Fragrance Friday

                                         Fragrance Friday





This week's Fragrance Friday I chose to review Celine Dion's Signature fragrance. I got it for Christmas and I must admit I didn't think I would like it but, fortunately to my surprise I did. I think it's a very sophisticated scent. It is quite powerful so one spray is enough otherwise it can be overwhelming. I think it is a great scent for women in their late twenties onwards to wear to work.

I would rate this scent 3.7/5 because it's a great day time, work smell and has excellent lasting power. However, if you over spray it can lead to a headache which is why I recommend you stick to one spray.

Beauty Thursday

Beauty Thursday



This week's Beauty Thursday, is a review and of the W7 Angel Eyes "Out On The Town" palette. I first want to state I was not sent this to review, I bought it myself. This little palette has become my best friend the last few month's, it's such a handy size to bring anywhere. It's a great combinatioon of shimmer shades as well as matte ones.


The shadows are described as "silky" and I agree, they glide onto the skin smoothly. When I used the colours separately I really liked them and they seemed nice and pigmented. However, I used the first three shades to create a nice neutral but smokey eye and they blended a little too well .


Saying that I do really like the palette and have been using it for my daily go-to look for college. I also think that for the price you can't really go wrong, just do be conscious about the first three shades to blend.

Manicure Monday

Manicure Monday


For this week's Manicure Monday I chose to do a coral coloured nail with a gold ring finger. I used Avon nail polish for the coral colour and used 17 "Copper" for the ring finger.



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 the coral nail varnish on all fingers except the ring fingers.
4. Once the first layer is dry, apply the second layer of polish.
5. I repeated steps 3&4 with my two ring fingers but with the "copper" polish.
. 6. After the second layer of polish is dry on all the nails,  apply a top coat.

That's it for this week's Manicure Monday, I hope you enjoyed today's blog!

What I Wore Wednesday

What I Wore Wednesday



Hey everyone, so I forgot to get a full length photo but you can kind of see my outfit. This week's What I Wore Wednesday is the outfit I wore on Christmas Day. Sorry there isn't a full photo but the only thing you can't see in it is my jeans. 

So I wore a glittery gold top from Guess which my aunt got me a couple of years ago when she was in New York and I paired it with my ONLY jeans because well I was going to be eating a lot of food and  those jeans are kinda stretchy in the material. When I was out visiting my family I paired my outfit with my leather jacket that has a faux fur trim which I got last year and that's is from the brand Ribbon and I bought it in BANK. Shocker it was cold so I also wore my UGG's.
