FOTD #6.

Hello everyone, I hope you had an amazing Christmas! I certainly had a very lovely one, lots of food, gifts  and game board playing; my favorite :) 

This was my makeup look for the big day, I choose the `glitzy red` from my festive reds post and I'm really glad I did because  it was the perfect match to my sparkly top. I went for a gold eye with lashings of mascara which I love as it really brings out my eyes, gold and green is always a winner :)

April favourites.

It's that time again for me to recap what I've been loving for the last month :)


-MUA Undress me too pallette- 


As I've mentioned a few times before, I'm trying to get more into not just doing a simple flick of eyeliner, so I have been seriously loving this little palette! First off all, value for money, this wonderful little thing is just £4, which works out at roughly 33p per shadow! how crazy is that?! When the quality is so good, it simply baffles me how it can be so cheap! My favourite shades are `Shy`, a creamy nude with a subtle shimmer, `Reveal`, a lovely taupe colour, and `Devotion` a browny gold with a metallic finish. I think I'm going to have to buy the original now as well!

-Simple kind to skin refreshing shower gel- 

My Mum bought me this a few weeks ago, because I needed some new shower gel, and initially  I was a bit like, oh, no scent! but actually, Its really nice not to be putting something perfumed onto my skin for once! It really is refreshing and leave my skin feeling so soft and smooth after I use it. I don't have particularly sensitive skin on my body, but I imagine if you do this would be really great as its so gentle. 

-Balmi lip balm (mint)- 



I had been wanting to try one of these for a very long time, and seen as they were half price when I bought it, (only £2.50!) I decided to get one :) I didn't really want the mint one, however I love it! It's quite nice not putting something sickly sweet onto my lips for a change! It also makes your lips go all tingly when you put it on, so it has a really nice cooling effect. I like to put this on in the morning before school, and its still on my lips by lunchtime, finally a lip balm that works! And finally, how cute is the packaging!

-Rimmel match perfection  foundation- 



Where to start with this one! I absolutely love it! I bought this after I ran out of my bourjois healthy mix, and I honestly think this is better! It matches my skin tone really well and the wear time is excellent, whereas I found my old foundation would be going slightly patchy about half way through the day, this one stays put until I want to take it off! If you are looking for a new foundation or just want to try this out, I can highly recommend it :)

-Rimmel Apocolips in `Celestial`- 



I bought three of the appocolips, and this is by far my favourite. It's the most wearable shade out of the ones I picked up, and I just love it! It's a really lovely toned down pink, that I find goes with practically everything.  I'm sure you have heard all the blogger hype surrounding these lip lacquers, and I can agree, they really live up to it! 

-Batise original dry shampoo- 

This is more of a new favourite than a new one. I wash my hair ever other day (I went through a stage of doing it everyday, and my hair actually suffered for it,) so I like to use this on my second day hair. It really does give it a bit more life, body, and helps it look non greasy, so it really does do what it does on the tin (can!) My sister and me get through this stuff pretty fast, I think we've probably try every scent now! I really like this one though, it reminds me of lemon sherbert! :)

So thats it for another month! what have you been loving lately?

Wishlist #1

I always have a mental wishlish on the go, so I thought I would share what I'm currently lusting after!
1. Crop top- River island


I'm really loving crop tops at the mo, I think its because I'm craving a bit of sun. This is obviously a nod to the monochrome trend which I love and fully intend to embrace by adding this piece to my wardrobe! Its pricey, and £20.00 for a tee-shirt, its not cheap, but I can see myself wearing this loads; think disco pants, jeans and skater skirts!

2.  Vera Wang lovestruck (floral rush)


Every time I have been shopping lately, I've had to go it boots and spritz my self with this, I just love it! I'm awful at describing scents but I would say it was quite floral (duh), but not overly sweet. It reminds me a bit of palma violets as well. With any luck, I could be getting this beaut for my birthday :)

3. Lush- Fluffy egg bath bomb



Everybody love a bit of Lush, and I really want to get something from their Easter collection. Personally, I prefer the bubble bars to bath bombs, but this one looks lovely, and is a snip and only £2.95.

4. Urban decay `Naked basics` palette-

Everyone knows how brilliant UD's palettes are, and I would love to add this to my collection! I don't think I could justify spending the large amount on this lovely fellas famous cousins, but I don't think the £20 price tag of this one is too bad. I'm trying to mix up my look from eyeliner everyday, and I can see my self getting alot of use out of this, asd there all wearable shades. (On a side note, is it just me that thinks eyeshadow palletes with neon oranges and greens are just a tiny bit pointless?!)

5. Jack wills Merrifield dress

I love this dress! it's currently in the Jack Wills sale, for £49, which although is a lot, I think is actually quite good for JW, I just adore the vintage-esque print and the colour are to die for. I probably won't be purchasing this, because it is pricey, but hey, this is a wishlist!

Thats what I'm after currently! The weather is awful where I live right now,  I actually need some sun!

What's on your wishlist?
