NEW Britney Spears Island Fantasy Perfume

Guys I am so excited, I actually gasped when I saw this, the legendary Miss Britney Spears has a new fragrance!!

I was disappointed with her Fantasy Twist perfume as I was hoping for a new one in 2012 but luckily this new addition will be out soon!

Are you ready?

Oh, my, GOSH! I am in love! 

It's funny I've been saying for a while she needs a tropical looking fantasy! I did imagine a yellow bottle with green diamonds, but this is okay too... I guess!

Just kidding, I love the bottle and I cannot wait to smell it! I'm sure it's going to be a staple scent for summer and I will take it on holiday and it will be amazing!

J'adore Juicy Couture

Oh hello gorgeous, how're you? It's been ages! Apologies, I have no excuse, I've just been lazy! 

It's a brand new year!! How about that eh? 

Anyway, I'm here to speak (ahem type) about my little Juicy stash I've got going on. 

I love Juicy Couture as a brand, i think it's fun, cute, girlie and glamorous  It's affordable but still a little luxury!

Pink and gold are my FAVOURITE and I mean the best of the best colours ever! They go so well together which is maybe also why I love Juicy so much.

Starting with the fragrances we have;

Viva La Juicy La Fleur

This is my newest addition to my collection! It's much like the original but different enough that it's worth having. It's more floral and a perfect day time scent, it's almost as fancy as daisy, which although nice, not a sexy, romantic party fragrance, just... nice, and hey, I like that.

I splurged this on... my boots points so I got it free!

RRP £47 for 50ml 

Viva La Juicy 

For me this is a must have! This bottle is almost 2 years old and I got it for my 20th birthday which is also the day my boyfriend asked me out, aw shucks! So this holds nice memories for us both, every time I spray this on we both look at each other and once he smells it he smiles which is super sweet! This smells edible and caramelly and yummy and ooooh, go smell it if you haven't already, I loves it!

RRP £63 100ml 

Couture Couture

When I was young I had a Barbie perfume and yes, it was delicious and if I remembered what the bottle looked like or whatever I would try and hunt it down and buy any last drop I can find, it was to die for, I was so the best smelling child on the playground that year. I tell you this as when I first smelt this, I instantly remembered that fragrance it took me back so to speak! So I actually call this my barbie perfume! I was so happy when my boyfriend saw this in Debenhams for half price in a giftset! It's quite heavy and a real show stopper, perfect for a Juicy girl then right?

RRP £47 50ml 

Viva La Juicy Rollerball

My first Juicy fragrance! I got these in a set of three from work, I had never smelt any before and we got them in without testers so I couldn't smell them, but when they were half price after Christmas I snatched them up on a whim! I automatic loved Viva La Juicy and I think I gave away Juicy Couture original and Couture Couture is in my going out bag i think :)

Couture La La

ooh la la mademoiselle, je suis en amour! The newest little lady in their line! I reviewed this here and I am so in love, it's gorgeous, as much as I love pink and gold, the silver is gorgeous too, perfect everything!

RRP 50ml £47

In front I have my jewellery from my "amoureux" Adam! I was very lucky and got them for our one year anniversary! Lucky Lucky girl!

*drools* they're so pretty, I don't wear them too much but I love them dearly!

and at the back I have a Juicy Couture Make Up bag which comes FREE with any purchase of Juicy Couture Fragrance 50ml or above at Boots right now! 

I'm not usually a free gift fan but THAT I had to have, it looks expensive *blush*

SO that is that! 

I was about to say, can Juicy Couture do anything wrong? Then I remembered about Peace, Love and Juicy Couture *giggles*

Ooop sorry!

Do you like Juicy Fragrances?

What's your favourite??

NEW Maybelline Volum' Express Rocket Mascara

Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Mascara
£7.99

As I'm the kinda girl who is always on the look out for a new mascara this one caught my eye!
I love packaging and I feel guilty admitting that I will pass up a great mascara if it didn't have a fancy tube, eeek!

This looked gorgeous and as soon as I saw it I was drawn to it, I already knew I would buy it.

I previously reviewed the Colossal Smokey eyes mascara by Maybelline here and thought I had found my new go-to mascara (In fact I have already repurchased it) but, I'm always up for new loves in my life.

I was curious about the brush on this as I wasn't sure if it would have the same Colossal brush but the packet looked more like the MaxFactor/CoverGirl 24hr Mascara, which yes, when taken out of the packing ... it's very similar.

I've always preferred my mascara wands to have natural bristles, so I was ever so slightly disappointed to see stubby little combs on the wand.

So here I had only curled my eyelashes with a simple H&M eyelash curler and put on some black eyeliner on my lid.

Sorry about the awkward face, it's a by-product of a long day at work 

So judge for yourself. It's VERY dramatic, much more than the colossal range.
I feel my eyelashes are kind of spidey legged but I'm okay with that, where as I know not all of you will love that!

I can't wait to give this more of a go and for it to maybe dry out a bit and see if it's any different.

with so much love

Juicy Couture La La Perfume Review!

You may have seen my earlier post about this perfume and how excited I was to get it thinking I'd have to wait AGES, however, it is now all mine!!

When I first saw the bottle it was almost like love at first sight, the juice is a rose pink and it's decorated with a beautiful necklace and a backwards bow, the jewels are all silver but there is a small pink diamanté in there, there is so much detail to make this bottle beautiful.

The scent is meant to be effortlessly classy and glamorous  which actually, at first spray, it was a dud. It smelt like DKNY Be Delicious (i dislike DKNY no matter what) and I'm not too sure why you would want a lingering stench of apple but hey, that's just me. So I was like "oh.." and actually a little sad.
I wanted to love it, I loved everything else it was offering just not the smell. 

