Spring Wishlist

So... apparently it's now Spring. You wouldn't think it by the arctic conditions facing us in the UK right now, but still, there's no harm in lusting over the colours, prints and fashion that Spring stock has to offer. 

 






Jeffrey Campbell Cut Out Shoes
As soon as I saw these shoes I fell a little bit in love. The lace up patent leather lining with gold hardware makes them look very old fashioned, but then the cut out heel brings a very modern edge. I can’t find them on any British websites, but they cost $175 in the US so I don’t even want to think about what the amount would total to including shipping. Just admiring images of them online will have to do for now.


Kate Spade bracelets
If I had to choose a favourite designer, it would be Kate Spade, although I am yet to own anything. As soon as I saw a gorgeous Kate Spade bag on instagram I have been hooked. I just think all the designs are a perfect mix between being quirky and girly. I adore the use of bows/stripes and signature spade prints/hardware on the products. The bracelets cost $38-$78 dollars but I am yet to find anywhere British which stocks Kate Spade.


Cat-Eye Sunglasses
For when the sun eventually makes an appearance, I’m definitely going to buy some cat-eye shades. These gorgeous oversized pair are from Stella McCartney and unfortunately cost £154 so I’m determined to find a pair which are like these with a more pocket friendly price tag.


Inept Laundress Volume Nail Lacquers by STRANGEBEAUTIFUL
As soon as I saw these nail polishes on someone’s beauty blog I instantly wanted them. The muted pastel colours seem boring but I think with the right spring outfit they would look amazing. They cost £65ish which initially seems very expensive but considering that you get 10 polishes it would work out cheaper than buying brands such as Essie, Butter London, O.P.I., Nails INC… etc. 


Real Techniques' Expert Face Brush
I have most of the Real Techniques brushes now but every time I go into boots this one seems to be sold out. So hopefully during spring time I shall come across it. As with all RT brushes, I have seen a lot of people rave about this one so I’d like to see what all the fuss is about. This brush costs £9.99.


Zara Office City Bag
Everyone on the bloggersphere seems to own this bag. It costs £49.99 and I wouldn’t usually consider spend this much money on a bag which isn't real leather but I love the simplicity and the fact it has a laptop zip up area in the middle which isn’t just for Apple mac’s. I also love how secure this bag is as I become a lil' bit paranoid when a bag doesn’t have a zip across the top! This bag will be ideal for Uni in September.


GAP Jeans
Gap have a sale on at the moment and these amazing printed jeans are included. I love how versatile these jeans are and they can be worn very casually or they can be dressed up. The jeans range from about £12.99 to £17.99, which is amazing considering the quality of GAP products.

Skincare Routine

Image
Starting with the morning, as I tend to not wear foundation in the daytime, but need other products such as my concealer to blend onto my skin nicely, I make sure I always use a moisturiser with an SPF of at least 30, regardless of the time of year. This is important when using the Alpha H Liquid Gold, as the active ingredients make skin much more sensitive to any rays and more likely to contract sunburn. The moisturiser I opt for is Elizabeth Arden's Flawless Future Moisture Cream which I find very lightweight and soothing on the skin. Throughout the day if my lips feel dry I apply the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant to them, as learnt from Gabbie Lindley from VelvetGh0st, which makes lips feel moisturised and have a nice sheen to them. If I'm heading out in the evening and want to wear a drying, matte lipstick I will feel like they are primed and smooth enough to do so. I sometimes pop this on my brows too to keep them in place as my friend Georgi

REVIEW! Mane N Tail The Original Shampoo and Conditioner

Image
  As I tend to rave to everyone and their dog about this line of haircare I thought I would compile my thoughts in a blog post (after two years of no posting – oops!).  I first heard about Mane N Tail from Cosmetics Charlotte on YouTube (Now called CharlottesChance). I immediately ordered the “original” shampoo and conditioner from Amazon to see the results for myself.   From the first wash I was hooked; my hair has never felt so soft and manageable; my unruly curly hair became much easier to style, whether I left it to dry naturally or used a hairdryer. I try to make sure that I don’t use them more than once a week as I am worried that my hair will get used to them and I often take breaks between repurchasing them as I know once I use it in my hair again, I will feel the effects more intensely. The added benefit is definitely the hair growth – if you’re in the market for a product to do this them make sure you purchase a set as I have tried many products claiming to stimulate

Christmas Wishlist!

Dear Santa… Pixi Glow Tonic 250ml £18 http://www.marksandspencer.com/glow-tonic-250ml/p/p22424632?&pdpredirect Who doesn’t need an extra glow in this awful weather? I have heard raving reviews about this cult product but for some reason I’ve never picked a bottle up, although they handily stock the Pixi range in Marks and Spencer in the UK. They also sell a cute giftable 100ml for £10 in their Christmas range. (If you’re quick and spend over £35 you may also be eligible to get their advent calendar for £35 too! So total spend is £70 to pick one up, and they are worth over £200) Kate Spade One in a Million “J” Necklace £50 http://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/kate-spade-new-york-one-in-a-million-j-12ct-gold-plated-pendant_133-3003424-WBRU7652/ I love this dainty necklace from Kate Spade and its personal touch of having an initial in the middle as this will look lovely with lower cut necklines on tops and dresses, and if you want to go all High School Musical
