Dior Cannage Couture Collection palette!

Hey everyone,
                     I am just hardly fitting in time to post today! But yesterday I got scent this 'Dior Cannage Couture Collection palette' from my Auntie. Which was super lovely and nice of her because this is one of the most luxurious palette's ever! I have just heard that this is limited edition but my Auntie got it from the airport. So let me show you the palette which has almost everything you need for a perfect look.


The box-













Inside-

I like the black leather packaging and the criss-cross design. But here's what you are dying to see the palette:



The Palette inside:






The palette includes  
3 mini Nude Compact Foundation #020
6 colour 25g Eyeshadows #105-739-951-602-562-070
2 Ultra Gloss #183 -483
Dior Addict High Shine High colour #674
Mini Dior show Extension Mascara
 
I love all the products in this palette but was really impressed by the Compact Foundation. If you swish all the colours together you get a lovely natural colour. The glosses are all sheer but I swatched a few of them on my fingers. The two little brushes are smooth and the hairs don't fall out at all. The 6 eyeshadows are really smooth and pigmented all the colours all lovely. The first side has a pearly white colour then the middle on is a violet colour and last is the dark purple. The next side has a creamy simlar to the one on the other side colour then in the middle a darkish brown colour and last is a darker brown. All of the eyeshadows and the foundation compact have a little criss cross design on them.

What do you think of my palette?
                                                     Lots of lovely love,

What's in my small bag!

Hey everyone,
                      It was my mums Birthday yesterday which was really fun.  We went out for dinner I got Enchiladas and then a toffeeholic which I didn't eat all of. I got her a new Revlon lip butter in Sweet Tart which is lovely on her. I love my mum so much she is caring and kind and knows what's best for me, I would be lost without my mum. Anyway I was trying to figure out which post to do and I just had my smaller bag beside me. This bag is like the bag I would take if I knew I wasn't doing much. I have a bigger bag that I take most of the time but as I said this lighter and has my needs in it.


This is a really small shoulder bag that is just really pretty. This has like a crocodile print on it and it's real black leather. This has a very long strap that you put over your shoulder which is really easy to carry. I forgot to mention this is from Nine West and I love all Nine West bags they're all very classy and pretty. Inside this had two compartments and I pocket at the back which is really a lot of room. I will go ahead and show you what the hecks inside:


My phone: Of course I have my phone in my bag! What can you do without your phone I mean nothing really. I still have a year left of my Orange Contract so I have to wait to get a new phone. I do love my Blackberry Curve it's really easy to use and I love my cover. It's Justin Bieber and has like a Justin Bieber signature on it. It's purple which I think is Justin's fave colour. I think the camera on this is kinda good better than some I have had.
My personal tin: I do have my tin of lady things in it which is kind of embarrassing. It's very cute and a good idea but only fits one little pad in it. This is from Bodyform from 'The Seven Collection'. I really love these tins and think they're a good idea. How embarrassing would it have been if your bag fell and your personal things came out!
My Paul's Boutique: I did a post on Paul's Boutique a few days ago and I now I've got a small purse from Paul's Boutique. It's very small so I put coins,cards and money folded over which is a lot really. This is in the colour Blush, yes it did have the key rings on it but they fell of! It's really easy to fit in this bag but if I was taking my bigger bag this would be my coin purse. It has a rip at the bottom of the leather which I can't tell you guys how mad I am about that!!! 
Revlon lip butter Creme Brulee: I did a review on this HERE! I have got lollipop but I just don't bring it in my bag. I like to just re-apply it as I always wear it all the time and it's just such an everyday colour. It's kind of yellow based which you will see in my review but it suits me. I love the way it looks in your bag you know what I mean! You know cause of the packaging is really cute, sturdy and classy.
Rose and almond Vaseline: Who doesn't carry Vaseline it's like an essential for me. When ever I get a cracked or chapped lips I pull this out and apply this. It's like so moisturising and it's just a love of mine. You can also use this when your shoes get too tight which is a great tip. This also smells really good it's almond and rose scent which I am in love with. I think this is tinted which is really un-usual for Vaseline but cool.
No7 High Shine Lip Gloss: This is in the shade whisper which is really pretty! It's a nude natural colour that is very wearable. This is really sticky but I like the sparkle and gloss it gives on your lips. I use this all the time and it's easy to use and apply. This has a small brush applicator which is easy to get good full lips. My sister got this but somehow she doesn't like it! She says she feels it far too sticky and doesn't like this exact shade.
Benefit Lust Duster loose eyeshadow: I did a review on this full set called 'All That Shimmers' HERE is the review. This is easy to use because you just put your finger in the jar and use it as a highlight. Oh! I use it as a highlight because the colour Snow Bunny is just like a sparkle on your eyes. It's actually easy to use and doesn't spill everywhere I would advise keeping the little plastic lid which is on top of the un-opened product(but I threw mines in the bin). The little pot is really cute and classy!
Collection 2000 Extreme Eyeliner: I've got no idea why I have a eyeliner in my bag as if I can stop and apply eyeliner well I guess in the bathrooms. This has a felt tip applicator which is really good and gives a fine line. Mine has sort of leaked though! It kind of went on my hands while I was applying it.
My back pocket:
A pen: I've got a pen in my bag is this normal but no pad. I think it's for jotting down ideas and all but it's pink. Nothing more to say about my pink pen.
A bracelet: My friend Taylor gave me this bracelet for Christmas and I love it! I wear this all the time it's so pretty. I just have it in my bag to pop it on anytime! That's the last item in my smaller bag.

