Jumbo Jet lashes anyone?

Daniel Sandler - Jumbo Jet

My face is not this orange/yellow colour in real life! As much as I would love to be a Simpson - Im not!

                                             

So I have been completely won over by this mascara! I recieved it in a glossy box a few months ago (at the convenient time that my other mascara had almost ran out/dried up). It adds amazing volume and length to my lashes instantly! It is a must on nights out and I have even gone out without my lash extentions, which is a rarity for me. In the picture I haven't used eyelash curlers either just the mascara. It adds the dramatic effect to your eyes and makes them stand out amazingly! This is why I love glossy box as I probably wouldn't of bought this product before. It retails for £14.95 which i think is a reasonable price and is available to buy online. There is also a baby jet mascara available for the little lashes at the inner and outter corners. The only downside to this product is that if your a lazy eyemake up remover this mascara will give you serious panda eyes (maybe panda face) if you do not remove it properly! It is a little stubborn and will take a lot more than a facial cleanser to remove. I haven't tried any Daniel Sandler products before but this mascara has made me a little eager to try some other products. If anyone has tried this product or can recommend any other products from the brand I would be grateful!

Christmas Wishlist!

Holidays are coming....! I thought I would share some of the things I have my eye on for Christmas, either for myself or family/friends! May give some of those struggling for ideas some inspiration...!

1) Kindle
I have wanted one of these for a while now, however I have always weighed up how often I would actually use it. Ive heard good reviews from friends about the Kindle such as good battery life, easy to use and easy to carry around with you! Although would I actually miss the turning of the pages and I do like knowing how far I am from the end of the book. I think its fantastic for holidays as you don't have to take a load of books in your suitcase. So I may have just sold it to myself and will put this to the top of my Christmas list. Plus I love the cute and quirky covers you can get to jazz them up. To have a look at the Kindle in more detail click amazon link.

2) Elemis Fresh Skin
I have only used the peachy perfect gentle face wash from this collection, which I am in love with. So I am eager to try the rest of the collection! This starter kit is a perfect gift idea. This will allow you to try the majority of the collection for £19.90 from Feel Unique and it is free delivery! Also at the moment if you spend £25 from the collection you get the face wipes for free. So you could even buy family or friends the kit and keep the wipes as a treat to yourself! The fresh skin collection is for teens to early 20's which I think is great, because it is the age where you are in limbo and are not quite ready for all the anti-aging products!

3) This is a bit of a lavish gift and I probably am unlikely to recieve it from santa....but a girl can wish! I love the watch from Links of London but not so much the price of £350. I love the rose gold that is on trend at the moment. I have the sweetie bracelet in rose gold and I just love wearing it and get lots of compliments. Beautiful!

4) Wildfox Couture Sweater
This is another lust Christmas gift as i'm getting a bit carried away. Firstly it is priced at £179 and secondly they are always sold out in my size. But I must say I am rather fond. I love Wildfox! So I may have another browse and choose a more realistically priced t-shirt or sweater! They are fantastic quality, and check their facebook page out for discount offers! I recently had 20% off!

5) Victor & Rolf Flower bomb EDT
If you are looking for a gorgeous perfume to buy as a gift this is perfect. I am yet to meet someone that doesn't love this perfume. It seems to suit so many people! You can get it in Eau de toillete or Eau de parfum and the prices vary. Its a little more expensive than average but worth every penny. There is also a limited edition one new out which I may get for my mum as she loves most Victor & Rolf products. Check them out on the Boots website where you can get double boots points for a limited time.

6) Lion King Disney DVD
Aww every year for Christmas I get a Disney DVD and this year Lion King has been re-released. So I feel this will be Santa's chosen one for me. I love the Disney films, I think you cannot beat them. I want the entire collection so my children one day can watch them all! My favourite is Little Mermaid! It wouldn't be Christmas in my house without copius amounts of Disney films with mulled wine!

  7) Babyliss Waving Wand
I love wavy hair and I've seen loads of good reviews on this! This looks simple to use and creates a great look! Priced at £17.40 on Amazon which I think is a great price. May get one for a friend!

8) Mac Snowglobe Eyeshadows - Warm
These eyeshadow sets are lovely from Mac. They are available in cool, warm and sultry, Warm is my favourite. These are priced at £31 available here. I love the colours as I don't have anything similar in my collection. I like the packaging and if you look at the website you will see the lid has a glitter snowball effect, its cool and different!

To ombre or not to ombre?

I have been wanting to Ombre my hair for ages! I finally plucked up the courage but my hairdresser was very reluctant to do it! She then said it was just having the underneath highlighted which I couldn't see it was! After a few comments I kind of got the impression she did not want to do it and I wasn't quite sure she even knew how! So the result was an all over brown! However I still really really want it done! I went to another hairdressers who were also reluctant and suggested just getting blonde extensions for underneath! Can anyone reflect on how this is done, may even look at the DIY ombre videos on Youtube! Watch this space........

One of my all time favourite products!

Hi guys, I thought it was about time I started mentioning a few of my favourite products! I love reading these on blogs as you know they have been well tested. So my most reached for product has to be Elizabeth Arden's 8 hour cream. I love this and think it is, what I would call an all rounder! I bought it to use as I had sun burn and my skin became so dry and red, it was amazing! I have since used it for so much more. It is great for my lips and keeps them from getting dry and chapped and in great condition. I use it like a gloss over lipstick to add some extra shine. I use it for the ends of my hair like a serum product, and it helps to de-frizz my mane! Love it for dry areas, especially on my hands. I think its great as the cream lasts ages, ive had mine for about 9 months and havent even used a quarter.  It comes in a handy pot that I find so easy to chuck in a weekend bag and know with just that pot I have a few essentials! The pot you see in the picture was a limited edition version and it usually comes in a white tube. It is available in most department stores at around £25, but it really is worth every penny! For more information or to purchase the product click here.

Must. Show. Off

I have to blog about these boots.....It would be rude not to. I love love love these boots. I got them on a shopping trip to London a few weeks ago and literally haven't taken them off my feet since. They are from Aldo and cost £90 (£81 with NUS discount). I love the colour as I am a tan fanatic! However the best thing about them is the comfort, I could wear these forever! They are so comfortable and easy to walk in, I love high shoes but I struggle to find pairs comfortable enough for every day life. If you like them but are doubting there comfort you have to try them on! They are available in black also (which I know are reduced on the asos site). I have had so many compliments when out wearing them. I feel they will be the preferred choice of shoes for autumn, although you do need to spray them to protect them as they will easily mark! You can pine over them on the aldo website. Christmas present maybe? Must. Resist. Buying. Black. Pair. Too!
