Celebrity Style Sunday

Celebrity Style Sunday


This week's Celebrity Style Sunday is dedicated to my favourite looks from the American Music Awards red carpet. This list is actually quite small because I must saw I was underwhelmed with the outfit choices celebs made this year.



One of my favourite looks from this year's AMA's has to be Kate Beckinsale in this stunning Kaufmanfranco gown with a Bulgari "serpenti" necklace to accessorize.


Fergie oozed sex appeal in this Halston Heritage gown. The black halter neck dress featured gold straps and a gold belt. It also had an unbelievably sexy thigh high slit.


Okay so Katie Krause looked super pretty in this adorable and flirty mini dress but I have no idea who designed it and can't find it anywhere.


Jessie J rocked the red carpet in this amazing white pant suit that featured a plunging neck line.


Taryn Southern stunned the AMA's in this adorable gold embellished mini dress.



Becky G looked unbelievable in this white and see through mesh mini.

My hands down favourite look of the night has to be the incredible Selena Gomez. Gomez dropped jaws in this long sleeved black Giorgio Armani Prive gown which was backless.

That's it for this week's Celebrity Style Sunday, I hope you enjoyed today's blog!

Fragrance Friday

Fragrance Friday


This week's Fragrance Friday is Halle Berry's Reveal perfume. I really enjoy this fragrance (as you can see from the now empty bottle.) If you're a fan of Beyonce's Heat but find it a tad too sweet then this is the perfect scent for you, like Beyonce it has the sensual and musky smell but minus the sweetness. This fragrance is perfect for a winter scent and it has a great lasting power. 

I would rate this scent 3.8/5 because it's a great scent and has a strong lasting power and it's quite cheap, however after a while you can get bored with it so I found I leave it a good while between uses.

Beauty Thursday

Beauty Thursday



This week's Beauty Thursday is dedicated to this month's Glossybox review. As usual I was excited for this Glossybox as soon as I had finished my review for October's one. However, although this month was good, I still found I was a little disappointed with the box.


Heal Gel Body


This product was a gel that is made to "smooth and regenerate troublesome areas of the skin." You simply apply the gel to the areas daily and wait to see the results. As you all know I have super sensitive skin so I was nervous to put anything on it even if it might help. I applied a very thin layer to a patch of dry skin and after a few days it did seem to be much better. We got a sample, however the full sized product is available for £39.50 here:

Lollipops Eye Pencil black "Goodbye Moon"


This was probably one of my favourite products this month, I love eye liner and the packaging is super pretty. This eye liner has a twist as it's not just a normal pencil, this eye liner is retractable. I found it lasted all day and had a great pigment. We received the full sized product worth 14 euro, which is available here:

Monu Soothing Hawaii Facial Oil


You apply this oil after you have done your cleansing and toning routine. You simply apply 2 pumps into your hand and massage into your skin. I actually love the smell of this oil, it's nice and soothing. You can purchase this item for £26 here:


H2o+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment


This item was basically a hydrating gel and was a sample size. You massage this into your face after cleansing like a mask for five minutes and then massage in the excess gel. I didn't actually find this product that great which was really disappointing. It was good but not overwhelming. You can get a full jar for $36 here:

Burt Bee's Lip Shine


We got the full sized product of the lip shine which was worth £6.99. I'm not sure if everyone got the same shade but I got the shade "smooch." I found the colour a bit dark for me but I did like the product, I would love to try a different shade which would actually suit me. You can purchase this product here:

Manicure Monday

Manicure Monday


For this week's Manicure Monday I chose to paint my nails with "Midnight Taupe" from Maybelline. (Oh my lord my hand looks pale with the flash on.) I actually loved this nail polish because it didn't chip for ages and looked super sleek.


Method:

1. File all nails so they're even and there are no hang nails.
2. Apply a base coat to prevent staining the nail.
3. Paint on the first layer of nail varnish.
4. Once the first layer is dry, apply the second layer of polish.
5. After the second layer of polish is dry apply a top coat to prevent chipping

If you want to purchase Maybelline "Midnight Taupe" you can do so here:

For this week's Celebrity Style Sunday I am breaking down my favourite looks from the Country Music Awards red carpet.

One of my favourite looks of the night was Danielle Bradbery. She looked stunning in this classic black gown which featured a plunging neckline.

Carrie Underwood (and bump) showed just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you can't rock a red carpet! She wore a custom made Lorena Sarbu gown which featured a high-low skirt.

Kimberly Perry was looking sexy in this Georges Hobeika black gown which featured a sheer sweetheart neckline.

Meghan Trainor showed you can still be stunning in a short dress. She wore this gorgeous Monique Lhuillier blue dress.

Jana Kramer looked unbelievable this year at the CMA's. She turned heads in this beautiful Badgley Mishka gown.

The last of my favourite looks but in no means least was Lucy Hale. She looked smokin' in this red hot gown by Romona Kevesa.

That's it for this week's Celebrity Style Sunday, I hope you enjoyed today's blog!

Fragrance Friday

Fragrance Friday

For this week's Fragrance Friday we are throwing it back to an old but favourite perfume of mine, Hilary Duff's With Love fragrance. I actually found this bottle in one of my old bags and there were a couple drops left of it. This scent is kinda of a warm, soft and spicy scent. I also found a few hours later out of the small spritz that I had on I could smell a hint of vanilla. I honestly don't know how I had forgotten about this perfume it's such a sexy scent perfect for a date night.

I would rate Hilary Duff's With Love fragrance 5/5 because it's an amazing scent which you can wear all year long and it has a great lasting power!

If like me you remembered how amazing this perfume is and need it back in your life, you can purchase it here:

Tan Tuesday

Tan Tuesday


For this week's Tan Tuesday I chose Garnier Ambre Solaire no streaks bronzer. I chose it in the medium shade. This spray is so easy to use. I really liked the colour I got with this tan, but due to the fact the spray is clear I would recommend doing the tan gradually for a few days and build up layers because it is heard to tell if you have missed a spot.

I would rate this tan 3.8/5 because it does have a fake tan smell and takes longer than it says it does to develop but overall it's a nice tan!

You can purchase Garnier Ambre Solaire No Streaks Bronzer Dry Body Mist here:

That's it for this week's Tan Tuesday, I hope you enjoyed today's blog!

Manicure Monday

Manicure Monday


For this week's Manicure Monday I chose a purple colour from Essence Colour and Go, the shade is called "Girls Night Out." I used Essence Colour and Go again  because it is so fast and easy to do when you have a busy schedule but want your nails looking great. Plus, like I have said before their nail polishes are super cheap!



Method:

1. File all nails so they're even and there are no hang nails.
2. Apply a base coat to prevent staining the nail.
3. Paint on the first layer of nail varnish.
4. Once the first layer is dry, apply the second layer of polish.
5. After the second layer of polish is dry apply a top coat to prevent chipping

You can purchase Essence Colour and Go nail polish in the shade "Girls Night Out" here:

She turned heads in this Alice and Olivia sequin dress which featured a keyhole back and Christian Louboutin Rolando patent leather pumps in nude.