                                                  Lots of Love,

Super scent Sunday: Escada Fashion Fragrances!

Hey everyone,
                        Anyone else love Escada perfumes! I wanted to try out Escada's 'Especially Escada' which was their floral scent. But the Fashion Fragrances are far from that! They're all pretty fruity I did a Sparkly scent Sunday on the DKNY Sweet Delicious which had a trio in the set as well and also was for Summer. So here's the trio:
 Fashion Fragrances
Escada say-
The Best of 20 years of Summer Fragrances. Continue celebrating the summer with Escada.

The trio has a beautiful bottle as you can see! It has a design on the bottle with a pink ribbon and a charm on each one which is just like so cute. This is Escada's Summer Edition for 2012 and I am loving them. The bottle has a really cute shape and the colours of the bottles are really pretty as well. From left to right is Sexy Graffiti, Island Kiss and Rock'in Rio. So lets get started on the reviews:

Fashion Fragrances
Sexy Graffiti- What they say about Sexy Graffiti-
 Red berries play the main role in the top notes of Escada's Sexy Graffiti fragrance, including raspberry and wild strawberry shining with luminous grapefruit sparks. The heart offers skillfully balanced notes of lily of the valley, violet and red peony, softening the fruity opening and providing a romantic twist, while the base enables a softer and subtle closure with accentuated cashmere wood and soft vanilla. 
I really love this scent partly because it's my kind of scent. I like flirty, sexy and fun scents and that's exactly what Sexy Graffiti is and it's my fave colour PINK! It smells just like fruity and sweet which I really love. The charm on this is a cocktail glass which is really cute and it has a skyscrapper on the front of the bottle. If you aren't a fan of the fruity sweet scents maybe if your older even not the scent for you. It gets a lot of compliments from people and is really long lasting. It also has a clean&fresh scent to it so you can wear it everyday from dusk till dawn.
Top notes: Wild Strawberry, Raspberry, Pink Grapefruit, Blackcurrant
Heart notes: Lily of the Valley, Red Peony, Violet
Base notes: Cashmeran, Vanilla, Musks
Fashion Fragrances

Island Kiss- What they say about Island Kiss-
Escada Island Kiss is a fragrance inspired by Caribbean beaches, fragrant coasts, salty air and lush notes of fruit and flower. Top notes include orange, passion flower and mango highlighting that this is an exotic edition refreshed with aquatic, juicy and fruity peach notes combined with magnolia in the heart. The base adds woody notes and sensual musk.
This is a really tropical,fruity and excotic scent you can't go wrong with it! It is a really fun scent to wear and I wouldn't honestly wear it that often. I like the scent but it can become sickly wearing it all the time. I don't want to give it a bad review but I just want to be honest.This bottle has a little palm tree charm and I love the colour of blue this is. It has a picture of a odd looking palm tree on the front too.
 Top notes: Orange, Passion Flower, Mango
Heart notes: Magnolia, Sunny Accord, White Peach
Base notes: Hibiscus, Blond Woods, Musky Notes, Red Fruits
Fashion Fragrances
Rock'in Rio- What they say about Rock'in Rio-
Escada Rockin Rio eau de toilette spray for women is described as a floral and citrus scent, opening with top notes of pineapple, mandarin and papaya, flowing into a heart of peach and sugar candy, all of which sits on top of a base of gourmet, coconut milk, sandalwood and musk.
Anything with coconut I am in! Sooo...As you can tell I love this scent it's sweet,fruity and tropical. Lot's of people hate coconut so maybe give it a sniff first before ordering. I think this is my fave out of the trio. I also like the orange and yellow sunset bottle. It has a symbol on it but I don't know what it is any idea? This has a sunglasses charm on it which is really cute!!!
Top notes: Tangerine, Papaya, Pineapple
Heart notes: Pina Colada, Sugarcane, Blush Peach
Base notes: Driftwood, Sandalwood, Musky Notes

