Miss Dior Eau de Toilette!

Miss Dior, has become such a popular perfume, and like many, I fell for the gorgeous fresh fragrance. I am terrible at explaining perfume scents, so this is what it apparently smells like; François Demachy likes a stroll through a blossoming garden. The same Couture style and the same theme are prolonged from the original Miss Dior to this new opus: a chypre accord, which is enlivened with a springtime spirit. A fragrance with floral accents that dazzles with joie de vivre. I bought the Eau de Toilette and really regret it. I love the scent, the notes are gorgeous, however I find that once I have sprayed the perfume, the smell fades to the point that I can't smell it, after about fifteen minutes. In my opinion the eau de toilette scent is not strong enough, in any way, and for that reason I purchased the le parfum, because I do love the scent! I would really advice anyone who is wanting to buy this perfume, to spend the extra £15 ( around about) and get the le parfum, because the scent lasts so much longer, and you don't have to constantly respray which wastes product. The eau de toilette is about £50 and the le parfum is about £63 (according to the perfumeshop). This is a truly amazing product, so spend the extra, it's really worth it!

Camouflage Trend !

The camouflauge army trend is definetly like marmite, you either love it, or hate it. I for one absolutley love it! I haven't found an army jacket that I love yet, but I am on the look out for one! The trend is slightly masculine, however you can add your own twist to it and make it your style and more feminine! I did pick up a shirt the other day, based around this trend, and I have already worn it about three times, I am just so in love with it!. The shirt is from Newlook, and was £24.99. I thought it was quite expensive, but only because I think Newlook supplies quite low priced pieces, with amazing quality! If you are intersted in this item, what I will say is it is quite oversized, so you may want to consider going a size down. I love wearing this shirt with leggings and knee boots,with my studded bag. It gives a really edgy, and on trend look, and being a real girly girl, I like to change it up, and experiment with current fashion!

Zara Parka!

I love Parka's! However I have always found that they haven't suited me as much as I would like them to. This parka though is a complete exception. I absolutely love it! The coat has a thick sheep skin layer inside and on the inner hood., There are four pockets, all together and the simplicty of it allows the coat to be worn casually or a bit more dressy (I dont mean for a night out occassion, but an interview or meeting). The coat is medium lengthed, and can be pulled in at the waist, so you can make it suit your figure! It also has a leather detailing down the zip and around the collar, making it alot different from other parka's I have seen. The price of this coat is £89.00. To some people this is pretty steep, however the thickness of this coat, and by the fact I got it at the beginning of October, and being England it is always cold, I feel like I will get my moneys worth for this item and I absolutely love it! Parka's are such a statement piece for this Winter, and this will probably become a fashion favourite. If you are looking for a cheaper priced parka, H&M sell one, which comes in around four different colours (khaki green being one of them), under £40.00 and Primark do one for under £30!
Enjoy! xx

YSL Rouge Volupte Lipsticks!

I had such high hopes for these lipsticks! I am a huge fan of YSL, and I often purchase products from their makeup line, however this product wasn't really for me! I am in no way, saying that this product is poor quality (because it isn't), it's just the texture that doesn't make me fall in love with these lipsticks.

The Rouge Volupte lipsticks, have been around for quite a while now, and for many people, are a staple lip product. The way this lipstick applies is to soft for me. By this I mean it feels more like a moisturiser on my lips and the colour on the lips lasts about half an hour (on me)! It is like a MAC cremesheen formula, with that extra moisture, and it doesnt seem to dry at all, meaning that it comes off pretty quickly as the lips haven't absorbed the product. These lipsticks are £23.50, and although I feel that MAC lipsticks give a nicer effect, if you like constant moisture and a hydration feel on your lips then this may just be the product for you!

There is a good range of colours from this particular line, and I fell in love with most of them, when I first spotted them at the counter! The packaging is also gorgeous. YSL definetly wins the award for me when it comes to packaging products making everything from their makeup line feel like a luxury treat!
