Haul: Birthday Haul

So...my birthday was on the 5th of March which means that this post is very late. Normally I tell you how much things are and where I got them from, but because these were gifts I can't really tell you. But I thought it would be interesting nonetheless. I also thought that it would give you ideas for potential gifts.   1. February Lust Have It box I thought this was a really clever gift idea very outside the box (get it..."wink wink"). Hmmm...Hmmm...Anyway if you look up other February LHI boxes they will be slightly different. This one came with a few extra goodies. I'm not sure how my friend did it, but I think if you request it (possibly pay a little extra). I'm not too sure. Contents of February LHI The box included: 1. The Cosmetic Kitchen Pure Mineral Eyeshadow - Nutmeg 2. LHI Synthetic Precision Pencil Brush 3. Aveda Dry Remedy Daily Moisturising Oil 4. Vaseline Ultimate 10 Anti Aging Body Lotion 5. Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel Sensi...

Empties: #5

1. Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm - Energising Orange I've already fully  reviewed these and they've been in most of my empties. In essence they are very moisturising and smell divine. This specific one smells like artificial oranges (not my favourite scent of the bunch). I'm trying to find the perfect lip balm and let me tell you it is not easy. So I'll finish the ones I have but I'm not 100% sure about repurchasing it. 2. Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm - Smoothing Cherry I probably should have put these together but whatever. The scent of this one is a bit strange but pleasant it's hard to describe but I will say it doesn't smell like cherries. It's not an overwhelming smell but the scent is a little sweet. I love the colour combo on the packaging of this one. It's so pretty. Would I repurchase? We'll see 3. Dior Ultimate Eyes Mascara (sample) This does NOTHING for my lashes. I'm glad this was a sample and I got t...

Dressale Wishlist WARNING

So sorry my followers and readers I've deleted my post because I don't want to be associated with this company. I'd trusted my instincts for a while and then finally came in after them sending me so many email. Check out this post if you have created a wishlist. I hope you all forgive me and from now on I will trust my instincts and if the company seems dodgy I'll let you all know.  http://www.bloglovin.com/frame?post=2506729123&group=0&frame_type=a&blog=3328770&link=aHR0cDovL2NyZWF0aXZlLWQtemluZS5ibG9nc3BvdC5jb20vMjAxNC8wMy9kcmVzc2FsZS13aXNoLWxpc3Qtbm90LWxlZ2l0Lmh0bWw&frame=1&click=0&user=0

Empties: #4

1. Guci Envy Me EDT Notes: Peony, Pink Pepper, Pineapple, Pomegranate, Lychee, Sandalwood, Musk  I would describe this scent as floral, somewhat sweet (not overly sweet), classy and a bit tangy. The longevity is not that great it's about 2-3 hours. I got this perfume a long time ago, at the time I enjoyed the smell but my taste has since changed and I'm not really a fan anymore. But the bottle is beautiful. Would I repurchase? No 2. AVON Wink EDT Top notes: pink grapefruit, cranberry, raspberry, red currant, black currant, blueberry Mid notes: freesia, calla lily, jasmine, water lily, lotus, rose Base notes: blonde wood, musk This scent is extremely fruity and sweet. This is the kind of scent I love but my problem with this is the longevity, it literally lasts an hour on me. Terrible... just terrible. I'm looking for a perfume that suits my taste but that also lasts all day. I think this is discontinued but you can find it on eb...
