Sample Delight....

Ok so I am completely in love with this product that arrived in my July Glossybox. The Weleda regenerating pomegranate body oil has become an essential in my summer wash bag. Firstly it smells incredible, and the smell lingers for hours. Secondly, for an oil it absorbs into my skin quickly leaving it with an amazing glow. Weleda products are also made with all natural substances and this product is suitable for vegans. This particular oil claims to firm and renew skin by 50% in 2 weeks. I can't really comment on the firming as I have hit the gym pre-holiday so I do feel a lot firmer but I couldn't honestly say how much impact the oil had. But, my skin feels so much softer and considering I've been in the sun for a few weeks, my skin is in good condition!

The much added bonus to this is that it usually retails at £19.95, however mine came with the Glossybox which i pay £10 for and this was one of five products! For more information or to buy this product click here.

Jergens Naturals - Aloe soothing!

I have heard a lot of good things about the Jergens Natural moisturisers. So recently when I went on holiday I noticed they did an aloe vera soothing moisturiser and thought I would replace my aftersun with this product. The  product is actually made with 94% natural products and this particular moisturiser claims to cool, sooth and calm skin. So what I like about this product is that it is the perfect consistency and when applied after my shower in the evening would keep my skin feeling moisturised until the morning, but not too greasy! It does have a cooling effect but not as much as normal aftersun products. So I wouldn't recommend replacing your aftersun with this product, especially if you have a tendency to burn. Although what I will say is that on occasions, post holiday i can have a tendency to peel and with this product the peeling was very minimal, although I was very good at applying my sun cream regularly this year! But I do agree its a great moisturiser and there are six in the range so definitely one to suit your needs. I bought mine from boots at around £2.25 which was half price at the time.

The pleated skirt!

Pleated skirts are a must this season and are apparently going to be an even bigger must next season! Ive selected a few available from Missguided and Asos, although they are available everywhere! I am looking for a cream midi pleated skirt that is sold out from Boohoo, so would much appreciate if anyone has spotted one to let me know! I think they are very versatile you can team with a gorgeous cami and accessories or pull them up into a dress, with your favourite belt! Multi-purpose clothes are worth splashing out for....well that's what i tell myself anyway!

Sneaky bag purchase....

I popped into Tkmaxx the other day looking for......well nothing in particular, just a browse. This gorgeous bag caught my eye, I loved the weave effect of the bag and knew it would go perfect with some Miss KG sandals I have. It is designed by Nica which i'm sure most people have seen around and retails at £29. However in Tkmaxx I paid £16.99. This is available in the sale at House of Fraser at the moment.The bag has gorgeous detail and is lined beautifully inside. It also is deceiving as for a small-ish bag holds a lot!  I have seen this pattern in different designs in store aswell! I have far too many satchel smallish bags now and therefore am on the lookout for some big statement bags........Any recommendations?

Pretty Polish - Essie - Chips no potatoes

Ok so I'm a little disappointed with this Essie colour! In the bottle it appears very beige golden almost champagne like! However when applied to my nail it is so sheer. In the pic I've applied 3 coats plus Sally Hansen megashine. I used this a few weeks ago and hated it. However now I'm tanned the colour is growing on me. It's not a statement colour, more of a pretty subtle colour. However for those who prefer subtle colours or for people who work in areas that bright pink nail varnish is not appropriate, then this would be one for you. It does catch the light and the gold reflexes in the polish look gorgeous. I think I might apply it over another nail polish in the future for that little added extra.

Topshop Lipstick - on the town

My first successful purchase from my July lust list, and my first Topshop lipstick to my collection.......is On the town. It is a gorgeous lilac pink colour, that is like no other in my collection. The Topshop packaging is lovely, yet not the best at staying clean when thrown in your makeup bag. Its a lovely creamy formula that applied very nicely to my lips. I love the colour and texture of the lipstick but i did find it needed to be reapplied frequently. But then i seem to have those lips that always need lipstick/gloss reapllied often (im not sure what i do with my lips) but i do notice my friends lipstick stay on a lot longer than mine! It's priced at £8 which I thought was a reasonable price but I also got student discount making it £7.20.

Victoria Secret Beauty Crush Lipgloss

So my best friend recently went to Orlando on her summer holiday and to my delight bought be back two gorgeous lip glosses from Victoria secret. One in a cute pink colour called tropical and one in an orangey-red called red delicious. Both contain a slight gold shimmer and were $7 each. Well the first thing I will say, unsure whether positive or negative is that these lipglosses taste A-mazing! Very sherbet like. Positive because when applied to your lips you don't get a plastic taste, but negative because I want to lick it all off straight away because of the sweet taste!

These come in handy packaging perfect for your handbag to add instant colour to your lips for summertime. I took them on holiday with me and found them a godsend! They also contain and SPF 15. Perrrfect! They are great when applied on top of lipstick or alone for gorgeous glossy lips! They can be applied as thickly or thinly as desired!

                                                  Top - Red delicious
                                                  Bottom - Tropical

I have found this website that you can get these from the UK. I haven't used this website before, so cannot comment on how reliable it is, so you may need to do your research. But they are available for £4.99. Check Amazon as i'm sure you will find them there aswell.
