Hey lovely ladies!!!
Those of you that followed my blog from the early days will know that I have quite the obsession with MUA lipsticks and bought a lot of them in spring. I have been neglecting them in the more recent months.
However I spotted it in my lippie drawer earlier and created this Christmas Party look with it on YouTube.
It's all about the dark lips don't ya know!
Anyway, I have started mixing it with Clarins Jolie Rouge in Pink Sugar. Together they create the PERFECT darker glossy lip. The MUA lippie is very moisturising as alone and creates such a fab rich deep colour. However, in the winter months I like to wear something on top of lipsticks just to lock in the moisture, which is where the Jolie Rouge comes in. Yay! These lippies are super moisturising and work really well over all my lipstick (I have shade Papaya also). The MUA lippie is £1 and the Clarins is around £15 (christmas list alert!!)
Any of you ladies going to be rocking the dark lips trend this christmas??

Hey lovely ladies!!!
Yes I know - most of you will already have this foundation - but it is my first time purchasing it so naturally I had to review!!!
I LOVE it. It is the perfect coverage and makes my skin look flawless. Also, another bonus - it lasts ALL day for me (even without powder to set) Yay.
I use shade NC30 which is the perfect tone for my skin and blends perfectly with my neck. Any darker and I would look RIDIC-U-LOUS. Any lighter and my skin looks a bit Twilighesque - you know death like pale (having said that - them vampires are just so stunning, shame I can't pull it off - haha)
Anyhooooooooo - here is what it looks like on with flash:-
I am loving this foundation. It is so so good and perfect for all the xmas do's coming up.
But alas! There is one flaw - its really drying on my skin. Anyone else have this problem??
Please tell me your secret moisturiser/primer remedies for prevention of dry flaky patches when using this foundation?????
Thank you xxxxxxxx

First of all - not that I judge a perfum by it's looks but how gorgeous is this bottle!! I so love how cute all the perfume bottles are at the moment - they make the perfect addition to all girlies dressing tables.
So I have been wearing this beaut now for around a month or so - it lasts for agesssssssssss because it is Eau de Parfum Spray. Result.
I love the smell. It is said to be
A joyous and exhilarating wealth of freshly cut blossoms, natural accents and elegantly feminine wood harmonies.
The scent is a combination of
The scent is a combination of
lemon tree blossom, wild hyacinth, sweet apple accord, black currant bud absolute, sambac jasmine absolute, star magnolia, malibu poppy, honeysuckle, linden blossom, orris extract, sheer patchouli flower, and enveloping musks
So what does that mean I hear you cry!!? To me it has a strong sort of citrus scent - I smell more oranges than lemons and apple - but it is really fresh smelling. It definitely also has a floral smell to it also. It's very yummy and girlie without being really sweet.
The Perfume can be purchased at £34.00 for 30ml/ £45.00 for 50ml and £60.00 for 100ml. The shower gel retails at £27.00 for 250ml. These can be found in stores such as Boots and Debenhams - perfect xmas gift (for someone or a request for yourself hehe!!)
All in all I think that this is a really nice summer perfume. Although I am wearing it currently I would say that it is the perfect fragrance for bare-footed evening walks on a tropical beach.
Now, just to book that holiday...
