"To be beautiful is the birthright of every woman" Elizabeth Arden

After a busy few weeks I decided that my first post back would be a little product review. Something I have tried and tested and truly can not be without now.
Elizabeth Arden - Ceramide Capsules! (Daily youth restoring serum)
'This lightweight, silky-smooth serum for face, neck and décolletage quickly infuses skin with ceramides for a youth-restoring boost, to retexturise and revitalise the look of skin. Visibly improves skin tone and clarity, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and helps support skin's natural collagen levels for a firmer look. Skin is noticeably smoother, softer and more youthful looking!'
Ok I'm 21 and touch wood my skins pretty good the majority of the time! However it gets very dry! And I have days when I get home take my make up off and my skin feels awful! These have been my savour the past 3 months! Honestly I'll apply one capsules worth of product before bed and the next morning my skin is practically glowing! :)
They're definitely pricey one capsule is basically a pound, so I'm glad I tried so many samples before finally giving in and asking for my very own pot on the golden goodness for Christmas :)
They're so worth the money and I believe these bad boys will be in my skin care routine for a very long time!

What did Santa bring everyone nice for Christmas? :) xx

Bourjois 2-in-1 Tweezer and False Eyelash Applicator

Well I'm going to do a little mini review of a product that, I don't want to sound cheesy has practically changed my life! Haha! I know, but seriously! :) it's amazing!

Bourjois have developed an eyelash applicator that has made it so easy to apply false eyelashes a clumsy girly like myself is now able to have fluttering lashes in the blink of an eye! ;)

With a tweezer like applicator at one end to grab and steady. Then a flat ended prodder at the other I have never found it so easy! And all for under £5 I'm am highly impressed and this definitely has been my most worth while purchase recently.

If anyone is struggling with applying lashes then I urge you to pick one of the bad boys and give them a whirl!

Festive Bow ... thevintageset

Well today has been a rather splendid day spent shopping with the bestest! :)
After a lovely honeycomb hot chocolate thank you Costa, we mooched about picking up a few gems here and there!

Main purchase has to be my black glitter bow hair slide, from thevintageset
It's so festive and just the right size to add a touch of sparkle to any outfit! Officially in love!!
It's amazing having a Besty with all the go to pieces :)

Have you visited thevintageset? If so what have you brought?

The Festive Spirit

There is one thing for certain I ask Santa to bring me each year and that's perfume!
I love fragrance for the fact that it has the ability to remind us of certain memories or loved ones. I wore Roberto Cavalli the other day and all I could think about was my previous holiday to Greece as soon as I smelt it. This got me thinking, I always struggle to feel festive so why not get a perfume to solely remind me of the festive season.
As I always have perfume for Christmas I need one to make me feel like it is Christmas, and maybe this way each year it'll work it's magic and get me feeling festive again.
My chosen fragrance has been Elizabeth Arden's Red Door Aura.
Now I'm quite surprised as I find the scent of the original Red Door so over powering and well, a little bit old ladyish if I'm honest. But Red Door Aura is really lovely! It's so fresh smelling and floral but with a spicy edge so it smells really festive :)
I got this little set for £25 and I'm so impressed! The body lotion is highly fragranced and could definitely be worn alone :) so this is going to be my signature scent through out the month of December and I can't wait to wear it!

What are your favourite festive fragrances?

Pink Sands Yankee Candle

As its getting closer to the festive season I have invested in a few new candles that have a more wintery feel about them.
However nothing ever comes close to my Pink Sands Yankee Candle! I have been through three of these now since discovery as I just can't help repurchasing it when it's all burnt out.
It's become a really comforting fragrance and whenever I'm feel a tad low it some how makes me feel a little bit better.
It's sweet scent is floral but fresh, and Yankee candles are so scented that it leaves my room smelling gorgeous without being too over powering! My all time favourite candle, whatever the season!

Stocking Fillers: Glossy Box

As always I was so excited to see the postman wondering to the door, Glossy Box in arm and this month definitely didn't disappoint!

Everything in this box will 100% be tried and tested and I can't wait! In this months box I received ...

DR.JART+ Water Fuse Beauty Balm
I cannot wait to give this a try, I love BB creams, whether used under foundation or on its own for a natural look.

Crabtree & Evelyn Himalayan Blue Hand Therapy. This smells lovely and is the perfect size to keep in my handbag. I'm addicted to using hand creams so I'm always happy to have plenty in stock!

Alison Claire Natural Beauty Mango Body Butter. Ever since I smelt the body shop mango body butter I've always loved the smell of mango and again this one doesn't disappoint! It's sweeter and not overly zesty, when tested on the hand you can see its really hydrating. Can't wait to use this!!

I received a Nails Inc polish in the colour porchester square! It's a lovely lavender nude colour and exactly the kind I'd of chosen for myself so very happy :)

Lastly Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant
I have very dry skin so if I use exfoliators I do it once a week and try to use ones that aren't too harsh! So this one will definitely have to be a tried with caution but fingers crossed it'll be ok!

Very happy with this months box!!what did everyone else get in there glossy box?

The chosen colour ...

Sugar Bakers Court! :)

I decided to try out this colour first because I've literally never used a similar one to it! And I'm really pleased with the result! The polish is highly pigmented in colour and the amount of glitter, without looking caked on top of the nail! I can't wait to try out the rest!!
