Fragrance Friday

Fragrance Friday


This week's Fragrance Friday is Vintage by Kate Moss, I seriously love this perfume, I got for Christmas years ago and I have never been able to find it since, until I did this blog post so I just ordered my second bottle! This has been one of my favourite perfumes and I was devastated I could never find it so I am so excited. The fragrance has a fruity and floral scent, it also has some jasmine with a hint of musk and vanilla. It is so beautiful and not overly complicated, I think a cold winter day would bring out the notes better than a summer day would as it's sweetness might over power during summer day. However it's a nice pick me up during the cold weather.

I would rate this perfume 5/5 because it has a great staying power and I am OBSESSED with it!

You can purchase it here:

That's all folks, hope you enjoyed this week's Fragrance Friday!

This week's Beauty Buy Of The Week is Elegant Touch nail polish remover. This nail polish remover is so cool! I never thought I would say that about nail polish remover but seriously look at the picture, the way it changes colour is so fun looking! It also does a great job at removing the polish.

Tan Tuesday

Tan Tuesday




This week's Tan Tuesday I chose Dove's Summer Glow and Soft Shimmer nourishing lotion, I tried the medium to dark skin. I must say when you are in the sun the soft shimmer turns into a bit of a glitter bomb. I woke up the morning after I applied it to a really great dark, natural tan. It looked flawless, I am seriously obsessed with this product! My body is so unbelievably soft because of the nourishing lotion part and I have a great tan which everyone complimented me on, it looked like I had come back from a week or two abroad.


I would rate this tan 5/5 because it's a great tan and lotion. It is also so cheap and right now it's actually half price so costs only 3.34 euro (I just ordered another bottle!)

You can purchase Dove Summer Glow and Soft Shimmer nourishing lotion for medium to dark skin here:

That's all folks, hope you enjoyed this week's Tan Tuesday!

Manicure Monday

Manicure Monday



This week's Manicure Monday is a little different because I actually used stick on nails. I got these nails with my July Glossybox so I decided to give them ago, I received them in a nude shade. First of all can I just say I have really long nails naturally that I can't normally use fake nails unless they're being done professionally to measure, but these fit! I was so excited I only had to really file one nail down a little and even then it wasn't that much so girls who have long nails don't worry you can wear these too!


I am wearing Broadway Impress nails, I found it a bit of a struggle at times because I use my hands a lot because I do a lot of house work and I have two horses to ride but I still found they lasted a couple days of being banged against reins etc. I would definitely use them if I wasn't planning on riding that week so if you don't do a lot of work with your hands I would say they would last on you, plus I got enough spares that I just added on the extra. The nails look so good though I do love them and one of my friend had them on and they lasted 10 days with her! 

Method:

1. Wash and dry hands, then find the correct size for each nail.
2. Using the enclosed prep pad prep the nails.
3.  Peel off the sticker on the back off the nail and place firmly on your own nail, press firmly down the middle then down each side of the nail.
4. Repeat the above steps with other nails (apply thumbs last.)


I would definitely recommend these nails if you are going on a holiday or an event they would be perfect or even if you don't use your hands to much in your job or at home.

You can pick from a wide range and purchase your own set of Broadway Impress nails here:

That's all folks, hope you enjoyed today's blog!

Whether it is singing, acting or designing Jennifer Lopez is a force to be reckoned with. On top of all of her many talents, this mogul has got some serious style! Here are some of J-Lo's top styles and how to recreate them.

1st of July 2014 Lopez was seen styling out and about in New York City, she looked adorable and ready for summer. She was seen wearing Markus Lupfer Love Myself sweater and Gucci Hollie wedges. She accessorized with a Hermes bag and cuff. New Look do a similar sweater which you can get here: you can also get similar shorts from Hollister here:

J-Lo oozed sex appeal in July 2014, she attended the Versace fashion show at Paris Fashion Week. Lopez graced the Atelier Versace show wearing the strapless white Versace hour glass dress with her hair tightly pulled back.


I am obsessed with this look on Jen, she looked amazing at the American Idol Finale on May 21 2014. She wore the this Kaufman Franco fall 2014 crystal slashed dress which I think is just a gift from god! She accessorized it with Jimmy Choo Tartini pumps and a Supreme Jewelry baguette diamond ring.  You can get similar heels from Korky's here:




This sleek look is from The Weinstein Company's Golden Globes after party on January 13, 2013. Her make up was pure perfection and it complimented this gorgeous Zuhair Murad Fall 2012 couture gown.



I adore this sweet yet sexy look from October 2012. J-Lo attended the Chanel fashion show at the Grand Palais in Paris during fashion week. The adorable yet still sophisticated white lace dress from Chanel. She paired it Chanel boy bag Resort 2013 and Tom Ford padlock ankle strap pumps.



Words can't express how much I am in love with this look from the American Idol Results Show for the top 9 in March 2014. She is wearing this absolutely amazing dress from Lanvin. I just love this because it is so simple yet it's sexy and elegant at the same time, UGHHH if I could get my hands on this dress just WOW. She paired it with nude Christian Louboutin Pigalle patent leather pumps.


My final Jennifer Lopez look is from the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards. Jen rocked the red carpet in Los Angeles in January 2013 in this stunning Zuhair Murad Spring 2013 long sleeve embroidered lace gown, I remember watching it on E live from the red carpet and honestly the pictures don't even do it justice! She paired the look with her nude Christian Louboutin Pigall patent leather pumps.

Well that's all folks hope you enjoyed today's blog!
