Juicy Couture La La

Excuse me, I haven't stopped screaming since I saw this!
Juicy Couture have a new fragrance everyone!!
As a big Juicy fan I am buzzing about this, I have had all of them in the past but wasn't too in love with the new Viva La Fleur which I was quite disappointed with as I so thought i'd swoon and lets not go there with Peace, Love... just no!

Viva La Juicy is my signature as I love sweet edible fragrances and the caramel note in Viva is just divine!
This however, isn't based on the Viva La Juicy range but will be more of a modern take on the 2006 original Juicy Couture.
Now, this can only mean good things as although I grew to, lets say like, the original it still was never a Original Juicy Couture kinda day as it was just too mature for me, this will be much fruitier and although will still feature musk, hopefully it's life won't depend on it.

The bottle itself is amazing, I love the rose juice and the crown its wearing along the bow, I already know it will look right at home next to my Viva La Juicy and my Couture Couture on my dresser!

I love everything about La La! The name, the bottle, the notes... everything!!

This is of course out in america first late November 2012 but with any luck they'll bring this Diva over the pond soon cause us Juicy girls need to meet her too!

What do you think, gorgeous right??
Whats your favourite Juicy scent??
As always,

YSL Créme De Blush

Oh look at it, look how gorgeous it is! I was so lucky to be given this by my friend for no reason! What a babe, I remember eyeing it up though and thinking, good golly thats a pretty pink!
This is a blush but if you like matte lip colours, I would so use this on my lips too, mine are too dry right now but you wait, it will happen!

it's a strange consistancy, creme, whipped? Who knows, It's super soft though! 

Literally feels like rubbing velvet onto your skin, you might be into that!


So it's actually a really subtle colour once on, it can be scary though when you're unsure how much to put on, but building is key!
I will be using this more and more I feel! Summer is over, i'm going to throw the bronzer to the bottom of my make up bag and opt for this and feel all cheery and pink! 
I'm so glad my friend gave me this! I love everything about it! The packaging, the smell (of course the YSL scent), the colour, the feel... everything! I want one in every colour!!!

Have you tried this?!

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!

Little lost gems!


I've been moaning at my mother for ages because she always does this thing where she will move something then deny she did or forget where she put it. So for the last 9 months since I switched over bags these little lovelies were in a secret vortex! However, they have now been returned to me over much screaming and shouting, all I care about is that they're home safetly!
Amongst the train tickets and old gum floating around my bag were;

  • Soap and Glory Hand Maid Hand Sanitiser!
  • Viva La Juicy Rollerball
  • Powder-time Lover Benefit trio including Coralista, Dallas & Dandelion
  • Body Shop Cherry Lip Butter
  • Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in Pink Fizz
  • Lancome Juicy Tube 
  • Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Shade 9
  • Dior Rouge in shade 565
Seriously I'm so happy to have these back! I will do reviews on them soon! Can you tell I'm bubbling over with excitment! Tell me, Does your mother do this? Lose your stuff for ages!? Do you open old bags and realise theres like £100 worth of goodies in there? let me know!

Ta ta for now, I have lipstick to play with!

Presents!!


So this is what I got today in the post, I got them all on great deals online so i'm super excited!!
I'll start with what I got my friend Liz for her 22nd birthday on 5th November, I know! so prepared!!
What I'm planning to do is just get lots of little things for her to play with and get her excited about make up, I couldnt think of one thing to ger her so it seems perfect! I want to put them all together in a sweet box. The great thing is that it will all be affordable and hopefully everything that she will use!!
So i'll begin!

These are false lashes which give such a lovely natural but dramatic look, i got these from work for a couple pounds but i got a few packets and i could not put them on, but she's quite good at putting on lashes, she does it all the time, so hopefully she'll like these!

This I got online (RRP £5.99!) and it looked more pink shimmer but when it arrived it's more cherry shimmer, still lovely though I really want it!!


