Quick De-clutter/Empties Post - Part 1 - Summer 2015

QUICK DE-CLUTTER POST - PART 1 - SUMMER 2015


Hello lovely readers :) I just wanted to do a quick post to share with you what I've been using up over the past few months, I'm really trying to use up what I already own to save space and money but also to create a more minimalist environment, I have quite a few things I've either used up or decided to throw away as they are quite old or not longer work for me so I just wanted to share them with you all. I'm trying to own less and use more of what I have and be more creative that way I can create different looks without spending too much and without having too many products open at one time but for this post I wanted to share with you what I've used up most recently.


In this picture - MeMeMe Highlighter, Collection Concealer, Primark Eyeliner and a Model Co Lip Liner.

In this picture I have used up most of the Rimmel London Pink Nude Lipsitck and the Carmex Mint Lip Balm.

I also decided to throw away some of my old Makeup brushes which I've had for years as they no longer work for me and there's also a Nail File which never really worked so I decided not to keep it.

In this picture - Waitrose Pure Face Wash, Vaseline Moisturising Hand Cream, Two small Body Lotions from Sanctuary, a mini Benefit Posie Tint and a Mini Lip Balm I got in the Holiday sales last year.

I'm trying to use up what I have and become more minimalist, I like the idea of using what i have before buying more as I don't have a lot of space but love trying out new product so I can to this with the items I already own. I do love a good haul though but I will do them less often but I am always happy to review something new on my blog :)

Best wishes :)

THE NEW SCENT OF SUMMER 2015

THE NEW SCENT OF SUMMER 2015

Hello lovely readers hope your having a lovely Spring/Summer and with this in mind I though I would share with you a perfume I will most probably be using most days over this summer - its a relatively new release and was given to me as a gift for my Birthday a few months ago but I've be saving it for summer as its the perfect scent for this season.



MARC JACOBS - DAISY SORBET - I'm not that great at describing scents but this smells really fresh and sweet, its perfect for summer and the bottle is jut so lovely. It limited edition so its worth having a smell if you are looking for a new summer fragrance or just want to see what it smells like. This is my first Marc Jacobs fragrance but I would like to try more so maybe I will try one for another season.

The packaging is so cute just like all of the other Marc Jacobs Packaging - The tops of the bottle is decorated with three Daisies which are all in different colours - Purple, Pink and light Pink and the perfume itself is pink too!
I love the pretty design of the packaging the simplicity of curved glass bottle and the bright colour of each Daisy really make this bottle stand out as a decorative piece which I love - I will be using this as an accessory to decorate my room this summer - maybe keeping it on my desk or shelf so its not in direct sunlight.


What's your summer fragrance?

Best wishes :)

Mini Natural Collection Haul

MINI NATURAL COLLECTION HAUL

  Hello lovely readers for today's post I just wanted to share with you a few of the items I picked up the last time I went to Boots, these items are all from the Natural Collection brand so they are really affordable but good quality, I especially like their Eye Shadows. So here's what I got...


The Natural Collection Pressed Powder in NEUTRAL this is a re-purchase for me, I was looking for a new face powder as mine Soap and Glory one hit pan and cracked to I had to throw it away as it was just getting everywhere. But I remember buying this powder in the past and it worked well for em and its a bargain at £1.99 so it was worth trying again.




The second item is the Natural Collection Eye Liner in OLIVE GREEN - I love this colour its so pretty, I think its a nice change and I love a good pop of colour on the eyes. If they did more colours like this I would buy them all!


I love the Natural Collection Eye Shadows - This is the Shade WILLOW as you can tell I have started using this, I've swatched it a few times and think its a great colour for all over the lid as it brightens your eyes and makes you look more awake. This is pale cream colour with little bits of added shimmer which is great for a night out.

This second Eye Shadow is also a re-purchase I had this a few years ago but lost it so thought it would be great to try it again as these were all on offer so I though I would try a few things. This Eye Shadow is in the shade ASTEROID its a dark brown colour with subtle shimmer in it which really works at catching the light, it works great as as a crease colour  - I love the name of it too!


Have you tried any of these products?


Best wishes :)