The price is kind of exspensive at £32.50 for 50ml but for a set it's £19.99-

My beautiful nails!

Hey everyone, yesterday I got my nails done at the salon. I've tried and tried my Holographic nail kit but I just can't get it to work. It worked the first time but then it kind of went wrong. Some of the peel was striping off and I was just kind of hopeless at it. Don't get me wrong you should try it out it's easy but I'm just like the worst at nails. I am trying it out again though so if it works that's a review to look forward too. As I always say my nails are kind of short and wide but I can manage to style them.












Okay I wish I had someone to do my nails like this every single day. I think she like did a love heart upside down at the top wait for it to dry and outline it with silver. Then colour the bottom part around pink then add a little dot of red. Are you guys any good at nails or are you just like me?

                                                         Lots of Lovely Love,

LUSH Haul!

Hey everyone,
                     Who's ready for a LUSH haul! I did a take a bath post recently and I got a comment from Rianne saying that she loved my LUSH products so I decided to buy some while I was up in Glasgow. At the LUSH in Glasgow they still have Easter items and Mothers day items which was very lucky for me. I bought 5 sweet products so here they are:

                                                                

                                                           


                                                       ❣The Carrot ❣
The Carrot is a reusable bubble bar I haven't ever tried one before. I think you get 3 maybe 4 uses out of this. Shakira made the scent for The Carrot, using fruity essential oils of buchu, which has a lovely blackcurranty scent, together with lemon and bergamot to give this carrot an unexpectedly tropical touch. Lots of people did bad reviews on this and I am one of them! I hate the colour it turned my bath it was like a yellowish orange. The straw thing fell of so I couldn't work it anymore. I hate this product LUSH and the scent didn't really smell that strong. Sorry LUSH I give this 4/10!












❣ Think Pink ❣

I love this who doesn't want a pink flirty smelling bath! It says you can use this when you feel bad and have your first heartbreak aww :( It smells like tonka and vanilla, with a hit of neroli which lifts you up from your sadness. I love the 3 little flowers on top they're so cute. I think that these use to be bigger but they are small now. I have used this in my tub it was really relaxing and my skin was smooth and soft.







❣  Butterball ❣

I buy this bath bomb EVERY single time I'm in LUSH. Mostly because it leaves my skin feeling the best it's ever been. It smells like sweet vanilla and cocoa butter which is one of my favourite combinations. I haven't used Butterball yet but as I said I buy it all the time so I have used one before. It leaves little particles of cocoa butter floating in the bath tub. It does leave the tub a little greasy but no fear Lucy just got out her Detol and scrubbed. I give this 7/10!

❣ The Immaculate Eggception ❣

I was really upset because The Immaculate Eggception broke as I was coming home from Braehead. It was £7 but I guess it's big you can get about 3 baths if you spilt the shell in half and then use the bath bomb inside. This has a mix of vanilla and citrus but it kinda smells of Twilight bath bomb. This is said to stain your bath as well awww :( I am getting fed up of Detol.


❣ A Token To The Forest Gods  ❣

This is the last product and they're only £1.00 but they are kinda smallish things. It has the scent of sweet wild orange and grapefruit essential oils. This is like a bath bomb you drop it in water and it fizzes away. You know when you have a cold and your mum makes you put your head over hot water with a towel on your head well that's what you do. I have been told it leaves your skin fresh and clean.

Lots of Love,


P.S Remeber to pick up your LUSH Times!


Sorry about the quality of the last 2 photos xx