I knew she used the purple false lash of this range so I originally got her that but she was round the other night and I saw it in her bag with a yellow lid, when asked about it she said the purple one was rubbish so she swapped the brush with her old collosal one, i was like eeek! so I went back and exchanged it! luckily it's in packaging! this cost like £5 with my store discount!
Next is this! I'm so excited about them!


Benefit Shimmer Shakers! At work I saw these and thought they were just regular shimmer pots with an expensive name, thus expensive price tag, but I got these for a reduced price rather than the £27 before and oh gosh I love them!
Here are the colours;

They're so lovely, I swatched some on my hands (just a tiny bit as it's a gift) and even a tiny bit did loads! they're so pigmented and the glitter is noticable but without being overbearing!

I adore them!!!

This cost me like £10 back at christmas time, I smelt it once at work and liked it so when I saw this going for cheap I bought it for myself, but i just never used it! So luckily it was still in the box so she can get much more use from it than me!

So thats what I've got her for her birthday, last year I got her a digital camera so this year is nothing compaired!

Next on with Christmas presents! I know! So prepared ;D!!

I also got these for a great deal online,

They cost me like £8.50 each for 100ml ! AMAZING. I originally wanted to get Liz this (fairy dust) 50ml which was going for £10 and Jaz Britney Spears Curious 50ml for £10 thus spending £20 all together, but 2 days with them in my basket waiting for payday, i returned to the site and the prices had changed, curious was up to like £15 and the 50ml fairy dust was £10! So i'd be spending much more than I wanted so I thought "hmm i'll just buy two fairy dusts for £20 together" then when I clicked on the fairy dust it said "more like this" and the 100ml was £8.50... cheaper than the 50ml! So I ordered two :)
I love the packaging, unfortunatly I cant take it out of the box as it's a gift but it's a pretty simplistic classic bottle :)
The perfume on the right is the packaging without the sleeve :)

I Love buying gifts and I hope they both love their presents!!!!
What do you think?

Packages!!!!!

I was in bed, when I heard a van, I thought, oh i better put a shirt on in case thats for me, the the door knocks, "EEEEE MY PACKAGES!!!"
I've been waiting for these for a week so I was very excited.

When I open the door in my backwards shirt, the postman hands me a sack. YES, a sack!!

So I look in and theres a few packages, not worthy of a sack, but I understand where the postman was coming from!
So I got a bit excited and ripped all of them open!

The first one I opened was a box with a few of Lizs birthday presents in then the next had a present each for Liz and Jaz for Christmas then I opened the one for meeeee!! It had my perfumes from America that I swapped with someone!

This is a 50ml Wrapped With Love by Hilary Duff and the girl had never even used it! I know this because I had to spray it lots for any to come out!! I love it! I smelt it back when I went to Ireland in the Airport and I really didn't like it, it smelt like melon or something so I was really disappointed, but when someone offered me this as half of a swap, i thought fuck it, why not!? And yes, I love it!! It's not as nice as the original With Love, but what will be, the original is lush, This is more a sexy daytime version with more floral notes than the spicy original! So excited about it!

And this is a 100ml Paris Hilton Heiress! This one has been used so it's actually more like 75ml but I knew about that when we were agreeing to swap so it's okay! I love love love this fragrance!! When I was 16 I started really loving perfumes and asking for them for every occasion, but I only ever recieved 30ml cause they're expensive, but I got a grant from college and first thing I did was go out and buy the 100ml of this! it cost me like £60 but I loved it!! It smells like bubble gum and it's such a sweet cute fragrance, this will be my 3rd bottle and I cannot wait to smell like this again!!!
So I swapped both of them for that 100ml Peace Love and Juicy Couture I hated!!! and because it didnt have the lid (which is a big deal as the lid like, makes the bottle) I swapped the body lotion too! That fragrance smelt like tree sap so It's a pretty great swap!!!


I wish I could put up pictures of what I got my friends and I will, just once it's been 5th November!!!!


Now look! i have one of each size!!
