I wished this was a bit more glittery but I realise not everyone likes glitter quite as much as I do, so I believe i'm just the exception to the rule.

So tell me! Are you excited about this, will you be getting it when it comes out. Bourjois is amazing am I right?
Anyhoos, ta ta!