I tried it on and luckily the apple peace's out pretty soon on me, then it dries down to a floral musky almost vanilla smell, but not a sweet vanilla. I'm terrible at describing scents, sorry!

I kept wondering what that smell was and then I smelt my wrists and it was me!
Yay! I was in love with it!!

This is like nothing I've had before. 

I like Britney Spears and Taylor Swift perfumes and this is nothing like them. 

My boyfriend commented and said "don't take this the wrong way, but it smells mature, not grandma mature but like, classy" and he loves it!

So really I think that goes to show, it does what it promises.

I would wear this to dinner or to nice daytime events. I'm not sure it's fun enough for work and for sure not for a night out, I might just keep this for when the time calls for it. 

I would so recommend giving this a chance, it's gorgeous inside and out!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland...

Shirt - TopShop £42

Bag - Kardashian Kollection £55*

Shoes - Miss Selferidge £46

Watch - Michael Kors £250*

Earings - River Island £6

Nails - TopShop £6.50

Perfume - Enchanted Wonderstruck £40*

Lipstick - Mac £14

This is possibly not your typical winter outfit, but this is my personal style of what I would wear to a winter semi casual event where you don't want a big poofy dress but you don't feel it's an occasion where you'd wear flats.

I would of course team this with some tight leggings!

How do you like it?

Have you made one? link me, I wanna see!

Maybelline Colossal Smoky Eyes Mascara

Maybelline is one of my most trusted brands I've come to realise. 

I never thought too much about Maybelline and it's products, but then I realised the foundations I've loved and swore by for the last 5 years have all been Maybelline. My first mascara was the Great Lash mascara and I've repurchased that about, oh I don't know, a million times in my day?!

But as I started earning my own money and working amongst other brands I branched out and tried Yves Saint Laurent mascara, L'oreal and also found a new favourite and settled for a while with Boujouis Glamour mascara!

Unhappy about having to pay £11 every 2 months for my Boujouis Glamour fix, I really just had an urge to try this one.

I remember it coming out when I was younger and my friends sister had the orignial one. She said how great it was but when I compared the price (roughly £9 when I was paying £4.99 for my great lash) I never ever thought I would be able to afford it, aw youth.

So since this one is meant to be all dark and smoky, I thought i'd give it a try!

The wand is a natural bristle brush which i feel is good if you already have quite full lashes, it just helps to give it that extra oomph.

so here i did a swatch of the Colossal Smoky eyes on the left and Maybellines other popular mascara Falsies on the right to see if it was any darker or smoky.

Judge yourselves, i think it's pretty the same though...

(by the way I really dislike falsies :( )

My eye with nothing on my lashes at all.

Here I curled my eyelashes for 9 seconds with just a cheapy H&M eyelash curler

With a few coats of Maybelline Colossal Smoky Eyes Mascara!

I'm quite a fan, I really like the look it gives my lashes.

I do feel it doesn't hold a curl so much and it would be a good idea to take the tube out and about with you and throughout the day just top up a bit here and there, but that's something I can live with.

I feel that for me, this is good every day, at night I could use darker colours and make it more smoky but for daytime it's just dramatic enough. 

The last time I went out for a meal with friends I went to put my false lashes on and then realised that with this mascara I don't feel I need any, so I put them down and just went out with this on! 

Plus people have been asking if I have falsies on anyway, result!

I really recommend this mascara, I believe its £7.99 and you will find it anywhere there is a Maybelline stand!

Go run, go, quick go get it!

Have you tried this?

What is your favorite mascara??

Yummy Yankee Candles!

So I'd love to start by saying how it's Christmas so that means the sickenly sweet Yankee candles come out, but really it's all year for me. 

I'm the kinda girl who wears Britney Spears Fantasy in summer, I'm not ashamed to leave a cloud of cotton candy where ever I go - even in 40 degree heat!

I see where it comes from though. 

The foodie scents are comforting, like that smell on a cold winter day where you bake tasty warm treats as it's cold outside and you're snowed in. 

I may have gone a bit day-dreamy there (In my mind I'm also baking in a sweet cottage, dream!) 

I'm not completely bonkers though! I would never ever burn the Christmas Cookie candle any other time than December, that would be just shocking and so wrong, some things do need to be sacred. 

I have asked for a big jar of the Christmas Cookie from my mummy and I'm torn, do I burn it that evening or save it for the next year?

(I know I'll end up burning it)

Red velvet doesn't really need to be a seasonal candle, it smells like Vanilla Frosting which Asda do all year round for £1 so that's my default Yankee, so I'm not sure if I will repurchase, but it was recommended by beauty gurus Eleventh Gorgeous, so I had to give it a whirl!

I so recommend any of these candles, Christmas Cookie is Clinton Cards scent of the month (of course!) at the moment so you can pick it up for 25% off & actually, it's the one I recommend the most!

Yankee candles are a tad pricey but if you're a fan of a good candle in the evening then to me, Yankee is the only way to go. 

You can get food smells in other brands much cheaper, but to me they don't smell right, they're always missing something or do not smell like what they're meant to be, however Yankee get it right every time!

One day I might step away from the foodie candles and onto something else.......

... hahaha sorry that was such a funny joke.

I will so continue to buy food scents which smell like cake, sweets and sugar just like I will forever wear Fantasy in summer.

If it's not broken, don't fix it!

What is your favourite Yankee Candle? 

I would love to try more!
